Sigh... This seems to be another port-a-potty (see what I did there) for Wii-ified controls. Chances are still goin' down, but I'm really hoping that devs put more effort into their games. As you said, they be doin' the talk, but seem to be crawling around :/
Gahhh! why arent the extras from the PS2 version included here? that was one of the main reasons to get this version. It couldnt be that hard to add it in. I was definately going to pick this up but now its a probably not, even if its a cheaper price. Think ill stick the GC one.
Why cant the developers do more than just port old games to the Wii?

Actually, this is basically the PS2 version with Gamecube graphics. Everything from the PS2 version is included. I reworded that sentence to make it less confusing now.
Well I mean, seeing that I don't think I've ever agreed with any opinion anybody at destructoid has ever said, it's most likely I'll still be giving this bad boy a chance.
ahhh i understand now. Reading has never been one of my strong suits.
Well thats upgraded my interest a bit more but its not gonna be a must have.

it's sucky that Capcom isn't or doesn't feel the need to include something to add to the Wii version of RE4. I mean a rehash is just plain lazy...
Wow. For a minute there, I had sworn Summa had written this article.
Jesus, did we really need TWO Summas at this site?

I've read hands-ons at several other sites, and they all seemed to love it with the Wii controls. I'm still planning on checking this out, since I never got a chance to finish it on the GC.
Yeah, I have to second "that guy above me" (way to hard to spell or say that name, man). I guess we have to wait until the final version, since I remember some reviewers saying that Red Steel's controls "could potentially be good" as well.
Jeeze, it's pronounced exactly the way it's spelled: Miks-yez-pit-lik. :P
Just use "Mxy" and pronounce it "Mixie" :)

"To make matters worse, the laser sight has been removed alltogether and... has been replaced by a giant aiming cursor that interferes with the gaming experience."
Did I call that like 2 weeks ago? I think I did! (/gloat)

Nothing new to offer anyone? So everyone in the world bought the Gamecube version then rushed out and got the ps2 version?
I'll wait to try it myself. The crosshair looks annoying. How do you move the view? With the stick? Cause that sounds like a great scheme. I'm gonna reserve judgement but stay skeptical.
You sound like you're sensationalising this is bit. Ends up reading like The Sun reviews games.

"Graphically, this game proves that the Wii isn't so much as two Gamecubes taped together, but actually one Gamecube with a carrot squished inside it."
How does RE4Wii prove this at all? If Capcom isn't adding anything new to the game, they clearly aren't updating the graphics at all. This is just Capcom shoveling out another port, and does absolutely NOTHING to prove or disprove the Wii's graphical prowess.

SyphonBlue: While you're kinda right about the port thing, the Wii is a Gamecube with a remote, and maybe a carrot squished inside (practical application plz). The sooner everyone relegates themselves to this fact, the sooner everyone can STFU about it AJP.
I never played RE4 and was looking forward to this game a lot! Depending on the price if I pick it up or not, since they didn't add crap to it. Either get it for GC or the Wii, price determines it. And it's a big let down hearing the wii mote is hard to use :(
Seriously...I wanted this game for the extras...I knew the Wii controls would hurt it (does anyone actually like the Wii controls for real games?) ...but the lack of the PS2 extras seals the deal and I will not pick this one up.
There is no wii bashing here. The controls suck and there is no extra content. It is just capcom trying to make a few extra bucks.
at least i dont have to imagine feedback when i wave my stuff at that cockeyed presidents daughter thing that followed the cop dude about and wanted it, despite( or perhaps because of) the peril.
thank you capcom.
once i've saved up my two thousand pounds to play freezing bionic commando alpha on a new pc i'l be there for midnight opening.

um, this really doesn't seem like wii bashing this time guys. more like an accurate review of what seems like a shitty port.
It's too bad they are just trying to repackage the same game in a shiny new package to fatten their wallet. Isn't RE5 coming out this year for the 360? I'll wait for that one.
Its funny. 1up loves it, and they're pretty critcal of the wii. They say the controls make it the best version of the game. So does IGN. At 30 bucks, having never really played RE4, Im all over it.
Haha, this articles are so Biase. We'll say the ps3 is right wing, and left wing is the wii. All the ps3 people do is bash the wii people. just like in real life.
any way, i think it looks hella cool. aiming with the wiimote in RE4 sounds dope. It will take some getting used to though.

yeah, they never said it would be better graphics. they literally just ported it over, it has nothing to do with the power in the box. just like every goddam Wii game so far.
*sigh* I cant wait till holiday time....

@ imcowman: Actually, it probably looks better than most Wii games so far, which says something for how good it originally looked and how lazy most Wii developers are.
I'm with Necros and "That guy above him". It seems a number of gaming sites have come out and said that they like the new controls for the Wii version. But then again I rarely trust previews for any game. So I'll wait until we see the the final product and a few reviews for it.
I also read many previews and they said the controls worked well.I am so tired of control complaints from Wii noobs that cannot adjust(lack of cordination)to motion controls, but I also can't defend poor controls either and from the most things I read on RE4 it doesn't suffer from poor controls
Mr.Haley seem to be taking lessons from summa
anyway when almost everyone is saying something different i have to doubt the accuracy of this preview.

"To top it all off, RE4 was a rather long and enjoyable experience, but most gamers will get tired of aiming the Wiimote after just a short while making it impossible to submerse yourself into the game" - That's what so many people said about Zelda: TP, yet it continues to be praised for being such an awesome game. To each his own.
Fine, you guys who didn't play the game and think the game plays just fine because FOX IGN or AOL ZIFF DAVIS 1UP said so, then have fun with it. Spend your $50 on a game that is the exact thing you've played before except with unprecise controls. If that's your definition of a good time, then I'm sure you'll be pleased.
Why does it matter what other web sites said? This is what we say. We were there, we're not going to sugarcoat anything because our big corporate head said to because he's worried about advertisers, we're going to tell you the truth. William and I are more or less here to tell you what happened and what we experienced so that when it's time for you to spend YOUR money, you do it wisely.
If the game worked well, we would have said so. We spent a lot of time there and a lot of time playing these games so we could give you the honest truth.
If you get it and agree with us, then great. If you don't, then, well, to each his own. Stop trying to invalidate our opinion just because FOX IGN or AOL ZIFF DAVIS 1UP had a different opinion.

And further more, that's why we, Destructoid, are here. We're not giving you the same view you get from every other Web site. We're giving you our honest opinion. We're not forcing you to do anything, we're just giving you another point of view that maybe you can't get anywhere else.
Diversity ftw!
Diversity ftw!
the thing is summa that 1up who seems to hate almost anything wii likes the controls which is saying a lot.
Also i agree that diversity is good that is the reason why i checked previews from multiple location only to find you guys being the odd one out i much rather believe a lot of people than just one person.
Either way i really dont care as i will play the gamecube version of this game on the wii (when i actually get one).

I see where you're coming from Summa, but a biased opinion is a biased opinion, regardless. I mean, you have shown that you think the Wii, as it stands, is crap. Obviously that's going to have an affect on how you feel about a Wii game. Unless it's a true masterpiece, you're going to think of it as nothing but another piece of trash. I'm glad INDEPENDENT Destructoid is here, but let's face it: I can't take an article written by Summa seriously anymore as far as the Wii is concerned. Is what he said really true, or is that the bias showing? I say the same thing after reading an IGN article. I know you can't help hating what you hate, but let's not kid ourselves: if you think it's going to suck before you get to it, then that's going to lower your experience with it. Just like you can't help hating Wii games, don't blame your readers for not taking a known Wii-hating blogger's opinion on it.
It may just be me, but the article comes off as somewhat biased. Owning a Wii and 360 (as well as a PS2) myself, I don't consider myself a biased person and I will say that I see problems for the Wii ahead. If this is what the Wii's library is going to be comprised of, ports of past games with Wii controls (aka Prince of Persia, etc), that's no good. We need good exclusive first and third party games that take full advantage of the Wiimote for this to work.
However, I love Resident Evil 4. I don't love Prince of Persia. To see Resident Evil 4 Wiified is pretty exciting, in my opinion. Wii ports such as Prince of Persia generally add shaking/stabbing controls to games I've played before, and I don't want that.
But being a huge fan of RE4 and not having wanted to touch the PS2 version due to the inferior graphics, controls, and load times, I'm pleased to see this coming. Not only is it a true port of how the game was meant to look, and not only does it have the PS2 extras, but it has Wii aiming, my favorite Wii-port extra. I haven't felt the aiming yet, but according to everyone besides yourself, it's wonderful. Not only that, but it's in true widescreen and supports progressive for the first time with the original, superior graphics? And all for around 30 bucks (I'm not sure where you heard it was a full $50, but I know the Japanese version is cheaper and I heard this will be too)?
Count me in.
I haven't read around this site much, but I do hope the rest of the content isn't so opinionated, especially to the point where it comes off as being biased. Blogs are supposed to be compared to journalism, not angry message board fanboy posts.

Sorry for the double post, but I was just reading the article again and seriously:
"So what is RE4 like with the Wiimote? I'm going to try not to exaggerate with this analogy... It's like driving through a mine field while some little brat covers your eyes and pees on the back of your head."
"Unless you studied the art of concentration with Buddhist monks, you're probably like Summa's caffeinated arse and make the targeting cursor look like a glo-stick at a rave."
Again, I haven't tried the aiming yet for this game, but c'mon. Unless every single site that's played this game is completely wrong, those are the biggest exaggerations I've heard in quite some time. The aiming makes it feel like you're blind? The cursor will be moving so quickly that I can't see anything but a blur, let alone aim? What makes you think I'll take another article written by yourself seriously again with completely obvious biased exaggerations like that? I try to take blogging as seriously as mainstream gaming news sites, but you're not making it easy. I've read message board rants from 12 year olds with more ties to reality than this article.
"I'm going to try not to exaggerate with this analogy..."
Right.

I respect Destructoid for thier blatently obvious points on where they stand for games, if I wanted to read how every Wii game rocked my world and cured cancer I would go to Nintendo's forums. Every one has opinions and so far the D-toid team are pretty open minded but keep in mind they don't sensor it out for fan boys. I like that as it DOES create contriversy from other people and gets debates and arguments flowing (note every comment typed above and below).
Now I am a HARDCORE RE fan I own them all for PS, PS2 and GC (well not Re4 on PS2 or those god forsaken gun survivor ones *shudders*) but I could not justify re-buying this game for $50-$60 when you can go buy it used for $15 for PS2 of GC or new for under $30 and get the same experience without waving your hand around infront of you TV.
I enjoyed the Wii sports games and as soon as I can get my hands on a Wii I plan to purchase it; however, all FPS games I have played as well as racing ones blow baby chunks. My girl friend really wants a Wii and that my biggest influence as to purchasing a system right now.
