so what's the general consensus? Wii or PS3/360? I still have the Wii version unopened and sealed, but if the Wii version is still the superior version I'm just going to open it up and start playing it. If not, I'm gonna buy it on Xbox Live....so what's the dealio familio

I personally didn't care for the wiimote controls, plus the game looks like ass on an HDTV. HD version will be a godsend for me.

To be fair, we don't know the extent of the slowdown problem. If it's just in the once case that cvxfreak reported, can't we get over it? (I'm not sure why it would only be in that one instance, but I'll wait and let those who have the game inform us about how pervasive it is.)

So if you choose the HD version you're gonna just hold onto that sealed Wii version until its value skyrockets to 15 dollars?

it's not sealed because I'm collecting it or anything, but I have no point in opening it if I'm just going to sell it, even if it is just for 10 dollars (I bought it for 15 dollars anyways)
regardless, I still haven't played RE4 so when I go through the game for the first time I want to do it in the most definitive way possible

The most definitive way, IMO, is going to be in HD with the original controls and all the bonus content. Some people like the Wii version more because the pointer makes it easier to aim, and that can probably be more fun if you've played it before, but the game is designed around the original controls so that's what I'd call the definitive experience.
People are only upset because the HD version doesn't improve on the original as much as it should have. There's no reason it couldn't have been better, but even so, at 720p with no AA it's still easily the best version from what I've seen. The GCN and Wii versions were dithered PQ abominations.Emperor Bohe said:

This I can sympathize with. If I had bought the game multiple times before (actually, I borrowed the PS2 one from my brother, indefinitely, so I've never bought it) I'd be more upset about the price and I'd likely adjust my attitude about how much effort they are putting in accordingly. As it stands, it looks like it's good enough for me to pay 20.

alright, sounds like I'm going to get the HD version eventually. too bad there isn't a way for me to play the disc on my North American Xbox 360.

Where was that section supposed to be anyway? Right before the lake monster, wasn't it? I didn't experience any slowdown there, not bad enough for me to notice anyway.
e~ though the framerate was definitely a bit lower right after the lake when looking down from the top of the cliff (before abseiling) during that dam puzzle area. Fairly minor though, there's quite a lot on screen.

I don't know, you'll have to ask cvxfreak for more details. I watched a youtube earlier and during the big village horde the player lead a bunch of enemies down a narrow path and shotgunned 4 or 5 of them at once and I think I saw a hint of slowdown. I bet the original RE4 would do the same thing.
edit: just watched the video again and I might have just imagined the slowdown. looks fine to me.

RE4: Anyone know if there are Novistadors on the path back to the free Broken Butterfly? They were removed in the PS2 and Wii versions.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I don't really see any purpose for putting DRM on CVX and RE4, and I doubt they'd do it because:
1. It's purely offline (except for the leaderboards, but why DRM just for leaderboards).
2. If my assumptions are right, Bionic Commando: Rearmed has autosaves. Assuming that BC:R2 has autosaves also, going offline and automatically quitting is assumed to be safe because it's saved. However, there is no autosave in RE4 and RECVX, it would be highly idiotic if a DRM that quits when disconnected is implemented in a non-autosaving game.

So will the PSN versions have the DRM or not? I will buy these if i can share them between consoles.

Regarding Crapcom DRM: You have to be online to launch the game, however losing your connection during play does nothing.

I can confirm 100% the jp 360 version is NTSC-J (china excluded) locked only.
on RE4 disc, there a lot of files left from the Wii. (a few from ps2 and gc too, but I never took a deeper look at those versions so I don't know.)
it's text is in jp only but if you swap some file from the pal or us wii version in this, you can get english instead.
first boot the bayo4 jp disc with you system set to fr/de/it/es/en the achivements will be in that language.
none story based achievements :
the rest is 50G each and story based.

I looked through the thread but may have missed if this was already answered. Is the RE4 port the GC/Wii or PC/PS2 version? IIRC, the GC version had additional/better lighting and effects not found in the PS2/PC version, right? Would like to know what to expect when I download this Tuesday. Thanks.

the RE4 port is based on the GC/Wii version, and has the additional content that was added in the PS2 and Wii version, but it does not have move support.KageMaru said:

yeah, it's definitely the Wii version. (without waggle support)
Pachterballs> maybe it's because they played from the bluray, I know I played the first hour from the HDD on 360 and had no such problems.
the CGs look "ok", I mean it's 480p(?) ps2 movies upscaled to 720p and blured as much as they could. (but it's not choppy at all (wmv files and xma files))
for the game, for some reason, as mentioned on the 8-4 podcast (I think) they though it would be smart to use some shitty grainy filter to had some Silent Hill 2 effect >_> (not sure if you can turn it off or not though)
aside from that the game looks pretty sharp.
