What? When I said that a thing is based on something in this context, I meant the coding. Even if the HD version looks EXACTLY like the GCN version in HD will all the assets, if it is the PS2 coding through and through, it is based on the PS2 version in my book. You can say it's a hybrid, sure, but the engine is PS2 in that situation. That's why I said the handling of Leon in RE4 HD, IMO, is identicaly to how he handles in the PS2 version. GCN/Wii versions things move a bit faster.
1) That's an opinion which looks better, and I get what you're saying, but I would still say the GCN version on an SDTV is the best option in general. If you ABSOLUTELY must play this game on an HDTV, then yea, the HD version is the best option.
2) However, the Wii version is still the definitive version of this game. And I love RE 4 for many reasons, and one of them are the visuals, but I would say the visuals aren't what makes or breaks this game at all.
3) Which brings me to your last statement. Who gives a shit if it is the best looking version? I want the BEST version overall. That is NOT RE 4 HD.
Edit: And wow, I only came into this thread to rag on CVX, and end up getting into an argument over RE4. Seriously, again - RE 4 is still one of the best games ever frickin made, but the HD version is a quick cash in. I have a Wii. I have the best version of the game still.
