I've seen it claimed a few times that the Wii version of RE4 is based on the PS2 version, but I've never been able to find any actual documentation of this. It has the PS2's extras but AFAIK all of the GC's graphics and in-engine cutscenes are intact so I have a hard time believing they based it on the PS2 release. Does anybody have evidence for what version the Wii is working off of?

Well wouldn't it be retarded to port the PS2 engine to the Wii which is practically GC 2.0? I highly doubt that anon

it's a lie, it's the gamecube version with the PS2 content ported to it. The Eda mode uses shitty PS2 video quality for the cut scenes and the spinels do in fact use the PS2 model but everything else is gamecube. Except for the flips against the armors in the castle, that scene was fixed compared to gamecube

it would be retarded but i've seen it mentioned multiple times on both /vr/ and elsewhere that it was based upon the PS2 version with GC graphics slapped on, and that the Wii version still retains a few downgrades from the PS2 version like a single instance of a red herb with the lower poly PS2 model. that's why i want to get to the bottom of it.

It’s not however has the ps2 extras which is hilarious because the graphics in these extra modes are a clear downgrade to the actual main game

Interesting, sounds like one of those 'frankenstein' ports

and that very same port is the one used until today. Ps3, 360, steam, Xone, PS4, Switch, all use that one, last 4 supporting 60fps but with a reloading animation for the sniper rifle locked at 30 because Capcom

are you retarded or just baiting? yes, the Wii version looks like the GC version because it's using the GC's graphics. the point of contention is whether or not the code is taken from the PS2 version with GC graphics used overtop -- a claim supported by the fact that there are a few PS2 models erroneously included in the Wii release where there shouldn't be.

I played through re4 about 27 times on gc when i had one. And completed on wii 2 years ago, and at the same rime i tried the gc version on the wii just for a little comparison. The wii version defintely has better graphics than the ps2 version but it seems somewhat different from the gc, i dont know if its the color, the AA, the fog or what. The wii version was ntsc on ntsc console and the gc version was pal but playing at 60hz natively (because I like the particularities of GC Pal version more)

Is it me or are people stealth-trying to move the /vr/ goalpost to include Wii/DS by starting threads with tangential box covers from those generations?

It's just people thinking they're clever. Kinda like when someone makes a Crysis thread.

IIRC the original PC version is based on the PS2 port. Maybe people are getting confused because of how the Wii version also has the extra content like separate ways

Bullshit assumptions based on the fact that it has the PS2 extra content.

Just like people claim RE2 on GameCube is "a port of the PlayStation version" because it doesn't have the extra content of the PC version.
RE2 and 3 on GameCube are based on the PC version and only used content of the PSX version when the PC version was lacking.

Most likely RE4 Wii is a port of the GC version, plus they ported the extra content of the PS2 version.
