Rely on Horror: In an upcoming interview with Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, we learned that a Wii U version of the game is currently not Capcom's focus, stating that the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC versions are. We weren't told whether or not a Wii U version is completely out of the cards, so maybe there's hope.

Despite some signs of its age, Resident Evil is still as scary as ever with the remake's recent release on Nintendo Switch.
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks have been really interesting as we've seen some truly amazing AI-enhanced texture packs for older games. Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Half-Life, Max Payne, Morrowind and Doom are just a few of the games that got new high-quality textures that were produced via AI Neural Networks and today, modder ‘Shiryu’ released a new AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Resident Evil HD Remaster."
I'm not really convinced by this AI Neural Networks thing using this as an example. I know you can't ask for much when it comes to pre-rendered stuff, but you can barely see a difference with most of these. At its worst, there's an imperceptible difference. At its best, you can see it cleared up some jaggies and looks a liiiittle less blurry.
I will download it of course, but based on the screenshots, this doesn't improve things a whole lot.
It does make a difference. Mods in general are just awesome. They've helped make so many of my games look better. The HD reworked texture mods and other mods for The Witcher 3, for example, made it look way better.
This may be small improvements now but it could be huge for gaming's future. AI with a ryzen based chip programmed to use the neural network to determine to the metal coding might allow programmers to focus on high level coding. That means games get done really fast and the budget goes into things like story and production. Once you have an ai that understands its given hardware it can decide how to run the code to maximize frames and resolution. AI will revolutionize gaming.
I have a feeling we will hear something about this a little closer to launch. I hope it does. If not, I'll always still have the Gamecube/Wii versions.
Seems so weird that a GCN remake is not being remastered on a Nintendo console. Good thing I'm getting a PS4 next month.
Its very unfortunate that not even Japanese publishers are backing up the WiiU. This one remaster would've been great for the console ;)
No surprises here
Wasn't there a Wii port of REmake?
So i guess it isn't needed since WiiU is backwards compatible
