15 Years Later: Resident Evil 4 Wii Is Still the Definitive RE4 Experience

It's the Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition 15th anniversary. Even 15 years from the Resident Evil 4 Wii release date, Resident Evil 4 Wii is the best version.

The new vr version is.

Was going to say the same thing.

Motion controls? Or motion controls with FULL IMMERSION like you are actually there?

Seems rather obvious and this person just doesn't know better. Doesn't even mention why it would be better than the VR version. Just doing a puff piece for Nintendo and the Wii.

VR is good but doesn’t have Separate Ways and is riddled with censorship. I finished it on Quest 2.

Wii version is best by far.

[TeamIcoFan]

You mean the version with all the unnecessary censorship?

[Eidolon]

Pretty minor to me because it's still an amazing game, but pretty unnecessary, still.

[TeamIcoFan]

Can't have Leon flirting with Hunnigan by telling her she looks cute without her glasses.
That's too offensive and objectifying women.

Nor can we have Ashley stand up for herself after Luis makes a crass comment.
Gotta have her come across as overly aggressive for no reason and bitchy.

Where does any of what you said appear in the article? Because, if you wrote this piece, you're not good at writing. The writer did not use any of those changes as the reason why it's definitive. Didn't use any of it. Only spoke about motion controls of the Wii and it being the precursor to VR.

VR has better motion and better immersion. No amount of motion control and a flat screen tv will come close to what VR does to the gamer.

He didn't mention graphics, story changes, anything. Only mentioned motion controls. If the article was about story, then I'd agree. Go back and read the article.

They cut out like 3 things from the whole game. Doesn't take away from how amazing the experience is. I played it back in January and wow was it awesome.

Since they added the Mercs mode I hope they can add Separate Ways as well at some point.

[generic-user-name]

I don't like the 3 or so cuts in dialogue they made either but that doesn't negate all the advantages the VR version brings.

[Eidolon]

OMG the VR version is so well done. Loving it.

[ApocalypseShadow]

The person who wrote it failed to say anything on why the Wii version is better. Always says that the motion control for Wii paved the way for VR as if something is evolving beyond a previous state.

Then, this statement:

"Though the Wii was a far cry from what virtual reality headsets would eventually become..."

That statement is basically saying there's an evolution in something. Immersion, motion control or both that's way beyond the Wii.

But they call the Wii RE4 the "definitive version" with nothing to back it up other than nostalgia.

[CrimsonWing69]

Yep, this in VR completely changes the experience and for the better. Controls feel better and the immersion is on a whole other level.

Resi 4 VR says hi

[ApocalypseShadow]

Shhhh. Not so loud. Lol. There are gamers here that think playing the game with motion controls on Wii is better than RE4 VR on Quest 2. Those same gamers might think RE7 on TV is better than VR on PS4 or Wipeout on TV is better than the VR version.

Crazy times.

[whitbyfox]

It definitely is. Separate Ways is so good and the pointer controls made it.

[shinoff2183]

The definitive re experience is re1 through code veronica imo.

[Stanjara]

15 years later, nobody plays Wii.

[eddieistheillest]

All in 480p lol please, VR is the definitive experience.

I Just came here to see how many people came to trash talk the Wii version because...reasons. Not dissapointed

[BlackTar187]

No one is really trashing the wii they are just saying vr is a much better experience.
