    I have this on GC with component cables and 480p on an LCD tv. The picture quality is just the same as wii version. However, GC version is formatted letterbox and does not support 16:9 ratio. This means you will see black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
    The PS2 port looks bad even with component cables.
  • Eric
    Yeah, they’re pretty close.

    Four things to note here.

    1.) The Wii version will natively support 16×9 480p, so it will look better on those screens. A lot more people have a component cable for the Wii then did on the Cube.

    ---------------------
    B.S.
    I have a high def 47" LCD TV and component cables and set my wii for 480P - This game looks like crap. There is no way it is native 480P.

    I love this game with the Wiimote and nunchuck - it's the only version I've played but it seems perfectly intuitive - but it was better on my old 32" tube, because the 480i graphics do not look good blown up big screen - no way in hell this is 480P.

    can RE4 gamecube play in wii using wiimote because i want to use the gun controller. Let me know.
  • flamingsquirrel
    deathreaper, I hope you are talking about content, because the cube graphics are FAR better than the PS2 version...
  • DeathReaper
    they look the same except the wii porbably has better graphics
    the ps2 has a little better than the cube though
  • Ben Woodhead
    I can notice that the wii version is a lot smoother/cleaner than the gamecube version, but that's about it, they could have mad it look a lot better if they could have been bothered
  • >> Wait… Do heads still come off in the Wii version?

    Yes, the NTSC-US and PAL Wii version have all the gore, the version in the video above NTSC-Japan
  • Darkwing
    Wait... Do heads still come off in the Wii version? In the end of the video, only the Cube version had Leon's head drop to the floor. I would be so not happy if they censored the violence for the Wii release!

    Seeing as my GC version of RE4 doesn't work anymore I might grab the Wii version if it is worth it... let's wait and see the ratings first. I mean the GC version is cheaper.
  • flamingsquirrel
    eh, the textures don't looks as muddy, when I play my Japaneses import
  • Ben
    Check... and check.
    //They look the same, nothing to go crazy over unless your //a wiimote fanatic and have never played RE4
  • Yeah, they're pretty close.

    1.) The Wii version will natively support 16x9 480p, so it will look better on those screens. A lot more people have a component cable for the Wii then did on the Cube.

    2.) Most likely they captured footage of the GameCube version on a Wii, which would enhance the graphics slightly.

    3.) The NTSC US and PAL versions will have all of the same gore as the GameCube version. The one in the video is for NTSC Japan.

    4.) This is a pretty small video (even the downloaded QuickTime).

    I'm going to take full size screen grabs from each game tomorrow and compare. I'm also going grab the stills from the GameCube version from a GameCube.
