Cashcom will find a way to bring it to Wii-U, don't worry. If Resident Evil 4 and 5 are any indication, RE 6 will see the following releases:

Resident Evil 6 (base game; will receive plenty of DLC)
Resident Evil 6: PC Edition (featuring exclusive bonus content; will never receive DLC)
Resident Evil 6: Gold Edition [PS3] (featuring all of the base game's DLC on disc; motion controls; no extra content from PC version)
Resident Evil 6: Gold Edition [360] (featuring all of the base game's DLC on download vouchers; no extra content from PC version)
Resident Evil 6: Wii-U Edition (featuring all of the base game's DLC on disc; motion controls; tablet controls; no extra content from PC version)

Rest assured that if you truly want the complete RE 6 experience, you will be forced to buy the game on both PC and Wii-U.

Have the PC versions ever had their own content that couldn't be played anywhere else?

[Foggle]

Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 both have PC-exclusive content that never came to the console versions. And RE 5's PC version never received the console versions' DLC. So, with RE 5, no matter which version you buy, you aren't getting the complete game.

DMC 4's PC stuff is more innocuous. Apparently console hardware couldn't handle Turbo mode or Legendary Dark Knight difficulty without severe frame rate drops. But there's absolutely no excuse for consoles not getting RE 5's PC content and PCs not getting RE 5's DLC packs.

What content is exclusive to the PC version of RE5?

[Foggle]

Some additional costumes and a new mode for Mercenaries iirc. Nothing important, but still stuff that should have been on the console versions.

So there's no complete version. Guess RE5 found another way to be lame.

Indeed. The PS3 Gold Edition is the most complete, though, since it has every piece of DLC content on the disc and motion controls. Meanwhile, the PC version is the most technically proficient, since it runs at 60 FPS and features DirectX 10 graphical effects. Finally, the Xbox 360 version is the only one with non-shitty netcode.

Basically fuck Capcom for adding more fuel to the console war fire.

Maybe Wii-U will get an on-rail RE5 and 6 instead.

Nah, they'll save that for Kinect 2.

Wow, longest shooter campaign ever? Sounds amazing.

That's good. I liked RE4's length.

After the discussion from earlier, I must ask the question. What would you say is the best way to play each game in the series (RE1, RE2, RE3, RECV, REmake, RE0, RE4, RE5)?

[Foggle]

RE 1 - Director's Cut on PS1
RE 2 - DualShock Edition on PS1
RE 3 - PS1
RE CV - Code Veronica X on PS2
REmake - Wii port with GameCube controller
RE 0 - Wii port with GameCube controller
RE 4 - Wii version for most control options or Xbox 360/PS3 version for best graphics
RE 5 - Xbox 360 version for best online experience and DLC packs or PC version for best graphics and performance in main game or PS3 Gold Edition for motion controls

Addendum:

RE 4 - Wii version for people who prefer physical media for console games
RE 5 - PS3 Gold Edition for people who want the complete experience without any downloading required

And, just for fun, here are the worst versions of each game!

RE 1 - Game Boy Color
RE 2 - PC
RE 3 - PC
RE CV - Code Veronica X on GameCube
RE 4 - PC

How about the Dreamcast/PS2/Wii ports?

[Foggle]

How about the Dreamcast/PS2/Wii ports?

DreamCast version of Code Veronica is better than the GameCube version in spite of not having the bonus content from X. The GameCube version is technically deficient in certain areas.

Resident Evil 4 PS2 has more content than the GameCube version but also has extremely muddy graphics and awful cutscenes/QTEs.

GameCube ports of 2 and 3 are about the same as the PS1 versions, but I'd rather use the PlayStation controller.

Wii ports are only better for REmake and 0 due to slightly sharper graphics and not requiring any disc-swapping.

RE 1 - Game Boy Color

There was another RE on the Gameboy?

I was always under the impression that the N64 version would be the worst incarnation of 2 (for obvious reasons).
