   They look the same, nothing to go crazy over unless your a wiimote fanatic and have never played RE4

   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.

   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.

   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.

   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!

   >> 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

   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

   they look the same except the wii porbably has better graphics
   the ps2 has a little better than the cube though

    deathreaper, I hope you are talking about content, because the cube graphics are FAR better than the PS2 version…
