Still unsure whether I'm particularly looking forward to this or not...

the police station from Resident Evil II and the train from Resident Evil Zero will be included as levels.

In fact, half of the game actually takes place in locations taken straight from other games in the series, leaving the rest to take you through Umbrella Corps strongholds and enemy lairs.

Using the Nunchuk controller and tilting it will allow movement of the camera to uncover hidden objects and power-ups

This will be the worst entrant to the series in years. Worse than the PS2 'Outbreak' exclusives. Resident Evil doesn't contain 'enemy lairs', it never has 'power ups', and it never ever has 'levels' Smilie

This is what happens to a classic series when they do a shite spin-off for Wii-owning casuals. Proper remakes of RE2 (in particular), and RE3 would have been awesome. But, we get this shit instead.

Umbrella Chronicles sounds terrible.

Read my plan:

Nobody buy UC when it comes out, and everybody buy the Resident Evil 4 Wii version.
That way Capcom will see what type of Resident Evil game we want.

They will develop a new game, and all will be well again.

Well I can dream can't I?

I can't help but agree with Oni.

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

the only way i'll buy this game is
if capcom makes it co-op
otherwise i can see the game getting very boring during single player

I'm not sure what to think really. I would have loved a new RE in the style of RE4, but I'm going to hold out for UC and see what it's like rather than judging it before I play it. It might turn out alright yet.

By the way, is the game on-rails, or can you move through the game freely? I think I heard it's the former.

On-rails, which is the biggest crime here.

knighty on 06.05.2007 at 22:46#8

Well RE4 sorta had levels <.<

It wasn't totally free roaming was it now?

I do agree this sounds crummy though.

Metroid on 06.05.2007 at 23:11#9

I can't wait for these 2 games, i think they both will be awsome!

snkngshps on 06.05.2007 at 23:45#10

Yeah, the rail-riding aspect is what's killing me. I can't even remember the last time I played a rail riding first person shooter. Oh yeah, Virtua Cop.

tiamat1990 on 07.05.2007 at 04:42#11

It sounds good...but it's still on-rails. I really just cannot get over that part.

Martin_ on 07.05.2007 at 04:58#12

They should rename it Resident Cop, or maybe Virtua Evil.

mOojc on 07.05.2007 at 07:56#13

I still have SOME hope for this game but it just sounds... crappier and crappier each time.

Megadanxzero on 07.05.2007 at 09:11#14

Not really anything we didn't already know there... I assumed that Wesker would be in it since there were pictures of him back when the first scans appeared...

Either way it'll probably be pretty short and only good for a quick laugh, but at least it'll be better than every RE game before 4

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society
