I just stumbled across this. Has anyone seen it yet? I hope I'm not just way behind on my news.

I'm going to search for a better quality trailer, but youtube will do for now.

    It wouldn't be Resident Evil if the dialogue wasn't cheesy as hell.

    ...actually, it probably wouldn't be a Capcom game if the dialogue wasn't cheesy as hell

    Good thing I refreshed the page before I posted the same thing as you.

    Yeah, the dialogue is not very good, but at least it's real-time and adds to the atmosphere I guess. Looks like a fun game to play with a friend, though, for sure.

    Very true. Bad dialog is part of the Resident Evil experience.

    Doesn't really look like a good game from all the footage I have seen. I could be wrong though :P

    What, exactly, doesn't look good here? The part where you shoot the zombies or....what?

    You're small time.



    Where did everyone go? Bingo?




    So awesome.

    In Resi 4, when Luis leans towards camera in the storm siege part and says 'Its game time' I literally punched the air N64 kid style. Thats the moment when you know this game is so awesome.

    Ok, so forgive me for a possibly obvious question, but I'm guessing Umbrella Chronicles is an on-rails shooter (Based on a portion of that video where both players are shooting on the same screen)... If so, that's awesome. It's been too long for Nintendo not to have gotten a lightgun game going on the Wii.

    Well, its a on rails shooter...your supposed to shoot things =P

    I think it looks like a good shooter, and I am looking forward to it. The addition of co-op makes it even more interesting.

    Either way, its good we will finally get the canon version of the RE timeline.

    Wow. I'm sure it's just the Resident Evil fanatic in me, but that trailer is way cooler than anything I've seen of the game so far. Replay Resident Evil 0, 1, 3, and more with updated visuals in a rails shooter with Wii controls. Oh yeah!

    Lack of any RE2 action saddens me, although since the game had like 4 seperate storylines, even if you don't factor in Hunk and co I suppose they don't really have much more to tell about RE2

    I've only seen the trailer that is on the RE4: WE disk, but I cannot understand how anyone could think this is going to be bad.

    Maybe if you don't like on rails light gun games, but shit, this looks like a damn fine shooter. I really don't understand what you're looking at when you say it looks like a "trash shooter". What does a not-trash shooter look like?

    i think theyre gonna save the re2 stuff as a surprise. RE without hunk? cmon and RE2 missing from a revamp game? thats like shooting your gun from the holster. while your holster is pointed at your penis

    ...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.

    Anyone saying that about this game probably just thinks that all on-rails arcade shooters are trash games. Like it's a trash genre.

    It looks seriously awesome.

    I honestly don't care about the RE plot at all, but I love House of the Dead and on-rail light gun games in general.

    Hopefully we get a release date this week.

    I don't care for them myself, but I watched the trailer and really hope (wish, dream, etc.) for a Typing of the Dead style treatment on the PC, or any console that can plug in a keyboard.

    Guys, you are missing the point of this game - shooting zombies... co-op! Ah, the memories of The House of the Dead came rushing like a flood.

    I am seriously gay for this game.

    On a related note, it seems that The Typing of the Dead will get a sequel, The Typing of the Dead 2 (imagine that), and it will be based on THOTD3.

    And bad voice-acting? Put some protective wear over your ears and play THOTD2 because you will most likely stab them to death after the intro.

    And it gets much, much worse.
