RE: Umbrella Chronicles - Now With Hot *Trailer* Action
Posts
And this game isn't it. I don't see why that should matter. Super Mario RPG isn't any less fun because it isn't part of the main Mario series. Final Fantasy Tactics isn't a numbered Final Fantasy game but most people love it. Ditto with Megaman Legends.
At least the wii is getting something. It seems like capcom is trying to play to the perceived strengths of the console. It looks like a fun pick-up and play game that makes very good use of the wii-mote. I hope it has more than just rehashed segments of the story so far, but even if it does I think it'll still be a lot of fun. It also looks like a blast to play with a friend, how many RE games so far can you say that about?
Am I just making this up, or was that what this was originally supposed to be?

as much as i've love to see more original titles for the Wii, i prefer this approach(at least in the way RE and Soul Calibur are being handled), than having PS3/360 version ported over with half-assed Wii controls tacked on.
Do you guys prefer the Time Crisis reload style where you duck from damage for a second to reload, or the more traditional style of shooting off screen?
RE5 started production when the PS3 was supposed to be a sure-fire hit, and the 360 already had a large installed base - and when the success of the Wii was up in the air.
RE4:WE and RE:UC are a result of Capcom coming to the realization that the Wii will be a huge success, and that they need to get good games out now while they work on more new, original, and awesome games for the system.
The ideal situation is not having Capcom make an RE game for the 360/PS3 and then downport to the Wii. The best situation is for Capcom to make great RE games for both the 360/PS3 and the Wii that each take advantage of the unique features of each system.
Also, who's to say that Soul Cal Legends will not be good? I think it sounds great and looks good. Maybe it will be the "Ninja Gaiden" of the Soul Cailbur games, who knows? (like how Ninja Gaiden is the action game taking Ryu from the DOA games; and by this I mean Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden, of which it is based on his DOA games, rather than being directly based on the original NES games. Yes, Itagaki took Ryu Hayabusa from the NES trilogy, totally changed him and put him in his fighting game series, then took him as he is in the DOA games and made the new NG games based on that. This is besides the point above, though.)

That's what I heard way back when the only thing we knew about the game was that we could shoot holes in doors.
I mean, the allure of a RE series summary with RE4 mechanics makes me want to talk about my X number of dicks ejaculating everywhere, etc.

I'd like to believe, and if they were just taking one character and focusing on them, I would run with it, but there are two things that make me think Soul Cal Legends will be bad:
1) In the new EGM, the director expressed how he wanted to get all the characters into Legends, not necessarily playable, but in there. This screams of Shaolin Monks to me, shamelessly tossing in characters for cameo bits instead of focusing on the story and gameplay. Ninja Gaiden focused Ryu, and had what, one other DOA character, I think?
2) I usually love to give the benefit of the doubt, and even though this idea smacks of Mythologies/Special Forces/Death by Degrees, I'd like to give it a chance. But the fact remains that it's coming from Namco. Who did Death by Degrees. Which was godawful.
I... how is this bizarre comment even tangentially related to this thread?
It is just how everyone looks as Wii games as being simplified games of what they could be. If Mario Galaxy were to be simplified it would be a mini game combo game.
DOES NOT FEMPUTE!
So... because a game that was announced as a lightgun game turned out to be a lightgun game, a 3D platformer by another company altogether will turn out to be a minigame collection.
BRILLIANT!

What?
Hey, if they can make knife slashing minigames fun on RE: DS I'm sure they can make this fun.
But, I do have to ask -- why are people excited about light gun games on the Wii? Isn't this one genre which has been pretty well replicated on other platforms, thanks to first and third party peripherals dating back to at least the original NES? Is it the addition of nunchuck controls which has everyone so excited?
I'd buy a Wii if they released all the House of the Dead games on it. I'd probably only play 1 and 2 though.
Looks like they've fixed a lot of things that got panned in E3:
* Zombies now react when shot on vital areas or are hurt badly
* Flashlight portion of the game actually seems very thrilling since you can't see shit without flashlight.
* Graphics seem definitely improved.
Thanks to the video, the interest meter definitely went up to 70% must buy for me.
If only the game isn't released close to other big titles, then it's a definite 100%.

OOOOH yes yes FUCK YES.
I knew this game just needed more polish. Seeing that happen is making me happy in the pants.
I was sold before.
Now I'm ... super... sold...? :P
Woo!

Well, it's been mentioned as a feature since the beginning that you have some degree of freedom to 'look around' the area as you are moving along the rails of the game.
I think that you use the analog stick to look around if I'm remembering right. In fact, you can watch some hands on previews that show the players looking about while playing.

especially now that i think about how i can dual wield wiimotes and play 2 player as a single person
The "loading" thing is annoying though. It doesn't cause a noticeable pause in gameplay, so why have it pop up to say "loading"? It's distraction for no reason.

The thing that pops up and says "loading" is the reloading of the gun.
As in, when the user manually decides to reload the gun, it says that for the duration of the reloading. The user is causing that to pop up
edit: n/m, you've got it now

New/alternate subtitle for Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles?

Yes, all people are actually made up leeches.
Resident Evil dialogue strikes again!
I cant help but wonder if its just poor translation. for the last 50 whatever games.
I cant believe im excited for a bunch of on rails games: DQ Swords, that samurai game and this.
I absolutely love rail shooters. I can't even begin to count the amount of coins I pumped into my local HotD2 arcade. Then I played it over and over again on the DC.
I'm just hoping the zapper will work as well as I hope it will, especially with the dodge sections that use the remote.
On a side note, anyone know if HotD4 is worth the coins? I was slightly disappointed in HotD3, but I noticed a local arcade had the new HotD cabinet. Had my trigger finger itching 8-)
Still miles away better than the crappy shotgun attempt for HotD3 though.
