::Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles::

As official word has broken out, I thought I'd start the thread before others get out of control. Feel free to gossip out ideas about Capcom's new survivor horror coming out for the Nintendo Wii.

This thread will stay open until otherwise

What we know:

-4 chapters; RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village.
-Each chapter will have 2 characters to choose from. Example: RE1- Jill or Chris, RE2- Leon or Claire, RE3- Jill or Carlos, RE4- Leon or Ada.
-Gamplay will focus on RE4 control style.
-Game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.
-All characters will have some kind of a melee attack
-To insure replay value each character will have strength and weaknesses.
-Each character will have 2 unique weapons. Chris will have a pistol and shotgun and Jill with the pistol and grenade launcher.
-Saving will be similar to Resident Evil 4.
-Arcade mode is introduced. Similar to Mercenaries minigame in RE4.
-Scenario mode will have numerous cutscences.
-Conserving ammo will be a factor. Nothin like RE4 style.

I love this idea, finally we get to find out what happen to Umbrella after the takedown of Raccoon City to the years after. It be a great setup for Resident Evil 5. Plus its like their remaking RE1-RE3.

I just hope it's not gonna be a Resident Evil in a Nutshell type of game. I mean, yeah, it says cutscenes, but will they be as elaborate as the ones in the actual titles? I can believe them doing a good job on the backgrounds, characters, monsters, etc. But it really sounds like a cheaply scrapped together game. Production wise, I mean. I'm sure the gameplay is gonna be very interesting, but I'm very skeptical on the narrative and the voice acting aspect of this game. It just seems like something that Capcom's gonna throw together, like Dead Aim, (Though I did enjoy it, it didn't have half the production value of the other RE games), with a bunch of continuity errors. I mean, we'll see, but I'm skeptical.

Not to mention it could very well disprove my book, and thereby, making me revise it again for the 4th time. But that's my own beef.

I can't wait to see this in action. Jill with a grenade launcher with the RE4 camera? Hoo-hah! biggrin Sounds like a ton of fun. :O Knowing Capcom, and them most likely hearing the populace wanting a remake of the other games besides REmake, this will turn out to be a fine title. I'm sure they'll find good voice actors for it, like in RE0 and REmake. In my opinion, of course. Survival horror is going to make its return! >D Ammo conservation returns! Woo! xd Bio's skeptical, I'm optimistic. biggrin

Okay, to be honest, I'm HOPING it's gonna suck. Not because I hate Nintendo. Because I hate the idea that if it turns out really good, I either have to spend $400 extra dollars AFTER buying my PS3... That, or miss out on a great RE title. Damn it, I'm just not that wealthy!  

[[~.Kami.Kaze.~]]

Yes, that's why I don't ask about the games off of the Playstation console...... they end up as heart breakers.......  

[Canas Renvall]

I'm going to do everything I can to get the money for both. I want RE5 and RE: UC. Very badly. Like, heart achingly. I can't choose which one first, though. D:  

[MM-212 Beta]

I could care less about the graphics, I hope the game is more focused on Umbrella than the indepth story of each chapter. I'm going to guess this will be shipped before RE5 or sometime close to it.  

[[~.Kami.Kaze.~]]

Not like most of us won't try to complete each game in one sitting anyways. >.>  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

All we saw were the backgrounds of the mansion. No characters. Is this game gonna be in first person? Because that would completely suck.
For all we know, Capcom made the characters have big heads. I mean, that's what every other Wii game did.

Gameplay will focus on RE4 control style.

The only difference between RE4 and a First Person Shooter is that in RE4 you can actually see the BACK of the character.

First person sucks......... In Derge the demo parts I played at a game store, half the time Vincent's damn head took up more than half the screen.
Quite frankly I liked the RE4 style POV, not too much character occupied the screen so it was still easy to pick off the Ganados.
