Wii: (Biohazard)Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

That was a demo Innerrise, and what we were anticipating is the same standards from the Survivor side-series, and arcade shooters. House Of The Dead, Time Crisis, Area 51. All the same type of game, slow-paced shooting and moving, that's it. So, that is why many of us didn't think it would be worth it.

Hopefully in the final retail version you can choose who you play as, and is the AI in each chapter, because I'm sure the AI will help out in the final version.

While helpful AI would be nice... perhaps some 2-player co-op is in order?

And indeed, the main problem that would cause UC to fail would be slow-paced shooting. However, from what we've seen the action seems fairly non-stop, so there is hope for it.

Funny how, I said nothing to you, yet you keep quoting my posts? Now who's trying to troll who exactly?

I make on topic replies to your posts because on occasion you have things I wish to reply to, don't flatter yourself.

If you could control your rage and hatred long enough to reply to my posts without being abusive and childish, maybe you wouldn't have such a problem with me replying to you. There's no reason to not reply to me, I'm not sitting here insulting you, I'm making on topic posts.

Being that there are sequences in the game where you have to press the "A" button quickly to dodge certain things where the camera zooms out and you see the single character in front, I don't see how 2 players would work with how they're presenting the game. Plus you frequently hear the character talking, so it's one person, therefore you assume the role of that one person so having two people play when there's only 1 person doing the shooting in the game would be quite off.

In the Mansion scenario, both Chris and Jill can be heard clearly, InnerRise. If AI can be there to assist you, so can another player.

The button-press cutscenes could alternate which player has to do it, by alternating which character is in danger.

I'm not saying I think this is definitely what they're gonna do, I'm saying it's a possibility. Especially given how party-oriented the Wii is being perceived as.

Yes, this is true, but it's fact that Jill actually does no shooting, at least for the parts that have been shown she doesn't assist at all.

I guess they could change that but how close to release are they. I think that'd be too much. And I'm sure they wanted the player to do all the shooting themselves so that's why they don't have some AI Character shooting all of the zombies for you.

Well, the thing is, I doubt Capcom would have both characters together unless the second one was there for a reason. Partly because that's more time, money, and effort to code, which would all be unnecessary. Partly because having the two together really messes up the original timeline (the handgun Chris wields in RE is Jill's, for instance). Why put the other character there unless you have a reason for it.

In RE, depending on your character Barry or Wesker help the player fight in some scenarios.

It's possible that both characters are there so the story can switch you between the two, but what's the point?

It was reported that they are currently only about 25% finished with the game. Release is late fall at the earliest, so there's plenty of time to change things.

It would be a crime to not have co-op. It's soo easy to implement.

Consider every light gun game has had two people, I cannot see this game being strictly singleplayer.

May be old, but more playable characters confirmed, so we're clearly gonna be playing Zero, 1,2, and 3 at least:

..and Usage of wesker.

This will be awesome !

I want this game....

Apparently there is a new original chapter featuring Rebecka Chambers and Richard Aiken.

This game actually looks pretty damn good, I was so pissed when it was announced. It does suck that there doesnt appear to be anything from RE2 though.

But you can play as Wesker, so Im happy. 😄

The Lack of Re2 is kind of annoying...though realistically it's probably because their focusing on the Umbrella corporation and RE2 had little to do with them professionally.

I guess you are right, but I just wanted to play as Leon some more. lol

How does UC fit into the RE universe ? Is it a reboot, or (for all intents and purposes) we ignore it ? Although possibly allowing the side stories (and the fall of umbrella) to remain ?

Its actually really faithful to the RE universe/story. If you are big RE fan, or an RE4 fan who doesnt know the story, you should really play this game. You will play through levels exactly like they were originally, I just completed the RE0 portion, and it really reminded me of that game since I was going into rooms just as they were in that game.

For diehards it does a great job of letting you replay the key events from the series minus RE2, CV, and RE4. And you get cool extras like seeing what Wesker was doing the whole time or how Ada escaped RE2 alive.

That's me, been interested in this game, but a bit unsure about it, how are the controls?

Pretty damn good. I'm kinda iffy with it but then I have shaky hands so I have to concentrate to aim very well.

Another possible reason for an RE2 lack is that if this game does well (and I understand it has) they'll want a sequel, and the cast from RE2 make a good hook to make the second game RE2/CV/RE4, as there is continuity there.

Resident Evil: The Leon Chronicles(RE2 and RE4) 😛

Seems fine to me, its all about how good a shot you are, the sensitivity seems fine. Pretty much everything is done with the pointer and the A and B buttons.
