Awesome new Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles trailer

Gaminglegend · (08-23-2007, 10:14 AM)

We're finally starting to see more of this game, and it's looking better than I originally expected it to. Capcom has shown off a trailer at GC 07 of Resident Evil: UC in action, serving up plenty of bloody gameplay sequences to be seen.

It's worth a look - I might actually considering purchasing this one when it's released.

Trailer is here.

Thoughts? Interesting to see if the game is better than those other light-gun Resi games from the past...

They were, but they're not human anymore.

Voice acting is as terrible as always.

Looking better (Zombies actually seem to react to getting hit now) but I'm still not sure whether to get it or not.

Same one as the one in the UC pictures thread?

If so, was much improved, looked great. Seemed to have frequent framerate drops though.

Can't view it on this connection atm.

What the hell is going on with the dialog?

* Lots of gunfire at the leech *
* Leech then gather together to form a human shape *

Rebecca then said "Is this thing human?"

I mean WTF??

And what's up with the guy in the demo keep shooting at the limb and between the legs.

[/rant]

Anyway, this is new (to me and probably to anyone else).

Oh and the font for the subtitle is pretty bad. I wish they use the usual font for that.

The lack of pace in this game starts to worry me.

This game is in desperate need of some gibbage.

Ugh, this game is horrible. The guns sounds horrible, the voices sound horrible, the enemies and environments look horrible, shit is just horrible...

Been saying this for a long, long time.

I'm disappointed, Capcom.

I haven't played it, but personally -- I feel that in on-rails shooter should be:

1) Crazy, bullet infested, sound effects up your ass, blood everywhere, intense crazy shit.

2) Hard as fuck

3) Loud as fuck

4) Fast as fuck

5) Fuck the fuckin fuckers.

It's like "is it fuckin human" no shit bitch, shut the fuck up -- shoot shit!!! You shouldn't have time to talk is where I'm getting at.

the game seems so methodical. Which is something you don't want on a rail shooter.

I still want my File 3, damn you capcom.

It's an on-rails shooter. How can you not get an accurate idea of how it plays by watching some gameplay footage?

n8NMONSTER · (08-23-2007, 11:08 AM)

the game looks awesome, imo.

lookin forward to it.

Is this thing... human ?

Soul4ger · (08-23-2007, 11:26 AM)

It looks quicker and more difficult than the E3 version, at least.

Or any game for that matter.

Holy shit Resident Evil:UC is getting lots of new media today. Whats up with all the one second loads?

does the word "loading" every 30 seconds bother anyone else?

Its either for reloading or loading..if its reloading please put that in the corner somewhere Capcom...

Mithos Yggdrasill · (08-23-2007, 12:21 PM)

Uhmm. This game is not so shit after all. It looks at least promising. It's more polished then before. But I'll wait for the reviews, because the gameplay doesn't convince me.

Fuck.

This isn't a simple 30 minutes rail shooter though..

I liked the part where it's dark and you have to use the wiimote as a flashlight.

Pureauthor · (08-23-2007, 12:37 PM)

It might just because this is a demo, but after the HotD games (which are the quintessential zombie shooter games, after all), there's not nearly enough zombies on the screen at a time, and they all move too slow. Otherwise, it looks great. Tighten that up and they should have a worthy purchase on their hands.

SumGamer · (08-23-2007, 12:38 PM)

It's reloading. Only happen when you reload.

Dumb, arent I

I'm sure it will be annoying as hell in Co-Op

This isn't Sega or HOTD. This is Capcom and Resident Evil. And if you haven't noticed, RE games have slow zombies with slow, creepy gameplay.

The zombies in RE can run though..I just reckon its Resident Evil..Resident Evil doesn't throw thousands upon thousands of zombies at you and I expect the same even from a lightgun game. Especially since its like a 5 hour lightgun game.

...Something that is inherently not very well suited to a Lightgun shooter, ya?

Screw the canon. If fast zombies are what's needed to make this a good shooter, than get fast zombies.

the dialogue reminds me of the house of dead, that's the one where "they killed G", right?

If you want next-gen graphics play the HD consoles. :-\

Besides, visuals in this game > 90% of wii games.

Says who? You? You don't have to like slow zombies in an on-rails game, but that doesn't mean slow zombies are bad.

Besides I don't get where this "rails games have to be fast paced" stuff comes from because all of my light gun games are about the same as this if not a little faster. But again it doesn't matter because this is a RE game which is inherently slow and methodical.

Yeeaahhh.... see, in a lightgun game - all you do is shoot. In here, you get to mix it up a little with dodging, apparently, but that doesn't really matter much if you're not in any danger from the zombies, huh?

So, if all you get to do is shoot, the shooting had better cover up a whole lot of the gameplay, because otherwise you're waiting.

Now you're just trolling.

You're repeating what I just said.

Explain to me how, if you're so kind. If you're not going to bother arguing the point, then don't do it.

Gameplay in lightgun games - shooting, unless there's a gimmick for the game such as the Time Crisis series. But that's secondary, and the point of the game is to shoot.

In here, there's one seen gimmick to far (dodging). But if this is meant to be a rail shooter, you're supposed to be shooting a whole lot - because otherwise the enemy hits you, or you run out of time, or whatever.

Slow, lumbering zombies in a rail shooter don't work when trying to convey a sense of threat unless there are impossibly huge numbers of them to gun down - the closest comparison would be HotD 4, but even then the zombies moved plenty fast.

So, the court's in your ball. Explain how slow enemies work in a lightgun shooter.

re uc

dead aim from 2003

and dead aim was an ugly ps2 game for its time!

Pureauthor · (08-23-2007, 01:10 PM)

If you actually think Dead Aim looks better than RE:UC, you are considered legally blind in 17 of the 50 states.

rakka · (08-23-2007, 01:12 PM)

Nice, get the worst possible screen for comparison.

I guess Dead Aim > RE4 too, right?
