- The Bio Hazard series on Wii is NOT a side story game, it is a main stream series game
- Story is straight after Code Veronica (so Code Veronica -> BH Wii -> BH4 -> BH5)
- 3 main characters
- Jill is confirmed, 2 others still not confirmed
- Rumours is that Wesker is the other unconfirmed character
- Game system follows BH4
thanx mutsu
Wasnt this a compilation os sorts? If this is a real, actual RE game then Im all for it. The compilation thingie never impressed me to be honest.

So now this info completely contradicts all the info we had. The only video footage we do have is of the RE1 mansion which doesn't fit with this new info... I don't even think Capcom knows what this game is about yet.
Anything can happen, they scrap games like nothing at Capcom so who knows. But as of now the only real piece of info we have is the video which is of the mansion.

No. It was said to be like the Mercenaries-Mode in RE4 with 4 Locations from RE 1,2,3 and 4 and their respective Characters.
I want a new RE. I reeally want a new RE done in the style of RE4. I reeally reeally want a new RE done in the style of RE4 where I'm killing actual old-school zombies. And I'd kill somebody, in front of their own mama, for a game that is all of that and lets me play at Jill while doing so.
But... I REALLY don't want that game on the Wii, unless I can use the GameCube controller to play it. I love my Wii, please don't misunderstand, but I just do not want the game to be "fitted" into the Wiimote + nunchuck control scheme.

Why would they need to be fitted when they don't require that many buttons to begin with? That and the fact that aiming is a thousand times better...

I'm stoked to play Resident Evil, RE4 style, with the Wii controller. I think it'll be amazing and will only make it better. That and the fact that it'll shed more light on what happened to Umbrella and MAYBE even where RE5 is headed... awesome stuff.

This is GREAT news.
I was expecting another Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble or Onimusha Blade Warriors.
Only on GAF.

Why? I can hardly think of a shooting system better suited to the controller. The Wii falls short when you need rapid "mouselook"-type turning, but for something like RE4 where you're largely aiming within your existing frame of vision, it seems absolutely perfect. They'd have to change almost nothing, and you'd gain accuracy.shidoshi said:
BocoDragon said:
Huh? While the Wiimote + nunchuck can provide most of the buttons and needed joysticks and whatnot of a standard controller, the fact that you have two separate pieces versus one joined unit means that there is a different. For example, the QTEs in RE4. With a Gamecube controller, I can still hold onto the controller with my left hand, set the right side of the controller against my leg, and go crazy on the A button. That can't be done with the Wiimote, because the moment I put it down, there's nothing holding it in place. I know some want to say that the Wiimote + nunchuck can do EVERYTHING a regular controller can, but it can't.
Plus, I have this deep down feeling that we're going to get gun aiming by pointing the Wiimote around. You might want that, but I don't.

I have to say that Angel Studios did an.... AMAZING job on the port of RE2 on the n64.
Sure the videos are compressed to hell, but they still looked ok... and all that on one cartridge. I was hoping to see more RE on n64 ... but it got transfered to the cube.

yep, can't praise it enough. two cds to one cartridge and all that really was lost was video quality (of which there aren't many). they added a bunch of cool extras too.The Bookerman said:
i was really disapointed when the version of RE2 that got ported to the cube was just the ps-one original and not the n64 version, and i still hold out utterly CRAZY hope for the n64 version to show up on the wii's virtual console.

Oh yeah I'd really rather have button mashing QTE than wiimote shooting.

**** yeah. I'm happy. Being remotely associated with code veronica (except for that leonardo dicaprio) is all good. Since it's a main game and not some shooter shit, I'm ****in ecstatic. WOOT and WROT!
Edit: Screw the QTEs. Maybe they'll drop QTEs as we know it or find another way. The best QTEs required quick movements. Motions would be better and probably easier. A motion would be more intuitive. Basically, the QTEs just revolved around you recognizing the different colors (for GCN version) and getting your mind to associate that with a button press. If the QTE's demonstrated anything, is that Capcom had decent understanding of how it added slightly more depth to the gameplay, more anxiety and that's all they need for the Wii controller. Now, you'll be swinging down or to the side. Hell, with the GCN, usually, you effectively only had two choices. A+B or R+L. Capcom can still do that and add motion. It doesn't even require too much sensitivity. This will be perfect. Give me a few shotguns, a couple of rifles, some handguns. Oh man, I hope they put their all into it.
BocoDragon said:
So why am I not allowed to have my own opinion on this?
fresquito said:
I'm not absolutely saying that I MUST have button-mashing QTEs, my point was simply that the Wiimote + Nunchuck simply cannot do everything a regular controller can do, no matter what some might say. (Obviously a regular controller can't do everything the Wiimote + Nunchuck can do, of course.)

you are. i think it was just that bit about 'fitting' the control scheme to the wii that threw people. it already is a perfect fit.shidoshi said:
chespace said:
Yeah, I think my opinion of RE4 was doomed from the start because of this. When they decided to yada yada yada that part of the story, I was pretty peeved. After 4 games, it looked like the story was going to be taken to Umbrella's surely awesome home turf, and the end of CV set the wheels in motion, and yada yada yada HEY LOOK RE4!
RE4 was more of a side-story than CV was, damnit.

I didn't mean to insult. I mean: you're probably not alone in your thinking on this board. I've been seeing "please don't use game X with Wiimote" for a year and a half now, GAF in particular...shidoshi said:

i pity you for not being able to fully enjoy RE4.White Man said:
shidoshi... you're confusing two things. you're confusing whether or not you'll prefer the control method on the cube to the one on the wii with whether or not the controls 'fit' on the wii. you are fully allowed to feel that they won't be as good, but it's true to say that they will translate perfectly (personal preferences aside).
it's not a case of it needing more buttons or analogue sticks than the wii has. if any game translates perfectly it's RE4. that doesn't mean it's better or worse, that just means that the controls don't need to be 'fitted' to the system. that's all i'm saying.

did you not like the escorting on principal (ie you don't want to have to spend time looking after someone else) or because you felt it wasn't well done?White Man said:
i often don't like escort missions, but i'd always hold up re4 as an example of it done right.

I like the game of RE4, but White is right about the story.
It will be worth it if they bring Umbrella back and tie it in with the Las Plagas storyline.

'Help me, Leon.'
'Hey, where are you going?'
Who wishes they gave Ashley a mode where you can just accidentally shoot her a few times and her health regenerates? I think I killed her in every possible way. Her and the merchant. I was glad when the wall sucked her up and I could explore the castle by myself. That and when the bugs grabbed her, I was completely happy. White man, if you didn't get to the island and last parts of the castle, you missed out. Wesker's 2 fights alone are worth the price of admission.

First, Capcom never clearly stated that Umbrella Chronicles was going to be a compilation. They did say however that "the new Resident Evil game for the console will combine the series intense gaming experience and atmosphere with the revolutionary control system of the Wii".
Even though we are talking about a Resident Evil game, I think we will end up with a game that solely use the Resident Evil 4 engine, with a strong story and good gameplay, but the game won't be as polished as a "standard RE game". Remember, they are focusing on Resident Evil 5, so we will end up with something similar to REØ (a game that never changed basically, except that it was graphicly updated for GCN) - meaning it won't change that much. It might even come out before RE5, as an apetizer for people expecting the latest instalment of the series...

We should have lunch next week and talk about this, because yeah, RE4 was great but it wasn't Resident Evil, dammit. The lore was totally missing, and the only thing that made it RE were Leon, and the cameos from Ada and Wesker.
Lame.

RE4 controls scream wii.
I was hoping for the compilation of old REs with new graphics, but I'm happy this way too.

I don't know I found that RE4 story added a lot to the overall plot. I was disappointed that the whole Umbrella story was summed up so quickly but the main villian is still around, Wesker. RE4 is more about Wesker and Ada than any of the Las Plagas filler, it sets the stage for what the series will be about from now on, stopping Wesker.
I'm fully behind the concept of an RE4 molded game with Wii controls. There's literally nothing that would actually ruin the RE4 experience unless you hate the Wii remote in general.
Leon's QTE moments can also be done in a rather slick fashion using the Wii Remote, and Capcom would only need to take a few cues from Wario Ware to successfully pull that off.
White Man, if you have the PS2 RE4 and a PS3 I'll be happy to send you a save file with Ashley's armor suit unlocked, so you literally don't have to worry about her at all.

I can see Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicle being a new game. Yes, the previous game information had the game to be a compilation of Previous Resident Evil, but who is to say that Capcom wouldn't scrap the game and start over. Capcom sees how the Wii is taking off around the world, and they would make more money with an original game then with just a compilation type game.
