Support NeoGAF

[Rush2thestart]

I love railshooters/lightgun games/ guided first person experiences. I just hope this turns out good. Out of all the railshooters I've played, Umbrella Chronicles was definitely was the weakest. It just felt so boring. Though, I do see that game as a test...and this is the REAL game we're getting. And this game will probably sell too.

I played House of the Dead Overkill and Dead Space Extraction earlier this year, and they were fantastic games, which I'd like to see do well. Last I heard, Overkill was on track outsell 2 and 3 returns (1 million), but it looks like Extraction completely bombed. Such a damn shame too, because it was fantastic! Unfortunately, it seems Dead Space Extraction was a test and EA will probably be cutting mature-oriented support from the platform.

I have no doubt that Darkside Chronicles will sell though. It seems this time, Capcom deserves it.

This one is actually the only game I have pre-ordered right now.

Can't wait.

What?

I only heard it performed well in Europe and it kind of underperformed in America.

Particularly, those who disliked UC's zombie reactions, fixed-pace gameplay, difficulty with head shots, and inconsistent visuals will find their complaints addressed.

Woot.

It might be the end of RE Chronicles, but there's still hope for:

- Onimusha Chronicles
- Dino Crisis Chronicles
- Devil May Cry Chronicles

DMC Chronicles would probably be a lot more arcadey than UC/DSC, and perhaps more fitting for the genre...

- Onimusha Chronicles

That has no zombies, demons or awesome bosses.

Yeah it underperformed in America at first, but I guess the sales picked up after they dropped the price. Don't remember where I heard it from though: an NPD insider or a Sega interview.

I do know for a fact that Sega themselves said the game was profitable, so it was a success.

Tempted to go and I don't even own a Wii. I wonder how tough the trivia might be.

With the right ocular disease and background music playing over it, it could be just as close!

 

[EatChildren]

So hows the framerate looking at this point?

The latest reports say "pretty good".

 

[Dead Man Typing]

After playing Dead Space Extraction, I am more hyped than ever for this game. It can't come out soon enough.

two disc soundtrack?

 

[Gospel]

I haven't been following this game, who are the composers again?

I'm pretty sure Takada and Fukuda aren't involved, right?

edit: So it's Uchiyama and some dude i've never heard of. After playing PN03, at least I know it'll be atmospheric.

I love that box art. It makes me cringe at the thought of what it might be like in the US.

Why would I wanna rebuy those games when NSMB Wii comes out that day?

Spoiler

Not buying. Really!

Collector's Package pre-ordered on Amazon JP!

I wish they had used the awesome, jackass Leon from RE4 instead of the dull, stoic Leon from Degeneration.

...Leon was dull and stoic in RE4. He had a few cheesy one-liners though.

Leon was awesome in RE4

 

[Host Samurai]

Leon was awesome in RE4

Hell yea he was awesome. Leon kicks ass and is in the best RE's RE2 and 4.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Leon was awesome in RE4

In what way now? He was Stoic generic bad ass archetype with some really awful one lines once in a blue moon.

So fyi, Capcom's spendin' some money on this one.

OOH campaign must have started today, I saw a bunch of subway 1-sheets in NYC on my ride home.

Couldnt take a pic, but it's a cute girl sitting on her couch using the Wii Zapper to shoot at a zombie on the livingroom TV. Her boyfriend evidently has since turned INTO a zombie and decided he was hungry, as he's sitting next to her on said couch about to jump on her for a snack, holding a wii mote (wrist strap is on!). This is what happens when girls play games... no one cooks! Guys gotta eat.

Oddly enough... the girl has a stupid grin on her face.

The tagline is "Let your darkside out" or something like that

this looks absolutly kick ass. LOL at the people who said it looks like on dreamcast.

The launch trailer:

Great trailer, but did anyone else notice...

Spoiler

that Alexia transforms into her first form when she fights Chris and Claire at the end of the game. Maybe they have cut her encounter with Wesker in the mansion replica. I know the scene was cheesy, but it was my favorite scene in CVX, and if its gone im going to be disappointed.

I may be lttp but does this game offer online leaderboards *points at Wifi logo at box*?

Yes it does!

 

[brandonh83]

Damn. I haven't purchased a Wii game since Mario Galaxy two years ago, and suddenly this month I'm getting two. :lol

 

[iamaustrian]

Yes it does!

hell yeah

 

[NintendosBooger]

After UC, Capcom would be hard-pressed to get me to purchase this one.

I've seen the pics and videos, and I've yet to see how DC is a significant improvement over its predecessor.

I don't think that's what occurred.

Spoiler

Normal Alexia is shown, but then the editing work next shows Leon and Claire, before showing mutated Alexia.

I rewatched the trailer, and it looks like what you said is true. It seems like the game will have high quality CG sequences this time, so it would be a shame if they had cut the scene.

Crap, I keep forgetting this game exists. I don't have the cash!!! Yet I want it so bad.

Goddamnit, that shit was real! LEON S. KENNEY, LIVES!

Wait, now I'm confused. WTF?

That was him the whole time?

Spoiler

and I see no fish..

People need to reconnect their Dreamcasts I guess (if they ever owned one).

Xbox was part of the same gen as Dreamcast. The point stands.

 

[Wark]

Collector's Edition

Looks nice.

 

[TAJ]

Looks nice.

I'm not a fan of the headshot collage school of poster/package design, but I still like it.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Xbox was part of the same gen as Dreamcast. The point stands.

It was? XBox was released like 3 years later. I think DC wasn't even in production anymore at the time XBox was released. That and the fact that XBox had distinct technical advancements over DC.

DC was a strange beast in the sense that it was released in-between gens (PS/N64 - PS2/Cube/XBox). The premise of PS2 was what held back DC imo (among other things of course).

So I think the point does not stand.

On topic: Nice trailer .
