- Capcom and Cavia for the game's development

Regulus Tera · Nov 17, 2009

That's my cvxfreak!

ciD_Vain · Nov 17, 2009

I will give myself this game for my birthday. November 17th is a happy day indeed!

jrricky · Nov 17, 2009

why is there no collectors or something extra for the US? Even if it is something free like a soundtrack disk or something?

Wait, Cave? Wasn't it Cavia or am I horrible mistaken?

But very nice thread.

Daigoro · Nov 17, 2009

Cave, huh? the Cave? whats this all about then?

i really want to buy a Wii for these two RE games and Sin and Punishment. maybe this year...

Lol. Yeah its Cavia.

CO_Andy · Nov 17, 2009

Steve's design is and shall forever be a poor man's Leon.

Mega Mike · Nov 17, 2009

The PAL/Japanese boxart is cooler. Though ours is fine too...

Graphics are damn good for a wii game. I would not be surprised if they ported this for natal/wand.

Dat...

Well, not all of them. :lol (Spoilers if you didn't play CV)

SolarPowered · Nov 17, 2009

Nice OP guys. I can't wait to get my hands on this!

I still haven't gotten through RE2 though...school, and all that jazz.

TOFUTOFUTOFUTOFUTOFUTOFU

Man God · Nov 17, 2009

OP should have just been that picture of Claire's butt that got most people "excited" for this game in the first place. :lol

Joking aside, I can't wait until I have enough free time to play this game.

obaidr · Nov 17, 2009

i Hope this gets released on ps3 Next Summer

hermit7 · Nov 17, 2009

Shit!!! I didn't know this was coming out so soon.

Need to get it for some Leon loving

MiniDitka · Nov 17, 2009

XiaNaphryz · Nov 17, 2009

Claire needs to reappear in a mainline game already damnit.

I'll likely pick up this game at some point for her alone.

1138 · Nov 17, 2009

I've already payed for my preorder, so now i just have to wait for the european release on the 27th. I'm actually glad they decided to release it later in europe, because i have 3 exams at my uni next week. This will actually be the first game i've bought for Wii since No More Heroes, so it better be good and have plenty of fanservice.

MiamiWesker · Nov 17, 2009

Nice thread. I will of course get this. I expect a game as good as UC.

GrotesqueBeauty · Nov 17, 2009

Hai gaiz, I herd this wuz the RE hate club thread. Doze ne1 else think code veronica is liek the worstest game evar? Cuz I do.

Not quite a day one game for me, but I look forward to impressions from my fellow gaffers. The enemies in this game look suh-weet and it covers two of my favorite games in the series (although the original mansion incident will always be #1 in my heart).

Evenball · Nov 17, 2009

The video with the zombie tofu's sold me on this game.

A Twisty Fluken · Nov 17, 2009

as someone named steve i heartily endorse any game that involves high quality voiced recreations of code veronica cutscenes.

Haters...? How could anyone hate these games? All Wii games should be like this.

Hey, a zombie shooter by cave would be excellent.

Can't wait, this game looks so awesome =D

why not?should work pretty well with the sony wand...release it for 10$ in PSN and i might bite

LaneDS · Nov 17, 2009

What year does RE4 take place? A new scenario with Leon is pretty damn cool. Is he voiced by the guy that did the RE4 voicework? Please bring campy Leon, and keep cool Leon away, thanks!

Mistouze · Nov 17, 2009

Had lots and lots of fun with a friend playing the first one's coop. This will be mine!

ResidentDante said:

I would say Code Veronica.

Danthrax · Nov 17, 2009

Good OP! Looking forward to playing this, especially since Leon "The Fucking Man" Kennedy is in it.

oh and Hunk. Hunk rocks.

grandjedi6 · Nov 17, 2009

We (NA) totally lost the boxart battle on this one.

Uh, or you could bite on Wii?

... And $10? You're kidding right?

I prefer the JAP/EU version as well, but it's still a decent cover. The composition isn't quite a sharp, but I actually like the color scheme better.

Lyte Edge · Nov 17, 2009

I wasn't sure if I was going to get this, since I have yet to finish Umbrella Chronicles, but I can't pass it up for $35 at Amazon ($44.99-$10 credit from NSMB Wii). Maybe it's time to go on an RE Wiimote gun marathon and go through both games!

obaidr · Nov 17, 2009

Jigsaw said:

30 if retail and 20 if PSN.

Uh, or you could bite on Wii?

Why should I? I just want to play the game, not buy a whole new system. Besides i have no kids and i am not the jump and run guy. I dont see any great (similar) games coming soon for the Wii which would make the purchase worth it.

Deleted member 30609 · Nov 17, 2009

the fact that Krauser is in this game raises its status in my mind from 'not interested' to 'rent'.

(not a fan of light-gun shooters)

Brazil · Nov 17, 2009

This is going to be great.

Bernbaum · Nov 17, 2009

I loved Umbrella Chronicles and I'll love this too.

iamaustrian · Nov 17, 2009

you should have named the thread "Official Resident Evil: The Darside Chronicles Thread of do your begging for a PS3 version somewhere else and GTFO"

why not?should work pretty well with the sony wand...release it for 10$ in PSN and i might bite

a 10$ release on PSN? seriously?

Is the EU boxart confirmed? it looks great. can't wait

edit in rage:

I think iv asked you before but have you played REmake, RE0, Umbrella chronicles or RE4: Wii edition?.

SovanJedi · Nov 17, 2009

Ooooh, edgy thread title. Anyway, yeah I'll investigate this when it's out and if I get through more of my backlog by then.

Because they look badass...

Sipowicz · Nov 17, 2009

i want to play this for the tofu missions

rockman zx · Nov 17, 2009

I can't wait to play this game, to bad that we don't get it till the next week. At least I will have a week to beat ACII.

adamsapple · Nov 17, 2009

first 10 minutes of the game.

Lolz Wii is teh kiddeh/teh waggle/has no games. I missed good ol' trolling, everyone stealth trolls these days. Nice to see someone brave enough to do it in the open.

You should probably be aware that port begging is a bannable offense here on GAF. Mods are tired of that shit, and so are many users (including yours truly), regardless of the platforms involved.

Jigsaw said:

What? $10? Really? What next? Capcom paying customers to play the game?

Are you talking about the Hand Cannons or the game itself? The game is fucking awesome. I hope Headstrong Games develops the HotD series from now on.

EDIT: Nm, you meant the Hand Cannons (I need sleep). I didn't manage to get my hands on one

Rolf NB · Nov 17, 2009

So awesome.
