For Europe a zapper-pack? I remember the Japanese exclusive zapper pack of Umbrella Chronicles.
From our Australian friends at Vooks:

I already have a zapper and two other lightgun thingies, so I hope they're selling standalone copies too.

Don't have a zappershell and I don't want one either. I remember playing UC for the first time at Gameplay '07. I hated that thing.

Boxart looks hot though.

I picked up two cheap-ass Piranha Shooting Guns when Overkill hit for 5 euro each and haven't gone back to the zapper since.

Same here, the austrialian limite edition of HOTDO have 2 nice guns (not varla), much better than the useless wii zapper.

Yeah but I opened a Darkside Chronicles thread NOT a RE5 thread - even the RE5 thread is spoiler tagged so I assumed the same courtesy would be afforded here!

I have a backlog of games right now stretching back over more than 5 months all I'm saying is be considerate and don't assume we all have the time to play these games immediately.
I didn't mean to spoil the game for you, so I apologize for that.
But for your own sake, I urge you not to enter new threads about other games in the series without having played everything up to there: It's only natural that people will discuss previous outings without spoiler tags, especially if they date back a while.

Also, get RE5 out of your backlog. ;p

No, it's not if they respect other users that might still be behind. I still

Ugh, a week after MW2 and Phantasy Star Zero, and the same Day as L4D 2 and Assassin's Creed 2? I'll still pick this up day 1, but lord knows when I'll play it now.

It's not really all that surprising.

Capcom did the Kijuju blog for Resident Evil 5, remember? They're all over stuff like that for game promotion.

Guess you didn't read this choice line:

The pieces are coming together. It's too disturbing. I'll write more later.
 
Looks like we won't be getting much "Ashfor faaaaaaaaaAAAaaamily name.", decent voice acting will suffice I suppose.

And the uncanny valley that was pre-RE5 CGI is gone.:D

I'll enjoy a less whiny Steve too, as long as he doesn't try so hard to look cool when dual-weilding handguns/SMGs.

Just that the marketing campaign for RE5 was brilliantly schemed, with the Experience Kijuju blog and the BSAA Remote Desktop written to tie into the game, whose story was planned in the timeline to take place at the release date. It was an interesting read for the fans. That, coupled with the viral stuff on the official American site made for many, many clicks and a general presence in the minds of gamers.

The Twitter idea here is just trying to jump on the Web 2.0 bandwagon, using minimal resources and effort. It's stupid, that's why people reject it.

That's what I fear, too. I always loved Alfred and his wonky personality. ;(

OH NO! CAPCOM does not respect internet people either. Nor do all the sites that reported the Wesker news! It's a rondo if disrespect!
If you respect other users, you beat your games first before coming to threads months later and demanding everything to be spoiler-tagged.
 
Bumpy double post!

I don't like using the Wii Zapper for light gun games. I'll be sporting the Resident Evil Shot Blaster for The Darkside Chronicles. If you're able to get your hands on one, do so, they're apparently hard to come by and work great for light gun games!

Can someone do me a huge favor and post Leon and Claire's tweets from the last three or so days?

I'm in China and Twitter's blocked. Drats.
 
Leon posted about his sexual frustration and the resulting suicidal tendencies while Claire informed us about her failure to take pantiliners. All in all, a typical day on Twitter!

Interesting... Leon sounds like the main narrator judging from the re-tweets of Steve's stuff.

I can't wait till Steve tweets
his dying moments.
:lol :lol :lol

Thanks rockman!

Got to play this at PAX (and scored the free t-shirt).

Will definitely be picking it up. Maybe not day one, but definitely, nonetheless.
 
Nobody knows what's going on in this village, save for the fact that there's only one survivor -- Manuela, a young girl in a ripped, blood-stained dress. She'll likely play an important role in this mission, but exactly what that'll be remains unknown.
I bet she's the zombie queen or some shit
