CODE: Veronica trailer coming up :D

Can't wait to see how Steve turns out, model-wise. I expect Chris to be lifted from REmake/UC.

I'm more interested in how they're going to pull off the Ashfords, it was nice to hear Alexia's voice again after it's been soooo soooo long.

I just replayed all the games not too long ago before RE5 came out and Code Veronica is DEF the meatiest of the RE stories, giving you a LOT more character and depth. I wish if they remade the other ones that they would flesh them out a bit more too.

Steve's voice was annoying CVX...but so was Steve ;p.

A game like this would be awesome with trophys.

I didn't see that in the trailer. Alexia?

Steve looks really retarded, does anyone else feel the same? Not a fan of his VA too.

So, err, they are releasing a more "fuller" trailer at E3, right? Also, does anyone know if they ever explained the "cover" system that they said they would explain at Captivate?

So it's accurate then.

I honestly think I'll have much more fun with this game than the first if only because I won't have to put up with the horribly uninspired Zero levels and I love the two games in the sequel. Wesker's zero levels were pretty decent but it's Wesker.

Just watching the trailers for DSC makes it look so much more exciting than Umbrella Chronicles....it just looks so much more faster paced.

We recently went back to UC and were really amazed to find how slow it was.

It looked kind of grainy. Maye that was intentional....either way it looks good but somehow not up to par with the RE2 scenario

Oh and Steve looks/sounds great, though I kinda miss whinny voice Steve...oh well.

My partner got some time with the game at E3, his full write up @ http://www.bingegamer.net/2009/e3-2009-hands-on-resident-evil-the-darkside-chronicles/

Anyways, the game looks pretty damn good for a Wii game and works as an excellent reimagining of both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Although, in part of our discussion with Capcom that sadly wasn’t filmed, it was pretty much confirmed to us that this is as close to a REmake-style reminagining of Resident Evil 2 as we’re going to see for a while. Which bummed me.

We couldn’t get a straight number out of Capcom regarding number of stages and missions, but we do know that many characters from the franchise will be making appearances in Darkside Chronicles, including very familiar faces like Ada Wong and Albert Wesker.

video he put up on youtube (he was with that Dante guy from WCG's Ultimate Gamer tv show on Sci-Fi)

That Alexia picture is strange. While I like the new design, what the hell are those white things around her shoulders =/

Alfred looks perfect, a little more masculine even. Wonder how his VA will sound. =P

Yeah, but for me it was in a sad way given what happened to him

This is the first Wii game I genuinely cannot wait to play!

Alexia's and Alfred's models are quite impressive, definatly a big step up from Umbrella Chronicles. I just hope they continue to give us unlockable missions with the supporting cast, especially for Wesker, Alfred, and HUNK. I also hope they allow us to lead the HCF assualt on Rockfort island.

That's the Alfrexia fight on the attic of the private residence, I think.

This has to be one of the best looking Wii games. Why oh why can't it be a third-person RE?

because then the Wii wouldn't have enough lightgun games on the horizon (not being sarcastic)
 
Is it actually confirmed that Cavia is making this game? Because, well, it's Cavia. They made the first RE: Umbrella Chronicles game. I think their best title so far has been Bullet Witch, and if you've played that game you know which high "quality" it was. And, well, that was their best so far. :lol
