Neither does the virus at 90%, so I would wager that most of the main character just "happen" to fall into that 10% rather than an anti-virus being the reason. Considering how much retcon to the plot has been going on, I'm sure if an anti-virus was used on the STARS team it would have been mentioned in one of Wesker's reports.

Wow, back when the original came out they said it followed every horror clece in the book. Now with how far the seres has gone it's become so popular.

Jill and Chris, etc, were already immune by virtue of being badass.

Seriously, though, if you'll look at all the RE games, people who get zombified are either severely chewed up or have a really extended exposure.

Also, Jill becomes immune in the events of RE3.

I am surprised no one has brought up Capcom's, once again, condescending remarks about Wii gamers when discussing UC.

Quote
"At the initial stage of development, Umbrella Chronicles' play system was similar to Resident Evil 4's," producer Masachika Kawata told Famitsu in a video interview. "But, it's extremely difficult on Wii. Too complicated to enjoy. Wii users like easiness. Umbrella Chronicles is not only for game enthusiasts. Complex operability can be an obstacle for Wii users. We want players to enjoy the game's horrifying and creepy world and its thrilling shooting action. By reducing enthusiast-only elements, players can purely enjoy the world."

To achieve this goal, Kawata admits that Capcom "… had to compromise to a lower difficulty level."

Though I don't have the highest estimation of Capcom's current management, I don't think it's as bad as all the Kotaku people were saying. They want this game to appeal to a less "enthusiast" crowd, so they use a system that doesn't involve as many buttons (whether this will actually appeal to people or whether the RE name even has that kind of draw outside the hardcore gaming world is different matter). He really should have at least made one comment on the Resident Evil 4 Wii port, for which Capcom is intentionally targeting a seperate audience. But I guess he's not involved with that.

And I'm sure if the RE4 system worked like gangbusters in RE:UC when they were developing it, they would have kept it.

Someone at Capcom must have thought the RE4 system would work on Wii since they're porting the game so I consider Masachika Kawata's comments highly misguided. When you put a game like Resident Evil on any system, you're catering specifically to people who like those kinds of games, not the broad "Wii user." If you want to make a game for that kind of gamer, then make a game for that kind of gamer. Don't try to use Resident Evil to attract that audience. It's a gamer's series. Make Resident Evil for Resident Evil fans, and if the game is good enough to reach non-RE fans (like RE4 appealed to me), that's how you gain a wider audience, but you're not going to reach "non-game enthusiasts" with a series designed for "game enthusiasts." Those "non-game enthusiasts" have already made clear what they don't like by rejecting games like Resident Evil.

I wonder what Smash_Brother going to have to say about this bit of support from Capcom. UC is a half-assed game.

Uhhhh, reports from Capcom's Gamer Day say that the game was really hard...So either these comments about difficulty are incorrect or gaming journalists need to find a new freaking job...

Much like how all sports journalists need to be able to throw an 80 yard spiral. Or all war journalists need to be able to hit a moving target from 300 yards. Or all weathermen need to be able to make it rain on command.

I'd say that you have a terrible memory because you're still trying to pretend that something is nothing and that nothing is, against all logic, somehow worthy of note and a bit of praise.

You're a half-assed game. A half-assed game who no doubt, has not played RE UC, so shut the hell up.

Resident Evil has a LOT of casual fans, this one could sell a lot just by being easily accessable. I find RE is a great game to play in front of a group (at night in the dark), but nobody else ever wants to actually play, with UC I could just hand over the wiimote and have someone else playing straight away. Then they could buy the game and repeat the process with someone else.

But who cares about other people right? Not "real" gamers! The game being easily playable and accessable SUCKS for the single gamer! Because... because it wont be a challenge! It'll be like Wii Sports, where all you have to do is swing your arms to get all the platinums and do spinning smash winners. Man, this SUCKS! I'm so depressed =\ Why Capcom why =\

Too bad Wii gamers only like simple games, and their heads explode when something utilizes more than two buttons.

I am amazed there isn't more people upset with Capcom's obvious slam to Wii gamers. Everyone freaked when EA said they were they were commenting about MySim's graphical style, yet when Capcom takes a shot at the fans it gets a pass.

Are you sure that's even what's taking place? I mean, consider that this is all translated from Japanese and that it's very easy to misinterpret what Kawata was actually trying to say, given the context. If he was really trying to say "intuitive" instead of "easy", would anyone have a problem with it?

In all seriousness, there is way too much angst among Wii gamers right now. Seriously, people are taking these comments as if the developers were taking a shot at their own personal religious belief.

I don't mind because I KNOW the Wii right now is getting a lot of varied games, from the cute (Dewy's adventure) to the hardcore and mature (Scarface and Manhunt 2). If all the games we were getting were of the cute nature then it would be weird. But right now, fans are freaking out way too much.

It's Capcom.

I'd guess most just don't care.

Yeah that's because you pretend they don't exist, that's how your magic... I mean logic, workers.

I have gathered from this discussion that Terranigma Freak is a game with advance Forum Posting AI and that Pap64 has not yet been fully assimiltated into the Wii collective.

It's hard to complain about an upcoming game that serves up more Becca Chambers.

I'm quite certain that RE5 and DMC4 exist, just that they're being held back until there's a clear winner in the current console wars.

It doesn't make sense to spend $50 million developing a game for a losing console when you could spend $5 million developing a game on the winning one.
