Title: Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: Mario on August 24, 2005, 12:19:00 AM
Resident Evil Deadly Silence has been announced for Nintendo DS!

Official Site

It looks AWESOME! There's lots of cool looking features in those scans, I see first person knife slashing, touch screen puzzles, and uh, other neat stuff. Some parts I recognise from Resident Evil 1. That screen with the blood all over the screen looks cool, i'm guessing you have to wipe it off with the touch screen. Can't wait to hear more about this!

before i clicked i figured it was going to be some stupid fake screenshots, but that is pretty convincing.  Although the graphics remind me of doom on pc.  I think it needs some workin.  I also really hope controls are tight, i would hate for this game to have $hitty controls and graphics.  I could deal with $hitty graphics if gameplay and controls are solid.

The graphics look fine, it'll look good when you're playing it, apparently it has "the playability of Biohazard 4" with fully 3D backgrounds.

Yeah - handheld games never quite look right when they are blown up and printed (with a lovely grainy finish) in magazines and then scanned.

Hey, wasn't this rumored a few months ago?
Title: RE: Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: darknight06 on August 24, 2005, 03:05:44 AM
Yes, it was.  I also wonder if this the game Capcom was rumored to be using DivX on.

Hopefully there's enough new stuff to be worth buying Resident Evil 1 AGAIN...

I dont like the fixed camera view on the pics
First person view look cool thu, if only you could play the whole game in that view

Remember also, that DS games tend to look jagged in still shots (but almost always look great in motion). I've been looking forward to a Resident Evil on the DS game since the system's launch. I was actually hoping for a DS enhanced port of RE2, but "Deadly Silence" will satisfy me as well. This was my anticipated unannounced title.

I bought my DS the day it launched. Up until yesterday I was very underwhelmed by the system and began questioning whether or not I should buy a PSP. I don't want to say that I was regretting my purchase, but I hadn't touched it since May.

It seems like the DS library has gone from being stale to incredibly exciting almost overnight. There are so many interesting and unique titles due to come out over the next few months that I finally feel that my DS was worth buying. For those that haven't picked it up yet - Advance Wars: Dual Strike will own you. Then the Nintendogs will overpower you with their cuteness. Resistance is futile!

I played Kirby at a DS demo kiosk a few weeks ago. It was fun, but not something that I would want to buy.

Resident Evil again? I love all the games my DS is getting and I thank capcom for the support but I think I'll pass on this one. REmake is the only version I want to remember.  The are other franchisees I want capcom to make for my DS (StreetFighter please). Maybe like Bill says, if they can make it unique enough the maybe.
Title: RE:Resident Evil DS (first pics!)

If you look at the scans scaled down to 50% - the screen shots look much better (putting it more or less at the actual size of the DS' screens).

Anyways - it looks good, but the zombies all seem to look identical. I hope they will offer a little variety in the final version.

Also, the old fashioned phonograph looks oddly similar to the turntable used in Nintendogs to record transmittable voice messages for "Bark Mode". I wonder if something similar will come into play for RE: DS' Wi-Fi connectivity. Maybe you can record a cry for help and then someone will come in and help you kill some zombie scum?

Not to mention Meteos.

I agree its always sad to see a great new innovative game put down. I wonder if Capcom puts some multiplayer in this sucker perhaps a better resident evil outbreak type of multiplayer with Wi-Fi, hell just to make it better you can just map the invatory on the touch screen since it takes forever to take something in the invatory on the PS2 while everything is happening in real time.

Yeah I've had my DS since launch day too, and if it wasn't for Meteos and some GBA games i might still be on the first recharge of the batteries! okay that might be a bit overexaggerating but still.  I swear Meteos has made me have to recharge my batteries so many times, I'm glad you can play Meteos and hook up the charger while you play.

What about World Championship Poker? =P

===
Hrm...RE on the DS = Cool!

However, being as this is the...4th time this particular game has been remade? Not so Cool.

I mean, I -just- bought it on my GC for crying out loud.

This... doesn't look interesting.  I'll stick to the console games, as I have no desire to play the handheld port of a game I've beaten too many times to count.  How about that Megamen though?
Title: RE:Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 24, 2005, 10:21:25 AM
Well Leon it can be a cool idea since Capcom can make new gameplay elements with the DS hell if they wanted they could get a multiplayer component like I mentioned above. Or how about a S.T.A.R.S. vs Infected Zombies  multiplayer type of game? Kind of like a Spies vs. Mercenaries type of thing how each team has its own  goal to do.

I had the same thought.  

That would make for some awesome multplayer.

But playing as a zombie would ultimately end in the player using strategy to overcome his opponents...Everyone knows that a zombie only follows rudimentary "instinct" to stalk its prey...

If the "zombies" could act more like RE4 "zombies" during multiplayer I think it could make for a very interesting deathmatch gameplay.  
Title: RE: Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 24, 2005, 01:06:42 PM
But this isn't RE4, it's RE1...
Title: RE: Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 24, 2005, 02:54:56 PM
I dunno about you, but it doesn't seem like a Port...but another Remake and that is ok.

I think Resident Evil had the best story, and the most interesting enviroment of the Resident Evil games...you were trapped in a hell house...and while you are there you just find out its worse than you ever imagined.  Very cool.  

With additions like touch screen puzzles, first person elements, and the ability to play Resident Evil portable which is very cool...I think this will sell well and be a nice addition to the DS library.

they could be replaced with chinese zombies which jump around
instead of killing them, you have to place seals on them O.o

You make that sound like the PSP is any better off.

Even though I was thinking it, I would have never bought a PSP. The library consists mainly of UMB Movies. I have a portable DVD player for that (with a screen that it is larger than what the PSP has to offer). The few games that are available for the system don't impress me. Unless the price drops down to at least $179.99 and they release at least one must-have title, I won't be purchasing a PSP anytime soon.

It's funny - the only time I see people with PSPs out in public they are never playing games - only movies. The only time I have seen anyone with a DS in public they were playing a GBA game on it.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike has been keeping me very busy during my bus & train commute to and from work all week. People have been looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing. I have a feeling this might be their first time being exposed to a DS.

---

Anyways - to get back on topic here...

I realize that the DS and the N64 are quite different, but it seems that N64 code is at least partially compatible with the DS', making ports of N64 games tedious but entirely possible. With that said, wouldn't it be easier for Capcom to use the code from the N64 version of RE2 and then rework it for the DS rather than redo RE1 from scratch?

It still doesn't sound interesting.  More of a gimmick.  I usually don't buy games for the gimmicks.  I already own Resident Evil for GameCube, and even for PlayStation.  I'm not going to waste another sum of money on a few added elements; which for that matter don't really add to the game at all.

Yes, they are vampires.

Eh? I just toasted the jumping chinese undead with the fireflower. How does one use seals in Super Mario Land?
Title: RE: Resident Evil DS (first pics!)
Post by: Myxtika1 Azn on September 01, 2005, 08:01:48 PM
That isn't a fireflower that you used, it was a Power Ball or something like that. Maybe the ball has been enchanted with some ultra-supreme power or something? I have no idea.  I remember that when I ran into them on SML, I thought to myself, they have vampires in here too?  Cool!  So, um, yeah, they're vampires.
