I would love if they made the original RE4 idea but with the new engine. Zombies should still be in there, but coupled with the supernatural, it could allow for many interesting possibilities.

Yeah, more Wii Remote melee could play into the close-quarters setting, as opposed to COSTCO AMMO SALE SHOP TILL YOU DROP neverending small arms combat.

OK, so the new IGN podcast suggests that Matt and Bozon know what game Capcom is talking about. I didn't hear it but apparently they said "don't get your hopes up", supposedly confirming what gamers have suspected for a while now; its not something that will make gamers "very, very happy".

Of course, this is what they said. Can anyone confirm this?

Famitsu - 3/13

New:

Atelier Rorona [PS3]
Biohazard - Dark Side Chronicles [Wii]
Adventure Island [Wii]
Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute [DS]

... Sequel to Umbrella Chronicles is what it sounds like.

Apparently IGN knows. Matt dropped a hint by saying MARK Bozon. (?)

Dark Side Chronicles...having the word Chronicles in it makes me think of Umbrella Chronicles. I will be frustrated if it is a new rail shooter. Extraction, Overkill and UC are enough for me to choose from.

This is the "MEH" that was heard around the world...

But they deserve to be angry, especially after being told that they will be "very, very happy."

What a crock, and nobody got fooled this time. The only people that would defend something like this are the third party advocates who will no doubt claim "it's better than nothing." Why even keep up the pretense?

I'm a 3rd party advocate and I won't say it's better than nothing.
But I'll still hang on and hope for more until the official announcement comes in the next few days.

The question is, is it a rail shooter?

or excerpts from the old games played RE4 style?

I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THE "VERY, VERY HAPPY"

Meh...whatever. I wouldn't mind a sequel to Umbrella Chronicles, but I'm really sick of Capcom just using its Wii fanbase to pay for its PS3/360 projects.

This doesn't disappoint me like Dead Space on Rails. I'm use to stupid tests and disappointments from Capcom.

First, what does Nintendo have to do with anything?

Second, keep looking or stop searching all together.

See, I wouldn't mind an UC sequel, especially if it added the missing RE chapters, balanced the difficulty and polished the gameplay. The first one was much better than expected and deserved more credit.

The problem with this announcement is that it came right after the Dead Space fiasco and fans are rather sore. Not to mention that after "Overkill" it does tip the scale.

Everyone should learn to make hype inducing comments because it will destroy the impact of the announcement. Fans are prone to setting their expectations high. If you feed them it will just be devastating.

You basically just said you wouldn't mind a UC sequel if it was a better game than the original. Well, of course you do. Who wants a sequel to be worse than the original?

I'd prefer forgoing the missing chapters in favor of a completely original storyline. One of the problems with UC was sucked knowing what was going to happen plot wise, besides the final chapter, of course.

The fans are not to be blamed here. They didn't force Capcom to tell everybody that their new top secret Wii game will make everybody "very very happy." Fans do what fans do. Tell them to expect good things, and they do. When they get hoodwinked, their wrath is Capcom's fault, not theirs.

Read what I said after that comment.

I said that fans already tend to have high expectations for any game announcements, and Capcom feeding them was not helping it.

I do agree that this is Capcom's fault because no one can tell if a game will make gamers happy or not.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #92 on:** March 11, 2009, 02:08:50 AM »

Apparently there are scans online somewhere...

edit: Ah, here it is. RE2 based. http://wiieveryday.blogspot.com/2009/03/famitsu-20090313.html

I'm guessing RE2, Code Veronica, RE4, and a Leadup to RE5 as the four chapters.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #93 on:** March 11, 2009, 02:51:30 AM »

If it has a lead up to RE5 then there better be a Resident Evil 5: Wii Edition to follow.

& that Wii Edition better not be an On-Rails Shooter.

You can bet anything there will be. Not because of fairness but because Capcom loves squeezing every cent out of their games, even if they have to mutilate it.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #95 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:08:26 AM »

Well it isn't a port like some were saying. Personally I don't mind that much because I enjoyed UC, and ::gasp:: others do too so while it may not be a great or good announcement I still will purchase it because I had a good time with the first game. Personally I think most video game fans are idiots and I have virtually no respect for the group as a whole (As proven by the advent of online voice chat). They are the biggest whiners, and complainers around even when things are not that bad. So I tend not to feel sorry for them when their fluffy bunnies they made up in their head are turned into rabbit burgers, it is called taking responsibility for your actions.

Also is Deg the new Ian? That is scary, he is even catching the repetition syndrome!

For those so mad, I sure hope you are getting Madworld tomorrow, because that is a STELLAR 3rd party game. But I have a feeling like other great Wii 3rd party games people will ignore them and continue complaining about why 3rd parties aren't releasing more traditional games. Gee I wonder why.

Stratos · « **Reply #96 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:25:44 AM »

Speaking of Ian, I haven't seen him the last couple days.

On the scan, it does seem to be a new rail-shooter. It will be interesting if it explores the lead up to RE 5. It is a bit disappointing though. I hope it is longer than the first one.

I'll admit it is disappointing but since I did enjoy the first game I am still interested in picking this up. We have to realize one thing, UC sold AMAZINGLY well on Wii, and overall it was pretty well received, so you can't blame Capcom for creating a new game in the series like any successful spinoff. Also while it does appear to be on-rails no one knows for sure. It seems odd that Capcom would allow Famitsu break the news so early before their conference.

Anyway, if it is a follow up to UC, I hope they spend more time tweaking the visuals which sometimes felt rushed in the original. They also may want to build more exploration into it. UC is a great template to build something on because it, regardless of how disappointed the fans were of the genre, actually made some pretty big innovations to the genre.

Stratos · « **Reply #98 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:39:10 AM »

I hope that they speed it up a bit since the last one seemed to play slower. Exploration to some degree would be nice as well.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #99 on:** March 11, 2009, 08:37:38 AM »

Well I'm happy about this. I enjoyed the first.
