Umbrella Chronicles is looking wonderfully dire.

Why have they done this to a good series?

Ecoris looks interesting, is it some form of RTS with beavers and squirrels?

It does look fantastic, those zombie models are a vast improvement on those early scans we saw. I for one have total faith in Capcom to deliver Wii owners something great, not something comparable with RE5, but something distinct that is only possible on Wii. Anyone who has RE4 on Wii knows how much fun the shooting mechanics are. People who are dismissing this game simply because it is not in the mould of RE4, or RE5- a game that would be totally impossible on Wii* are being stupid. I think they are simply closing their minds to a potentially great game simply because of sour grapes. Capcom have a long history of defining genres with great games, they also innovate in uniquely clever way. RE4 was a great game because of the restrictions of movement they applied to the game, they know how game play hooks work. I think that they will decimate everyones preconcieved ideas about on the rails shooters with innovation and aspects we have not seen before in such games.

* The new unreal engine, or chaos engine cannot run in workable form on Wii full stop. Who can blame Capcom for not wanting the best from their premier title, not real RE fans. RE5 is only going to be the awesome game all RE fans want, and it is only achievable on a high powerd console like 360 and PS3, the Wii just does not cut it, get used to it.

+I hope there is something similar to the mine cart run from RE4 in this game also because for it stands out as being one of the highlights in the Wii version. [LS]

One Peice shots are from DS... not Wii... i dont know if you knew that!?!?

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Apparently its a "real time simulation game".
It inculdes wifi compatibility and custom map builder.

The story line is Dorian (protagonist - the orange dude) decides to help Ecoris and co to defend the Mana forest(do you think square enix will mind the name?). Dorian finds Ecoris injured and finds out that "team mecha mecha" are cutting down the forest. By commanding fairies he must fight to protect the forest.

So its a game where you use various characters to carry around seeds and grow new trees. (of course theres items,enemies and other things to give the game depth)

-----------

This is news to me....those Umbrella chronicle scans have confirmed 2 player coop and the ability to choose from a selection of characters for each scenario. Then it says there will be 3 Weskers in this game (i haven't played RE before so i didn't really get what that means...)

Then it goes on to state the obvious - choice of weapons, hit barrels for them to explode and cause MASSIVE DAMAGE etc.

Still think that capcom could do better, of maybe it's the screenshots?

The textures on the zombies in RE:UC look terrible to me... I suppose you're supposed to be shooting them instead of admiring their shirts, but still...

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society
