Resident Evil Wii

Chrono Grimlock · 09-19-2006, 05:47 PM

"It is unlikely Resident Evil fans will be disappointed with what Capcom has planned for the Wii, with a truly sublime series retrospective being planned, taking scenario, setting and gameplay elements from Evils One, Two, Three and Four.

Resident Evil, as yet without a title leaving fans unsure if this is the true fifth game or simply a Wii sampler of past delights, is split into four chapters with various characters and settings from the series:

Chapter 1: RE1 Mansion - Jill and Chris
Chapter 2: RE2 Raccoon Police Department - Claire and Leon
Chapter 3: RE3 Raccoon City - Jill and Carlos
Chapter 4: RE4 Village - Leon and Ada

Further characters will also come into play in various subplots (in what is promised to be a very open-ended and massive title) including Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker, tantalising glimpses of what to RE fans will be the most exciting game in the series ever.

Slim gameplay details have been released to date, but we can already offer a couple more goodies. Each character will be able to dual-wield, packing two weapons at the same time. Plus, the preferred over-shoulder viewpoint and controls are to remain, hopefully meaning the end of the 'tank' controls that some feel plagued the series for far too long.

The final teaser we have for you is that the whole game will be presented in in-game cutscenes as was the case with Resident Evil 4, a feature that sounds entirely normal until you remember the atmospheric and technically-stunning brilliance Capcom captured in the last game."

I haven't seen on a thread on this yet, if it's here shut this shit down. Anywho, REmake of 2 and 3? Sold, so fucking sold it hurts.

Say Grim, did they ever change the horrible dialogue in REmake?

I wonder why they didn't include 0 or Code: Veronica X. I hope that the first chapter doesn't have as bad an ammo shortage as REmake 1. I never did get very far in that game.

Is that gonna be Resident Evil 5? If it is, then that is a great setting for the game.

Yep that pic is from RE5 (for the PS3 and 360), it's from the little trailer Capcom made that was leaked (I know I have the full trailer around here somewhere). It's also one of the main reasons I'm getting a PS3. RE4 was brilliant.

As for the Wii (which I'm also getting, just so there are no bias clams) that will be getting Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Read more here if ya like: http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3153634

I've only played the REmake, but from what I've heard, yes it was changed. If you don't mind the same old control scheme, I'd recommend picking it up.

If this version isn't scary enough to make me Wii myself I don't want it.

Hohohoh.

yes, that pic was released last year.

Anywho, so looking forward to this, hopefully they cover CV and maybe some of the 'dead aim" story plots and bring it all together nicely.

From Gamezone:

Quote:

Extensive information on the gameplay and content of RE:Wii has surfaced.

-The game consists of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village (plus surrounding areas).
-Each chapter has 2 characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.
-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.
-The gameplay of all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.
-The game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.
-All characters will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.
-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.
-Just like in RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.
-You will be able to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel robots.
-Similar to Devil May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.
-Arcade Mode is like a giant Mercenaries minigame. No puzzles or story, just pick a character and a stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.
-Scenario Mode will feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.
-New content not in the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the rest of the series.
-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.
-Trailer coming at TGS.

Too bad RE 5 is only PS3 (So $600 extra to play RE5)
