Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicals

[Rob]

wow just found major info (for me anyway on Resident evil's game for the wii) the vids with clips of it in. the one on this link is near the end after the hammer game.
article link http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2006/09/15/resident-evil-umbrella-chronicles-announced-by-capcom-for-wii.htm
video link http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2006/09/15/nintendo-wii-games-lineup-video.htm

has lots of obvious clips in one of leon crouching behind a car shooting somesort of pistol and of wesker's face. oooh

so basically
"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.
* 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.
* 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 Wii remote 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 Wii remote in order to get through them.
* All characters will have melee 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, where you pick a character and 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 in-game cutscenes.
* Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it’s not just constant action like RE4.
* The picture at the start (above) shows the player is able to destroy certain doors by blowing them up."

[Fr@nk$t@]

Thanks Sparky for the trailer/preview, I think I might buy this game when it comes out.

[alibombaye]

WoW this looks fantastic... I'm playing Resident Evil 4 and its fantastic.. quick question is this gonna be like time crisis where you have no control over the player movement and just the shooting or will some level of contol be provided?

[eric]

as far as i know player has no control of movement, just shooting.

[Fr@nk$t@]

Yeah I heard it is a on-rails shooter.

[ben93]

it it but youll be able to choose different routes throughout the game, for example if you have the shotgun you may be able to blast down a door and follow tht route

[col]

Loads of screenshots of this just released.

Approximate prices are.........

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles launches across Europe for Wii on 30 November 2007 for the estimated retail price of around £33 / €50. It is also compatible with the Wii Zapper from Nintendo which is available across Europe on 7th December for the estimated retail price of around £20 / €30 and comes bundled with Link’s Crossbow Training.


More can be found if you clicky me (http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/en/GB/news/article.do?elementId=MGFcbavBQ470M6Fvu2w5eNcsPxacV JDo)


I was under the impression the zapper would be bundled with RE:UC, but it looks like we may have to wait a tad longer, :(

[thelocaluk]

Hmmmmm I was hoping for a wapper bundle for this game, I'll wait a while and see what happens with this...I still have to finish RE4 first:D

[D.Fr@nk$t@]

Boo im going to have to buy both the link game to get the zapper and this game, also just wanted know if its co-op???

i've completed resi4 it was a great game how far are you in it local???

[ben93]

isnt medal of honor heroes 2 coming with the zapper?

[D.Fr@nk$t@]

dont know ben its probably only coming with a nintendo game

[eric]

isnt medal of honor heroes 2 coming with the zapper?

That would be "link's crossbow training". No clue if MoH is coming out with one.

[ben93]

i could have sworn they mentioned it at E3

[D.Fr@nk$t@]

[londonjohn]

london

[D.Fr@nk$t@]

me and pete have been playing this game in co-op and it is fantastic. but one problem when playing with the zapper is when you need to dodge suddenly when using the A button is difficult as it is in a unusally place.

[Junior]

So whats your rating of it. May put it on my wish list.

[Wii Spark]

me and pete have been playing this game in co-op and it is fantastic. but one problem when playing with the zapper is when you need to dodge suddenly when using the A button is difficult as it is in a unusally place.

Have you reconfigured the controller options to use the Zapper instead of the remote on it's own?

It's under settings, :D

But you have to reload by holding the nunchuck, because you have to shake it to reload you can't put it into the zapper. I think they may have got this option slightly wrong.

[quote=Wii Spark;38769]Have you reconfigured the controller options to use the Zapper instead of the remote on it's own?

[Junior]

[ben93]

[Junior]

Gosh you say to Dave and I that your level 8 in English.

Let's re-say that again.

No it's not a sequal.

The sequal to Resident Evil 4 has a new title called Resident Evil 5(not a totally new title as the change the four to five) but won't be released on the wii.

[ben93]

junior thts a load of long drawn out bs, my way was much snappier and to the point. and you spelt sequel wrong

[Junior]

Ok let's re-type your post so we can understand better.

Junior that's bs. My way was much easier to get to the point. Also you have spelled sequel wrong.

Ben here are some tips:
.Capital letters after full stop's
.Your need to work on your grammar.
. Never start sentences with And.
.Names always begin with a capital letter.

The thing is I can understand you Ben, but some others can't. I speak Internet slang mostly just on Bebo and msn with my friends. Not here with older people.

Try and not speak slang around here.

Lol and most people won't think your ways are quicker to read.


Back to the topic so this has good fully compatible with the wii Zapper?

what should I get Ghost squad or this?

Heh, common misconception. And is acceptable in some situations. Also, it's spelt grammar, not grammer ;).
.Names are always begin with a capital letter.
Names should always being with a capital letter you mean?

My message: Don't criticise others on what you lack too.
