Also, IGN confirms this news as well.

So, there you have it, an official confirmation that Umbrella Chronicles is going to suck.

So basically, its a Gun Survivor.

Was there ever any doubt? It's developed by a low-tier Capcom dev team to make some quick cash, like so many third-party games on Nintendo systems.

It's because it costs more to make the advanced graphics and whatnot that we see in 360 and PS3 games. Since they cost more, these companies are more careful to make that investment worthwhile - so they put their best dev teams and ideas on the more costly projects. A game developed for 360 or PS3 can also be ported to the other one easily, decreasin risk even more... whereas a game that can take advantage of what the Wii has to offer pretty much has to be exclusive.

This will hopefully change as the Wii's penetration and success become more apparent. We shall see.

Another scan.

At least the graphics are good. The best scene on Wii, yet, the Gamecube could handle the same. . .

We will never see much on the Wii that the Gamecube couldn't handle, graphics-wise. It's time for people to accept that.

It's not a port. It just goes through all the games; Zero through 4.

Meh, i'll still end up getting it. Oh and what about this RE4 remake on the Wii? I hear its coming out 5/31. Is this true or is it an April Fools joke? Im really hoping its true. RE4 was my favorite in the series. I know i'll be gettting it when it comes out. Prolly first day also.

I'm not sure, but discussion on RE4: Wii Edition goes here.

LOl, another reason to sell the Wii I guess...

Umbrella Chroniucles looks like a cheap zombie rip off of FF.

So it basically looks like a Wii version of those crappy Gun Survivor spin-offs. Lame.

Makes sense, though, considering the Wiimote pretty much acts as an advanced light-gun when it comes to first-person shooters.

So Wii owners have to live in the mud again.

Ahh Resi, one day something will exist that does the original novel justice.

hmm if it where house of the dead coming to wii you would be ecstatic , i think it is worth checking out , but ill take it with a grain of salt

why would you get it again?



to be honest, I think it's really really stupid. to a point that actually frustrates me.

why would they spend money on umbrella chronicle when they could direct it into a RE5 for the wii? same goes for RE4, why bring it out again? seriously, if you have a wii you could just buy the gamecube version for lesser money.

if they produced RE5 for the wii, a lot more people would buy it than another RE4.

Erm, is it even confirmed that it's in the same style as the gun survivor games? I'm not going to knock it until I see if it's any good or not. I love the RE series...

It's actually quite a bit different now that I read about it, but it's not any better. The Gun Survivor games actually gave you some freedom, in that you could move around freely like a regular FPS. Umbrella Chronicles restricts that movement in the way that games like House of the Dead do. That is, you're put on a "rail" and don't really have any freedom. A monster just appears on the screen and you shoot it, and it moves ahead by itself. No adventure, just a lot of shooting.
