Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Comments by Kristan Reed

I dare someone to call smelly a nintyfanboy.

Go on then, I DARE YOU. :-D

I don't think THAT many people are actually hating the game, they are just somewhat dissapointed that UC is a lightgun game.

Most people were expecting a code veronica-esque type game, not a lightgun game.

No one knows if it's gonna be crap or not, but surely you cannot expect people NOT to be somewhat dissapointed?

well there we go after 117 posts unsurprisingly not everyone agrees about Capcoms announcement, i'll stay looking forward to the release and jumping around the front room with my wiimote killing zombies and others will stay disappointed....

would've been interesting to find out how many people fancied the idea of multi-player wii bowling before it's release....

ZOMBIE BOWLING? Hell yes. Undead sports ftmfw!

Quick, someone buy the rights to make Resident Evil: Zombie Olympics 2008!

smelly: "The way i see it.. it's like cars.. Those with the big powerful machines are trying to make up for their own inadequencies. "

What inadequencies? The 360, at least, has some games to play on it.

I'd like to go home and dig out my copy of House of the dead 2 with twin lightguns.

But it doesn't work on my new TV, coz it's CRT only.

\goes off for a good cry.

When you play it, im sure you'll be just as disappointed, only we'll be slightly richer :)

For true fans of the series, it isn't about killing the zombies.

@manic_mouse ... erm.. um..

(nah cant be arsed - does someone want to explain it to him?)

Maybe you'll get it when yer a grown up..

No.. it's about pretty pixels.. that you can masturbate over.. and congratulate yourself that you did make a good purchase after all... And that you can show to your friends (if you had any) how great the pixels look on your new toy.

Everyone knows that!

It's not about having FUN or anything.. Gawd no.. If people were having FUN playing games, then they wouldnt be in a forum posting about how a game they've never played is going to suck as it's not on their system with the prettiest pixels.

To forumites.. it's never about actually having fun with a game.. That's something that the "casual" gamer does..

where did THAT come from? :)

I have a Wii too u'know. RE for "fans" is about uncovering a story, fast-action peices blended with slow paced and scary as hell tense sections. Its about surviving and fighting against over-whelming odds and maybe protecting another character along the way. And yes, even bloody messing about in your inventory :)

Not light-gun action!

@ZuluHero
"Uncovering a story"? I highly doubt it that this one will be just a sequence of shooting without any story. They already said that there will be a story shedding light at the downfall of Umbrella.
"fast-action peices blended with slow paced and scary as hell tense sections"? Well who said that this can't be the case in this game. Most of it will probably be dramatic shooting but the rest...who knows?
"surviving and fighting against over-whelming odds and maybe protecting another character along the way"? Don't see any reason why this wouldn't be possible in a FPS-style onrails game. You follow a character and protect her/him from whatever tries to attack...
"even bloody messing about in your inventory"? I guess we can live without the annoying inventory.
Still dissapointed? Well, fair enough.
Just remember not to buy it, mate:-)

Even streetfighter II had a story to uncover can't see that Capcom will struggle with that aspect in the 20 hours gameplay in UC.

Im quite sure I will end up getting this, no matter how rubbish it might be - cant get enough RE!
