RE: The Darkside Chronicles - Meet the Team

Plenty of familiar faces in this Resident Evil on-rails shooter.

This game looks pretty bad. The voice acting is atrocious, the graphics aren't that great, and it's on rails. I'll pass.

I dunno it looks like it could be pretty fun. Good graphics considering the platform, and I'm not surprised the v/o is bad because I find most Japanese developed games have terrible v/o's.

Christ they just gonna go through every other genre to avoid survival horror??? i doubt anyone asked for an UC sequel, what every1 was after was a RE2 remake >8(
Action-shooter and now on-rails...there'll be a RE mascot racing game coming up in 2010 i'll expect.

I skipped Umbrella Chronicles because it sounded like it was hard to tell when you're shots were hitting the zombies, but I'm very excited for this game.

Oh Steve Burnside, you were the most enjoyable death in Code Veronica. Maybe if you didn't take my SMGs for some ceremonial lugers and sound like a total gimp I wouldn't have rooted for your demise everytime you showed up.

On the plus side, Yay! Bandersnatches! One of my favorite enemies. It's just a shame it never got to appear in another RE game. Shooting one armed silly putty banana men never got old. It just didn't.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Oh wait, this is the internet. Fuck this game. Nice graphics, for a PS2 game. On rails, more like on fails. I see the quality, well-spoken dialogue Resident Evil is known for is missing here. What a joke.

All I can say is... Umbrella Chronicles was a terrible game with--somehow--slow gameplay even for an on-rails shooter.

I had hopes that this would at least be enjoyable, but yet again they're promoting "new story elements" while entirely re-writing the scenario as it stands. Throwing Leon, Claire, and Ada into the same room kind of kills the entire game.

I really dont like on rails shootaz for the wii.  They just feel slow and unforgiving.  Come to think of it, even house of the dead was unforgiving in the arcade.  The genre just feels stale and you have to have a reticule onscreen.....   The games just dont seem fun.

What i would pay money for however is a remake of the older games, with RE4 controls.  Dont know if it would work, but it would be far more interesting.

Is it me or does the FPS look a bit off? Other than that it looks pretty cool.

Some awful one-liners and Leon sounds like a Jonas brother-like goodie-goodie, but looks like it could be fun.

Capcom will do just about anything it seems to avoid bringing back Resident Evil as a survival horror game or doing what I would give anything for, a remake of Resident Evil 2 with RE5 graphics and the gameplay of RE4.

Doesn't look terrible, but do we really need another light gun shooter? Wouldn't a remake of 2 in either the classic or the new style be better?

@Stargate174:

So basically you're saying the game would ONLY be playable, maybe even enjoyable, if it was in HD?

I just don't understand 9r4phic wh0r35... If a game is fun to play then why worry about what it looks like. If graphics mean so much to you then go ahead and throw out all the classics in your collection. Super Mario Bros, Gross those graphics suck! FF7, eeeeeeew it looks terrible.

I suggest you at least give it a try. Me and my friend had a blast with the first one.

Im not lowering my expectations because its a wii game, this looks like crap.  The voice acting is absolutley terrible. I wasted my money buying motion plus and grand slam tennis, i doubt i will ever buy another wii game.
