Retro_Link Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Ada and Leon’s love story is woven into this robust background which makes for a rich game experience with a scale far surpassing the first game. Which will make their relationship in Resi 4 feel all the more wierd! Anyways, Code Veronica is also a very family/relationship orientated game... The Ashford Twins, Chris and Claire, Claire and Steve, Steve and his Father etc... Quite like the story direction this is taking! Should provide some good background info.
Diageo Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Why do they keep changing the way leon looks? he looked fine in resi 4!
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 To be honest, I just think Capcom is going the cheap and easy way with making these games on-rails. The only RE-games made exclusively for Wii (UC and this) have been on-rails, and while I can understand why they decided to make UC on-rails, I really don't get it why they have to do the same thing here too. I think it's a limited gaming experience and after these games it makes it seem like Wii is only some secondary system for game developers like Capcom- (RE5 for 360 and PS3, and we get a very very nice looking game.. but on-rails.) First off, sorry if it seemed like I bit your head off when I made that other post, I was really addressing the viewpoint that others seemed to share, so just thought I'd clear that first. To be fair, the gameplay seemed to work in Umbrella Chronicles, so Capcom have seen the potential there and have created this. It just makes the most sense since Umbrella Chronicles focused on certain games in the series, and this focuses on others that weren't mention in UC. It's almost like filling the gaps. Does it mean that we won't see a traditional Resident Evil style game, 3rd person with full control? I don't think we should ever rule out that possibility. Re4:Wii Edition didn't sell too bad from what I know, so gamers would want to see more of that at some point, I think. But, on the whole, I don't honestly know which direction Capcom are taking the series in, as a whole. Resident Evil 4 seemed very un-resi-like, in my opinion. The thing is that the game was also the first Resident Evil game for many gamers, so they obviously wouldn't notice how different the game truely is to the original ones. So, what's more interesting for me is seeing what Capcom plans to do after the release of this. Will Capcom create a third in the "Chronicles" series, to make it a trilogy, or do something different? I dunno.
Dante Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Why do they keep changing the way leon looks? he looked fine in resi 4! Leon TDSC looks closer to the RE2 model
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 He's seriously...buff in Resident Evil 4. I was looking at his shoulders and pecs with jealousy.
DuD Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ^ Flinky's a gay :p He looks like an action figure in the resi 2 pics
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 ^ Flinky's a gay :p He looks like an action figure in the resi 2 pics Haha, it's fine to observe others of the same sex. It was just jealousy more than anything, since my shoulders are a bit on the boney side. Damn, I'm getting defensive.

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Is the camera like that during the gameplay, or is it only for the trailer? Because, it's fucking awesome.
Retro_Link Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Is the camera like that during the gameplay, or is it only for the trailer?Because, it's fucking awesome. Trailer was all gameplay footage I think!! Edited April 28, 2009 by Retro_Link
Noku Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Finally a reload animation in shooters!!!! Looking awesome, hope they get the same amount of stuffing in it as they did with UC.
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Trailer was all gameplay footage I think!! Ahh, then we're in for a sweet ride.

Diageo Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Thats a good looking crocodile! Not something I say everyday
Deathborn Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Wasn't it an alligator in RE2? Because this one seems to be a crocodile. Looks good judging from the trailer. I just love how Mr. X (or whatever the grey tyrant guy is called) destroy the zombies on his path.
Retro_Link Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Certainly looks like it! They're probably exploding darts!
Strange Cookie Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) He's seriously...buff in Resident Evil 4. I was looking at his shoulders and pecs with jealousy. Try Chris in RE5. Atleast RE4 is believable, whereas Chris hasn't got arms. He's got tree trunks growing out of his sholders. Still, it's not as bad as... ...this. He looks like an action figure in the resi 2 pics That was cutting-edge rendering in the ol' days. And prerendered at that. Couldn't get any better. How graphics have evolved since then. Even real-time renders are better nowadays. Anyhoo, this game looks great! Quite liked UC, so I'm looking forward to this one. Still, that nagging feeling that it could've been a RE4-style game persists. Oh well, can't have everything, eh! Edited April 29, 2009 by Strange Cookie
Zechs Merquise Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 They seem to be really putting a lot of effort into it.
James McGeachie Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Hopefully something that's not part of the RE2 story sections. It's clearly something new (and ridiculous looking). I'm not totally sold on all the models. Mr. X/the T-103 looked better with the more calm and emotionless face found in the the old artwork. I don't think the scowling look suits him at all! Birkin isn't looking as cool as he could do yet but it might be the angle. Anyway game still looks good as a whole so far, though I wonder how different the story will be as a whole. I guess I didn't really mind the differences in the Umbrella Chronicles RE1 scenario though.
Retro_Link Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Thinking about it they made up a new Tyrant for Ada to fight in her Umbrella Chronicles mission, so I guess that thing above is something similar, though not a Tyrant. Looks like a giant mutant rat or something!?
