What we KNOW about the Gameplay:

Thats looks excellent , Capcom must have learned their lessons with camera issues by now. So looking forward to it.

I think they've rehashed the original Resident Evil more than enough now without this latest incarnation.

Capcom really are flogging a dead donkey.

ShevY

so anyone played this yet?

Inisin

They've added in some little details for the touch screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZDMkwKyM9o - Resident Evil: Inappropriate Touching

Also there's a small review of an import at http://gamebrink.com/viewitem.php?id=986&review=105

Do fps games work well on something as small and consoly as the DS?

Rhyme

Kinda odd that they put in the option to violate the main characters...

"Jill Sandwhich"... heh heh heh.

RichyX

Looks basically the same as the original 1996 game.
As few little bonuses aren't going make me consider buying something I owned a decade ago.

*pats supercard*

Mr E

I've played it.... The Japanese version is in english (but with Japanese subtitles).

I've only played it for a few minutes, so I haven't come across any DS-specific content yet. The intro is pretty much intact (bad acting and all!) - its a bit grainy, but I guess thats to be expected.

So far it is the same game as the one released 10 years ago....

Motley Crue

lookin forward to it! looks excellent!

Jimi-Spandex

I'm kind "meh" over this.

Loved it, but I've alread played through three versions of it so I don't think I'll be arsed. I probably will though. Once I finish these damned exams.

i've never really played RE1. i had a lend of it, but abhored the camera and played for like 10mins.
that said, since this is the same (i think) it wouldn't appeal to me. still though it could be argued that in the 10 years since the original release new gamers have gotten involved and this gives them a chance to catch up [/optimism]
then again they've already remade it [/capcom flogging another franchise]

the different camera being the reason i plan on getting RE4
