Resident Evil Wii

Star Lord

"Details of Resident Evil Wii so far are non-existent (beyond the fact that it is in development), but if a report on fansite Resident Evil Horror is accurate, the main protagonist in the game may be Nemesis heroine Jill Valentine."

So PS3 and 360 users get Chris, and Wii get Jill.

Personally, I prefer Jill soo wayhey!

Or will there be more than one character? Would be cool if it teamed up both Jill and Leon!

Or the only character that has been a main player only once, Claire Redfield, teamed with Jill for some ass kicking!

BlitzKrieg

claire was main in both resident evil 2 and code veronica.

the only one I can think of thats only playable in one game (designed for single player) is Carlos in Resident evil 3

Oh God...

What about Barry Burton?

"You could have been a Jill sandwich"

Mmm... sandwich.

Star Lord

Oh yeah I forgot it was Claire in CV too :rolleyes: Pay no heed to me lol

Yeah Barry was only playable in Gaiden, but I was never really a Barry fan anyway.
"You chould have been a Jill sandwich" Is a good one as quoted above, but how can you beat the "...master of lockpicking..." line

evad_lhorg

this will probably just be another REmake or somethin. resident evil 2 remake would be cool but a new game would be waaayyy better.

RE*AC*TOR

I just hope the stick to the game mechanics deployed in RE4.

That would work well with the wiimote. Very well. As long as that's in place I'll be happy with whatever setting.

Darnell13

New Resi on the Wii! Mouth watering! I'd hardly even though about that - too concerned with Zelda and Mario Galaxy.

There must be huge posssibilities with the Wii mote. Can't wait to see what the developers in store.

Resi 4 was the best thing i've played in years - damn it, i'm gonna start it again when I get home.

Or maybe i'll tackle the first one - "I hope this is not Chris's blood..." He he.

No defo Resi 4.

I was talking about this baby... (pic from wii.ign.com)


Imagine:
Two triggers = primary and secondary firing modes/fire and reload buttons
3D stick for movement
d-pad = weapon select/other functions
A button = action button / torch
*possibility* Side mounted button, tap for 90 degree turn, hold for 180 degree turn

Would be awesome when compiined with a re4 style game!

BlitzKrieg

WTF!!!


How'd i miss that puppy...My god that would rock so very much for FPS games.

well i would think that the RE4 style would work better on the Wii but i was a bigger fan of the old style to be honest
brought more horror to it and suspense in saying that though i loved RE4

oh and what about whats his name in RE0
it will come to me
Bill Coen

Star Lord

I suppose they could involve Billy again, but I wouldnt think we'd see him again to be honest. Wouldnt mind though. Heard it suggested that RE Wii could be a "tying up loose ends" game, involving bits from every game, what happened afterwards etc...
Interesting as that could be, I'd far rather see more of what happened/is happening with Ava and Wesker and whoever the company is that Ava is double crossing Wesker for. Possibly RE Wii and RE5 could be sharing the same timeline, with the events in each happening simultaneously?

BlitzKrieg

i assume you mean ada wong (ava?)

Maybe you might play as her throughout the game..might be cool.

If its tying up loose ends they might try and fill in her role for defitnite now.


god i hope they dont remake 1 again.

Star Lord

Lol! In my defence, I was knackered last night and was half falling asleep as I wrote that! :rolleyes: Gawd I need to learn to think about what I am writing lol!!!

Personally, I think I'd rather Ada remain as a npc, she'd lose too much of her mystery if you played as her, I'd much rather be playing as someone else who uncovers what she is up to!

BlitzKrieg

but she was playable in both resident evil 2 and 4


just not the central focus.

And I can see what you mean by loosing her mystery.

If they go back to the 2 character set up of earlier RE games maybe Ada could be the second character and the 1st probably Chris Redfield (if you have to deal with Wesker, then you need Chris)

Star Lord

Yeah but the Ada mini-game at the end of Re4 (GC, I never played the PS2 version with the extra Ada game) was just right for Ada though, as we never learned her motives or why she was getting the Las Plagas samples.

Possibly RE5/RE Wii will deal with some kind of Las Plagas + T/G virus combination? Food for thought!

Just pure speculation, but from the little bits and pieces I think that RE5 may be Chris chasing down Wesker, who is trying to resurrect Umbrella. (Krausers slip in RE4).

RE Wii may be dealing with Ada and the stolen Las Plaga samples and whatever is done with them seeing as she was double crossing Wesker, with Jill, and maybe Leon if Ada is involved too.

RE*AC*TOR

i'd like to see a sequel to Eternal Darkness - that would be cool

Star Lord

Yeah, it would be, possibly with better insanity effects, althought I gotta say, some of them, particularly the system error ones fooled me!!!

But really, really, doubt that will happen now that Silicon Knights moved over to Microsoft.

Rhyme

To be honest, all i want from a new Resident Evil game is for Capcom to fill in the blanks between 2 and 4... i mean, 6 years is a long time and they didnt explain Wesker at all (unless you've read the books :rolleyes: )

Star Lord

Or even between 1 and CV what happened with Wesker, because when I player CV I saw wesker coming at me and it was just a WTF!?!?!?!?!? moment, cuz I didnt know what the hell was going on with him. (And still dont really know what happened)

Or what the story was with Leon and Krauser, because it was like a reunion for the two of them but I'd no idea who he was. And personally I'd like those bits of back story filled in!

i wonder if krauser and billy coen could no each other like they were both in the army

krauser could be the commander that told billy to kill all those ppl in the village

Star Lord

According to a list published in Famitsu, the Resident Wii-vil (Couldn't help it, sorry!) game is to be called:
Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles
Source

So I'm guessing that it will be Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles here, unless they think of a really dodgy subtitle for it

Any speculation as to what it'll be about now?
Let the rumour hounds loose!

Rhyme

Well Wesker wanted to rebuild Umbrella... or at least White Umbrella (the bio-weapons division) and it was mentioned a few times that he was seeking Umbrella's secrets and the keys to its conception and past to help this cause (Las Plaga in RE4 and Alexia Ashford and the V-Virus in Code Veronica).

Maybe its him?

Either that or its a pre-emptive title... in my opinion.

Star Lord

Screenshots from a Spanish forum

Apparently they're from the video that Nintendo showed at their Japanese conference, I cant say for sure as I haven't been able to watch it yet, but going on Google's translation tools thats where they are from

Darnell13

There is a bit of video on IGN called OMFG!, which shows footage from loads of Wii games. Right before it show Link holding his sword, it shows soom rooms in what look like the Resi mansion. The hall where Barry says "I hope this is not Chris's blood", in fact.

Of course there is a chance that that's just what i wanted myself to see.

Don't know if this link will work.

http://movie.nintendo.co.jp/data/wii_preview/lineup/movie_lineup.swf

Darnell13

It's about three quarters of the way through the video.

Oooohhhh it's exciting!

BlitzKrieg

I'm scared that with a name like umbrella chronicles and an image that looks like the resi 1 mansion. Then we could end up with another resident evil 1 etc remake.

I guess it would be a anthology remake of the raccoon city and veronica saga.

[world of dreams]
Or it could be RE 0,1,2,3 + CV all done with RE4 style controls and the Wii controller!
[/world of dreams]

:rolleyes:

Seriously though, it could still be a combination of bits from all the resi games as well as filling in the story gaps, the mansion part, you 'could' be playing as Barry or some Rebecca when she first got to the mansion till she ended up in the medical room...?
That Spanish forum link I posted has images from it, clearly showing the "hope this isn't Chris' blood" dining room, and what looks like the cerberus-through-the-window hallway.

Resident Evil 0?

To be honest, i cant see them taking Rebecca anywhere significant in a storyline... she has no proper ties to Umbrella/Wesker and she's too damn nice.

There was always mntion of Spencer having a fair few mansions, each with a different purpose. Perhaps the one in this (if there is a mansion) is something of an archive... maybe the former S.T.A.R.S. are getting their act together or perhaps this is set in that 6 year gap between 2 and 4 that explains why Umbrella went down the sh*tter.

Looks like the rumours I heard were true!

Scenes from areas out of RE 1, 2, 3 and 4.

RE1s mansion, you can be Chris or Jill
RE2s RPD building, Claire or Leon
RE3s city area, Jill and Carlos,
RE4s village area, Leon or Ada.

Apparently its RE4 style controls too
Youll uncover new information on umbrella, to reveal more about the company up to their status in RE4. Like Mercenaries in RE4 each character has their own strengths and weaknesses and their own weapons. You are limited to 2 weapo ns apparently. You'll have to be more strategic than in RE4, ammo will be scarcer! Unlockable characters are Rebecca Chambers, Albert Wesker and Hunk. There is an Arcade mode too, like Mercenaries, where you can just run and gun, no story involved.

I'm delighted and can't wait to play this!

Darnell13

That's some good info Diablo.

Jaysus it sounds great. I shouldn't get too excited about it now, though, cos it's probably ages away.

But really, Resi 4 gameplay in the original mansion?

And the city streets?

How can I not get excited?

I don't suppose there's any date being mentioned tor this beauty?

Not so far as I know, but apparently itll have a trailer of its own at TGS, and I for one cant wait to see it.

And honestly, if they are at this stage already, I'd say they're probably using an adapted version of the RE4 engine, built for the more powerful Wii. So its very very possible that we'll see it in 2007

Rhyme

Oh my...

/me sheds tear

So beautiful... so... beautiful.

This honestly supercedes anything else on the Wii for me, must get.

The only game it doesn't supercede for me would be Twilight Princess.

I... must... have... it!

BlitzKrieg

While yes this sounds like alot of fun. I was hoping for fresh new epic storyline (one of the Resident evil's strengths.) not another compilation of the old games (and not even the complete games it seems, but action bits taken from them.)

but i'll prob still get it.

though I did call it back on page 1 (w00t! me super smart!)

Star Lord

Apparently its NOT bits taken from the old games though, from what I read at the n-europe article, it seems to be new scenes, just set in the areas from the old games, revealing new information on Umbrella etc..

Darnell13

Spot on Rhyme.

God knows i love my Zelda games, but more Resi 4 style action....top of my wish list.

Yeah, a big story would be cool, but I have absolute faith that this'll still be the best thing ever.

Need more info!
