Fans of Capcom's Resident Evil series have quite awhile to wait before the next true installment, which likely won't see a release until 2009. How fortunate for them then that Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles arrives on the Nintendo Wii to fill the gap for them, both literally and figuratively. Rather than forging ahead with a new narrative, Umbrella Chronicles revisits familiar settings from past games in the series as it relates the story of the nefarious Umbrella Corporation's downfall. There's just one catch. The game is an on-rails light gun-style shooter designed for the Wii Zapper with only slightly more depth than one would expect to find in a coin-op arcade machine.
UGO gives Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles an overall rating of B-. Review by Adam Rosenberg.
Now that Resident Evil 3 remake is less than a month away, here's a look back at the other times Capcom reimagined the 1999 classic game.
Behind AC: New Horizons, this is my 2nd most wanted game this year.
Until Capcom remade RE2, RE3: Nemesis on PS1 was my favourite RE game.
I do think it's easily one of the most underrated RE games. I'm looking forward to fending off REmake Nemesis, especially since I heard his appearances throughout the game will now be somewhat randomized.
Umbrella chronicles is still my favourite it was really cool going back and playing the classics with updated graphics.
I would say I thought Darkside Chronicles was better mainly because 2, Code Veronica and 4 (kind of represented in the game by Leon and Krauser) are my favorite games. But the super shaky camera in Darkside really bothered me...
Numbered entries aside, there have been a whole host of other Resident Evil games, across multiple platforms. Here are some you might have missed.
That was my 1st entry into the series and yes it's very hard but so rewarding. If you don't play it right you can't actually progress If you're low on ammo 4 boss fight on plane or final boss. or if u don't leave ammo for the 2nd character later in the game in item box. I found that out the hard way. Just FYI even though Claire's the main character you play Chris for the final boss fight you better make sure there's enough items for him in the Box or you are fu@#$d
Originally yes, it was going to be a spin off with a different lead, they changed it to Jill to tie it into the series and made it a companion title to 2 instead, cv is a sequel to both lol

Why are we always getting the same shitty treatment from Sony. Especially considering we are their leading territory.
I would hope so... Japan is going to get ni no kuni as a PS Now as far as I can tell.
Well if you all spoke English it would make things easier lol.
Just messing I hope they fix this soon as your right the countries you mentioned have been the most loyal to Sony over the last 5-10 years.
