Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp. Chronicles

[Marik]

Who's a RE fan? Who was pissed that RE4 basically skipped 6 years of story from Veronica? Well the new RE game for the Wii is now gonna answer that with it's new title: Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp Chronicles. Basically it'll fill us on what happened after Code Veronica.

Most of the big characters are here: Chris, Jill, Ada, Leon, Hunk, Wesker, Claire, etc. 8 playable characters.

Now it's the Wii so what's the gameplay? The Wii Remote will be used much like a light gun when it comes to attacking. The game will also feature RE4-like action scenes where you will push whatever button the game asks you to to preform the act during the scene.

The Scenario Mode is what RE: UCC's campain, but there's there's an "Arcade Mode" too. Unknown on any Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support yet.

Later this month is the Tokyo Game Show, expect something new then. On an unrelated note, Capcom is also (finally) showing off Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3, a game we haven't heard anything about since E3 2005 (With only a small bit of gameplay footage). Also they might show Resident Evil 5 for the PS3 and 360, another game we haven't heard anything about since its announcement.

Similar to Outbreak, it’s split up in different chapters; you will be able to play as the main Resident Evil protagonists from the main series, as well as unlock additional characters.

Four chapters will be available, each chapter will have 2 playable characters:

Chapter 1 - Mansion from Resident Evil - Jill and Chris
Chapter 2 - Raccoon City PD from Resident Evil 2 - Claire and Leon
Chapter 3 - Raccoon City Streets from Resident Evil 3 - Jill and Carlos
Chapter 4 - Spanish Villa from Resident Evil 4 - Leon and Ada

The gameplay will be similar to Resident Evil 4, use the Wiimote to trigger the over-the-shoulder view, use the nunchuk to fire. Gameplay will be in 3rd person similar to RE4, but additionally the game takes advantage of the controller’s core features. -Puzzles and shooting will have a new twist to it. All characters will have different weapons and melee attacks like in BH4, you can find additional weapons in the stage. Each character can only carry 2 weapons, such as Chris’ pistol and shotgun, and Jill’s pistol and grenade launcher. The main game Scenario Mode will have in-game cutscenes, each chapter will have new contents which link to Umbrella’s status. There is an Arcade Mode which plays like the Resident Evil 4's Mercenaries mini game. Additional characters can be unlocked by playing the game, such as Rebecca , Hunk and Wesker.

More info this weekend at the Tokyo Game Show.
