I don't know if anyone else has considered this possibility yet, but from everything we've seen and heard about Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles for Wii, I'm starting to think that the game may have pre-rendered backdrops. I mean, if you look at the screens that take place in the mansion, they have almost no loss at all when you compare them to REmake on GC, which in realtime would be impossible due to the Wii's hardware limitations. Also, the game is going to take place on a fixed path and have lightgun shooting ala House of the Dead or Time Crisis, so that really would beg the question of "Why would it need realtime backgrounds anyway?"
Basically, I'm expecting that with REUC, you'll be pointing your Wiimote at realtime Zombies who are walking around on a pre-rendered background, like in the old RE games. Then, when you've cleared the room, the background becomes animated and you move to the next area, not unlike in the Myst games.
