Resident Evil UC - Impressions on the new gameplay trailer

Ok for one the screens look awesome as far as graphics are concerned ( probably the best looking Wii game right now ). Now only the gameplay remains to be proven since the game is on rails but just being in Chris Redfields shoes seems like it would be an exhilarating experience since weve never seen the resident evil games from this perspective. Your thoughts. Discuss

I actually seem to like the on-rails gameplay.waitaseck

same here, looks unique and overall, imo, looks fun.  

Wow i didnt think that I would get many positive responses but the turn out has been great. Heres to hoping that our hopes dont get crushed with the gameplay :)

YUCK!!!! rail get boring to fast

I guess I'll be the first skeptic...

The graphics seem to have no improvement over the RE remake on the GC or RE 4. And the game seems like they just wanted to throw a RE game into the Wii library so consumers wouldn't feel it was getting left out since it isn't getting a true sequel in RE 5. It seems like the searching feel of past RE games will be gone (since you can't walk where you want and will have a short amount of time until the camera forces you somewhere else). I'm sure there are other things I'm worried about but cant think of right now...

 With that said I can guarantee I will preorder it but I will still wish I had a real sequel to RE 4 playing in my Wii as I blast through the mansion one more time...

Question. Were Resident evil's background always fully 3D rendered and Capcom just used screenshots of the rendered images in the games, meanwhile the fully 3D maps are stored somewhere for use in a game like this? *hopes people understand that*

My impressions though are that I am excited. I played House of the Dead II several times and enjoyed it. Now playing this will be pure orgasm. And it will have a real story and less crappy voice acting.

i'm suprirsed to say this...but it looks like a blast.

If it has two player co-op, i'm sold.   

If they clean the graphics up slightly and do something like a reactive environment so the game has replay value, but otherwise I look forward to it. I know I'll get it

I'm pretty sure that's because this game is left over from when the Wii-mote was gonna be a GC peripheral.

I have been playing res games fore 13years now and i was so happy when they revamped the series with res 4, i loved the others but the franchise(and the controlls!!) had to change.

And so im really xcitd about UC a fast paced frantic,atmospheric shooter in the style of games like hotd but with a better story and more depth of gameplay. Couple of my housemates hated the res series, but with the change to a focus in action in res 4 the retooled controlls and now this glorious onrail shoote, there minds hve been completley changed.

Uc will be the pinnacle of the on rals zombie game. 

I'm still dissapointed... I was expecting, like anyone out there I guess, a game much like RE4 in terms of gameplay. I saw the video, its graphics are just as good as I was excpecting for this game, that makes me think capcom is working quite hard on this game, If they wanted to make a low budget one just making use of the Resident Evil name why to spend time to develop such a good graphic design? I think this game have got some potiential, of course it is not RE5 or RE4-2 but It still can be really good.

I'm excited about Umbrella Chronicles.  I just realized how well rail-shooters would work on Wii.  I like rail-shooters because it's pick-up-and-play.  I hope this game is 2 players; maybe even 4 players.  It'll truly be fun for the whole family.

Oh yeah, and according to IGN, Umbrella Chronicles is supposed to contain 15-20 hours of gameplay, which is pretty long for a rail-shooter.

Numbers like that are always per the developer/publisher, and are almost always gross exaggerations of reality.

The Wiimote was never going to be a GC peripheral.

it sure was bud, remember a couple e3's back, when they were showing behind closed doors a peripheral that would "extend the life of the gamecube" it was the remote, but just the remote, not the nunchuk. Im pretty sure they've even outright said that it was a gc idea.

Edit: I do understand that it's just a rumor, but it make a lot of sense if it were originally a gc peripheral.

 You can think it's not true, but I entirely disagree.  When a game is in devevlopment, the people making it always quote a xxx hours estimate.  And it's almost always a far overshot of what it is in reality, when the game is actually delivered.  

 They overpromote.  That's their job.  They're not a exactly what you'd call unbiased, and their perspective is to make the game sound as good as possible.
