One of the reasons Capcom stated they were changing REUC to an on rails shooter was because it would "appeal to a larger audience" and be "more accesible" and other fluff pretty much saying they were going to casualize the game.

However, do you think the game would have sold better if it had been like RE4 Wii Edition or how it ended up being? I personally think it would have sold better if it was designed like RE4 then an on-rails shooter.

Is this a thread whining about how RE:UC is an on-rails shooter and how it sucks?

Yep.

Making a Light gun game on the Wii sounds the most reasonable but it just doesent seem the same without the actual...umm gun. Especially after the major Success of RE4 most people would have expected that.

i think the game would have been better if they released it a month later and didnt release it the day after mario galaxy came out.

I like on rail shooters and lightgun games but I would rather have another game play like RE 4.

According to VGchartz, approximately 800k which is a good number IMHO.

It would have been a different game. I dont see the point of the question. If it was like RE4 it wouldnt have been anything like it is now. its like asking how an apple would be if it were a cat

No, not at all

They didn't have enough time to make a game like Resident Evil 4 so if you wanted one of those you'd be waiting until somewhere late 2008 or mid 2009.

So what sells more in 2007?

Resident Evil UC or no game at all?

I had a go at this game the other day and I thought it was good. An on-rails shooter is perfect for the Wii. The only thing I wasn't too sure about was the whether it should have been part of the RE franchise. RE games have always been 3rd person shooters, and so this game is just odd. Although shooting plays a big part of RE games, so does puzzle solving, and that is something that this game lacks. Maybe I'm just being fussy...

i never heard capcom say anything like that concerning umbrella chronicles, it's just a cashin title, based on the popularity of the wii, but to answer your question, the answer is no, ithink it was always itended to play, and look the way as a light gun shooter, who cares, if the game plays like resident evil 4, not me, but i am in the minority,here... oh well

UC pretty much covers what happens in RE 1 2 3 and 0.

I've only played RE4 before getting UC and I don't regret it... unless you want to play the other RE games and don't want to get spoiled.

He is right Capcom did say that, and your wrong it was not a quick cash in game, it was confirmed before the Wii every came out.
