- LiamIsOnFire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26One thing I've learnt is that Wii games look A LOT better in motion than in screenshots.
- FatBird19, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22I see a black zombie. I call racist shenanigans.
- nicksawick1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22I'm just excited to play a new resident evil game. I never liked resident evil games until I played RE4. That is still my favorite game of all time. Obvioulsy this game is no RE4, but it will help hold me over till RE5 next year.
- jonshipman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13they're zombies... what AI?
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I cry a little bit on the inside every time I play Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and realize the PS3 is getting RE5 and we're getting this rails crap. :(
- anteyekon4myst, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15ella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh
- mattyice11, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13This isn't really RE though. Half of RE is exploring the environments, which Umbrella Chronicles does not allow you to do.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+18What a dumb game. Developers keep spewing up garbage for the Wii. I swear, I'm basically paying $300+ for Brawl. I used to be so in love with the Wii, but then I beat Twilight Princess. Thank God I decided to buy a 360 for my online fix.
- skinrock, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8But what about the AI?
- 13tongimp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Resident Evil was launched on the original Playstation and then was multiplatform. It has NEVER been "one of 'the' nintendo franchises"
- fearlessfx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8damn those are some bland visuals
- OHaloThar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Good sir, zombies in Africa being black is completely racist.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I completely agree, please don't dig this guy down just because your a fan boy. Putting the game on rails like this is really takes a lot of the fun out of a resident evil game...
- rova, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5What happened to Nintendo's rules about 'no screenshots unless you can see people playing the game'? Two front page digg stories at the moment with Wii screenshots. Maybe it was just before launch.
- OHaloThar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Zomg barely noticeable lines make game play impossible.
- opnickc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You know, some people actually LIKE on-the-rails light gun games.
Little point in using the RE franchise for this game, but this is awesome for fans of the genre. - Epacitythug, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Ninja Gaiden Black was made 4 years after the XBOX launched. It almost been like a year since the Wii launched
- ddobson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The name is taken from the Umbrella Corporation, the evil corporation that released the T-virus and such originally in the Resident Evil universe. The game surveys the entire discovery and downfall of the corporation as covered in the RE game series. So it's a legitimate name. Think of it like "The Enron Chronicles."
- NiGHTSChao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I still don't see how these zombies have such great teeth
http://www.strategyinformer.com/wii/residentevilumbrellachronicles/screenshot-viewer.html?id=161406 - KnockoutNerd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Well this is a low res screenshot, but I am still disappointed, the Wii is the median between this gen and last gen (in terms of graphics)
- redeyejay, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Shoot 'em in the head!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3thanks for reminding me how much i despise that "song."
- johnbellone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Twilight Princess was the reason I bought the system. Along with Galaxy and Prime as soon as they come out. Nintendo's games *are* the reason why I am paying. Unfortunately, though, they are still lacking the online and support from *real* third party developers. I want interesting titles - not the smack-around-***** that are meant for 10 year old kids.
I have my 360 for pretty graphics. - NiGHTSChao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Thats because FFX had very good graphics...
- mandarin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Who wears a tube top fighting zombies?
- MakeoutParadise, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Grab the shot gun!
You don't need to load it!
We did that **** for you! - honeymustardn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No, the screenshots are 'piss poor'.
- Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -9/+11Umbrella chronicles??????
Nice name.... *cough* - johnbellone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Right. We burn Sony for not having games but we praise Nintendo's developers for rehashing games that have been out for years? This fanboyism here is starting to make me sick and I don't even own a PS3. Bring me some real games Nintendo - along with some online play. Until then, the Wii sits in my room glowing away untouched. The sad part about it is that I spent more time playing Mario 64 (and RE4) than I did playing Wii games. Because, hint, there are very few worth buying.
- o0joshua0o, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Is this not a Capcom game? Why do you wish Nintendo would try harder?
- badwithcomputer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3This looks like the House of the Dead sequel I've been waiting for. Awesome.
- KeyLimePie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Christ people, it doesn't look bad at all.
- nonpareil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You have upset the Nintenbots and will be dugg down accordingly.
- rowlodge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1you see, all white people this time?
- ddobson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't think those were official unbreakable Nintendo rules -- or if they are, they've been abandoned. None of the new Metroid clips or the official trailer Nintendo released starting last week feature any "people playing the game" footage. For some games it's a big part of the experience, for others there's clearly marketing flexibility. Also, for some games there's not much to look at graphically, so the cutaways help communicate "fun" over "eye candy."
- ddobson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Actually, the one and only benefit of the T-Virus was a rapid regeneration of dental root, pith and enamel. :)
- Insert31990, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2... Raawwxane ...
- hormelmeatco, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Will Umbrella Chronicles have pre-rendered environments like Resident Evil 0 and 1 on the Gamecube or will it be realtime like RE4? Either way, it looks bad, because both RE0/1 and RE4 looked better than this.
- volacide, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1RE4 while good in it's own right is an absolute joke in comparison to the other games in the series. REmake for the GameCube is still my all time favorite RE. That game is ***** amazing. RE2 and Zero are also good and 3 is pretty cool too. Code Veronica's environment rocks but the storyline sucks but it's still more of a RE game than RE4 was.
- Hikimbi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Darn. Still no pics of Nemesis. It'll be a crime if he isn't included as the boss for the RE3 levels.
- sarge101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2i see what you did there ;)
- 9a3eedi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's realtime. Resident Evil 0 and 1 were pre rendered, so all the resources went mostly into the character models which is why it looked so good. AFAIK this game runs on 60 fps as opposed to RE4's 30 fps, so the quality would go down..
- Seacor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The graphics look great to me, so what's with all the whining - sheesh. Maybe you should check out the release trailer. Looks very nice actually.
- honeymustardn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1If they've only be turned into zombies on the same day, it seems unlikely that their teeth will suddenly deteriate.

I will be buying this game, but those look like DS graphics. - vism, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Looks like it should be on PS2
- Kopiok, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Seriously, people keep bitching at the graphics. Who the ***** cares? If it's fun, I'll play it. No one complained when the pinnacle of graphics was freakin' Final Fantasy X.
- tadj, on 10/10/2007, -6/+5Loads more screens and info http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6971
- xSEED, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1two got pwnd
- Rob223, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Now the wii really is handling itself well! It can manage a full *6* zombies on the screen at once (blurry textures included).
Yes, have at me. However, I think that much of that is placeholders. I doubt the actual game will look that bad. -
