It won't be a port of RE5, because RE5 will be exclusively on the Wii. Check BikerBoy's blog if you don't believe me.

He really made that prediction? Then with his track record, it is almost as good as confirmed for me. Great to hear I will be playing RE5 with my Wii.

Sad? Uc is a damn railshooter. I would have thought that this type of game was relegated to a small niche a long time ago. Re4 on the other hand was a really good game. This shows that gamers have taste sometimes.

I don't can say something about the quality of the title, as I don't have it yet (I doesn't get a release in germany). I'm not sure how well the rail-shooter thing works. So possibly you're are right, and the game is crap. But in this case it's sad, sad that Capcom doesn't make a better new RE for the Wii.


It's not. It's way more deep and offer a lot more options then your average rail shooter. If your a fan of shooting games or RE games in general it's definitly worth the buy. Well unelss you are a baby. It actually is far more difficult then your average game. It's a rail shooter but it plays differently then other rail shooters. Honestly, i'd rather have another UC then RE:5 or 6. It's to what Rail Shooters what the 2K sports baskebtall games, Mario platformers, Mario Party and GT are to their respective franchises. The out an out best in their genre by a large margin.

Resident Evil: UC screams fan service all over it for RE fans, but the problem is that it's a railshooter. Railshooters have a small userbase in the world of gaming, that makes anyone an arcade shooter fan or not to rent it first to see if they like it or not if it's worth a purchase.

To me, RE:UC has a 80-85% chance to be a million seller WW. Maybe around 800-900K at best, but that doesn't matter for Capcom. What matters for Capcom is that it needs to pass it sales goal at 620K. If it does becomes a offical million seller, then Capcom will be pleased from it.

That's fine to hear. As I said, I don't own the game yet, because it didn't get a release in germany. I have to order it in a foreign country. But I'm sure I will try it, so it's fine to hear that's a good game.

Maybe better, RE2 remake would be great.

I guess it still can become a million seller, as for europe I can say that I tried to order (import) it for over a month now, and nearly all internet-shops have no copies left of it. austria-gameshops all empty exept some ones that sell it for 70€+ posting. amazon.co.uk was sold out of it for a couple of days too so in my opinion it was just a shortage, at least here in europe around, maybe because so many germans were forced to import it :)

And what I heard of it so far (my copy is still on its way I hope -.-) it is more than an ordinary rail shooter as for example the huge play time, upgradable weapons etc. And I guess if you're a fan of RE you will have some nice moments revisting. But thats all just my opinion and what I've heard, so i can't say for sure but after all I never heard someone being disapponited of it so I'll see and judge for myself when slow royal mail air finally brings it hopefully tomorrow... :)

Hmm, ah well.. it's not like it hasn't sold badly or anything. And it's still selling. :) Maybe some people are holding off 'till the price drops, I know I am... Might get it when it costs like 30 Euros or so. Right now it's 50, and that's a bit too much for an on-rails shooter if you ask me.
