Forums - Gaming - Had anyone else forgotten about Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles?

I'd kind of forgotten about this Wii exclusive, Resident evil outing myself. After it's original announcement, there'd been no news whatsoever. Well according to Gameworld News, it's still kicking. "Capcom has confirmed that the Wii-exclusive horror outing, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, is still scheduled to be released for this year. Reports come following the announcement of Project Treasure Island Z, where the company told Wired’s blog game|life the title is “still on track for 2007 release". Umbrella Chronicles, which is scheduled to ship exclusively for Nintendo’s Wii console, was first announced at E3 last year. Since that time, almost nothing has come out of Capcom HQ regarding the new zombie romp, although it is believed the game will follow a series of events based around the first game up till and including Resident Evil 4. Players are allegedly able to play as two characters per scenario, such as S.T.A.R.S operatives Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine for the infamous “mansion” scenario from the first game. Similar to Resident Evil 4, the game will play in an over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing gamers to use the Wii-remote to aim and shoot their weapons with. As soon as any more details come shambling our way like a rotten corpse, we’ll be sure to take all necessary precautions and let you know. Mar 20, 2007 " We really need to start mentioning this game next time we talk about Adult Wii games, Third party Wii games, and surefire hit Wii games.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Sounds awesome, hopefully Capcom does a great job like with Resident Evil 4. And this time, it probably won't get ported to the PS3 hehe. I think the over-the-shoulder view will be perfect for the Wii...I can see the pointer working really well in a game like Resident Evil 4.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Capcom just recently confirmed that it's still coming in 2007. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/20/capcom-confirms-resident-evil-wii-in-2007-unannounced-games-com/#comments

Nope, I haven't forgotten about it. The game is supposed to tie up all the loose ends in the RE series. I'm sure Capcom is using the RE4 game engine. I hope they've tweaked it to take advantage of the Wii's extra power and RAM.



I'm still disappointed the *next* RE game (RE5) won't be on the Wii from the sounds of it. Hopefully it'll be on the 360 and that'll be cheap and reliable by then.

As far as I know it will, and the latest news that capcom is sending DMC4 to xbox360 seams to indicate that this is the case.
