Umbrella Chronicles dumbed down for Wii

Good point. Every system has 100% quality games but the Wii. I now see my mistake. Listing on eBay as we speak!
 
I am utterly insulted by Capcom's comments. Wii user's want easiness? I am almost in shock at that. So, I've played video games my entire life and consider myself pretty good at them, but they are going to punish me for buying the Wii and call me a Noob??? Absolutely pathetic.

This is mainly Nintendo's fault for marketing to every 100 year old and their family, but still, Capcom didn't have to insult me this way. I will be buying RE5 for the 360, but will not be seduced into buying ANOTHER rehashed game (RE4) or some house of the dead clone. I am really starting to see how nintendo's money-making mind is working now. I don't like it.
 
[quote name='Rozz']So you're saying that rehashed last-gen crap like Prince of Persia Rival Swords, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Medal of Honer: Vanguard, Blazing Angels, SSX Blur, Wii Play, GT Pro: Racing, and the so-called dumbed down (called this by developers) ports of games like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon are top-quality software? Geez, some people's fanboyism can go way too far. I wasnt insulting the Wii, I am insulting the fact that tons of developers use the Wii as a dumping ground for dumbed down software and last-gen rehashes with crappy, half-thought controls added. For every Paper Mario there there is a half-hearted PS2 port or a crappy game added with Wii controls.I really dont know how you turned that into a whole fanboy thing but whatever. :roll:[/QUOTE]

Wii Play is a rehashed last gen game?

That's not even fair to throw that on the list... Wii Play is just an incentive to get people to buy more wiimotes, imo. I needed another Wiimote, but $40 for the controller, or $50 with a bundled game? Wasn't that much of a stretch paying the extra $10... it's not like it is it's own $50 game.

SSX Blur is decent, as well.

[quote name='Capcom']Oh no! Please! Anything but that![/quote]

;)
 
[quote name='jer7583']I hope that when UC bombs and the RE4 remake performs well Capcom doesn't take it as a message of "Nothing new sells on Wii" but as a message of "The good things you could make with the UC engine will sell as fuller games"

I think UC is bullshit at $50. It'd be a purchase at $30, because the original RE is still my favorite, and I'm a sucker for re-releases of it. I'll be getting RE4 on Wii for sure too.[/QUOTE]

You know, despite being on rails, it is supposed to be a 20 hour game (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=75436). I don't see how you can complain about a $50 price.

I expect this will sell a ton, actually.
 
It's a light gun game.

If you want RE5, well, it's not like you don't have two other systems that offer it.

Wtf?

qft.


that said, this game has the potential to be interesting still. it's capcom, I don't think it's going to be 20 hours of pointing and clicking the trigger button for 20 hours straight.
 
I've calmed down a bit since that announcement, and now I don't really care that much. I have faith in Capcom, and one of my favorite games for the cube was Killer 7 (an on-rails shooter), so I just gots ta chill. 20 hours must mean something, unless we're looking at a 20 hour Corpse Killer (doubt it). I can posture and shake my fist all I want, but I'll still be on this when it comes out...I'm such a tool.

Not a soul on this planet has played a final build of this game, and already your writing it off? Isn't it possible that maybe, just maybe, it will be really easy and fun? Or maybe it'll blaze a new trail in videogames and have adjustable difficulties!

Or, maybe it'll suck. But we can't really know that until we play it, or until at least someone plays it.
 
We all knew the Wii would be marketed towards the casual audience. If you want the hardcore games that are taking gaming in a whole new direction, there's PS3 and 360. If you want to have fun shooting zombies with friends while you have a couple beers, play the Wii. Nintendo is unabashedly moving away from the hardcore to the casual market. In fact, I don't think Nintendo has ever tried to really cater to the hardcore market. Super Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and the majority of the games that have been released on Nintendo consoles are simple concepts done very well. These games tend to be noob friendly. No one has ever needed a FAQ to play Mario Kart. You don't need to be a hardcore player to enjoy Zelda or Super Mario. These games are about fun. Sorry for the rant but the whole "If I wanted House of the Dead, I'd go play House of the Dead." argument is getting kind of silly. There's mature content coming out for the Wii. Go buy it and support Capcom or send the message that mature content only belongs on the other platforms.
 
So when did Capcom announce that this was their final Resident Evil offering for the Wii? You angry internet nerds need to get a fucking life.

You idiot, this has less to do with that, actually nothing to do with that.
This only has to do with the implications they're putting out there about the Wii and it's audience. Think in a more broader scope about this.

Oh noez they're only putting out light gun RE games for the Wii.

Are you officially predicting that Capcom will not release anything different in the RE series for the Wii? You'll just keep bitching and then when Capcom inevitably comes out with a different style RE game, you'll think that your bitching actually accomplished something. Thank squirrel god for the whiners, their insightful ranting is what we all come here to read about.
 
We're getting the first Wii light gun game. It takes place in the RE universe, and we're getting a light gun attachment for the Wiimote to play it with.

And people are pissed about that???

haha, Angry internet nerds? People make one comment on disliking the rails concept and you call us nerds? I probably play one-three hours of games a week tops and because I made a negative comment (which I have a right to do) that automatically makes me an internet nerd. What a douche bag.
 
No I think he's complaining about the general trend in this thread and others. It seems like everyone's cranky as hell. Resident Evil 4 remake for the Wii......gonna suck. Resident Evil 1 remake as a light gun game that may or may not be just House of the Dead.....gonna suck. All that ever comes out of any forum or thread these days is how everything sucks. It just gets a little tiring after a while. You all have every right to your opinion but don't expect us all to join in on the suck parade. Some of us are glad that Capcom is putting games out on a new console. The games might not be the best now but once they get the hang of the new controls, the Resident Evil that comes out in 2010 might be the best game ever to grace the planet. Until then, I'll play what's available.

Getting angry at a generalized taunt? You internet nerds sure are defensive :lol:

Anyways back on topic, Umbrella Chronicles looks good ha ha
 
I heard this same shit when Resident Evil 4 was unveiled. People bitched when it wasn't like the traditional RE games, how it wasn't true to its roots, it was going to suck, how can they mess it up, and now it's one of the most critically acclaimed games out there, and one of the best RE games ever in many people's eyes.

Gamers all over the internet slammed the DS when it was unveiled, now they love it.

They slammed the Wii, it ends up being awesome.

Zelda will never be as good in 3D, they said.

Metroid as an FPS? That will fucking suck!!

The point is, without ever us trying it and playing it for ourselves, and just reading what some guy has to say about it, well, maybe we should wait and try the finished product first? As long as it's a fun game I don't really care. I'd rather Capcom moves away from the traditional RE game, because the last game like that we got was RE 0 which was very forgettable, and no way Capcom is going to come close to RE 4 so why even try? The first thing people will say is "This isn't as good as RE 4" and straight up dismiss it.

Let's just wait until we have it in our hands to make judgment calls.

Like it was said above, it seems more and more gamers are getting pretty jaded with games in general. If we all followed popular opinion of things when they were unveiled and still being worked on, the DS + Wii would have sucked, every 3D Zelda would be garbage, and Metroid Prime would be shit. But hey, look, the opposite is true because COMPANIES TRIED NEW THINGS!

But then no one would give me a riled up reaction and I wouldn't get the attention I crave on the internet since mommy doesn't love me.

I know I would rather see UC as RE4 style game, but I was pretty impressed with the UC trailer, so I'm willing to try it if the reviews are good.

Hey, I'd rather see another RE 4 style game too, but the Wii is built around new styles of play, and well, props to Capcom for actually using the Wii with what it was intended for, which is trying to incorporate a new style of play into an old franchise.

Maybe it will work out, maybe it will bomb, but hey, I still give them props for trying something new. They could have easily have gone the RE 4 route and raked in the cash, but Capcom has always been about trying new things (in addition to pumping out the usual suspects). I know someone will name all the iterations of Street Fighter, but I can name one off the wall game they took a chance on when they could have gone for more of the same.

While I would have liked an RE 4 style game, I'm curious to see what they are going to do with the features of the Wii.
 
I don't care if it's something new or something old. As long as it's fun to play with a few friends at home or online, I'll pick it up. If my wife and daughter are begging for me to pass the controller, I'm down. If people from work all of a sudden show up, just because they were "um in the neighborhood and oh by the way mind if I check out Gears?", I'm down. We've all gotten away from what gaming is about. Take your sealed copy of Suikoden II and shove it, I've got some zombies to bust up.

Haha, dumbass.
It indicates a trend, or at least the start of one (epecially considering certain devs take on the GC). That's why we have these 'internet forums' to discuss such things.

Of course it won't be the last RE.
And I'm ready to play this one as soon it drops, since there's not much else to play on the Wii anyway.

So you think that there will only be lightgun style RE games for the Wii? k. You're free to whine all you want about your astute prediction.

Maybe if you're done whining, you can add an insight into why Capcom would make the first RE Wii game on the Wii? But no that wouldn't be whining, that'd be actually discussing the topic at hand and we can't have that.

You're only the ten billionith person to bitch on a internet forum. You can keep arguing about your Resident Evil pains ummm whats a good name to call you, oh dumbass.
 
I don't think dallow was upset over the fact that RE:UC is a light gun game. I think he was upset over the fact that it was "perceived" as too difficult then it turned into the stupid "my Internet penis is bigger then yours" conversation that it's become.

Also, Gun Survivor if I remember correctly didn't use a light gun in the US which is a huge reason why it sucked. As someone who loves light gun games, I'm uber excited for this.
 
[quote name='Sir_Fragalot']Actually I and many others believe the attachment is just a cradle for the Wiimote and Nunchuck. If it was a actual light gun attachment there might be some different opinions (myself included).[/quote]


Thats what I understood it to be as well. A plastic doodad to hold your wiimote+ chuck in 'gun form'. I still think thats kinda cool.

Cant the Wiimote act as a lightgun? I dont see why not. The way the NES gun works is, when you pull the trigger, the screen quickly and briefly turns to black and white. All the background is black, and anything you can hit is white. if the gun is pointed at black, you miss. If the gun is pointed at white, it registers a hit on that object. I think the Wiimote cpuld handle that.

Or just use the cursor/pointer, but dont draw the crosshairs on the screen, same effect, no?

Now that Im thinking about it, maybe they could offer different difficulty modes, where on hard, theres no crosshair on the screen, but for easy mode there is.
 
While I'll admit it would have been nice to see an original RE game come to Wii in the more traditional style, I'm not bitching about the game itself. Rail shooters are fun, even if it's not the "adventure" style game I'd hoped for.

I don't think the RE4 remake will suck; in fact, I'm excited about it and plan on buying it day 1. I never finished the GC version, so I'm going to do it on the Wii.

My only problem was the sentiment expressed by Capcom that basically says "well, we were thinking about giving Wii owners an RE4-like game, but then we remembered that Wii owners aren't actually gamers". And I don't think I'm exaggerating -- I actually think that's a fair summing up of the comments. There has been talk lately of third parties looking to segregate their development by platform and genre, with the implication being that your more "hardcore" or "deep gameplay" games will not end up on the Wii. As someone who hasn't quite found the cash to jump on a 360 or PS3 yet, I find that disappointing and hope it doesn't turn out to be a big deal. That is all...

:wall:Are you really that dense? I dont know how you turned my statement into a whole console wars thing, especially since I'm a Nintendo fan but anyway I meant it in terms of the games I listed how it'll probably be another crappy game like one of those.
