Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is looking purdy
We've been showing you a lot of Ghost Squad videos lately, but that's no reason to forget the other rail shooter coming out this season. As you can see from the video above (which is titled "The Opening Video," but it's probably just a trailer), the game looks mighty fine, indeed. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is set for release on November 13, which we know will put some more hurt on a lot of wallets. We're definitely interested, at least.

I've actually never played a RE game (the last system i owned was an n64), but I might have to pick this one up.

I still don't get how the GC could push this, then we wind up with stuff that looks so much worse on Wii (except Secret Rings, Galaxy, NiGHTS 2, No More Heroes, and Brawl)
I still marvel at how good this looks/looked

The gamecube could push this? I don't understand...

Yeah, I don't see why the GC couldn't push this - most of those character models, hell even the cutscene models, are from the GC games.

I just wondered if he thought this was a port. It looks good.

Actually, the gamecube probably COULDN'T push this, because in this game, everything seems to be rendered in real-time whereas the Resident evil 1 and 0 used prerendered environments.
I'm really looking forward to this game. It's good to see that it's possible to make the zombies heads explode, because I remember IGN previously stating that none of their heads ever did that. I guess they changed it.

What i meant is that i still am astounded at how this game essentially looks as good as a first-gen 360 game, it looks better than basically everything else on GC, which begs the question as to why nothing else on GC looked that good, or why only a few things on Wii look this good...

@mr khan
i think its just out of pure lazyness from developers just trying to jump on the money train that the wii has been so far...
but lately it seems the quality of the games are rising quite a bit

IDK about this game, but by the looks of it, SMG rivals Kameo and a few other first-year 360 games visually.

LOL...you know...
You've been hoodwinked and bamboozled here, kids :)
Its the Snake Eater/Gears of War trick, all over again: there is no *color* here folks.
The whole monochromatic thing is getting really OLD.
I never saw why everyone was all "OOO...AHHH" over RE:4. it was a cheap trick then (basically everything is washed out so you can "stack" textures and whatnot to give the illusion of more, when the reality is there is less. Snake Eater on PS2 did the same thing...) and its a cheap trick still.

Whether or not it's a "cheap trick" or not, it's a wise choice no matter how you see it. Use less resources while giving the illusion of having more textures. It's a win-win situation for the developers and the players.

ok yeah i guess the graphics were purdy for the wii but its this gameplay thats worrying me. watch the movie again, every zombie lets out the same yell and they all have near identical death animations, it just seems like a crappy flask shooter with outstanding graphics
