I have no problems with the Resident Evil 4 control scheme. In fact, it works perfectly for a game which features slow moving zombies like Resident Evil 4 — a lot of the tension created was due to the inability to walk and shoot.
The producer, Jun Takeuchi, confirmed that Resident Evil 5 and a new ‘Gears-like’ control scheme option will be appearing at the Tokyo Game Show. Great, but this requires a Resident Evil game catered to such a drastic change. Otherwise, it could just end up being way too easy to dispense of the enemies.
What a day it’s been. That Microsoft press conference was quite the bore up until the very end when “shit got real”. Anyways, for those who don’t have the time to scour the net for all the juicy footage and essential info, I did it all for you. Enjoy.
Trust me, this list is a lot more exciting than having it slowly revealed to you.
Capcom’s community blog unveiled their official E3 line-up which included a mysterious game codenamed, “Flock”. I honestly have no idea what it is. What I do know is that Capcom’s E3 line-up is a solid one.
Captivate is Capcom’s own media event. Nothing super exciting happened, but there were some noteworthy pieces of media and info which I stumbled across.
Street Fighter IV
Unlike another Street Fighter game, this one is actually impressing me with every showing.
The ‘Vengeance’ Trailer is definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen the game for awhile. Ignore the announcer and his ramblings; he’ll stop at the half way point and then you can enjoy some fantastic Street Fighter IV footage. If you’re wondering how the game is shaping up, it’s actually going very well according to impressions from Kotaku.
People will be pleased to know that the console versions will include the following exclusive features:
This was some wicked stuff. That RE4 vibe was definitely felt and that is a good thing. No release date yet, but we know it’s coming for Xbox 360 and PS3. Oh, they released the official website as well.
You talk about a game’s unveiling just yesterday and out of nowhere comes a flood of screenshots. Today, a bunch of Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation Heroes screenshots were posted on Famitsu’s website. I’m loving the art direction and style of this game. It’s exactly what the Capcom vs games are all about with the over-the-top special moves.
I’m jealous of the Japanese. Not just because of their lovely ladies, nice cars or other technological marvels, but also because they have Famitsu and its exclusives.This week’s Famitsu featured some footage for Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil 5. Awesomeness confirmed. They took the RE4 formula and ran with it. Rumors are stating a 2009 release which doesn’t surprise me since Capcom have tasted the nectar of success with RE4 and probably wants to taste it again with RE5.
Anyways, check out the footage for some Japanese commentary and a glimpse of Chris Redfield’s huge arms.
Capcom re-released Resident Evil 4 for the Wii with enhanced Wii controls and it looks like they’re going to repeat the process again with the former GameCube exclusive, Resident Evil Zero. I have played every major Resident Evil game except for Zero, so this will give me an excellent opportunity to play it and complete the series thus far.
RE0 isn’t the same as RE4, though. It’s less action oriented when compared to the more recent Resident Evil 4. It also stays closer to the “old” Resident Evil formula. I don’t mind it; all I care for is a good and solid re-release.
What a day it’s been. That Microsoft press conference was quite the bore up until the very end when “shit got real”. Anyways, for those who don’t have the time to scour the net for all the juicy footage and essential info, I did it all for you. Enjoy.
