"Kohler: I suppose it does do that -- the plot of the film leads directly to Resident Evil 5, so die-hard fans will likely scrutinize every last detail. The plot follows characters from the games, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as they attempt to put down yet another outbreak of a manufactured virus that turns people into zombies. As someone who's just casually interested in Resident Evil games, I found Degeneration's plot to be entirely insubstantial, a paper-thin excuse to shoot grotesque..."

"Once, we were a proud warrior people, adept in every skill, discipline and combat technique required to earn mastery over our every digital domain. We were a pantheon of noble thumb-ninjas, our legendary victories and kill-counts matched in number only by the calluses on our digits; calluses we wore as badges of honour through the eternal, bloody war against AI and our fellow man. But through its ever more sophisticated design and an unerring need to be accessible to all, modern gaming has do..."

"Why did the villagers shoot at Leon ?
Because his last name is Kennedy !

What's a popular drink for a hot day in Raccoon City ?
An iced-tea virus !

Why do zombies fear Photographers ?
They hate headshots !

Why did the angry people attack an outsider with pitchforks and torches ?
Because they were religious !"

If you've been keeping tabs on the latest Resident Evil 5 trailers you would have noticed something rather ... odd. The majority of character and enemy animations are identical to Resident Evil 4. Opening doors, reloading guns, enemy deaths, jumping from ledges, etc are all the same.
Fair enough if Capcom don't want to fix what isn't broken, but there should be at least some improvement in a next-gen game. It's just lazy, otherwise.

"Zero on Wii handles in much the same way as Resident Evil 4, using the Nunchuk to move and the Remote to direct the camera, giving an over-the-shoulder perspective. You’re no Leon Kennedy, however, and as in previous Zero games your only form of defense against ghosts is to snap a picture of them, so sealing their soul into the celluloid."

"Even two console generations ago we stopped batting our eyelids if games contained other, smaller games within them. It didn’t even seem odd if whole games were made up of dozens of little ones. Nowadays we use minigame mechanisms to open doors, enact fancy stealth kills, slaughter bosses or open chests. Minigames are everywhere, be it shoving boulders in Conan, coercing peasants in Oblivion or doing anything at all in Thrillville or Jackass.

Five years from now, we’d not be surprised to s..."

With Resident Evil 5 coming along, the Producer, Jun Takeuchi has gone to state how the Sixaxis controller is not a viable option for aiming in Resident Evil 5... however it should be noted that the comment is in response to a question asking if it would be possible to use the PS3 controller in a similar fashion to how the WiiMote was used in RE4: Wii Edition.

However the sensitivity issues for something like that aside, Takeuchi went on to express his fondness for the system calling it "g...

"Three sisters and a camera on a haunted island? Sounds about right.

Plot: The game is set in the mysterious Rougetsu Island, where five young girls of the Minazuki family were kidnapped in the past. Two of the girls later died, while the remaining three - Ruka, Misaki, and Madoka - have decided to visit the island in an attempt to remember what happened during that incident. The magazine reveals that players will take on the role of Ruka and venture around the mansion in the island, which..."

"Capcom has already seen massive worldwide success with both Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on Nintendo’s immensely popular Wii console, with the duo easily surpassing a million sales each around the globe. So it was hardly any surprise to hear yet another entry into the popular survival horror franchise was on the cards. Now the developer has lifted the lid on the game by releasing the first ever trailer…

Due for release on 10th July, 2008 in Japan,..."

"Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Much like the series' signature antagonists, its another instalment of the latest Resident Evil rumour that just won't stay dead. True to its sordid word earlier in the week, RE fansite, The Horror is Alive has presented video 'proof' as to the existence of a so-called upcoming 'Resident Evil 4: Classic Edition' for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The video, uploaded to YouTube, bares all the irrefutable and unmistakable evidence of the claims the fansite..."

"Capcom is proud to announce that Resident Evil 4 Wii edition for the Nintendo Wii has shipped over 1 million copies worldwide.

　Since the release of the first Resident Evil game in 1996, the series has shipped over 33 million units (as of October 30, 2007) and is valued as one of Capcom’s most original and cutting-edge titles worldwide. “Resident Evil 4 Wii edition” retains the overflowing intensity of the original Resident Evil 4 while bringing players a totally unique, new experience thr..."

"Capcom has now confirmed that the initial projection of 420,000 copies sold worldwide for Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition has been exceeded, with sales currently over 750,000! Could this spur on further RE remakes?"

"If Nintendo's unveiling of the Wii Zapper at the recent E3 Media & Business summit wasn't enough to get your trigger finger a-twitching, then perhaps you might like to consider a more streamlined alternative from a third party instead.

The Rifle Gun Prop from DealExtreme offers exactly the same functionality as the Wii Zapper, but also ensures you'll look even more like a professional bounty hunter at the same time."

"Let’s take a wide-ranging look at the game’s critical reception and see if Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is viewed much like an intuitive and original DS game in terms of impact, or a poor yawn-inducing PS2-to-PSP port. Spend or Lend?"

"With week after week of lacklustre software releases on pretty much every applicable format, it would appear the only thing worth playing is the waiting game. So, another seven days roll along, another seven days are chipped off the block of time sitting between now and the virtual tsunami of top-tier titles that are set to cascade around us come the end of the summer."

"Resident Evil 4 is originally a classic GameCube title, and the GameCube was not exactly well known for its aesthetic performance muscle. With the game appearing on the Wii, gamers have been hoping for some graphical embellishments to complement the new Wii Remote gameplay enhancements. Alas, it would appear that Capcom and Nintendo haven’t taken that into consideration when engineering the Wii version."

"Those of you looking forward in spewing endless zombie gore using a Wii-mote may be in for a disappointment. Capcom introduced the wonderful crimson world of Resident Evil 4 to the Nintendo Wii on May 31 in Japan.

Importers can snag the title for 3,900 yen (that’s about $32 bucks.) But for some reason, Capcom has surprisingly decided to censor a hefty amount gore and blood from the game. Yeah, that Wii-mote massacre you were planning sounds more like a game of Warioware now.

Ignore the ..."

"While most of us can still only dream of a chance to play the Wii version of Resident Evil 4, the editors of Famitsu DS+Wii were apparently spending some quality time with the real thing long ago. The Nintendo-oriented monthly sister publication of Weekly Famitsu offered opinions on the game in its July issue, which just hit Japanese news stands today.

Judging by the scores, the Wii could have a critical hit. Two editors awarded the game a perfect 10 out of 10. The other two were still imp..."

Unfortunately this isn't up on youtube at the moment so I can't link directly, but here's the advert for the japanese version of Resident evil 4 on the Wii.

"While cute isn't a word we'd normally associate with Resident Evil, it's probably the best way we can describe the Resi 4 Wii Edition trailer that publisher/developer Capcom has just released. Point your eyes here to see exactly what we mean...

The picture perfect rent-a-bodies and their clinical show home apartment are unarguably easy on the eye, but we were mostly interested in checking out the snippets of game and, yes, it definitely is Resi 4, but with an unmistakably shaky Wii crossha..."
