There have been rumblings about this for a few weeks now with nothing but a listing on Gamestops website to support it, ...but, according to people who have the latest issue of Famitsu it' s mentioned in an article about Umbrella Chronicles.

It' s supposedly going to be an overhaul of the Gamecube Nintendo version with the added PS2 extras, 480p and true 16:9 support, and Wiimote aiming and knife slashing.

That would be good news.

However, Umbrella Chronicles is said to be an on-the-rails Gun Survivor-esque (first person) blaster with pre-rendered animated backgrounds and high poly enemy models.

This is the 2nd page of the article as the 1st is waaay to blurry...





Now, the RE4 remake would/will be amazing, especially if they nail the controls and up the texture resolution and release it at a cut price, ...but Umbrella Chronicles could be hit or miss.

I was initially disappointed when i started typing this post but the more i think about it the better it seems, especially if they go all out on the backgrounds. On-the-rails is always a bit meh, but i adore the House of the Dead and Time Crisis games so hopefully it' s be like a super-pretty House of the Dead with quick time events!

As far as i can tell the different characters in Umbrella Chronicles (Chris, Jill, Rebecca, Wesker etc) have different abilities and different weapons. I guess we' ll see.
