Degeneration Cellphone Game, RE5 in magazines

[Dot50Cal]

An odd video has appeared on a foreign language video site. It shows what appears to be a cell phone game based on the upcoming Resident Evil Degeneration. It looks like it plays as traditional Resident Evil games have in the past, but it mixes in a bit of Resident Evil 4 style gameplay, along with some cellphone specific goals of rescuting survivors. It was apparently at the German Games Convention in Leipzig (Thanks, Iron!).

Check it out here, courtesy of Sunglasses from Resident Evil Realm!

In other news, next months EGM issue will have Resident Evil 5 as the cover story, so expect some new information. Hopefully we'll get more than just recycled Famitsu info, since a cover story generally means exclusives of some sort. Thanks to aris13 and ElusionM for the heads up!

In more magazine news, Famitsu Wave, the dvd video magazine combo publication, will also have Resident Evil 5 as the cover story. Gene picked up his copy already, which features two discs. There are actually two dvd discs with different artworks. The first disc has Sheva on it, and the other has Chris. Biohazard 5 content is on disc 1. There doesn't appear to be any new screenshots or videos, sadly.

Check out more information here Thanks, Anders! Or you can check out some pictures Gene took here.

About the degeneration game

its look kinda fake to me

A: poor quality of the graphics
B: its look like a RE: the missions MOD. the background fits on this


But the thing is: in the missions there is no Cerverus.

It's a CELL PHONE game. Were you expecting it to rival PS3 graphics?

And Capcom likes to make money. Who doesn't?

Does the next issue of EGM come out before or after TGS?

[RetroRain]

Even if it looks the way it does because it is on a cell phone, the game is still pointless. I can't believe that people would actually waste their money on this thing. And the whole "It uses the RE4 style" is just so old now. It's really not as great as they make it out to be.

[Darkmoon]

I wonder if this is what people throught was the RE2 remake...

Anyway, it's another of Capcom's 'lets give the fans something they don't really want to make extra money. Money money money' ideas. Honestly I can't see it being the game to end all games.

"The missions" has the "classic style". the camera angles are exactly like RE3(because have the same escenario)
I do not understand where you see the "RE4 style"

Leon's tired of the muthafuckin' zombies on the muthafuckin' plane!

Really though...what's the point in cell phone games. (rhetorical question) They are even more limited than the actual big name games on consoles. Doubt they would ever be translated either.

EGM will be in store (October 7) 2 days before the start of the Tokyo Game Show (October 9-12)

If it uses environments from The Missions, and follows the story of Degeneration, is it plausible to imply that these locations will be making an appearance in the film?

Mhh i think this game will have only the name and the hero (Leon) of Degeneration.... why? I don't want Ingrid Hunningan again in the Degeneration movie?
