Gamespot Video Interview - Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

[Rombie]

I think they're trying to keep as much nostelgia in it as possible... they really don't seem to have altered any enviroments and the main plot looks mostly unchanged outside of putting the main characters together for good chunks of the game.

I think Capcom realises RE2, especially with it's sales above all else, is the generally the most respected by the fan community overall so they just really want Cavia to create a new game dynamic based on the original game - at least as far as the RE2 section goes. Even including the bug thing at the end (which is by far one of the the most annoying events in the original game, especially in Claire's game where you have to take Sherry through there) shows as much.

I've thought they'll follow the formula of 1 boss per sub-chapter, but it seems they are not cutting any of the bosses at all. 4 bosses (Alligator, G-Imago, the Tyrant and William-G) has been confirmed so far

All the past VA returning to reprise their roles except Sherry, no recycled textures, whoa. I'm impressed. I'll buy the game just to support that actions

[Holly18]

no its not the UC VA...Listen for the difference:

It's definitely Sally Cahill's voice! The other VA tried to sound like SC but it's not easy to do her excellent voice, so I give credit to the UC VA for sounding pretty close, but there's still a big difference.

We don't know if they're going to be following the same format though - there may be more than three sub-chapters for each section. Which would make sense if they're trying to be faithful, it'd be hard to condense both RE2 scenarios and the whole of CV:X into three sub-chapters.

[L-e-W]

So let's see here, so far we know that the following VA's are gonna be in DSC:

-Paul Mercier (Leon)
-Allyson Court (Claire)
-Sally Cahill (Ada)
-D.C. Douglas (Wesker, was mentioned in an interview last month)

And I'm expecting, for the C:V stages, that Roger Craig Smith is gonna voice Chris again (well, at least, I hope. It'd be nice for Chris to have the same VA in more than one game for once ).

I kinda had the feeling that they wouldn't have Sherry's old VA, Lisa Yamanaka, it just didn't seem like it would happen. Cahill, however, surprised me, as I thought Capcom had essentially stopped using the older VA's after 4.

Either way, bravo, I'm glad to hear this, and I find it awesome that Court has maintained her role for so long (I'm assuming she must have at least -some- fondness for it ).

[James]

I wonder if they'll bring back Annette as well, whose voice was pretty memorable as well.

Surprisingly, I'm really looking forward to how they do Annette in DSC. Simiarly, with the receny blog post that talks about a family breaking apart, there is a lot of room for a scenario of Annette where we play as her during the events, and follow her anger as her family falls apart.

But I can dream.

I'm hoping for Jennifer Dale's comeback.

Whereas Umbrella Chronicles featured scenarios set at different points in the RE timeline, Darkside Chronicles is rooted in the story of Resident Evil 2.

Oh for fuck's sake. WILL YOU EVER GET IT RIGHT CAPCOM!?

So does this mean no Code: Veronica or South America sections? Or is GameSpot just jumping to conclusions based on their impressions?

[Dark_Chris]

in captivate 09 trailer is a small scene from CVX and DC Douglas confirmed Wesker in DSC and because he isn't in RE2 so he must be in CVX scenario

I'm pretty sure it's just GameSpot making assumptions based on what they saw and what the developers were able to discuss. It's not the first time it's happened.

Besides, it's already been confirmed that there will be other scenarios, Capcom just isn't willing to say which ones at this point in time.

Actually, Wesker is around during RE2. He saves Ada's life and somehow gets Sherry Birkin, remember? Maybe we'll see what he did on his end in RE2 and if him and Birkin encounter one another that would prove to be very interesting indeed. Would Wesker hesitate to attack a friend whom he was very close to (pretty much like brothers).

This was already shown in Umbrella Chronicles though, in Ada's scenario to be exact. Wesker wasn't actually in Raccoon City. He simply spoke with Ada via a monitor.

[Rombie]

Thats one of the major things that I have beef with in Umbrella Chronicles... it's constantly been implied that Wesker was actually in the city at the time (mainly through the actual rescue of Ada Wong who clearly wouldn't have survived the fall without Wesker actually being there). Yet UC tries to tell us otherwise.

Don't forget being thrown into a metal console so hard that the console cripples under the force. XD

OH YEAH!?
