Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Site Update

[L-e-W]

They will change alot of stuffs.
Chris can suddenly show up and save Claire, just an example.
I really want to watch the new trailer, but I wanna have surprises playing the game :s I hate the fact I know Claire will trip in that licker

Well, think about how the trailers for UC went: The "recap" areas were shown off quite a bit, but the brand-new stuff was kept under wraps all the way up until the end, so don't worry just yet about not being surprised.

They'll most definitely reuse Chris' CV model from REmake, albeit likely touched up a bit, but for Wesker they'll need to make a new one, unless they simply reuse his RE4/UC model, but I don't think even Capcom would be that lazy.

They really need to touch up Chris' REmake model. Compared to almost every character in Umbrella Chronicles, Chris looked as though he had no details whatsoever. His hair desperately needs more texture and detail. The lack of detail in his hair reminds me of when I was a child, and all my female Barbie dolls had pretty hairdos, while all my male Barbies just had boring plastic hair. Still pisses me off to this day.

*places hand on your shoulder* It's...time to let it go.

As for the scenario swaps between Chris and Claire, I'm sure they'll do something about it. Hopefully not extremely lazy like a lot of the things in UC were - since it really does seem like more work is going to go into this game. But they'll probably tweak a couple of events/locations of events to make it flow better.

I am also now loling forever at the mental image of the DSC models and Chris's RE5 one. I so doubt they'd do that, but I am also in the "make his model prettier pls" boat.

Leon looks fantastic in Darkside Chronicles.

[DarkMemories]

Just a thought, but-who said there had to be a Chris section in CV? Darkside Chronicles seems to have its primary focus on Leon and Claire, so playing as Chris isn't necessary. But there will probably be sub-chapters, so who knows. I'm willing to bet this is how they set up the CV section of the game:

Chapter 1
Area: Prison and Training Facility
Playable Characters: Claire and Steve
Boss: Gulp Worm

Chapter 2
Area: Ashford Manor and Palace
Playable Characters: Claire and Steve
Boss: Tyrant

Chapter 3
Area: Antarctica
Playable Characters: Claire and Steve
Boss: Nosferatu

And if they do have Chris chapters:

Sub-Chapter 1: Ruins of Rockfort
Character: Chris
Boss: Albinoid

Sub-Chapter 2: Cold Villainy
Character: Chris
Bosses: Alexia Form I, II, and III


That seems the most logical setup to me.

But, to stay a little more on topic, that teaser's got me a little more excited for E3; I can't wait for more footage.

I wonder if Roger Craig Smith will be the VA for Chris again?

[Vector]

I wonder if Roger Craig Smith will be the VA for Chris again?

I really, really hope so. He did a pretty stellar job in RE5.

[Dark_Chris]

yeah Smith is the BEST Chris's VA

[Archelon]

Nothing against Smith, because I think he did an excellent job, but I've always been partial to Joe Whyte, myself.

[A-J]

Nonsense, Charlie was the shit.

I would argue that playing as Chris IS necessary as ending the section with Alexia attacking Claire and Steve, and then resolving it in a sub-section just seems wrong to me. But actually, something they could do is: After the attack from Alexia, we can have a scene with Claire waking up to find Chris standing over her and have them from that point team up and go through the ending of the game. A Chris sub section would be playable to explore how he got to that point.

That is...if they are still keeping the same game layout (i.e: 3 sections + sub scenario) which I'm kinda thinking they aren't.

[xfactor]

I don't think updating Chris model for Code: Veronica might be a good idea, as they reused his REmake model for the Umbrella's downfall scenario in RE:UC. It'll be weird if they update the model for Code: Veronica scenario. I mean:

REmake (RE:UC) - Remake model
Code: Veronica (RE:TDC) - updated model
Umbrella's downfall (RE:UC) - REmake model

That doesn't sounds right to me. I rather they reuse the REmake model for consistency.

There should be a Chris section in CV as his portion covers about 1/2 of the game. The VA for Wesker confirming that he'll return just point towards a high probability that Chris will appear too to reenact their scenes in that game. Code: Veronica scenario will be weird without Chris' appearance, due to Chris' mentioning his Rockfort island encounter with Wesker in RE5.

[Archelon]

I think if they "update" Chris' REmake CV model, it'll just consist of some minor graphical touch ups like Leon's RE4 RPD model.

I can't imagine ROIDS!Chris in Code Veronica.. I'd love to see Wesker pick him up looking like that.. I'm so excited for June 3rd! I'm so happy I could cry! I can't wait to see Alfred and all his glorified sexiness! ;D
