Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Gameplay Footage

I miss his original VA! Granted, there's nothing wrong with his new VA in this game (from what we've heard, which is limited), but I seriously miss that Canadian accent the original actor had. It always made me laugh, because it always unintentionally slipped out during his lines.

I really enjoyed seeing non-perfect Leon. He felt much more human in the trailer so far.

[Mesker]

Damn it would be nice if this wasn't a rail shooter. Looks so good.

I'm sure that the game will be a great, movie-like, watch, but I have doubts about the gameplay. From the videos and IGN hands-on it seems that this shaky camera, while a nice feature that adds atmosphere, isn't gameplay-friendly. Also, I think that there's too many moments where there are zombies just for the sake of being there and not for the player to shoot them, because the camera moves so fast and so shaky it's nearly impossible.

So, has anybody been able to figure out why there is sunlight coming through those windows at night time?

Lol @ 1:15-1:30 on the RE2 gameplay. Another Leon fail.

Gameplay looks really interesting for both scenarios. I am especially excited for CVX's scenario. It looks really nice.

God, I cannot wait for this game!

Oh Leon you so smart. Though I do like how you sort of "feel" the effect of that, too.

Also, was it my imagination, or did it actually take a few shots to blow up the barrel? Cause I sort of love that.

Yeah I love the fact that Leon (rightfully so) seems green in the RE2 scenario. Claire's helping him out just as much as he's helping her.

I really enjoyed seeing non-perfect Leon. He felt much more human in the trailer so far.

Hate to disappoint you all, but it happens to Claire instead if you're playing as her. If you watch the first trailer that was released, you'll see the same scenario from her perspective, except she's the one who is lying on the ground after the explosion, and Leon is the one asking her if she can get up.

=P

Which means that for Leon to be hit by the explosion, you have to be playing as Leon.

*basks in the bitter irony*

[Darkmoon]

That's fine by me. I like this version of Leon. It's the RE4 one liners that drive me nuts.

The fact that, at some point, Leon is seen making a mistake is a big boon in my eyes.

[GuardhouseMusic]

wut? I find it more ironic that my comment would still be valid, keeping what you're saying in mind. Besides, nowhere did I specifically refer to the exploding bus. I thought more along the lines of an even distribution of "watch out, Leon!" and "look out, Claire!" moments.

*smacks Archelon's proverbial dick out of my face*

[Jill's Boob]

Holy $#!* - this looks awful. Some terrifically bad remnants from REUC:

Puking zombies, horrendous dialogue ("I know it's a mess, but make yourself at home;" "Long time no see!"), and simplistic i.e. dull gameplay (which has supposedly been made even more simple).

The game looks bad (and not Michael Jackson "bad" either).

Really the only redeeming quality is the nostalgia from the redone settings.

Does not bode well that even the previewer, a noted RE fan, says the game blows.

Nobody was jumping up and down about it being Leon and Leon alone. It was Leon in the trailer, hence reactions to that happening including Leon's name in it. I just lol'd cause it was funny, not because it happened to ~OMG LEON~.

So, has anybody been able to figure out why there is sunlight coming through those windows at night time?

1. Spotlights
2. Laggy lightning flash
3. Raccoon City has no stable time continuum
4. The hall is "superdark", which makes everything else look brighter than it really is.

It's kind of hard to tell these days, since most people around here seem to take some sort of irrational pleasure in seeing something, anything, bad happen to Leon. I'd bet if it had happened to Claire in the video, it wouldn't have even gotten a mention.

No, wait, I take that back. If it had happened to Claire, people would complain about it happening to Claire instead of Leon, and would then blame Capcom for not daring to let anything bad happen to Leon because he's just too "perfect."

[Mr_Zombie]

I'd bet if it had happened to Claire in the video, it wouldn't have even gotten a mention.

Well... as you've mentioned in your previous post it actually did happen to Claire, in the first trailer, but no one noticed it or no one remembered about it
(actually, I wanted to write about it, but you were first)

So it seems that all those scripted scenes happen to whoever you are controlling in a single player mode (to all those Leon haters - if you play as Leon, he will trip over a Licker >_>). I'm curious how it will look in a co-op mode though - will both characters fall to the ground, or will there be no such scenes at all.

All I have to say is ... Steve fucking Burnside returns <3 8D

The scenes still occur during co-op, but they play out as if you were playing single player. I'm guessing which character's perspective you view it from depends on who is first player.
