ehm Jill??? it's probably mistake, but what if.....god no!!!!!

RETDC retraces the steps of Leon, Jill, Steve and Claire through the terrifying ordeals of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code Veronica but does so from a whole new perspective.

That means that Chris won't be playable? And Jill is probably a typo.

My God I hope so.

Seems like the editor has Jill on the mind, or wants her in the game too. I can't blame him for forgetting Chris's existence though. It's an easy mistake.

I think that means nothing at all...

JILL NOT IN RETDC

Sorry, but as the more alert of you will have already realised Jill Valentine is not in Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles as stated in the last e-mail we sent you. The playable characters in the game are Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield & Steve Burnside.
Apologies for any confusion.

ehm what about Chris????????

Fuck Yes!

This has certainly brightened my day up. So Chris is only in cutscenes I guess. XD

[Dark_Chris]

nah I still believe he will be playable character

Jesus Christ...first you immediately hop on the Jill is in the game bandwagon, even though it is obviously a typo, then you backpedal and hop on the Chris is not in the game bandwagon, even though the same information is just a brief listing of the cast.

Not mentioned:

- Ada, Sherry, Chris, Wesker, Alexia, Alfred, etc. Not to mention Spoiler:

show spoiler

Krauser

And obviously the spoiler tagged individual will be playable in the South American levels. And Claire needs someone else to be playable alongside her in the post-Steve levels of RECV.

What footage shown has not displayed 2 characters at a time? None. This game is geared toward a co-op experience.

Sometimes you are too crazy...

As for the zapper - that piece of crap plastic contraption actually made the game more difficult to play.

I knew it was a typo. I was just laughing at it. And there were single player parts in UC were there not? And DSC is definitely gonna be heavily abridged. And it is made by the same guys that made UC. Claire's part after Steve dies could possibly be in single player.

I mean when capcom forgets Chris, TWICE! It means there are serious problems with his character. Or that he's not in the game.

[Dark_Chris]

he is in the game

look at the last trailer

[Jill's Boob]

Except that they "forgot" him all the way until the most recent trailer. It seems to me that surprises are kept as secrets for as long as possible (even though anyone with a modicum of common sense knew he'd be in the game). Judging from the positive reaction (aside from you) to his 2 second appearance, I'd say that was Capcom's goal.

But, using your logic, I guess since Jill was "forgotten" repeatedly until the second-to-last RE5 trailer, that she also has serious problems with her character. Zing! Expect more Chris footage in subsequent DSC trailers.

And yes, there were single character levels on REUC, but that game didn't have online co-op, which I believe DSC will have implemented. So 2 characters onscreen is probably an aim of Capcom. Also, RECV would not even be possible without Chris. How many times do people have to say it? Claire's entire presence in the game (not to mention her ability to be rescued and escape in a plane) revolves around Mr. Redfield.

[Dark_Chris]

no DSC didn't have online co-op

[Sephiroth]
