RE: The Darkside Chronicles Famitsu - TOFU Confirmed!

[xfactor]

The Famitsu scans has been leaked and here we have 2 scans of The Darkside Chronicles. As you can see from the scans, both Claire and Leon will have at least 2 alternate costumes. Most importantly, we are now able to confirmed that the legendary yet long-forgotten "TOFU" is back.

Click on the pictures above to access the bigger size version of them.

*UPDATE*
Unfortunately it seems like Tofu might not be actually playable this time, but more of a new skin for the zombie or something. The only thing confirmed is that it will be an enemy.

one of the most bizarre things to occur in an RE game.

[Ray]

TOFU!!??? TOFU!!!! HOLY GOD TOFU!!!!



...

NO!!! IT'S HUNK!! RUN, TOFU!!! RUN!!!


Wow. I'm really glad they brought him back. Nostalgia seems to be coming back from evreywhere!

[BrionIrons]

I thought Capcom forgot about our beloved Tofu.I guess I was wrong.Tofu was one of my favorites in RE2.

[Bianca]

Ooooh, alternate outfits. They'd be more fun if this wasn't an on-rails shooter, but I'm still stoked we get bonus costumes.

Haha, Tofu. I'm very surprised. That's some major nostalgia right there.

[Beanovsky Durst]

YESSSSSSSS! GIMME BONUS SCENARIOS!!!

Tofu, oh shit, that's vintage right there! I can't wait for this to come out.

[Yama]

I almost wish I didn't know this, wow... great! I'm not sure how much skill it'll take this time around, maybe just a broken wrist. Either way love seeing it!

*UPDATE*

Unfortunately it seems like Tofu might not be actually playable this time, but more of a new skin for the zombies.

I'll take it anyway, a nod to the original is well appreciated.

[Kei_M]

Alternate Steve and Krauser too please~ :]

I'm a little surprised they wouldn't give Claire her original outfit as a bonus one...her 'cowgirl'? outfit looks really ugly :/ but I guess it's hard to tell.

BTW if anyones curious:

Claire's outfits: Western + Biker
Leon's outfits: Biker + Agent

[Stu]

These aren't scans!!!11!1

[Carnivol]

Big_Stu's right. These aren't "scans" (they're camera shots of a magazine)

Who can we blame for this anyway? I see a lot of people calling anything involving a picture of a print a "scan" these days.

Also, c'mon, Tofu was not entirely forgotten by Capcom. They even spoke about him in public during the media updates for Bionic Commando, here's one sample:

Ichirou Mizuki is really a great guy. Not only has he been on the anime scene for 40 years, he is an avid gamer and the first time I met him he was telling me about how he liked playing as Tofu in Resident Evil 2. I mean, in order to unlock Tofu, he must have been pretty hardcore!

Cool to see him in a new game, though.

By the way, am I the only one who first thought Claire's "cowgirl/western" outfit was a Mexican woman with a sombrero on her back? (like, before reading the kana)

[Stu]

Please, call me Big Stu, Big_Stu sounds so informal.

Or even just Stu!

[Carnivol]

But... but... Stu you!

(Actually, I didn't notice there was an actual space there, 'cause the darned forum puts a big fat line underneath all names. Sorry 'bout that. Also, I see now that a _ appears beneath the line, if present.)

[Yzak]

From what I can see the alt outfits look really good.

ALSO I CAME TOFU UPON SEEING ... TOFU. Omfg. ♥

[thane]

what SHOULD be in the game

1.ashford sub scenario,sub scenarios in general
2.movie gallery for all cuscenes in the game
3. 100% new files that will replace the old,known,boring files we know.
4.alexia vs wesker

what we know we have so far

1.model gallery[yay..]
2.alt customes[double yay...]
3 useless online rankings[..]
4 skins for the zombies[oh wtf]

it just that from talking evil blog you can say the game is aimed at the resident evil fans more than just being "a rail shooter in re world" sadly with every useless addition i start to question that..lets hope the scenarios themself are really long and fun
