Umbrella The Biohazard Archives Book Revised Edition Information

[xfactor]

It is now confirmed that the Umbrella The Biohazard Archives Book Revised Edition is the same book released few years back. It is not a simple reprint though. The price has been reduced, and the size of the book is smaller so you can bring it around easier.

The book is scheduled for release in Japan on Feb 18 2010.

Nevermind price and size...those are entirely different layouts altogether from what's in my copy.

The pictures in the above link match up 1:1 with the Japanese Archives book. In the English release an entirely different colour scheme was used, as well as layouts and things. The only difference I can see is Archives written on the front in katakana (アーカイブス） which isn't present on the earlier edition/s.

Aaah my bad then. Shame, looks nice!

It's a shame that they went to a whole lot of work with the formatting of the English version, then left in glaring spelling and grammar mistakes.

Let's hope they reprint the english book too.

The book is not smaller at all.

Its weird as both links claim that the revised edition is smaller.

What grammar mistakes? Maybe you should go back and play RE3 again.

It is actually the Umbrella Resident Evil Countermeasure Service.

... That was the one that stood out the most, to me.

My personal fave is in the RE2 precis, when Birkin is detected on the train.

"Warning. A Resident Evil has been detected on this train..."

page 54.

Almost all the even pages have 'RESIDENT EVIL 0' written in the header from pg 205 to 243. Lots lots more I'm sure you've found

That was the best thing I've ever read.
