Still dont understand the hate Umbrella Chronicles got. It has been the best light gungame on the Wii so far (although im yet to play Overkill), better than both Ghost Squad and HOTD Return by a country mile.
As for Resident Evil, I was a huge RE fanboy until I realised that they decided they wanted to rip off 3rd person shooters rather than create a survival horror game. The lack of fear inducing moments in RE4 was bad enough, but people actually complained about the core mechanics that actually made the game scary. Outdated? So what if they were, it was the whole point.
You cannot have a random merchant selling you weapons in the middle of nowhere. You cant have virtually unlimited ammo on your firstplaythrough. Its not survival horror if you arent forced into confined spaces with fixed camera angles. Slow door openings increase tension, low ammo supply makes things even worse. The remake of the first one was one of the creepiest games ive ever played, and the graphics really showcased the abilities of the GC.
Im now planning on buying Resident Evil 5 purely to learn the story through cutscenes.
If they want tomake us happy, they can give us a new IP. Or something new instead of lazy ports. That being said, if they did a remake of RE 2, 3 or Code Veronica with enhanced graphics and extra plot elements like they did with the first one, I might be interested, although they would be a generation too late, it should have been done with the GC.
