Are you happy about the announcement from Capcom that another Resident Evil on-rails shooter for the Wii is in the works?

I was personally hoping for something along the lines of the Metal Gear Solid Collection. A box set with Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3: Nemesis, all for the price of one game. I also would have been down for a RE: Code Veronica remake. In the end, I would have preferred anything but another on-rails shooter, we'll see though. It could end up being a good game... at worst a good rental.

EDIT: When I made this topic / poll it added a post by me with nothing in it. I tried to delete it, and it's not going away for me. I'm not even sure if you guys can see it. Would this be a bug?

I love on-rail shooters! I'm surprised so many people on this site hate them. And the Wii is perfect for them, it really maintains that arcade feel without having to waste money a GunCon or something that can only be used for one game.

I'm all for some rails. And being on them. And shooting.

Why all these different threads, people could say if they like it here even if it's not specifically a question. Oh well:

"Personally, I'd also prefer a proper RE game, but I still like seeing all these lightgun shooters. The genre was dead, and it will be dead again soon enough, the more we get now to enjoy later until the next genre revival, the better. Virtua Cop was getting stale :P

This sounds promising with all the changes from the original. If only these lightgun game developers decided to include headtracking support..."

If it is good nothing else matters.

I'm not really a fan of rails shooters, but it suits the wii, so I'm a bit indifferent really.

No this is BS.

Well the first one wasn't too bad style and story wise, and rail shooters are always a blast to play with friends. So I guess it's ok. The Wii is, ahhh... it's a party friendly console, so anything with local-in-your-living-room-multiplayer is a fine addition... I guess.

I would have prefered a remake personally. Something with a little more meat around it than just a run-n'-gun.

a remake would have been better especially since the wii desperatly needs stuff like RE. I have Umbrella chronicles sat at home and I havent played it yet, I might actually break off from streetfighter, play that, then jump into killzone....

I couldn't care less.

I voted "Yes, I think"

If they can do something different with the genre... I'm in. If it's the same old, same old and then no, but I  dream and think different things will work on the Wii, only if you try them. House of Dead is just the start... Adventure games will return... Make it fun and they will come.

I just don't like the name the dark side chronicles, what part of RE is the light side chronicles is all pretty dark

I don't mind being on-rails, but I can't imagine the game being scary at all like that. I don't think it'll feel much like an RE game.
