I've never played any RE game, so I guess now is a good time to get started...right?

I'm still questioning why Code Veronica, of all the classic style games, is getting another re-release. Couldn't it be better served releasing the Gamecube remake of the first game? Otherwise, sure. Whatever. Resident Evil is cool.

A pretty cool montage, though shame that all this new Resident Evil is less than ideal for me.
 

  • HD remakes, of games I already own two copies of each, with no extras? Bleh  
  • Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D+Revelations? Certainly the highlights of the bunch, but no 3DS =/ 
  • Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City? Mayuuun, fuck that.

TBH, I just can't Weskers current VA seriously anymore after watching this:

  
  
It's hilarious n all, but it's completely left his voice as nothing but ''that funny parody of Wesker''

Thats alot of Resident Evil... I'd like a remake of Resident Evil 2 in HD better than any others though - with all the B-sides, that would be pretty sweet.

Kind of glad to see the rumors of the next RE games returning to the "classic" style instead of the RE4/RE5 style are false. If I want another snoozefest backtrack-to-the-generator-to-turn-on-the-elevator-so-you-can-do-more-block-puzzles game, I'll play... well, no, I won't play anything. I'll play a game that's actually fun instead.

I've wanted to play the remake again so badly. You would think they'd have sense enough to know a move like that is pretty much guaranteed success. Still no chance of it happening though.

I had rather hoped they would continue the RE:Archives series of re-releases, but keeping those on the Wii just isn't where I want to play them. Finally tried Darkside Chronicles the other week, and kept thinking I would totally give both the Chronicles a shot on the PS3/Move.

Interesting that the trailer says Xbox Live Games on Demand for Veronica and 4. I wonder if this means 1000 Gamerpoints and an increased price?

I love the Idea of just putting it all in one trailer, It's relevant to more audiences and you get a clear view of what they are doing with the ip

Yeah, it's Wesker's current VA, D.C Douglas. He voiced Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles, and Resident Evil 5 as well.

Wait? Is Jill in the 3DS version brown hair again? Well that's a good sign.


I wouldn't mind getting Code Veronica X ( never played it) and RE4 ( because I don't know what happened to my GCN version)

Never played 5 and might not play any of the newer games. I've become quite detached from the RE games because for me the story just seams to be all over the place.

It's funny cause Code Veronica is the only game in the series which I own but can't play cause I don't have my PS2 anymore. Played RE4 last year so don't need that but Revelations could be the sweet although it looks like it might be 3DS?

That's meant to be because Revelations is a prequel to RE5. Still, minus the reasoning of it all, it is nice to have her back to brunnet, I agree :P

It's true the chronology of the series is a fucking disaster at this point too. No doubt the reason as to why they're just releasing HD re-releases, prequels and spin offs, since it's a hell lot easier than trying to work around the fiction they created, and royally boned. Just give us that damn RE6 reboot or whatever you had planned!

It's about time they bring out a L4D style of game in Operation Raccoon.  Can't wait to play it.

This a million times over. That is basically the biggest Stone Cold Steve Austin middle finger Capcom can give to the people left that they can call fans.
