GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, May 1, 2007

I just recently shelled out the cash to but the living legend itself and I didn't have to wait outside of a Target for 3 hours either.

It's far from what it's been hyped up to be I must say but it is a refreshing experience. Good games are on the horizion, one of which has caught my eye. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

I'm not the biggest fan of rail shooters and this is just one in the long line of Capcom's Survivor series which is mostly unreleased in NA except for a few titles. But I'm certainly a huge sucker for Capcom and an even bigger sucker for Resident Evil.

So here in lies my current problem... 

 

Turns out that the games producer, Masachika Kawata, has decided that the game is currently " Too complicated" for it's Wii customers and is in the process of "dummying" it up to make a wonderful experience for "all" Wii users.

As a Resident Evil and Capcom fan this is a bigger slap to the face than Sony's recent goat incedent.

 

Resident Evil has never been "easy", it's been about frustrating puzzles, limited ammunition amongst a plethora of enemies, bad voice acting(if only for the first game), and chainsaw wielding maniacs who just happen to qualify as brain surgeons.

And while the Wii has always been about promoting ease of use to introduce newer gamers, why constantly hold their hand and shelter them? You can't expect them to branch out into bigger and better things if you constantly coddle them with simplitic games.

 

While thats not to say the game itself will become nothing more than a rendation of Wii Sports. I hate the fact that an self proclaimed image will stem the growth of what might be a great game.

First off, you need to post more often.

Secondly, I'm pretty upset by that too. This is going to be the thing that keeps gaming from expanding at all: This constant and unrelenting need to talk down to people who aren't super hardcore. That doesn't create a large market, it creates fads like Wii Sports that sell a lot of hardware and fade fast when the non-gaming media moves on.
