Huh, I'd never heard of that. Well, the Remake is very good if you haven't had the chance to play it before, but presumably you can probably find the GC version for a few squid.
Cheers for the concept art link, btw, Jamie. Interesting stuff.

It's apparently GC controller compatible.

Recently stumbled across Resident Evil Archives for the Wii, which is essentially the GC REmake put on the Wii. Worth the purchase? Well I can Vouch for the RE1 Gamecube remake, I dunno about Wii versions though.

Just looked it up on Wiki:
So yeah, it looks like you may as well just try and nab the GC version and save a few bob. It is worth playing in some form or another, certainly.

Oi someone do Resi 5 on professional with me. I really would. I'm on the last chapter on veteran at a friends and I've done all but one part (that bit with the lickers and the snipers) with the AI. It's [censored]ing HORRIBLE.
I need a 360

That's because Resi 5 kinda sucks if you aren't playing it co-op. It's all about high fiving after every hard section. It's all about spending a day drinking and completing it for the second time. It's all about dieing on the last boss at 4am, for an hour with no idea why, until your friend realises he's been pressing the wrong button on that same quick-time-event every time. For an hour.

That's pretty much exactly what it was like on the first two times I completed it.
The game is so freaking good on co-op but otherwise it just fails.

I must be the only one who really enjoyed the single-player. I could no find a friend to play with!

I mean, I was fighting the first gattling gun majini and whenever I took cover she would seriously just stand there next to me. I could handle Resident Evil 0's AI, and Resi 4's AI was fine because Ashley simply stood behind you and you were protecting her, but Sheva is just terrible.

Eh. Seeing as they haven't really stuck with game lore at all throughout the movie franchise, I suppose I shouldn't really care if creatures from 4 and 5 make an appearance when Umbrella never had anything to do with them.
The only thing I'm hoping for is a kick-ass brawl between Alice and Wesker. If they at least manage that, I will be mildly satisfied.

Why? The first two were alright. No, the second one was awful. The first and third ones were alright in a very dumb way. This is a FACT, I have proven it with SCIENCE

Do you really want me to list all the reasons why you're wrong? No, because they'll be the same whiney, fanboy reasons that I've seen listed every time I have this argument and I don't want to have to go through the effort of countering every single one again.

No, because they'll be the same whiney, fanboy reasons that I've seen listed every time I have this argument and I don't want to have to go through the effort of countering every single one again.Then I'll just go through the ones that don't relate to the game franchise, the errors which make the movies bad as movies in general. 1. In RE: Genesis (going by the book title here since the first film didn't get a fancy sub-title), one of the Hive employees was decapitated in the lift, so she was the ONLY person to actually die and not become a zombie. Where was her body when the special ops team went in?
2. In Genesis and Apocalypse, there's absolutely no blood splatter when the zombies get shot.
3. In Genesis, what the [censored] happened to the bodies of the guys who were sliced up by the lasers? That question was raised in-film but never answered, and any answer is likely not to make sense anyway.
4. JD got pulled into a corridor FLOODED with zombies, they should have completely eviscerated him. But no, there was more than enough left for him to re-animate.
5. When Rain lost consciousness, she should have woken up as a zombie, but she had a precious few more minutes of humanity left. She shouldn't of had those minutes.
6. In Apocalypse, don't you think the T-virus spread a bit too fast? The whole incident lasted only twenty four hours.
7. In all of the films, the zombie dogs just look sooo cheap (even though it probably wasn't). They could have saved some time if they had used CGI or animatronics like they did with the Licker.
8. LJ. He should not have survived Apocalypse.
9. In Extinction, we see a lot of folks get killed by the Crimson Heads. How come none of them come back as zombies?
10. In Apocalypse, how did the corpses in the cemetery get infected with the T-virus? And how the hell can a virus infect something that's already been dead for so long?
11. Alice and her psychic powers. Okay, that's kind of a cool idea, but psychic super-soldiers just don't really seem to fit in a zombie movie.
12. Alice's clones. Now this is where the [censored] hits the fan. With so many Alices, the next Resi film is going to look like something Uwe Boll did. (Of course I'll still see it, after all I've seen all the other ones) Okay, I'm finished.

A lot of those are essentially blooper moments - lots of films have them. But the bodies can usually be explained by being dragged away and eaten by zombies. Also, don't see why the Rain thing has to be the way you say. There's nothing about consciousness losing and speeding up the zombification process in any lore I've read, Resi or otherwise. In Apocalypse, the infection had been going on for a while prior to the film's opening. It's evidenced in several places. Alice's psychic powers and clones made everything boring, it's true.

Super powers in a zombie movie do not belong. Simple as. Oh, and Nemesis turning into a good guy at the end of Apocalypse was just complete and utter [censored]. There's only one moment in any of these films that I recall liking, which was the crow attack in Extinction. Until Alice walked in and roasted them all being the unstoppable dues ex machina that she is.
God I hate these movies. I really do. Seriously, I can only think of maybe 2 decent films that Paul Anderson has done in his entire "career". Event Horizon and too a stretch Mortal Kombat (the first one and NOT the sequel)!

I think according to the book and Wikipedia, the Raccoon crisis only lasted a day. Either way, it didn't last as long as it did in the games, where it started with a small number of infections, then led to a few zombie sitings in the streets then zombies swarming through the city, which lasted the course of two weeks, I believe. As for the disappearing bodies, no zombies could have gotten into the corridor without going past the team first. And even if they could, zombies are slow and stupid so they would've still been noticed as the team retreated. Heck, they probably wouldn't have even moved, they would have just stayed and eaten the bodies there.

The disappearing bodies were meant to be a parody reference to the games where after you walked out of a room that you just killed a zombie in and then went back into it, the body would be gone.
