These games were really good, honestly. Playing on hard was probably the main mistake, it probably expects you to already have some weapon upgrades before trying that one.
Taking even half a second to aim for headshots, rather than just randomly blasting away at the zombies' torso, probably would have helped a lot too. Also the pissing and moaning about Darkside Chronicles is ridiculous, given that by the end of the first mission, it should already be pretty obvious that the game will ebb and flow between the shaky-cam mode (basically glorified cutscenes) and shooter mode (where the enemies will actually hurt you). The game only expects players to be able to consistently land shots in shaky-cam mode when you're familiar enough with the game that you know the correct timing for reloading, rather than wasting your shots then be stuck with reloading while enemies attack.
@SuperFocusYT It's part of the intended gameplay loop. When you're not familiar with the game, you can pretty much treat these as just cutscenes, and use them as opportunities to take a breather while picking up the occasional item. Once you're familiar enough with the game, you can be a lot more active, and use these as a chance to rack up higher scores.
My mom woke me up around midnight one day with a brand new Wii, extra controller and this game. Called the school the next day saying I was sick to….As bad as the game may be, it’s a masterpiece.
I mean, honestly, if it's "bad," it wouldn't also be a "masterpiece." 😂 I could see it being nostalgic for you or even subjectively "good," but calling it "bad" and a "masterpiece" seems contradictory.
I remember being really, REALLY irritated at how they changed Alexia Ashford's personality in Darkside Chronicles, ESPECIALLY her attitude towards Alfred. The original game with her seeing a dying Alfred as her first sight when waking up, then calmly singing to him while naked as he's dying/dead and her tentacles attacked Claire and Steve; like that was ICONIC. It was creepy, disturbing, yet also sad cos twisted as it was, the twins loved each other. DSC turns Alexia into just a brat. Like it's not cathartic to fight her. In the game, and even in the freaking official comic AND novelisation of the game, Alexia was torturing Steve and Claire and not directly killing them cos she was upset at how they killed her brother. Now it's just that she's a brat and childish. I did like that Alfred's whole mental situation was better portrayed in DSC at least. It's a lot clearer and made less for laughs about his split personality problem. Better portrayed overall.
I’m currently replaying Darkside chronicles. The only thing I’ve been upgrading is the fire rate for the pistol. I remember playing this back in the day and this thing firing like an SMG and hitting like a shotgun.
Kevduit has a face?! This legit the first time I have seen ur face, as I say to all times a face is new to me, u look amazing! Also this is the first time i've ever seen someone actually have reason to use this Wiimote add-on.
I was just playing the PS3 versions of them like 2 days ago. Absolutely loved Darkside chronicles. Giving us operation Javier was awesome. Giving us all those background secrets was awesome for a diehard fan like myself.
It truly made RE4 hit harder after playing it again from playing Darkside chronicles. especially when you play as Krauser against Javier and you hear his prospective
@freeyourmind1529 i didn't get much because my disc for umbrella chronicles was actually cracked in the middle so I was surprised they took it but I sold that and metroid prime 3 and got about $15 i think. Like I said just needed some extra cash for space marine 2 so wasn't that bothered abt the money they gave me
@ ahh understandable. Hopefully they can do what they can to mend it if they plan on selling your copy and don’t price it at $25-$50 range lol. Also I hear you on needing cash for space marine 2. I had gotten the base edition on Xbox (the day after release I believe when they were still selling the base edition) after contemplating on the $69.99 price tag. A few days prior was my birthday and I got a $25 and $50 Xbox gift card and I figured it would only cost $72 odd dollars after tax, but no not only did it cost more and use my $75 dollars in Xbox credit, it actually was $75.75 and I had to pay for that extra $0.75 with my bank card 😂.
@@jollama for a cracked disc that probably doesn't work and a used copy of metroid prime 3? You think thats being lowballed lol. Look at what those sell at on price charting before saying anything
As a nearly life long RE fan, my bestie in high-school had never played any of them, and Darkside was how I introduced her to the series 😂 She came up with all kinds of names for the characters and monsters, and I remember em all. My fav was she called Leon "Ken." 😂 Looking back the game was pretty bad, but we had so much fun playing it that it didn't matter. So fun to see you play it! Brought back great memories and really helped me see it without rose tinted glasses!
Umbrella Chronicles is utterly BRUTAL! Critical hits are a must, and the hit box might as well be the size of a pin! Darkside Chronicles was a more easier but still had its difficult moments. All in all, their both great games and worthy titles for any die hard Resident Evil fans to have in their collection.
Honestly I played racoon city and it was pretty enjoyable I've only played through once but still don't think it's really bad as most say it is ( will say I played solo)
Both Chronicles games are fantastic. Both make great use of both motion controls and the aiming. Its also great that they're rail shooters, since they offer great replayability and eas of use.
Nah man, Darkside Chronicles was amazing, it actually had so much content and replay value to it, playing either on hard isn't smart unless you know the controls and a basic idea of what to expect. They actually was super fun, only downside of them was i destroyed several zappers by jamming the B button but rapid pressing for hours. My sister used to play with me, got her into RE as a series, though she enjoyed destroying the map and saw the zombies as a inconvenience (she loved destroying stuff could give gold or items... for some reason was her thing). good times. The Wii was a odd console but it had some innovative ideas and brought some fun unique experiences like light guns, which was pretty rare after sega died.
I'm a huge fan of Resident Evil so when I heard about these games I had to by and play them. I really liked them and still play them to this day on my refurbished WiiU using an mCable to upscale the visuals on my TV.
I always loved then some games said on the back that they were compatible with the gun accesory. They all were, its just a holder for the nunchuk and wii mote.
My father got me into Resident Evil with Umbrella Chronicles. Since then I loved the franchise and absorbed the lore. I played with him, using the wii remotes and had so much fun! Also, my wii remotes didn't have a bad target reticle. I could say the line of "September 30th, 1998." Because it sorta was that way for me LMAOOO. + Billy and Rebecca were my favorites. I wish Capcom would give them more love and care someday, missed potential characters there.
Some of the best titles out there! The abridged storyline melded between the new ones was _peak_ writing. These games are like *HOUSE OF THE DEAD* on steroids. _(i own _*_HOTD_*_ 2 & 3 on the wii as well)_ *EDIT* Failing to adapt to the camera is a _legitimate_ skill issue
The RE Chronicles Gun Stock. Thats great for Wii RE4. 2nd best way vs PSVR2 RE4R is Best way to play in general. Ponder if we'll ever see both RE:Chronicles & Darkside Chronicles return on ps5 VR2.
30:35 😂 Back then I didn't even have a move controller. Did the entire thing with a normal ps3 controller. Wasn't my best decision.. Yet I Forced my best friend to do it couch co-op with me. Memories, I tell u
Resident Evil Umbrella & Darkside are such great Wii games. It’s like House of The Dead meets RE. Whats great is Code Veronica you can see what a remake would look like in some form with different graphics.
I love the first one! Umbrella Chronicles slaps, on your end it's a skill issue. But you're right about Darkside Chronicles, worst camera ever for a rail shooter
I played these games as a kid didn’t have the zapper and just held the remote as normal and they were so much fun and what really got me into the resident evil series that and the original re release on the ds with all the old cheesy dialogue
I remember playing umbrella chronicles as a kid because we had nothing better for the Wii. I remember it being a lot easier if you don't use the Wii gun thing he was fiddling with at the start
Speaking of Wii games, I wanna see you play modern warfare reflex edition. It’s cod 4 but it’s optimized for the Wii and it’s meant to be played with the zapper

Not sure but I think ps3 only got the games digital in North America, but Europe/Japan has a dual game physical release.
resident evil is a video game equivalent of a average day in downtown LA.

Nah. Florida is paradise anymore.
Maybe more like NY or LA.
this game is inspired by Florida man’s adventures.

Ngl i actually love darkside chronicles it's such an awesome game imo
I just bought Umbrella Chronicles for 75 cents at a charity shop. Fun coincidence, that.
This is like watching a toddler play their first game...
Now this is great content
I loved these rail shooter games. My favorite is Deadstorm Pirates, on the PS3 Time Crisis disc. Great fun with the PS Move.

Every Wii title that's part of a greater series, from other consoles, feels like complete fever dreams.
Except call of duty. Unlike earlier Nintendo call of duty titles, call of duty was just call of duty with motion controls.
That rollercoaster camera is something else. Thank you kev for your dedication to shaky camera games
