[edit] New information?

there was a massive edit earlier with "new information". there was no source given, and it sounds like speculation/vandalism. even if it is true, it'll need sources, rephrasing and spelling & editing. Djchallis 22:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

i thank the users who tidied up the gameplay section, but we still have no sources for it, and it looks like pure speculation. we should either find a source to back it up or take it out. Djchallis 09:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
ive deleted the gameplay section, as i believe it to be simply speculation. i am quite new here, so if anybody with more experience than me can think of a good reason to put it back, you can just undo the edit, although the section would still need a source and some serious rephrasing and editing to be of an encyclopedic standard. Djchallis 22:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Series or Spinoff?

I was wondering, did Capcom confirm at E3 '06 that this untitled Resident Evil Wii project is going to be apart of the official canon? If not, I believe it needs to be placed in the 'Spinoffs' category until further notice. Thanks for your time. -- Unregistered user, 05:21 PM, 13 May 2005

I dont think this game would be part of the main series, it's more like of Gun Survivor--2hot4u2handle 01:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Just thinking that it might be a spinoff may not be enough evidence. --Thaddius 15:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Personally I believe this to be of the main series, especially since it is a chronicle of Umbrella Corp. If it is this won't be the first main series Biohazard game without a number. But we will see. -- JC, 21:16, 13 September 2006 (GMT)

From the looks of the informtion releasd so far, the game looks to be part of official canon, taking place in the gaps between and in the main series. So while it is a spinoff of sorts, it's also definitely part of the main series, unlike the Gun Survivor series. We'll see when it comes out. Kelvingreen 08:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I have read (on Capcom Europe I believe) that it's part of the main games, and it's taking part between CVX and RE4... CrushNush 19:37, 2 April 2007(UTC)
It should be considered a main series game, because it involves the prime factor behind all (with the exclusion of RE4) RE games ever, Umbrella Corp. Umbrella is the factor that caused the whole series to begin, so a game dedicated to the story behind Umbrella, wouldn't be a spinoff, but rather a main series game. C. Pineda 00:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Well pretty much all of the Resident Evil spinoffs had something to do with Umbrella. I consider it a spinoff since its not a conventional survival horror game like RE0-4 and RECV. Jonny2x4 19:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, it all depends on how you define "spin off". In terms of gameplay, then yes, it looks to be a spin off. But in terms of story, then no, it's not a spin off; it's part of the main series, and deals with the storyline of the main series. Frankly, I'd go with the latter. Kelvingreen 18:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Termination

On the List of Wii games this game is listed as 'Resident Evil: Termination'. If there is sufficient evidece of this being it's real name this page should be moved. --Thaddius 18:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

It's named The Umbrella Chronicles now. C. Pineda 19:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, the name for sure is Chronicles.--Mmmundo 03:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I move that this entire article just be eradicated. Since nearly every sentence is an unsourced statement, iffy declaration, or obvious fanon, this "article" really has no facts to constitute its existance. Anyone agree? -Power Slave 04:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope. It was officially announced by Capcom and it looks like screenshots are starting to appear. Blork 18:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

The Story and Gameplay section better see some sources soon or I'll have to delete all unverified claims. 199.126.137.209 00:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

That and User:199.126.137.209 will cry. Just wait amonth or so, new developments will come up, I promise. --Thaddius 15:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First person?

The Nintendo announcement video contains around 2 seconds of the remake mansion in first person flash video- near the endAtirage 12:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New image?

In the latest issue of Nintendo Official Magazine (uk), they detail the games they are looking forward to in 2007. For RE:UC there was a picture of the mansion with japanese writing pointing to certain points. Is this a genuine image? Should I put it on the article as the first confirmed screen. I'll do it unless anyone says otherwise. 86.143.95.93 20:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

That was me by the way, I forgot ot sign in. Bendragonbrown47 20:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Details & Plot

The statement about the game being composed of two parts and one being set between the events of CODE: Veronica and Resident Evil 4 is simply wrong. The only ever Famitsu article that was released can be seen here (Japanese version) and here (Chinese version. That article doesn't contain specific details on the game. It simply says that it's an exclusive title for the Nintendo Wii. The only article that can be considered a reliable source is from the Chinese magazine Game Next. It confirms that the game will be split up into several chapters from the games and that it will fill in plot holes and shed more light on Umbrella's activities. This is seconded by Paul Gale, a journalist from 1UP, who confirmed this to me via a message.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is well underway for Wii and you should hear more about it on April 12th. As for the storyline of the game, you will be revisting parts of Resident Evils 1-4, learning of some previous secrets, and getting a better grasp as what is Umbrella's involvement in the whole RE universe. I don't know how much will be at Capcom's Gamers Day, but you should learn some more about the story and see new footage.

He can be considered a reliable source, too, because he knew Devil May Cry 4 will be released on Xbox360 one day before the official press release from Capcom (which was on March 20th).

The rumour about the story taking place between CODE: Veronica and Resident Evil 4 originated from the Japanese gaming site Quiter (translation) and is purely speculative. That article just says that the game will be canon and thus part of the main series. Soon everyone else adopted the speculation as fact. Even Matt Cassamasina from IGN, altough he explicitly stated that he didn't get any information from Capcom.

Capcom's American branch has remained reluctant to speak about the game, since details generally come from Japan first or, alternatively, are announced worldwide at official events, such as the company's forthcoming Gamers Day. We've got our fingers crossed for more.

I will remove any unverified claims till more information is released on Capcom Gamer's Day.

Thanks for looking through the article and removing the fancruft. Remember that Wikipedia does not consider forums and blogs as Reliable Sources according to their Reliable Sources policies. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  16:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ada and HUNK?

Where is the evidence that they will be in the game? Has a new video been released? Please put the link I want to see!

Come to think of it, I do not know of such a link. Unless it was that magazine scan.--  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  04:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Some new renders have been leaked by the german site Resident Evil Virus and they show a new render of HUNK and a mysterious Tyrant in white outfit, here are the link to them: http://www.resident-evil-virus.de/newsfolder/hunkgetagtt.jpg & http://www.resident-evil-virus.de/newsfolder/ucenemygetaggt.jpg

Respecting Ada, she appears briefly in the new trailer (Capcom's Gamers Day, October 2007) -- CrushNush 20:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC) Heres all the proof youll need to know that Ada's in the game http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/BlindsideDork/hunk-kind-of-confirmed-in-umbrella-chronicles--50007.phtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beasley23803 (talk • contribs) 05:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nintendo Power

The newest Nintendo Power said it will feature all 8 playable characters from 0,1,2, and 3. The article says only six or so. the others need to be put in. user:BioYu-Gi! June 19, 2:25p.m.

Thats cool - do you have a source for this though?--Mmmundo 13:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, there are really only six playable characters in the main series RE games: Jill, Chris, Rebecca, Claire, Leon, and Billy. If you count temporary plot-based characters, then you also get Sherry, Ada, Carlos, and Ashley, plus Hunk if you count Fourth Survivor. Also, the Wii edition of RE4 has a trailer of Umbrella Chronicles that prominently features footage from REv.2, RE0, and RE3 at a minimum. How would one go about using that trailer as a source to support the games covered by Chronicles? --Soldancer
I believe when they mentioned 8 characters, they counted Jill 2 times (RE1 and RE3) and Carlos--User:CrushNush 13:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC -4)
Sorry for the late reply, but it makes sense. In Zero, theres Billy and Rebbecca, In RE theres Chris and Jill (Rebbecca already counted), in RE2 theres Clare, Leon, Ada, and Sherry, and is RE3 theres Carlos (Jill already counted). Since there no mention of 4, or any other RE, that would be all eight characters (Minus Sherry, most likely)Dengarde 05:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ada is clearly in this game watch this video and [url]http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/BlindsideDork/hunk-kind-of-confirmed-in-umbrella-chronicles--50007.phtml[/url] almost towards the end, Wesker says, " It is in our best interest that you survive, the G-Virus sample is required or something like that" Any way he's telling this to a women, "you can only see her upper body". she is in a red dress and her arms are wrapped in bandages she's also carrying the G-Virus, also that thing ada used in resident evil 4 to jump to high places its looks like it is given to that lady —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beasley23803 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I see no way to get Ada out of that. Anyone could wear a red dress, Those bandages could be anything, I never say a grapple hook, and again, the G-virus could mean anything. I have no doubt thats it's Ada, but looking at this movie, theres no way to prove it. Dengarde ► Complaints 05:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

<Personal attack against User:Dengarde, removed by User:Dengarde>, who else but Ada Wong was hired by Wesker to steal the G-Virus and then wears a red dress-and its a female, and he talks about keeping her alive, dont forget she died and was saved by wesker in Resident Evil 2- Are you serious, <Personal attack against User:Dengarde, removed by User:Dengarde> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.8.88 (talk) 23:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I could do without the personal attack, thank you. But like I said, I have no doubt that It's Ada. But a simple glimpse of a woman's chest is not proof that it's Ada. As for what Wesker said, We don't know what the game holds. Could by anyone. Chances are it's Ada, but it could be anyone. Dengarde ► Complaints 23:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tara Platt / Valentine / Red Queen

I'd take the info on her website with a grain of salt, considering that she first states that she played Jill Valentine in a "japanese only release Biohazard". Eh????? Parjay 13:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

What's the point of even mentioning it in the plot section. It belongs in a Cast/Characters section if anything --►ShadowJester07  13:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Further on this, I emailed Tara Platt and she responded with this information:

Actually there is a game - it is an arcade/casino game, so it isn't a typical gaming platform - that is available in Japan, called Biohazard. I played Jill Valentine in this game, which we recorded last year. The client even said that I'd have to visit Japan in order to get to play it.

As for RE: UC, I did not play Jill Valentine (although many sites are claiming that I have/did/will). I recorded Red Queen a few weeks ago.

Hope this helps.

Best - Tara Parjay 17:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I got nearly the same e-mail yesterday. Maybe she should add detailed information on her website to avoid getting dozens of e-mails regarding that subject every day... Well, I tried to add the new character to the plot section (because somehow I feel like appearing characters are important to the plot of a game, duh! -_-) but ShadowJester won't let me since he apparently owns Wikipedia and has a different opinion, yet not the decency to create a character section himself but just deletes new and credible information (see mine and his talk pages). Prime Blue 04:07, 26 June 2007 (GMT)
It's not that its my own opinion, its almost half of the VG encyclopedia. See all the FA-status articles in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games (StarCraft, Final Fantasy X, Half-Life 2, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask). Basically, you'd just end up creating characters/cast page with only one verified credit, the equivalent to making a sandwich, and only putting one thing inside; its unsubstantial :p . It's not my fault it took you almost two days to grasp WP:Cite. ;) I've got better things to do on here than dig up information, create lengthy tables using Wikipedia's annoying coding, and then verify the information. --►ShadowJester07  09:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, I really don't care anymore. Have it your way. You win, Wikipedia loses. Prime Blue 07:12, 28 June 2007 (GMT)

Is the Red Queen even a part of the video game continuity? I thought the Red Queen only appeared in the films. Hotdoglives 05:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is now. Parjay 11:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official Cover

Go to this link to copy the cover and put it on the main page instead of the logo. I don't know how to upload pictures so someone else do it! http://shop.capcom.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=capcomus&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=71188000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.218.159.208 (talk • contribs)

Thats not the official cover. Many stores and websites simply put the logo on a picture of a blank box and use it as a filler. Including the official sites themselves. It'd be no different then what the article has now. Dengarde 04:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems more like a beta cover. Japan's and the USA's Biohazard cover arts usually have characters in them. It could be, however, that the PAL version boxes will closely resemble that one. Prime Blue 07:10, 28 June 2007 (GMT)

Yesterday I read this thread on capcom's BBS: http://ww2.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=19596. After corroboration from the Capcom employed site Administrators, it is safe to assume we have the official cover art: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1068/1439414137_22b89e9f05_o.jpg I'll upload and edit it now.

Gah uploaded reduced version... let me go about fixing thatWildodeelf 20:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

On wiki, it's never safe to assume anything. I've seen various drafts of the image, with no reliable source stating that this would the used edition. Regardless, the image in question from flickr is "all rights reserved". We can ONLY use images sourced from flickr that have a Creative Commons license. This does not. We'll have to wait until Capcom release it properly, before it can be used. Parjay ► Talk 21:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
If you don't think that the administrators employed by Capcom, including the owner of that flickr account aren't a source reliable enough for Wiki I'll bow to your wikixperiance and keep the logo as the game's image. I'm not terribly impassioned about the boxart, I just perceived the source sufficient, apparently in error. Wildodeelf 12:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
As mentioned, reliable or not, it can't be used as it is a non-Creative Licensed image; we'll have to wait until it's revealed/released officially. And no, I don't consider the admin of a forum a reliable source. Parjay ► Talk 12:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showpost.php?p=353891&postcount=13 Is that confirmation enough to put the official cover up? It is a from a forum, but then again, it's a statement from a Capcom employee. I honestly don't know, so I won't edit the cover back in. Prime Blue 22:06, 26 September 2007 (GMT)

I'd say yes. It seems to be the official Capcom forums, and an admin approved it (Looking at other posts in the thread) but I'm not sure it would be entirely concrete evidence. Dengarde ► Complaints 14:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
It's been added now we have a source at gamespot (at the usa only site so far). Parjay ► Talk 23:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carlos Oliveira edit war

Hey folks, rather than just reverting back and forth, let's come to consensus on whether Carlos Oliveira should be listed as a confirmed character or not, and move forward. If the edit warring continues, I will have to request that the article be protected. -- MisterHand 16:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Other than the fact that 75.105.128.57 has only removed Carlos' name twice (over two days), I do not see any signs of an edit war. I believe his character's role in UC was confirmed in a Nintendo Power article. Unless someone has a source from Capcom or Nintendo that supersedes the NP article (See WP:RS), I do not think Carlos' name should be removed. --►ShadowJester07  17:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Exactly, there is no war. Also, you can hear Carlos talking to Jill in her RE3 section of the latest trailer. Parjay 17:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

I have given the proper sources 2 times, citing the direct source the second time (Famitsu magazine). When I finally give the proper source (a.k.a mag) it's deleted becasue "not everyone can read Japanese"... numbers in every language are the same and in the top of the second scan it clearly said 11/15. And since this is a japanese mag, the editors put the date for their own territory. So please don't delete it once again, thanx. CrushNush 21:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm removing it again. Firstly, check whether we can use tinypic as an image host. Will the image still be up tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Secondly, you are guessing. That's no good, we need a reliable source that states that is the Japanese release date. Yes it's a Japanese magazine, but they also publish release dates for other territories. Also take into account that RE games historically tend to be released in the USA before Japan. Parjay ► Talk 22:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • sigh* It's the Japanese release date man, I can cite you what it says but it's all in japanese and then it'll be deleted (again) 'cause almost no one would understand. If I translate it it'll be deleted too 'cause it's not the direct source... CrushNush 14:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. CrushNush, I'm getting sick of repeating the same reasons just to have you add the information back anyway. Please get a reliable source for the information. I've just check the usual reliable sites and not one has reported any information on this release date yet. Again, cite a reliable source which clearly states what territory the game release date is for THEN add it back up. IF you add it back again without a source despite all the reasons you've gotten beforehand, I'm going to report it as vandalism. Parjay ► Talk 15:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Would it help to get an editor who can read Japanese to tell us exactly what it says? Famitsu is, after all, a reliable source, as far as I know, and non-English sources are permitted here when no English equivalent yet exists. Grandmasterka 17:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
No, as that editor would not be a reliable source. What if he is mistaken etc. Yes, Famitsu is of course a reliable source, and non-English sources are permitted, but the problem we have here is stating what the source reads; we can't. At the moment, we have no reliable source stating whether the date given is the Japanese release (probable), or another territory. I also find it strange that five days have passed and not one of the usual reliable source gaming sites have picked it up. Parjay ► Talk 17:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
The editor doesn't have to be a reliable source... If there's any doubt about their interpretation of a reliable source, you can ask someone else. We do have a Good Article that uses almost all foreign-language references. But your point about other gaming sites is valid. I still think it couldn't hurt to ask, and I might do so in the next couple days... Grandmasterka 17:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Still won't make a difference, as that'd be original research, no? Sure it would work for us, but what when a reader or another editor comes along, reads the information and find it not to be cited properly? Back to square one. I believe it should only be added when we can find a good citation of the translated information. Again, considering that zero sites have one is troublesome. Parjay ► Talk 17:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Wouldn't be original research, because anyone can verify it (you just have to know how to read Japanese.) If it were, then we couldn't use anything other than English. But I guess it's not that big a deal, and I'm done here for now. If anyone still cares, User:Nihonjoe is the one editor I know who's reasonably proficient in Japanese. Also, possibly User:Calton. Grandmasterka 17:45, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not so sure. If only people fluent in Japanese reading can confirm the source, then obviously not everyone can verify it. This is the English wiki after all. I don't think for wiki readers we should be taking the stance of: "You can't read the source? Tough, you'll have to believe me". Parjay ► Talk 17:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Well it appears as though on the right track. An editor translation is undesired going by : Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to other language sources of equal calibre. However, do give references in other languages where appropriate. If quoting from a different language source, an English translation should be given with the original-language quote beside it. and In principle, readers should have the opportunity to verify for themselves what the original material actually said, that it was published by a credible source, and that it was translated correctly. We still do not have a translation to cite with verifiability. Parjay ► Talk 18:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mansion door blasted.jpg

Image:Mansion door blasted.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] New Character

According to Famistu, the new character's name is Colonel Sergei Vladimir. He is an executive of Umbrella Inc. and started Umbrella's special forces unit U.B.C.S. According to scans of the article, he and Wesker have a showdown at Umbrella's stronghold (the last part of the game.) As you can tell from his name, he is Russian and began to work for Umbrella when Russia collapsed. He is always referred to as "Colonel." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.130.57.149 (talk) 00:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Details of the final level and the Resident Evil 3 section of the game.

I added info about the last level of the game. Unfortunately, I do not know how to cite sources! If someone could help me do that, it would be a big help. Also, I added that The RE3 portion of the game will have areas taken form the RE:Outbreak series. This can clearly can be seen in the trailer included wiht Resident Evil 4:Wii Edition. It shows "In front of Apple Inn". Plz dont delete these things! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.37.88 (talk) 20:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC) 151.203.37.88 20:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leon and Claire (see below)

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before. This is the first time that I have submitted anything to a discussion page. Anyway, I have seen a couple of sources stating that Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield would be playable characters in The Umbrella Chronicles (like the Nintendo Power article in Issue 217). Could somebody please find a reliable source that either confirms or denies this absolutely and post it to the article?? Thanks. 71.237.226.3 05:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

If you have seen sources for this information, then Im sure you wont mind posting them here : ) - Noj r 09:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure. One is here. [1] The other is the article (its title eludes me) from Nintendo Power Issue 217. (If anything is wrong about the citation, I am sorry. I'm new to the editing business.) 71.237.226.3 20:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The first one can't be used, seeing as it's just a blog from a random gaming site. As for Nintendo Power, If you could provide a scan, that would be perfect. I'll try and so if I can find it myself later today though, trusting it's the most current issue. Dengarde ► Complaints 20:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

As soon as I can work a scanner, I shall try to get the picture in (I do not know how to submit a picture onto Wikipedia, so it may not be today). Also, 217 is not the most current issue of Nintendo Power. I believe 220-something or other is current (Issue 217 was from July 2007). 71.237.226.3 20:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

You can just submit it to photobucket or something then, we don't needed it to be on Wikipedia in order to use it. As for the issue number, Well if thats the case then I can't get it, I'm not subscribed and the store only has the most current issue. I would apreciate it though, maybe then we could clear things up. Dengarde ► Complaints 20:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't know how to submit a picture at all. However, I shall make a huge effort (I have been busy the past few days) to get the info in one way or another. 71.237.226.3 20:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody have the issue that we are talking about?? If so, then please send us a scan of page 35 (I'd do it myself, but I don't know how). 71.237.226.3 21:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
You don't have to beat yourself up over it, it's being released tomorrow anyways. We'll probably know then. Dengarde ► Complaints 23:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
You are definently right :). This whole topic was more of a personal curiosity then anything else (Leon is my favorite RE character). Anyway, tomorrow it is then. All shall be revealed. 71.237.226.3 23:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Book information probably should be moved

It's just cluttering the article up in my view. This article should be for the video game only, not other things. RobJ1981 18:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I think that this page should eb only about the game. Either just mention the books or make a new article for them. -- CSpuppydog (talk) 17:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] A Weapons Section Should Be Added

I think an article about the weapons of the game should be added. i dont have they game yet though, so i cant help. Higgy531 (talk) 15:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

No it shouldn't. Wikipedia is not a game guide Dengarde ► Complaints 18:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Romanized Japanese title

The Japanese title of the game is officially romanized as The Umbrella Chronicles in all publications and materials (except for one instance in the official Japanese site's scenario corner), the soundtrack and trailers for example, so I guess we should have it as Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles. The absence of the article "The" in the Japanese Katakana title is merely a linguistic issue: The Japanese normally transliterate the "The" as サ ("sa"), but as "Umbrella" begins with a vowel, the "The" is pronounced as "thee", for which they don't have a traditional Katakana.

[edit] Overhaul

[edit] Beginnings

Wesker didn't "fail" from his own view-point. Sergei just didn't know of his betrayal at that time, thus calling it a failure - while in reality, Wesker didn't even attempt to claim the management training facility back.

[edit] Nightmare

Rebecca and Richard got out of the library and moved to the corridor in the second floor after the fight in the library - or the fight didn't even take place in the library. So I used a slightly different wording.

[edit] Rebirth

In The Umbrella Chronicles, Red Queen is always mentioned without the article (whereas in the movie, she's always "the Red Queen").

[edit] Death's Door

The grapple-gun was in the same room, so Wesker didn't tell Ada where to retrieve it.

[edit] Dark Legacy

It's never been explicitly stated that it was Wesker who provided the information on Umbrella's involvement in Raccoon's destruction, though it's strongly implied that he's the person who got Spencer involved in the events. Prime Blue (talk) 18:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie References?

Is it notable to note that the game takes many ideas from the movies, such as Red and White Queen and the laser room?Mavrickindigo (talk) 01:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tie-ins merge

Since Tie-ins based on Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is so short, I think it would be better presented in this article, under a section titled "Merchandise", or something similar. Pagrashtak 15:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

The paragraphs detailing that merchandising were deleted from the article by RobJ1981. I agree with him that there should be a separate article for them. I'm writing a more extensive summary of the materials right now, so the article will be extended soon. Prime Blue (talk) 16:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
If something brief can be put into the article, I'm all for it. But a massive section (like what was on the article in the past), isn't helpful. It's just clutter that keeps growing. Why exactly should a video game article list every book, soundtrack and any other material related to it? Last time I checked, there is seperate articles for video game soundtracks (when notable), book adapations and so on. Let's not jam every related item into one article. RobJ1981 (talk) 11:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I looked in the history to the version before Rob removed the tie-ins. TOC-wise it's definitely too much, but I think that the amount of content there could fit in the article under one heading ("Tie-ins" or "Merchandise", etc.) without infoboxes. However, if you plan to add more content to the tie-ins in the near future, I can agree that a separate page is probably better. I would like to point out that I have seen a proposed merge or two recently concerning incorporating a soundtrack article in the game article (I can't remember which ones, exactly, so I have nothing to back this up) because game soundtrack articles are often a mere track listing. Pagrashtak 15:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Merge it, if the section then bursts with content, make it separate, but not before. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] id Tech 4 engine?

I can't find any sources that confirm the game uses the id Tech 4 engine. It was added by this anonymous user. Can anyone look into this? QUILzhunter931 (talk) 09:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
