RESIDENT EVIL FOR THE DS?

[soloist]

As reported earlier, Capcom has announced a DS version of Resident Evil. Appearing in the latest issue of Famitsu is Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, a remake of the first Resident Evil game with the DS's unique feature set in mind.<
><
>Capcom has made a number of changes to the original game. Character models and motion have been redone. New traps and battles await as you work your way through the now classic storyline involving Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and that well-known mansion that introduced the world to Resident Evil back in 1996.<
>One particularly scary new bit involves smarter zombies who'll actually work their way around doors as they chase after you. You'll find that there's no solace in a room that you think you've completely freed from zombie infestation.<
><
>The DS's stylus is being put to use in the remake. You'll use the stylus to work your way through puzzles. The only example we have is a simple one -- inputting numbers into a key pad in order to unlock a door. The stylus is also used when facing off against zombies with your knife. You slash away at your foes by, as you might expect, scratching the screen with the stylus.<
><
>Capcom also has plans for wireless support, although details have yet to be revealed. Deadly Silence is still pretty early into development, so we're not expecting to see it for a while. However, seeing as how the game is part of Capcom's 10th anniversary cele
ation for the Resident Evil series, we expect a release some time next year.<

I haven't played RE4 yet. Was ada wong involved in the storylines for that game? The movie viewer is a good idea, too bad its not seen in many games. <i></i>

Ada Wong did appear in certain scenes, in<
>RE4 (GC), but this version reveals wh-<

>he did, and allows gamers to p-<

Did you see this RE4 GC controller yet? My homies want it so bad. I might get it for them for Christmas if the price comes down a bit. <b>The Ancient Forest ~ Neighborhood 99<
