Entry #4
First off, did this look like a rush job? If you think so, you're right. I made this in about three days... total time took about eight hours.
It took about the same amount of time for Modern War, but the cartoon was half as long, so that point is moot.
You see, I'm going on vacation really soon, and decided that Saturday would be my deadline.
Now with that out of the way, let's move onto the cartoon!
Man, first it was the necks, and now it's the pronunciation! I can't excuse 'content,' because I almost never say this out loud; I only type it, especially when talking about 'PS2 Resi Evil 4 content.'
I completely forgot about the pronunciation difference between 'conTENT,' such as being happy, and 'CONtent,' which refers to items and features, but now it's clear and obvious to me.
But I do have an excuse for 'reticule!' You see, I use Microsoft Word to type up my scripts before doing each episode, and whenever I typed the word 'reticle,' it got marked for a misspelling and said that the correct spelling was 'reticule,' and it was pronounced exactly the way it's spelled, with a long 'u.' This is certainly the last time I trust a computer program for logic (I'm not a very smart person to begin with).
Anyway, yeah, after hearing about the supposed 'Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition,' I had a similar reaction to Kandi's: fist in the face.
I told myself that I would not buy it unless it had a good enough reason to, as well as a budget price tag since it was a three year old game.
After learning that it would retail for $30, come with Gamecube's graphics and PS2 CON-tent, as well as a control setup that kept getting positive previews, I got the game upon launch without a second guess. It's definitely worth it.
Now, there had better be more Resident Evil 4-esque games for the Wii... Honestly, Capcom just proved that the Wii can be for hardcore gamers as much as it can be for casuals; it's all up to creativity.
Not only that, but this game expands on the past versions; I have a friend who said that he loved the title itself, even though he had trouble playing it. He would average about a 40% hit rate on the Gamecube version, but after playing the Wii version, he rounded off at 80%, and says the setup is much better.
I even brought RE4: Wii to my friend's house, who just bought a Wii, and picked up on the game for the first time very well. He says that he'll definitely buy it in the future.
It disappoints me that Umbrella Chronicles will not be a Resident Evil 4-esque title, but hey, hopefully Capcom will squeeze something out of the on-rails setup. It looks pretty good so far, and I may definitely pick it up.
