Resident Evil Rant 2; I'm so sorry.

I can't help this. I'm a fanatic, and doing this as a countdown to Resident Evil 5. But the other day, I posted something about said game, and Ed mentioned cash-ins by Capcom such as Umbrella Chronicles.

A side note; loved said cash-in.

Carrying on! I will agree at least partially. Capcom, as Godly as I find them, do adore remaking and/or porting their games at least twenty times before letting them rest. Let's see. Resident Evil, Resident Evil Directors Cut, Resident Evil Saturn, REmake, Resident Evil DS, Resident Evil PSP in the works (supposedly).. that's at least five versions of the same game. RE: Code: Veronica, Code: Veronica X, Code: Veronica Gamecube, and now, it seems Code: Veronica Wii.

All in all, ironically, I'm mostly okay with this. They're great games, and deserve these recognitions... but where is the Resident Evil 2 lovin'?

This was rumored even years ago. This was supposed to be the next Wii Resident Evil after four, even. And though Resident Evil 4 is one of my top five of all time, Resident Evil 2 is top two. I would wager most fans of the series agree with me, as well. And I'd say to remake it with the Resident Evil 4 engine, but the zombies are too slow for it. Add more zombies to make it more oppressive is a solution.

I just wanted to vent about this. And now I'm more mad, because I was going to close off this post with a link to some new Mercenaries mode goodness from RE5, but it's been taken down due to user violation!

Rabble rabble.
