Umbrella Corp officially denies that a second incident has taken place in the Arklay Mountains near Raccoon City, the sight where, in 1996, they were accused of unleashing a deadly contaminant that disfigured and killed hundreds of company employees and private citizens within the area. Reports lately filed by local citizens mirror those of 1996, except that this time they contain such exceptional detail and horrifying scenarios that the Justice Department is considering investigating these claims, pending a report from Raccoon City’s elite team of investigators known as STARS. We’ll have more on this story as information is made available…

When Capcom announced that Resident Evil was being remade for the GameCube, most assumed it was going to be a simple graphical enhancement of the original title. Nintendo’s systems have always been short changed when it came to the RE titles, (with the exception of RE2 appearing on the N64) due to many factors such as Nintendo sticking to a cartridge format and their systems being geared toward a younger audience, so it was assumed that the GameCube version of the original would just be a pretty way to settle that score. Even this reviewer (who was working at Acclaim Entertainment at the time of the original’s release, and can attest to the entire staff talking about little else for a solid three weeks) had low expectations for the new version’s content… the original had been beaten “nine ways to Sunday” and “from hell to breakfast,” so what could a remake possibly have to offer? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot indeed.

First off, the graphical presentation is beyond stunning. This is what you would picture this mansion looking like in your head. Although it might be thought of as a step back in terms of technology (Code Veronica, released for the Dreamcast in 2000 used fully rendered-on-the-fly environments), the static backgrounds used up until CV are back, but tweaked to such a state of high-resolution perfection that you probably wouldn’t notice them if you were not told that they were there. Capcom has perfected a way to animate objects within the pre-rendered environments and use light-sourcing to such an extent that everything appears so realistic that by walking through the shadow-infested hallways, dank chambers, and long-abandoned rooms infested with various abominations, you actually begin to feel like you are inside this mansion… and about to die.

    IF this is random sampling of the grafics, I'm tempted to buy the system for the game! The big N has been famous for kiddy games. IF the atmosphere is carried over from other systems, this game would be worth the system!

    Am age 19 & think It would be Better to Have it back on PlayStation One & Two System Then the Game Cube. Reson As the fact is The Game Cube System Support kiddy tipe games in the USA plus Its dosent support DVDs or Old games Like N64 & SNES on Game Cube . MY Point is Nintendo Game Cube Sucks!!!! IT DOSENT Convert As Like the Xbox & Playstation 2 dose with the use of DVDs!!!
    Playstation 2 plays OLD playstation One games on It!
    Plus Sony Playstation 1&2 is trying to support all of Final fantasy 1-13 on it & all Resident evil From the start !!!! Why I Think Resident Evil Zero should be on playstation 2 Is to keep the history story line stragth!!!!!

    any information on the true arklay mountains and the real umbrella corporation? It may sound weird that im asking that, but ive stumbled upon some interesting info myself and i was just wondering if anyone else had. The mansion lab in "Resident evil" was surrounded by forests and a lake (or damn, which ever you would like to call it) well... there is such a place. I know what you're thinking "well theres lots of places that are surrounded by forests and lakes, whats the point?". Well, this place is called "Racoon". Now is that a coincidence? I think not. so if anyone has any similar information, i'd like to know. post it on here

    I think that the GBA is the best consol ever. Not that i dont like any other, but i say that its great, the GBA can plug in to the Gamecube and you can now either play wireless or with cable and up to four players. You can also take it anywhere you want. Sure there's the problem of batteries but there's alot of accessories that goes with it.

    Going back to the subject, i say that everygames are good whichever console its on. FF 1 and 2 are on the GBA. ALTTP as been broght to the GBA and you can connecte it to the Gamecube, that way you can augment the playing potencial.

    More and more games to the GBA have two games in one cartridge. That makes the fun last longuer (depending how much you play on it). More and more classics and old games, that goes way back to the first ever Nintendo Entertainment System, are remade for the GBA. Remember that for the NES the controls were A, B, Start, Select and the +pad, nothing more.

    My whole point in this is that the games of today are good, but the games of yesterday are great classics.

    I think it would of been cooler if they put the live FMV into the remake version,but maby feature the uncut version and maby upgrade it a little.Perhaps bout 3 or 4 minutes longer.
