The game consists
of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's
village (plus surrounding areas).
Each chapter has 2
characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire,
RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.
There are several
characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca
Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.
The gameplay of
all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to
go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.
The game will have
QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote
in order to get through them.
All characters
will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.
To encourage
replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how
in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.
Just like in
RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more
players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and
shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.
You will be able
to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have
Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago
Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel
robots.
Similar to Devil
May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons
picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.
Arcade Mode is
like a giant Mercenaries minigame. No puzzles or story, just pick a
character and a stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding
success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.
Scenario Mode will
feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.
New content not in
the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of
this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the
rest of the series.
Ammo conservation
will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.
