Who's to say Leon wasn't involved on the government shutting down umbrella? He became a special agent for a reason.

no way fag

no one plays Umbrella Chronicles I guess

>>9831492
Unfortunately that game and Darkside Chronicles have a bad rep of being "bad" simply for being on-rail shooters.
IMO they're fun, especially Darkside.

>>9831498
Some of the rail shooters imo. Loved the amount of unlockables and replay value in these

Back in the 90's, everyone would've had a good chuckle.

That's my experience with the game too. I bought it on the N64 and never played the PS1 version. I did unlocked all Leon A and B, as well as Claire A and B endings, so my experience is interlaced 15fps video with compressed audio and a somber piano tune for all endings. I still love the N64 version though. I know its flaws.

Yeah, nah. It probably would have gotten an AO rating.

They're good games, but the downfall of Umbrella should've been something depicted in the mainline titles, not relegated to a rail shooter spinoff. Then again, it's Capcom's fault for churning out too many spin-offs, prequels and sidequels until everyone just lost interest and they had to reinvent shit for RE4.

>>9831607
Capcom love to do this since "lore materials in other things" worked well for Gundam SEED Destiny, Mega Man is particularily guilty of it, a lot of it's lore is locked to Japan-only artbooks and even a second booklet included in one of the OSTs having a lengthy epilogue.

Mutt's law strikes again.

what would the umbrella game have been? claire leon jill and chris storming a corporate campus in europe?

>>9831483
I mean I suppose that was the only logical conclusion. If the US government is forced to nuke a city they're going to do a ground invasion of any country where an umbrella hq is located and launch a massive world war 2 era intelligence op to track every employee down.

>>9831664

No thanks.

>>9831534

ftfy

>>9831534
The N64 version is so fucking lame. Glad I debunked this shit, the anon that kept claiming it was the bestest version of the game STFUs now.

>>9831667
Knowing more of how the world works in my age I would assume Umbrella and the government were in bed together the whole time so hunting every employee down would be hindered by the very people in charge of doing so. Look at what they did with Maxwells list. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

>>9831895
If there were a Saturn version it'd definitely be the best

>>9832171
There's a Dreamcast version for failed men

Somebody needs to cure Leon of his yellow fever

>>9831483
Leon meant it was up to "The US", and the gov did shit down Umbrella. Leon was correct after all.

>>9832179
you mean the best version?

>>9831485
I don't really understand how people didn't pick up on this.
Plus, if you think about it for more than two seconds, how is it even possible that Umbrella could exist in the first place without the US military knowing of its existence? Where'd they get all that money?

>>9832536
The say way corpos do evil shit now, bribes and lobbyists. No way to hide from or out-bribe a Chernobyl sized event though

>>9831626

>>9832568
Why did they juxtapose a meme about Europeans with a pic of an American?

>>9832521
it's just the PC version with INSANE loading times and fucked up background colours.

They were.

>>9832732
I had a discussion on here with someone once who vehemently denied that this could possibly be the case.

>>9832743
It's straight from a file in RE1.
>HELICOPTER PORT
>Executive and Government Officials only on helicopter port.
>This restriction may not apply in case of an accident.

>>9832761
Exactly!

Remember that is why Birkin got a visit from Hunk and his squad. He wanted to sell G directly to the US Government.

>>9831483
>>9831485
This should have been a Phoenix Wright spinoff title.

>>9833042
You were almost a Jill onigiri

>>9831485
Leon is 100% a mind-controlled gov assassin/clean-up man/fixer. RE4 makes this abundantly clear.

Not even as good as Still Dawn.

>>9833950
Best ending theme song ever, get fucked.

>>9831483
I always loved how oddly realistic the end of Umbrella was in RE4

>Giant mega corporation has a massive biohazard incident that results in a city getting nuked with 100,000 people dead
>Various law violations come to light in both the US and the EU
>Company stock crashes and they go bankrupt

Basically what you would expect to happen honestly

>>9831492
Yes, no one cares about dumbass spinoffs. People wanted a mainline RE focused on the cast from RE1-3 fighting Umbrella in the same style as those games. How could you tell?

>>9833643
I haven't beaten the remake yet, but it seems to be doing its best to make that even clearer. Because apparently you and I are in the minority in understanding this!

>>9831664
Like No Russian, except it's Chris and the gang shooting up a bunch of Umbrella office workers and janitors.

>>9833959
Or, get a load of this, you can samefag like a complete schizo and push your headcanon onto people!

>>9834030
I'm not samefagging. If you feel psychically assaulted by my posts, I'm afraid that's on you.
But on a more serious note, I don't necessarily think they brainwashed him. What I do think is that they were probably going to either have him killed, imprisoned or put in a witness protection program following the incident at Raccoon City if he refused to join the super secret cool guy task force.

>>9831498
They're kind of bad lightgun games though. The camera and framerate are unsteady, and the cursor running at the game's bad framerate instead of 60 makes it feel laggy as crap. Loadouts also throw any sort of arcade scoring/consistency out the window and honestly all machine gun/shotgun lightgun are weak.

>>9832639
Minor extra and somewhat odd tidbit, the DC version's music is synthesized like the ps1 version unlike the pc or gc versions.

>>9834048
>If you feel psychically assaulted by my posts
Schizo in full swing.

>>9831895
It's an interesting achievement but it's pretty bad. The worst thing about it is actually how it flip flops between 240p and 480i. The actual fuck. I also like how it has "soundfont" versions of the music.

>>9834061
It's been admitedly a decade, so I don't recall the framerate stuff, but I do remember enjoying Darkside Chronicles the most.

>>9834075
>The worst thing about it is actually how it flip flops between 240p and 480i.
I'm pretty sure it also did this on PS1, unless I'm getting it mixed up with Silent Hill. I know the latter definitely does it.

>>9834087
It's worse than SH in this regard. It will literally be screen to screen mode changes as you walk between different prerendered camera angles.

>>9834078

I will say, this hack makes me wanna try Darkside again.

>>9834113
Oh, I didn't know it happened that often. I just assumed the menu screen was all that was in 480i. Weird.

>>9834061
*machinegun/shotgun lightgun games are weak, I meant to say. Always felt like semi-auto pistol rail shooters felt the most satisfying to play, rewarding well placed shots.

>>9834062

It seems like Capcom Production Studio 3 did the ports for resident Evil 2 and 3 on the Dreamcast, and they were responsible for the original PC ports. it seems like they would have used the PC port as a base, and then redid the soundtrack to take advantage of the DC hardware, and maybe replaced all the lower coloured pre-rendered images with better ones, and added VMU support. They are using WindowsCE for the ports, and the dev time was much shorter for both of them combined, in comparison to porting Resident Evil 2 to the Saturn.

>>9832639
>INSANE loading times
>"hmm... Anon must be exaggerating"
>look at a DC playthrough online
Jesus, I thought the video froze for a moment

>>9834525
I played through this last week. This must be one of the games the GDemu drastically speeds up the load times because I didn't notice them as bad at all. It definitely had faster loading times than the Resident Evil Directors cut I also played on the Mister recently. I assume with emulation the loading times on the Dreamcast are faster too.

>>9834794
Wouldn't surprise me since Outbreak on PS2 has absolutely awful loading times but playing it of an HDD makes it a hundred times better. If you're on DC consider trying the hard/nightmare mode. It's hard as fuck but it's the ultimate official RE2 challenge. It's a DC and PC exclusive mode.

>>9834806
>Wouldn't surprise me since Outbreak on PS2 has absolutely awful loading times but playing it of an HDD makes it a hundred times better.

I'm not saying I don't believe you but Outbreak has equally terrible loading times on real hardware with a disc game, on real hardware that is modded and loading through network, and on pc emulated. And those load times can take up to 10-15 seconds often.

Code Veronica started as Resident Evil 2 on the Saturn. It claimed to use the 4mb RAM cart. Sega really wanted some BioHazard games on the Saturn. Capcom switched over to Dreamcast development. The port team that was working on RE2 Saturn made the engine for CV.
