Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles box art revealed photo

I'm still lamenting that I didn't get time at Comic-Con to go to the Capcom booth and get some hands on time with Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles so I could get the best shirt ever, but you know, I still think I am going to buy the game anyway. After all, I'm a new Resident Evil fan, and now that I've joined the addiction I'm interested in learning as much about the series as I can.

Anyway, the box art for The Darkside Chronicles was revealed today, and it's looking pretty yummy (check out the gallery for the full picture). We have to wait for this game until next year, but that gives me ample time to finally go back and play through Resident Evil 4 for the first time while I wait. Are you excited about The Darkside Chronicles?

Wait, you've never played RE4? I'm hurt.

Oh swanky! And I've never finished RE4...

You all make me sick. I beat RE4 on Gamecube and then I beat it on Wii, then I beat professional mode, then I unlocked all characters in mercenaries and got 5 star ratings on every map. Once I completed Ada's missions and unlocked everything in the main story I stopped playing... but I have a friend who played RE 4 until his gold was maxed out to all 9's.

It reminds me of the covers of those awful books by J.D. Perry wrote a few years back.

Klaus is the guy on the cover (in the shadow) and HUNK might be in the game:

"According to Keith Silverstein's official website, he will reprise the
role of HUNK in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles"

yeah, the cover art isn't terribly inspired, but it's fairly well done. I mean, art like that is almost cliche, except its still acceptable.

It works. Which is what matters.

Nice cover! I'll probably get this one, since I didn't buy Umbrella Chronicles.

What stevil said, it looks like a book cover.

Although I liked the RE books.

@Colette
Hope you enjoy RE4. Which system are you playing it on?

Looks like a pretty nice cover. I will definitely be picking this up. Umbrella Chronicles was a great two player experience for my roommate and I.

I guess I need to go back to RE4 at some point as well, I still have to finish Separate Ways.

My mistake - It's S.D. Perry and not J.D. before someone tells me. Also, "by J.D. Perry wrote" (what?!)...It's late and my mind has gone.

Anyway, this is what I meant - http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n1/n5532.jpg

@Holyetheline

Oh yeah? Well I actually followed one of the Final Fantasy 6 rumors and I fought 4000 battles in the dinosaur forest to see if I'd get the special sword that supposedly revived General Leo. I was 11, it took me all summer, nothing happened. =\

@ SnakeDude4Life- Klaus from the first CGI RE movie?

I don't know how I feel about that.

Yup, that box art looks pretty dark alright. As for lookin like a book, it could be the fact that it got the word "Chronicles" on it.

@Jonathan Holmes: I think he meant Krauser.

I beat RE4 for the Wii this summer. It was my first game in the series and I loved it. I played a bit of RE5 this week splitscreen with my brother, but for some reason I'm having a harder time getting into it. I blame the fact that it's splitscreen, although in general there are only a few games I've liked playing co-op, so that may be it.

@EdgyDude: Yeah it's Krauser, which was spoiled by a Capcom exec a couple of months ago. Supposedly he is your teammate (you playing as Leon) on the African campaign preceding RE4, while the exec mentioned the helicopter incident talked about in RE4 (which I couldn't remember actually but whatever). The added chapter in Umbrella Chronicles felt a little too sci-fi for me with that final boss and the two bodyguards (WTF was that power rangers shit in my RE?), it was like they cross-bred Project NO. 3 with Gun Survivor. Hopefully the Krauser African campaign will be a lot better

So this is going to be like Umbrella Chronicles?
