Capcom sent over a massive amount of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles assets and one image in particular is leaving me puzzled. Who is this mysterious woman? Darkside Chronicles is based on Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica and I don’t remember seeing this woman in either of the games.
As glad as I am that there will be new additions to these games, it does make me a little mad. I hate when an established story is retold. Resident Evil 2 was perfect just the way it was and Code: Veronica was … well, that’s actually my least favorite of the Resident Evils.
I have to say the graphics are looking rather sharp based on what I’m looking at in the gallery below. There’s also a brand new trailer which you can watch with your eyes after the break. The trailer is actually really dramatic and shows off key events from both of the games.
If you like what you see, you should go pre-order the game at GameStop. You'll get this freakin' awesome shirt if you do!
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

That looks completely amazing - Also, Code Veronica should've been a movie. It was interesting, but not playably interesting. I got the chills watching that video though.
The chick might be the mayor's daughter that you find dead in Chief Irons' office in Claire's scenarios. Seeing RE2 scenes redone with Leon & Claire together and in CGI makes my pants rise, but at the same time, the nostalgia in me is making me feel annoyed. Is this replacing what was originally canon?
It's the mayor's daughter indeed. BTW where the hell were the cutscenes of leon+krauser africa campaign !? That's what I was hoping to get a glimpse of. :-(
Everyone acts like I'm crazy when I say I didn't like Code Veronica. I couldn't get into the first chronicles...made me bummed b/c I love me so Resident Evil. Strangely I liked both Outbreaks, which everyone seemed to hate.

I saw Claire's ass. I'll be reserving this now.
OF MYSTERY!
I always thought she was underage, back when i played Resident Evil 2
That was Steve staring at her ass, not Leon and that happened in Code Veronica.
Besides, Claire was 19 or 20 in RE2.
This game just makes me sad that future resident evils will never be as cool as the originals.
RE4 and 5's Las Plagas are nowhere near as amazing as the T and G viruses. Survival horror is dead and shitty action adventure killed it.
... GET THIS MAN A MEDAL. NOW. RIGHT NOW.
