Latest RE: Darkside Chronicles trailers terrify us for the wrong reasons

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 3rd 2009 at 6:00PM }

The latest Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles trailers reveal a very competent on-rails shooter being played by someone who is guaranteed to become zombie noms in the upcoming apocalypse. We feel obligated to remind our younger readers that when The Zombie Apocalypse™ happens -- and it will -- that one should always aim for the head!

Please don't flail about like a meth monkey, shooting the torso or arms. That's just tickling the zombie, who after being knocked down for a few seconds, will proceed to shamble up to your face and bite off your nose to spite your life. Check out the video above and after the break and learn what not to do when we fight for survival.

Between Darkisde Chronicles and Dead Space Extraction as my rails shooter for the year, I'd have to choose Dead Space... This looks too similar to UC, and I think I want something different and weird. Sorry Capcom, it really does look good.

I was wondering about that too, why the demo tester aim and shoot for the torso and limbs. This isn't Dead Space you know. This is Resident Evil where shooting the head is much more effective. CMIIW though since this is a new game but by far the series really is pretty much the same - aim and shoot the head for the kill.

Anyway, great trailer and awesome looking game.
