Evaluating Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps and Dark Side Chronicles Playthroughs
Learn firsthand why Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps garnered intense negative sentiment regarding its core loop and mechanics, and discover the technical fixes required to enjoy the on-rails shooter, Dark Side Chronicles.
Short Summary
- The solo mode for Umbrella Corps quickly devolved into repetitive DNA collection on limited maps, leading to a consensus of extreme disappointment.
- Umbrella Corps was rated the second-worst game in the Resident Evil series played, only slightly better than Survivor 2.
- Dark Side Chronicles features severe camera shake and lag issues, which required significant graphics setting adjustments to resolve.
- Gameplay in Dark Side Chronicles involves playing as Leon/Jack/Krower in light-gun missions that retell segments of RE2 and RE0 lore.
This session focused heavily on the much-maligned Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, starting with the discovery that the controls were unintuitive and the gameplay loop was shockingly repetitive. The discussion then shifted to Resident Evil: Dark Side Chronicles, where technical issues like stuttering due to camera shake caused significant downtime before enjoyable light-gun gameplay resumed.

We're about to get GTA6 before Charlies RE5 playtrough at this point
The best thing about having played Umbrella Corps is that you no longer have to.
Umbrella Corps? Now the real pain begins...
"Sample obtained" "this one's mine"
First time I ever booted up that POS. Don't think I'll boot it up again for a long time, but I had fun with the couple matches we played even though I had no fucking clue what I was doing. Looking forward to more of the RE Marathon!
oh now i understadnd the "just joined when he ended" comments
Been a ride and still will be for last 8 games to go thanks for playing them.
If they made this more like call of duty modern warfares spec ops, or like some battlefield story missions. It could’ve been good. But as is it so basic and simple it feels like a blueprint for pitch that hasn’t been made yet. Just bones. And not even a full skeleton. That and put some genuinely important lore to it and it could be a banger. So basically just make a different game completely
Patiently waiting for Rev2 to come up. Im so happy this was the first marathon he decided to do
They should remake operation javier. Its such a cool concept and location
