INTRODUCTION

The chronicle of the Resident Evil: Chronicles franchise is an intriguing tale unto itself. Birthed from the renowned survival horror series that Capcom has been churning out since ’96, this offshoot diverges from the usual gameplay path. Its genre isn’t the classic third-person action games that fans have come to know and love, but rather first-person rail shooters—a venture designed to harness the power of the Wii Remote. The devs surmised that the PlayStation Move could achieve a similar impact, leading them to shape the Resident Evil: Chronicles HD compilation with this intent for the PS3 platform.

GAMES INCLUDED IN THE BUNDLE

The Chronicles HD compilation doesn’t just offer one game; it hands you two exclusive titles previously nestled in the Nintendo Wii’s library. The games included are Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles from 2007 and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which arrived two years later in 2009. That’s twice the fun, twice the thrill, and twice the nightmare-infused adrenaline!

PLOT OF THE UMBRELLA CHRONICLES

Now let’s talk about the plot for The Umbrella Chronicles. This narrative is a compressed overview of the storylines from Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Additionally, it adds an extra layer of story involving the downfall of the infamous Umbrella Corporation. As players, you can step into the shoes of several familiar characters like Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, and even the ominous Albert Wesker, as well as others. The playground is vast, from haunted mansions and police stations to rustic villages and the eerily familiar streets of Raccoon City.

THE DARKSIDE CHRONICLES STORYLINE

Moving onto The Darkside Chronicles, the spotlight is on Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, familiar faces from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X. The narrative weaves in new elements, intertwining them with the original threads of Leon and Claire’s stories, promising a thrilling revisit for the veterans and a terrifying welcome for the newbies.

TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF CHRONICLES HD

Compared to their original versions, the games packaged in the Chronicles HD bundle for PS3 showcase impressive technical upgrades. They boast High-Definition graphics, PlayStation Move controller compatibility, and even an achievements system. You heard right; this compilation lets you flex your survival horror skills with shiny trophies to show off! And although the PlayStation Move was a focus, fear not – you can still play these games with your trusty regular gamepad.

PURCHASING OPTIONS

Lastly, let’s talk about purchasing options because, let’s face it, we all love choices. The PS3 compilation of Chronicles HD is purchasable as a complete bundle on the PlayStation Network service. However, if you’re more inclined towards one title than the other, or your wallet isn’t quite as generous, you can buy either game separately. Because in the world of Resident Evil, flexibility is just as important as survival.
