Resident Evil Degeneration specs...
IGN is reporting...
Resident Evil's Degeneration Preview
by David McCutcheon
November 18, 2008 - On December 30, 2008, Capcom and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release Resident Evil: Degeneration on DVD, Blu-ray and PSP UMD. The computer-animated film follows the lines of the videogame series rather than the movie series, and stars Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, the co-headliners of Resident Evil 2. It will contain bonus materials and extra features, and the DVD will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $27.96, while the Blu-ray will run for the MSRP of $39.95. The UMD will cost you $24.94.
Here's the official synopsis:
"Responding to a Level 5 Alert, Special Agent Leon Kennedy, joined by Claire Redfield, discover flesh devouring zombies rampaging throughout Harvardville Airport. After rescuing Senator Davis from a grisly death, the pair learn that Curtis, a revenge-seeking terrorist, has masterminded the attack. Before they can catch him, Curtis injects himself with a sinister G virus and morphs into a monster. Can Leon and Claire take down the mutated man-creature before he annihilates the planet or will the infectious, deadly virus take over the world?"
The Resident Evil: Degeneration Blu-ray will feature the following bonus materials:
Resident Evil 5 videogame trailers
The Generation of DEGENERATION Featurette
Character Profiles
Voice Bloopers
Faux Leon Interview
Resident Evil: Degeneration Trailers
"BonusView" Interactive PiP: Viewers will have the unprecedented ability to access one of three picture-in-picture streams at any point during the film.
Pop-Up Trivia Track
Picture-in-Picture (I-PIP)Compatible Blu-ray™ players and PlayStation 3 use an Ethernet or wi-fi connection to access a remote, studio supported web portal where exclusive content and previews can be downloaded directly to the BD player

Better DEGENERATE those MSRPs. In any case, it's available at Amazon for Pre-order for $24.99 on Blu.

Has anyone seen this film?
Somewhere I read about it not being the quality (animation) of FF:TSW -- it was like watching the animatics of the video games.
Not too promising -- But I do have a guilty pleasure for this trilogy (minus pt.2
)

The character in the cover art looks like she could be Sarah Michelle Gellar's little sister.

Hopefully this will be cannon regarding the game series. I remember an early rumour that this was supposed to tread the line between the Milla Jovovich films and the games. I hope that's not true as I want some proper closure to Leon and Claire's story and it seems RE5 (although ending the series) wont provide that.

Honestly, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is a lousy movie that is only watchable because of it's great action sequences. I much preffered Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Although a flawed sci-fi/new age movie, it at least offered a coherent plot and rather likeable (albeit shallow) characters.

release date changed....
Blu-ray.com
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced they are pushing up the release date of the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'Resident Evil: Degeneration', which is now due to hit store shelves on December 27th, day-and-date with the DVD release. This is the latest in a series of studio moves to an odd street date (anything but Tuesday) and is likely done to capture part of the post-Christmas buying frenzy.
No technical specs or special features have been changed with the release date move.

Are you kidding me!?!?! A true Resident Evil fan hates Resident Evil 4. They just destroyed what made the games great. Oh gee I can carry 100 guns at once. Oh gee I can use all my ammo now because around the corner there will be some goofy ass guy who will sell me as much as I want. Lame.

It just isn't a Resident Evil game to me if it doesn't have the still backgrounds and the crappy camera angles, which made the game much more intense and scary for me.

Crappy camera angles don't make a game scary. Those were just limitations of the software at the time. RE4 kept the same tank-like control scheme from the first games but applied an over-the-shoulder camera to it. Sure, there was more action but given you could be ambushed at any corner, it was still plenty intense.
And you're exagerating about the guns and ammo. Even though you could buy whatever you need, there was only just enough money during a first playthrough to buy a handful of guns and upgrade those. Also, even if you could afford all the guns in the game, you were limited to carrying only a few of those (and some of their respective ammo) at a time.
In terms of gameplay, the minor tweaks (cos that's all they were) were a welcome breath of fresh air.

Half the fun of the original games was the lack of ammo and know when to conserve it. Even if I did exaggerate it was still lame to me that ammo was much easier to come across. Regardless if there were limits you usually never second guessed yourself about blasting a bad guy, unlike the originals where you had to decide if you should kill this zombie now or wait until later.
I feel they had to change the format for Resident Evil 4 to compete with the new FPS now that are much more action based. Resident Evil was NEVER an action based game but they were almost forced to make it more action and in your face because thats where games are headed. Which is unfortunate.
