Was i the only one who was making this connection while watching
Resident Evil 2?

We have the umrella coorporation acting a lot like Ares
We have the outbreak of zombieness looking a lot like insect spirits
We have a team of heroes getting stranded inside the walls, on a
mission, and trying to get out.

PS. Hey.. i liked the movie.. anything that has zombies, Milla
Jovovich and miniguns is a hit in my mind :)

Oo ... its out already?

I was actually planning on using the design of the underground complex
and doing a run based on that. Not nessecarily one based entierly on the
movie (Afterall, what are the chances the rest of the group has seen it
before?), but one with enough simularities but to stuff them around.

I hope not :) I have been working on a RE2 Lite edition (As in not
taking away SR but adding in the RE2 flavor) campaign for SR. Email me
off list if you want to collaborate?

I did not really think about it like that until you posted it though.

[OT] - Has anyone seen the Directors commentary on RE1? All
participants in the making of the movies had to play the game and
watch others playing the game.

My approach so far is to seed it slowly and have it grow like cancer.
Then have the players be involved whether they like it or not :) My
players will catch on pretty quick but solving the problem (and making
cash in the process) is (hopefully) going to be the fun part.

Actually, i'm not very fond of using the whole zombie idea in a game..
i have a big enough suspension-of-disbelief problem with the bugs :)

I will use it as inspiration, but not untill some time has gone by..
or it would be much too obvious.
