Wee Leak On Resident Evil Wii
Resident Evil fan site Resident Evil Horror got a tiny bit of info on the Wii version of the survival horror franchise. Looks like Jill Valentine, who made her first appearance in the original Resident Evil ten years ago, will be returning to slice up more zombies.
Voice actress Tara Platt is to voice Jill Valentine in the upcoming RE:Wii game. She confirmed to us that the game will feature zombies (or at the least, zombie-like enemies) and plant creatures, as well as a wide array of weaponry. The fact that Ms. Platt was aware of the weapons in the game infers that she is voicing a playable character and is not just doing a cameo. Jill being the main character increases the likelihood of seeing Carlos or Barry turn up as well.
As long as we're not subjected to another Survivor-style shooter, I'll be on board with Wii wanding more undead. Thanks for the tip, John.
Update: We got an e-mail from Tara that may or may not disprove this info. Check out what she has to say after the jump.
I don't want to disseminate incorrect information, and I cannot actually verify that I am in Wii or the Biohazard 5 game, all I know for sure is that the contract (for the game I did work on) had the title BIOHAZARD (but it could be any number of varying title offshoots from that same company).Like I said, I only have the 'title' that was on the contract that I signed which was BIOHAZARD -- so I really don't know if that relates to either Biohazard 5 for PS3 and Xbox 360, or Biohazard for the Wii. We recorded in December of '05 - so it was almost a year ago, but these things often take a while....I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful...as actors we are often only given so much information anyway, on top of the non-disclosure agreements we have to sign, so there isn't much I can say. And with titles with so many divisions and offshoots, you never really know where the particular game or project you worked on will appear (as they don't give you info that you may leak)....who knows, it may not even be either of the two you listed.
So. We're not sure what the deal is here. Resident Evil for the Wii may NOT actually feature Tara as Jill Valentine. This may be voice over work for another Biohazard/Resident Evil title but we won't speculate what the game is without more information as we don't want anyone to suffer for our conjecture. Maybe we'll know more after the mid-September press event.
