Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles director explains what makes this game so 'dark'

“We use some of the great personal stories from Resident Evil 2 in The Darkside Chronicles. Resident Evil 2 was a darker, more intimate story compared to the chapters that we put into Umbrella Chronicles and I tried to highlight that difference when creating this game. The bonds between Leon and Ada, between Claire and Sherry. The story of the collapse of the Birkin Family. These relatively insignificant stories make Resident Evil 2 an unforgettable game. We focused on these intimate stories of love and family in The Darkside Chronicles. Tragic romance, the destruction of a happy family…isn’t that a bit on the Darkside?” - Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles director Yashuhiro Seto

I’m all for a darker Resident Evil game, especially after the bright and cheery Resident Evil 5. That game was nothing but sunshine and smiles!
