Here's how this works: I post explanations on the games from planetgamecube.com, and screenshots from cube.ign.com, then comments from me in ()'s. Vhee!
RESIDENT EVIL 4
Biohazard 4 takes place after the events of Biohazard 3: Nemesis. The game stars Leon from the second game in the series, and apparently it is set deep within the heart of the Umbrella Corporation. Capcom's site seems to indicate that Biohazard 4 will have its own special unveiling in the near future, as there is currently very little information on it. The release date is listed as "200X", i.e. no date has been set.
(Leon's hard core now!! w00t! RE graphics will never fail to blow me away.)
DEAD PHOENIX
Dead Phoenix is a fantasy-themed game set in a city high floating in the clouds. The main character is a winged warrior named Phoenix. Director Hiroki Kato says he wants to create that "flying like the bird" feeling in this game. Dead Phoenix is due out in summer 2003 for Japan.
(Definately less spectacular than the other four, but I love flying.. should definately be somthing to check out)
KILLER 7
Killer7 is a hitman epic from director Gouichi Suda, produced by Shinji Mikami. The main character is, according to the site, a wheelchair-bound old man who happens to be an assassin with seven different personalities. Each one gives him different abilities in his quest to hunt down his evil adversary, Kun Lan. You'll have to wait for this one, as it won't be released in Japan until winter 2003.
(This game's got some serious STYLE goin' on.)
PRODUCT NUMBER 03
Shinji Mikami's long-awaited GameCube title is Product Number 03, or P.N.03 for short. The game follows the exploits of a robot hunter and will feature lots of explosions and ballistic chaos when it arrives in Japan in spring 2003.
(Pretty shiny-lookin'! Kinda looks like a combination of Space Harrier and Metroid)
VIEWTIFUL JOE
Viewtiful Joe (yes, that's the correct spelling) is a side-scrolling superhero game from director Hideki Kamiya. The director's comments describe the game as being all about action and the fluidity of movement; the goal is to make it feel like you're really controlling a superhero. Viewtiful Joe is set for release in Japan in spring 2003.
(2D side-scrolling LIVES!! And.. is that Shino!? Hehehe..) |

*squints*
I think that IS Shino! Why didn't he TELL us he was a super hero!? Man, you think you know someone and then *POW* he ends up being a super hero! Go figure.

Thanks to my IGN Insider-ness, I got to check out the movie trailers for each of these games. It's interesting how some games look better than others in screenshots, while others shine in motion.
For example, Product Number 03 looks beautiful in those shots, but so far the in-game animation looks really stiff and jolting. I'm sure they'll fix it, but it wasn't too pleasing to the eye when brought to motion.
Resident Evil 4 looks absolutely beautiful in motion, and surprisingly it's all real-time graphics this time, no prerenders involved. Yep, tha's right. All that stuff's in-game. Ahh.. ubersexy.
BUT the one that stole the "show" so to speak, was Viewtiful Joe. The game looks like a bunch of random sprites in screenshots, but IN MOTION you realize that everything is actually 3d generated, but still a 2d sidescroller. And the animation is absolutely 'viewtiful' and way smoother than sprites could ever accomplish. Beating up those guys looks to be SO much fun. Again, I say: 2D LIVES!!! |

No, Rev. You are not alone. I can see where you are coming from with that idea. The character in the second screen shot, though, screems Seifer (from FFVIII) to me, though don't ask me why.

You see Seifer, I see Vicious. 'Course this could also be because of serious sleep derprivation. |
