No Darkside strategy guide?

[xfactor]

I don't think its just the strategy guide. Japan have made no tie-in products for the game, but they have promoted the game in another direction, specifically, more on-hand demos to the public. Only 2 tees and a money clip has been announced so far so hope there will be more such as a guide.

Yeeeeah, I usually try to collect all the English and Japanese guidebooks as "collectibles," too, so I'm hoping they release one for DSC. I'd love for a hardcover edition, but I doubt there will be one for this particular game. But, damn, the hardcover RE5 guide is just so... gorgeous.

Have been keeping an eye out for this also. With the kind of push Capcom is giving it i can't imagine it NOT having a guide released for it. Still a month or so before launch, plenty of time for them to announce it i'm sure.

And hard copy all the way too.

Umbrella Chronicles had one, so I can't imagine why Darkside wouldn't. The nice thing about the UC one was that it reproduced all the unlockable files in the game.

Yes, but that was all it was really needed for, to find all the destructable unlockables. Perhaps they realised that and justified that it wasn't worth the expense to produce one for the sequel. Who knows, guess we will have to wait and see.

The Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles japanese guide was dissappointing. The one I got didn't contain any character profiles or extra sections at all. I only got it because there were rumours it contained infomation on 'S'.

I wonder if they'll come out with a Japanese Kaitashinsho one. Doubtful though, they seem to only do those for the main games and Umbrella Chronicles never received one, just two rather cookie-cutter ones.

Yeah, its just for collection's sake really. Perhaps its just been decided that with it being 'on the rails' there isn't really a need for one.

You can always wait for the eventual IGN/Gamespot guides, which can be quite decent.

Anyone know of any guides for Darkside Chronicles in the pipeline? Can't find anything on Prima, Bradygames or Futurepress. Just seems a little odd seeing as though the game is only a few weeks away from release.
