Playing through the REmake and it's interesting to me that with all of the crazy triggers/branching ways things can play out in the game, they never really accounted for you reading the report in the Mansion that explicitly says the entire thing was a setup to lure in STARS. Then when you run into Enrique and he tells you the exact same thing, Jill acts like it's new information by default. I guess that can just be ascribed to Jill being Jill, though. I loved the HD REmake. Just finished my first playthrough--going to jump in with Chris next, which should be fun since I've never done a Chris playthrough.

Just want to see the credits roll and get a sneak peek at RE7. Whatever that game might be like. Where do you even go after RE6? A game about Jake globetrotting on his motorcycle and punching monsters?

limited posted:But with talk of microtransactions linked to respawns, and a Dragon's Dogma F2P MMO, I'm getting a distinct feeling that Capcom might need some new bedlinen. It's starting to poo poo the bed. Between this and the episodic thing I can't help but be very wary of Revelations 2. I don't think I was ever excited enough to pre-order but I'm definitely regarding it with a suspicious eye now.

If you wanted to put no effort into it whatsoever, a new Resident Evil is as easy as "new scientist, new outbreak, poo poo goes down." Off the top of my head, excluding plot ideas that are almost certainly never going to go anywhere (whatever it is Ada's actually doing), Alex Wesker from "Lost in Nightmares" is still out there somewhere with a big pile of Spencer's money and a bunch of research into using the T-Virus as a life extension project. Wesker died with a bunch of really valuable research, so the search for his archives would naturally be a billion-dollar affair. There are still a good twelve Weskers besides Alex and Albert, some of whom may have no idea about the entire thing. The Umbrella Corporation's history is largely unexplored before the '90s and they had a good thirty years to get up to shenanigans, so flashback games are entirely possible. Plus, yes, Jake Muller: Monster Puncher. When he eats an apple, an app on his phone plays the invincibility theme from Super Mario Bros. There's also the whole "Endor Holocaust" aspect of Resident Evil, where six out of seven continents at this point have been the site of a large, potentially-unstoppable outbreak of the T-Virus or a descended project: Raccoon City and now Tall Oaks in North America, the "Operation Javier" levels in Darkside Chronicles account for South America, Alfred's deliberate T-Virus release in Antarctica during Code Veronica, the Liansheng attack (and Liansheng is apparently a very thinly-veiled stand-in for Hong Kong if you know what you're looking for) for Asia, the T-Abyss is still running loose in the Mediterranean Sea as of the end of Revelations, and Africa is the ancestral home of the T-Virus in the first place. (The only reason they've never had an Australia RE game is because T-Virus-infected Australian wildlife would either instakill you or it'd cause a lethality overflow error and you'd get the Plants vs. Zombies topiary.) Basically the entire RE-verse planet is gently hosed by 2013. My dream RE game for a while has been the 25-years-later title where humanity is desperately trying to build a space elevator so they can get off the planet before it mutates them all to death, and you play as various kids of the RE mainstays (the last time I talked about this, I was thinking about Leon and Ada's kid who was actually raised by Claire, plus a theoretical Chris/Jill offspring) as they try to keep mutants off the base and deal with various terrorists who don't think the human race should be allowed to run off without dealing with this poo poo. It'd be very Dead Space: 1999.

I figure the natural endpoint for Resident Evil is like Fist of the North Star with zombies. I'd say Mad Max but not quite enough punching. That one Chris costume is canon. All Chris costumes are canon.

Manage a BSAA squad, raise their skills and deploy them across the world to BOW/viral hotspots that are quickly spinning out of control, search for cures by finding laboratories. Naturally, turns are interspersed by deploying yourself to one of the sites, clearing the monster dungeon, and upgrading your equipment/skills/etc.

I still want a BSAA themed XCOM game. Pretty much all of the game play elements from XCOM could transplant into the RE universe. Even the Enemy Within stuff like cybernetics and genetic enhancement.

Like a person who was once fat Chris doesn't like to talk about his unbulked phase. If they do flashbacks in future games if Chris is telling the story he needs to be jacked and if Jill is telling it he needs to be RE1 size.

If only the series were this self-aware, because that would be loving hilarious. Beefbus Chris is how I remember him, playing through Remake I completely forgot how different his character model was in the previous titles.

Chris hit the gym for the same reason a lot of us do. Wesker's betrayal wasn't just professional, it was personal. It was the world's worst break up, and Chris started on a journey of self-improvement, partly for himself and partly to make his ex jealous.

I like how Chris and Jill are pretty much all business. Its hilarious in Revelations how Jessica is hitting on him and he just ignores her. Then he gets all worried about his old teammate and stresses about it, then when he finally finds her, the first thing he brings up is how powerful some grenades are. Despite all that, I for some reason, really like Chris as a character. Even more so than Leon who I think is kind of overexposed after being in both of those Resident Evil movies.

It's one of the few games I can think of where the sole playable character is female, so you gotta do something to make sure the boys buy it, I suppose. Look at how Lara Croft was dressing right around the same time, it's fairly similar.

From what I understand, no, they never come out and say that. However, ultra-masculine behavior in Japan is treated as much more of an indication of homosexuality, so even if Chris is never outright stated to be gay, he would fit most of the stereotypes pretty well.

Jake -> Sherry Leon -> Helena Chris -> Piers I mean, watch that video with Jessica again. He stops just shy of saying "...Look honey, you're barking up the wrong tree." How many ultra masculine adolescent male power fantasies have you seen physically reject a woman's advances? Even Big Boss ended up having sex with Eva despite being totally gay for Ocelot.

Huh. I thought it would have taken a lot more than 15 handgun bullets to down Tyrant in the lab. It actually seems more cost efficient to do that instead of burning through magnum, shotgun and grenade ammo.
