Can't wait to get home from work and play Resident Evil 4 AGAIN.

fuckin' A, man. I still have to finish DOOM and only just started playing Deus Ex / King of Fighters but all I wanna do is start up RE4.

Is the version this is based on following the Gamecube weapon stats or the PS2's? The guns had different bonuses i.e. PS2 and onward toned down certain gun strength upgrades.

They could just make a scientific research management game like one of these old kairosoft games for phones and sell shitloads of copies. Make it kind of dumb like the rest of the series with stuff like "hey, your product made 15% more zombies than your previous version, well done!".

I'd love a Resident Evil XCOM-strategy game featuring most of the main cast and with cool missions like "hold off zombies and Lickers for 10 turns" or "get to the train while Hunters overrun a science lab"

I'd also put in a special Nemesis difficulty wherein that ugly gently caress has a random chance to appear in any mission to gently caress you over. It'd be maximum XCOM fuckery.

They pretty much have this already. Vipers in XCOM 2 work very similarly to Lickers, mechnically speaking, and the Alien Rulers DLC gives you three different flavors of cheaty rear end in a top hat Nemesis. Hunters match up pretty well with Chryssalids and Tyrants to Berserkers.

Hell, the game already even has a melee system for Maximum Redfield.

STARS/BSAA functioning on XCOM logic makes total sense. Chris is unstoppable because he survived so many missions his level is through the roof and he has all the great perks. Kenneth? gently caress Kenneth, we barely remembered to give him a name.

Better off Ted is probably the closest we'll get to anything showing the daily operations of Umbrella. Which is sad because I feel like there would be a market for a game where the player works for Umbrella but isn't one of their elite mercenaries or some poo poo.

EVILCOM: Play as a team of USS officers tasked with cleaning up BOW outbreaks, and in-between missions, play as Umbrella scientists cooking up ridiculous new projects. The more aggressively the science team pursues their campaign objective, the more difficult and frequent the combat sections are.

So, really, any dumb schmuck at Umbrella could just point at any random chemical concoction and say "Hey, what if we injected that into Larry?" and almost every time the higher-ups would reply "Go for it, man, you do you." The truly amazing thing about Umbrella is that while all this was happening, they were wildly successful, most assuredly due to the efforts of the most exhausted and world-weary CFO in history. None of the games really touch on that, and we'll never know who that person was, but at least we can rest assured that they were definitely murdered.
I think I prefer the idea of the CFO having been completely unaware of all the weird poo poo going on in the company, until the day he was arrested by the US government and brought to court to answer for the crimes of Umbrella. All on his lonesome of course, because all the other higher ups had assassinated each other or gone into hiding.

Carlos never died, so far as I know. He just disappeared into the same continuity black hole Rebecca Chambers and Billy Cohen and Sheva live in post-game.

Who knows? Maybe they just pulled a Claire, decided they were Sick of This poo poo, and were a little more successful in making it stick.

Carlos dies in zero endings. He's just cast into the secondary character Phantom Zone with Rebecca, Billy, possibly Nicholai, Steve's corpse, Ashley, Sheva, Josh, and all the spin-off games' casts. I'm sure Helena and Jake from RE6 will be setting up shop there too.

I think Jake has potential to return if just because he's a kung-fu Wesker from gangster city and that's pretty ripe if they ever go back to action-town instead of setting up camp in spooky cameraville.

Rebecca is a weird case. Sometimes, Capcom does remember she exists and we get things like RE0 HD, those crazy novels from the 90s, or that stage play set in Australia co-starring Chris and Piers. Then, there are times when it's like Capcom only believes they made about 6 characters total for the entirety of the franchise and Rebecca (and all those you mentioned) gets the "Who?" treatment.

Rebecca is actually one of the better characters in re5 mercs, especially on no mercy where she can get huge chain kills with her flame spray head melee. Unfortunately she lacks a magnum/rifle which makes bosses a bit less trivial.
