Shame Leon doesn't doesn't really get someone like Irons. The reporter - Ben I think? - isn't memorable at all. Good line reading on "Make. Him. Pay!" though. Even though you don't.

Resident Evil 7 only slightly fell short of sales projections too. It wasn't a colossal failure by any stretch for Capcom, just not quite as much as they hoped.

IIRC it was in the top 10 bestselling games this year in terms of digital sales or something, by all means it should be counted as a success for them

Lol leon watches him explode and barely reacts,a loving giant cockroaches sprouts from ben and crawls towards the exit,leon does nothing just watches it,ada comes through the door that the cockroach ran towards and is like "huh so uh what was that all about?" ignoring the exploded body behind leon.

Oh and the giant monster got out of a single door hallway,i like to imagine he was huddled in the corner and leon just ignored it cause it's clearly a retard. lol

It looks like in the original RE 2 alpha version, the hallway was still there, but instead of holding cells it leads to a shooting range.

Also originally Leon and Ada were supposed to fight a giant zombie ape in the parking lot area where they first meet. I'm kind of sad that got cut even if it makes no goddamn sense at all.

I don't know if they were like that in original unreleased game files, or just something added by the restoration team as a joke, but the name tags on the dogs kennels are "Rocky", "JoJo", "Claire" and "Piers"

But that's where Leon starts from! There's only two things that make sense. Either Birkin ran like hell very quietly out of the cells and into the kennels/sewer or he hid under one of the cell beds and ran into the chessboard lock room when Leon was in the safe room.

We don't know how flexible Birkin's body was at that point, maybe he just squished through a vent somewhere?

This is what always bothered me so much about that cutscene. Leon sees a monster go full-on chestbursters in a shower of blood and gore and scurry away, and..... does not react at all. He doesn't raise his gun, he doesn't make an exclamation, he doesn't even recoil. (And don't tell me the game was sophisticated enough, they use the 'backing away' animation to show characters recoiling in other cases.) He just blankly stares at it as it crawls away.

It was just too much for him to handle, so he froze up. Making one-liners is his way of never freezing up again.

New theory: Hunnigan in RE 4 & 6 is not a real person but just a mental creation of Leon's in order to give himself rational guidance in a insane world after the events of Raccoon City broke his mind.

Speaking of RE2, is that group still piecing together a version of RE 1.5 that is playable from start to finish? I remember a YouTube channel that had some intriguing updates of what they found in the code, particularly about what direction the story was going in by translating some of the intended Japanese subtitles iirc, and the idea of Irons as a rational dude trying to help you out is a hell of a turn away from the finished product

I think they are but they've adopted the rarely seen tactic of "shut the gently caress up when making a fan game". I only ever hear what they're doing like maybe once every 6 months.

To be fair, it was locking himself in a jail cell and parking an immobilized police van in front of the cellblock door. It worked well enough that he survived the crap that happened to everyone in the rest of the building, but then Birkin shows up and that's game. You could point out here that Leon and Ada moved the van, but it's not like Birkin couldn't have; he had superhuman strength even in his first form.

Were some of those Leon lines cut from the actual game, or was that just 'flavor' dialogue strictly for the ad to get people hype about a zombie game?

I loved finding the letters/memos in the police station about the Chief. There's a few from a receptionist or something talking about accidentally bumping statues when cleaning and the Chief flipping his poo poo. The last one you find from her pretty much implies 'Welp, found the Chief's rape dungeon...'

They kind of did in Darkside Chronicles by having Claire and Leon not meet Ben while he was alive. They enter that part of the station, hear Ben shouting, peek around the corner to see G1 Birkin shambling towards the kennels and decide to wait it out because hoooooly gently caress. Then when they find Ben he wrote out his file on his cell wall with...something

Flavour dialogue for the ad. Sounds nothing like Leon ingame :U

I was playing RE2 last night (Claire A) and holy loving Christ did RNG troll me hard during the last Birkin fight. Normally he's dropped in what, roughly 15 Acid Rounds over both forms?

Nope. 17 + another 7 or 8 Flame Rounds on top of that. Seriously, like what the gently caress? I know there's an upper/lower threshold for damage but this was just bullshit. To rub it in further, the fucker wouldn't flinch at all no matter what; usually he at least sort of stumbles around a bit during his four-armed phase when hit by every other round or so, but instead he gleefully ignored all that nonsense and just floated toward me like a loving Hitler Ghost from Wolf3D, landing hits on me like I'd dropped my loving controller (which I very nearly did out of disbelief at this loving ridiculous event). If I didn't cram my inventory with healing items out of habit then I'd have been snuffed out in those opening 90 seconds and left feeling like the 150 minutes prior were a total waste of time.

That brings to mind my biggest complaint about RE 5. The lack of virus infected wildlife.

I mean, the game is set in an area with some of the largest and unique animals on earth, yet the only thing they bothered to include were just regular sized crocodiles, more dogs, and a generic giant crab spider.

It was such a waste and they could have done some really neat things like having an infected bull elephant instead of just reusing a gigante for the vehicle section, or going crazy with something like a giraffe that could split its head and neck into multiples
like a hydra.
