The start of the Resident Evil story is a prime example of companies being run poorly. A bunch of poo poo starts going wrong and everyone just assumes someone else will handle it. Then the city is nuked. I can only imagine the lay offs.

They don't have to bother with those because everyone gets turned into a zombie anyway. These are the guys that sent out a death squad to the city and then abandoned them, and apparently sent a death squad to deal with that death squad (and maybe another one to kill them? I have entirely forgotten if that was in ORC). I have to wonder if anyone in Umbrella actually gets a paycheck.

Someone in charge of hiring the death squads at Umbrella knocked a book onto their keyboard and didn't realise,before you know it you've got 50 death squads all trying to clean each other up,just mountains of bodies.

RE3: they hire a who's-who of easily deniable, incredibly expendable mercenaries, most of whom they got out of prison for the job, to go into the city and rescue VIPs. If they have time after that, they're to rescue civilians. They do not succeed, even before Nicolai decides he could drive up his wages if he killed everyone else in the city. What's odd about RE3 is that the guys you see in the UBCS who aren't Nicolai are generally well-meaning but basically set up to fail. I think it's Carlos who says at one point that the UBCS received almost no operational intelligence, so they had no idea they were being dropped into the middle of a zombie outbreak. ORC: instead of leveraging the G-Virus to try and get on Umbrella's board of directors, Birkin goes to the feds, which results in Raccoon City's population doubling and they're all U.S. Special Forces troops. The Wolfpack gets screwed over for exfiltration, so they go rogue and start destroying everything Umbrella would prefer to preserve, which results in more goons and monsters being dropped into the city to stop them. I think.

Carlos' line "We're just mercenaries; hired hands!" pretty much sums up why he and the rest of the UBCS were pretty much doomed from the start. Some higher-up at Umbrella's "Oh poo poo We Gotta Fix This" department (or maybe Chief Irons with a bag over his head*) most likely just said "go here and do stuff for a fat reward!", booted them out of the briefing room, and resumed eating his lunch. That was probably about it as far as their info went. No survivors (from any side) means no whistleblowing and no expenses! It's win-win! That and it looks like they tried to help with the situation should the incident gain unwanted attention from outside, but bleh whatever. *Okay his face is hidden by shadows really, but as a kid I was convinced he had a bag over his head for some reason.

I really don't know how he could leverage the G-virus in any way though. The T-virus makes zombies and monsters but none of them are indestructible so you can dump it on a populated area, wait for a bit and them mop up. The G-virus makes one nearly unstoppable monster bastard. If you can decouple the functional immortality from the monsterism it'd be useful, but no one in RE ever works out how to do that consistently.

Umbrella doesn't even like zombies, they're in the BOW business. Zombies are just a side effect from poor testing/leaks. From that perspective the G virus results are pretty great, more testing could have provided something closer to the C-virus which was easier to weaponize/control with some of the mutative power.

So what's the pitch for the G virus then? Basically just Tyrants but the creation process results in fewer failures? I feel like the completely indestructible thing combined with the uncontrollable urge to reproduce would make it somewhat limited.

It's not so much selling the virus itself, but the research that led to it so they can refine the thing into something actually useful. G's big advantages are the ridiculous regenerative/mutative ability, which no virus before or since has really matched. From what I understand they scienced up the C virus by using the G virus base and adding T-veronica which made the mutations easier to manage. Or something. Resident Evil virology is silly

Modding the game like this is impressive, but what is up with that game balance? There's barely any ammo and enemy numbers have been jacked to bad romhack levels. I always thought the endgame for the G-Virus would be to refine it to some sort of youth elixir. Market it as something to keep everyone youthful, but the effects wear off eventually so you have to keep buying their product.

I don't find the insane enemy count to be clever game design, though I'm not sure you can do a lot given that everything in the background is pre rendered.

I noticed the damage has been pumped up too, but it's probably the modder thinking that Hunk is so cool and can totally headshot zombies everytime. I just thought it was impressive that the modder was able to make custom in-game cutscenes there. Too bad about the writing.

The demo for Mortal Night was a lot worse. Seriously increased enemy count (which respawned), manufactured backtracking that made those respawns painful (i.e. There's enough items along a one-way path that you have to go back to an item box to get them all), and less items. It was even more of an exercise in pain, especially since I'm pretty sure you didn't even have the knife for when (not if) you ran out of ammo. The part that sticks out to me the most is the West Squadroom, where you meet/kill Marvin in the base game. That room had something like twenty-five zombies in it, with a big group right near the door in. Guaranteed to remove most of your ammo, especially if you didn't know to search the zombie with a key item.

RE 0 could have been interesting if a majority of the game took place in the forest outside of Raccoon City. The new section in REmake where you have to go outside to Lisa's cabin was short, but very well done and creepy as hell. But no, in RE0 you literally crash a train right into the side of another mansion. Vakal fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Sep 10, 2017 |
