Did you see what happened to the President and how bad the BOW problem was? Being Secret Service is a death sentence!

And at some point they know Leon’s gonna have to drive you somewhere. It’s like being given a red shirt in the Star Trek universe, more or less.

Helena's backstory aside, I have to say one of my biggest issues with the series is that we're constantly being instructed to care about these new characters, and yet anyone who plays more than one of these games already knows that they're not coming back.

I would like Helena, Josh, Steve's body, Mia, Natalia, Moira, etc a lot more if I knew they had any chance of being in a future game.

Was there a reason why in RE4 instead of calling it the Secret Service they call it A SECRET GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION CHARGED WITH PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY? I forget do they actually call it the Secret Service in-game in RE6?

I have to agree with this. I'm not saying it has to be an even smaller world where everyone pops up in every game, but I don't think they ever really found a good balance between newcomers and recurring folks.

I was frankly shocked when ABSOLUTELY loving NO ONE died in Revelations. Like, talk about sidelined.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
I'm trying to figure out how to merge the one-off characters across the series to reduce that problem. Merge Helena and Ingrid Hannigan, for instance. I'm still trying to just clean up RE0 and RE1.

Have an RE where every single one of them come back as multiflavor pack of Wesker virus’d loonies

The catch is that only Barry has to actually deal with them while everyone else is on vacation, and he presses Brad, who is only as competent as a normal human with the augmentation of the super virus, into forced co-op service and gun mule duty

Just release a stand alone Mercenaries/Raide Mode game with every character to date in it with every weapon/map/scenario/etc. they can possibly think of. Like it can't be like Mercenaries 3DS it'd need to have a huge amount of content but it would own.

Put it on steam, make it free to play, and charge $60 to play as Barry. It will turn a profit I guarantee.

They did add a lot of guests in Raid for Revelations 2. Chris, Leon, Jill, Wesker, Hunk, etc.

But because it was just old models from RE6 or Rev1 or whatever it felt kinda lifeless.

We want a story, damnit! Have Galactus summon everyone or something!

A World War Bio finale game would be pretty cool to bring everyone together

I genuinely thought around 5 that the next games would build up to reveal that the plants and poo poo that makes all this bio poo poo possible came from space or some weird poo poo to explain their qualities and we'd get some borderline cosmic survival horror out of the deal

Wesker was already gunning full shoggoth with his uroborous poo poo

It does feel like they're aware of how deep their bench is, since they have brought a few different characters back from limbo now and again. Sherry had to wait 13 years to show up again in a game that wasn't just retelling RE2.

Smirking_Serpent posted:

Helena hosed up her sister's abusive boyfriend and got sent away to the stupid mindless shameful job of... being part of the Secret Service? The kind of job where they interview your cousin's dog's husband to find out everything about you?

I got the impression that it was entirely because Simmons stuck her there. He wanted somebody who was hilariously easy to manipulate, and Helena threw her entire career away in order to protect her sister, so she qualified.

That being said, I keep consistently coming back to Piers dragging a drunken, surly, amnesiac Chris halfway across the world to an urban war zone and handing him full battle rattle, and I think that boggles my loving mind to such an extent that everything else in RE6 doesn't register as much as it should.

If you aint Raccoon City survivor, gtfo.

I dont mind them introducing new characters like Ethan in RE7 because putting average joes in the middle of a outbreak makes a pretty good horror game, apparently.

I equally liked Chris coming back to sanitize the whole place afterwards with a full auto shotgun.

While I’m not discounting what we gained in super monster suplexes and DDTs from Jake it occurs to me that considering Sherry in RE6 is quasi-superhuman herself - at least in cutscenes - that part of the game could have been about Nu-Umbrella coming after her for that and Claire getting tossed into the mix somehow and them having sister action adventures.
They make a good team.

The original REmake took the mansion and expanded basically everything. Would a REmake2 style remake of RE1 be streamlining RE1 or REmake?

I don't know if you could remake remake in the style of re2 without drastically changing it since a lot of the game is about dodging, not maiming and the hallways are tighter than the police station.

Dude grats! Also thanks for the link, I'm trying to watch and absorb as much as I can.

I think the short list of things I'm working on is (For Leon Runs) :
1. get the Mr. X punch dodging down to a science
2. eschew the shotgun until NEST
3. Having cleaner G fights (G1 is not getting hit by the command grab, G2 is timing the crane, G3 is actually knowing how much damage I need to do to kill it)

Sit around doing nothing during the credits of a 2nd Run and "Credit Line of Whole Staff" eventually blares out as the last track, at least if you have the original OST enabled. It's the little things :allears:

Yeah I'm also working on the punch dodge thing, I kind of have the distance, but my timing is still bad. I'm about 50% dodge rate right now.
Getting the shotgun until NEST is probably why I don't like playing Leon as much as Claire, also Claire has a much easier G3 fight, I feel like the primary strength of Leon's arsenal is his ability to no-sell zombies with the shotty, but then I also don't do many Leon runs so :v:
You're going to need a flashbang or a grenade for G1 to guarantee skipping the throw either on 120 or 60fps. I don't have good Leon G2 and G3 strats haha.

Simmons used Helena's sister as leverage to make Helana open a gap in the president's security, allowing Simmons to zombify him and also most of a small college town. And I guess Leon just stood in the blue gas and tanked it until it went away?
