It'll actually have nothing to do with evil pharmaceutical companies or bio-weapons. It'll just be Barry Burton as a private investigator for hire solving crimes and mysteries.

I'd be all for a Resident Evil version of Training Day with Leon as the rookie and Wesker as Denzel.

Didn't Umbrella make a ton of money as a legit pharmaceutical company? Or is it implied that the intent of the company from Day One was to make bioweapons for reasons?

The back story for Umbrella changed and got more convoluted with each sequel.

I believe in the original game, all that was said was that the T-Virus was originally created to infect enemies prisoners of war with so they could be returned to their own countries and cause a ruckus.
All the giant monsters and mutants came later when they started experimenting on non-humans with it.

Those games were so much fun. Maybe you can find a video store that rents systems, or just pick up a cheap Wii. Watch the LP as a last resort. Unlike most Resident evils that are great spectator games, Umbrella Chronicles you really need to be hands on with.

Do any of the LPs go for a 100% collection rate?

I swear I've shot every goddamn breakable in of those games and still I missed almost half of all the collectibles and files.

If they remake RE2, you will have an option to go with the traditional ending of Leon B by blowing up the Tyrant with a Rocket Launcher or you can be a pro and defeat it with a roundhouse kick.

Every line of Leon's dialog should be updated as well to just have him shaking his head slowly and saying "Huh. Women..."


Seriously, outside of that one guy he talks to that is locked up in the cell in the police station, it would totally work.

Nah, Barry died and had his ashes forged into a Magnum which his daughter carries around and seemingly talks to.

So, basically Janeane Garofalo's character from Mystery men.

It's a crying shame that they squandered the Operation Raccoon City concept, because it's a loving baller idea and a great way to do a quasi-remake of RE2 without treading old ground.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the days of ever seeing brand-new content based in Raccoon city are long past.

At this point the only RE game that I could see myself really getting behind would be an X-COM style game where you send rookie BSAA members around the globe to stomp out bio-weapons attacks.

Bonus points for having an explorable base so I can watch Commander Redfield do battle with a steak in the mess hall.

One of the neat things about the original RE was you could occasionally get stuff to trigger differently by doing things in a different order. I'm sure I once got the 'rescue Rebecca from the Hunter' bit to spawn in a different room but I've no idea what I did to change it.

The best for this was right at the start of Jill's scenario where if you went back to the dining room without encountering the first zombie, it would eventually wander out on its own prompting Barry to shoot it like four times with his magnum, thus making it the strongest zombie in the entire series.

Is there a lore based explanation for why there isn't tons of cops/sheriffs swarming the mansion the second one of their SWAT teams get trapped in it. Is the other STARS team that Rebecca was on the only backup in raccoon city?

There's also the chance they did try to help, but just ended up at one of the several identical mansion out in those loving woods.

RE 6 is more of a brawler than a shooter. Guns just soften enemies up so you can get close enough to punch them in the face. Don't play it like RE 4 or 5 because everyone does that and then gets frustrated with the game.

Which is why I think RE 6 would have been better if they just stuck with Sherry and Jake for the entire thing. The dynamic of having an almost purely melee focused character paired with a ranged support one just seemed mesh together the best.

I never got the chance to play RE5 co-op, and it's still one of my favourite games in the series. I'd wait for the inevitable Halloween sale before dropping the money on the DLC though. I mean, it's good, but it's not that good.

Yeah, a friend and I have been trying to get through the RE 6 campaign in co-op, but it's such a slog at times, especially if you just want to have fun shooting stuff and don't feel like mastering the melee system.

Now that RE 5 is on steam I think we'll jump over to that.

So, is there a fix to this control freeze bug i'm encountering on what i'm assuming is the first stage of the final boss in the 4th episode of revelations 2 (PC version)?

After the cutscene where she-wesker injects herself and i'm returned to the "gameplay" i'm frozen in the spot and the only button on my 360 controller that works is the start button. My mouse cursor is also on screen but keyboard controls aren't working either.

edit: gently caress it, i just watched the fight/ending on youtube. Turns out there's loads of people with the issue and no fix.

Other than the lovely boss bug, the game was quite enjoyable. I maybe could have done with less of the co-op buddy stuff, but as far as atmosphere goes, it's by and far one of the better resident evil games made. It really nailed the claustrophobic Saw/gore/silent hill style vibe a lot which i guess is a bit of a shift from it's original tones, but does kinda work well even in a guns blazing action game.


I had that same issue happen to me, but It didn't do it all the time though. I just kept choosing the reset to last checkpoint option and skipping the cutscene until the controls worked. took a couple of tries.

I also agree with your overall assessment of the game. It started slow, but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. I'm hesitant on playing past the campaign on the PC version though until I see how the Vita port turns out. If I'm going to invest a ton of hours into the Raid mode content, I think going mobile would be the better option.


Also, in regards to the ending: Short-Haired Claire wearing Ada's red silk shirt :eyepop:

The RE 2 remake is all fine and good, but what we really need is Resident Evil: The Brad Vickers Chronicles.

I want to see the horror in my teammate's eyes as I fly away, leaving them all to their deaths just because I heard some dogs barking outside of my sealed military helicopter cockpit.

I want an exciting mini-game of trying to keep a helicopter hovering perfectly level while somehow also managing to toss a loaded rocket launcher out of the side door.

I want to learn about what was happening in the RCPD building during the initial zombie siege. Mainly to find out why Brad spent his time putting a cowgirl stripper outfit in his locker instead of barricading the station against the undead.


Also, preferably all in VR so we can really see that Nemesis tentacle coming right at our face.

If Umbrella is involved, there's an 80% chance that there is a sprawling multi-billion dollar complex located under that abandoned house.


Though I would be perfectly fine if it turns out just being Chris and Leon driving around America in a van investigation haunted houses and punching whatever they find in the face, be it ghost or monster.
