You know, I actually agree with you two on the game focusing on Parker and Jessica instead. Or at least, not focus on 2/3 of the RE trinity of Chris/Jill/Leon. I noticed this starting with RE5, but Capcom is hesitant to let go of past characters, to almost an alarming level. RE5 was hyped up as Jill having died, except she's alive and under mind control because of reasons established in RE3 and cemented later on in this game. RE6 felt like it should have been Jake and Sherry's game, yet it had Leon riding shotgun with a pile of dead weight and tits (Helena), Ada hyped up as playing an important role, but then became an exposition source because Capcom made the game and realized they forgot a place to throw in the plot dump, and Chris literally being tacked on at the very end of development to help draw in more people. And even then, (RE6 spoilers)Chris' campaign got rewritten so Chris wouldn't die at the end. Here, we have a similar situation; newer characters (Parker, Raymond, O'Brien, and even Jessica) turning out more entertaining than the previously established characters (Chris and Jill). I just wish that Capcom would let the fresh faces have more importance in this franchise. Instead, we get the fan favorites stealing the spotlight and have the more interesting newer characters relegated to supporting roles.

 , the live-action "Resident Evil" movies. Or as other people (myself included) call them: "Paul W.S. Anderson's 'Mila Jovovich exploitation series'".I still don't know how Anderson managed to fart out more than one of those films, let alone FIVE of them.

Jessica...you were "meh" to me before. But now you've killed David Bowie. You have crossed the line.

The main difference between Jill and Alice is that Jill has never truly been "god-modded for the sake of the plot" outside of Revelations, whereas Alice is constantly god-modded over the course of the Resident Evil movies because she's the director's girlfriend/fiance/wife. For her previous infections, Jill had to go out of her way and find a cure for the virus that had infected her, which added some tension to the gameplay. Here...we don't get that. Jill just finds a vaccine, injects herself with it, and then swims through the virus tank like it's nothing. I'll be the first to agree that Jill doing all of that within minutes of casually injecting a vaccine (seriously, who just up and injects a vaccine into their body with such a calm demeanor?), and then coming out perfectly fine is just ridiculous. But then again, Jill hasn't been made into a completely superhuman Mary Sue like Alice. She still can't drop a haymaker on boulders like Chris "Punch Rockgroin" Redfield can, for example.

Ah, Chris. Your non-reaction in these videos is so hilarious considering what gets done to your character in (chronologically) the next two games in the franchise.

Well....there kind of is a laser gun in RE5. It's a special unlockable weapon that's more or less an aimed satellite laser, but it counts. As for RE7 rumor mills, I would be genuinely interested in how they'd bring back Claire. Degeneration made it really clear that Claire is now "retired" and devoted to helping people behind the scenes from bio-terror attacks, rather than on the front lines like her brother. That said, Claire returning would a welcome treat. But personally, I just want Jake and Sherry's Excellent Adventure instead.
