Resident Evil 7 is going to blow our minds, says Capcom Producer.

...We assume it's "God" because the Japanese canon materials say it's short for the God Virus.

Oh, OK.

[Canas Renvall]

Nope, they assume it's "God" because of the vaccine being named "Devil".
But that's not the damn point anyway.

...Ya know there are times when even I cant say it, heres a meme for ya.

Probably from the supplemental material thats been a Japan only thing since the games beginning, which is a real pisser to anyone who isn't Japanese as all this shit IS cannon and most of us are just hearing about it because NB translates this stuff.

Revelations 2 is already a failure to me, the writers are out of originality and decided to repeat the whole "The right to be a God is now mine!" bullshit.
I would have more empathy with the idea if it weren't Alex, but it seems CAPCOM will just throw whatever crap that has the name "Wesker" on the story to keep it going and appeasing the fanboys.

Who knows, maybe RE7 will have Wesker's mom, who came back for revenge.

[RE-Hiro]

Hi, i was checking all the posts and i was like: XD



I would like to weigh in on the whole: "RE first games are way better than modern RE games!! RE5-6 are shit!! All new villains are so unoriginal!"

I think we all should see the bigger picture here. There is a psychological explanation for why we want the old survival horror games. Our mind keep fixating in all the things we loved when we were younger because it reminds us of a happier time. Is not that the new games are not good, is just because they can fight the "idealized" old games, so that's why most people hate RE4-5-6 and so..

I have the same feeling, even thought i just don't enjoy as much as the first games that doesn't mean they are bad games. They are just not "meant" for us. The younger generations seems to be more excited about them. Most of my students, and even my cousin and nephew enjoy the new more-action-oriented RE games.

Also everthing that newsbot and wrathborne wrote is right...

Any way, getting back to the original discussion. I would love to see what RE7 brings to the table. Lately i tried to focus more on the story that the actual gameplay, so it would be great to see where the series is going.

And where exactly did you read G stands for God?

[News Bot]

So you're saying you don't actually have a reason?

Well... there is always the point he called his virus G(od) Virus and vaccine against it was codenamed Devil after all, it was supposed to be superior to T and provide procreative BOW. That doesn't entirely speak of his motives but it does at least give you some insight into his thoughts I guess, certainly doesn't sound like it would leave humans in any sort of dominant position anyhow.

And where exactly did you read G stands for God?

Do you actually have a reason or are you just generally mopey?

Do you actually shut up, or you can't because you take too much pride in your "I'm always right" complex?
Do you have to turn every opinion I give in this goddamn forum into a right/wrong debate? Really, dude. Just STFU.

No, I'll do that for you. I'll put you on my ignore list.

[News Bot]

Spencer wanted forced extinction, viral evolution and to rule over a superhuman species as a god. Albert Wesker wanted the same thing. Birkin wanted viral evolution without forced extinction or the desire to rule as a god, but he wanted power in exchange. Edward Ashford and James Marcus wanted to make only themselves superhuman while using Umbrella to gain power over the world. Viral evolution is the most important part of these plans and the Wesker Project was tied directly into it.

Alex wanted the same thing as Spencer, but mostly just because she despised him and wanted to spite him. Her methods were also very different due to her fascination with fear. She also liked Albert, whereas Albert would've hunted her down to kill her if he knew about her. They are quite different characters in terms of personality and motivations.

Well... there is always the point he called his virus G(od) Virus and vaccine against it was codenamed Devil after all, it was supposed to be superior to T and provide procreative BOW. That doesn't entirely speak of his motives but it does at least give you some insight into his thoughts I guess, certainly doesn't sound like it would leave humans in any sort of dominant position anyhow.

In BIO2, Irons calls the G-Virus "a tool to promote human evolution." This is completely erased in the English version and he calls it the "ultimate bioweapon." Its purpose goes back to 1.5 where Birkin was a good guy whose work was misappropriated by Umbrella. Birkin's goal was to create "G-Humans", superhumans comparable to gods. The reason he injected himself with the G-Virus was because he took a gamble on whether the incomplete virus would heal him a G-Human or not.

That's your opinion, you may like it, I don't.

Again, your opinion.
Are you insinuating William's plan from the beginning was to wipe out humanity with the G-Virus, create a new breed of humans and rule the world as its God? Because I never felt that it was what he always wanted.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Wesker Children project in general.

Alex isn't an exact copy of Albert. Going by that logic, Spencer and Albert are exact copies. Birkin too. The only similarity between them is that they desired the viral evolution of humanity, the whole point of the series.

lol you know nothing about RE from this post...the wesker child project isn't something capcom just came up with...geeez what a derp

...
Really now? u_u

But you're kinda right, CAPCOM didn't just came up with that.
They had ordered someone to write RE5, then he created this shitty backstory about Wesker and Spencer, CAPCOM gave its approval, and thus, the Wesker Children project was born.

What upsets me about Alex isn't that she's part of the Wesker Children project,
it's that she is an exact copy of Albert Wesker.

[Chris' Boob]

Because the main villain is the failure of someone's writing skills.
I thought there was hope, that they wouldn't continue to give more shit to the dead guy and would try to write a good story.

But no... What do I get instead?
Spoiler:

Female wesker. Complete with all the same plans, personality, and motives of Wesker.
It's like they're not even trying anymore. Just recycle RE5 and call it a game.
