Where are the spin-ofss ?

[Archelon]

Indeed... And, maybe it's just me, but I still think CODE: Veronica totally deserved the "4" title. I'm still a little bitter that they didn't give it to the game, but whatever... It doesn't make that much of a difference, I suppose.

Oh, it definitely deserved a numbered title. I seem to recall hearing about some weird sort of "exclusivity" deal Capcom had with Sony where numbered titles in the series couldn't appear on other consoles at the time. Not sure if it's true or not, but it does explain why the game was called CODE: Veronica.

Strictly speaking, any game that does not have a number in the title is a spinoff. CODE: Veronica, Umbrella Chronicles, and Gun Survivor are technically spinoffs, but they are considered canon. CODE: Veronica, in particular, is unique in that it is considered part of the main series.

ElusionM was talking about UC, not Outbreaks ;).

Reading comprehension ftl.

(I'm referring to myself, not you.)

How do you even define "spin-off"? Was Survivor a spin-off? Incident on Sheena Island was mentioned in the opening of Zero - so it was cannon then.

Gun Survivor, as you mentioned, is referenced in the opening of Zero, but that's all we hear about it in any of the main games. Dead Aim may be considered canon, but it's tenuously so, because Wesker's Extra Report mentions that Umbrella had a boat it used to ship and sell its bioweapons. It is not mentioned by name, but in all likelihood, the ship is the Spencer Rain.

When did they say that? I distinctly recall one of the developers saying that the scenarios were more "what if's" than anything. Not to mention RE4, UC, and Degen all show that it was a single nuclear missile that destroyed Raccoon City, not several non-nuclear missiles. Also, the T-Virus vaccine in Degeneration isn't Daylight. It was developed by WilPharma.

I posted this in another thread, but I had an interesting idea where, if indeed Jill is BMW and is made the main focus in part six if it is made, that the storyline would somehow involve her now being a fugitive on the run from both Tricell, the government and even Chris himself now that she is in effect made into a new and improved bio weapon with untold abilities and seems to be of her own person and uncontrollable. Well, who better than to send after her and bring her back but HUNK himself ? He is already a pretty popular side character to those who follow the mythos and more and mroe in recent games he has been given more of the spotlight and more to do, so why not make him a main plot point in part six ?

Also, by doing it this way you could also bring back side characters associated with RE 1 as Jill would try to track people down that could help her with her mission to reclaim her old life and try to find out what exactly was done to her and if it could be reversed.

UC is canon, but there are also non canon events, for example where are Barry, Enrico and Nicolai??? they don't appear during the game but they're mentioned in few files of the game.
Capcom did a mess with UC.

However I would like to see a multiplayer (more than 2 player) online RE for Xbox 360 and PS3.

[Gradon]

EDIT:apprently it was in english...



huh? I never seen that in my life.

Europe doesn't exist to most people it seems.
I got that for £13, quite the bargain, was in my local GameStation.
Also, I would love a spin-off on PS3.

Biohazard Rebirth the remake of the first PS game on the Gamecube.

[RE-Hiro]

The main series (beside BH0 and BHRB) was only ported to the cube.

BHRB????? what's that?????

[rewak]

Umbrella Chronicles is not a spin-off.

It depicts of the events of the main characters of the series, Chris and Jill, and what they did in the years to take down Umbrella.

And how Ada got away from Raccoon City

[Archelon]

Not a spin-off neverthless.
Capcom stated those events to be the canon ones. No matter how poorly they scripted them out.

It was released in PAL territories anyway because I have it.

back on topic, I would love to see a proper Outbreak title on PS3. With co-op (online) now in RE5, they could make a proper online experience! Oh and Id like to see a Create-a-player in it too! ;)
