Significance of Allyson

[Beanovsky Durst]

You guys obviously haven't figured out how to rescue Allyson yet...

Yes I did. With a well placed magnum shot in the head. Now she's resting safely... in hell.

But anyway, she was just a marketing plot. That and Adam's blog. However was a very interesting read though.

Here's how:

Just Kidding

The resulting cutscene is really interesting

she's only in there because of 2 things

boobs
upskirt pics

because we know the Japanese love both of these *see perverted Japanese men*

Yeah, it would be nice of them to include Adam's blog somewhere in the game (even as a file in the library), because it was really an interesting view on the whole degradation and barbarisation of people in Kijuju, how from ordinary citizens within few days they all started to act like brutal savages.

[Mr. Rod]

Yeah, to Capcom's logic it isn't weird, but it wouldn't have harmed anyone to include the posts from the Kijuju blog as files near that house. It was probably an afterthought...

[Mr_Zombie]

But it's still weird to make a completely new character just for the purpose of killing her within few seconds and not even mentioning her again after that... But then again, no, it's not weird. Capcom already did this with other characters in previous games (Kendo, Tyrell, Murphy, a scientist in RECV, cops from RE4...).

[Mr. Rod]

When people hacked the RE5 demo, wasn't the name "Sherry" in the code? Or was that just a rumor someone started.

Nope.

I think Allyson was added just to throw some variety. I don't even think Capcom wanted us to believe it was Sherry, or Jill with blonde hair either. They just didn't have plans for her in this game.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Alysson was just there to throw us off guard, to make us think she might be Sherry or someone with importance. I don't think she had any significance whatsoever.

[Stu]

"Allyson" wasn't even named in the game, "Allyson" just filled a roll that was doled out to a normal villager in RE4, thus, "Allyson" has absolutely no significance whatsoever! haha

[Archelon]

The cynic in me thinks they just added Allyson because they thought it might help quell the cries of racism if they showed a white woman being infected instead of a black woman. You know, to "balance things out," so to speak.

Heck, early previews of the game mentioned that it was a black Majini who infected her, and that was obviously changed.

The name's Wong, Ada Wong.

It has a nice ring to it.

Because it sounds exactly like Bond,James Bond

[Gideon Quinn]

As far as i'm concerned she was used to introduce the Cephalo variety of Majini.

[Sina]

It seems so damn random that I wouldn't be suprised if she was supposed to be Sherry from the start, but that they didn't have time to add that storyline so they just changed her into throwaway Alyson. Hell, I'm sure Ashley was also Sherry before Mikami decided to make her the president's daughter.

As much as it pains me to admit it, Bond is sometimes guilty of making the same mistake. Sure, he uses aliases to great effect but there's times when even the man himself openly states his real name, hence the phrase, "The name is Bond. James Bond". But that's like a name to be feared, when you hear that name then you know you're in deep trouble.
