Alex wesker

Alex can be male and female, in that respect it's quite clever and leaves it open for the future.

well your right about that it is pretty clever if it turned out to be a female a wesker lady with blond hair and sun glasses xD

Personally, I'm still hoping Alex is female. After having a male villain for so long, it'd be a nice change.

i thought alex was a male name ^^

It was a gimmick when Albert was dead in RE1 and then brought back in CODE: Veronica.

He was never mentioned in previous games, but yet he was apparently there since RE1 (wtf).

Can apply to Wesker's reintroduction in CODE: Veronica.

My understanding is that in the RE5 library Alex Wesker was the lead researcher responsible for the Wesker Children project.
The Wesker Children only had a suitable background - and were no way related to directly influenced by Alex Wesker.

Which makes it mighty strange to me that Alex Wesker would have the whole megalomaniacal penchant for taking over the world (if he's the future series villain), when Albert did of his own volition.
The only link I can think of is that they both worked for Umbrella...
Now that I think about it... most of the series villains have worked for Umbrella and have been absolute mentalists - so maybe I shouldn't be suprised.

Personally I think the whole idea is a cop out, and the term 'flogging a dead horse' doesn't do this one justice.

Through using Alex they are bringing in a Albert like character never mentioned in previous games before RE 5 yet apparently his story started back in RE 1.

It's hardly the first time Capcom have done this.

To be fair though, your post seems to go round in circles. "It's a gimmick because Albert is dead which makes it a gimmick because Albert is dead so Albert being dead makes it a gimmick" is pretty much the gist of what you're saying.

whats wrong with alex ? its pretty sweet if you ask me we just had albert all hope is over for the great wesker ! and then we get alex wesker its just freaking AWESOME !!
i cant wait to see how alex wesker is hopefully he will be in re 6

[Vogue_Dirge]

Hmmm. I was really hoping Christine Henri would be the next villain.

Also, Alex is a terrible first name for a villain. Like, seriously?!

Was Capcom reading bad RE fanfiction to think of names?!
xD

Wouldn't that make Alex Albert's big brother...? I mean, he came first...

ooh i see how your looking at it XD i was just looking at it this way number 13 oldest number 12 younger xD but anywho ^^ little brother or big brother im just glad the whole wesker deal isent out of the picture that we have a new wesker in town i cant wait to see how this alex wesker will be in the future resident evil games

[rehunk88]

Well he's not really his little brother. He was in charge of the Wesker project so all he is is his namesake really. Not even a blood relative.

Okay, let me explain myself. In my opinion Alex is a gimmick, because Albert Wesker is dead. Through using Alex they are bringing in a Albert like character never mentioned in previous games before RE 5 yet apparently his story started back in RE 1. It is completely out of the blue and the reason for bringing him in it seems is because the real Wesker is dead. They would want that due to the fact that people love Albert. In my opinion it's really the only plausible way we didn't think of in the Wesker isn't dead thread of bringing him back, without it being too obvious of a gimmick.

You're sort of missing Wesker's death in general and the Wesker Project being out of the blue. Besides, if they're going to explain Wesker being a part of some big project, they can't just leave out the other Weskers. This was a necessary part for the road they're going down. For all we know, Alex Wesker is absolutely nothing like Albert.
