Wesker's Report - Canonicity Debate (or the Official "WTF Hiroki Kato!?" Thread)

[Darkmoon]

Well, it's stuff I find fascinating, but I've always liked the Resident Evil plot. But as you desire...

http://www.the-horror.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8372 - Previously unknown plot elements for 1.5, and other plot details like Brad was the only S.T.A.R.S member to agree with Irons and not get suspended.

http://www.the-horror.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7498 - Details about the creation of Nemesis.

http://www.the-horror.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8142 - And of course...a Chronology so complete that Snow from Capcom mentions it in his blog.

Those are just three things I, personally, found particularly interesting. And only stuff from 2011. Your mileage obviously varies.

Oh wait. That was a funny look. My apologies. Do what you like.

But do tell.... What are these so called fascinating things discovered? I was under the impression the games cover a pretty simplistic background of events. Evil corporation houses evil people to make viruses that create evil things. An eight year-old could write this stuff.

None of the characters are that developed that go beyond their usual cliche'd outlook on things.

The simple truth of it is that Wesker's Report at the end of the day was a pre-order bonus. Had some fun tidbits for the fans (which are the product's primary target) but it's no more than a mere passage of recapped events followed by stuff they should have covered in Code Veronica (like Wesker's rebirth...his reappearance is awkward if you played it on Dreamcast like I did).

Poor soul. But I do wish to cover the grounds of a "canonicity debate" by delving into the matters of.... why it matters. And for that News Bot holds my answers firm.

We are after all striving for more knowledge on how a man that wears sunglasses at night could muck up something so trivial as to how a masked grunt managed to get hold of a virus.

So are you saying you haven't spent a fare share amount of man hours of your own time managing and piecing together the outline for a.....a videogame canon.

I was under the impression you had.

It's something the dude enjoys. And some of the nuggets he digs up are fascinating. I mean, a lot of people look at me - squinting my eyes to paint tiny metal men to fight pretend battles, creating pretend characters so I can pretend to be a Dwarf (I fantasize about not banging my head on stuff all the time) or writing stories no one will read. I enjoy it, but other people give me funny looks.

At least News Bot's weird hobbies are somewhat useful in finding out what the hell is actually going on and answering some of the questions botched up translations have raised for us Gaijin scum.

John, don't make me pretend to be Irish so I can pretend to be British and write the Modest Proposal 2.0. I'll do it. I'll do it.

Haters gonna hate.

[Mr. Spencer]

And nothing of value was lost.

One of these days we should ban News Bot, on account of being poor and Irish.

You're a poster child for what I was saying earlier about over-estimating how much anyone cares about this stuff. Bahaha.

[Darkmoon]

Well, can't say I didn't try...although I'm sure a few people will.

Such is life.

Back on topic, please.

[Fruit Salad]

OH GOD I CALLED A MOD A DORK BAN BAN BAN

you guys need to grow up

[Darkmoon]

O...K. I would point out that simply not being a tool is all you currently need to do to not be banned. Although I will be giving you another ten points for insulting a mod. Ten points after that are you're gone. Your choice.

[Fruit Salad]

also your colleague is a dork

[Fruit Salad]

just cut the bullshit and ban me already. i'll be back under a new ip anyway.

[Darkmoon]

People spamming discussions because of there own personal vendettas? Quite agree. And yes, I'm taking a moment to consult with a colleague on what to do with you. Of course, he's telling me to ban you and be done with it. How come I end being the merciful one?

Now, if we can please go on topic and not randomly yell at other members...

[Fruit Salad]

btw this is why nobody uses public internet forums anymore lol

[Fruit Salad]

just look at all the people who care.jpg

[Darkmoon]

Apparently I'm not joking when I warn people. Who knew?
