EGM Article Summary

hmm....i wont make any conclusions on if its jill or not :]
but i dont understand why people find it hard to believe chris' muscles xD i mean there are people in real life that are bigger than him

[Stu]

I don't think it's the muscles themselves that they don't believe, it's where they've come from that people seem to have the issue with. Apparently it's not possible to work out and grow muscles without steroids being mentioned!

[LeonsBuddyDave]

I think the real reason people are irritated about Chris's bodily expansion is that by doing so, he is conforming to video game stereotypes. For Males:

-Enormous Muscles
-Skin Tight Shirt
-Pants with a SHITLOAD of pockets
-A Big Ass-Knife, because they're too cool for guns
-Cleft Chin
-Hair that will NEVER get ruffled. No matter what ridiculous acrobatics they may pull off.
-Stubble

New Chris fits all of these. Old Chris still fits a few of them, but not nearly as many.

One internet cookie for you if you can spot the XKCD reference in the quote box. ;)

Old Chris fits all but one of those, not to mention that loads of videogame characters (both male and female) fit them anyway...so with that said, "New Chris" was up against it to begin with?

Personally, when people have criticised Chris' new figure i don't believe for a second that people thought about the male videogame character stereotype, it was all done to the rapid growth since the last we saw of him.

Chris's muscles in the original Resident Evil for PS1 are just as big, if not bigger, as he looks in 5. But since some of the people who worked on the original RE are now working on 5 its not so surprising they went back to the buff Chris. But yeah, it is a stereotype of the American hero.

Don't worry the director of RE 5 said that the game will be a LITTLE shorter than RE 4

And by the fact that everything we need to know from the magazine is out there already.
