The Official RE Trivia Thread...

[TheOvermind001]

I really want to test that Rhino beetle theory. Sounds interesting.

Here come some more.

In Dead Rising, there's a restaurant called Jill's Sandwiches. There's also a Chris' Fine Foods.

Now this one has a lot of debate. Two people claim it has happened to them, but one person who tried it hasn't been able to recreate the effect. I hope more people will try this out to see what happens!

In REmake, if you stand on Lisa Trevor's cabin porch and stay there for a while, she'll eventually come from behind the house and come after you.

Now, there are a few things people think could factor in. Maybe it's a "first time" thing (aka, the very first time you play, so to recreate this, people play without a memory card), and nobody's sure if they mean before you officially meet her or after. Apparently it takes some time, too, according to the two who said it occurred to them. Ten minutes plus. Like I said, I hope someone can confirm or deny this! Video/pictures would be awesome too.

Anyway, more "Did You Know?"s.

Did you know that the development team for RE1 was bigger than RE2's? 60 worked on RE1, and 50 on RE2.

Did you know that in RE1/Director's Cut, the cinematic which introduces the Hunter (the classic first person one) was made with the level from the beta version of the game? The level design in the cinematic was from the beta version, and different than in the final version.

Sorry, but I just found this in RE: DS yesterday and I had to share it. Again, sorry for the double-post.

Did you know that (I assume in the original and Director's Cut as well), in RE: DS, the famous letter containing "4// Itchy Tasty", the word "Arklay" is misspelled. They spelled it "Arkley". It was fixed in REmake. I just thought that was pretty cool to share.

Also, did you know that there's a grammatical error in REmake? When you go to use an item that can't be used right there (like a key or emblem, etc.), it says "It's not necessary use this now." It should say "It's not necessary to use this now." For something that pops up somewhat often, you would think they'd notice that.

Nice finds man. I heard that in the remake, if you go into the cemetary behind the mansion and stand over in the patch of grass over by the woods (where there's usually a zombie), supposedly a zombie will tear through the ground or some crap. I've tried it but it never works, although I hear about it all the time...who knows lol.

[nemesiswontdie]

in RE3 in front of the diner theres a poster that says biohazard 4 and shows the RE2 zombie that was on the cover

Yea man, it's a movie theater. I used to hear so many rumors that you could somehow get inside, and fight zombies while the original "night of the living dead" played on the movie screen lol.

[nemesiswontdie]

lol thats a hell of a rumor

[TheSelfishGene]

In REmake, there are two certain camera angles where if you wait long enough, a rhinoceros beetle will crawl across the screen. I think one of them is right around where you insert the crank to drain the water in the garden area before the guardhouse.

I really want to test that Rhino beetle theory. Sounds interesting.

I'm certain one is near the pond you drain to enter the labs. I'll have to check the exact angle sometime.

There's also a beetle in RE4. I know there's one on a tree on the way down to the torture shed where you fight Mendez. It's a bit before the merchant, on the right IIRC.

[TheBatMan]

The character of Wesker is modelled on Robert Patrick's performance as the T-1000 in T2.

[Weskers Flag]

"The character of Wesker is modelled on Robert Patrick's performance as the T-1000 in T2."

Was he really?

[Henry Spencer]

Definitely.

People are mistaking "trivia" for "urban legends" haha! I can't imagine any of those "stand in a place and this happens" events being true in the slightest.

On the subject of grammatical errors, me and Yama had spotted a few in RE5 too.

[Project Omega]

Sheva is the first black female protagonist in the series.

Every single helicopter pilot character in the series has died.

Oh yea, My person fav is the "mugnum" from RE2 Ok, back on topic...um, I can't think of a good trivia question so I'll just through one out. What two ubcs soldiers were originally intended to be brothers? I know it's not too hard, but hopefully it will add another log to the trivia fire

[A-J]

he said protagonist :p

[nemesiswontdie]

on the previous page it says something about in RE2 theres a boarded up window that says
"Redrum" on it. i was playing RE2 last night and couldnt find it, can someone post a pic of it please?

[REmaster]

I'm still searching for it but no luck so far. I thought for sure I'd seen it though...

[nemesiswontdie]

dammit i wanna see this but i cant f'in find it!

[GuardhouseMusic]

Supposedly it's the hallway outside the interrogation room. I still haven't found it either.

This is just a small detail but it's easily overlooked. Three green herbs in the original RE/REC looks like two green herbs only grey.

[Beanovsky Durst]

There you go... It's on the left side on the screen, I slightly adjusted brightness, is easy to spot.
