Special cutscenes & events in RE5?

[Dot50Cal]

I'm just curious if anyone knows of any special cutscenes which only play under certain conditions. I'm going through the game now and want to get every scene recorded, so if you know of some, let me know!

Some I can think of:

• If you go to the right path, near the broken bus in the very beginning of the game, you see a man being dragged back. A cutscene will trigger as this happens
• A cutscene will play with Reynard if you approach him without your partner in the room.
• The wetland majini pop out at two locations when you first encounter them on the watercraft level. If you go to cross a narrow bridge, they will pop out of the water. If you go around a back way into the "main" area, they will appear from the houses.
• The QTE cutscene where you run from the statues has a two different starting camera angles for when you begin running. This seems to be random
• When Kirks helicopter is seen going down, the player furthest from the trigger point sees a scenes from in the sky, near the flailing chopper.
• If you approach the first chainsaw majini with only one character, you only see them in the scene, making this a total of 3 combinations.
• If you don't kill the second Popacrim, a scene will play where it comes after you up the stairs (along with a QTE one shortly after).
• If you fail to kill the last truck on the Savannah level, it will push you into the ravine.
• If you kill the sun-laser-harnessing guy's in the caves, a scene will play that shows the machine deactivating.
• This is a common one, but you can miss it. Don't snipe the majini at the crane controls on the tanker and he will drop a cage on your partner.
• The final Uroboros will smash itself onto the platforms you stand on if certain conditions are met (don't shoot it when your partner spots something is going on). Basically it rises into the air and glows very brightly (all 4 bulbs). If you don't shoot it, the scene will play.
• Wesker will throw missiles at you if you don't attack him in the tanker hold. There seems to be two different angles this plays out from. One if you are up on the higher platforms, and another if you are close by?
• Dying during the Executioner stage will result in a special scene where you are brutally beaten in first person
• In the underground cavern, depending on who crosses the bridge that is destroyed by the majini with the spire, a different scene plays (character swap)

I'm not certain, since its been a while, but do you get a special scene if you defeat Wesker in the 7 minute fight? AFAIK, its the same.

edit: nevermind, you already included that one with the marshlands.

Dot no you dont get diffrent cut scene when you beat wesker in the 7 minute time limit

it's the same ending....

also, another common one, die in the first big fight, you'll get a first person cutscene of the majini beating the crap out of you.

Oh man, I'll never forget the first time I saw that. It was on my first playthrough, I was playing with Rosetta. We were fighting off the Majini and waiting for Kirk to do his thing. I went into 'dying' on top of the bus, and Rosetta shot the barrel next to me and blew me the fuck up.

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, the cutscene triggered. It was pretty staggering...because of how violent it was, but also because we'd played Public Assembly probably a hundred or so times before that and never saw the scene.

[TheSelfishGene]

Failure @ each QTE will give an alternate cutscene too.

[Dot50Cal]

Ah, nice AJ Added that to the OP!

[A-J]

If you kill the sun-laser-harnessing guy's in the caves, a scene will play that shows the machine deactivating.

I remember a bunch of us yelling this one on your solo Justin TV run, dot , but you never did manage to kill the guy then :p

[Dot50Cal]

Ahah, Yeah , I couldn't find the right spot to do it in . I also just recalled another one. If you cross the bridge where the majini drop the spire, the scene changes between Chris and Sheva, depending on who crosses.

[A-J]

Here's another one, not exactly a cutscene, but if you keep standing around the first area at the start of the game (before the sirens ring and everyone disappears), Chris and Sheva have a little discussion about America, Sheva asks Chris if he would rather prefer going back to America, and Chris goes on a long rant about how it's not that different, Sheva ends with "You're not like any American i've ever met"

Indeed: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=1zgbad5&s=5

I wonder if there are any more like these?

[GuardhouseMusic]

Now that's the smartest dialogue in the game IMO. Wow, I've never heard this, and that's a good point Lev. This almost seems like their codec type stuff.

[Dot50Cal]

Upon further inspection, the one trap scene has a total of 7 different angles for all three of the scenes. Heres a "little" image that shows that. I'll have to keep looking to see if the first and last have 3 as well, but so far I haven't seen them.

[Gideon Quinn]

I'm sure you know of these already, but sometimes the cutscene can show either Chris or Sheva depending on who failed to input the button press at the correct time. The first QTE with Wesker on the Sky High Skirmish before the finale is a good example.

Oh, also, during the fight with Wesker in the hangar, sometimes a QTE will initiate in which you have to press the two shoulder buttons to avoid getting a hand in your chest. I'm not sure what causes it to trigger, though... Here's the scene.

Ugh, the new youtube encoder strikes again. That video doubled its framerate retroactively.

Oh man, the first time I heard that, I was literally speechless. It was so heavy handed and out of place, I couldn't believe it.

[A-J]

well aware of that one unfortunately

also, about the wesker fight in the hanger, i'm sure most of the people have gotten this, but it is possible to knock off wesker's glasses by finishing a QTE "fight" that can randomly trigger or just by beating him to a pulp a lot.

[Lev]

Now that's the smartest dialogue in the game IMO.

Agree. Gives Chris more character, IMO.

@Dot50Cal: Wow, didn't even notice that during my numerous playthroughs. Nice find and good picture you've made there.

[Dot50Cal]

AJ, I can't seem to knock his glasses off when the QTE prompts appear in the last fight. Is it just when a certain damage threshold is met? They popped off when I was just shooting him a bunch.

Gideon, for that to occur you just need to be around him a bit. He does it randomly. Got some hilarious footage last night of him being such a cheap bastard (combo'ed me with like SEVEN gunshot sets, each time putting me into dying before being resuscitated by Sheva).

it's happened at random occasion's for me, maybe there's some kind of damage threshold, and if you trigger the QTE after that, it has a higher chance of the glasses being knocked off.
