Resident Evil Damnation Debut Video

[Vector]

I dunno why but this JUST struck me.

Degeneration came out a few months before RE5 and had some plot elements tie into the game's storyline, right? What are the odds that Damnation does the same thing for RE6? If Damnation is due in 2012, then maybe this gives us a clue as to when they're looking at releasing RE6.

Call me crazy, but I'm going to go with this guy:

Spoiler:

Ark Thompson Fool!

Yea, yea...he was in the game we do not speak of. Few liked it.

However, he was a good friend of Leon's - and crazier things have happened.
I was always hoping he would get another shot, but it could very well be Billy or Carlos.

That would rock as would Bruce McGivern. It does look like Chris or Billy though.

Ada better be in this or so help me god....

Took the words right out of my mouth.

If this movie turns out to be another 90 minute Leonfest with absolutely no Ada, I am going to be devastated and, quite frankly, very pissed off. The last thing we need is Capcom dragging Leon along in another movie that offers nothing to the wider picture of the series' storyline.

So, crossing my fingers for Ada. I don't think that's too much to ask, Capcom.

[Shadow Stalker]

I wouldn't mind if Ada Wong was in it. But personally I surely hope that Capcom stick to their word on the The Making Of Degeneration feature, and put Rebecca Chambers in this film.

What was the previous one?
I hope you say the Paul Anderson movies.

Because Degeneration, and now, Damnation, are movies made directly to the game fans. And Degeneration adds more info about the bioterrorism menace in the word in his first five minutes or so, then RE5 did itself, IMO.

I'm really tired to see rants about a character appearing and other don't, everywhere.
Leon is a protagonist, Ada isn't (til now). Just like that.

Degeneration was kinda pointless actually and just pure fanservice. I mean I liked it and all but its true. Besides kinda setting up Tricell It didnt do anything else

[Kei_M]

Degeneration also let us know what Claire has been up to since the events of Code Veronica, which wasn't a bad thing...(Granted, after watching it a few times, it becomes more of a chore each time.) I think these movies should keep that up. I would love to see Ada and Leon together and it's definitely my number one hope...but, I wouldn't mind if another returning character got a chance to show what they've been up to since their last game.

If that shadowed man turned out to be Carlos, I'd be satisfied. If it turned out to be Ark, my mind would be blown (Capcom would get a bow). But, I just hope this doesn't turn into a total sausage fest...

I agree, I found it rather pointless with the Indian woman and her child part.

And mygod Leon is the man, but his hair looked horrible, I've seen Ken barbie dolls that look better

...Huh?

I have absolutely no idea what you're saying here.

But, um, I wasn't making any reference to the live-action films, at all. I was just saying Degeneration felt like a waste of time, to me, and I'd be rather irritated if Damnation does the same thing.

[Maki-Neko]

I think degeneration was like a test, it was the first movie capcom people made (from what I know). They even said something like that so I guess Damnation will be better. At least I hope to see an improvement from degeneration

I mean that for me, the only movie(s) that offers nothing to the wider picture of the series' storyline, and that are a total waste of time, is the ones made by Paul Anderson.

I would mention some interesting points of Degeneration, if wasn't very clear that doing so would be pointless.

I'll be happy if Damnation end up being in the same level of Degeneration or better; if worse, then I'll be irritated.


Maki-Neko, there is Biohazard 4D Executer.

Any distaste I have for how Degeneration was handled is strictly my own. You're free to feel otherwise.

I largely consider Degeneration a waste of time based on how it was so heavily focused on Angela, a character who was stale, boring and really unneeded. Sadly, I have this horrible hunch she may return in Damnation for whatever reason, which would annoy me a lot.

I want these CGI movies to take the plot somewhere, not just portray storylines for throwaway characters while providing minimal information about the plot like an after-thought. Anything Degeneration revealed (such as Tricell buying out WilPharma, information about what Claire's been up to, the status of the viruses on the blackmarket) could've easily been revealed via an in-game file, which, to me, really goes to show how the movie lacked importance. I'd like to see the actual plot progress (i.e., move forward with the Organization/Ada storyline).

I can appreciate what Capcom intended to do, and there are aspects I enjoyed about Degeneration, such as the return of Claire (and her VA, Alyson Court). Degeneration was a decent first attempt. I just sincerely hope Damnation can give us something worthwhile, because I wasn't blown away by its predecessor.

(Also, whatever Anderson is doing with his live-action films is really quite irrelevant, to me, since I haven't seen either Extinction or Afterlife.)

Leon despearetly needs a new look. That hair, face and jacket from Degeneration are all terrible

[Pikminister]

IMO what these films really need is a co-director/producer from the West. This because the Japanese have a particular taste and a way of working a film script that in most cases bring results that are considered way too corny and/or awkward for the audiences in this part of the World.

Take Leon in the first film. He was basically playing the typical Japanese stoic loner/hero. No emotions at all. And Claire was given the role of a mother of sorts. Incredibly passive.

I'm just saying that these guys in charge of the next film really need some creative input from ppl from the West. A good thing to consider. Since these flicks are catering westerners and not just Japanese.

[Stars_g36]

It would be awesome if it was Ark!

Looking at western take on Resident Evil movies... I'd rather prefer them to not take input from the West Degeneration is basically a CGI anime, and I like that. It is corny and awkward, but you can say the same about RE games; at least we have a consistency here ;)

Yeah, but Paul Anderson wouldn't be my pick for the job. And neither Uwe Boll. That's not the ppl you would go to if you wanted to 'humanize' Damnation's characters. There are other much talented directors out there. They should simply consider showing an early version of the film to some westerners before coming out with it.

Besides, look at what they did with RE5. The cutscenes were originally more corny and cheesy than the ones that ended up on the game. But Capcom decided to hire a director from the west to adapt them to the audiences said game was targeting... that is, mostly gamers from North America and Europe (and Australia).

It would be awesome if it was Ark!

I'd love it if it was Mr. Amnesia too since that'd give him a reason to turn a gun on his buddy.

But... I spotted this when I was watching the trailer again when I realized what seemed familiar to me, took a screenshot and and had this face -

I checked it against what I've popped in there for a comparison and it seems to match up - that's the only reason I'm actually posting it.

Spoiler:

show spoiler

I haven't done anything to it aside from making a copy, enlarging it for comparison.

I'm hoping that my eyes are wrong on this because I would really love for it to be revealed as Ark, but showing it to a couple of people - they can see what I'm meaning too.

Though, with the time line that makes NO SENSE to be there... :/

[Davi Redfield]

It's very unlikely to be a S.T.A.R.S. symbol.
Could be any other, like B.S.A.A., S.R.T., or a new one, though.

I know it's unlikely, I checked the B.S.A.A. ones against it and it didn't match which is why I thought it was weird.
