D.C. Douglas Talks About Albert Wesker

[Archelon]

What I would like to know is how many of the changes were made due to the addition of co-op, and how many were because the ideas simply weren't feasible with the current generation of hardware. I'm thinking of the warzone with the 10 or so El Gigantes, for example.

Though based on Anpo's blog regarding Desperate Escape, it seems a good portion of the campaign was already pretty much set in stone before co-op was added. At the very least, up until the boss fight with Irving on the boat, anyway.

I think Jill should have stayed dead, with Chris being the last surviving member of S.T.A.R.S, going on some suicide mission to take down Wesker to avenge his comrades. He knows his chances are slim and that the odds are stacked against him, but he goes through with it regardless.

Rebecca Chambers and Barry Burton are still alive. Have you forgotten about them? I know they haven't been used much, but I do know that I've read a lot of sources that confirm that Barry and Rebecca still being alive is officially canon.

[Mr. Spencer]

Sorry, should have clarified. I mean, if EVERYONE was killed off. Jill, Barry and Rebecca. Think about it, Chris being this sole survivor on a crazy suicide mission against Wesker, goes through hell but manages to make it through sheer determination and resolve.

And Chris dying heroically to defeat Wesker and saving the world. That would been epic. But we got Sheva. And Jill in a delicious battlesuit. Oh well.

[Mr. Spencer]

Chris should have gone out like Mikhail in RE3, though I thought there was a glimmer of hope during the final battle with Wesker in RE5 when Chris has leaped onto Wesker's back, and he asks Sheva to shoot through him to kill Wesker.

I was really hoping for that to happen, that he was willing to give his life.

[TheBatMan]

I'd have liked RE5 to end kinda how Lost did. Chris laying himself down to die after being mortally wounded by Wesker yet saving the world and smiling to himself as he see's Jill, Sheva and Josh flying away to safety. Then his eyes close.

Then we could have had a Resident Evil 6 where Sheva is older and jaded about having lost her partner in battle. She wonders if it's all worth fighting for. But she gets a lead that suggests that Chris may be fossilied in basalt and embarks on a reckless quest at the expense of her new disposable partner to go and find her old one she barely had an attachment with. After following this flimsy lead through all sorts of exotic locations, she indeed finds Chris, entombed within his arch-nemesis, The Boulder. The game climaxes with Sheva punching the boulder, which frees Chris, and Sheva concludes that it is all worth fighting for.

RE5 was so good because it was just like RE4, so RE6 should be just like RE5 amirite??

That is one ending I won't mind seeing in a Resident Evil game.

This thread I made almost 2 years ago springs to mind.

Some Metal Gear Solid 4 spoilers will definitely appear.

Hahahahaha. For some reason I found that hilarious.

[Dot50Cal]

Probably goes to leave the house, look for his keys and say "FOUND YOOOOU!" on his way out...

Laughed my ass off at this

Touche.

[CrimsonElder]

Apparently, the file is a translation screw up. The part dated after Raccoon City was written by someone else, at least in the Japanese text (and for these kinda things it's the Japanese text that matters). But I personally thin Nicholai is most likely alive.

In the Code Veronica guide book there is a letter from Nicholai stating several facts about what happened in Racoon City so yeah he is alive.

Heh...I was gonna mention the same thing

[TheDevilBringer]

Lot of people seem to be forgetting unresolved storylines like Sherry and Steve - both could be told in one game and Wesker's role could easily come in the form of flashbacks used to expand on what he did with them. I, personally, don't hate RE4 or 5 because the series was getting stale after so many games (seriously - giant Scorpions, bats, frogs, and zombie monkeys all appeared in the same game). That being said, love it or hate it, Co-Op freshened RE5 a bit but another overhaul has to happen with 6. And that's probably why TriCell is pasted all over in the last act. That still didn't get resolved yet, either.

[Dracarys]

Steve is dead, Sherry is government care. No stories there.

[Mr. Spencer]

Sherry has faded into obscurity, I don't think anyone even knows who Sherry is at this point.

[Canas Renvall]

Who are you talking about? Isn't she the mansion girl? (Kramer channels through me. )

[TheDevilBringer]

Steve is dead, Sherry is government care. No stories there.

Wesker took Steve - his fate is unknown. Wesker's Report insisted Wesker got Sherry and that'd have to have been after the "government care". Neither story is super important (although lots of fans still speculated the random blonde woman in RE5 was Sherry) but they are loose threads and both would benefit with sequences featuring Wesker which is why I wouldn't make such a drama about Wesker re-appearing before it happens. That wasn't directed at any one person but not many people seem to be considering that Wesker could easily appear in a scene or two without Capcom bringin him back to life so it's too early to complain about it.

I have to agree about the Co-op refreshing RE. I would have much rather seen the original RE5 they had planned. When Chris was solo, there was tyrants involved and I think the story was much better. However the Co-op has brought a ton of new fans to the series. My friends have played Re2 or 3 but apart from that they dont care much for the series. After playing the game with at least 5 of them, all their final thoughts were this is an awesome Co-op game. I dont think they would have played the game had it been single player at least not all of them. If RE6 isnt Co-op I think alot of new fans will be very disapointed. If RE6 is Co-op I think alot of the hardcore fans will be disapointed. Whatever way you look at it, people are going to be pissed. I feel for Capcom on this one because they cant really win either way.
