RE Revelations New Video

[Jimmy Barnes]

Copying RE5 eh? Really?

Well, I guess Capcom thought we wouldn't notice!

[Mr. Rod]

Ship bridges are all very similar, what did you exactly expect?

Why not? almost no one noticed RE5 was a copy of RE4.

[Shadow Stalker]

Didn't show anything of interest to me. Although the unannounced character does remind me of Steve Burnside. (I doubt that it is him, since he did die in Code Veronica after all.)

...This is Resident Evil we're talking about. Characters being brought back from death/presumed death isn't a new plot device. The running list I can name off the top of my head:

*Marcus during 0. Wesker and Birkin though they killed him ten years ago; or is it a bunch of leeches that think they're Marcus, thus making this a non-example? (I've heard both to explain the story and I'm not sure which is correct.)

*Ada in 2. She "dies" due to Mr. X or falls so far that the game makes you think she'd be dead, then she shows up during the final boss fight with Mr. X in either scenario.

*Wesker coming back in Code: Veronica after being gored by the Tyrant in 1.

*Krauser in 4 to Leon with the dying in a helicopter crash two years prior thing, then to Ada during Separate Ways.

*Jill in 5. Fell off a cliff and the BSAA never recovered the body, so she was considered dead.

[GuardhouseMusic]

*Krauser in 4 to Leon with the dying in a helicopter crash two years prior thing, then to Ada during Separate Ways.

That technically doesn't count since there was no precedent for Krauser's entire appearance in 4. Damn weird, the way they introduced him as if he was supposed to be of some importance to the player.

[RetroRain]

RetroRain: Wrong. Enemies can follow you, but not through the door, but through venr shafts.

Re-read my post.

I know enemies can follow you. I said I don't like how they can't follow you through the doors. It's stupid that they can't follow you through the doors, even though we see one bash through a door after Jill awakens in that room. Hard to believe that those enemies can be that aggressive, and yet not be able to follow you through the door.

Then again, Nemesis cannot enter save rooms, despite the Nemesis being one of the most powerful BOWs.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Yeah but Nemesis would chase you quite a bit, all the way through the police station for example and on my last playthrough the bugger chased me all the way from the resturaunt where you meet Carlos to the top floor of the press building! so you gotta have somewhere safe from him.
I wonder if this game will have save rooms? I kind of miss them.

[Prime Blue]

Although the unannounced character does remind me of Steve Burnside.

What with the hair and the male genitalia...

But he should have said: "Remember me?"

[News Bot]

To characters he never knew. But people would still lap that shit up like dogs hahaha.

P.S. Krauser never died in a helicopter crash. That's made up (it's just an "accident" which could be him accidentally microwaving a metal spoon for all we know). That isn't Marcus in BH0 either; it's the Queen Leech.

And? They still "died" yet "appeared" in later Resident Evil games - that's the point Four Eyes is making, that apparent death doesn't mean you won't see a character again.

*Wesker coming back in Code

*Krauser in 4

*Jill in 5.

But they all died and came back in the same game, except for Wesker, while Steve has been dead for years now, he was infected by the T-Veronica virus, got rammed by a giant tentacle and Wesker got his body. Even if he was alive after all that, how would he still be human looking or hwo did escaped Wesker?

Also, I doubt they'd put Steve in a game but not Claire.

True, that would be weird. *shrugs*

It's a random crack theory. With Capcom most, if not all, random crack theories leading up to the release of a game are what is called "Jossed" on TvTropes. They're disproved during the course of the game.

Don't invest too much into a theory, then declare the game sucks because a random theory is incorrect. (Which seems to happen with some people on other forums when talking about RE5 having "tube girl" be Jill instead of Sherry.)

If that had been Sherry it would have made the games story more interesting.

[Four Eyes]

True.

Any of the newer games having characters who haven't shown up recently and could have plot potential could add to the plot and cause interesting twists and turns. Nicholai, Carlos, Sherry, Ada, HUNK (here's to hoping he's in Revelations), etc. could all be used to add to the plot.

Conversely, it can be argued that constantly recurring characters didn't add much to the plot. The Uroboros plot of 5 didn't need Wesker as a catalyst. (It's out of left field, without any reasonable foreshadowing, IMO.) The plot of 4 didn't need Leon specifically, since it wasn't like the government was expecting Las Plagas.

So, back to Revelations... I'm loving the music so far.

[Wrathborne]

Actually what would have made RE5 all the more interesting would be if Wesker had Sherry, Jill, and Ada under his mind control parasite thingy.

Sherry should have been Wesker's God daughter anyways since he and Birkin were co-horts...course this does mean Annette would have had to have been a more evil character in RE2.

[Mr. Spencer]

I'm telling you, Nicholai living on a private island like Scaramanga from The Man with the Golden Gun, pulling off multi-million dollar assassinations and living a life of luxury from all the megabucks he earned from Raccoon City. I reckon he's out there at large.

He could be working for some dictator who wants to raise an army of ganado or something using Las Plagas, with Nicholai acting like Bennett from Commando and goading Carlos into a knife fight, except he's also got Jill hostage or some crap like that.

Yay! Another random crack theory! So far, we've got: the redhead is Steve and Nicholai is behind it all, a la The Man With the Golden Gun. Either way would somewhat tie it in to the other games (other than Chris, Jill, and the BSAA)... So Capcom probably won't do that.

[Mr. Spencer]

My theory actually makes the most sense out of all these retarded Steve Burnside speculations.
