There only are four or five Crimson Heads in Beginnings.



I merely used that as an example, I wasn't stating it as fact. You on the other hand think your personal belief is fact based on... well, nothing. Aside from gameplay mechanics of course, and we all know how relevant to the storyline THOSE are. Since according to your logic Leon and Claire most likely got impaled by the G4's mouth-of-a-thousand-spikes. I'm sure the zombies also disintegrate once the characters leave the immediate area as well. And those magically respawning statues and pictures in Darkside and Umbrella Chronicles? ALIENS.

The series itself thinks you're wrong, I think it's safe to say you are just wrong.

Still playing are we.



What do you mean? You simply said give me one example of a zombie killed that is not a headhsot. There is it, clear as day. How is that based on nothing? The zombie is dead, it's twitching, it doesn't get back up again ever. It was not shot in the head What more do you want, how much more factual can that be?



The series thinks i'm wrong? I don't even know what that means. Heaven forbid you may be wrong though. Perish the thought.

Basically, what it means is that every single piece of canon material written or developed by Capcom contradicts anything and everything you have said thus far. Therefore, only logical to think that you are the one at fault.

So about that zombie disintegration...

This is getting ridiculous guys. The two people I couldn't even imagine arguing about something like this are going crazy lol In a way I agree with both of you. In the RE series it has been stated several time to KILL a zombie is to shoot it in the head (if you include the movies they mention several times breaking the spine works too) In most zombie lure breaking the spine and shooting them in the head will kill the zombie. In the RE world shooting them in the head PROBABLY is the only way to kill them. However, in the game it probably only takes only a couple of bullets to bring the zombie down. Not necassarily kill them but bring them down. It wouldn't be terribly hard to shoot a zombie 5-8 times and hit vital points to disable it.

All in all it doesn't really matter. Its a game. You kinda assume what happens when you kill an enemy. IDK. I think you both are right in certain areas.

I shed no light on this subject did I LOL

According to Archives(canon unless provent contrary), the Nicholai scene is the canon one


Why Yes?



It does is a gameplay thing...if they made you be able of shooting the head always, the zombies would die with only one shoot and the game would be a walk in the park

Ooh, get you. He asked for an example of a zombie dying in a scene that was not with a head shot, I gave him one. How is that 'twisting things, not following the facts and making feeble assumptions?'

If you want to get involevd go and watch said videos and if all zombies die via headshots, then i will take it.

If his 'facts' were so concrete then i would accept it no questions asked. I never stated otherwise that my belief that zombies can die via other means as well as headshots was anything other than that. It's my belief based on the zombie lore i've grown up on. I've not come on here and said this is how it is - end of story, i'm simply challenging his opinion is all.

OWNED.

anyway you can trust the gameplay, as we see in the re3 intro the shoots in the chest DO NOT HARM THE ZOMBIES, only the headshoots. In game they go down with chest shoots because if they have no choice: making every shoot a headshoot would mean that every zombie would go down with only one bullet, and if they made the chest shoots like in the CGI's (aka: what really happens when you shoot a zombie in the chest) we would be dead at the first zombie

Aren't they able to be killed by damage to the spinal cord as well? If so, then some of the body shots may destroy the spinal cord.
