I make no secret of my admiration for the best villain in gaming, I love me some Wesker. When he returned in CV it made the franchise feel like it was building on an epic almost comic book like story with super villains that come back from the dead and heroes who are tied to them. I found this way more compelling than a faceless organization and the evil scientist of the week formula. A great heroes need great villains and Wesker fit that role perfectly.
I was big into the RE mythos for a long while. I was like some of you who researched every morsel of story from any medium. But after RE5 that kind of ended for me, RE5 felt like the culmination of the story that was building from RE1. The death of Wesker left a void that to me has not been filled. I remember many plot points of RE6 but I can’t tell you in detail who was doing what for whom. Revelations 2 brought in the loose end of the Wesker blood line and it was a great game but still felt like some off shoot. The CG movies have stories that mean nothing to me. I can’t seem to bother to care about where this story is going mainly cause we lost our main antagonist.
I say bring him back. “But he’s dead!” This is a series with monsters, clones and all sorts of insane shit, who cares how you bring him back just do it. This happens all the time in comics, people die, they return and the story continues. I would also bring him back with a vengeance, have him kill a major character, have him torture our heroes in new ways. The best villain stories push the heroes to the brink of breaking. So if they really want the RE mythology to keep on running with no end in sight bring back the legend, Chris needs someone to punch that’s his equal.
