General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

Yeah alexia killing alfred also used to bother me but ı got over it. While she cared for him, at the same time; she still described alfred as foolish and wanted to use him for her own needs so killing alfred due to a small annoyance isnt that surprising. I agree about rodrigo but ı didnt mind wesker behaving more in shadows rather than being active more in field. It's an on rail shooter; it doesnt need to have all parts from og games. I think with darkside chronicles, they did well for what they are, especially when compared to umbrella chronicles which is barebones other than remake retelling as well as extra episodes excluding umbrella's end section. Retelling sections especially feel improved imo.
Yeah honestly RE1 and RE2 retellings fix the discrepancies with the original stories, not a fan with some story changes but they seem more canon than the OG/REimaginings.
 
The police station is iconic. 😎

I agree though that it was quite similar to the first game. However, I think in later storylines, they put in too many mansions. Ones like the original. As if to declare, "Nostalgia... BABY!" 👶

LOL...

I have to question why they did that so often!

Not so long ago, a file called MEMO FOR THE METEMPSYCHOSIS CEREMONY caught my attention:


The text makes it clear that the technology of the "ceremony", for which a strong "vessel" is needed, was originally developed by Spencer. Alex was the one who continued the development.

Here's another interesting Tweet on this topic:


It seems to me that the probability that this Spencer's project was inspired by Miranda's work is very high.

In addition, in one of the sketches Karl Heisenberg had reptilian eyes:


Of course, this does not necessarily mean that he had to be infected with a virus. The parasite probably just had reptilian genetic information. But it's still hard not to notice how there is something of Albert Wesker in this character.

I guess it's possible to draw some kind of parallel between Miranda and Spencer in Village. They are similar not only in that they had their own "umbrellas", but also in that they had similar experiments.

Dr. Moreau was Miranda's "firstborn." He may in general resemble Lisa Trevor, who was Spencer's first victim.

And Heisenberg is basically Miranda's "Wesker." Karl and Albert are made similar not only by the fact that they both wear sunglasses and are traitors in their "families", but also by the fact that they both have Social Darwinist views on life.
 
Aye. We all miss Jill so much. And to think we may receive three games about Ethan and his family. Three entire games! Meanwhile, where is Jill these days!? Talk about a disservice to your most loyal fans, Capcom. And I know people will say, "But she was in the RE3 remake".

OK. It's called a remake for a reason. It's not an original storyline. Outside of that bland Wii shooter and Revelations, Jill has been absent since she left Africa.

You know? Jill must be getting old, like Chris is old now. Unless her Nemesis virus slows down her age. Any excuse to keep the characters looking young, eh? Well, at least have them featured in more games, or failing that, bring her back in a new animated movie or series, so fans that want her presence aren't left in the dark, Edward Carnby style. ;)

But yeah. Any game with Jill has got to have a much better story overall than RE8 has. Like, if you watch this guy's rant, he clearly wasn't keen on RE8's plot whatsoever. 😂

Count how many times he mumbles, "Oh my God!"

The game was like a love letter to RE4 mostly, in my opinion. You go back to survival horror and then do another U-turn and claim the fans found RE7 made them wet the bed, or something... 🤔

 
I agree with your points, and feel that RE6 is just a game that fans unfairly piss on. It actually has better controls than 4 and 5. Better graphics too. The story about a virus turning citizens into zombies for one scenario, meant it was more RE than 4 and 5, which truth be told, don't feel like RE games in some awkward manner, because the Las Plagas and so on, don't have many direct ties to the other games, even if Capcom does occasionally shoehorn in certain lore to cheaply connect it. Because I honestly laughed when they had that link in RE8 with Miranda apparently being the former mentor of Spencer, when that game is so hilariously withdrawn from RE, and nothing like the classics from yesteryear. Meh!

But yeah. RE6 goes unappreciated by many. It's not one of my top games or anything, but I've learned to like it more these days, since RE7 and 8 are just not as interesting as the really early games. But I suppose they ain't bad. :(
