Resident Evil Megathread: COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION! - Games

i think it's also one of the many evil dead 2 nods. wherin the protagonist of both literally get their hand cut off with a chainsaw. and then there's the 'groovy'.

[QUOTE=gk99;51813137]That's honestly my favorite line. I think the problem is that you're not directly in Ethan's shoes. It'd probably be a lot more terrifying to hear "NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE MOTHAFUCKA :)" when you've just narrowly survived this immortal beast out to kill you and he's getting out of a car on fire to come kill you some more.[/QUOTE] Oh no trust me realistically speaking I would have just said fuck that and left after the first floater in the basement crawl space.

I think that Ethan [sp]also worked for umbrella and is a powerful member. The way he says "what the fuck took you guys so long" at the end made it seem like he knew them. AFAIK, Umbrella would try to silence all witnesses, not help them out. Umbrella also seemed kind of heroic when they showed up, they didn't seem like bad guys. When they mentioned on the radio that they're engaging an unidentified third party, the 3rd party sounded like something or someone they feared and respected and I had the feeling it was Ethan[/sp]

The third party is the company Lucas was contacting, presumably the same people Mia worked for.[/sp]

The people being contacted is [Sp]Tentsu, who works with H.C.F., which is headed up (Well... was) by Wesker. They're uh... not good people.[/sp]

yeah the third party is [sp]tentsu, not ethan. but i do think ethan is with umbrella. let's remember that the chopper boys threw ethan the albert pistol. if he didn't work for them they wouldn't go to such extreme lengths to save him by giving him the pistol. 'redfield' would have just let it kill ethan and used the pistol on evie himself. or killed ethan after it was dead. the only one it makes sense to have 'saved' was mia as she works for the competition and she'd make a good hostage or source of information.[/sp] [editline]13th February 2017[/editline] ALTERNATIVELY [sp]umbrella is who bought evie and they are working with tentsu, and the third party is some other unknown.[/sp]

He's more useful alive than dead just like Mia. Plus his experience in fighting the molded could be beneficial for Umbrella to utilize. [/sp]

these are umbrella mercs we're talking about though. [sp]william burkin invented the g-virus but they still blew him away. they wouldn't spare ethan if he wasn't important.[/sp] [sp]spoilers ethan was on the phone to wesker at the start!!![/sp]

Imagine if he's so dick hungry for the former STARS members there ends up being an Umbrella Corps counterpart, like Dark-STARS or some dumb shit like that. Assuming he probably is still alive somehow[/sp]

Keep in mind that [sp]this isn't strictly Umbrella we're talking about, its Umbrella Corps, which for all intents and purposes are a bunch of mercs who scavenge umbrella tech for pay. Additionally, the Umbrella Corps logo is usually red, whilst the chopper that saves them is a blue variant, which could be anything from their Search and Rescue / R&D division to a literal anti-umbrella corp full of good guys, [/sp]

How is Umbrella still a thing? [sp]Didn't Tricell take over in RE 5?[/sp]

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;51814990]How is Umbrella still a thing? [sp]Didn't Tricell take over in RE 5?[/sp][/QUOTE] Because of brand iconography.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;51814990]How is Umbrella still a thing? [sp]Didn't Tricell take over in RE 5?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp] Again, Umbrella corps is not umbrella, they share a name but only because it relates to their work, they scavenge pharmaceutical company technology and secrets from bio-hazardous zones that are otherwise lost. They aren't inherently evil, nor are they aligned with neo-umbrella or anything. Also, Tricell fell.[/sp]

[QUOTE=RikohZX;51814207]There's a theory going around that [sp]in the deceased lists of Umbrella operatives in RE5, there was an "Ethan W." among them at the bottom. Naturally, our protagonist's name is Ethan Winters, and this would be far from the first time in the series that a name in an earlier game suddenly has relevance in a later one. Insane Mia can mumble something about Ethan watching and hiding something from her, and while he could've been a desk jockey for all we know, his combat skills are surprisingly on-par with Mia's, he has extensive weapons and resource crafting skills, and even losing a hand doesn't really fuck with him much. His initially being scared can be summarized as being in a disadvantageous situation before he equals the ante.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]It wouldn't be the first time an RE game used a document to set up a new character that'd appear in a later game. Alex Wesker and Ada come to mind for example.[/sp]

Remember that time Chris "Boulder Punchy-Shoot McFuckface" Redfield got hyped and then started murdering a bunch of spiders? [t]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/a/ac/Resident_Evil_-_Code_Veronica_-_book_04_-_083.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110414231220[/t]

You know, one of the things that i find most interesting about the RE series, which overlaps with the Dead Rising series, seems Capcom enjoys doing it, is that unlike 90% of zombie fiction, the world doesnt end because the military and governments end up not being completely useless, and you end up seeing the ramifications of this dumb bullshit. That and zombies are biological weapons that end up becoming outdated.

That's all fun and all but I actually kind of wish that zombies weren't so outdated in my favorite zombie series. To be more precise, I wouldn't have had a problem with RE7 taking slightly more "reboot" liberties, if it let them fill the game with zombies instead of the [I]really[/I] generic "mold" dudes we got.

I just wished the molded looked different, maybe representing the several people who went missing. I really liked how many different models there were for REmake zombies.

Granted they dont really seem to want to do that but they'd be able to use old ass T-Virus zombies in a new game set in 2017 without there being a continuity issue.

Like big, toothy, jet black retarded kids. [editline]13th February 2017[/editline] Real talk what happened to those like, 3 other Nemesis' that were apparently lying around.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;51818885]I just wished the molded looked different, maybe representing the several people who went missing. I really liked how many different models there were for REmake zombies.[/QUOTE] I was really let down by this in RE7. The way that they foreshadow and leave documents in the world that [sp]establish the fact that the Bakers/Eveline were kidnapping and infecting people[/sp] was really well done and spooky, only for the big let down of [sp]all of them just turning into generic First Hour Teaser molded, which seem to be in more number than the amount of people who went missing. Like you said, even a little model variation would've been excellent, like if the Cop-bisection-turned-molded came back as an enemy.[/sp]

I was completely unclear on whether or not the [sp] molded are actually people turned molded, or if they just manifest from the gross stank Eveline spreads around? A few files, particularly near the start of the game, imply that they've been 'turning' people, but there are way too many molded present in the game for that to be the case. [/sp]

[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Extra bodies from the Ship, presumably. They're probably what you'll have to deal with in the Daughters DLC if that doesn't take place amidst the missing persons stuff.[/sp]

Are there any achievements tied to Ethan must die? I don't want there to be achievements tied to random chance.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;51818885]I just wished the molded looked different, maybe representing the several people who went missing.[/QUOTE] [sp]One of the molded was Pete.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Man in the Moon;51819069]Are there any achievements tied to Ethan must die? I don't want there to be achievements tied to random chance.[/QUOTE] I don't have it, but from looking at the trophy list the only achievement is just tied to completing it.

[QUOTE=TalonAran;51819110]I don't have it, but from looking at the trophy list the only achievement is just tied to completing it.[/QUOTE] Fuck, Exactly what I didn't want.

It would have been neat if all the molded were unique people and there was a special achievement for saving all of them. It also bugged me that the molded looked like regenerators but were not creepy like them. It was just the first one you run into since it drops right in your face and the first basement raid that spooked me
