Resident Evil Megathread: COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION! - Games

Are there any stories that tell what S.T.A.R.S. was up to before the mansion? Like were they created specifically to fight monsters?

'Wait, why did I put that in, I need that. Wait, why did I take that, I don't need it. I took the wrong thing out, I actually needed that, but now that I look at it, I really did need it. Wait, did I need that?'

He just looks less buff with different eyes. Everyone is acting like he looks completely different, I just can't see a major difference other than the eyes.[/sp] [editline]21st February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;51852918]Are there any stories that tell what S.T.A.R.S. was up to before the mansion?

How do you not see a major difference Pliskin? It's like thinking Snake really died on that tanker 2 years ago, and then being surprised that Pliskin is actually Snake.

[QUOTE=Exploders;51855309]How do you not see a major difference Pliskin? It's like thinking Snake really died on that tanker 2 years ago, and then being surprised that Pliskin is actually Snake.[/QUOTE] His eyes are different, his hairline and eyebrow shapes are similar but way lighter than previous games, his face isnt quite as wide, and his skin tone is off (but that could just be lighting). Though those arent super big, they're more subtle, the biggest difference is his chin and jawline i think.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;51852918]Are there any stories that tell what S.T.A.R.S. was up to before the mansion?

[editline]21st February 2017[/editline] Oh speaking of Fanon shit, I now have an excuse to post RE fanart done by a friend of mine, it's of Jill in her time with the US Army Delta Force. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/86uVj2K.jpg[/img_thumb] God I hope they bring her back, I love Jill.

Yeah, for RE7 all of the face models just come from the Acqua Models site. Here's Zoe [url]http://www.acquamodels.com/model/38[/url] and here is [sp] Chris [/sp] [url]http://www.acquamodels.com/model/992[/url]

where is mia, i am curious to see if her real life counterpart's lack of chin is as severe as the game models

[QUOTE=Rusty100;51855944]where is mia, i am curious to see if her real life counterpart's lack of chin is as severe as the game models[/QUOTE] Not sure if Mia's model is on Acqua or not, but here is her facebook [url]https://www.facebook.com/sav.daniels[/url] Also, here's Lucas, just because his page has some interesting pictures [url]http://www.acquamodels.com/model/2109[/url]

I suppose it helps they have more consistent hair/beard styles/colors and clothing, but still. [editline]21st February 2017[/editline] [sp]Rewatching HUNK's cutscenes from Umbrella Chronicles, the face in the reflection once he takes his mask off does resemble "Redfield". [/sp]

Oh, and the model for Mia was also the mocap person for Paz in MGSV. [media]https://twitter.com/popcicle/status/645014531991703552[/media]

I was reading some theories on the ending and someone pointed out the guy who directed Revelations 1 and RE7 are the same, and just like with what people are theorizing now, in the teaser for Revelations 1 theres a small clip of [sp]HUNK[/sp] and a [sp]Chris doppelganger[/sp], which didnt actually happen in that game.

Wasn't HUNK a Raid mode character?

[QUOTE=Rika-chan;51856404]Wasn't HUNK a Raid mode character?[/QUOTE] Well, yeah, but as much a Raid mode character as Wesker. He debuted in Resident Evil 2.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51855998]But again, its not really an excuse when another game doing the same kind of thing had returning characters remain more or less the recognizably the same. [/QUOTE] Chris looked very different between Code: Veronica and 5. [editline]21st February 2017[/editline] Hell, there was speculation when Resident Evil 5 was announced that you were playing as Billy Coen, not Chris.

[QUOTE=Rika-chan;51856404]Wasn't HUNK a Raid mode character?[/QUOTE] He went in with a squad to retrieve William Birkin's G-virus sample, and one trigger-happy soldier's startled gunfire hit Birkin, which would lead to Birkin injecting himself and then accidentally spreading the virus into Raccoon City. In a sense, HUNK can be held as personally accountable for the outbreak due to being the squad leader, not that Umbrella cared. He exists canonically, it's just that he also happens to be the face of extra game modes and a fan-favorite too despite not getting any more story emphasis for the rest of the series (besides a reference about him being the one that transferred a Tyrant container for Umbrella to Rockfort Island in Operation Raccoon City's viral marketing stuff).

Same chin, cheekbones, forehead, nose, ears, eye wrinkles, lips (hard to find good comparison pictures but at least his lower lip on both and his upper on REmake and RE6) and hairline.

His face model in CV has a sharper jawline and pointier nose than in other modern games. [sp]And once again, the only real difference between Chris in the past couple games and Chris now are the eyes. Not really a hard concept to grasp. Just kind of happens when you use different face models.[/sp]

It's Resident Evil. It's not a series built on confusing storylines and political commentary, it's a horror series. You're all overthinking it. It's Chris Redfield. There's no reason for it to be HUNK or anyone else, and all evidence points against that theory.[/sp]

Should have clarified I was just talking about the Revelations one teaser that was mentioned. Pretty sure HUNK was in Rev1 raid mode so that could have been what that was.

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;51857121][sp]This isn't Metal Gear. It's Resident Evil. It's not a series built on confusing storylines and political commentary, it's a horror series.[/sp][/QUOTE] Doesnt matter. Like that has nothing to do with what i said at all. Metal Gear went from normal sculpted models to facial scans but despite that, Snake, Ocelot, Miller, Huey, and Liquid are all immediately recognizable. (Granted, its difficult to tell if they were scanned or not because we only know Joosten, various KojiPro employees including the man himself, and Code Talker were scanned for sure, but in either case my point still stands, doubly so if they were sculpted) [QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;51857121][sp]You're all overthinking it.

Character looks different from Chris in Vendetta, thats one. Character has a different voice from Chris' new VA or Roger Craig Smith in Vendetta, thats a big one because Damnation was done during RE6's development and they used Matt Mercer for Leon in it in turn, and are still using him for the new one. Character refers to himself on a surname basis when Chris introduced himself on a first name basis to others before, small one. Capcom is being vague on the matter from what ive seen, and the ending is intentionally mysterious about him and his allegiances. IIRC He's listed as having 5 VA's in the Japanese dub. And then theres the guy who directed RE7 directing another RE title where there was ambiguity about Chris' allegiances, a Chris doppelganger, and HUNK in the initial teaser, which ended up not being in the game but still.[/sp] Whether or not it does turn out to be him or not, theres certainly enough there to get suspicious.

That trailer is weird.

He wasn't in the original release of Revelations, he was one of the many characters added to the console/PC release.

And he's not affiliated with Umbrella. He's with Umbrella Corps. It's just a freelance military operation that cleans up BOWs. Leon looks really weird in Vendetta too. Once again, Chris in 7 uses a new face model. Name basis is irrelevant when you're picking up someone as a part of your job, it's a professionalism thing. They're being vague because story DLC featuring Chris is coming out. His Japanese VA is the same person that played him in 6 and Revelations. Revelations was obviously overhauled in development. Those are just early story ideas.[/sp] It is absolutely about whether or not it's him, considering how many people are making up ridiculous theories about it. The DLC will likely explain these things.

At this point, Resident Evil basically does whatever the fuck it wants. [sp]It probably is Chris,[/sp] it's not like RE7's writing was exactly the best at times and at this point I hope it's true simply because the fan theory about HUNK is ridiculous and blown out of proportion at this point. But I guess I shouldn't think that either, given the starting statement of this post.
