Aww maaan!

The ''zombies'' running, jumping, using weapons and regenerating just sounds as though they have re-skinned the RE4/RE5 type enemies into zombies. That sucks!

I'm pretty sure all the original zombies were accidents. Remember the 4 itchy tasty diary in the first RE? They had a leak or something and had to wear special suits. They didn't intend for any of the zombie stuff to happen. But, like people have said, they were always trying to create bio-weapons. Super soldiers. Ultimately, it was a matter of time before they had mutated humans that could use weapons.

 

[Lucent]

I was going to say maybe that would explain the VHS but

Spoiler

I kinda feel cloning would be a stretch technology wise in the VHS era.

but thats coming from a game with biologically engineered zombies, super humans etc.

Well doesn't this game take place in 2013 or something? It's far from the VHS era either way. But, like today, VHS players and tapes still exist. Maybe crazy scientists still prefer VHS? lol

I think there's a pretty clear distinction between B.O.W. and these kind of "collateral" infections in the earlier games.

IE.

Zombies were just the workers who got exposed.
Lickers were directly experimented on to become Lickers
Nemesis / Hunters and the Tyrants were intentionally created using the viruses/parasites
Drain Deimos / Brain Suckers / Crows were infected by feasting on infected people

whereas in the newer games I think it's pretty much implied that the parasite that causes people to become Ganado / Majini are directly related to the antagonists. Like didn't Tricell introduce the parasite to a tribe in Kijuju? And then, of course, also created all the enemies you see throughout the game too.

D'uh, I'm stupid. In my previous post I said that this will be the first time when "

an intelligent and fully functional human clone will be one of the main villains

", but I forgot about the Ashford twins. Both Alfred and Alexia were the result of cloning Veronica's DNA after all. And those kids were created in '70.

I've worked in bio/pharmaceutical labs where they still use floppy discs.

FLOPPY DISCS.

It's kinda funny when you are using state of the art technology coupled to a floppy disc driver for readout.

Didn't even think about that.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Yeah.

Spoiler

cloning has been around in Resident Evil for a while. Alfred and Alexia were clones, that one guy in Umbrella Chronicles as well as those assistants he had were clones, and there was one other example I can think of but can't put my finger on that involved cloning...

 

[Nemesis_]

The most digusting thing is that they're bringing this storyline back in an even more stupid capacity than previously used in the NEW RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE too.

[Mr_Zombie]

Nah, RE movies use of clones subplot was beyond ridiculous. They just throw them into the plot for no real reason (you could cut off the whole beginning of Extinction and nothing would be missed story wise), used in few scenes, get rid of all of them at the beginning of the sequel and never mentioned them again.

Oh, I mean they are bringing the clone subplot back into the new movie. Not into RE6. >_>

Uhm, reading comprehension fail >_<

They are bringing clones back? Why? They had literally no purpose in two previous movies.

 

[Nemesis_]

Basically, they're reviving

Spoiler

all those terrible characters from the first movie that nobody liked, and Carlos. They're gonna purposely do it so they have this GOOD CHARACTER, BAD CHARACTER dynamic. Michelle Rodriguez was spotted on set emerging from some helicopter and injecting herself with the Plagas to become SUPER EVIL Rain

.

These movies. I don't know if I can anymore

 

[Mr_Zombie]

I thought those scenes with previously dead characters were just flashback :|
Why the hell would Umbrella (or anyone else) waste their time to bring back sidekicks that no one really miss?

 

[Liamario]

I was disappointed with Resi 5 after the fantastic Resi 4. I hope they achieve a better balance of action and horror with this one.
The Leon sections look great and I would love if they leaned more in that direction than dudebro Chris.

 

[Kaldea]

I just choose to completely ignore the existence of the RE movies. They make me a bit bitter sometimes. :/

That's going to get harder to do, what with all the Red Queens, Nemesis miniguns and laser rooms turning up in the games.

 

[News Bot]

The RED QUEEN and laser room references are pretty much just that: references. They're executed pretty well in the games and fit with the game universe.

The Nemesis minigun comes from a game that is inspired more by the movies than the games and is not made by CAPCOM, so its not really applicable.

So you RE fans. I have started playing RE5 yesterday and I don't know. It feels clumsy, a feeling which I did not have back in the day with RE4. Granted that was a long time ago and my memory may trick me. But is RE5 more cumbersome somehow?

Can't remember which control setup it is (C perhaps) but the one that allows you to strafe makes movement a hell of a easier. Definitely doesn't feel cumbersome to me.

Did GameTrailers manage to license some music from the Biohazard 6 score, or is it just my impression???

Have you tried cranking up the turning speed? Should help a bit, though the game is clunky in general.

MERCHENARIES - MERCHANT IS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER! :O

 

[WiiredShawn]

"Merchenaries"? If that's a typo, it is quite possibly the greatest typo ever.

 

[derFeef]

that's the most amateurish blood-text I have ever seen. The O of NO looks like a little doodle-dude.

 

[Auron_Kale]

From the ad currently shown on GameFAQs:

Yep, who needs spellcheck? Capcpom apparently doesn't need it.

Also, we know that they'll be milking the "merch" in Merchenaries as they're already splitting maps four ways.

Oh well, I'm starting to enjoy the lack of QC when these ads are released.

It looks more like someone spray painted it to me.

Capcom is on a roll with their spelling.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Now it's just intentional.

I actually read the ad as "MERCHANT" at first - but then that made zero sense.

Yeah game always feels like a tank compared to RE4. I forget what controller setup I used too, but I mimiced as much of GC RE4 as I could.

MERCHENARIES?

Revelaitons!

[Replicant]

guys about the 'test subject'

so the tops of the letters to me looked like a C first name and R last name. So my first thought was Chris because I always have a feeling hes going to die every game. then I thought Claire would explain Chris' attitude.

But this just hit me!

Spoiler

'Carla Radames'

Would explain alot.

Who? Never heard the name before.

 

[Nemesis_]

Don't look into it if you don't want to be spoiled.

 

[Carbonox]

The only way to tell you who that is would be to spoil what could be a major part of the plot, if that's something you'd rather keep under wraps.

nice post. thank you. it actually enriches what is already a very rich game for me.

The two producers worked heavily on REmake and RE4 too. Kobayashi also worked on RE1, RE2 and RE3. Needless to say, the game is in good hands. Which is a first for the series in a long time.
