Something that intrigued me on my first playthrough that was debunked on my second- during Mia's ship tape, you can't open certain doors/lockers, not take the items, and have said items appear in the present time. Which sucks, because remote bombs are very useful in the salt mines for crowd control (on Madhouse).

I'm kind of assuming already they're gonna ditch the house again. Since the reusing of mansions and such was part of the reason people got tired the first time.

Just finished the game and loved every second in it.
But maybe because I was too scared, or I'm dumb, or both, I didn't understand everything. Like:
1: Why the hell the boat is here? How did it gets here?
2: So who is "trully" Mia after all? A scientist who work in that lab? An agent of some "security bio tech company" who were supposed to "body guard" Evelyn on that boat?
3: Right before Mia frees you in the boat, Ethan have a "vision", of Mr Baker telling him "oh please save us, kill Evelyn" blabla, was it a vision? Because if not how was he on the boat, then on the house again to receive a speach from Mr Baker and then back on the boat...? Seems very elaborated for a vision.
4: The question might seem dumb but I'm not sure to understand why the Lab was there (under the Salt mine), were there studying biothings like this "E Virus"? It makes me confuse because then I understand why the Bakers were contaminated: something went out of the lab and boom, but it doesn't seem to be it... In the vision of Ethan, Mr Baker says that "he found the girl (Evelyn) around the wrecked ship, and brought her back home", and the ship had an accident when Mia was on it for her "mission", but then what happened? Mia had to bring Evelyn on another location, with a boat, and the boat had that accident and... came back to the place were the lab was? How? I'm very confused about all that part.
Sorry, I suppose that everything I say were discussed before but I tried to read a few page and didn't find anything, and I'm too lazy to read all the pages... Every answer will be appreciated!

I really liked Jack's character. His voice actor also did an amazing job. I love his "I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you" as he tries to drive over you with a car.
Also I just finished it for the second time under 4 hours, chose Zoe this time. Unlocked X-ray glasses and circular saw.

Jack was by far the star of the game. I really wish there was more human jack. Would have been more interesting in the second section it was Margaret and jack.

"More of a line of residences on a street, really. With shops. And they're all on fire"

In some of the leadup to RE7 it was speculated we would go to the town of Dulvey, since I thought somewhere in promo materials it said that a hospital there had the mold problem as well (sorry no source on that)
I actually applaud Capcom for sticking to and keeping the location to the plantation and surrounding areas, no "We're going to China!" or "There was a war in Eastern Europe!" excuse for globe-trotting
I think the best moment that got a laugh out of me from Jack was at the end of the third boss fight:
"We a family now!" he says in a totally normal voice despite being a giant blob-eyed monster thing.
Also, why does almost every Resident Evil game devolve into some of the bosses being this indistinguishable parasitic-worm-blob thing. Was really bummed that that's what we got as the final boss.

1: The boat was transporting Eveline. It crashed when she got out and started infecting everyone as seen in Mia's tape (tape #4)
2: That's the assumption. You can tell she knows what she's dealing with in the tape. It's most likely the company who created the E series aka Eveline.
3: I assume he was able to talk with Mr Baker and Zoe because during that time he was held in a mold cocoon. He probably had a way to communicate with similar people who were infected. The only thing is, Jack and Zoe died. But I believe it's because of the proximity of the times of death that you're able to talk to them. That's why you don't see Mrs Baker or Margeurite. Because techincally she was the first one you completely killed off.
4: The lab was never known to Eveline/the family except for Lucas as it's his lab. He's been in contact with the company who created the E-series as show in the documents in the lab.

Completely agree. I like the idea of of the humanoid form losing it's humanity. But i've been getting real annoyed on the reliance of blob style bosses. Keep a humanoid form and add something stuff to it like Birkin back in the day. Rather than just jump straight to big and bulbous. I think the final fight with jack would have been a bit more interesting if it had a better design.

Yeah, pre and post party are going to have to be the two item box moments. You can't fight margerite without a weapon and can't fight mutated jack without a weapon. I think it ought to be fine with infinite ammo. Just...manage your inventory wisely.

I would've been okay if we got something like Wesker at RE5 ( though he had worm shit, too), or even Salazar, but this gooey worm shit is old, man.

Nyx from Outbreak File 2 was a pretty creepy and fucked up variation of the blob monster. It's a blob-ish monster but still has a distinguishable silhouette without a mess of tentacles obscuring its shape. I love the mass of umbrella soldiers it absorbed into its arm and the tyrant it absorbed too.
That... looks like... dickbutt

Thanks for your answers.
1: Ok but it seemed to me that in the tape the boat was in the sea, kinda far away, but where we find it seems to be in a kind of swamp, or maybe it was just how I felt but I'm wrong after all, that's very possbible.
2: Yes that's what I think so too.
3: Interesting, I didn't think of it that way.
4: Oh really? I read all the documents (found all of them on my first run, wasn't hard), but I didn't understand that, well at the end where we find the most important files I was kinda "hurry" because I felt I was almost at the end of the game, so maybe I didn't pay enough attention.

RE fans are weird
Shoulda been there for the leadup to RE5 when lots couldn't come to terms that Chris was Chris in that first trailer (to be fair that was the first time we see him roided up and they didn't say his name outright til like two years later). Lots of people saying "It's Billy! It's HUNK! It's Carlos! It's Ark Thompson(why)!"

What if the person Ethan is on the phone with at the beginning of the game is Chris, and that's why he recognizes the name "Redfield"? Fits in with the "he hates bioweapons" theory, and he could have gone to BSAA after losing his wife who he met at Umbrella.
Because it's not Chris

Maybe Chris finally came to terms with his love affair for Wesker so he started developing bioweapons, named a gun after the guy, and founded Neo Neo Umbrella
And also resisted the urge to run in and punch everyone as soon as they found the site.

We never find out. I think the last we hear is that he was heading for the mines.
I'm hoping that we get to see the story of Lucas wrapped up in the DLC. He's the most interesting character for me and we find evidence that he had a screw loose long before Eveline showed up.

I still think it's chris. But that this is a "new" umbrella. It's odd all around though.

I just finished and yeah it has become too much of a running theme recently,Evelyn became a giant blob (ok) Alex last form was a giant mass of tentacles,Carla became a giant blob,Excella giant blob. Even one of the villains from the spin offs wss a giant blob.
Its that or a Tyrant
Let's say Capcom wants to leave some ambiguity and have a twist about the reveal of Redfield. Why would they spoil that there is a twist in the credits?
Although they could have just put: redfield in the credits. So maybe it is Chris. Time will tell I suppose.
UrbanDandy
Member
He fled to the mines, Umbrella tried to get to him and after that disappeared. This was through dialog over the radio after you control Ethan again. Lucas is the only one of the Bakers that makes a quick getaway.
I'm reminded of what Jack says to Ethan in that dreamscape about how he and his family - included Lucas - were not killers. Lucas was a bad seed and the mold expanded on this vile personality. I believe he is the best character, and unfortunately for some fans, Jack takes 2nd place.

That's clone enough in my book
Ok, I need to know.
How the hell was I supposed to escape the birthday cake room after it had all the oil? So there was no way to succeed if I hadn't known about that
Just finished. I really loved it, and most of my (small) gripes were addressed by some people in this thread, like Ethan's lack of reaction to things and his "balls of steel", specially early on, pressing on uncharted, clearly infested territory like it was nothing. A "normal" person would've bailed out much sooner. I had pegged it as "to benefit the gameplay", but these stories of him being a scientist/ex-umbrella employee were really great. It really melds together with the whole Redfield (which is clearly not Chris) scene at the end.
I really like that Hunk theory. In a pre-Alex Wesker world, I would've doubted it on the spot, but now, I'm a believer.
Capcom dun gud.

He didn't just name it after Wesker--the Albert-01 is a Samurai Edge; either Chris' or Wesker's.
Honestly, that whole conversation just made me feel awful for him, Marguerite, and Zoe. Not Lucas, though, because he was a sadistic little shit long before he was infected.
You're not. It's supposed to be an inescapable death trap. Ethan escaped because he saw the "proper" solution via VHS and thus knew the padlock code already, bypassing the part that would've killed him.

Tyrant would be a unique spin since we haven't had one in awhile as a ending boss since Rev 1.

For him being Chris:
- VA listing
- The Albert gun is literally Wesker's Samurai Edge and the only person who'd be able to pick it up is Chris in RE5. (But maybe there was a clean up crew who knows)
For him Being HUNK:
The previous post here lists it nicely but to sum it up,
- He's part of a clean up crew with a company named Umbella Corps
- He really looks similar to HUNK unmasked at the end of RE2.
- Dlc is named not a hero (although this could be because he didn't do jack shit until the end but we'll find out soon enough)
No you can't input the code as Clancy until you go through the whole sequence.

You can't not die when playing the tape. With Ethan you escape because you know the password is 'LOSER'. Since you know that you don't have to leak the oil.
It's very clever.
He will always die. : (

The idea of Chris working for Umbrella wouldn't just be a lame twist, it would go against literally everything they've been building with him over the entire series. Unless he's working undercover, but that wouldn't make any sense either.
This guy is not Chris. There are far too many red flags apart from the huge visual difference.

Don't forget Nemesis becomes a giant blob in RE3 and probably the most literal giant blob in the series is the final boss of Resident Evil: Dead aim.
I think actually the best final boss giant blob in the series is either the obvious one (William Birkin), the Outbreak File 2 Nyx one, or the unspoken one, the final boss of Darkside Chronicles:

You should go read dbl219's great post again.
The obvious implication is that the character wants Ethan to think he's Chris. They're not going to give it away in the credits otherwise. Calling himself simply Redfield isn't supposed to refer to another character with that last name, it's supposed to be make players think how odd it is that he'd refer to himself that way.

It is a good post. Almost too good.
As I said it just reminds me too much of the indoctrination stuff from ME3 when people got mad at the ending. That theory was amazing, and bioware should have just taken it. But alas it didn't happen. So that's why i'm still gonna be weary of anything like that as to not get my hopes up.
Capcom already tricked me once making me think RE7 was gonna be about Jake. Not gonna assume anything with them RE story wise.
