Or is it just one of Asha's balls in my throat?
Revelations 2 Barry's quip about "tell chris to stop going to the gym all the time" was spot on.
I guess in terms of design, they wanted to bulk him up so he could seem like someone who can stand up to a super human Wesker.

Plot twist: Its the same boulder from RE1 and 4. It's been working with Wesker the whole time. Chris could only hope to beat it by removing his power limiter and becoming Roidfield.
Just finished it. What a fantastic game, great middle ground of horror and action. Not played a RE game since RE1 (on the Saturn no less) but this won me back over as a fan. Can't wait to see where they go next.
Just a nit-pick, but I don't really like how the choice has been labelled 'good' and 'bad' ending by fans. If I've got the story right, Mia had a double-life as a Umbrella agent and was escorting a volatile bioweapon on a civilian tanker. Zoe was an innocent. Mia dying and Zoe (potentially?) being alive is the good ending imo.

No way is Marguerite creepier than this bitch.
It needs to be said. Creepiest. Videogame. Enemy. Ever! Her appearance, the way she moves, and most of all, her freaking voice! Complete nightmare fuel!

Zoe sure as shit doesn't survive if you give her the serum, she turns to ash like Jack and Marge do when they die. It's a bit more unclear if you give it to Mia, at the very least we know she lives and Zoe's fate is left undisclosed (she's probably still dead though)

well .. from a certain point of view either ending can be good or bad.
Why I (and probably others) think Mia surviving is the 'good' ending is because you still can assume Zoe is alive back in the estate and finding Mia was the whole point of Ethan's journey, gotta give the man a happy end after all the shit he'd been through that night.
Side note, we never got confirmation that Mia was working for Umbrella, there were HCF name drops but no indication which organization Mia and Allen were working for specifically.
Wesker: Chris, did you think this was the end? Don't make me laugh. I may be dying but... it's of no concern. Have I introduced you and Sheva to my old friend? He's someone you've met before. Not just you, in fact.
Rock: I'm Rock.
Lisa doesn't crawl on the ceilings on all fours and bodyslam you like a professional wrestler.No way is Marguerite creepier than this bitch.
I never got the chance to play P.T.

At first yeah, but she was too stupid to be creepy for long. She kept banging her head on shit when trying to escape.
That's the lamest punch I've ever seen.

She would be second place for me.
When first fighting Marguerite I was feeling uncomfortable the entire damn time! Her crazy animations are just insane! And let's not forget the orgasm sounds she makes when giving birth to insect cocoons. D:
That's the punch of a person who enjoys having knuckles.

It would have been creepy for me if I didn't instantly think of the ice cream man from Legion because of the arms

Love it!
Man, if you've played PT I don't see how you could find Marguerite scarier, the stuff Lisa did was the stuff of nightmares. That shit was too much. I've played PT like fifteen times and even if I play it now, it still terrifies me.
This is great.

Yeah I wasn't all that keen on margarette. I liked how she pops you threw the window, and then her entrance into the boss arena was low. After that moment I thought she would burst out again, not slowly just crawl behind me for the boss fight to start.
But I wasn't really feeling her design. Since I'm more into BOW forms and such, while she just looked like a stretched out character model.

Or CV:
And then there's barry:
REmake:
Revelations 2:
What about Jill:
AnJillina from REmake
It's weird how so many are surprised that a major game franchise would redesign their characters. This happens all the time in game franchises, ESPECIALLY regarding the RE series.
Plus like every character except the Claire (voiced perfectly by the wonderful Alyson Court) has had different voices throughout the series.
I actually really liked the way Barry was shown in Rev 2. He looked a lot more like his RE1original version which I prefer from his REmake version. He looked way too young in REmake

He also looks very close to his RE3 epilogue:
Seeing young Moira with the same colors is weirding me out
Barry probably raised her to have a color scheme since she was little.
Was it because Clancy is the one who is tied up and ending up stabbed by Mia?
I asked this because the demo ended with a message The terror continues in RE7.
i remember reading an interview about RE5 that noted that chris's re5 face was based off the REmake's model with some additional mass as to fit the muscle he gained but i can never find it
the darkside chronicles widened REmake head really makes it exceedingly obvious though, geez. i'm pretty shocked cuz the resemblance never carried through that strongly before

Yeah, where as in the actual game, Clancy's death is a lot more different.

Saying it now - Wacky Dad and Bee Fanny are the best villains of this year.

Imma wait until P5 comes out.
Please, no one reply to this in a way that might spoil P5.

Wait, people are actually discussing if Eedfield at the ebd is Chris? Thought that was super obvious. He isn't as jacked as in RE5, yes, but that is not the first redesign Capcom has done - and neither the last is my guess.

It's not really the redesign that has people confused so much as him working for "Umbrella" but I agree, that reveal holds more narrative weight than him just not being Chris.
A friend told me it was written Chris Redfield in the credits...I didn't check myself though, can someone confirm?
This could clear the confusion for some, I don't see how it could be any other Redfield.
My only take was that Ethan is kind of an asshole. :lol
It is Chris Redfield in the credits, yes.
Because maybe Capcom doesnt wanna ruin the story by saying it's not him in the credits, there is still DLC to come out.
Or, rather, that was never the twist and the real twist is "Wait, Chris is working for the Umbrella Corps!?".
The reason why he doesn't look much like RE5/RE:R/RE6 Chris is likely because of the new way Capcom is capturing faces. It seems clear in the scene that Chris was supposed to be a familiar face to ground Resident Evil 7 in the RE universe, and in Japan he'd have at least a familiar voice, so there doesn't seem to be a good reason why he'd be a fake.

Should have been named Venom Redfield.
It comes off as he had no real intention of helping Zoe.
I'm very curious about where Capcom takes the series next. If you play through Madhouse mode, you get to hear a lot more character dialog during boss fights since everyone has much higher health and defense. Mia, in the attic of the guest house, says that you are lying and are hiding something. Another weird thing she says is that she has to destroy the core. Eveline states that Ethan doesn't actually love Mia when in the S2 floor of the wrecked ship. Ethan is also strangely ok with everything he's seeing and witnessing.
On another note, I just now noticed the dialog where Jack states obvious jealousy over Eveline wanting Ethan to be her new Dad. It seems that Jack is dead set on killing you because he's jealous that Eve likes you over him.
The one thing I don't understand is why Eveline is ok with this, especially in the beginning? She actively wants you to be her Dad (even Jack says this when you first get to the dissection room), yet shows in the memory flashbacks that she forced Mia to change and try to kill Ethan.Jack is dead set on killing you and she has no problem with that either. There's never a point where the player actively denies wanting to be her father, at least early on (Ethan is never given the chance).
The only conclusion that makes sense to me is that Eveline never cared if the player desired to be her father or not. Eveline has really just been trying for 3 years to get Mia to willingly be her mother. Since she couldn't accomplish this, she decided to get Mia to send for Ethan, hoping that would be the trigger that convinces her to willingly submit. I wonder if all this has to do with the short line that Mia says in her flashback that Eveline has embedded programming that prevents her from hurting/killing Mia? Maybe it wasn't the fact that she wanted Mia to willingly become her mother more so that Eveline literally couldn't force her to be? I mean, really doesn't make sense how Mia could actively resist Eveline for over three years. It looks like the Bakers were completely mind controled in a matter of weeks, or even days, going by Marguerite's documents.
Lastly, I'm very curious about Zoe's backstory. There are no documents from her other than what's in the trailer, but she has to be involved with the same group that oversaw Eveline. She specifically puts that watch on you because she knows it's the only device that allows you to have access to the boxes that let you make E-series Neurotoxin. She can also make E-series serum. She also is completely free of Eveline's mind control like Lucas. There's also no evidence that she's gone out of way to monitor, call, and help anyone other than Ethan (which introduces more intrigue).
I'm assuming since "Redfield" can talk to you through the watch, that Mia, Alan, and "Redfield" work for the same organization (Umbrella Corporation). So does this mean Umbrella were the master minds behind Eveline, or are they purely Mercenaries that were initially hired to protect Eveline, but are now tasked to destroy her and clean up the evidence?

Yeah I remember a similar interview but it was discussing Jill and that they basically took the texture from REmake and ran a similar process on it to what the FBI and such do to age it up.
Never found that interview again.

That's a shitty twist and makes for a worse ending
1.Your link states that after the slow process of infection, once they've reached a certain point, they can instantly regrow missing limbs. Not that they can instantly start growing limbs once exposed. You're not at that point yet obviously, since Lucas was past that point once he was under mind control.
2. Check the item description for the first aid tonic. It's 100% just a magic potion. This is why it also fixes the whole in your hand Mia's knife made, and why you pour it directly onto your severed leg. Note that the note you found also mentions regrowth of limbs, not reattachment, which the first aid juice says it is capable of doing.

Unfortunately RE6 Chris looked very sad
Maybe he lost the will and got plastic surgery instead

It slowly takes over the body, the word slowly has nothing to do with the regenerative abilities. Once it does take over the body, you mutate.
Also, the note specifically says the subject coapts the amputated limb, not that it grows a new one. Coapting means joining, not growing a new one. And the knife wound is still in your hand after you fight Mia in the guest house. You can see it when you place your hand in a wall.

Yep, I guess Evelyn making Mia send the info to Ethan to draw him out did not sit well with the Bakers who were content with them being Eve's family.

So if the Bakers were a peaceful family after all, why did they have a fucking morgue in the basement? We know that they are hunters, but animals are usually hung and not put in a drawer in a cold store. They also had a prison down there. I think all of that was build before Eveline turned them into monsters, because the map of the building clearly has those places named accordingly.
