What... where is Jill in RE6. Not like " I wanna play as Jill who is the Jake person" but where is Jill in general. I am not in on all the RE cannon, but if I remember correctly in re5 she got un-slave-ified. Was it ever explained, where she is I mean. I mean apocalypse seems to be her calling card.

Just interested, I would have asked this in a RE |OT|, but I didn't see an RE |OT|. I tend to not see a lot of things, so that may have just been incompetence.
 
I would have liked to have seen Jill in RE6....Chris's partner was generic, that I just hated playing his campaign because of it. I can see why Jill might not appear in RE6, because she was put through hell in RE5 being used as a slave, so..maybe she's taking some time off? But am I alone in that I actually really liked Sheva also? Would've liked seeing her instead of the bore that was Chris's partner..(See I can't even remember his name)
 
Why put a good character in a bad resident evil /jk

Chris campaign's the worst.
 
Heck, I'm still wondering when they're going to bring back Steve Burnside. In Code Veronica he
turned into a monster and attacked Claire. He then got axed to the wall, but his body is gone. It turns out that Wesker took his body and took a sample of it, he even mentions he can be revived. It implies that he isn't officially dead and may still be out there.

I'm still waiting for an RE game to come and explain him, or show him again. He was pretty likable in Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles and I played that before Code Veronica.

Someone should make that RE OT, I love the series and would love for a general place to talk about it.

I thought sheva was cool, I also think RE5 was cool too.

Had no issue with Chris's partner though, but that was some obvious yaoi bait if I ever seen it. But that doesn't exactly work out.

And Rebecca.

Who? ;)

Well, she was the main in RE: Revelations, which came out like a year before RE6...so maybe they didn't want to have the same character in RE6? I don't know...everyone was in that game, though.

"Dat ass"

In all seriousness thought, Resident Evil has built up quite a cast of important characters, and short of more clusterfucks like RE6 it isn't really even feasible to keep featuring all of them. I do wish they'd have Claire stay as Leon's buddy as much as Ada though, just makes sense ya know?
Also, they need to release a mercenaries mode that has everyone ever in it.

With each character having their own pros/cons outside of weapon selection like in RE4.
 
Honestly if they keep bringing back these characters they need to grow some and totally kill off a few key players. I thought this was going to happen in 6... it did not. DAMNIT!

Please don't do this Capcom.

And holy shit I didn't know anyone could possibly hate Leon. God damn.

Reboot Evil time. We need to kill Leon and erase his existence. This is the right way to do it.
 
I would take a break too if I was kidnapped by a mutant super powered psycopath who brainwashed me and made me his loyal slave.

take a moment and think about it.

Jill was basically under mind control throughout the entire time she was with Wesker.

Think of the things he made her do, if dying her hair blonde for some inexplicable reason is a hint of what Jill was put through, I would have taken a looooong ass vacation too.

They already did it in 5, although with a villain.

But yeah, imagine if RE7 killed a classic character on the intro, to show how high the stakes are. That'd be a bold move.

EDIT: Why do people keep asking where's Claire? I like her just as much as the next RE fan, but her absence is both explained and reasonable.
 
Not as criminal as Leon not being in Mercenaries on 3DS...:(

EDIT: Oh wow, didn't expect to see Leon hate! I think he's hilarious, especially in 4; the perfect mix of badass and dork!

It's reasonable and it makes sense.

But Claire is a better character than the rest....so she should have another game because, she is the best.
 
I've been with the series since day freaking one, they just have way to many characters. Kill some off, or finish their story properly and move forward. It's like endlessy giving the player blue balls. All these characters and never any damn resolution.

I remember they did this for Operation Raccoon City. The whole games theme was "will you kill Leon."

It didn't go off so well, especially since everyone knew it was a spin-off so it didn't matter anyways. Also the game wasn't so great.
 
And that was a mistake. Killing off another classic character will just alienate the people that haven't abandoned this series yet.

And what's the alternative? Because people bitch when they reuse the same characters over and over but also when they kill one for good. Huh.

The people that bitch about the same characters being reused probably aren't fans of the series anyway and don't matter.

Chris was in three "main" games in a row, though :P

There are so many characters waiting to star again, and yet Capcom is still reusing Chris, Jill, Ada and Leon. Meh :/

Claire stay as Leon's buddy as much as Ada though, just makes sense ya know?

I dunno, I think I like how Capcom ended her story, with her becoming an activist instead of a fighter. Her role in CODE: Veronica, where she was singlehandedly infiltrating Umbrella's facilities was really over the top. At least Leon was a cop and Jill & Chris were soldiers; she's a goddamn collage student.

Honestly if they keep bringing back these characters they need to grow some and totally kill off a few key players. I thought this was going to happen in 6... it did not. DAMNIT!

They don't need to kill them off. Just end their story arcs, let them retire or something.
Although some blood here and there would also be good. Because, let's be honest,
Piers and Steve
are the only characters that were playable (well, Steve was for few minutes) and are now officially dead. I expected
Chris Redfield
to die in RE6 (
it really seemed that Piers will become the new Chris
) but nope, not this time.

I think Capcom pretty much overhauled the entire RE lore after Code Veronica. Between that game and RE4 there seems to be a very clear rift in how it was handled, as if RE4 was kind of a rejection of everything that had come before. Capcom's just been making shitty attempts to tie up the original storyline ever since.
