Resident Evil has more unresolved sexual tension than any series in HISTORY *NSFW*

Agreed.
This thread is actually pretty lovable. I like the op's conviction and earnestness. He's all in on this argument.
While at the same time somehow totally misreading the series.
Truth is, there is zero sexual tension in RE. Zip. Zilch. None. Even MGS, which isn't exactly romance central, has porno mags and butt admiring. You get the sense that the characters might at least go home and fuck somebody, if not each other.
What does RE have? Action, gore, zombies and not-zombies, guns, stuff blowin up, and primo voice acting. What it doesn't have is characters with a sex drive. They don't even seem to realize that sex exists. There's sexual IMAGERY, in the character and enemy design, communicated from the game to the player, but actual sexual desire between two characters is totally absent.
RE? More like Rampaging Eunuchs.

so hows the forecast looking in RE7?

The main character, Ethan Winters, has received a sign that his wife who he thought has been dead for three years, Mia Winters, may in fact still be alive.
In Damnation (which takes place before RE6), there's references they make to picking up from a 'night' they had together, with pretty heavy implications.
But they're only implications.
The director of Damnation said they wanted to push it further in an interview but Capcom stopped them.

GAF delivers again. Quality thread. Breaking out the popcorn for this one.
Oh god, the memories:
after looking after Ashley in RE4 all game long and being through all shit and she actively hitting on Chris at the end of the game... Chris, the man with no penis? Asexual?
Why I hate Shonen comics with romance with a passion. Nothing will EVER happen, even with the characters blueballing and walling till the pain takes them down.

A bodyguard of the president fucking his daughter would not be a good idea at all. This thread's premise is really weird, for a lot of the characters they're genuinely just friends with no hints at romance, the series is pretty overt when there's supposed to be a relationship of some sort, like Leon and Ada, (RE6 was literally caused because of this, fuck RE6). Chris and Jill are close enough friends that she can tease him about his conquests, Claire and Leon are pretty good friends that she isn't bothered by him literally being asked out in front of her. Barry's married. Carlos fucked off never to be seen again. Billy fucked off never to be seen again. Steve is dead. etc. etc. etc.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Revelations 3 better star Carlos or Billy.

You know it's an old neogaf thread when you see a ton of users with banned accounts posted in it.
By the way, Sheva and Josh clearly have some history together.

This was hinted in one of the series' novelizations.
Huh? Off the top of my head, Rurouni Kenshin, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Kinnikuman, Dr. Slump, and Naruto have all had characters get together with a long-term love interest. Yu-Gi-Oh at least heavily implied that Yugi ends up with Anzu. Shaman King, to my understanding, has a point where Yoh and Anna have sex. Also there's Dark Schneider from Bastard.
This thread remind me why i love RE in the first place, with the serie-b like-scheme movie cheesy action characters and stuff. Good action, gameplay, mostly graphics, good atmosphere, and etc.
All the RE characters (well almost) are pretty cool too.What happened?
Are the RE CGI movies any good? i think i should watch them if i want something down that line of RE4, 5 and 6.,

Chris S. Kennedy, the GOAT RE protagonist.
Degeneration isn't great, but you'll get a bit of enjoyment out of it if you're a fan. Probably.
Damnation is also meh at best, but some of the action scenes are damn cool so I'd say it's worth a shot.
Sample of what I mean from Volume 2:
The irony of the text and where the "camera" is focused in that last panel is too much for me. Simply dead.

When I first started playing Re4 and the game started teasing you that Ada was alive, I was like, "oh Leon is going to be so surprised when they meet up". What did we get instead? "Oh, hi Ada (don't care bout chu)"
When they said that Jill was dead in RE5, I had some glimmer of hope that Chris would find Jill alive and just for a moment let his personal feelings be known. Instead we got Chris quite seriously declare that Jill was "just his partner!"
If I was Chris I'da been like, "Wesker can wait, I need a sandwich" after rescuing Jill.

He was clearly lying.
He hesitates when Jill tells him to go ahead and stop Wesker from destroying the world,
And says "Well yeah but...." while looking at her.
They are both professionals and Chris nor Jill would say love stuff in the middle of a mission.

I find Jessica's character hilarious in Revelations 1 because of this. She's trying so hard to seduce Chris and be a good
double agent
They just register nothing she does, like they can't even comprehend what she's trying to do. Jessica really barked up the wrong tree, but it makes the scene unintentionally/intentionly hilarious.

Don't feel sorry for Helena, she clearly took Ada's lunch. Feel sorry for Josh.
Sheva: "I am going to follow this hot man into unspeakable danger."
Josh: "I will leave and get help."

Wait, is that the setup?
Yup, the Silent Hill 2 comparisions have been made. But as far as we know (because Capcom have been evasive in showing the first hour of RE7), Ethan goes to the Baker Plantation in Dulvey, Louisiana because of a sign his wife Mia, dead supposedly for three years, may be alive.
I suspect it may go in a very different direction though.
...
I mean, at the very least we know Jack and Marguiete Baker had to have got it on before RE7 takes place to make their children.

They remind of the Benedicts from Necronomicon: Book of the Dead
The anthology has imagery that will likely be familiar if you've played Code Veronica, RE5, and Dead Space. So much so that I'm sure that someone at Capcom has seen the film, like Dagon.

I will never accept that somebody that's as much as a workaholic as Wesker would seriously consider hooking up with somebody, let alone not using protection, or at the very least, not near constantly monitoring the life of his kid who's the spawn of someone who's very specifically bred as a higher kind of human through genetic fuckery. Genetic fuckery that literally includes a bilt in compulsion to seek out Spencer when he's old enough. In other words, fuck RE6.Such disrespect to the real God

On top of this, the period of time Jake would of been born makes no sense with everything else.
I liked Jake more than I expected and accept him as a character, but his existance is bullshit.
He seemed pretty uninterested in Excella. (Which is a quite inhuman feat) Maybe the t-virus had some terrible side effects regarding his nether regions.Such disrespect to the real God

Wesker is the Dio Brando of the RE universe, before he went to Global Saturation status he traveled the world making several mini Weskers.

Wait, that wasn't a joke? Jesus Christ it's even the number of years.
I do hope they took notes from SH2 though.

What's even more funny is that the premise was announced in the following trailer while showing someone (presumably Ethan) drowning, a scene closely resembling SH2's "In Water" ending:

The Tyrant in RE1 impaling his dick is canon. Jake was a just a little boy's daydream.

I love Jake. If anything it helps humanize Wesker a bit. Yeah all that god talk and such in RE5, but even he had to fall for someone at some point. Since from recollection, the Mom didn't seem to talk ill of Wesker.
Also helps with why he was kinda ignoring excella advances.
