The G-Virus was meant to heal people/experiments with eye damage and regeneration backfiring
Just look at most of the G-Virus creatures.Notice they have an eye as a weak spot normally.Umbrella probably wanted the virus to regenerate damage to the eyes or other body parts.But the regeneration went berserk and the subject regenerating turned into....what ever they are now.
K-Mart from the movies is actually Ashley
First off, they're equally useless and end up as the damsel in distress more often than not. That'd also explain why she'd rather go by K-Mart since she doesn't want people to know her true identity as the president's daughter. Though that's pretty pointless by now, it's probably a habit that has stuck to her. If anything, she could be using the alias to show that she's equal to them and doesn't want to be treated as the pampered daughter of a powerful man.
Wesker's sunglasses are more than Cool Shades.
In another series I read, the main character has a pair of special sunglasses designed to make up for his lost eyesight. Aside from that, they also have a program that can analyze the data of whatever guns and weapons his enemies are using. In addition to that, someone can even look up information on things via the internet, and send him the data in the midst of battle. They can also give him a possible trajectory of the bullets based on the data it's analyzed. My theory is that as of Resident Evil 5 (specifically as of the Spencer mansion incident), Wesker's sunglasses do the same thing: pop up information on his HUD during battle and show pathways of bullets. That's the only way I can make sense of how he can dodge fire from automatic weapons and not get hit; I get that he has super human reflexes and all that, but still. The time it would take for him to look at someone's gun, guess how they're going to fire it, and dodge would still be long enough that he should get hit every now and then. Especially when you have some people who just fire blindly. But if he has someone on Mission Control feeding him info via his glasses, then he can avoid all that and just focus on dodging the attacks and in turn kicking the shit out of people. It would also explain why he ALWAYS HAS THEM ON regardless unless someone actually forces them off his face. Granted, anything before maybe RE 4 and RE 5 is mostly Rule Of Cool still.
HUNK is really Albert Wesker
Ada was Ingrid Hunnigan
The U.S. Government knew what Umbrella was doing.
Why did the U.S. government attack Umbrella's factory on October 1st?
Did they want to destroy the T-Virus, or did they want it for themselves? As a corollary, how did they manage to get the rail cannon into the factory's power room?
Why did the government order a bombing run on Raccoon City?
The issue here isn't how the government knows about the outbreak; that's obvious. The issue is what they know that made them decide upon sterilization of the area, as opposed to sending in the CDC. This is a B-movie type game, yeah, but it could be an interesting plot point. Conspiracies abound...
Billy knows more than what he told Rebecca
What happened to Billy Coen in Africa (interestingly enough, people think the protagonist in RE5 is Billy, though clearly it's Chris, now having seen the new trailer), and what did it have to do with the mother virus? (I initially thought that Billy's exclamation in the factory was simply an RE2-style plot dodge; it's assumed that the player knows what a given virus is by now, if only from files, so the character does too. However, Billy says "mother virus," and no file in RE0 mentions that. They're all about the Progenitor.)
Ada Wong...
... is clearly a government double (triple?) agent.
Sir Ozwell E. Spencer is likely still alive
No game in the franchise implicitly states that he's dead.
The T-Virus can affect things positively...
This is why eating hallway plants restores your health.
...but it does cause some delusions
This is why characters think typewriter rolls are so important and that crates have magical teleporting powers. And that splitting up all the time is so awesome.
Umbrella never toppled.
By RE4, Umbrella has since ceased to exist, who's only remembered for setting of one of the worst tragedies and genocides in human history. If this is so, then why are First-aid sprays so readily available? Someone is obviously making more, because even medicine deteriorates over time. It can't be that The Merchant simply obtained a surplus, because they would have been useless by the time Leon, his best customer, came to the area. Umbrella either still exists as an underground company, or is owned by some mother company. Either way, Umbrella could technically go about its research, so long as no one ever found out about them AGAIN.
The merchant in RE4 is a Ganado of the Chaotic Good type
There's some evidence to this idea. His skin seems to have the same complexion as a Ganado villager, at night his eyes glow like a Plaga-carrying Ganado, and he seems to have a thing for violence (He can't be carrying all them guns just to look pretty), what with him selling guns to Leon. But rather than trying to use all of this weaponry to blast a hole in Leon, if not supply the Ganados with enough weaponry to put the UBCS to shame, he seems to sell them to Leon for varying prices. Not only that, but he gladly accepts any treasure from Leon for cash. It could be some sort of glitch in the Ganado possession programming which rendered the merchant(s?) not exactly evil, since he doesn't try to kill Leon, but not exactly good either, since he chuckles evilly when Leon buys off of him. The Ganados seem to pay him no mind, since he's still alive wherever Leon goes.
The Merchant is the real Big Bad of the entire series
...and he makes his profit by selling any random stranger ridiculous guns at a high price, using any other guns left over to blow the sucker away while they're not looking, loot the guns back and sell them to the next traveler, keeping both guns and money. Rinse and repeat. Leon is just too smart for that, which is exactly why the Merchant chuckles evilly when Leon buys things off of him; he considers Leon a Worthy Opponent of some sort. But his Master Plan to take over the world involves taking this de facto currency and bringing it into circulation, and in some massive Artistic License - Economics moment, throws the entire world (or at least Spain)'s economy into chaos.
The Merchant had a Control Type Las Plagas in him.
This explains why enemies do not find him, cause he just uses the control Plagas to Jedi Mind Trick them into seeing nothing. Were he to give orders to the Ganados, then the other controllers such as Saddler and Salvador would notice that their minions were going off track. However, since Leon Kennedy killed all the controllers in Spain, The Merchant is free to use the remaining Ganados as he sees fit.
Whatever experiments Wesker may be conducting as of now may have the potential to revive the dead
After all, he did hint at the end of Code Veronica that Steve might come back from the dead. He and Birkin might have been working on it since Day 1, owing to Wesker's survival of RE1's Mansion Incident despite being gutted by a Tyrant, so it wouldn't be a fair stretch to say his experiments may have led to Ada's survival of RE2 and may lead to the potential return of Steve.
Leon became aware that Ada was Not Quite Dead before the events of RE4
Think about it. When they meet in Salazar's castle for the first time, Leon says "So it is true. You are working for Wesker" rather than expressing surprise at seeing her alive despite seeing her die. Noting that one works for Wesker isn't a natural response to meeting for the first time someone you believed (and saw) died. There are many theories to this. For example, the Leon A scenario could be canon and a bit of Leon hoped and thought that Ada could still be alive. Or the both of them could have communicated offscreen, with Ada sending Leon a message that she was alive and in Wesker's payroll. Perhaps the denial overrode acceptance and won out in the end, since in RE2's Leon B scenario, what appears to be Ada throws a Rocket Launcher to Leon to help destroy the Mr X-type Tyrant. Or in fact, canonically, Ada NEVER did die in the first place, but Leon and Ada split up during the laboratory segment and they didn't meet again til RE4.
Many canon characters are traitors...
Stay with me, please. One of the many, many reasons for the outbreaks in and around Raccoon City are to test how humans survive in these kinds of survival situations. Maybe Umbrella/the government has access to crapsack/horror dimensions. Maybe they are just interested in tactics. Either way, many of the characters are being carefully monitored to see how they fight against the monsters... and their partners are in on it. All this is to explain why everyone keeps encouraging everyone else to 'split up for now'. Shake trees, shake!
Mike from RE4 was a Transformer.
Come on, it's so obvious! We never see him leave the chopper. When you actually get a good look at the chopper, there's no one inside. It also explains why Leon is so upset. You see, Leon was excited because he was going to get some help from an alien super-robot, but Saddler killed Mike before he was actually helpful! Leon didn't really care about saving Ashley after that, he was just trying to get revenge on Saddler for destroying his robot friend. In addition, Mike was supposed to give Leon the name of a good bar, but he was destroyed before he could. No one comes between Leon and his alcohol.
Umbrella managers have (had) no idea what the hell they were doing
No... uh... I didn't fail to contain the zombie outbreak and get my men slaughtered because I'm an incompetent moron, I... uh... I sabotaged them to get 'combat data'. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Jack Krauser didn't use Las Plagas
He was just so incredibly manly he decided to mutate.
Las Plagas are Eldritch Abominations.
Of all the various viruses and Applied Phlebotinum in the series, it's generally Las Plagas or their derivatives that actually cause the most insanely rapid mutations, often seemingly creating new mass from nothing. Las Plagas also were "sealed away" beneath the Salazar castle for centuries or more, and have a cult devoted to their worship. Anyone else smell Lovecraftian abomination?
The plants that grow around Raccoon City are wild, addictive hallucinogens
Eating hallway plants revitalizes you, right? But they also cause mass hallucinations. And the plants have been growing there for centuries. This explains why pretty much everyone in power in Raccoon City and Umbrella are more crazed then a starving cat dropped into a gerbil habitat. Not only that, the T-Virus was -created- from the healing plants. The plants restore life, the T-Virus gives flesh-craving life to the dead. Seriously, this is more then just epileptic trees, this makes loads of sense.
Wesker is still alive.
They Never Found the Body after dropping him inside the volcano, and the rockets seemed to have shot just past him, exploding behind him. Not to mention that it seemed like the lava was little more than a hot bath to Wesker, and he's already survived certain, confirmed death once before. If anything, the ending to RE5 is even more ambiguous as to whether or not he was actually killed.
Agent HUNK is one of the missing Wesker children.
And in the next game, we will finally get to see his face, and it will look like Wesker's.
The 'Complete Global Saturation' meme is going to get Rule 34'd.
Let me not elaborate on just how it will happen.
Wesker wants to Take Over the World
Wesker has something that lets him become super-fast, super-strong, and super-tough, and whose only distinguishing feature can be concealed by a pair of sunglasses or coloured contact lenses. It also evidently requires no more than a few weeks of incubation. However, he's eager to get his hands on the Veronica virus, which requires 15 years of cryogenic incubation to not turn the host into a feral monster.
He also goes to considerable efforts to get his hands on the Plagas. The Veronica virus and the Plagas have one thing in common - the queen unit can control all the others in some way (Plagas by ultrasonic signals, Alexia by... something). Most likely, Wesker wants to get his hands on both of these in order to infect everybody with some sort of hybrid, over which he will have complete control and thus become ruler of the world.
Wesker and Birkin just pretended to be rivals in order to prevent Marcus from getting suspicious and/or paranoid about them.
One of the diaries in Resi 0 notes that the two are very competitive, yet they seem to be perfectly willing to cooperate in containing the T-virus outbreak during the game itself, and Birkin's letter to Wesker at the end of REmake is pretty friendly. Since they apparently also cooperated on Marcus's assassination, it's apparent they intended to usurp his position from the beginning, and pretended to be rivals to prevent the idea from ever entering his mind.
The Merchant stole a shipment of weapons intended for Saddler.
Given the size and advanced technology of Saddler's facility, it's a bit suspicious that he has to rely on medieval weapons with the exception of a small number of chainsaws, miniguns, rocket launchers, and cattle prods. Ganados are clearly intelligent enough to operate modern firearms, and there's no way that what he was up to wouldn't come to the attention of the government. When the Spanish army comes to investigate, he wants some weapons.
The Merchant, on the other hand, has a massive stockpile of big guns and the devices to upgrade them. It's likely that Saddler obtained the weapons from some sort of black-market dealer, but the Merchant stole it during the delivery, intending to sell it either to Saddler or a terrorist organization such as ETA or the IRA at a profit. However, the deal went sour; luckily for the Merchant, there just happened to be an American government agent with a lot of treasure in the area.
The Merchant is Ganados v 1.0
When Las Plagas was first being experimented with, the first version made its victims invincible and free-willed. But clearly, the fact they were infected with a virus that did no favors for their complexion didn't go over too well with many of the victims, and they attacked. That's why there's a machine that removes Las Plagas, so the suckers could be killed. The Merchant was a camper from England who escaped after Saddler killed his beloved wife, Leslie, so he decided to assist anyone who came through by selling them stolen guns. He also used to work for Saddler, and thus knows many shortcuts to beat you to wherever it is you're going. He's invincible, so you can't kill him, and he planted the typewriters, and stole your dashed-off apocalypse log, later publishing them as a successful novel.
The Merchant is "That Dog."
The merchant is a shapeshifting entity, roaming the forests of Notspain, and assisting those in need. For fighting against the Plagas, he was eventually caught and imprisoned by a bear trap, in wolf form, at the beginning of the game. Along comes a friendly American, who proceeds to free him. As repayment, the Merchant conjures up a bunch of weaponry and assists said agent in his mission against the Plagas. He also assists Ada, for her helping Leon. *He was the chicken in Ada's introductory scene.*
Krauser will appear in the Darkside Chronicles.
Because dammit, he sure as hell acted like he and Leon had some backstory together in Raccoon City.
HUNK will be a main character in the next Resident Evil game
It'll start with him and his team going on a mission and will end with only him alive, just like all his other missions. After all, "The Death cannot die".
Tofu will be the next Big Bad
Zombie meat-by products anybody?
Wesker is either or has been a Player, the Composer, or a Reaper.
Obligatory link to home series
Wesker's more or less omnipotent, right? So here's what I think: he played a Game after getting speared by the Tyrant and managed to win, but made his first choice to come back as a Reaper. That means everyone in RE is dead, and Wesker's been trying to get them erased. Chris in this case would be the Composer — except he's not a jerk and wants Players to come back. So Wesker absolutely hates him for that reason; he doesn't want Players to survive. This explains why he's obsessed by RE5 — he wants the role of Composer.
Another theory is he was just a Player and came back after, no modification.
FINALLY, he could also have during his game became Composer. This explains how he knows everything- - it's all a Game and he's the one behind it. Ada Wong is his Conductor. And since Oswell E. Spencer masterminded Wesker, that makes him the Producer. Chris and the others are innocent Players. He took an extra entry fee — he took their memories (crafting new ones to replace them) and their common sense ("We're in a zombie infested mansion! Let's split up, gang!") and hence, he's just playing an overly long and drawn-out Game because he has nothing else to do aside from dominating the world, but with Chris there, he can't, thus keeping it interesting.
Leon's strength as shown in RE4 comes from the Plaga in his bloodstream, until it is removed.
He spends the whole, from very early on in the game, infected with a Plaga parasite. It explains how, after waking up from being passed out and tied up to Luis, he can kick the guy with the ax with enough strength to fly into the wall, breaking the ganado's neck in the process. It also explains how he can injure a ganado so severely with a kick, while a handgun does less damage.
Members of S.T.A.R.S are deliberately screened for T-Virus resistance
While they may become zombified after dying, the T-Virus itself doesn't actively kill them, it only activates itself upon their death. The only exception being Jill, who got a super sized Nemesis-dose of the T-Virus, and still managed to hold out for quite a while before Carlos can cook up a antidote.
Nicholai is one of two things, "dead" not being one of them...
Seeing as no matter which ending you get in 3, the other games hint that he's still out there somewhere without covering up his possible deaths, I've decided that he's probably either:
The Wesker seen in Resident Evil 5 was a clone
Wesker created an experimental clone or heavily modified another individual before the Spencer Mansion incident, in order to fake his death with a body as evidence, and the BSAA as his witness. However, the clone survived, and began to develop its own personality and goals based on Spencer's, to become a god. As RE5 progressed, it began to degenerate as it was torn between its own consciousness and that of Wesker's. Facing off against Chris (who was a major part of Wesker's memories, which may have been implanted into the clone) probably helped with this, as well as the viral overdose. Thus, at the end of Resident Evil 5, the clone's purpose has been accomplished in a roundabout and unwilling fashion, and the broken remnants of the Uroboros project and Tricell Africa can be seized by Wesker.
Wesker is really Vanilla Ice
That stuff about Uroboros and Plagas and Umbrella? It's all part of his comeback.
The Island in Resident Evil 4 is one of the smaller of the Canary Islands.
The Canary Islands may be part of Spain, but they're also off the coast of Africa. If you pay attention to the enemies, particularly J.J., you'll notice that there's a mix of Spanish and African appearances.
Leon and Ada have been in a relationship between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4.
When you play as Leon, Ada will occasionally leave letters and notes around for Leon. She seems to have kissed them. Let's Play has a walkthrough that points out that those two only knew each other for a day six years ago... Unless it was during the time-skip. It also would explain how Leon isn't going, "OMG!!!1!1! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" instead saying how he knew she was working for Wesker.
Wesker had a brother, who later became Gin.
Wesker and Gin both have blonde, evil hair; they both love the color black, they're both ruthless, etc. The creative difference between the two is Gin's hat and Wesker's sunglasses.
Wesker is suicidal in Resident Evil 5.
After years of trying to track down Ozwell Spencer, Wesker couldn't handle the revelation that he was being manipulated all along. So he cracked and, after killing Spencer, could no longer muster the will to live. Unwilling to simply stop taking doses of the virus that keeps him alive and superpowered, he decides to commit suicide by proxy, using the only man in the world he respects: Chris Redfield. He starts by faking the death of Chris's old STARS associate and current partner, Jill Valentine. Then he devises a way to control Jill and use her as a puppet against Chris. Finally, he draws Chris into his trap, with Jill as the bait. The one factor he failed to consider was Sheva, Chris's new partner, who he then tries to kill in order to inspire Chris to finish him. He fails, but still manages to get his grand final showdown with Chris. All that crap about a new world order ushered in by Uroboros was just a cover story to disguise his true intentions.
Wesker isn't really Wesker in Resi 5
Instead, "Wesker" is simply one of the other Wesker children, brainwashed into believing he's the real deal.
Leon is the victim of The Dulcinea Effect.
That would explain such romantic undertones between Leon and Ada when they honestly (canon-wise; or at least Let's Play-wise) only have seen each other a couple of times in several years.
Wesker is asexual.
I must deflate Foe Yay with logic.
During the Mansion Incident, everyone there was stoned.
It explains why Wesker was wearing his sunglasses at night (to hide the effect of the drugs on his eyes; they could've been bloodshot, for all we know). Barry appeared to be obsessed with food (Jill Sandwich). The way Jill reacts to the snake venom looks like she's also high on something (though I don't know if there is a snake venom that makes people act delirious...). Rebecca is obsessed with practicing Moonlight Sonata, though there are freaking zombies everywhere. And Chris confronting Wesker... He's laughing for no reason, like he's on weed. But, as a corollary, Wesker was coming off his high during the game, because he was able to pull off coming Back from the Dead.
Resident Evil takes place in the same universe as The X-Files.
Jill during the Mansion Incident looks like Scully at about that time in the series...
Wesker is one of the Blade Children.
Part of a group of children altered by someone with a 'vision for society': Check. Cat-slit eyes: Check. Murderous streak that prevents them from living peacefully: Check.
Sherry gets adopted by a senator...
... With her name changed to Ashley and her memories of the disaster erased, her adoptive father gets elected president. She is kidnapped by a Spanish Cult and eventually rescued by the exact same person. She subconsciously realizes that Leon has saved her before, and that is why she is so quick to hit on him at the end of the game.
The Merchant's torch is a Ganado repellent.
He never gets attacked by the things, even though he's just around the corner most of the time. What other reason can there be besides the aforementioned "he's one of them" theory? If you shoot him once, he dies like a human would (with the exception of every important character in RE). That pretty much trashes that theory... However, every time you meet him, he has the blue fire in his torch and you don't see him getting attacked by Ganados (on screen). Sure, he gets displaced in the Castle one time, but he never gets injured by the cultists. Rather, he simply moves upstairs behind a barred door while keeping the fire close to make them squirm. In conclusion, the Merchant has found a plant or chemical that, when burned, makes a smoke that repels the Ganado in the general area.
Ada in RE4 is a clone
Well, think about it. Did you guys see Ada's ending in the earlier games? She seemed very adamant that she was not going to use the name Ada Wong anymore. And yet, she was still Ada Wong when RE4 rolled around. I'm thinking the Ada in RE2, while she did as she needed to, could have been killed by Wesker because she allowed people (Leon, Ada and Sherry) to escape, leaving witnesses who could tell the government what Umbrella was doing. But at the time, he didn't have anyone better, but he didn't have the resources to make the serum that he had in RE5, so he used Ada's DNA to try and create an obedient, willing version of Ada, which is the Ada in RE4. But that Ada was still too much like the original Ada, and as soon as she was off the island and safe from the explosion, she tried to run away with the Plagas sample to stop Wesker from hurting, if anyone, Leon. However, he caught her and killed her quickly, taking the Plagas sample with him, explaining the presence of the Plagas in RE5 and the lack of Ada in the same game.
Jill has a criminal past
In SD Perry's novels, Jill's father is a thief that taught her to be the "Master of Unlocking". It's also canon that Jill was in the military prior to being in STARS, Delta Force to be exact. I theorize that Jill was caught while stealing something and, instead of being sent to prison (or Jouvie), she was enlisted in the military.
Wesker is the One and Ada is Trinity.
It would explain Wesker's outfit in 5 and Ada's outfit in 4. And, you know, all of the bullet time with them both. But that would make the series part of The Matrix...
Javier Hidalgo was possibly high
Consider the fact that during the final boss battle, Javier is laughing madly and talking of possibly "absorbing" poor Manuela into him so they can be together forever, only to suddenly ask Leon/Krauser to kill him at the end of the battle. He was on drugs up til that point, wherein the relapse occured and he wanted to die now that the high wore off.
Steve Burnside is alive.
Let's look at the facts. Steve was infected with the t-Veronica virus. Viruses cannot live and reproduce in dead tissue. The t-Veronica can also only be spread by direct injection. Yet Manuela and some of the other experiments four years later are infected with it. It wasn't Wesker or his men just taking a tissue sample or some blood and leaving his body. They took his body. (After all, the whole place is gonna blow and nobody would want to be there when it does.) They would have a several hour long trip (at least) from Antarctica to wherever their lab is. In that time, the virus would die. This troper's working theory is that Steve was just unconscious, because he's the only Tyrant ever in this series to turn back into his human form upon severe injury. Every other one dies in that form or mutates.
William Birkin is one of the Wesker Children
In the newly-released chapter of RE5, one of the files is a list of test subjects. Number Eight on that list is "William". (Warning: tl;dr incoming)
The Nemesis parasite is related to Las Plagas
Fairly simple: both are Combat Tentacles-based parasites capable of making the infectee stronger and more resistant to harm. This also provides a more gradual transition between Resident Evil 3 and 4.
The protagonists (and other survivors) of the T-virus-related games will become virus-zombies when they die
Be it from a bullet or just plain old age, eventually these people are all going to die. And when they do, they're bound to turn. The virus is spread from zombie to human through bites, as the creatures feed on a living human, after which the dead human rises as one of the undead. The protagonists, however, take dozens of bites over the course of each game, and never turn. This is because the virus' host must be either dead or near-death for it to take over. Most victims die while under attack, but the protagonists simply recover from their wounds and move on. They are infected, but not dead. The virus will remain dormant in their bodies until they finally kick the bucket. Then, it's zombie time!
The emphasis on action in RE4 and RE5 is meant to emphasize the growth of our heroes.
As the series goes on, they get more experienced with zombie fighting. So the developers give them more challenging enemies to fight.
The world's nations have all merged.
Resident Evil 4 is officially set in "Europe", despite it clearly taking place in Spain. Resident Evil 5 is set in merely "Africa", with no indication of what particular sub-Saharan country it might be (although people more knowledgeable than I may be able to draw some educated conclusions). What does this indicate? That the world's countries have all united by continent: Canada, the United States, and Mexico are no more — they're just "North America". What was once Spain is now part of the same administrative body as the former France and Portugal, in the area known only as "Europe". The same with Asia, South America, and Oceania, and of course "Africa".
Leon's pissy-ness in Degeneration is because...
His parasite's removal — In Resident Evil 4, it's stated that the surgery required to get the parasite out can damage the conciousness of the host. Maybe it screwed up his emotional state.
The voice actor, Paul Mercier, was constipated at the time — Proposed by this troper's brother. That would explain why Leon isn't pissy in Darkside Chronicles.
Leon was infected with the Veronica Virus — Javier started releasing spores in Operation: Javier...
He has to face the T and G-viruses again — They caused a lot more trouble than the Las Plagas, and taking down the viruses is his goal.
It's all just a game
Even in normal situations, Racoon City would involve a lot of puzzle solving just to get around. The mansion was built like a maze. The police station... just to get to friggin' boiler room, you need four different keys. So after the Racoon City founding fathers had all the fun building games into their buildings, they decided to implement a zombie virus just to see how much more challenging it might be. Hell, this explains the second movie, with the guy monitoring the security cameras.
Movie-Wesker is an Agent.
This has to do with him taking away Alice's psychic powers, more than anything else. Because Alice is technically canon (the games are in a different continuum than the movies, or something), he's not allowed to kill her. But he was granted special permission to alter Alice enough to avoid her from rampaging again.
The next Resident Evil game will feature 2-4-5 Trioxin
The Trioxin gas will be the cause of the next zombie outbreak.
Chris is infected with some sort of virus in Resident Evil: Revelations.
This is heavily implied in the trailer.
The White House is infested with zombies
The White House was attacked by zombies prior to Ashley's capture (clearly not Ganados, because Saddler was planning to do something like that on his own), and Ashley thinks they still might be there, which was why she was willing to pay Leon extra to exterminate them. After all, Leon's job at that point is basically running around shooting b.o.w.'s while guarding Ashley; what else would "overtime" mean?
HUNK is not the Australian that's in the chair in Revelations.
He's got a Midwestern accent in 2, Umbrella Chronicles, and Darkside Chronicles. Unless he moved to Australia for several years, I doubt his accent would change, unless he's just screwing with Chris and Jill. His hair is also a different color and style, so he either dyed his hair or it isn't HUNK in the chair.
Chris has been enhanced by the B.S.A.A.
Think about it. Chris has obviously taken SEVERAL levels in badass since we saw him last in Code: Veronica. Now, if you read some of the flavor files that you unlock as you play through Resident Evil 5, it says that Chris is their top agent, with far more successful missions than any other. The BSAA is funded by the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, a bunch of companies that are what Umbrella claimed to be: medical researchers and manufacturers. It's not that far fetched to think that they'd have a more stable version of Wesker's Super Serum. It's also not that far fetched to think that Chris may have taken it after Jill's death. This enhancement would explain punching a boulder and moving it, as well as the fact that he can use a full sized rifle-caliber minigun when all the other protagonists could only use 3-barrel baby versions. He still can't quite match Wesker's game breaker powers, but he doesn't have to inject fresh doses constantly and his sanity is intact.
In the next RE game, Tofu will be optional character.
The reason why none of main characters became infected (well from RE 1 to RE 5) is due their (natural?) immunity to virus/es.
Think about it, all of them got scratched, bitten, cut, beaten, and taken a walk/swim/run thru infected areas. And although they can get poisoned, they never show any effects of infection. This also could be the reason why plants work this way on them.
In Resident Evil: Afterlife, the Executioner Majini is Movie-Umbrella's Nemesis 2.0
The Executioner is never explained in the film, so I came up with this one myself. The Executioner and Nemesis share many characteristics — Giant T-Virus-Infected Implacable Men that don't speak, wield huge weapons, are ignored by Zombies, and were Homegrown by Umbrella. After the Nemesis failed, Umbrella reengineered the Nemesis Project as a Glass Cannon, making it faster at the cost of its endurance.
Chris, Claire, and Krauser are all infected with the t-Veronica virus.
The games state that the t-Veronica virus is highly infectious. Yet these three should be infected. (Hell, maybe even Leon should be, too.) To elaborate, Chris and Claire (and Wesker) had to deal with Alexia flinging her infected blood, yet they do not end up infected. (Maybe the combusting-on-contact-with-air kills the virus?) Claire could have possibly been poisoned by Nosferatu. Steve was also a bloody mess when he died. If Claire so much as had a papercut... Javier ends up releasing spores, which infect the surrounding environment. Krauser has a Canon open wound. You do the math.
The mansion portion of the Resident Evil: Revelations trailer is a dream.
More specifically, Jill's dream. The sequence that involves the mansion ends in Jill and Chris being swept up in water.
Every game is canon. The playable characters are all unreliable narrators
In most of the games, characters save their progress at typewriters, and presumably make note of their experiences. On top of retcons/changes from later games (R Emake, Chronicles, etc.), some games even give you a choice of your player character offering two sets of contradicting stories. (In RE 1, either Chris or Jill is kidnapped by Wesker, and either Barry or Rebecca, despite both canonically surviving the mansion incident, is never seen depending on your choice.) Nothing is truly contradicted or retconned, but instead liberties are taken by the author of whichever character's story you're reading.
The t-Veronica virus can make you really nearsighted.
Steve apparently can't recognize Claire from ten feet away after he mutates, but he can recognize her from three feet away, even when he's going on a rampage. Or, you know, maybe he needed glasses or something before and the virus just aggrivated it.
Claire omitted a bit when she told Leon what happened during the events of Code: Veronica.
That explains why Alexia kills Alfred. Alexia's high pitched voice is like nails on a chalkboard. The meeting at the end of Code Veronica X is cut to just them going back to grab Steve's body, only there's a message from Wesker, rather than the cutscene where he taunts them. That explains why the Twincest is lessened. That explains why Steve's not Canadian or annoying anymore. That explains why Claire sounds like she thinks Wesker's going to keep his word, while never actually saying it and Leon stating what Canon says right afterward.
Resident Evil 6 will be a reboot.
Because let's face it, beyond only a handful of loose threads (Steve's supposed resurrection, Wesker possibly still being alive, and Ada's final role), there's hardly much to go on. If anything, we should start back from the beginning, but with a more focused storyline and a true return to the horror of the series.
The T/G-Virus/Las Plagas/etc zombies are incredibly dense.
The zombies and characters from the Resident Evil series all follow the rules of conservation of mass. The virus/disease simply causes them to develop special organs of hyper dense tissue distributed throughout their body. This explains the vast majority of the games previously thought of as illogical. These organs are hyper efficient and versatile, allowing things like:
Umbrella knew about Las Plagas from the beginning.
During RE 4, the president of the United States is Billy Graham.
There's something wrong with Wesker's hands.
Alex Wesker will be the next antagonist.
Either Carlos Olivera or Billy Coen will appear in the next CG movie.
The true location of RE 4.
Wesker and Birkin will form a Big Bad Duumvirate in Resident Evil 6.
Where's the fun in that? Besides, I wanted these two to be partners again.
Umbrella builds many of its laboratories in the same style.
It would explain why Rebecca and Billy can visit an area that looks like the entrance of Birkin's lab in Resident Evil 0.
Jill's genetic testing (thing) RE 5 was turning her into Solid Snake.
In ''Desperate Escape'', when you play as Jill, she walks the exact same way Raiden does in Metal Gear Solid 2, has the exact same hair colour, the same outfit, just as gender confused... now since Raiden was basically wanting to be Snake, Jill is another Raiden, that is another person who did the same video game testing (which is what Wesker did to her before and during RE 5)... It changed her hair colour to make her more like Raiden. Wesker did all of that because if he had Snake on his team, he wouldn't have lost.
Johnny Bravo is a clone of Wesker
A failed clone at that, as this one was more interested in picking up chicks.
The G-Virus is shaped by emotions the same way the T-Virus was.
Wesker said in UC that "the host's mindset influences the virus". Now, this flies in the face of all real world biology, but so does everything else in the franchise. With that out of the way, let's begin.
I've been playing Darkside Chronicles recently, and fighting G when I noticed something. Birkin's initial transformation was a shambling, assymetrical abomination. However, he was still conscious in there. Remember the "SHEERRRRYYY!"? He's actively searching for his daughter, but he's completely mad by this point. I have more proof, but I'll get to that in a moment. Birkin had never been sane to begin with, but after the G-Virus injection he went nuts.
Anywho, Birkin's crazy, but he still believes the G-Virus to be the perfect weapon and the pinnacle of his work with Umbrella. Logically, we can infer that he believed anything created from it would be perfect as well. With this in mind, let's take a look at each stage.
G1 was his initial transformation, and like I said before, it was a mess. He could barely walk, his body was obviously wracked with pain, and he didn't even have any natural weapons — the intial claws he developed either degenerated or were unsatisfactory for his use. Instead, Birkin was smart enough to use that pipe, but he could still only move quite slowly towards his prey. Obviously, this is a far cry from the perfect creature Birkin envisioned. Now, applying Wesker's theory, if Birkin wanted to be a perfect creature, obviously something needed to change. This is where G2 came in.
G2 was an even more grotesque stage than G1, and also raises a couple of interesting questions. First, though, this form is far more deadly than before. It can leap great distances and finally has some natural weapons: those swordlike claws on his mutated arm. On top of this, Birkin is faster now and sneakier too. He deliberately sets up an ambush on multiple occasions in this stage and the later ones too (the cable car, the elevator, the train, and in DC, that big hub room where you fight him three times in a row) and uses his newfound leaping ability to his advantage on that elevator fight too. However he still lost, and obviously this form's assymetrical body was still incomplete and imperfect. More changes were needed.
G3 was the next stage and arguably the perfect superhuman creature Birkin hoped for. Look at it: The musculature is pristine, it's developed armor over its vulnerable midsection (something that gives it an advantage over most Tyrants), and it just looks like a finished product. Moreover, it's fully mobile now; look at the acrobatics it displays in DC! Even in the original RE 2, this form moved quickly. In stage 2, we saw Birkin's head get shoved into his chest cavity in favor of a new, mutated skull. However, he's far from stupid in G3. He's feral, but clever: he shields himself with his arms, he displays a bizarre roundhouse kick, and employs sneak attacks and various unique acrobatic movements that seem out of place on something that fiights on instinct. Also, G2 recognized Annette and didn't even attack her until she pulled a gun on him (again, DC only). This implies that Birkin's memories and intelligence were retained in the new head, which leads my to thinking that his brain was still there or that information was "copied over" so to speak. This also explains how he knew which areas to avoid when rampaging through the underground lab. Notice you don't see him in any of the poisoned rooms or the smelting areas where he could fall in and get nearly roasted alive.
Now, astute readers that have come this far through this wall of text may wonder if this convoluted theory applies to the last two stages. Many people say that G4 was a great big step backwards... but I'm not so sure about that. Birkin's become an even greater killing machine than before. His attacks can kill Leon and Claire in about two or three bites, and in DC he's fixed another flaw as well. He's developed a new long range attack: that acidic vomit akin to the G-Creatures he later spawned. Birkin even set up an ambush in this stage too. Okay, he was in stage 3.5 (notice the expanded rib cage and new head), but it still counts.
Now, for G5 and how it fits in with the "Birkin's mad idea of a perfect creature shaped this form". Actually, I think this was another intermediate stage, like that 2.5 version we saw in the cutscenes of RE 2 and the 3.5 form we fight briefly before he became G4. Birkin has been eating everything he can find; zombies, lickers, lurkers, and possibly other survivors. As result, he's evovled into a giant blob.... or a cocoon. This is pure fanwank, but he might have been trying to develop into something possibly even more powerful than before, only he got sidetracked by that explosion. He's still in there, as my signature (and more importantly the cutscenes in DC) prove; Birkin's crying out for his daughter even after becoming this abomination.
In conclusion, right up until G5, Birkin had been steadily evolving into a perfect killing machine. He's still intelligent, but he's so insane after the transformation that he's lashing out at or impregnating anything that moves. However, with each transformation, he becomes more efficient, more deadly, and more of the perfect creation Birkin may have envisioned. Wesker's theory may have some credit after all.
The merchant in RE 4 is [[Castlevania Renon . ]]
He's that demon from the early Castlevania games or at least a cheap knock off of him. He's a money demon that sells much needed supplies to hereos in conquest. Similar to Renon in [Castlevania castlevania] he seems to be of foriegn english descent,I don't know what Renon's voice sounds like but if they sound the same or at least similar that merchant is Renon. He has the ability to transport himself to any location just like Renon and he chooses places with no monsters in them just like Renon. Renon being a demon despite being a salesmen, might very like have demon eyes evidenced by him always wearing shades just like Wesker, so we never get to see what his eyes look like in there human form, but the merchants sinisterly glowing beading eyes might be what they look like. He's not wearing shades so you know this time he doesn't have normal human eyes.
The herbs in the Resident Evil video games are really medical marijuana.
I knew this when I first played the game, how else would they use them, eat them very unlikely. I thought that only trained professionale could use them until I played "outbreak" and RE 4. I don't think you make medicine out of them, and I don't think an ordinary person with no skills or training could either. In all the Resident Evil games except RE 4 when you mix herbs why are they in something that looks like marijuana paraphanilia, so you can roll it up and smoke it that's why. When you get deep in the game and see blue herbs that cure poison, you'll also wonder what kind of plant that is too. It's some super medical marijuana that cures sicknesses.
The games are just a really big film series.
Although the production history is hard to figure out...
Las plagas posses a super high body temperature.
Why else are they the same color as fire and other super heat sources on the infrarred scope(thermal imaging scope).
Resident Evil Afterlife is a giant rip off from the Resident evil 5 video game.
It really didn't bring anything new to the table if you think about it. The new plaga mouths on the dogs, Wesker's plaga mouth that he ate Bennett with as well as the giant axe wielding majini, and that mind control device that goes on women's chest was definetely taken from RE 5.
The only gun that's cannon in the video game series is the standard handgun.
You'll notice in the cutscenes especially in RE 4 and RE 5 you'll have a bunch of monster weapons but your character only uses the standard magazine pistol. Even in RE 4 when Salazar tried to kill Leon with that trap door, after he counters he symbollicly retallitates by shooting that sound horn with his STANDARD handgun, even if you have the red9 or something that doesn't look like the standard handgun Leon will still have it. Ada isn't really much of a main character and the scene where it shows her watching Leon shooting those Zealot ganados with the TMP is only filler.She's just an Unreliable Narrator unaccurately telling the player how Leon's making it through his mission .
Wesker is the Resident Evil version of the antichrist.
Super human abilities, the ability to manipulate people in the snap of a finger, extreme selfishness, his interest in politics, demonic slaves and more importantly the will to take over the world and engulf it in darkness,also that "gloabal saturaton"(engulf the world in darkness) nonsense seemed to be a plain give away. Does that not sound like the anti christ to any of you?
The Merchant is The Atoner.
Like Luis, he was once a scientist who helped Saddler in his experiments with the Plaga. Upon seeing his experiments in action, he was horrified, and decided to take matters into his own hands: by amassing a small army's worth of guns and equipment. Though he was infected with the parasite in time, he managed to suppress it, nullifying its personality-changing effects (and, incidentally, Saddler's control over him).
Who knows, he's probably engaging in a one-man guerilla war against Saddler when you're not buying things from him. If it wasn't for his efforts you'd be drowning in Ganados.
In the sequel to Resident Evil Afterlife which will most likely exist in the future anyway, Wesker will suffer severly for cannibalising Bennett.
Wesker said he needed human DNA to keep the virus in check am I right? Bennett was showing signs of infections other besides not having any zombie bite marks or scratches, this wasn't coincidental and was made apparent by Alice saying "Bennnet you don't look so good" meaning Bennett's DNA was being overshadowed by the zombie virus making him more or less not 100% human. Besides let's face it Wesker did live, I mean what else could of parachuted out of an exploding plane with no one else but Wesker in it? The tooth fairy very unlikely. Wesker will make a final return in the next or last resident evil movie sequel, this is too good to just pass up, so why not. Everyone even says that Bennett showed signs of being infected with the zombie virus so everyone knows his DNA was messed up with something freaky, and I don't mean the T-virus. That would serve Wesker right for doing something like that to his life saving comrade making it an ultimate karmic payback or even karmic death. Wesker consumed a considerable amount of zombie DNA when he killed Bennett, damn he's just as good as dead now. I don't think Wesker blew up in the plane or was affected by the explosion but he might as well had. I don't think Bennett showing signs of infection and better yet Alice commenting on it was just to prolong the movie for five seconds, I think it was a karmic trap for Wesker. Think of what Wesker did being similar to you eating infected meat.
The "man in the suit with no tie" from Sheva's dossier was Leon
He worked for the U.S. Government and seemed to have a very personal stake in seeing Umbrella brought down. Based on her given age and the RE timeline, Sheva first met the man in 2000, which was after Leon had been recruited. Sure, it's not much to go on, but why would they bother giving the guy any characterization at all if we weren't meant to recognize him? This does beg the question as to why if he served as Sheva's legal guardian, brought her to the U.S. and put her through school, she can't recall his name. But then, that's a good question no matter who the man in suit really was.
Despite Word of God Wesker is still out there.
It's canoncially stated in the game that the Wesker Chris & Sheva killed was just a clone. Nobodies perfect not even the creators of a series. They said Wesker's dead yet the so called wesker that died was just a organic drone. Why don't the creators try explaining that. Even though the mercenaries minigame is non-canon it does give you a better perception of the character's abilities. The Wesker in RE 4 punch attack can send an enemy flying through the other side of the game but a punch from that Wesker clone in RE 5 only causes an enemy to stumble back a little. Even in the RE afterlife movie Wesker seems like more speed and a little strength where he can move like a champ but his hits like a normal human. It's stated that Wesker can life hundreds and even thousands of pound so he shouldn't have a problem with smashing an enemy's skull in with one punch or kick like in RE 4. In Resident evil code veroncia(RECV) Weskers hits are painful but not deadly to chris, I don't know if he was a clone or he wasn't trying that hard so I can't say if that was the real Wesker. I believe the Wesker in RE 4 was the real one. He out of all the Wesker has real super strength and has only people working for him, even if they are traders. The real Wesker can't afford to be jeapordized in any way and is also more smarter than the clones so he chooses to stay in his own personal HQ instead of where all "the action" is like all the other Weskers. In RE 4 he had had 2 agents working for him, in RE 5 he doesn't mention not a thing about las plagas or anything about RE 4, why? Because he didn't know about it, because he wasn't there the real Wesker was.
Some Wild Mass Guessing.
In the next game Wesker will be the protagonist or at least one of the good guys some how.
We will finally learn about HUNK.
Jack Krauser will return, he can survive that barrage of bullets from Leon so it's possible from him to recover from his encounter with Ada. We the player aren't 100% sure he died, Ada doesn't know everything, so how is she so sure that he died.
Leon & Chris could team up.
The creator's will try to add a little sexyness to the new game.
Agent Bishop is one of the Wesker children.
If you think about it, he has superhuman strength, speed, and being enhanced. However, after being abducted by aliens, it is assumed that he wants nothing to do with Spencer, his creator, and this is why he changed his last name from Wesker to Bishop.
Jill will team up with Josh in Resident Evil 5.
If you think about what happened to Jill after being freed from Wesker's control, this could be her story.
Jessica shoots Parker in Revelations.
She's in the casino room, holding a smoking gun, breathing heavily. Earlier in the trailer, Jill and Parker are in the same room. And, since Jill lives given the timeline...
Sheva knows Tae Kwon Do or at least some other similar form of martial art.
Explaining why just about all of her special moves involve kicking instead of upper body action. Judging by how skilled she is with her knife she could specialize in Escrima.
HUNK is Johan Liebert.
It would appear that after leaving the hospital, Johan goes to work as a mercenary for Umbrella. Disillusioned by how they work in the use of viruses, his mind has cracked even more and he begins to wear a gas mask to hide his face and is renamed as HUNK. In that persona, he is calm, but cracked.
Resident Evil: Retribution will reveal Alice as the template
The template for what? The t-virus in the film series. In the film series, Alice has been the only one to show a successful adaptation of the T-virus, resulting in those telekinetic abilities and enhanced strength she has displayed. In fact, she was the one who caused the outbreak in the first place, so she could get the T-virus for herself, but an accident led to her losing her memories, and all her prior motivations.
