- Every character after Time Crisis 1 has a "Combat Prescience" item, and use it to know which shots are going to connect.
- Why are lots of mooks given gas masks? Even though VSSE agents don't wear those, mooks never use chemical weapons, indicating that at least some of the mooks may be non-human and use the gas masks to not attract too much attention from "aware" people. Also, why do their bodies disappear mere seconds after they die? Mooks are from the Shadow!
- Speaking about the mooks, who uses axes aside from Dwarves and Orcs?
- The big muscular dumb guy from Time Crisis 4 part 2-3? Look how ugly he is and how much of a brute he is. He's obviously an Orc! Who thought that recruiting so many orcs into a special battalion was a good idea anyways?
- The red mooks who always hit with their 1st shot? Totally using a True Strike spell. Which only makes one shot accurate.
- Also, VSSE agents are able to take down a tank with a handgun. That would require the Speed Demon "Hit the weak spot" ability.
- Speaking about VSSE agents, it's obvious that they have the Evasion talent from the Fast Hero basic class.
- Wild Dog replaced his arm with an Arm Cannon, which does not fits at first, until you remember about Golemtech from Cyberscape. Also, he dies in every Time Crisis episode ever, but has spare bodies he can hop into. Also, he is a Tough hero/thrasher with the "Remain Conscious" talent. No wonder he can soak up so many bullets!
Conclusion: VSSE is a division of the Department-7.
The locations for the first three Time Crisis games are set in fictional locations so it could be possibly that these locations might end up being placed in Strangereal. Lukano and Zagorias would be in Usea, while Sercia and Caruba are placed nearby the Kingdom of Sapin. Wild Dog has his headquarters set in Belka. Let's not forget that Wild Dog is the founder of A World With No Boundaries organization before the Belkan War.
- Jossed for 3, there is a world map in the news scenes.
In Time Crisis 4, the VSSE's involvement was leaked to the Hamlin Battalion, allowing them to ambush the agents at the airport. It is likely that Wild Dog, who was working for the Battalion at the time gave them the information.
Who better to leak information about the VSSE's involvement than someone within the VSSE? Perhaps the information leak was actually a subtle bit of foreshadowing that someone within the agency is selling VSSE intelligence to enemy organisations. After the events of Time Crisis 4, an audit was conducted to find out who caused the leak, thus setting off the plot of Time Crisis 5.
Wild Dog always seems to kill himself. And then appears in the next game. It is likely that there are clones of him that replace him in every game to fool the VSSE. With aging characteristics. And that the arm cannon was a deliberate attachment.
Why would Wild Dog be making a robot army in Project Titan? Simple: he'd rather not go through blowing himself up again, and instead uses perfected versions of the robots he designed to do his bidding, using a self-destruct mechanism to keep the designs a secret. Each one is based on what he looks like at the time which he deploys it, so he looks to have aged in each encounter, and is directly-controlled somehow to make full use of his skills from battle after battle. Wild Fang on the other hand, seems to be the only flesh-and-blood protege of his, seeing as only Wild Dog blew himself up in 3...
It makes sense in context. Because he survives all his bullets and explosions. So it must make sense that he is genetically modified.
Given the above theories that the first three Time Crisis games are set in Strangereal, the Wild Dog in 4, which is set in Real Life United States, could not be the same person as the Strangereal Wild Dog.
The obvious piece here is that he's played by a different voice actor not even trying to match his previous vocal style and doesn't look much like his previous counterpart. He's got the sunglasses, a similarly aged appearance, and a prosthetic arm, but not a whole lot else in common. Given that it's an obvious alias already, it's likely the original Wild Dog died, retired, or was otherwise replaced and someone else is using the same code name.
In Time Crisis 4 Wild Fang landed on a launching UCAV when he is knocked out by Rush. It is likely that he was impaled by the impact and died. So he will probably not appear in Time Crisis 5.
- Jossed, he turns up in True Mastermind Edition. Though unless he appears in Time Crisis 6, he could be dead for good this time.
In-Universe.It's possible. He was a former IRA member, so his attack on Garland Square is justified. His father In-Universe and In real life was Prime Minister of Ireland. And he opposed his father. Which is the reason why he joined the IRA.
In Razing Storm, one of the agents is called Agent Miller. Either he is Richard Miller or the son of Richard Miller. Or a massive fan of Richard Miller. Or someone who shares the surname.
Some new teaser images for Time Crisis 5 have been released. Wild Dog is still alive (although it was obvious) and it looks like this game will be the truth, as new screenshots show him (or Wild Fang, it is unclear) as the final boss. In a Jeep. Also, an edition will be called True Mastermind. And shows A man in a camouflage suit with a Katana. It also makes sense as next year will be Time Crisis's 20th anniversary. Plus 5 is a round number. Therefore it should be about the truth. And then a new pentalogy will begin.
- Jossed; Time Crisis 5 is about a hunt for a traitor within the VSSE. True Mastermind Edition refers to the reveal of said traitor's identity.
It will expand on Keith Martin's journey to find the VSSE traitor and clear his name as well as Robert Baxter's motivations for betraying the VSSE. In a Crisis Zone fashion.
- URDA will return, and Robert will secretly be its leader before its second disbandment.
- Additionally, there will be an extra campaign that focuses on Robert's Start of Darkness during the 18-year gap between the second and fifth games.
His sister or cousin, perhaps?
First, Kantaris does not die in Project Titan, but can die in the Special Mission. Second, Richard Miller is shown to be driving the same red car in the end of Project Titan as the car that he arrives in at the start of the Special Mission.
- Unlikely, since the intro briefing of the Special Mission notes that the VSSE has no intel on Kantaris at all, not even a name or gender. It also specifically mentions that Kantaris is Wild Dog's arms supplier. On the other hand, Project Titan just mentions Kantaris without any further details, implying that Richard should be familiar with Kantaris by now and not need further clarification.
- Jossed according to https://www.bandainamcoent.co.jp/cs/list/timecrisis-pt/chars/02.html . While Miller destroyed the hotel and arms factory operation, Kantaris escaped before Project Titan.
- That does mean Wild Dog is presumably Belkan, and Kantaris also sells weapons to Osea, Usea, Yuktobania, Emmeria, Estovakia and other countries and organizations?
- He would fire a jetpack or a rocket to create explosions to fool the VSSE agents out.
- Time Crisis 6 will likely be a Grand Finale for the series, as Time Crisis 5 has yet to make the jump to consoles and Namco could give the series one last chance through a grand finale TC 6, followed by spin-off games and maybe a remake of the early games if it does well.
- The game would have Richard Miller as Player 1, with another returning protagonist (potentially Alan Dunaway) as Player 2. The One-Man Army is on the verge of retirement from VSSE but he and his veteran agent partner are given one last mission to eliminate Wild Dog once and for all.
- Richard Miller only agrees to take a partner since he is older now and feels a partner will make his last mission for VSSE go more smoothly.
- The game would revisit a setting from the previous games at least once before moving onto a new location.
- Alternatively, the setting will be revisited during the final chapter, potentially being the ruins of Sherudo's Castle from the first Time Crisis.
- The main villains would be Kantaris and Wild Dog, wrapping up the last loose end from the early games.
- Wild Fang would be the second boss, with the first boss being a ninja similar to Moz and Randy Garrett from the previous games, if not either of the two outright.
- Kantaris would be the penultimate boss and might get betrayed by Wild Dog shortly after her defeat.
- The final boss would be Wild Dog, just like in the first game. It'll start out with him being a Flunky Boss sending in the surviving members of his Wild Dogs mercenary outfit, utilising the various cybernetic arm-mounted weapons & gadgets he's accumulated over the years. The final stage of the fight will have him return to using dual Mausers as in the first game.
- Once the fight is concluded, he'll attempt his usual escape via explosion... only to have his signature detonator shot out of his hand by Richard, destroying it in the process. With no way to escape, he accepts his true death and is quickly gunned down by Richard (and his partner).
