So with Revelations 2 having the return of Claire and Barry -officially-

Clearly Seven will have the return of Rebecca... right?

This is an outrage against Luminara!

I've been playing the HD port of REmake since Friday (when I've had the chance - still only up to the first save room).

Still trying to decide whether or not to ditch the pistol in favour of the shotgun (since I can't really carry two weapons at once).

Well, once you get a decent amount of shotgun ammo, ditch the pistol and aim upwards. It works wonders on zombies

Although whether this will help for the Remake as it did for the original I'm not sure

[up][up] No one can seem to decide What Happened to the Mouse?. Back in the day fans saw her as The Scrappy and were pushing for her to be a spy for Wesker (the photo in his desk, her appearing as with Umbrella thanks to the reuse of models with no context.) A couple of play guides, including one by Capcom apparently suggests she died, but thus far no official word. You get more from the novels, as one reviewer put it she Took a Level in Badass to become a mix of Dana Scully and Lara Croft.

A couple of hints at something official such as the third CG film finally revealing something have turned up, but thus far we are going to have to wait. Best answer is what we already know...she survived, even if that should be impossible, and has disappeared. My guess? Claire works for Terra Save. This may well be the best place for her, and we might find out something when the next game comes out.

I really wouldn't bring up the novels between the Author's living vicariously through Rebecca and well Trent sets EVERYTHING up.

Rebecca has been stated to have survived the Mansion with everybody else for a long time -IE she couldn't file a report in RE 2 -N64 version 1999/200- about closing Billy's case.

YMMV of course, the dialogue and writing is better than the first game, and the stories that don't revolve around her are quite faithful. I liked how Ada flirting with Leon and Ada's thoughts on his reaction, and the bit at the start of Nemesis.

Fun fact, Perry had to write how the novels were her interpretation as, if you read President Evil's FAQ on the series, after the first few novels the games were almost written to disprove them.

First time playing through the first Resident Evil as Jill. I didn't realize her scenario had so much stuff in it. I should have done hard mode with her.

Damn it, I was trying to go for the under three hours achievement on the HD R Emake, or at least the under five hours achievement, but I beat it (as Chris on normal mode) at five hours and fifty three minutes. You really have to plan that out.

Once you know the best strategies to kill the bosses and know what zombie to kill and how to properly dodge most enemies it becomes really easy getting most achievements.

Out of interest, what's the general Fan Nickname for the HD port? HDmake? REmaster? Re-REmake?

I think fans haven't agreed on how to call it yet since a lot of people still call it differently, but i think RE-make HD is the one that makes most sense IMHO.

It follows straight on from 5 (with all three stories happening at roughly the same time), 15 years after the events of the first three games.

[up] I meant in-game, as in, whose scenario comes first, Chris, Leon, or Jake?

There's a lot of overlap, and they all end roughly simultaneously, but Chris and Jake's campaigns start (or flashback, in Chris' case) about six months before Leon's.

I was playing the Xbone version of the remake last night, and I had one major gripe - what kind of allegedly SWAT-team like outfit only carries one goddamn magazine of ammo on a mission?

I was under the impression they either dropped most of their equipment or left it in the helicopter (don't worry, Brad gets what's coming to him in the sequels) and used up most of their spare ammo while they were being chased by the zombie dogs.

Then again, how much spare ammo do SWAT teams carry?

Here's the thing:

At the time STARS went into the Arklay Mountains, they only knew they were going after a group of cannibal murderers, and in Alpha's case, were also just looking for their Bravo pals and came fairly but lightly armed because they didn't once expect the hellish level of resistance they ended up getting. Joseph Frost's shotgun, along with probably Forest's grenade launcher, was probably for breaching purposes. They didn't know what to expect in other words. If they knew there were Zombies and Monsters(tm) then they probably would be armed to the damn teeth

Plus, well, Albert Umbrella-Spy Wesker. He was on their team as the Alpha captain and probably made sure they weren't so well prepared.

Still, a SWAT team analogue would usually have at least a few spare mags. And they were investigating the disappearance of another team of SWAT team equivalents. That in and of itself would warrant caution and preparation, i.e extra ammo.

And if they left their shit in the chopper, well then they are just stupid. From what I gather, the STARS team is about as competent as Mr. Bean.

Well...okay I got nothing, they are pretty dumb. I mean, the amount of times they split up in that damn house! Wesker was lucky at least one of them made it to the Tyrant otherwise all that planning woudl be wasted.

And if the plan was to test the BO Ws against them, why not make sure they were at their best? Otherwise the data would be useless.

I never really understood the whole "combat data" thing. Was it just tied to the Tyrant or were the Hunters part of this odd program too?

And what would it entail anyway? Tyrants and Hunters don't know much combat skills other than "slash shit with claws"
