Resident Evil

Hell, I still wanna see Rebecca come back and not in movie form.

I want a Jill / Claire team up.

Throw in Rebecca to while we're at it.

Also, one more issue: Sherry sure needs to be saved a lot in 6. I really do think some game developers can't help but turn any so called Action Girl into a Damsel in Distress.

Fortunately, there are plenty of other women in the series who make up for this time.

I think Sherry gets that "needs to be saved" card to justify having Jake as her partner and bond together.

I still want a game with Billy and what he's been up to since 0.

Hell, what about Carlos?

They can have a team up along with Sheva as the one-off game characters.

Billy, Carlos and Sheva: STARS Omega team.

EDIT: Or should that be Zulu team? I'm not clear on how STARS named its teams.

Well the Firestorm comics had a STARS Charlie team so I guess standard NATO.

I know from the books stars is a world worldwide organization run by umbrella.

STARS in the games is just Racoon City's SWAT team.

BSAA is a global organization funded by corporations.

I don't think so. Supplementary materials mentioned that Raccoon City was being attacked by terrorists. Part of Mayor Michael Warren's "Bright Raccoon 21" was to combat terrorism, and with Umbrella funding (this is where Albert Wesker came in), STARS was created. Although under the Raccoon Police Department, STARS recruited people like US Air Force-turned-drifter Chris Redfield and Child Prodigy-in-medicine-at-eighteen Rebecca Chambers.

As to why it had to be small, before the mention of supposed cannibalism cases around the Arklay Mountains, most likely terrorists took advantage of how Raccoon City was urbanized, which had STARS be small for faster response.

Leon sees Ada again during the last battle with Simmons and while protecting her he says, "If you're the real Ada, you'll pull through" or something like that. And don't forget the "Happy Birthday Ada" tape he saw earlier in his campaign.

I actually found Piers to be the least likable of the three new characters because of how he treated Chris and worsened the man's PTSD. And then had the gall to call out Chris when he was only ever in that position because of Piers.

By and large tho that sounds like STARS really is just a local police group. I mean yeah lots of funding but still largely localised within Raccoon. I mean its not exactly like Interpol or the Maverick Hunters even if they're big guys.

What I wanna know is how loyal Chris was to have an entire new combat vest with STARS branding on the back of it for Code Veronica. I mean not just a commemorative patch or something but big—ass logo on the back. Leftover prototype combat jacket? Maybe it was better than the fishing vest he had in RE 1?

They've got the BSAA that's basically STARS international

Has there ever been a Resident Evil that has you start before the disaster of the week occurred?

6?

Closest other thing i can think of is the chapter you play as Zoe Baker but that takes place after another incident.

Figured as much. I kinda want an RE game where you start out as another normal daily routine and then shit goes down.

So was watching a video about how the remake of the original Resident Evil was remake done right (and got my first look at the original opening in all its horrible horrible but still kinda wondrous cheese) and something hit me:

Did Wesker have a plan for...not dying?

I mean, his entire scheme would have fallen apart if he'd gotten caught by the Zombie dogs right at the beginning. He even saves Jill and Chris in the opening of the remake despite that actually going against his overall plan.

I mean, what? Did he just assume he's too badass to be maul by mutant dogs? He was technically right, but that was a very very huge assumption.

Hell, his plan should have been return to the chopper and tell Brad to fly off instead of stick with everyone and risk getting Zombie chomped. At least you can rely on Brad to ditch everyone and get the duck out of fodge. In fact, if Brad had kept up with that, he'd have been better off.

Well, Wesker is dead now, so I guess it doesn't matter.

But now I know what the next RE game should be:

The completely illogical return of the Chickenheart. Yes, we need someone like Brad, only for the entire game. Thrill to them wetting themselves constantly as they survive unending Zombie horror.

That'll get new fans.

Didn't he get killed off in 3, though (as in, he was shown as a zombie and everything after Nemesis was done with him)?

Yes. But that's what unknown relatives and expies are for.

I kinda wish Brad did survive. He'd have been a very different character from the other Stars members...or even the well trained and experienced civilians like Jill.

So I know someone asked what would happen if Jack and Mr. X fought, but what about Jack and Brikin?

Wesker's job was to lure the STARS there to obtain combat data, amongst other objectives that needed to be handled in person. If his only goal was killing STARS, he could have shot them all the second they touched down, then piloted back to the city to make up a story.

Wesker intended to disappear and go work for a rival of Umbrella. To do that, he needed to wipe out evidence of his work for Umbrella and preferably fake his death; and provide said competitor with a full batch of Umbrella's research, including combat data and biological samples. That meant he had to leave the STARS alive at least long enough to engage the Hunters and record it, since they were the only marketable BOW he would have access to, after TALOS was removed from the facility.

To wit, once he breaks line of sight with STARS he runs around the mansion; collecting data, destroying records of himself, and starts working his way to the lab to get access to the data there and release the Hunters. However, there are a lot of locked doors and BO Ws out and about; so Wesker remains reasonably helpful until he gets to the guardhouse. Around that time, Wesker decides to thin the herd, blackmailing Barry to lead his teammates into traps. Once he gets into the lab and releases the Hunters, all bets are off.

TL;DR? Yeah, Wesker was plenty confident and arrogant enough to believe he could fight his way into the lab by himself, get what he needed, torch the facility and make his getaway, either on foot or via Brad while leaving the STARS to be killed.

Makes sense.

Everyone who knows they are fighting Zombies seems confident enough to run around without full body armour to protect from bites.

Not that that would help with the more powerful mutants, but still, people still seem to go in incredibly unprepared. Even Chris and he knows he's going into Zombie infested war zones.

I'm genuinely surprised all of the former main characters don't wear some kind of heavy bite proof clothing 24/7 with some of the shit they deal with at the most unexpected moments.

Have you seen Leon in the movies? There's one scene where his response to seeing a tyrant approaching was to pull out his knife. This is a full fledged Mr. X type tyrant and he pulls out ~five inches of sharp steel as if to say, "I got this." These people don't feel fear anymore.

If you're talking about Damnation, that's after he'd used up all the other weapons at his disposal if I recall.

That includes a Tank, and Buddy, the dude who could control Lickers (though they were only good for a distraction at best).

Leon wasn't planning to fight it with a knife, he was just trying not to go out as a complete punk since he likely knew how fucked he was.
