Resident Evil 5- 360/PS3

[Harsin]

If they do have a flashback gameplay sequence it will have to incorporate the co-op.

Re: Wesker..he was just a bonus character in RE4, in CV you see his eyes are a funny colour under his glasses, and he can move across a room in an instant (with shadow trails).

[___]

Really? Dodging bullets and doing Kung Fu and shit? CV is the only RE game I havent played. He seemed pretty normal in RE4.

Have you played Umbrella Chronicles? It explains why he's far from normal.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

It would be fine if anything else in the RE series could do that (instant teleportation or whatever), but since most of the enemies are just shambling messes, behemoths armed with rocked launchers or pulsating things with too many eyes, it doesn't really fit.

Hopefully he will have some excellent, krauser-esque, quotes, though.

I've just starting reading the Umbrella Chronicles 'files' to get some background on thing, after insin's post.

I can't believe how the outbreak happened

People don't seriously think the story in the Resi games is good, do they? I mean, I like Wekser, the crazy variants of enemies the virus can make, Leon's one liners, etc.. but sheesh, this stuff is pantomime quality.

I wasn't counting Umbrella Chronicles as a proper RE game, but no i havent played it.

If you search around, you'll find people who take it very seriously indeed. Mentals, one and all.

Yes

Like this mentalist - 12,000 line document with a complete Resi "plot analysis"

[Harsin]

Just how many mansions did Umbrella own anyway?

Spencer Mansion

Leech-bloke Mansion

Mansion on Secret Island

Recreated Spencer Mansion in the Middle of Arctic Secret Base

Raccoon City Police Station was mansion in all but name as well.

Have I missed any, I haven't played most of the spin-offs?

[Smitty]

Heaven forbid people show some enthusiasm.

I for one love the Resi bonkers storyline, overblown dialogue, cheesy characters and web of intrigue.

[Harsin]

Heaven forbid people show some enthusiasm.

There's entusiasm and then there's writing 98,000+ words on the plot of Resident Evil.

[robdood]

Oh I didn't mean to write it off completely, I still find it totally compelling I'm still reading the UC stuff now!

[Puck]

On the Jill front, I just watched the extended TGS trailer and saw a miniscule flash of a Jill Gravestone at 04.51. Old news, but I hadn't noticed it before

I hadn't seen beaky woman before this trailer either which is why my money is on them being one and the same.

Beaky woman has appeared in one previous trailer.

Check out gametrailers, she does kicking and flipping and shit.

[R0b]

Why do you guys think that it could be Jill? Is she some kind of baddie then?

[Puck]

Beaky woman has appeared in one previous trailer.

Ah, I see. Well she does feature quite prominently in this latest one and what with her features being masked and also remembering the speculation caused by an even earlier trailer in which Wesker talks to Chris about his partner being here I still reckon it's Jill.

Or Ada.

Soon find out; release is not actually that far away any more.

[Joyrex-J9]

The 'beaky woman' will turn out to be Lisa Trevor

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I really hope barry's in this.

There aren't sufficient fat, bearded men in the recent RE games.

Hmm, whether or not to mildly spoiler ... hmm...

[Steven]

The 'beaky woman' will turn out to be Lisa Stansfield

Fact.

'Beaky woman' will be Barry, post-op.

[squirtle]

Beaky woman... How old is Sherry Birkin now in the timeline? Old enough to be her?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

She'll be as old as the storyline requires her to be, assuming she's even in it.

[angel]

shed be about 25 but long forgotten i imagine

[squirtle]

shed be about 25 but long forgotten i imagine

25? Are you sure? She was only about 10 at most in RE2 and that was in 1998. She can't be more than 20.

[Timmo]

And only a page ago everyone was mocking people for looking into the story too much...

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Hopefully wesker will just babble on about combat data, or something, and then it will all be ok.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

also i specifically remember her age in RE2 being given as 12.

Blah blah blah B.O.W.s blah blah blah B.O.W.s <insane boss>

[Big_H]

Source?

I'd call bullshit on that.

Almost.

'Bullshit' is quite harsh but I did misread the press release this morning.

Heres what I got

"Capcom is pleased to confirm that PlayStation 3 owners will be able to experience ...blah blah... the demo offers three levels of co-op play: single-player with AI support, two-player split-screen on a single PS3 and two-player across PSN."

It's three levels of playing the actual levels. Sorry about that. Was a little bleary eyed when I got into work.

As you were.
