RE Revelations 2 TGS footage

[atlier00]

Yes and no. News Bot will probably explain it better than me, but if Alex turns out to be a woman it will be fine regarding what is known of her.

It can't be anyone else than Alex Wesker. Okabe said that the character was "very important in the RE universe". Considering Alex Wesker has strong ties with Spencer and Albert, it is indeed an important character.

All the others you mentionned above are 1) dead 2) not important. Christine Henri also doesn't seem to be an important character.

However, I agree that the woman in white and sunglasses may be her. It really stands out in the teaser.

How is she "not important" to the series? She sent Hunk to retrieve the G-Virus! That alone had a huge impact on the series.

She may not be most important at the moment, but REV 2 is also a side game. Why would they throw Alex Wesker in anything other than RE 7? I get he/she has the connection to Umbrella and Spencer through Project W, but I don't really get the connection of Claire and Terrasave.

This is Capcom however...so anything is possible. It could be either of them at this point.

[News Bot]

It's Christine Henry or Alex Wesker. I'm leaning towards the latter. The island and its former Soviet owners lines up with Spencer's Memoirs. It's also stated in Archives II that Alex doesn't have the "neo-human" desire of Albert, so it's easier to imagine her plain experimenting. I can't really imagine how Henry would work in the current story. Her role in the drama album was for Umbrella, but they're gone now. I don't see her having any other ambition.

It could be Jenny K. They've certainly brought back characters that didn't even have names (Adam Benford and Derek C. Simmons). But I doubt it since she's not very important at all.

As for why Claire was chosen, perhaps she was kidnapped because she's the only survivor who isn't part of an elite group? Easier to attack an NGO's party than an air force base.

Maybe Alex and Jenny K. are working together lol.


As for Christine, she was a Director for an Umbrella facility. If Claire broke into her facility in CV, maybe Christine was canned by the higher ups for letting this college girl wreak havoc on it, when security should have had it handled? That could be a motive for her. Maybe she is off doing her own experiments, since the Afflicted aren't virus related(according to Capcom)?

Claire, in part, destroyed her career and the company she worked for. Taking down Claire and TerraSave would make sense at that point plot wise.

Like I said though, guess we'll find out next year. It could very well be Alex Wesker as well.

[News Bot]

Christine's facility was an underground laboratory beneath her family castle. It's not the same as the Paris Laboratory in CV.

[Grem]

I should add that if the woman in the teaser is indeed the antagonist, the sunglasses may be a hint at someone related to Wesker.

atlier : Christine is far less important than someone like Alex Wesker. I mean, Alex Wesker assisted Spencer in the Wesker children program. He/She was also given the task to create an immortality virus for Spencer. Alex Wesker knew every little secrets of Umbrella and had a strong role in Spencer's plans. He/She is VERY important to the series universe, just like Okabe said.

Christine Henri, what influence on the series did she had aside from assigning a mission to Hunk ?

[Wrathborne]

I'd rather it was Christine Henri myself, I prefer Capcom go back to using former Umbrella employees on the run or maintaining their own little organizations. But the Wesker family does seem to prefer wearing shades :/

Christine was the Umbrella executive in charge of the G-virus before and after it was recovered. Her laboratory was where William and Annette conducted development on the virus after transferring from the Arklay Laboratory and before the underground laboratory in Raccoon City finished construction. We never did see what happened to G in Umbrella aside from its miniscule role in GS4. Claire has a lot more connection to G in general than Alex, not that a connection is necessary.

The difference is that Alex has a reason to wear them. Albert wore them "to mask his emotions", or in other words, just because.

Was that info from the radio drama? If so, I thought it was non canon to the game series? Capcom could have completely changed her for new purposes.


Grem: If we go by that logic though, that makes Jenny K. just as important. She did have that "rare level 10 security clearance", Same as Spencer.

Cool. I would like to see this expanded upon in a game, but I can honestly say that at this point they would probably like to introduce Alex Wesker as a character in the the game, as opposed to just being mentioned.

[djepic112]

Oh, Alex Wesker being female would be a really cool twist. RE deserves a new ruthless villian to take Albert's place. Unfortunately we can be sure that it won't happen in this game since the characters are throwaways for the Revelations subseries.

[Kei_M]

I really don't think we'll be seeing Christine Henri.
Her mention was an ex-file wasn't it? I believe the file mentioning Stone-Ville was too. The vibe I always got was that those files were meant to specifically connect to the Drama Albums - which came out a little before the Japanese release of the 64 version.

The drama albums are canon to an extent. The actual events in them are not, but the characters and pre-album settings exist within the game universe. They diverge after BIO2, but anything that took place before BIO2 took place within the game universe.

She is mentioned in Darkside Chronicles and Archives II. She is of even more importance than Adam Benford and Derek C. Simmons were, considering they weren't even named before they turned up in BIO6 after briefly appearing in the BIO3 epilogues.

[TheBatMan]

I don't really see why people are saying its Christine Henri. She's not even important. She's a former exec of a company that went bust seven years ago from the time of Revelations 2 and initiated a recovery mission for the G-Virus six years before that even. She has precisely ZERO importance to future story lines.

Capcom have said its a known character that is very important. Christine Henri does not fit that profile.

Good lord the official english translation is awful lol. I knew there were errors, but I didn't realize how bad they were. I just rechecked my copy of Archives II and noticed the spelling errors for her name(at least she is in it though).

Not totally sure about that. I don't know if we can count this as canon but in UC we can see that the sunglasses are property of the Umbrella Corporation. Maybe all the Wesker's children were given shades because Spencer knew that their eyes would be altered later by the virus. But that's just a guess.

It's also funny to know that Patrick, Spencer's butler, saw Albert without sunglasses. Maybe Wesker didn't have his shades since the beginning. Who knows ?

Grem: If we go by that logic though, that makes Jenny K. just as important. She did have that "rare level 10 security clearance", Same as Spencer.

No, we know nothing about Jenny K. Just two lines : her whereabouts are unknown.
Whereas Alex, we know from several files that he/she monitored Albert, helped Spencer to create a virus and that the latter trusted him/her and so on.

You really can't compare the two. Alex has been established to be featured in an upcoming entry, it's very obvious.
