RE5 : Weskers death

[Jill's Boob]

Yeah, Stu, you are right about Wesker's appearances being minimal...but he's been in the background (and sometimes foreground), really, of every game.

RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3, RECV, RE4, REUC, RE5.

Wesker is the embodiment of evil in the series. I just don't know how long Capcom can keep riding the Umbrella/Wesker pony. Fans were pretty upset when they strayed from it in RE4...but seriously, 7 games (8 with RE4) is a long haul.

And Chris will only get older. He HAS to be the one to kill Wesker. I think it's time. Might as well send both out on a high note.

*Unfortunately, once Chris is gone, RE hero gets shifted to the ultimate douche...he of the emo-hair fop.

*shudders* That will be a dark day for all of us.

Yeah Chris will get older...but there's nothing stopping Capcom setting future games in a close proximity to the game preceding it...RE1, 2 and 3 for instance. Of course Wesker is the embodiment of evil for the series...who's going to take over if he's taken out in RE5 now we know Spencer is dead as well?

That's great from someone whining about people not posting anything constructive in another thread.

Dude, I'm not gonna get into it with you, so stop trying.

No, you're right. They could make future games closer in timeframe. But I just don't know how far they can possibly drag out the Chris -vs- Wesker thing. (Chris is my favorite character in the series, so obviously I don't want to see him retire, per se, but I've been waiting since 1996 for some resolution to his character.)

As for who would take over the nefarious plans if Wesker, Spencer, and Umbrella are all kaput? Any pharmaceutical company could take over, or any megalomaniacal nutjob with bioterrorism aspirations. (As long as it is not a Spanish cult leader with a penchant for kidnapping teenaged blondes.)

There's nothing to get into at all, i'm just pointing out the hypocritical nature of your post that's all

As scared as i am of the recurring MGS4 elements...Snaker vs whoever the hell the bad guy was meant to be in Metal Gear is a great example of how a blood fued can be stretched out.

You've made a great counterpoint though. Capcom tried to bring in a new face of evil but look how it went for them. Getting rid of Wesker puts us in that position with absolutely no way of turning back.

I can't be the only one who wants Wesker to fight on right into the last game of the series?

Oh, I definitely don't wanna see him put down. I started the thread based purely on my take of various comments and teases. I'm genuinely surprised by how many people think he's too long in the tooth.

For me, part of Resident Evil's charm is it's somewhat cheesiness. When a series starts with a 'master of unlocking', and follows a virus that is capable of completely different affects (so the G-Virus made Wesker in to superman, yet caused Birkin to turn in to a monster turd, and causes plants to come to life, and moths to grow super huge, and...), it's impossible not to see things in a comic book way.

Umbrella Chronicles was pure fan service, which is why Wesker was given hosting duties. Which is why he was included in Code Veronica in the first place.

I'm hoping Capcom don't bump him off, though the feud with Chris needs to come to some sort of a close.

Maybe Chris could die. That'd set Claire up for a return in the sequel.

Maybe Chris will be left to think he's killed Wesker, as to allow Wesker to work in the shadows again (as he does in 2 and 4).

Maybe Chris will exclaim "yo weskerz i haz buffed meself ups 4 uuuz how bouts we gets it onz", and they'll have bullet time man love...maybe.

Anyway, I for one love how they're portraying Weskers abilities in 5. I think some people get to caught up in the pretend science, what with all the "wows he iz strongaz and gettins mor powaful over da yearz wen wil itz ends". His character has always been that he thinks he's best. The him wanting to be a God thing is just a Bond villain-esque way of describing his intentions. And him 'teleporting' about is simply a style choice based on japanese horror films, just as how his agility was originally portrayed in a matrix way.

The way he battles Chris makes him seem no more powerful to me than when they fought in Code Veronica. He's always been quick and powerful, but now we're seeing it in realtime, as opposed to the slow-mo stylings of Code Veronica.

Sorry, I went off on one there...

I think things in the RE universe need to be wrapped up and one of those things has to be Wesker dieing. I always thought that Ada would kinda take his place as the lead villian in the series but I'm not sure where they are going with her.

I think the series should end with Wesker's death, and that should come in 5. Ada, though highly mysterious and certainly not leading heroine material, would not make a good mastermind villain. Wesker was the first villain and had the strongest ties to Umbrella and the viruses. I'm certain at this point in the game's timeline that it really doesn't matter, but recycling the same "Villain wants to take over the world with ____ (virus, parasite, death ray, etc)" would utterly kill the series. And if they've already shown the possibilty they may be killing off characters, who else from the old games do they plan on using? Keep bringing Chris, Claire, and Leon back? How many times will we see them fight the same fight?

Wesker's death was great! Did you see how much he bled?!
And yet... somehow he was ret-conned back into the story.

I don't know what's more amazing. In a CODE: Veronica meeting, someone said "Hey let's bring Wesker back!", or that someone said "Hey! That's a good idea!".

His revival makes dozens of plot holes, and is really convoluted.
IF Wesker was to die again (though death is hardly a permanent thing in Resident Evil), what has he achieved between CODE: Veronica, and RE5?
He's amassed a stockpile of bio-weapons, but he's done NOTHING with them, with is one of the reasons I find Wesker really frustrating. I find the series is pretty much walking on the spot now. There's a climax in sight, but I don't think it's getting any closer.

I seriously doubt he will die in RE5. His revival allowed him to become the main antagonist of the series, rather then Umbrella. Because I guess eventually Umbrella had to die. I don't think the Wesker thing is stale yet, but personally I don't like it all that much.
I think the end of RE5 will be just like every episode of Inspector Gadget.
Wesker getting away, and Chris yelling "I'll get you next time Gadget!".
I think there will be another installment or two, before it's gotten old, and then Wesker may be offed.

I predict Chris will save Sheva and die, Wesker will escape, somehow chris will be going through a light tunnel... catch a glimpse of jill as she is there, heaven... them he´lll be brought back with some supa-virus by Ada´s Organization.
Hunk will find out spencer is his father and that wesker killed him and will go on a hunt... By the time RE 6 starts you´ll have both Hunt and Chris going about with one single goal, and it will be: rip wesker´s silly ass into a million pieces

I just hope there isn't another ridiculous addon of Hunk ¬¬

[Vector]

Hunk in RE5: Mercenaries would be so damn bad-ass.




Only thing more bad-ass than this? Multiplayer Mercenaries.
