can we see some ingame screenshots of that outfit(and the battlesuit) please
whered you get that picture anyway?

[Jill's Boob]

I scanned that image from my pal's RE5 strategy guide. As for ingame screenshots...you'll have to ask A-J or one of those other tech savvy folks. It took me like 30 minutes just to work my scanner. I am, how do you say, technologically inept...

But the BSAA Jill "figure" is pretty awesome too. That's the best bet for BSAA Jill screencaps. (As the other parts of the game featuring BSAA Jill just show her getting bitchslapped by Wesker.)

[adamb1029]

or are in mercs..but thats not really usefull either
Jill is probably the most confident and capable female video game character i have ever seen/played as though.
and ive played alot of games with female characters

[A-J]

i'm not tech savvy at all lol, i'm just a level 50 sage of the google searches :p

here's some ..

[Jill's Boob]

Yeah I like Jill too, just not as much as some people.

I still stand by my assessment that BSAA Jill is a weakling in Mercs. I mean, her weaponry is pretty weak and I get my lowest scores with her. So maybe I should just say "she's MY weakest character" since some people think that my opinion is just to incite Jill fanatics. ;)

[adamb1029]

im a Jill fanatic..
but i dont come off as one verry much do i?
still the only female video game characters i think i can safely compare to Jill are bloodrayne(but her games are basicaly a softcore porno)and Jennifer Mui from Playground of destruction/world in flames

Her RE3 look is disturbing, as she looks emaciated and dressed like she scores smack with her body. I really hate the RE3 art design. WTF is wrong with her jaw bone?! Her head looks like an alien with brown hair.

You bring up an interesting point which is one thing I hate about Capcom. The fact that when they make a game, they make 3-4 separate and different looking models for every goddamn character for that game. If you take RE3 for example, first they make the ingame model. (strangely, even though it has the least detail of the 3 versions, it's by far the most realistic and "attractive" one.)





Then they make the model for the CGI cutscenes, which in this case looks like a mutant ginger.



But not content with that, then they go and make the model for promotional material, which is the one Jill's Boob posted, to be used on covers and that kind of thing, including:



I could understand their reasoning I guess, since CGI Jill isn't very presentable. But promotional Jill isn't any better. I especially don't get the promotional models for RECV, though.

Ingame models look fine. We're doing good so far.





CGI models looked great for its time.






Then, the fucking awful promotional material models again.




Thankfully, they've reached a level of character detail in RE5 where they don't have to rely on that kind of thing anymore.

I didn't like Chris's GCI model in CV. What is with his hair, most people think her looks asian.

[Jill's Boob]

Yeah, RECV has not aged well. As for RE2 & RE3...their cutscenes (to me) are uglier than the ingame models. I don't know how to explain that other than to say the CG models look like animated mannequins.

As for the CG RECV Chris...he looks like a Korean pop star. Yikes!

[adamb1029]

Yikes indeed

Definately. RE2 is even worse than RE3 in this aspect. I think at the time CGI cutscenes were just so goddamn hightech and exciting you didn't really care, you were just amazed by the technology.

As for the CG RECV Chris...he looks like a Korean pop star. Yikes!

And his original Dreamcast model had even spikier hair. I played that version, and it was just so shocking since his CGI clone only showed up at the very end of the game.

Thankfully, they've reached a level of character detail in RE5 where they don't have to rely on that kind of thing anymore.

They've already did this with REmake and RE4 - in-game models, maybe only adjusted here and there, were used for advertising too, and CGI models (from REmake) were very similar to the in-game ones.

But then comes RE Zero... where Rebecca, in the game itself, has three different models (one in-game and two different ones for CGI), and the fourth model for promo material.

[adamb1029]

honestly as much of "fanservice" and "for males" as Jill's RE3 outfit was i saw ALOT of women dressed like that back then where i lived,and thank god that process is over,i was under the impression REmakes in game models WERE its CGI models.

[missvalentine]

There's that too but then again Barry was in his 50's and they might come up with some BS excuse to keep her(Jill) young(just look at Nina/Anna from Tekken)

well since Jill in mercs has no scar on her chest, im beting if she appears again we will be told her aging has slowed down due to some magical virus.

^I think "missvalentine" will thoroughly enjoy that picture if she's never seen it before.

i love the picture, her face looks so pretty.

But the BSAA Jill "figure" is pretty awesome too. That's the best bet for BSAA Jill screencaps. (As the other parts of the game featuring BSAA Jill just show her getting bitchslapped by Wesker.)

so there is a BSAA Jill model? i have 5 more to get. a 25 emblem one, two 30 emblem ones, and the A and S ranking on all levels ones. im guessing Jill BSAA is the hardest?

i disagree, my highest score ever in mercs was wen i was playing as Jill battle suit, and i can get some pretty high score with Jill BSAA as well. plus her melee moves make it so fun.

also im slightly bothered that instead of putting Barry in mercs, they had 2 Weskers and gave Wesker a magnum instead of poor forgotten Barry.

No, she's the second to last one to unlock.

It probably helps that you use Jill 99% of the time, am I right? And I still think BSAA Jill has the worst weapons load...but I bet even if all she had was a handful of rocks, you'd still use her...
