Melting Majini's/Ganado's

[REmaster]

Extreme decomposition due to parasitic interference of human tissue I suppose. I think it just adds to the creepiness of the enemies, to make them extra disgusting. I like to think that it just goes to show that these people are no longer human at all, their outer physical apperance is just a shell hiding a horrible parasite.

That's just a theory though. In the end, I suppose it doesn't really matter; everyone knows it's just a gameplay mechanic. In the old games we had a lot less enemies in one room than we do in RE5. In RE5 we're fighting vast amounts of enemies in open spaces.

I don't think they will ever offer us an explanation as to why. They should though. In the original Resident Evil games, the enemies used to just stay there until you left the room. I think it should be the same in these new games, where the enemies stay there until you enter a new area. However, with the sheer number of enemies in this game compared to RE4, regarding the feasibility of doing that, I'm not sure.

i think that with all the power of this gen, that they would be able to keep the body's there for a little while at least.

and if they can't, then an explanation is at hand because of the peculiar way they disapear.

The fact that this actually bothers people enough to ask about it boggles my mind. You might as well ask Capcom how the item boxes are able to share the same items despite being in completely different areas.

It's just a gameplay mechanic. Sheesh.

wow, don't get your panties in a knot Archelon. it's just a question, your allowed to ask questions.

i just thought that since the enemies had such and unusual way of disapearing, and that fact that RE explains things with science, that there could or should be an explaination behind it. or is it just non canon, and in canon the body's stay there?

[Agent_Wong]

Just say that the body became so depleted of nutrients and substance because of the parasite that once the parasite was killed the host body did not have enough to hold it all together and so the body just could not sustain its solidity once the host's bug was destroyed. It was basically mush at that stage.

This is probably the best most thought out, and most plausible reason I've ever heard. It really does make sense as well, the parasite uses the host as both a source of mobility and food so you would figure after awhile all that's left is junk to decay.

edit: Then the Olive comes along with a gem of a file and I somehow skimmed right past it. Nice work Cuban, very nice.

I'm not sure scientific explanations are due for a video game mechanic in almost every game ever, just because it looks different, tbh. XD; I also just find it a little ... funny that people want Capcom to explain it and then call any possible explanation they would get from Capcom crap.

You must be new to Resident Evil forums. XD

[Yzak]

Not new enough to not know what you're implying there. XD I just continue to -face at things, ONE SHOULD BE IMMUNE BY NOW but that tends to not be the case for me. XD

[Archelon]

It should also be noted that, while Cuban's explanation is nice, it fails to explain why the bodies still dissolve even when the parasite itself has been killed.

this is RE, not any random game series, in RE, we use science to explain things, that what happened in the classics anyways, this is just the same as asking how the zombies where made really, although, less important.

and knowing capcom, if they even do give us an explanation, it will probably be rather stupid, not as good as cuban olive's theory (which should be canon).

it could possibly be something like this knowing capcoms idiocy.

capcom: "the plagas was scared of Chris's arms so it ran away and melted"

and BOOM!! it's canon all of a sudden.

but i still at least want some sort of explanation for it.

^^^^^
Darn......that doesn't explain why their clothes disappear as well. I will have to think this out....or just pull a Capcom and leave it a mystery.

hmm.... i noticed that as well, what could that mean, or does the plagas disolve the clothing as well?

[missvalentine]

I edited my fake RE5 file to explain the issue regarding the clothing. Instead of posting the entire thing again, I decided to just edit the last copy.

I included that the plaga consumes the clothing of the majini like many insects and bugs do. I compared it to the clothing moth.....thank you wikipedia.....that eats through clothing for body oil and moisture.

If only Capcom could see this.....

your file is amzing cuban olive, i wonder if capcom ever saw this, that they would just steal it and copy and paste into the game.

anyways, this should be made canon, i wonder if there is any possible way, for fans to make something canon.

Sorry, RE is my favorite game series ever, so in my eyes it is a better game series than many others, but it still is a game series. With a common happening that happens in just about any other. And yes RE does explain things, but things that are actually relevant to the series, not a game mechanic. Zombies are something in the game and the story, not something that happens in the game and is a mechanic of the game.

but the way it happens is more than just a game mechanice i think, if it was a mere game mechanic, then why not just have them disapear when the camera is of them, or flicker and go, why the melting and the bubling to it, and why are Ganados red inside, and Majini's orange inside.

it's a valid question, and since i love to know all the lore about a series, i think this needs an explanation to it.

im not content with "it's just a game mechanic" the classics never had something like that, the disapeared normally when you exited them room, this is not normally, there has to be something behind it.
