Is there any proof Rebecca survived...

[Cheeb]

I don't think she was ever shown to be one of the ones that wanted to continue to fight against the wrongs of Umbrella. The aftermath of the mansion incident really portrayed her to be lucky to be alive rather then willing to fight. Chris on the other hand, you can pretty much see the look on his face in the helicopter ride back and Jill no doubt felt the same way after dealing with the people in RC who would rather cover it up then do anything about it.

I just got the impression that Rebecca just stayed out of the way and went about her life as best she could. I still would of liked to know the fate of Billy Coen though.

Yeah, I think you're right about the lucky to be alive part. She did her part in helping, but character-wise, she relied on others a lot to get her through. I'd think she'd be the type too to go on with her life and let someone else fight the good fight.

...But I take it with a pinch of salt.

And that's exatly what you should do when it comes to Japanese stuff...

Becca was becoming less and less useful for the plot... I bet she's dead along with poor Barry... I don't care about Rebecca's wannabe, but BARRY! Good Ol' Baryy!

Proof Rebecca survived...let's see, you can save her in both RE1 & REmake. Even REUC goes to show that Rebecca survived (and Barry's life is accounted for in the text files you find).

Rebecca got her own game in RE0, got extra appearances in RIchard's levels in REUC, and then there's this nugget:

"In the special features for Resident Evil Degeneration, one of the games producers talks about how he thinks fans would like to know what happened with Rebecca next, hinting that the next CGI Resident Evil film (if they make it) could be about Rebecca's story."

Stop acting like Rebecca doesn't get her due.

Her "cult hero' status is funny to me. She was a simple partner character in RE1; one that is unbelievably farfetched (an 18-year-old girl who has completed both medical school AND advanced law enforcement training?!) and she probably was never meant for anything more than her simple role in RE1. Yet she's gotten a lot more.

Do most of you even know that the characters of Rebecca and Barry were initially meant to be a small, timid man (became Becky) and a large, jive-talking cyborg (became Barry)? I'm totally serious.

EDIT: Here's the proper info...
"Two characters appeared in an early draft of the game's storyline as Jill's and Chris's supporting characters. Gelzer, a muscular Caucasian man with a cybernetic eye who was scheduled to hold an entire roof up at one point of the game, and Dewey, a thin African American man modeled after Eddie Murphy who would've served as the comic relief. In the finished version of the game, these two were replaced by Barry and Rebecca respectively. The name Dewey was then used for an unrelated member of S.T.A.R.S."

Tell me that she won't be featured in the next CGI movie... that would be crap!
Barry should have his own CGI movie... I would like one movie with all STARS members... a GCI movie with Rebecca would be boring for me, I personally think that he meant that Rebecca would be just mentioned in it... not featured . Either way, Rebecca sucks (?!)

J-K

What would that be? Beccaminados? lol that sounds weird...

[Jill's Boob]

I like Rebecca and Barry, I just don't understand how people elevate the two to such high regards. They're sidekicks.

[Jill Lover]

No doubt that Rebecca and Barry are sidekicks, but Barry couldn't get his own game, they tried to make Rebecca a popular character (they failed with RE0) I would really like to play as Barry some time... but this is just wishful thinking... he should be as unlockable character in Mercenaries mode. I'm of those who think that Rebecca's personality is clear dumbass.. she's just the medicine member of the group, no offense.

And your point is...?

Rebecca sucks

Oh, I see now.

[Cheeb]

Everyone is entitled to their own view about the characters. Even if one person thinks she should just be a minor character and left as that, there are still those who do like her and want to see her again in some form.

I don't really think anyone has been excessively moaning that she hasn't been given her dues - its all just opinions and fans having wishful thoughts. No matter what they are considered as, there will still be those who like them and want to talk about them. As with any character, no matter how big or small. They may not be at the forefront of the attention like other characters eg. Wesker, Chris, Jill etc... but they will still be held in high regards by the people who did enjoy their time in the game. I really don't see a problem with people just getting together and feeling that way, even if the characters never get any game attention again. With no side of the discussion being right over the other, we're just talking as fans do. They're 'cult', to say, to those who support them. Same with any character.

^First you tell me that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and then later you imply that people who pine for Rebecca are more entitled to their opinions than say, someone who thinks Rebecca gets enough praise as it is.

Whatever. I was merely trying to offer a different point of view, but since I don't have Rebecca as my avatar, I should just shut up I suppose. Shame on me for being excited to see other characters again...ones that haven't been in a game as recent as Rebecca's time in RE0.

I think it's fine to be anxious to know exactly what happened to her, or to like her & Barry, I simply just think differently on the two. I was hardly being derogatory to the characters or their fan bases. Just trying to be logical about they're origins.

I didn't imply anything. I simply said that there maybe those who want to talk about those characters. There is no right or wrong side to the discussion. I didn't mean for or want an arguement. I was defending the side who may view the character with the idea of wanting them back in the spotlight. Nothing wrong with disagreeing at all, never meant that in any way to be interpreted.

And I don't see what my avatar has to do with anything.

[Jill's Boob]

It's cool. I never wanted to argue, I was just trying to logically look at the situation concerning "cult hero" characters like Barry/Rebecca.

And what I meant from referring to your avatar is that you are obviously a Rebecca fan. That's all I was trying to imply. I also think it's great for people to talk about Rebecca. She is a good character and thus has fans.

I was really hoping REUC or Degeneration were going to give the fans some answers on Barry or Rebecca. Alas they did not.

I just choose to see the two as sidekick characters who aren't that integral to the overall story. Will that change? Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. I do like hearing different views on characters. We all have our passions and opinions. Yeah, I'm a fan of Rebecca, and I was annoyed about REUC not mentioning what happened to her, and Barry. And like you said, who knows whether we'll ever know what will happen to them.

I guess I misunderstood initially what you meant by the sidekick remark. I see what you mean now. Opps, Hehe.

That's actually a good point. Something like Degeneration was a great chance to display characters like Barry, Rebecca, Carlos, Nicholai, et cetera, because it seems like they've been swept under the bed otherwise. I doubt they'll get any face time in a game for a while, because, frankly, it wouldn't make too much sense at this point.

Honestly, I wouldn't reject a new CG movie. Starring one to two of those old side characters? Why not.

I think they have made the best choices with the characters in the order of the games. It would be hard to try and justify some of the side characters turning up unless they had a really good reason. But they just don't need to. I might want to see Rebecca again in a game, but I wouldn't want to just throw her in for the sake of it. But a CGI movie with her in might be interesting if it ties up the loose ends.
