"It Could Be Worse" Thread

I always figured that the "mystery organization s" Ada mentions became tricell when Capcom finally thought of a name for it

Yes, that's a theory. "S = Seashell = Tricell." Nothing's been confirmed yet...no one knows for sure. The only thing we have to go on with that theory is in one of the scripts for Degeneration, Tricell is mentioned as Seashell, or vice versa. I can't remember.

Ada's report in the ps2/wii version (the one on wesker). Also, the ending of seperate Ways.

I always figured that the "mystery organization s" Ada mentions became tricell when Capcom finally thought of a name for it, and after finding out about Ada's betrayal, Wesker just used Excella to get the sample he wanted. Either that or the plagas sample came from Irving in a black markets deal. Ada and the mystery corporation, as well as the whereabouts of Sherry and Steve (or his corpse at least) are the biggest plot holes right now.

Ah, I see. I only played the gamecube version of RE4.

I was really disappointed they didn't culminate the T, G, and T-veronica viruses into the storyline of RE5.

God... lets all just start a petition for Capcom to apologize and announce the story of RE5 as not-canon.

Either that or start RE6 as Jill waking up from a dream. "Chris, i had a terrible dream... there were these things called Plagas, and an evil midget named Salazar... and we finally killed Wesker".

"Oh Jill, you and your imagination. That would NEVER happen. Come on lets go kill some zombies!"

I think the story is amazing, personally. They worked so well with it.

Ada wasn't working for "S".

ON TOPIC:

How could RE5 be worse? If Barry Burton appeared and was killed by psychotic Jill.
I can imagine her words: "HERE'S YOUR JILL SANDWICH, BITCH!!!!" hahahaha

LOL! I think I would take back everything I said about RE5 having a bad story if that actually happened. That would totally redeem it. XD

Ada was working for the same 'Agency' or 'Organization' that Wesker was working for. HCF is what I think it's called. Behind the 'Organization's back Wesker started working with Corporation S (now theorized to be TriCell).

**As it was stated in RE5, Wesker approached Excella with an abundant amount of information of the T-Virus, G-Virus, and Plagas. Excella took that information to the head-honchos at TriCell and they gave her the position of CEO over the African branch of TriCell.**

The 'Organization' got wind of this and told Ada to pretend to work for Wesker, but after the mission to send him a fake Plagas sample, and give them the real one.

Where Wesker got a Plagas sample? That was not explained.

Black market perhaps.

[A-J]

i bet excella had something to do with it .

Ada wasn't working for "S".

Umm...I never said she was. The person I quoted did.

For my "it could be worse" idea, instead of fighting wesker at the end, the final boss is replaced by a parasite controlled Leon with his partner in dialogue crimes, Barry Burton. They were both captured by Wesker by using both a can of string cheese and piece of paper supposedly containing Ada's phone number. The fight can only be won by pressing the context sensitive controls in time in order to dodge Barry's Beard and cut Leon's hair (the source of his power) once and for all. Also, steve shows up at the end, takes off his shirt, and proceeds to have a girly slap fight with Wesker until he dies while Chris and Sheva make out to cheesy rock music. Jill becomes a sandwhich. Yeah... that would be worse.

EDIT: Also, I didn't mean to imply from my post that Ada was working for S (maybe tricell), only that she was working for some "mystery organization". I realize my wording was a bit confusing though since both corporations are technically a mystery to me. I can make theories though.

Sorry, misquote.

[BLSR1]

i bet excella had something to do with it .

No. Wesker was the one who gave her Plagas.

[XRebirthX]

Hmm. That's true BLSR1. Or at least I know that he gave her the data anyway.

I started thinking about it and maybe the plagas sample Excella received is the indeed the one that Ada gave Wesker after all. I mean, she did send him a sample of something. Maybe Wesker was too dumb to notice that it wasn't the real deal, or perhaps there's a larger plot going on (maybe wesker knew what the sample was before he gave it to excella... there was that viral thing before the game coming out that said that "wesker is a liar") and Tricell was fooled by Ada and this other organization that she belongs to. *shrugs* I don't want to derail the thread or anything but I just thought of that and wanted to share. heh.

WE DON'T NEED ANY OF THE OLD CHARACTERS.

The current RE story arc is DEAD.


Its time to get a fresh start. Time for a new T-Virus outbreak. Time to go back to survival horror.

I agree heartily with this. RE5 did a good enough job of trying to tie up the seriously convoluted RE plots...but the storyline just became a real mess after the simplicity of RE1 and RE2.

[ValentineKnight]

true but the characters pretty much made RE I mean when people hear RE now they mostly think of one of the following:
1. Zombies
2. Leon
3. Nemesis
4. Jill
5. Wesker
6. ...Alice
So I don't see how we'll not see mention of them again

[Sina]

With Wesker gone, there are no antagonists left.... there's no way they could do that. I think they made the rockets miss purposely to make the outcome ambiguous. Anyway, its just a theory. I know its kind of a stretch.... but the story has become so over the top that it's probably not an impossibility.

What's all this about the rockets missing Wesker? When I first played that scene I giggled like an idiot because I percieved it as the rockets hitting him in the face, taking his head clean off before exploding. The whole point of that would be to say, look, his head exploded and then his body was drowned in an explosion of lava. Wesker is gone.

I was kinda bummed when he died, but it really was his time to go. They couldn't have done much more with him as an antagonist and they couldn't have done much more with him as a character without causing the series to stagnate. But honestly, as much as I liked him, Wesker was never that great a character to begin with. We love him because he's been there from the start and he's steadily grown as a character, and grown on us, but nostalgia asside, he's essentially a badguy with slicked back hair who wears sunglasses for christ sake. It's a pretty elementary character. Don't get me wrong, I think he was great in RE5, but that's after 10 years of story trying to get him to that place.

No more antagonists? What, they can't write new antagonists or something? After RE1's pretty simple plot, they came up with some great characters like William Birkin, Brian Irons, Alexia and alfred... Hell, as silly as RE4's story was, the idea of parasites controlling humans was a good idea. Now that they're more or less free from the storyarc of Umbrella and Wesker, they can come up with something new and devote the entire story around it. I don't think they'll get rid of the main characters. I don't see why they would.

And I'm hopping on the "RE5's story was good" train aswell. I don't get where the outrage is coming from, especially when RE5 followed RE4, which had a complete clusterfuck of a story. The RE storyline was an entangled mess, but they managed to tie up most of it well and gave it a satisfactory ending, which I think was impressive. And Spencer's and Wesker's motivations in RE5 fitted with the motivations they had for the rest of the series, so I don't see how anyone could be suprised with Wesker's plot.
