RE4 vs. RE5: Voice-Acting

[Becky's Butt]

Well I'm pretty sure Temp or someone over at reHorror mentioned RE4 was covered in Archives 2.

Also, on the note of UC's canoncity, that's hazy. I take it Umbrella's End and Death's Door and all teh new scenarios are firmly canon but I'm reluctant to say its cliffnotes version of RE0, 1 and 3 are more canon than the games. Especially since all those scenarios were worse than the games by like, a lot.

[Mr_Zombie]

Archives 2? Was there anything like that?
Also, you can't say that something is canon depending whether it was covered in Archives or not. There's no mention of any Survivor character or monster in Archives, yet we all know that the game is canon.

[Becky's Butt]

I have no idea. I just heard about it. i figured it was an updated version of the original Archives.

As for me saying things are canon based on the Archives, I was simply citing a source. Example: RE0 says Survivor was canon.
Nothing else does.
No game says Dead Aim was canon. if the Archives mentioned it, it would be.
See what I'm saying?

It's questionable to use Archives as back up for your argument considering Archives and the information in it is questionable itself. Archives was written by Brady Games, not Capcom and is full of mistakes. Dead Aim IS canon. Archives only goes into the main games and not the offshoots. (CVX is a main game, it continues the main story arch). That's like saying I should change my username to "Alexia Ashcroft" just because Archives misspells her name, therefore CVX isn't canon.

It also mentions on one page that Rebecca is dead. And if someone's only source for information is a single book that we can't confirm yet if its been updated or not, then I think the argument is rather weak.

[Mr_Zombie]

Archives was written by BradyGames? Wasn't only the English version translated and published by them and the original, Japanese, version written by Capcom?

[Sina]

What question? To prove that it isn't canon? I can't. No more than i can prove God doesn't exist.
It's your duty to prove it is canon and that God does exist. Though I'll give you a pass on the second because I believe He does.
I can't prove a negative.

There's nothing to suggest Dead Aim isn't canon, nomather how bad it is, just like there's nothing in the natural world to suggest one of the thousands of manmade gods exists, so the rational answer would be that "He" does not, and that Dead Aim is canon. 0 for 2.

Anyway, again you're pointing out the cheesyness of Dead Aim while fully embracing RE4 as a literary masterpiece. But nevermind. All I got out of this conversation were headaches. You love Steve Burnside's rich character and Leon's witty one-liners. I guess that's just the person you are, so I don't really want to talk to you anymore. Leave it at that?

much like RE4's script and the work of Shakespeare.

If Dead Aim is canon, can we still ignore its events as much as we like? D=
I used to think that some of the stuff in that game was quite rediculous , even for an RE (Chinese satellite laser of death), but then...RE5 included things like that =O

But as for the topic itself (lol this has had quite a few new tangents),

RE5's acting feels more natural than RE4's although RE4's was well-acted for such stupid dialogue.

Gotta say, the guy who does Chris is the best Chris yet. It's like...I can't find anything wrong with this guy. When he yells out "NO!" after Spoiler:

show spoiler

he goes to save Sheva from falling out of the plane

that had to be like the best "No" in animation recording history. Yes, small stuff like that =O

But at the end of the day, both these games (and all RE's together) have provided us with much memorable lines, and I can now use them myself for world domination. The plan is in its final stages. Saturation, ect.

Oh! Rosetta, is your avatar Diana from Rule of Rose? How coincidential I just watched that game out of curiosity =D

Just because it's "filler" doesn't mean it didn't happen, and that's where the root of this ridiculous argument is. "I don't like this, so it's not canon." A lot of people have the same feelings about UC. Fact is, when spin-offs are made, there are gonna be questions into what's canon or not. All we have to go on is what Capcom officials have to say about what's canonical and what is not.

Until we're told otherwise, Outbreak, Umbrella Chronicles, Dead Aim and other spin-offs are canon. I'm not sure if any of these were confirmed or unconfirmed, I'm just listing the spin-offs I can think of.

who said that i was starting a argument?

[Vector]

who said that i was starting a argument?

No one did, because I wasn't referring to you. I was talking about Nikkolas arguing that Dead Aim is not canon.

[Becky's Butt]

The Dead Aim argument is over. I said from the start that I didn't want to think about that godawful abomination and I was forced to for many posts. It's canon. Just let me forget about the game in peace.

umbrella Chronicles Is not a cannon Red stupid queen was not in the any Cannon-games umbrella Chronicles was a game If you never play any Re-games is a short story to with some movie stuff in it thats its just people to get in to the Re-games. and CV-Gun survivor 2 was a Random game & outbreak 1-2 are just side story filler as again for us to more of Resident evil with online play.
& people bought it . but oh well who cares. btw people ive posted some cool pics from last year anime con its awa-08 so check them out! in my profile

[REmaster]

I agree with the fact that Dead Aim is canon until proven otherwise, but jeez I dislike that game. Terrible voice acting...sends chills up my spine whenever I hear Bruce say "monsters", and it's also not a good sign when they are designing the tyrant and one guy says..."hey, what if we made Marcus into a girl tyrant", and the response is, "why not?" lol. I gritted my teeth and beat it though, then quickly put it in it's case where it will stay...sealed away with it's evil essence for all eternity, on my shelf

Like it or not, UC was canon; at least Umbrella's End and Dark Legacy scenarios were - the mission in Russia was mentioned in the History of Resident Evil file in RE5.
