Darkside Chronicles Character Discussion.

[Sly]

It's not a plothole, TALOS was just a prototype at the time. What Sergei recovered in the mansion lab was the Tyrant's body which would be later used to create TALOS. The rest of the technology was not ready yet.

[TheSelfishGene]

To be fair, T-A.L.O.S was a better design and a better concept than anything come up with in 0 and RE5 combined. At least it wasn't a giant bug or a mass of tentacles.

And it did fit the original goals of Umbrella quite well; it was basically the ideal B.O.W. to put in the battlefield.

The shit thing about TALOS was that it totally undermined the rest of Umbrellas work. If TALOS was at the Arklay facility (where??), then Wesker's "Ultimate life form" in the T-002 was already obsolete. If they had the TALOS technology in July 1998, why were the fucking around with T-002, and then making (and deploying) T-103s??

One among many many many many many many plotholes.

DSC is supposed to touch heavily on the emotional side of things, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few soap-type scenes. And if they don't cry, they can always resort to yelling out the character's name in a dramatic fashion - name a RE game that doesn't do this.

e.g.
ADA!!!
LUIS!!!
MIKE!!!
JILL!!!

JOSEPH!!!

Hilarious how he posts a picture of her in the Raccoon City sewers, though. Wtf.

When I read Steve's post on my phone, I couldn't access the tinypic URL, so I had to wait to get online and see it. I was crossing my fingers the picture would be of her ass, but oh well. Still hilarious.

[Yzak]

... God I love this so much.

[Vector]

I'm...truly...at a loss for words.

"I told you she's hot."


EDIT: And Claire fires back with a twitpic of her own!

"Steve Burnside"

[valentinesdead?]

As far as the whole Claire-Steve debate in DSC goes, looks like it's gotten a bit more interesting.





See? No tears. I can't believe it. Of course, it could be after Claire has shed some, but that pic seems to be when Chris finds her, and judging by how in CVX she is crying ridiculously at length when Chris finds her--this my friends, is indeed a good sign. (Unless of course you're for it I suppose)

And as far as pics, I spent a little time and made some comparision pics of past DSC character models versus their updated look. If anyone is interested, I'll begin to upload a couple soon to liven the debate up over here, hehe.

[Jill's Boob]

I skimmed through the rest of this thread, but I didn't see much discussion on the "darkside" theme.

I'm guessing this primarily refers to the dark sides of the Brikins, Ashfords, and Krauser. (And maybe Ada). Beyond those characters, I don't really see a chance for a dark side to be explored for Leon, Claire, Steve, etc. (It also doesn't help that this is an on-rails game, which will likely butcher the canon like UC did.)

Does anyone here think there will be any sort of character developments for the main heroes? I personally don't, as I don't even believe the dark side theme will be explored too much beyond what we have already gleaned from the previous titles.

[Darkmoon]

...Steve? Charming? I think I'm going to laugh so hard my head implodes.

Well, any good Capcom does by making Steve less of a selfish brat with out a shred of sense is gone, to make way for true but tragic looooove. In but a few hours, most of it fighting for there lives or being unconscious on a plane (and in Claire's case dangerously close to being groped) they shall, live, love and then know loss! Oh woe.

...I need more alcohol in my life.

[valentinesdead?]

Aye Aye Aye Capcom. There you go, crawling out of one hole, and into another.

[Archelon]

Steve Burnside is his name. A young punk, a bit full of himself. But he's still charming somehow.

This does not bode well.

[Dark_Chris]

A bit of a cold fish, but she'll warm up to my charm. Give her time.

LOL

[BadWolfX]

If they keep her death scene from Leon B, it's going to be an awfully awkward moment if Leon and Ada kiss with Claire and Sherry standing right there. With any luck, maybe Capcom will remove that scene entirely. Or maybe they'll go with her Leon A death scene instead.

Well there are parts where they split up aren't they? I expect that they'll split up in the labs and we get ClaireA/LeonB events.

[Becky's Butt]

Hence why i put realistic in quotes. Capcom kinda sucks at it.
And going their separate ways is boring. Just look at Degeneration for proof of it. Leon parting from Angela was painful.

[Archelon]

It's a touchign act but it's the only "realistic" ending for them and their relationship.

They could always just go their separate ways (har har) instead. I'd say that's a pretty realistic way to end it, not that Capcom and realism have ever really gone hand in hand.

[Becky's Butt]

I don't think anyone except a small minority expects Leon and Ada to settle down and raise a family. There's no doubt they have a bond and feelings for each other, Leon confirms it at the end of RE4, but given the nature of their professions, it's more than likely gonna end up with Ada dying to save him. It's a touchign act but it's the only "realistic" ending for them and their relationship.
