Darkside Chronicles Character Discussion.

My mistake then. Watching the scene they made it look like Leon could make out the insignia while the knife was in flight.

He actually did read it in the air, he just didn't want to scare Claire with his skills.

[Archelon]

It does kind of look that way, yeah, but it was probably for the player's benefit.

[Det. Beauregard]

He looks at the knife when he pulls it out of the zombie. That's when he sees the STARS insignia.

Can a zombie choke to death?

I don't see why not apart from their lust for flesh their still human maybe they should add a halon weapon in re6

[Archelon]

Sure the scene was badass (RE4-style), but I refuse to believe that Leon was able to make out the insignia on the knife given the object's speed.

I thought it looked extremely fake. Leon's eyes tracking the knife was retarded beyond belief. The animations aren't very nice in that scene either.

I agree.

Of course, it doesn't even hold a candle to the grappling gun/Salazar's spike pit scene in RE4, so I guess I should stop complaining.

Should of hit it's throat further up that would've caused it choke to death.

He doesn't even get the knife through his head. It hits him in the chest, which begs the question, how did he die?

As for what he's holding, it's a crowbar.

You know, one of the recent previews mentioned that the game was presented as a series of flashbacks rather than one cohesive narrative. Since Leon seems to narrate at least the intro to the RE2 scenario, I wonder if the game will actually start with the Operation: Javier scenario, and then when Krauser tells Leon he wants to know everything that Leon has been through regarding BOW's and Umbrella, maybe that's when the RE2 scenario starts.

Though it wouldn't make much sense to have Leon narrate the CV scenario, so there's no telling how they might handle that. Unless he's recounting what Claire or Chris presumably told him about their exploits on Rockfort Island and then Antarctica.

Same goes for Ben Bertolucci from the looks of things.

[DarkMemories]

By being killed off like five seconds earlier than he was supposed to be?

[Vector]

Robert Kendo and his family have been done a SEVERE injustice.

As for what he's holding, it's a crowbar.

I find that rather interesting; it's probably nothing but an oversight on Cavia's part, but could we possibly experience some zombies using actual weapons (likely in the Operation Javier scenario)?

Per the following clip, it seems plausible to assume that Leon might well be the narrator for this game as Wesker was for UC. Funnily enough, it sort of lends credence to the idea that Leon is the good-guy equivalent of Wesker pre-RE5 (the guy that's always in the shadows and that seems to have a hand in multiple events throughout the series)

Yeah, I feel the same. Leon's importance keeps growing up and I won't be surprised to see Leon as the main protagonist of a "final" RE game.

The only important story arc left is the Leon/Ada plot IMO
But I don't think DSC will end that story. I see this game as a sort of prologue to RE6, just like UC was to RE5.

However, there is one thing that is bugging me : How does the theme of the "darkside" relate to Leon, assuming he's the "main character" of the game?

[Ray]

Eh, Claire has done some super-human stuff before. You know, CV/x and all.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I think the knife-throwing scene is cheesy. BadASS yes, but just... way too cheesy. Even for RE standards (well, mainly pre-RE4 standards).

Why is a zombie (a cop zombie no less) wandering around with a crowbar? The fuck Capcom haha
