Well the T-078 is only referred to by that name because "078" was on the capsule it was contained in. It was always the production number rather than model number. Nice to finally have some confirmation on it, even if it is Archives info.

What about the audio files that apparently explain plot details? What are they and do they actually explain anything at all?

I think they're just voice clips, not files, but I haven't unlocked a single one yet. I'm starting to wonder if I have to play through on either Easy or Hard to unlock them, because one of the reviews I read said you have to play through the game on all of the difficulties to unlock everything.

A couple questions:

- How many additional weapons (aside from the handgun, shotgun, sub-machine gun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, bowgun, magnum, linear launcher, and grenades) are there? Am I missing any?
- Can you unlock infinite ammo by getting an S rank on all chapters on hard difficulty? If so, can you get the linear launcher to use whenever you want?
- How do you get the second (good) ending to Operation Javier?
- How do you unlock the additional chapters in Operation Javier?

1) Those are all of the weapons in the game. Or rather, those are all the weapons you get as you progress through the game normally. I don't know if there are any secret or hidden weapons that you can unlock.

2) I have no idea if you can unlock infinite ammo or not. I've only played through the game on Normal, and I haven't even gotten all S ranks in that yet. As for the Linear Launcher, it looks like you can only use that during the Alexia boss fight.

3) You have to beat the final boss fairly quickly.

What Leon yells every time Manuela uses her powers should give you some indication, as he gets more and more desperate the longer the battle takes and the more times she uses her powers, because she's losing more and more blood each time.

4) You unlock the additional chapters by getting the good ending in Operation: Javier.

Hey, are the files as shrt as they were in UC? I mean, compared to the ones in RE5... though maybe that is to much, since RE5's files are really long (wich is great!)

Unfortunately, on average, the files are MUCH shorter than RE5's, and shorter than UC's, too. But there's cool "figures" of ALL the enemies and most of the major characters in the game that you can rotate and zoom in on (kinda like RE4's and RE5's figures).

What about the audio files that apparently explain plot details? What are they and do they actually explain anything at all?

Not sure, as I've yet to get any of the voice files. Can you get them just by getting the little Umbrella emblems found in the stages?

[Archelon]

I'm probably going to start a Hard difficulty playthrough today or tomorrow, just to see if I unlock anything by playing through the game that way. I still haven't unlocked all of the alternate costumes, either. I've got Krauser and Leon's RE4 outfits and Chris' alternate costume, as well, but that's it.

Cool, wich is it???

Anyone played 2-player yet? I'm interested in this game and a Wii in general so I can play with my family, so I'm curious to know if it's a fun 2-player game. Also, is it easy for non-gamers to play or is the shaky camera a big problem?

[ValentineLover]

How is the last bossfight and the endings? Does Manuela re-sing her song?

Yes. In fact I''ve died several times from that.

Spoiler:

Great, bues she still looks like a flower in that stage? Talking about that, Looks like now Progenitor is the dominant virus in the mix

RE DSC Tweeter party is closed... Finally. Last posts imply Leon wants Manuela to be his new love interest. Or that he is actually gay. "Delicate girl... Most beautiful young girl ever... Angelic girl..." And crap like that.

Maybe a gay pedo?

I preffer RE5 files to the RE4 pathetic files, they were so cheap

I like that one and it also fits CV

I really hope that it does unlock something, you know, In UC you got the Deaths Door by finishing Raccoon Destruction with a A or a S

I unlocked one of the voice files. They aren't just voice clips, as I originally suspected. And you unlock them the same way you do anything else in the Archives section, by finding the little Umbrella symbols hidden in the stages. It doesn't matter which difficulty you're playing on, apparently.

Anyway, the one I found is the first one in Operation: Javier, entitled "Communication from Krauser 1" in which he reports in to an Ingrid Hannah before meeting up with Leon. It sounds like it might be the same voice actress who did Ingrid Hunnigan in RE4 and Degeneration, except she might be trying to sound younger. I could be wrong, and it could be someone else entirely.

I guess this means Ingrid got married between the events of Operation: Javier and RE4? I can't imagine it being a different character with the name Ingrid.

So far the only things I've unlocked by playing on Hard are Trophies.

It takes some getting used to with the shaky camera, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun.

My guess would be they simply screwed up and called her Hannah instead of Hunnigan. If Ingrid was married, I'm sure she would have mentioned it when she turned Leon down in RE4.

I've finished RE2's bit..and I must say...some parts are downright laughable. The Leon/Ada thing...oh my god. That was just...absolutely terrible. They hardly exchange ten words but they seem to be head over heels. I had really hoped Capcom would have changed that but...meh.

Annette I thought was done well...Sherry too. I found the end when they were off the train to be the best part so far.

Right now though...I'm stopping for a bit to play some Assassins Creed 2. I'll play a bit more tonight...I'm hoping O:J turns out better than I think it will.

I managed to see it, It was really SAD, poor Sherry

I don't have the game yet (fucking game retailers), but I have seen the ending to the RE2 scenario, and the way Sherry cried made my stomach twist. It sounded so real.

I have a few questions:

Was Annette any different?

Did the game showcase all of Birkin's/G's forms?

Albinoids?

Was the Nosferatu fight the same? Differences?

Why did Alexia Spoiler:

kill Alfred the way she did, unlike the original?

So, Manuela was Spoiler:

infected with the T-veronica virus, which made her bleed fire like Alexia?

yes it was so...dammit I cant explain it but it just made me drop tears. But I didnt understood what Leon said to make her cry

Annette was very different. In RE2 she was protective of William; in DSC, she wants to destroy him and put an end to the G-virus.

All five of Birkin's G forms are present.

No albinoids.

The Nosferatu fight was very different; it wasn't on the helipad at all (but still outside). Overall, I thought the fight was pretty cool, although the ending is kinda cheesy.
