Do we find out much about Leon and Sherry's involvement with the US government?

Spoiler:

Unless there's a file detailing it in greater depth, we get a brief cutscene where Leon is basically told to work for the government in exchange for Sherry's safety. Nothing about where Sherry is currently, unless, as I said, there's a file about it.

Also, it appears I may have jumped the gun in my previous post.

There's at least one sub-scenario starring Krauser. Apparently, depending on how quickly you kill the final boss, you can get one of two possible endings. I got the "bad" ending the first time, because it took so long to kill the boss. I played through it a second time and got the "good" ending for defeating it much quicker.

If you get the bad ending, you get a message saying you need to work a little harder to open the darkside. You unlock the sub-scenario by getting the good ending. The scenario itself is basically the last two chapters of Operation: Javier again, only this time you get to hear Krauser's thoughts as you play through it.

I haven't beaten it yet, because I think it may be set on Hard difficulty by default. I'm getting my butt kicked hardcore, and I was able to breeze through the last two chapters earlier playing on Normal. I imagine, however, that this will fill in the missing cutscene slots in the Archives section. So far the cutscenes are the same, but, as I said, you hear Krauser's thoughts during them.

Spoiler:

Basically, he wanted, at least initially, to cure his wife and daughter of a fatal disease. All other possible treatments failed, so he got in contact with an Umbrella researcher and used the T-Virus, and when that failed, the T-Veronica Virus, as treatment.

When he saw what the viruses could do, he used them to increase his power in the region and extend his influence over the country.

Archelon: and who was this Umbrella researcher?? Wesker or some no name character??
Is story in Operation Javier closed or was there any hint on RE6??

Some no name character. You find his corpse, but that's it. As for any hints to RE6, I'll have to get back to you on that once I've beaten Krauser's sub-scenario.

lol So this game follows a good old RE tradition of bringing more questions then answers with each installment. And I'm sure files will explain something.

[Dark_Chris]

hmm now when I think about it, how could some Umbrella researcher had T-Veronica virus???.....

RE5 makes clear that Wesker sold different viruses to different companies to get $, so he could fund Uroboros research. Tricell has T-veronica too. I mean he could be from some other company, not Umbrella, but they thought he was. Or perhaps he is one of the scientists who worked in Antarctic base with Alexia on T-veronica? She didn't work alone, it's not possible. There were other scientists. Maybe he's one of em. But how careless they must be if one of the scientists can steal such an important virus. And why'd he wait for 4 years to sell it? Perhaps he was afraid to sell it while Umbrella is at large, cuz if they found out he'd be dead... And when it dissolved he got courage. Or he could be one of Wesker's men, selling viruses to earn $ for Wesker, pretending to be from Umbrella to get more "respect" from potential virus buyers. I guess they are files that explain it.

But how careless they must be if one of the scientists can steal such an important virus.

Seeing how Alexia and Alfred (or every other Umbrella scientists and employee, or people working with Umbrella) leave all important notes (be it about family secrets, virus researches or just notes about taking over the world) on night tables or other places where everyone can just simply slip in and read it, I wouldn't say they care about security too much.

Not to mention, it wouldn't be the first time an Umbrella employee manages to steal important virus from Umbrella - let's not forget about Morpheus, who, when he stole the virus wasn't even Umbrella employee any more.

This game's storyline sounds like a complete waste of time. A complete cluster-fuck.

The files better make up for this. What a waste.

lol and we hoped to get some answers.

I am halfway into the game and is starting Code: Veronica scenario soon...one of my theories actually came true (regarding Manuela).

the game structure goes like this:

Javier Operation Part 1 -> RE2 -> Javier Operation Part 2 -> Code: Veronica -> Javier Operation 3 (end?)

[BadWolfX]

Urgh, the Code: Veronica scenario sounds totally and utterly fucked up. That's a huge disappointment.



What is the Resident Evil 2 scenario like?

What is the Resident Evil 2 scenario like?

I've been watching it on youtube and it looks GREAT, really great!!

[BadWolfX]

Oh thank god, at least one of them is fine then.

How do they work the A/B scenarios? Is it just melded into one big one or do the characters split up?
