The REAL "Nemesis Report"

[Guest]

Oh sorry about that, forgot to say haha. Its from the "Inside of Biohazard: The Darkside Chronicles" timeline.

I bet it was written by a Karitajian employee, so it seems like it was just a typo.

Very interesting, News Bot. Thanks for posting.

Found another timeline on the official series site.

May 10: At Umbrella's private industrial waste disposal facility, the waste to be disposed of by far exceeds the processing quantity, and unprocessed pollutants flow out.

I don't know much about the initial outbreak as I never really examined it, but I just thought this might help.

This just reminded me of that Weskers Report in the Resident Evil Zero Guide. Wesker mentions the same things about the nemesis in that report as well.

Id love to see another type of nemesis in future RE games, from what Ive read about the Nemesis it seems to have a lot of potential the only problem is that its hard to succesfully create one.

Wednesday, October 01: The U.S. government went to Raccoon City fatal pollution campaign "sterilization" decided to run.

October 2nd: morning, Jill and Carlos, in the helicopter escape Raccoon City. Immediately after "sterilization operations" run by the military missile attacks began. Raccoon City has disappeared from the earth.

Hm... so BH3 ended on October 2nd after all, not October 1st? I suppose the issue is that Capcom generally stopped on October 1 for all there Raccoon-related timelines.

Naturally, Jill doesn't say if it's after midnight or before, so the night of October 1/2 is possible. Could be that it is contradicted in other materials, though.

From what I've seen, most Japanese players seem to be of the opinion that it was October 2nd. I suppose it works, heh. Can't really argue much with official material.

Reviving this topic for Prime Blue. I found where I initially found the Paris Laboratory = Umbrella HQ connection. It's from Famitsu. Just so happens to mention where Rockfort Island is located too, which isn't actually done in any other source until Darkside Chronicles I believe. Famitsu is also renowned for having heaps of information on the plot of the Biohazard games and access to exclusive material before pretty much any other publication, so I'd say its credible.

"Raccoon City (located in the central part of western USA) was completely destroyed by the T-Virus. Claire Redfield and the newcomer cop Leon Scott Kennedy escaped from the urban nigthmare. Afterwards Claire flew to Europe to find her lost brother again. But when she was searching the Umbrella Headquarters she was abducted and sent to Rockfort Island; a silent place located in South America, the only island in the distant sea. (This secret prison island is of course property of Umbrella.) Claire inside the prison sends a message to Leon and he has alerted Chris about the fatal destiny of his sister. He starts a dangerous tour to Rockfort to rescue Claire... but..."

There's also the simple fact that it doesn't make much sense for Claire to infiltrate an Umbrella laboratory when Chris directly states outright that he is going to Umbrella HQ. Why not go to the HQ, an infinitely better lead? Rather going to a (probably) different country?

Sorry, but that's a bit too weak an argument. It's just a journalist: Japanese is not the equivalent of trustworthy. Famitsu is also known for including their own syntheses in their articles, as seen in the RE4 ("fog version") announcement report. This all is disregarding the age of the article, of course, which you did not mention.

In all interviews and official sources, so far, they've always just said Europe. If they wanted to establish a connection with France, the developers would have said so. Adding to that, the Paris Umbrella facility was named a "development laboratory" rather than the "headquarters".

Fair point, I just wanted to bring it to your attention. It's still a source. And what's the announcement report you speak of? Don't think I've seen that one. I still believe they're separate, just don't know why Claire would infiltrate a high-security Umbrella laboratory with potentially no connection to Chris, rather than the single building with a high connection to Chris. It's literally his last known whereabouts. Another interesting thing is that the Paris Laboratory in CODE: Veronica is based on CyberDyne in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, right down to surrounding trees. However, the Paris Laboratory in the Biohazard: Degeneration prologue is a completely different building, right down to the fact that the CV one is made out of glass and steel while Degeneration has a brick building. No trees, no window hallways, etc.

The report in the November 22, 2002 issue of Famitsu. Talked about it here. Where's your passage from?

I also believe it's strange for Claire to raid some random facility, but who knows? She could have had a wrong lead, or been there to do something related. Maybe it was not commonly known where the Europe headquarters were (I mean, we don't know either...). That'll probably remain a mystery forever.

Don't have a date or issue number, but the issue appears to be heavily focused on CODE:Veronica. I'll keep looking. There are a heap of enemy descriptions as well. Is there anywhere to check over old issues of Famitsu?

Can you upload the report? I'm looking for anything CODE:Veronica-related as I want to overhaul the development section in the Wikipedia article sometime in the future. And it's really surprising how little interviews there were on this game.

I don't think there's any place for old Famitsu issues. It's mere luck if you come across some pages here and there.
