Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

[Mr. Rod]

Although.... maybe all these reports/journals on the website are just done by the PR company behind Inserted Evil and got the info from unreliable sources like the wikia and don't reflect actual game content (except for core info and characters already revealed)? That's what I hope anyway.

I just asked Sven and Snow if they have any idea who the writers are. If it's anyone involved with the writing of the game, I will rage hard.

Or maybe stuff certain people have chose to ignore over the years and call uncanon simply 'because' were totally wrong. Wouldn't be the first time it has happened.

Ohhhh NEMMY how I have missed you!

So were my Deus Ex-influenced predictions really that incorrect?

"Weapon: Missile Launcher. Objective: Terminate S.T.A.R.S."

On one hand, the arguably more believable computer-based "programming" of Nemesis seems more realistic, but on the other, it detracts a bit from the organic feel of the original monster.

Part of me feels glad that all this "classic" stuff (from RE2 and RE3) is being resurrected, but part of me also feels that the writers are butchering it. Will there ever be a happy medium? It's all a matter of perspective.

The computer-based shit makes a hell of a lot less sense, since its 1998. They're lucky enough to get away with the super-computer and sentient AI. Nemesis being programmed through visual learning is both believable and it actually fits.

It's not believable, at least with the technology we knew in 1998. But this is Umbrella, a corporation which controlled everything. I don't find it too far-fetched. However, I agree with you that the visual programming angle also could have fit extremely well. Either way, isn't this game confirmed to be non-canon? I plan on taking everything in this game with a grain of salt.

Man, there was once a time where I would be raging hardcore over something like this.

I'm glad it's no longer that time.

Umbrella never controlled everything, that is bullshit which also comes from the movies.

Agreed.

Also I'm quite sure the guys writing all of the material on Inserted Evil are getting most of their information from the stupid fucking piece of trash known as the Resident Evil Wikia. Fuck that.

Also they're ripping more and more from the movies. Nemesis is now a Terminator.

Couldn't agree more. At first I was really excited with all that stuff they were showing but now that they're saying Nemesis is apparently some guy who got infected with the NE-Alpha and not a T-103 I'm not sure I even want to read those files anymore.

It's like they are doing some research to show they know more in depth stuff about the series but they aren't going deep enough to confirm what they are doing.

Dude Deux Ex influenced? Movies and games have been doing digital vision like this long before Deux Ex, saying Nemesis's vision is more influenced by The Terminator would actually be more accurate in my opinion.

Believe me, I don't like the movies any more than you do. But from playing the games, to me it felt like Umbrella pretty much controlled everything. Did they not re-route the military to the disused plant to be slaughtered by tyrants? Think of the power they have if they can influence the military...

That's just the vibe I got from it. It's probably not a direct influence, but I find it to have a similar visual feel. However, I also definitely see a connection to Terminator.

That's only because the U.S. Army had spies in Umbrella. Umbrella just happened to find the spies and tamper with the info that the Army was fed.

They did not control everything. The whole point behind Umbrella was that it was a normal company, and all of its shady dealings were done in complete secret as they were not immune to public outcry and international law. Their top customer was the U.S. Government, which let them off the hook for a while. That's pretty much it. They weren't omnipotent.
