S'all good. I can see where you were coming from. Unfortunately the translator's mistakes usually defy any rational logic because they're born out of ineptitude rather than thought.

This is something that always confused me about Resident Evil 3. In the main Room at the police station, the door on the left that leads to the room where you see the Licker on the window and item chest...who boarded up the door?!

Is it agreed that this was just an contrived obstacle Capcom added to lock out an area - and that we're to assume some random survivor got into the station beforehand (between Leon/Claire and Jill), conveniently boarding up some doors?

Perhaps it could've been some of the survivors we saw in Outbreak file 2 in the police station? I don't remember what time period this was supposed to be at tho, if its even cannon.

Surviving police officers boarded it up. The boards are broken down by Zombies between BH3 and BH2. I've never understood why it seems to be such an issue for people.

probably because the doors look perfect and there are no zombies in the lobby, not to mention the doors are shut and the electronically locked one lol.

[News Bot]

Zombies manage to break through doors in Remake and Outbreak without breaking them.

The boards are non-story related, it`s just a gameplay excuse to not let people think they can go far in the RPD and explore those rooms, the same happens with the courtyard bellow RPD roof in Outbreak File 2, completely burning in flames with no reason.

Yeah I tend to lean towards this reasoning myself . Just making sure since I never saw/heard any concrete info explaining it story-wise.

Translation of the most interesting part of the BIOHAZARD 3 LAST ESCAPE Perfect Capture guidebook. Some of the details were provided by Mr. Yasuhisa Kawamura, which is why Umbrella's strategy of a "heroic rescue mission" to delay the city's destruction is only referenced in this book and our interview with him.

After the "T-Virus Project" found a certain level of conclusion, the "G-Project" was advanced based on an unknown concept by Dr. Birkin's planning. By injecting that virus, physical performance is increased to the maximum and it was said to completely transfigure humans into another phenomenal life-form. However when its completion was imminent in 1998, Umbrella became irritated with Birkin acting on his own authority and began to move to handle the matter.

Dr. Birkin caught onto Umbrella's movements and plotted to defect to the United States with the G-Virus as a gift. However, Umbrella feared their leading mind and virus leaking into the market and issued a dispatch order to their Special Forces, including HUNK. The first objective was the assassination or abduction of Dr. Birkin. The second objective was the recovery or destruction of the G-Virus.

In order to support Dr. Birkin's protection, the host American government deployed U.S. Army Special Forces equipped with a rail cannon. However, since they had no information on the exact Raccoon City Underground Laboratory, they invaded from the underground route for the incineration disposal plant, far from their destination. The Umbrella side already caught the information and deployed Tyrants toward the U.S. Army Special Forces. It became a fierce battle in the disposal plant, and both sides were wiped out.

When they didn't obtain the G-Virus with Dr. Birkin, the American government side decided on dropping a missile. The timing was when communications from the Special Forces were cut-off. However, in order to delay the decision, Umbrella first ordered a "heroic rescue mission" for the U.B.C.S. to mop-up the city area and evacuate surviving citizens into the clock tower. Along with appealing to the media, Umbrella representatives lobbied with high-level government officials. As a result, the annihilation of evidence with the missile drop was decided after Dr. Birkin's assassination and the American side's virus recovery failed, under the pretense of the "Sterilization Operation", and in a sense, it ended in Umbrella's one-sided victory. But Jill survived thanks to that.

Translation of the most interesting part of the BIOHAZARD CODE:Veronica Perfect Capture guidebook

The Umbrella Corporation's face is a clean, internationally high-profile and huge multinational corporation with a company name and emblem meaning "an umbrella" and expressing the wish "to protect the health of the people." Europe is its headquarters and it possesses research facilities, factories and branches around the world. They constantly produce medicines protecting people's healthy lives. Raccoon City was also one of them.

However, its true nature is a merchant of death advancing the development and sale of biological weapons with the use of viruses. Its customers also include national governments.

In December 1967, Umbrella founder Oswell E. Spencer, with his fellow aristocrat Edward Ashford, schoolmate James Marcus and others, discovered the "Progenitor" virus. This was the beginning of everything. In order to promote research on the virus with unknown possibilities and develop B.O.W.s in which actual combat deployment was possible, Umbrella was established as camouflage to the world.

Since its establishment, many B.O.W. development facilities were built; in Paris, an executive candidate training school, the Arklay underground laboratory, and beneath Raccoon City; ostensibly disguised as pharmaceutical laboratories and clean recreation facilities. Passionate and extraordinary researchers were allotted to each and commercialization of the virus was studied with nefarious experiment activities using various live creatures and humans.

In about ten years from the foundation, commercialization was at last in sight in September 1977. A member of the "Progenitor" discovery, Dr. Marcus, had fulfilled it conducting research at the executive candidate training school. Afterwards, the research's speed increased and even resulted in the realization of a B.O.W. with intelligence.

Thus, Umbrella held the initiative with B.O.W. development, but in recent years, a rival company has conducted similar development, starting a hot pursuit. Industrial spies were sent and an incident took place in which the Rockfort Island military base was attacked.

In 1962, Lord Spencer requested the illustrious New York-based architect George Trevor to construct a mansion for a large reward. The location was the Arklay Mountains of the Raccoon outskirts. It was a difficult order, but he invested all of his power and dispensed various devices while uninformed of their unique uses, and he completed a satisfactory building in November 1967.

In commemoration of the completion, the Trevor family were invited to the mansion and his wife Jessica and daughter Lisa arrived early on the 3rd from George, who was late on account of work. However, a terrifying plot awaited there. Jessica was administered the TYPE-A variant, failed and was disposed of. The administration of TYPE-B to Lisa was successful and she led a life of confinement as a test subject until ’98. According to the diary left by Dr. Marcus, this TYPE-B was the first called the “Progenitor” virus. In addition, George arrived late and was confined to the mansion and died of emaciation.

The “Progenitor” virus alters any creature injected with it, strengthens a host’s characteristics and provokes mutations by incorporating other genes, and was put to practical use as a military weapon. This project was called the “T-Virus Project” aiming at the development of a humanoid combat B.O.W. The “T” is the initial of Tyrant and has been identified as a codename tailored to this target.

After living experiments on a great variety of creatures, they stepped into nefarious human experiments and continued research in order to create a B.O.W. with command execution capabilities and higher intelligence, but before reaching it, many prototypes and by-products were spawned, such as the “Zombie.”

Afterwards, they concentrated their know-how and completed the Code No. T-002 Tyrant in the Arklay underground laboratory. In an attempt to control intelligence, a “parasitic organism” for infesting other creatures was artificially created with genetic engineering in the European Sixth Laboratory, and the Nemesis-T Type which acquired capabilities exceeding the Tyrant was completed. Furthermore, the “G-Project” Dr. Birkin established upon a subsequent unknown concept progressed further.

NOTE: There is a discrepancy in this material with the "1967" date and the line "According to the diary left by Dr. Marcus, this TYPE-B was the first called the “Progenitor” virus." 1967 was initially a typo in CAPCOM's official timeline material back around the time of BH0. It is actually 1966, and was corrected in BH5.

Wait, is this the Dreamcast version guide ? If so, it would mean that all of these plot details were already established way before the Wesker's Report II was written ? Amazing.

[News Bot]

GameCube version. The Perfect Capture series was only made for the GameCube editions. They essentially just took another look at everything and then meshed it with the new details to put it into another perspective. It worked quite well aside from the 1967 thing (which you can tell they were pretty perplexed by but didn't want to question CAPCOM), which plagued Archives and Catalysis.

[Sly]

I thought it was the original Dreamcast version because it's the only one to be actually called "Biohazard Code Veronica", all the other versions are called "Biohazard Code Veronica Complete/X/Kanzenban/whatever".
Your mistake then.

[News Bot]

Yeah, I never add the additional term.

Ingrid Hunnigan is a lie, just like "Nicholai Ginovaef."

ハニガン - Hannigan
Hunnigan isn't a real name (Google it for hilarity). It literally exists only for RE4 and the material thereafter. It's an outright mistranslation. A VERY amateur one too. Vowels man, how do they work?

Vowels are hard, man.
