Resident Evil 6

[CODE_umb87]

That's all nice but the real issue here is that nothing is ever mentioned in RE5 about this worldwide crisis and there seem to be Plagas enemies as well.
It's just too huge to be happening before 5 and with Chris mentioning Raccoon City instead. Why would people fear a new Raccoon City incident when it already happened on a much bigger scale?
Revelations is supposed to be linked with 6 so that's where this personal vendetta may be coming from. I doubt it has anything to do with Jill this time.

This x100. I just can't imagine RE6 being a prequel to RE5 when absolutely none of it was mentioned by Chris. If it was a prequel to RE5 and Jill was presumed dead...... it would mean RE6 took place somewhere between 2007-2008 (after Lost in Nightmares), and that's way too close to when RE5 takes place.

As for Chris' attitude problem, I think it's a pretty obvious sign of roid rage.

Has anyone speculated yet that the buzz-cut, scar-faced dude might be Wesker's kid? Who's to say that Albert didn't father a child with some chick through the years (post self-infection)? That would explain the guy's younger appearance and could count for his blood being "different." I know there's not much info on Alex Wesker but I imagine that he'd be in Albert's age range, which seems much older than scar-face. Also, as others have noted - Albert Wesker's physiology was changed after injecting himself, so he could have passed along some of his genetic material. Or a Wesker...clone? *shudder* Either way, something happens to make scar-face aware of his genetic importance, and he crosses paths with Sherry Graham or Ashley Birkin (whatever you want to call blondie). I imagine that their tale will have some sort of romantic subplot, so that's why I think they'll both be younger in age. Sherry'll be in her early 20s. And even Ashley would be in that age range as well.

Speaking of Sherry - did anyone ever find out if she was just an orphaned kid leading a normal life or supposedly in Wesker's clutches? If the latter, she could have been close to scar-face if he does indeed have ties to Albert.

And I still believe that Chris's declaration of "that bitch" might be referring to some traitorous woman that was serving as a guide/information provider which led his team to the point where they are ambushed. Probably nothing more than that...seeing as people's minds can spin elaborate tales that Capcom never quite fulfills.

If this was true that kid will be 10-15 years old (depending on this game date). Not possible.

[Beanovsky Durst]

I think it really depends on when RE6 actually takes place. If it is indeed set before RE5, then he's probably still reeling from Jill's death, and the "truth" to which he refers is that she's gone.

Now, if RE6 takes place after RE5, Chris may be referring to the fact that all of this is indirectly his fault. By taking down Umbrella, Chris and his allies have inadvertently caused the rise of this new era of global bioterrorism. The world is, arguably, much worse off now than it ever was while Umbrella still existed.

This makes so much sense to me. We all knew that the fall of Umbrella would bring bioterrorism and chaos to the world. And it's not crazy to think that there were more BOW dealers than Wesker.

Wesker children, of a Wesker children? I don't see Wesker having offspring to be honest. I mean, Excella really wanted to get some and Wesker was all about Uroboros. And she was damn fine LOL!
If it's related to Albert, then he is either a surviving Wesker Children who everybody thought was dead (Albert came back after dying...) or Alex.

As for the theory if RE6 is before RE5 it doesn't make sense to me... I hope more details come along with the next trailers.

This time after a game is announced, and in the months leading up to a game's release, are when I truly enjoy this site. I love reading some good theories around here.

RE-6__VS__RE-Damnation

Good point - may also explain why things have been so quiet on the Damnation info front. If this is true that they have taken the idea of Damnation and made 6 from it I hope 1) that this doesnt mean that Damnation has been completely canned but 2) that they have scrapped Leon as main character and gone down a different route *cough* Rebecca & Barry *cough*. Im not a Leon hater by any means but after 4, Darkside Chronicles, Degeneration and now 6 I think its time to give Leon a day off and us a break from the character.

[Ghostface]

Have you guys noticed that the mysterious bald guy from the trailer kicking ass sounds like Troy Baker(think that's his last name) from Tales of Vesperia?

[Dracarys]

No. it's official... Carolyn Lawrence made it so with this recent Tweet she made:

Do you not understand how a NDA would work? She can in no way admit to doing voice work for the game, if she is asked she HAS to deny it.

[News Bot]

Do you not understand how a NDA would work? She can in no way admit to doing voice work for the game, if she is asked she HAS to deny it.

An NDA would mean she could neither confirm or deny. She denied. Just like Alyson Court denied being in Damnation and such.

Good call. I overlooked that simple equation of time...unless the genetic alterations in Wesker's blood cause accelerated aging, which is opposite what you figure would happen, considering the healing factor aspect which Wesker displayed. Back to Alex Wesker it is for me then...

This makes so much sense to me. We all knew that the fall of Umbrella would bring bioterrorism and chaos to the world. And it's not crazy to think that there were more BOW dealers than Wesker.

I think that is what Chris is referring to, when he says "I can't keep running away...I have to face the truth...accept responsibility." Perhaps he acknowledges that his mission toward rooting out all bioterror has had the opposite effect in causing it to become more prominent? When you think about it, since RE1, his character arc (easily the most central and important to the series) has solely been to eradicate the potential for bioterror.

I could see an opposite effect really messing with his mind. I'd like that if Capcom actually made some meaningful advances in character development and the overall impact of the story. But I'd better calm down as I thought the same things might happen since RE1-3...and instead received the shitshows RECV and RE4, and the barely acceptable (but still disappointing) RE5. I'm not expecting Shakespeare, but storytelling should be advancing along with the pretty graphics.

Wesker children, of a Wesker children? I don't see Wesker having offspring to be honest. I mean, Excella really wanted to get some and Wesker was all about Uroboros. And she was damn fine LOL!

Yeah, Vito's examination of time knocks my idea out. As does your example of Albert passing over his "bosom" buddy Excella. I guess he really was gay for Chris, lol. (Or really adamant about his belief that the planet is overpopulated.) Which is a shame, as Wesker traveling the globe, hooking up with chicks and making babaies sets up plenty of jokes about complete global saturation. I'll show myself out.

[Archelon]

So, we can now assume that the blonde IS Sherry...

Crap... I wanted Claire to be in the game where Sherry made its return. It won't happen.

You know what assuming does.

[TheSelfishGene]

Wow I go offline for 4 days and this happens

Will have to read through the thread when I get on something easier to handle than a 3DS

[Alkar]

Do you not understand how a NDA would work? She can in no way admit to doing voice work for the game, if she is asked she HAS to deny it.

If a voice actor/actress denies working on a project it means that they're not working on it. If they were you'd get vague answers like "I cannot comment on that", "Wait and see" or simply a straight "Yes, I am".
Patricia leaked Gold Edition before it was even announced so it can happen.
This does not mean that the girl is surely Sherry but remember that IGN's source is actually reliable as they told us exactly what we later on found out with the trailer+ Ada being in it.
Not to mention that Sherry has not been in any game after RE2... that means they can pretty much come up with whatever they want as they have more than 10 years of story to create compared to Ashley losing her father and instantly becoming a secret agent that knows how to treat a super secret virus that only very few actually knew. And guess who gave this same virus to Albert? Sherry's father.
She has every reason to research these viruses more than Ashley and being in the hands of the government would also help. Ashley is the president's daughter and after RE4 I'm sure she was locked up in her room with 10 bodyguards following her moves all over the place.

[Zombie Fred]

Right time to give my thoughts on this now;

I feel confident saying that this team has a bold direction where to take this title and not make it become a game where it had a identity crisis (5) from the huge universal reception Resident Evil 4 received, and that it has more veteran staff and a good idea what to do given the stuff we have seen.

Is it more action? Yes. Is it more horror? Oh god yes. They are definitely going for the route where it’s going to be tensed action but at the same time they are incorporating an endless nightmare for the characters and to keep the player off guard, like how Dead Space one and two did (I can see the influence from those games in the gameplay to an extent).
But what am I glad about the most? All main characters we have seen are completely out of their situation and completely not prepared what’s to come.

Leon looks human again, he’s even in his civilian gear so you can tell the situation has got to him that he looks totally almost on the peak that he could snap/give up, seeing him how he looks tired and, for once, scared about the whole world he is living through again (another Raccoon City with tall peaks and how one of the most powerful men in the world got killed to show that no one is going to come out unscratched), he’s definitely not being funny with this situation.

Chris Redfield, and his BSAA allies, are well prepared but even by what we see in the trailer they have a much worst fate from the BOWs and other experiments that is going on in China, you can see how much it has got to Chris when he snaps, given his training and survival from Kijuju and Wesker, this is another game changer for him and it seems his team are the one trying to keep him in check.

And now for what I think about the third scenario, I already put some of my thoughts what I think could go on as a possible situation

If that is Sherry Birkin and "Wesker" together then it would be an interesting contrast to see how their relationship would be when you reflect with Albert and William, they could possible the exact opposite of their goals and want to "save the world", even given the bad blood of their history. I love to see that as a possible direction for them, or hope that's the case.

As again, given how powerful this duo seems, they are still running for their lifes and you can see that they are kept on their feet with what is happening. This is a giant global situation that no one is safe, the world is in very much danger, the world having the worst nightmare yet. I do hope we see other characters and Capcom would be try to be much spoiler free this time (allthough I will go on a media black out) but this definitley a solid direction that this team has confidence in and going all out with.

It’s about time that they really let loose on a giant catastrophe in this world, with all the deadly BOWs and viruses that have been birthed by Umbrella and then its rivals, researchers, it’s time for the unforeseen consequences. Knowing that Ada is in this also, I do wonder if the “organization” is about to become a major player and be the main threat or a syndicate organization that had a major part on this situation. I hope so because I want to see that have a phsychological impact on Chris (with his team dying and that “bitch” could be related?) and Leon (Ada being a threat and him now having to take her out) now having his past coming back to haunt him in a bit nasty bite. That’s one possible situation about this organization/Ada, but there’s so many ideas now on what to expect it’s great to be a Resident Evil fan at this time again.

The entire point of a NDA is to stop info leaks. "I'm not allowed to answer" or "I cannot say" is as good as confirmation that a VA worked on something, the only answer that can be a total cover is 'No'.

I've dealt with a couple in the past, the people who make you agree to one are very serious about it and clear to explain such dumbass mistake answers are no good.

That doesn't mean the answer isn't really no, just that if under a NDA that is the only answer you'd get anyway.

[Pikminister]

Do you not understand how a NDA would work? She can in no way admit to doing voice work for the game, if she is asked she HAS to deny it.

Sure, I guess so... someone pointed out to me on another forum that Miss Lawrence with that Tweet she made she only admitted to not reprising the Ashley role... not that she's not playing blondie/Sherry.

But then there is that e-mail that Gradon got previously and where she clearly says that she wasn't asked to be part of RE6.

You know what assuming does.

Yep. And with so many RE games going around... Tis' the perfect season to make asses of ourselves.

Thanks Capcom. Your fucked-up ways make that all happen. You do it every time too.
