Resident Evil 6

[Wrathborne]

The body language in the first game really suggests some romantic feelings for one another. I believe Jill embraces Chris once he saves her (she never embraced Barry when he pulled through) and then rested her head on Chris' shoulder once they escaped. Canon or not, there was definitely some little hearts drawn in the margins with these two.

First game always implied it, but there was never any follow through(Minus a quip made by Parker in 'Revelations'), problem comes down to the fan bases. Fans in general like their heros to be single, but realistically you don't spend 16 years as poker buddies fighting horrific monsters and sleep alone in bed. That's how you know its a video game, when at the end of the day your protagonists go home sleep and are both pretty much asexual despite being together for over a decade.

Despite gore and violence and shit, Capcom has never quite grown up and allowed their characters to be adults outside of the age limit, cursing and drinking.

In depth review right... here.

this is a must watch for everyone. i mean, for everyone in da world. this dude is beyond the funny.

There is no romantic attachment between Jill and Chris. Deal. With. It. They are sworn partners, but nothing more. Nothing has ever suggested otherwise aside from the fact that they are of the opposite sex, so obviously they gotta fuck, right? Mulder and Scully Syndrome all up in this shit. There is nothing stupid about that remark apart from the fact that it's precisely what CAPCOM have been saying for years. They said it with BH5, they said it again.

I'm sorry but with all due respect that's BS.

Chris was willing to risk the ENTIRE world just to get Jill to safety in RE5. I have to remark this: He was willing to risk the safety of Claire, his sister for a friend. I'm sorry but risking all that for a friend is just not possible, no way will anyone risk a sibling like that if he didn't loved her.

I would suggest ending the topic or giving it a separate thread if it's going to this subject matter; I've been through hell and back with it on Tumblr, where Im sure it originated...

I'd like to think that Capcom tries to keep romance neutral to leave it open to interpretation by the fans. To give people the freedom to pair whoever they want without one specific pair being "set in stone". They never really directly stated that (x) character is dating (y). And just because a female character is paired with a male, does not mean they are instantly a couple(like some are doing with Sherry and Jake).
Sometimes I think they try to avoid the subject, or make it ambiguous. Like I explained in length on a blog post, the writers aren't consistent with the games, so you'll have character interactions written one way compared to that of another game. But cmon people, you don't play Resident Evil because of shipping do you?

Based on the amount of fans who deny the FACT that Chris and Jill are not romantically involved, I'm sure there's plenty who actually do.

Anyway, I'm all for making this a separate topic. There's no point in dragging down this thread with romance nonsense.

To get this thread back on topic.

CAPCOM has updated their monster section with three new creatures: Chrysalid, Strelats, and Napad. Enjoy.

[Red-Jackal]

Interesting how both Strelats and Napad look like some of the unused creature designs from Resident Evil 5. More specifically the ones that could emit a gas/vapor from their bodies.

[Reston]

Napad actually reminds me of the unused creature from RE 1.5 that was based on a gorilla. However the face reminds me of a sasquatch.

I really have no interest in RE6(RE5.5. Leon and Ada va's recasted. Most likely a half-baked story ala RE5). I check this thread from time to time though when I'm bored just to see what's going on. Anyways, I couldn't help but share this little tidbit(not that it's really related to RE6's plot most likely).

Bull FUCKING shit. The notion that there isn't a romantic attachment between the two is so freaking retarded, I really don't have any words to explain it. Might as well have been Barry that was captured and used as Wesker's little sex pet. Yeah, go fuck off with that crap, Capcom.

Not that I really care anymore, but geeez, the utter stupidity of that remark is astounding. Guess Leon/Ada and Claire/Steve are Capcom's definition of a good ole romance(since Kobayashi brings up those in the full quote). Just sounds like a shit excuse for why Jill wasn't included in the game(in any capacity) where Chris is mentally in a very bad place. Bollocks.

Each dev/producer says different things. Takeuchi said among writers there is a rule for not showing any romance scenes but that doesn't mean a romance does not exist. Capcom doing it in a way so people who wish to deny it can do so, people who wish t believe can do so, if there is a rule not to show it then it pretty evident they cannot show it. Pretty much every Chris and Jill game throws little teases in there for fans.

Like RE5 isn't enough to make a point with him willing to risk the world for her (the entire plot is a classic white knight goes on dangerous quest to rescue his princess from evil wizard story, just adapted to a RE universe), the Revelations scene when Chris and Jill reunite couldn't be pandering to fans any harder, after Chris putting down Jessica all game and her blatent attempts to get Chris interested, Chris and Jill walk off together with Parker telling Jessica "Maybe he is already taken". If the subtext was any thicker people would choke on it.

I'm sorry but risking all that for a friend is just not possible, no way will anyone risk a sibling like that if he didn't loved her.

He risks falling out of a damn plane and punches a boulder to save Sheva, and incurs a head injury trying to save his entirely male BSAA team, attempts to save Rodrigo, etc. Chris goes to extreme lengths to save people, and that is why he was discharged from the Air Force. Every single one of his profiles mentions that he's a straight-as-an-arrow character with a strong sense of justice. Him getting all bent out of shape over losing Jill does NOT imply romantic attachment. It implies that the poor bastard doesn't like losing people and there was no confirmation of her death, and she was his friend of many years who had fought alongside him. The only thing that ever "implies" romance is the fact that one has a penis and the other a vagina. Oh, and a joke by a character.

I'm not sure why Dracarys hangs on the word of Takeuchi (who is not involved with the series anymore) but completely ignores Kobayasahi, who outright stated that they are just partners. Then again, people will conjure up any excuse to justify these bizarre shipping fantasies. It's borderline delusional. People can't get beyond two fictional characters of opposing sex not being in love. If the chemistry between the two leads is what keeps people interested (and let's face it, there is very little of it in the series) then compromising that only ruins half of what makes the characters interesting to begin with.

Not one of those times he risked the life of his sister or someone else, that's my point. All of those examples he was only risking his life but now he was risking the entire world to save just one person. No one will risk family for a friend.,even if it is a long time friend.

Indeed, if Chris is so determined about saving everyone why was he willing to let Wesker escape and kill millions, just because he wanted to stay with Jill.

CHRIS: We can't just leave you here

JILL: You have to, this is your only chance. If Wesker succeeds, Uroboros will
be spread across the globe! Millions will die!

CHRIS: Well yeah, but...


WELL YEAH, BUT...

lulz

[Det. Beauregard]

Is Jill in RE6? Nope. Why are we talking about her here?

[Dracarys]

We're talking about Chris.

He risks his life for everyone, even people he doesn't even know. He fought the Gulp Worm to save Rodrigo, an Umbrella employee who captured his sister. That's despite his initial hostility towards him. The example of him "risking the entire world" in BH5 is pretty stupid. He wasn't going to just drop everything now that he found Jill. He only just found her and was trying to make sure she was fine by either taking her with them or taking her to safety before chasing after a man he had been chasing for over ten years. She passes out immediately afterwards, justifying Chris's worry. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, just another example of Chris's personality.

There is no romance between the two, literally or hypothetically.
