Vito, Capcom couldn't kill Jill on RE5. They won't kill Chris. But it's great to see he finally snapped. Wonder what happened to push him into the edge... Something related to Jill or Claire?

Jake's abilities must be from the C-Virus dancing with his Weskery blood, Sherry's have to be the G on her. Finally a controlled mutation of G-Virus? Interesting. Those two are gonna get all smoochy by the end of RE6. Mark my words. Wesker Birkin babies! LOL.

I just hope that the whole Wong/Radames plot is presented in a decent way. Clones are dangerous plot devices, they can fuck RE6 or make it big. We'll see.

I originally thought Chris's trauma was related to Claire or Jill, but the second trailer makes it pretty clear that it's from "Ada's" attack on his unit and his ensuing head injury. A pretty timely plot device considering how many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans (many of whom are also gamers) have traumatic brain injuries.

As for your second observation: as I've said before in this thread, it's as unsubtle as a Leona Lewis song. This one, in fact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7sG2Ebnn6A&ob=av2e

And now you guys know what I listen to when I work out.

I don't want Chris to die but if it benefits the plot... go for it.

I don't think Jill or Claire will have involvement on RE6. It will go down like this I'm sure:

Chris finds Carla on Europe --> Chris fucks up and lets Carla walk --> Carla kills hes entire unit bar Piers----> 6 months later--> Carla has killed thousands of people--> Chris feels those deaths are on him --> Hes hell vent on killing Carla --> RE6

About Jake and Sherry: I still think its the shots, why will Jake inject them otherwise?
I admit it will be good if Sherry turns out to be a G-Human.

The impression I get about the mystery shot is it's some variation on the prototype virus Wesker took back in '98. I think the question we're all getting at is: will Jake become dependent on the stuff the same way Wesker was (which the trailers sort of imply)? This could be a huge factor in gameplay. Maybe the super strength/endurance is only temporary and then you have to rely on your sidearm and risk massive amounts of damage until your next dose.

And oh yeah, I vote Sherry for secret crypto-villain. "Gentle heart," my butt.

But Jake has no way to get the Experimental Virus. Isn't already confirmed he got exposed to the C-Virus? maybe he got those abilities for a short time and needs to inject himself with the C-Virus every now and then to get them back (those needles are the same ones Chris founds on the Captive trailer, which are from the C-Virus)

Anyone else betting that 6 ends the series and then they re-boot? You got Sherry and Jake, both characters blood is gonna end up the cure for these viruses, Leon will end his story arc with Ada and Chris -MAYBE- will finally settle down with Jill at the games end...or at least stay poker buddies for life with her.

Chris and Jill have been buddies for so long that it would almost be like incest for them to start doing the horizontal mambo and having lil' kids and stuff.

I dunno about Chris... neither Jill or Sheva... and he even pushed Jessica off him in Revelations... I dunno.

I sincerely hope we won't be seeing a reboot of the series. Sure it wasn't ALL good, but I don't want everything thrown away to start something new. Just start a new game series. =\

Revelations set up some more possibilities with Chris and Jill. And I'm still expecting a story with Rebecca eventually(If Sherry can make a return to the series, I don't see why Rebecca can't).

Oops, yeah, it is the C virus. But to be fair, we don't yet know where the C virus came from. If it was derived from the Progenitor virus, it could be similar to the one Albert and Alex received. My best guess is that Alex and Albert had genetic resistance or even compatibility with the viruses. That's why they survived and became humanoid BOWs while the other Wesker Children subjects died. So Jake inherits that "special blood type" and bam, he has the same reaction to the new pathogen.

After Revelations, I definitely got the impression that Capcom considers Chris and Jill an OTP. I'll be really surprised if that's not resolved in RE6.

It would be great to see Rebecca again, but she never quite "went away" the same way Sherry did. After all, she was RE0's main character. I always suspected Capcom was deliberately keeping Sherry out of the spotlight so they could do something major with her down the road.

The reboot fetish that has risen in this generation needs to fuck back off and die.

Not if it sells bucketloads, which is likely. I only expect a reboot if sales slump heavily for a game or two, hopefully this will only ever happen because they ditch the main characters, and the reboot brings them all back.

Thanks for the info, CrimsonElder.

But am I the only one who is seriously disheartened at a lot of this new info?

1. "Together they're unstoppable pair of near-invincible self-regenerating superhumans and their campaign is a melle fighter that Capcom are waiting until E3 to properly reveal." Fantastic, regenerating health. Looks like Capcom has once again decided to copy as opposed to innovate. Melee combat is one of the things that, in my opinion, has destroyed RE since RE4. It wasn't too bad there, but in RE5 it got worse. And now? This simply isn't RE anymore. It may be the same characters, but it may as well be a different franchise.

2. "Chris's campaign is an action based thing, but we're still trying to bring horror elements to each of them in their own way and even an action story can have elements of horror that you cant do in say Leons story - that greater intensity and pressure." Translation: RE5 all over again, with (possibly) better locations. People actually liked that game?

3. "But usually we left every big story moment to the big cut-scenes." Translation: Linear bore-fest. More big cut scenes, less (interesting) gameplay. That's just a fact. Kobayashi's "We're trying to deliver a horror entertainment experience" quote pretty much confirms that they're more interested in making this game a Hollywood blockbuster movie than they are an actual game.

I can't possibly be the only one that thinks this series is heading down the shitter. It has been since RE5 (some may say RE4), but never like this. Everything just keeps getting farther and farther from what the classic games were all about, all because Capcom is trying to please too many people with the same product - COD action junkies, "survival" horror fans, and now what? Beat-em-up fans who love playing as overpowered nigh-invincible characters?!

I've always liked the stories in RE (even some of the more recent ones). But to me, gameplay comes first and foremost. If "Ada" turns out to be a clone, I can forgive it if the gameplay is excellent. But it just doesn't seem to be heading in that direction. A game can have the most interesting plot in the world, but if the gameplay sucks, the game itself sucks. Actual gameplay is what differentiates video games from passive entertainment like movies and television. Developers these days seem to forget that fact.

Theres a time when its necessary to hit the reboot switch, Mortal Kombat did it and actually pulled it off quite well.

I think that RE is ready to do it too. Lets face it, after this games story, which features a world wide outbreak, where else is there to go?
Space? Didn't work out for Dino Crisis.

If they did re-boot at least they have a chance to make a more coherent storyline, go back to the original survival horror concept more and expand upon existing material. Like the REmake and original game.

Course this IS Capcom, and they put sales ahead of the fan base nine times out of ten, but still in all honesty after a world wide outbreak..where else is there to go?

We gonna end up with the shitty T-virus has destroyed the world concept like in the films? Because if the CoD fan base thats invaded the RE sales gets its way, that's the end result. It has the most opportunities for 'Shoot this!' and only a minimal of effort story and setting wise.

RE movie territory.

Lets face it, after this games story, which features a world wide outbreak, where else is there to go?

Small-scale games focusing more on experimenting with horror in a fictional universe which is rich and diverse and offers many, many opportunities for new situations and storylines. After BH6, there literally are no standing plot threads left to tie-up. The only remaining plot thread in the series storyline is Ada and her organization, both of which appear to finally be getting cleared up in BH6.

I would not mind if they started toning down the scale of the series (no more Hollywood-scale shit please) and focus on trying to make interesting, unique games that actually focus more on horror. Probably won't happen, but a man can dream.
