Resident Evil Revelations - The Official Spoiler Thread

[News Bot]

Curiouser and curiouser.

Perhaps the GPC and Organization are one and the same, after all?

Part of me thinks that would make too much sense for Capcom.

[Archelon]

At the very least, Ada's organization would be a member of the Consortium, right? Isn't it supposed to be another pharmaceutical company?

So The Organization is really just a group of Organizations...that sounds more like Metal Gear or something.

[Archelon]

The entirety of Revelations is pretty much Metal Gear, so why not?

Its nature was never really confirmed, so we don't have any idea whether it is a pharmaceutical company or not. People assume that from the "rival company" phrase, however

The only hint that it is possibly a pharmaceutical company is this excerpt from INSIDE OF BIOHAZARD THE DARKSIDE CHRONICLES, but it might be referring to the GPC as a whole (no plural definition, can be either company or companies, the latter implying the GPC).

Private Anti-Bioterrorism Unit

A Special Forces specializing in anti-bioterrorism which was organized by financing from a rival pharmaceutical company of Umbrella. Its members learnt the dark side of Umbrella and most of them are direct or indirect victims of their evil experiments, including some ex-members of the S.T.A.R.S. unit who escaped from Raccoon City. In 'BHUC', Chris and Jill appear as members of this force.

So The Organization is really just a group of Organizations...that sounds more like Metal Gear or something.

Possibly, impossible to tell at this point. Could just be a certain company in the consortium. Right now the only link in REV itself is this part from this file:

As our genetic mapping of the new virus (The Abyss) neared completion, the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium offered the assistance of their research branch via their contacts in an unnamed country.

Jessica's Report supposedly hints at the GPC as well. A translation is coming very soon, so we'll have to wait and see.

Jessica is welcome in resident evil 6 but Raymond ..... dear god what a crap character.

[Vector]

They're both terrible. Jessica's the typical big-titted slut villain(see Excella) and Raymond is the love child of Conan O'Brien and Rick Astley.

[News Bot]

Raymond was my favorite character in the game, next to Colonel Campbe--- I mean O'Brian.

[Vector]

Yeah, I was speaking more from a design point of view. Raymond as a character isn't that bad, although he was annoying as shit in that flashback towards the end of the game.

[Mrox2]

I would love to see Rachel in RE6 Lol i heard shes scary , sad she gets destroyed :/ , Now Excella to be revived with T-Abyss Virus would be nice and no more clothes please lol !!

[Smiley]

The English dialogue is so dramatically different in this series that it is doubtful that line was even written into the script. Most of the series' most appalling lines have come from translators, not writers.

From what I understand that seems to be the case. Like Jill's line about Rachael being a zombie.

[Mr. Spencer]

Raymond was my favorite character in the game, next to Colonel Campbe--- I mean O'Brian.

My favourite character is easily Norman, if only he had more lines in the game. Hell, that useless pillar of tits that is Rachel got more focus.

[Grem]

Agreed. Norman was the most interesting character of Revelations to me but they didn't really put much light on him. I want to know where Norman comes from, when and how Veltro was formed, etc....but we got almost nothing in the end. How Norman resisted mutation during one year in the sunken ship thanks only to his desire of vengeance is really impressive. Probably my favourite villain in the series next to Wesker.

[Mr. Spencer]

See, that's just it. I personally don't think Norman was a villain, in a sense he was as much a victim like anyone else. Granted, it was he who used the t-Abyss on Terragrigia and caused the outbreak to happen. But he wouldn't have been able to do that if Lansdale hadn't provided him with samples and the means to distribute the virus. It was Lansdale who gave him the push and it was Lansdale who was ultimately the cause behind everything. If it wasn't Norman it would have been someone else, could even have been a certain General Miguel Grande as far as we're concerned. It's like Lansdale opened up the encyclopaedia of terrorist organisations and randomly pointed his finger at a random entry.

"Veltro? They'll do, put me in contact with these bastards."

On that same note however, Lansdale's intentions were not entirely antagonistic either. He only sought to make the world aware of the real danger posed by bioterrorism, which seems like a noble if not extreme approach. But then you take into account the fact that he may have been using the opportunity to lengthen the FBC's mandate and in turn, maintain his own personal authority. In fact, he even made sure to take the EU out of the equation, most likely because the FBC had no authority as far as the EU was concerned and answered directly to the U.S. government.

As long as there are terrorists, there will always be a place for men like Lansdale. There will always be a need for counter-terrorists.

It's the perfect motivation. Think about it. Let's say you work as a computer technician except you specialise in Windows operating systems, if overnight the entire world switched to Macintosh, you would be obsolete. There's no place for you, there's no need for someone of your skills. Your illustrious career would come to an abrupt end, and Lansdale didn't want that to happen to him. So you would pretty much go out of your way to ensure that Windows remains the prominent system, even if you went to the lengths of corporate espionage to discredit Apple or something along those lines. Pretty much what Lansdale did, except in his case it was terrorists.

A world without terrorism would leave a lot of people out of work. You could argue that this is why we NEED bad things in the world, so that we have something to work against, something to keep us busy. I suspect that Lansdale had the same idea.

Well, I've completed Revelations now, and damn what a ride. The quality to the pacing and game play mechanics was incredible. I've not had much of a tense experience from a Resident Evil game since playing REmake (And to an extent, 4), and everything about it felt to the same level of fiction that the beloved survival horror titles in the series had. I now have a lot more faith that they can really nail the horror aspect and make it a bigger impact for Resident Evil 6 when it arrives. 9/10 for me over here.
