Resident Evil Damnation

[Reston]

If you own a Playstation 3 you can download it. It's 17.99 in U.S. Currency. Go to the video tab and use the search engine and type in "Resident" as it won't appear in the new section. I'm downloading it now and i'll answer your questions if you cannot still get it for our Euro friends.

Dammit, Europe getting shafted here. Absolutely no formal announcement about this anywhere, and not even a concrete release date for any region.

Don't worry, It will be up any day now. hehe.

For some reason, throughout almost the entirety of the end credits, cutscene footage from Resident Evil 6 plays in the background, and a good majority of it is made up of scenes we haven't seen.

Wtf?... Why would they ever do that? That's awful. Well at least I know when I to stop watching, thanks for the heads up.

How long is it? Anywhere close to what it was originally proposed to be?

It's 1hr 35min. About to finish it. Spoiler:

Geez, the Mr. X's (T-003) must be a new model on here or something, they're way too large, like 12 feet tall.

Fucks sake, so how can I watch it in the UK then? I'll try the PC version of Zune? Will that work?

I've got a US account, but I'm buying the bluray next week or whenever it comes out and I don't really want to pay twice for it, a rental would do.

Just finished. Movie wasn't bad, but not all that great either. It was at least much better than Degeneration.


The Lickers in this movie are the ones from RE5, the Licker Betas. Licker Betas are Lickers injected with Progenitor so...Spoiler:

Buddy being able to control them with plagas doesn't make any sense.

[[STARS]TyranT]

So... I can create a US Hotmail account and buy it from the US version of Zune.... How do I put credits on there? It needs a CC?

[Dark_Chris]

So anyone care to upload it?

[Darkmoon]

Nope, because we'll ban them.

The obvious explanation would be that they were also injected with the subordinate Plagas.

In about 8 days?

Just finished watching it. This movie was way better then both Damnation and the actual live movies (not saying much for the live movies). It felt more like a Resident Evil title and does a good job of blending both horror and action. Some pretty good twists and surprises. My only issue was that Leon sort of had his RE4 personality with his one liners although this time quite a few of them were in bad taste when RE4 they were meant for those who were enemies.

During the scrolling of the end credits there are some scenes of RE6 however a lot of them are what you already seen in the trailers but quite a few of them are extended which can be considered a spoiler.

I'll wrap spoiler tags around the stuff I'll say so anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled doesn't have to read it however I will not ruin it for anyone just telling you what to expect and not to expect.

Las Plagas.

It's not specifically said how they obtained Las Plagas from either Ada or Saddler in that regard but they do say how they are in possession of it. There is an explanation that uses an analogy between the control and slave parasite with that of a queen and worker bee. Las Plagas is the main attraction of the movie.

Neo-Umbrella, Tricell, Ada's Organization, Umbrella, etc.

It's not talked about nor is there anything that hints to this. Suggested it's probably being held for the video game.

Purpose of the movie.

It's basically just to show how Las Plagas can be effective as a weapon in the battlefield. The movie does a good job at this.

[Archelon]

Regarding how Las Plagas was obtained...

Spoiler:

Ada seems to imply that she was the one who provided at least two dominant species plagas and several subordinate species plagas to the resistance army. However, I'm not entirely certain this is the case, as it is discovered later in the movie that the president of the Eastern Slav Republic has been harvesting and cultivating Las Plagas on a massive scale. Leon suspects that she was the one who released the plagas into the wild, which she neither confirms nor denies.

JD, one of the resistance members, says they were given the plagas by their "elders," and we find out towards the end of the movie that the president has been making some backroom deals with the elders, so she may very well have been the one who provided the plagas to the resistance movement after all.

We never find out how or from where she got the plagas in the first place, though. No reference is made to Ada's organization, the events of Resident Evil 4, Tricell, Neo-Umbrella, or pretty much anything else that would tie this directly to the games. Ada does retrieve a dominant species plaga for her handler (who we see briefly from behind but never speaks, instead communicating via a computer monitor and typing on a keyboard), but to what end, there's no telling.

Are Simmons or Carla in Damnation?
