Barry and Rebecca Gameplay Footage From Merc. Reunion
Seriously - they look ace. Love the little nods to the original. "I have this!" and the pepper spray are wicked references.
Best characters they could of picked for the reunion, but it marks a harsh reality that these have been seriously neglected characters.
Indeed. "Here's Barry!"...it's so full of win yet a bit pathetic. Nice nod though, and I'm still undecided if I like his VA or not.

Rebecca seems pretty bad. I really hope I'm wrong.
A few things about her mercs inclusion I like:
-The bug spray melee attack (I think I'm going by what the novel called it)
-One of her weapons is the "Jail Breaker" (nice Billy reference)
-RE1 style voice
-Ground melee recalls the head kick that the female characters in RE1 and 2 would perform as a counter to being chomped on the leg.
Rebecca's melee attacks seem weak and her voice is horrid, but I'll still be playing with her the most. And WTF with the flames? Was it first aid spray + lighter? Or maybe it randomly happens a percentage of the time.
Also her spray has got to be a call back to when she sprayed Chris in RE1, does anyone remember if it was first aid spray or bug spray. I'd imagine bug spray would be flammable, but first aid spray probably wouldn't. (I'm imagining first aid spray is an aerosol based disinfectant with a clotting agent. They sell them at normal stores, but I have no idea if they're flammable, but it seems unlikely for safety reasons.)

Amazing observations, the shotgun is such a subtle nod!
Some of the things the developers throw in seem like they do know the series, but then they'll go and throw it all away with such senseless errors sometimes.

Something about hearing Rebecca and Barry (and Josh and Excella) constantly saying the same few lines over again may get a bit dull. That's the thing about novelty...after a while, it simply does not have the same enjoyment. Barry still looks fun as hell to play as. Pistol whip ftw. Rebecca...meh. With her weaker attacks, it will be easier to set up the three hit combo.
