RE5 Lady in Red(Black Actually)(But seriously, it's Red)(Since red is the new black)(Exactly, Red) Dress debate.

So in RE5, the chick in the red dress(Sherry), who is just some anonymous character, probably since Capcom changed alot of the games layout.

Someone thought her dress was black, and I say red. In fact, ever since the earliest trailers showing her have come out, she has always been referred to as the blonde in the "red" dress. What do you think?

Hmm...I never gave it much thought. I thought the whole scene was just there to show the Plaga popping out of the enemies' heads. She obviously looks out of place though so the theory you bring up is reasonable. Is there any more info on this? Is she canonically supposed to be Sherry? I hope not...

didn't that lady in the red dress die? i should no this because i finished re5 again last week but my memory is very bad these days lol

Yes she did. A plaga burst from her neck and then you get to pwn her with your weapon of choice.

idk bout her she def does not look like she fits the game at all i keep thinking she is sherry but others say she is not i have mixed feelings on her lol

You can avoid it by using Chris' neck twist, or maybe even Sheva's throat slit.

I thought her head burst during the little cutscene? How can you avoid it?

I'm convinced that the lady in the red dress is a random. If she was Sherry, wouldn't CAPCOM have given information or a reference sometime in the game hinting that she was of some importance? She does look out of place though.

She does die, I just figured she was like that first plaga ganado from the 4th game, just designed to show the Plagas popping out of their head. The only reason it was anyone special was to give it a cutscene type deal.

And I still maintain her dress is black.

Nope, in the scene, you see her get dragged away, then there is a 2nd scene in which she attempts to(whatever a majini is supposed to do when they grab you), whatever, and her mouth simply opens up, but she has a full head when the fight actually begins, in which you can use Chris' neck twist.

@Dogfood, I didn't say it is Sherry, because at this point it was probably some random person, but at one time I bet it was Sherry, and possibly just changed at the last minute.

@Moonknight, the dress is obviously red. Although in Mercs Reunion it does look a little more black.

Sorry Spike...but that is one hell of a black dress.

Edit: No worries Spike! I used my new Staff Admin superpowers to fix the title mistake... Love, Nite.

The one in Mercs Reunion is pretty black, but the one in the main game, is red.

Don't worry, I took care of it.

High five to Nite for realizing the difference between red and black, and a big cheer for both of you for being so mature.

Hip hip hooray!.

But, still, it's black.

You need to have read the viral adverts that were around ont he net before the game came out...

Thanks, although I don't much care for that site, I suppose it has some of that early stuff.

That is the only place I have heard of her by name, otherwise she is just an anonymous person...in a red dress.

It was leaked by Capcom when one of the first trailers for the game came out that her name was Allyson.

Wish I had a source for this but really can't be arsed to find one.

The woman in the black dress is named Allyson?

I don't know who that is, but the one in the Red Dress was supposed to be named Allyson, although I don't know of anything official in RE5...just stuff way before it came out.

Well, it's official that it was denied to be Sherry at any time in RE5, that she was not intended to be Sherry.

And, it's black.

It was most certainly red, just look at the title of the thread. In the final product of RE5, it isn't her, but as far back as this game was in development, it probably was at one point.

As the title of the thread was edited by our very own Spike multiple times, I can't put much credence in it, can I?

And, in an interview with GameTrailers.com, Jun Takeuchi says that any speculation of Sherry Birkin being in RE5 was just a rumor, meaning she was never planned to be in it.

That is only one source, there are many others, which definately gave weight to the whole thing about Sherry.
