Rebecca Chambers memory loss?

Ok as we are all familiar with (Or atleast I hope so) Rebecca chambers is the medic of Bravo team.

I won't go into great detail about Zero because this is not supposed to be a review.

Well what do you guys say? I understand that Continuity will be an issue for a game like resident evil when they make prequels. Resident evil is one of the only games I have ever seen that has such set dates. So when you add a prequel in it sometimes can mess things up. But why do you think Rebecca has seemed to have lost all memory of the Marcus Facility (for a shorter name) and seems to have less experience when we find her in the first one?

You can't really say she has less experience. I never got that vibe from her in RE1. She was just much younger than Chris and was a newer member. Obviously at the time they made RE1 and even REmake, they did not think to have her talk about things that have passed because RE0 wasn't out yet. So it is hard to argue in favor of the continuity. But I really wouldn't have expected her to act much differently than she did. First of all, she maced Chris, so there was some time between "meeting" and actually meeting lol. Also, it could be argued that she just didn't feel like going through a bunch of crappy history of her past night. There were more important things to worry about. And, of course, she didn't want to tell anyone about Billy.

Yes of course. Billy being an escaped convict and all. With it being her fault I could see how that would tarnish her Law enforcement career

To me it just seemed she acted too surprised when she would see a zombie, or Hunter. I do agree that continuity will be an issue when a game that has not even been made yet gets brought into conversation in one that has already been made.

I suppose I am sort of looking at it from a continuity standpoint.

Yeah, there really isn't anything that can be done about it. I mean, she officially would have said something or acted differently. We just don't get to see it.

I think its time to remake Every resident evil with everything new added to the story so it all makes sense lol

If I were a director, I'd just make a series of movies doing that.

Well someone should do it!

I think there are a lot of new titles that Capcom could really benifit from if they gave them the chance.

Though S.D. Perry's books are not the greatest novelization that could have been done, but they were a good read, especially the ones that were their own story, Caliban cove, and Underworld.

You should really check those two titles out, they are very fun, though being only 230 pages. If resident evil made those into games with the classic gameplay, not over the shoulder I could see a lot of nostalgic value in that

I've only read her Umbrella Conspiracy book and it was freaking great. Loved it.

Yes The first was great. I loved it too. But my favorite is still Underworld. I guess I loved the fact that she made her own story.

Caliban Cove was nice since we got to meet Rebecca again with some more STARS members. I wish there was a way to get the last originals in English...

That would make so much sense. And money for Capcom. Too bad they screwed up the original idea with the live action movies.

Oh god I know! I was so upset when I found out they were only in german and Japanese. Code veronica just left of on a clif hanger!!!

You know what's funny, she has that mace as one of her melee's in RE5. But for the right reason, as I don't think any of those Majini want to be her friend....or maybe they do, who knows.

But yes, it's just a continuity thing. That said, she was probably the most inexperienced member in STARS.

Which makes me question why Kevin Ryman failed to become a member, twice. Perhaps she just added the medic thing to the group...

Isn't that one of the main reasons she was accepted? Although being inexperienced she excelled in chemistry and medicine. I think I read somewhere that it was Kevin's friendly and casual personality that made him ultimately fail in becoming a STARS.

I think she should be considered the most experienced in the group, because she spent the most time dealing with the T-virus.

But yes continuity will be an issue, Resident evil 0, of course being a prequel will not settle into the time line as nicely as we would like.

I mean I suppose it is the day before, because Wekser and Birkin are having their little time together, and Wekser still manages to get the the Mansion with the rest of Alpha team.

I'm talking about just the STARS in general, definately before, and just leading up to the Mansion Incident, not with the events of RE1, or RE0 for that matter, as a credential or experience.

She was in that regard, the least experienced. Definately combat wise. The medical experience is what she brought. I'm pretty sure Kenneth(J. Sullivan) had some sort of chemistry knowledge, of course that didn't help him, just pointing that out.

If you mean Becca has the most experience, that is after RE1, I'd still say she doesn't. Chris & Jill probably have that one. We haven't seen much of Barry or Rebecca since though.

@Mass, I read that Kevin has a happy-go-lucky attitude. I think it said he would rather shoot now, ask questions later. I think it was in the booklet for Outbreak.

And yeah, her medic stuff is probably the main reason she was accepted. It surely wasn't her marksmanship.

Oh yeah, that's right. I only have the booklet for File#2 left, though :/

I didn't use to have File#1's, but I bought another copy, as mine was scratched, and didn't have the booklet. It also had a crappy case.

I lived with the manual of File#2. It still had some useful information even if it was for the second game.
