Resident Evil 7 - Discussion

Quote :

Yeah, I learned from my mistake with RE5. When it came to RE6 I was living under a rock. And you know, it worked, because RE6's story was great, and had plenty of suprises. I remembered watching the cutscene that showed Spencer, and Jill's unmasking, and Wesker's death all before I played RE5. Very dissapointing. Stupid Youtube.

I use to be really bad for that myself. I use to watch ALL the cut scenes for any Final Fantasy game that was coming out, before it was released. It took a lot of fun out of playing it, so I just stopped looking up updates for any games I'm thinking about playing.

Jake was a cool character. Some characters might not mix well though. I remember Leon and Jake having a bit of a beef. I can't really imagine those two teaming up. I wouldn't expect to see Jake and Jill either, or Claire, or Becca. Actually Rebecca seems like his kind of lady. RE6 Sherry reminds me of her a bit.

I think Jake is the type he's going to have beef with practically anyone x] But yes, I can see Rebecca&Jake having chemistry similar to Sherry&Jake, although I'm not sure if they'll take that route again.

Yeah, I don't think I'd actually like to see them together either. I'm going to save Rebecca for maybe a possible reunion with Billy at some point. That's really all the potential I see for her character. Though she did have a bigger role in the novels.

As for Jake, I guess he could have a beef with most characters.

The thing with Leon though, while Jake did relax a bit after Sherry jumped between the two, I can still see something there. I doubt they're good buddies now, but yeah, there's definately something there. I mean, it happens sometimes when you get certain personalities together. Like GL and PublicEnemy.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to see Rebecca and Billy return to the scene. It's been far too long. Same with Claire.

Yes, that's true. I'm with you.

Definately Claire, but her time is about to come with her new RE6 DLC.

As for Billy/Becca, really, I'm so uninterested in Rebecca that having Billy show up again with her is the only way to keep my attention. I would enjoy seeing them paired together again. It could be a real fun experience. Heck, there could even be something romantic going on.

I really like Sherry!!! I hope they will include her in RE7...and i hope there will be a love triangle between helena-leon and ada!! ahahhahahahah...

I really like RE6 i don't care what hipsters says about it, i really think its good.

Resident Evil 7....

2 years after the Simmons Betrayal...

Neo-Umbrella is still in an unknown state of repair. Piers Nivans is dead, having saved Chris Redfield. Sherry and Jake successfully cured the C-Virus. Leon and Helena are now at the head of government security protecting the new President, Kyle Jackson. Ada Wong disapeared with out a trace. However, a terrorist attack on the city of Miami leaves the country in another state of emergency. For ex-cop Kevin Ryman, this is no laughing matter. He has survived Raccoon, and doesn't want to deal with the nightmare he has already left behind. Also inside the city is Claire Redfield, on vacation. With this familiar scenario comes new terrors. The B.S.A.A. are called in, but unknown to them, a traitor awaits. The mercenary Nicholai Genovaef has been hired to sabatoge the B.S.A.A. by Neo-Umbrella. A new bio-chemical has been perfected, and Neo-Umbrella will stop at nothing to destroy all who appose them. However, old enemies become allies as the former U.S.S. agent HUNK rises from the shadows to finish the company who has left him for dead, teaming up with former U.B.C.S. mercenary Carlos Oleveira to help fight against the company. Jill and Barry, still within the B.S.A.A. are also together in this horrific battlefield. As survivors work together to survive the mutation onslaught, the United States may just have to retaliate the same way they did with Raccoon...

Apparently The setting of RE7 is set and shown at Ada's Campaign ending, which I have not seen yet. I'm like at chapter 3 of Ada. She is the only campaign I haven't beaten yet.

Well though out, PWNERX. I give toast to that.

One thing though: What makes Carlos team up with HUNK? What has happened for him to step on the stage again?

That could also allude to the rumored fifth campaign DLC that's supposed to be set after the events of RE6.

Woah there's going to be a possible fifth campaign? Damn I was completely unaware

Yep, with Claire in her "Last Hope" scenario, setting he stage for Resident Evil 7.

I'm not entirely on board with PWNERX's ideas actually. They all seem far fetched.

That's Seargent Nicholai Ginovaef and Corporal Carlos Oliveira.

Okay...that aside, there's wayyy too many little cameos in your RE7. Maybe the Antagonist of RE7 should just send invitations and free 1st class seats to pick up all of these characters and send them to Spooky Island.

I do like the idea of seeing Kevin, and some of the other Outbreak characters again. Maybe not all of them, otherwise I'd be singing, "It's a small world after all...", but select ones. I mean, surely some of them knew eachother, maybe some of them saw Alyssa on tv doing some journalism and thought to contact her? IDK, just saying.

Actually it's neither. The name "Ginovaef" was in the original English translation of the game but it has later been said to actually translate to "Zinoviev". Not that it really matters anyway.


A lot of the Outbreak cast survived together so it wouldn't be that much of a surprise to see some of them band up again.

Why isn't this pinned already?

Umm, I have RE3 on GC and Ps1, as well as Archives, and they all say Ginovaef. That's legit to me.

Just like how that File in Survivor written by Nicholai, talking about Albert, William and Nemesis, was later said to be a mistranslation.

I don't know where they said, Zinoviev, was the the name, but in the canon games I have, it's Ginovaef, so until Nicholai canonically shows up again, and his last name is Zinoviev, I'm going with the currently canon, Ginovaef.

Welll...we don't know which endings are canon. Surely all 8 of them were in the chopper at the end of Outbreak. And there's actually a few different ways of survival in File#2. I recall one in which you take a humvee and put the pedal to the metal and get the hell out of Raccoon. I believe you can also escape in the USS carrier, with Rodgrigo and that Umbrella chick who had the vaccine.

Sure, yes, as the name has already been established it is Ginovaef but in reality that was only a translation error. That's why I said it doesn't really matter anyway. Zinoviev is still the actual name.

The Nicholai in Survivor wasn't really a mistranslation but the translators trying to add a connection to previous games. For some reason that used to happen quite a lot with games back in the day. Annoying, really, as it messes up the canon in some regions.

Stickied. I would say it's a bit too early for that, though. Let's give it a year or so, or at least a more prominent hint of the game.

All I can really say to these: Carlos lives in Miami, HUNK want's revenge, cuz The guys over at Umbrella kinda left him to die at a certain mission (Flashback Chapter) but he lives. Nicholai want's money, Neo Umbrella hires him for a operation, by getting him inside BSAA enemy lines. Kevin knew Leon (for a bit, Outbreak file 1 reference) and lives in Miami as well. Claire is fresh into vacation in Miami. Jill and Barry still work in the BSAA, cuz Barry didn't die in RE1. And let's just leave Alyssa in that "Report the disaster, get only the facts" kind of mood. Eventually, Jill and Barry are gonna scrape up some stuff, Carlos and Hunk snoop around, find said stuff, find Jill and Barry. They uncover a old Umbrella conspiracy with a certain somebody now at the reigns of Neo Umbrell. They call in support that never comes. Meet Nicholai. Jill vaguely recognizes him, and later notices the guy. He says it was a BOW attack, and was only survivor. Battle ensues after jill finds out the truth. He gets away, they persue.

I don't think Helena is going to be in the next game. Like someone previously said, partners in the newer games are most likely not to return. (Sheva, Piers, Helena) with the exception being Jake and Sherry. They are pretty big to the franchise at this point, and I'm looking forward to seeing Jake in action again. I think Jake might sit out RE7 and make a return in RE8, but Sherry might return next one to meet up with Claire again.

I don't think that's likely either. I think Jake is going to be in the next game. Capcom was really pushing Jake, he has two endings, and they did state that they want fans to like him. So I'm just assuming he's going to be in the next one. PWNERX is coming up with some wild ideas... do you just so happen to live in Miami? Why would Hunk and Carlos be there or all places? And it's rather convenient for Claire to be vacationing in Miami too.

Though if rumors are true about Claire having a DLC campaign in Resident Evil 6 that sets the stage for Resident Evil 7, then I think we can expect both Jake and Claire to at some extent work together in the next main series title.

Why would Claire have a DLC campaign in RE6 if she didn't make an appearance in any of the other four. She wasn't even mentioned.

I said "if rumors are true." Implying it was rumored.

http://www.residentevilforums.net/t4499-news-rumors-new-on-resident-evil-front-revelations-hd-orc2-and-claire-in-re6

I'm pretty sure the rumors are true. Just seems legit for some reason.

I was kind of hoping that 6 would tie up a lot of loose ends, since many of the series' major players were featured in the game. Instead we kind of got more questions than answers. I want to see a bit more of a scaled-back story that doesn't involve a whole lot of globe-trotting, and some new characters that aren't totally capable. I think the current generation of characters are a little played out by now, and would be better off in support roles.

I agree, I found 6 really left a lot open (which isnt a bad thing) but I found it almost left too much open.

Yeah, but it's the actual name where?

Nobody is really playing RE3, "Oh, his name is actually Zinoviev."

That makes sense. I mean, 2 endings? Come on, there's some reason for that. And where did Capcom state they wanted fans to like him?

That'd be an interesting pairing, Jake and Claire.

Claire seems like she can pretty much get along with anyone, except Senator Ron Davis, but it could work between the two. Obviously Claire being a Redfield, and Jake having that whole, "Chris Redfield killed my father" thing...

And it'd be better than Claire babysitting again.

Right? We still don't know what "S" stands for, except for "Stylish", and we never heard anything else on Tricell. Nothing on Jill.

They did give us Sherry, and we've been waiting for her for a longgg time, so let's at least take that.
