Resident Evil 7 - Discussion

Yeah, you can see it like that. If that person grew up into a degenerate, but was a genius back when he was a kid.

That's just my thought, but you're entitled to your own opinion. Even though 4 was my first game, I played the older games afterwards (Can't understand a sequel w/o playing/watching the originals can you?). I saw this coming.

Unless its RE3, and the story can be partially revealed through beating the game and collecting files. Or if it is RE2...

True, but I'm no file collector (except when I wanted Jill's Diary in Nemesis). I chose. But I agree with you on 3. It was pretty much RE2 with a few plot holes tied up and the same disaster, but from a different perspective. Who's idea was it to make this a numbered sequel?

CV/X was going to be 3, but they were on a tight schedule. So, it was an incidental but awesome choice.

Oh yea that's right. My personal headcanon is that RE3 is RE2: The Lost Adventure, and that Code Veronica was the true 3. Resident Evil 3: Code Veronica.

Canonicity (My Prospective):

RE0, RE1, RE3 1+Outbreak 1, RE2+Outbreak 2, RE3 2, CVX, Survivor, -Gaiden- (Leon escapes, but people believe he disappeared on that ship, asked to work for gov. afterward),Operation Javier (?), RE Dead Aim, RE4, RE Degeneration-Damnation-Revelations,RE5,RE6. Think that's it...

It's claimed that Gaiden is non-canon, but your explanation sounds like it can work.

They think that, but my explanation involves a fierce fight with Barry and Fake Leon after RE Gaiden. F.Leon didn't stand a chance. The submarine they escaped in is sunk, trapping the F.Leon inside while pressure builds. Eventually, they are picked up by Ark Thompson and Crew.

Turns out Capcom only needs a short amount of story to make a non-canon game and a nearly non-canon game canon. Hope it's not Chris' canon...

Imagine if Barry knew about the timeline "Jill canon" would be canon.

They really don't need any sort of story really. I've been playing DMC: Devil May Cry and I just seem to be phasing through the narrative. I'm unsure if I actually progressed or if the game is just saying I progressed because it's giving me all these different weapons and mechanics. It was the same way or Resident Evil 6, but instead of items it was locations. The locations constantly changed, but I felt like there was no real impact in the story.

One thing I didn't understand was that why did Ada instantly assume The World has gone mad just because the C-Virus was in China and Jake when he heard about the Tall Oaks outbreak? We only know about what? Five outbreaks. If they wanted us to think that most of the world was infected, they would have given us more outbreaks.

And they could have said that in one of the files and/or interviews.

Incorrect. CV/X is considered the "true" sequel by the developers but the real RE3 was going to be about HUNK on a ship. They had to scrap that due to multiple reasons and a spinoff called Biohazard: Gaiden got made into RE3 with some modifications made along the line. you can read the whole story in a nutshell here: http://www.residentevilforums.net/t4876-hunk-s-own-game-new-re3-concept-facts

I also feel to urge to mention this: Gaiden is officially not canon and it was supposed to coincide with Code: Veronica. Its departure from the real canon can be seen in the 10th Anniversary Wesker's Report when they took the mention of it out, along with Wesker's line about Sherry.

Not sure how I feel about this.. but Resident Evil 7 may have been revealed.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-7-revealed/1100-6415532/

I think it was already kind of given that RE7 was going to be a thing.

I think the one thing that scares me most is that they were working on the mocap one month after RE6 was released and finished it in January.

I think they meant that the costume design was finished during that time and not the mocap. If thats so that means that the game is on the very basic level of development, such as concept art and outfit design, only after it starts the character and environment design/modeling and then animation thus involving mocap. Really doubt that story of RE is developed so that its ready for mocap. They must not rush with this title, since evil within is coming and its a kick ass, so if capcom fucks up once more they will be trashed by the horror society. . .

Aren't they being trashed already?

Anyway, considering how many revisions a single RE game goes through in its development I doupt they are very far in it. So uh... What Chris said.

Well it could be said so, but not the way they will be if they mess up pleasing fans with the next title. There still are (and the number is quite high) people that have enjoyed and even more so loved game, like i for instance loved it. There are no complains on the way story develops or the way game looks, its actually about that they did too much for one single game so that the fuse couldn't take it and it ended up with the burned PSU. Yes the game is being "trashed", but it's still considered to be a good one. I actually loved the video review that was on the link posted by Vandal . . .

Yes. I misread the article, I should really read those thoroughly, but the thought of it was more like "what. How was that possible?"

I liked Resident Evil 6 the first time I played it. Then I played it again, and realized I didn't like it all too much. I played it a third time and hated it. I dunno, I normally played Resident Evil games until I found every last secret, I'm still playing Resident Evil 4. But with Resident Evil 6, it had little replay value.

I mean... you can't even change your costumes in the campaign.

What more is there to cover in the RE series? We've had over half a dozen games on the subject. Is there anything left to be covered? Granted that Claire hasn't had much exposure since Degeneration, but is there ever going to be a time when everything is wrapped up?
