[SPOILERS] Resident Evil 5 Ending Discussion [SPOILERS]

Seeing as the title clearly states spoilers, I won't be afraid to discuss them. I mean, every RE fan her beat RE5 by now, and I wanted to discuss the end. Now, when Wesker was injected by the Uroboros virus, it caused and unbalance in the dosage, thus making him weaker than normal and mutating to dispose of Chris and Sheva.

I thought the ending of RE5 was poor... I mean, was that the end of Wesker, the person that made the series?

Honestly, when Wesker was lying in the lava (which should of killed him in the first place) he was shot by two rockets from Chris and Sheva making the Classic RE ending. But, to me, it looked like the rockets didn't hit Wesker and he could of got away in the explosion. If he did, he will be disfigure... terribly.

Opinions guys?

Wesker is most likely dead however... there is a possibility that he could regenerate from a single molecule like Perfect Cell in DBZ did.

In any case his death was a good one and the battles with him where epic.

Really? I thought the battle could of been way more epic... now I thought the Jill Battle was great because the music was perfect and the fact that you love Jill so much (One of the great characters in the series) you didn't know what was going to happen to her after the battle.

He cant regenerate, but companies like Tricell can use anything that could be left from him to create another super human... Just like Degeneration ending...

Yea, I don't know if Tricell is all over the world... the Head of the Africa division, Excella, is dead... so I don't see that happening to bring Wesker back if he did die.

Well, not everyone has beat it, but I've already read plot summaries and seen the ending, so no biggie.

Anyhow, I don't think Wesker's dead. I watched the ending in slow-motion, and it looked to me like both rockets just grazed over him and detonated in the lava behind him.

The ending was pretty poor, and the rockets did go past him and probably "blew" him out of the lava, for the inevitable 6th part.

Thank god I'm not the only one, I knew they didn't hit him. Hes going to still be alive... you can't kill a vilian like Wesker is a crappy ending like that, sorry to say it.

I dont know why everyone is complaining about the ending. He had a good death if he is in fact dead and it was a very solid ending to everything. They didn't end it in a cliffhanger or anything so that could in fact be the ending.

Oh and besides... I know people are saying that he may of dodged the Rockets or w/e but the blast radius and the fact that he was in lava well Im pretty sure that would kill him.

If he doesnt die for the blast radius of the rockets and being in molten lava than we might just have to go Jason X and throw him through the earths atmosphere.

But again that sucked big time... No matter how powerful his mutation got... bloody hell Its lava ! xD

And those rockets missed... That sucked...

The rockets didnt miss.. they have a huge blast radius or else people in real life could just stand there and when you shot a rocket beside them nothing would happen unless it was a direct hit?

Direct hit doesnt mean anymore at that closeness than a near hit... It doesnt matter the explosion from those 2 rockets are gonna kill anything within proximity direct hit or not.

ITs a game... And Wesker is superhuman... Thats why... I know about explosion radius but its Wesker we are talking about...

HAHAH, you went all technical here. It matters in resident evil world, and in a resident evil world you need a direct hit with the rockets. Chapter 5 and 6 sucked big time for me, and the end fight was just pathetic.

Ya but if you notice there is a bunch of blood right when the explosion hit that also splashes up looking like he got blown to bits.



Also if your saying the end fight was pathetic than your crazy.... and obviously don't really like Wesker at all. If you meant pathetic as in easy... its rare that any game is hard these days so that argument is just null.

Oh and HAHA you didn't get all technical so I actually had scientifical evidence to back up what Im saying while your just making guesses kk thx bai.

Direct hit or not, its still a game, and you know taht G mutants can regenerate... And like i said its Wesker lol

Well like I said regeneration is the only way I see it happening.

Why is that though?

Yeah, true, the RPG-7 does have a large blast radius in RL. Good catch there. But it also has an arming radius (i.e., the rocket has to travel a certain distance before it'll arm and therefor detonate), meaning a shot at such a close range would have been pointless because the warhead hadn't yet armed when it reached Wesker. Then there's also the backblast itself to consider, which would have cooked Jill alive.

But, like Fro and kmlm13 pointed out, it's a video game and anything can happen in a video game. Meaning all that counts is a direct hit.

Actually the warhead would have plenty of time to arm from that distance and she wouldnt of been hit because they were to far up in the helicopter.

The game doesnt elaborate on the actual distance but Im sure its far enough away. The game does a pretty good job for a RE game of keeping weapons realistic.

Kind of like Chris's punch deals more damage than a gun.

Again, its a video game, anything can happen.

I think people are underestimating Wesker's virus. His virus is the closest Umbrella ever got to being perfect. Spencer almost had him controlled and he is basically unbeatable. I don't think the actual lava would have done much to him without the rockets. And even WITH the rockets, it would be naive to think he is dead. And @ Resident: I don't think the uruburos virus was injected into him. It just surrounded him after he punched through the missle containing it. What was actually injected into him is still unknown. We only know that it is used to control the virus within him. A virus which is still unnamed.

I wasn't talking about the impact blast, I was talking about the backblast that exits at the rear of the launcher.

Here's a visual aid.


Granted that's not an RPG, but it nonetheless illustrates the principle. And having watched the ending again, Jill was seated barely a foot behind and slightly to Chris' left. The backblast would indeed have made her a crispy little cookie.

Arming radius is 5 meters, a little over 16 feet. Having watched the ending again like I said above, there does look to be between 20 and 30 feet between Wesker and the helicopter. You were correct there.

Not all of them. It's impossible in RL for a person to carry and live-fire a minigun (if you're interested, I'll be glad to explain why). And the rounds fired from 40mm grenade launchers (like the M32 MGL used by Chris) have to travel a little over 1,300 feet before they arm.

Ghost, why can't someone use a minigun? Just too much kick? I don't know much about guns obviously. That backblast stuff is crazy though lol. So is the 1300 ft thing.

The gun alone weighs a bit over 60 lbs. I can carry a 5.56mm M249 and 1,000 rounds of belted ammunition for less weight than that. Add to that the weight of that pack filled with a 1,500- (full weight - 125 lbs) to 4,500-round (full weight - 295 lbs) linked belt of 7.62mm ammunition. Then there's the fact that you need an external motor and electrical power source (i.e., the engine of a helicopter) for the weapon to function, as well as for the feeding mechanism to work. Add to that the horrendous recoil generated when firing it, roughly some 150 - 300 lbs., would knock Chris on his ass in a second.

400 meter arming radius. It's a safety measure to prevent soldiers from blowing themselves and their buddies up.
