Welcome to Gaia! ::

RE is in critical condition.
If you listen to me I'm clearly not disputing the fact that the Plagas was a terrible idea.If I were in charge of 4,believe me that game would have been different.But Palagas aside,RE did need new enemies.NOT Palgas enemies,before you get wrong concluion,but new enemies.I would've kept the zombies,but other then that:Resident Evil was in an enemy crisis.The Hunters,were lame.Lickers got boring fast,and so on and so forth.The Virus wasn't entirely manmade.And the Giant Corperation you speak of,didn't develop the first Virus,they used Marcus as a puppet and stole it,then inhanced it.You say RE ended for you,so your going to quit the series all together just because of a few recent flaws?Their have been loads of other game series' that experieneced a few mess-ups along the way,have eventually fixed itself.You're being dismissive and negative.Re6 can be great.In fact,I'll make a deal with you right now;when Resident Evil 6 is finally released,and the game fallows it's path to horrid poltlines,I'll forever bow to you as the all knowing Wizard of Resident Evil.BUT if it turns out into an ALRIGHT addition to the series,you need to start giving RE a few more chances.Do we have a compromise?

Your missing the point,those were different creatures with different strengths,but they all fallowed the same basis.Originality isn't just about fallowing the original,it's about keeping it to the story,having it make sense,and keeping variety.All those different monster had a lot of noteable variety,but I kept on getting this feeling of a subtle repetition.What I'm saying is:Should the new Virus been another inhanced T-virus?No.Should it have been the Palagas?No.

Really?It was released in 5?I didn't learn it from five.Just by playing 0 I deducted my conclusion on how Umberella took the Progenitor.In fact,that was the plot.From my perspective at least.Marcus kept to himself about his development in the Progenitor,and was irrataing Spencer because he was spending more time on research then Umberella.Then once Spencer found out about the Progenitor,and what it could do,Spencer let Marcus continue his research.Once developed to a stage where it could be used for Spencer's personal desires,he would take it.When that event reached it's date,Spencer ordered the hit on Marcus,and in a final desperation to save his work,Marcus released his Progenitor experiments.The Queen of which slithered down the Near Dead Marcus' throat and combined itself with Marcus,identifying him as the creator.This fusion gave Marcus life and the power to control the leeches,because of the Queen being apart of him.With the new advantage,he set out to extract his revenge on Spencer,Wesker,and Birkin,or anyone else that got in the way;which happened to be Billy and Rebecca.


As I said before,if I had a time machine I'd got back before 4,and fix the things that made it a bad RE.There would be no Palagas.They wold not be in Spain.NO Saddler.Maybe Krauser depending.Ada would still be a triple-crossing agent,but the sample she retrieves would be another MANMADE virus.Wesker would still play the Minor part he played.Ashly Graham wouldn't be the President's daughter.She'd be a regular citizen that gets captured for testing the new Virus on,because she doned blood and she was like the perfect type to be tested on or something.Leon's only tie to the story would be that he is a Detective searching for the missing girl,then discovers the new virus and the attemt to restore Umberella.There would be new and inhanced zombies,Hunters,crows,ect. due to the ne virus.There also wouldn't be as many weapons,and very little ammo.Does that sound like a better version of 4?


You are making a mountain out of an ant hill.And yes,if 6 is worth it,that is exactly what I expect.It was done with Mario.I believe it was 2 when it was just awful,but when 3 came out,everyone said this is great im gonna play this and pretend 2 never happened.And that is still what people are waiting for with Sonic.All these new titles that are awful are just being ignored until..BLAM there's a terrific one,and people will say I'm going to pretend those others didn't happen and play this one.

Even if you see no point,I ask you to play it anyway.If it's horrid and you just play it anyway Then I'll jump on the band wagon with you.And have full confidence that RE is dead.How about that?

Well, the whole series was based on T-Virus. Even when there's G-Virus, there's still T-Virus. Even when there's T-Veronica virus, most of the monsters were still made from T-Virus. So yeah, naturally there would be some consistency. You said should it have been Plagas? No. And you're right. But if no, then that's not really offering a solution.


Well, you got some of your facts mixed up too.

Right, you said it right there. He was developing the progenitor. We didn't know where he got the basis for it, or what it even was. All we knew was that he discovered a new virus and was developing it. And the Progenitor wasn't even the main virus of the series, it was T-Virus, which WAS made by humans. Even if they used naturally occuring viruses to synthesize it... That only makes it that much more believable.

Except he didn't. He got killed, Birkin continued his research, that's it. The queen entered his body, but it cultivated there for ten years before he 'resurrected' and sabotaged the lab and then three months later, the train.

Well sure, but that's the problem. We DON'T have a time machine. RE4 happened, and nothing's gonna change it. And I'm not gonna sit here going, "Oh well, I'll take what I can get."

Except Mario doesn't have a long, dedicated continuity, with a story arc that spans 4+ games. Not even now.

You're not looking at the big picture. Resident Evil isn't just a series of isolated games. It's one large plotline, that starts with Chris and Jill in the mansion (or Billy and Rebecca on the train, if you will) and proceeds onto the outbreak in the city, then the city gets nuked, three months later Claire ends up on Alfred's island... And then six years later RE4 happens... And it takes the whole plotline and just takes a big dump on it. Same with RE5. At this point the whole perspective of what the game used to be about is completely different, and it sucks. As soon as I saw the storyline trailer for RE5, I was almost ready to trade all my RE games away because it pretty much changed how I view the series, how I viewed the characters, at that point, the reasons why I started loving the series in the first place... NONE of them were there in RE4 or RE5. And it was twisting the way I viewed the series as a whole. So instead of abolishing the series whatsoever, I simply turned away from anything new and crappy that Capcom had created in regards to it. And as far as I'm concerned, it ended with CV, and anything that may or may not have happened after is up in the air, and I'm a happier person for it.

Well, I won't. Just like I didn't play RE5. Like I said, if it DOES suck, it will ruin the whole series for me just like RE5 almost did, and then I'll have to get rid of ALL my RE games. And I can't have that.

Holy s**t, missed it twice... My god... Excuse me while I go and wipe off my crotch, cause I just creamed my pants.
It looks like a remake of MK1 and 2... Dear lord Raiden... Can't wait!
I mean, I knew that it was in the works for a while, but to actually see a trailer.... EEEEE!!!!!!!!

Hey, before there was Uncharted, before there was Metal Gear Solid, before there was Resident Evil, there was Mortal Kombat.
The only thing that'd get a bigger reaction out of me is if they announced that a new Double Dragon game is in the works, but I have a feeling that won't be happening.

Meh, it has to be a little better than "not bad" for me to go see it.

So, I just finished the story mode of Peace Walker... I think I'm at about 45 hours, though I did get caught up in minigames every so often.... Man, what a trip. It really does live up to the Metal Gear Solid name as far as narrative goes. The boss fights in this game are by far the most different of all the MGS games... It's not a storyline spoiler, so feel free to read below:

There are no human character bosses in this game at all. Every single boss in this game is a machine. Either tanks or helicopters, or unmanned "Metal Gear" type weapons. And there's quite a few of them.

Also we find out Big Boss' and Otacon's year of birth.
Otacon was born in 1980, which makes him 25 at the time of MGS1. And Big Boss was born in 1935, which makes him 29 at the time of MGS3, and 37 at the time when Solid and Liquid snake were born, which completely shoots down Liquid's statement that Big Boss was in his late 50's when they enacted the Les Enfants Terribles project.

Actually, the Kojima Productions logo is the in-game logo for the FOX unit, not the FOXHOUND. FOX was disbanded in Portable Ops and at the same time that's when Big Boss and Roy Campbell established FOXHOUND.

Of course there are two variations of the FOXHOUND logo as well, there's the fox with the knife in its mouth (which has been around since MGS1 I believe) and the cartoon fox firing a gun which was in MG2, and the fake tattoo on Meryl's arm.

But Peace Walker isn't even about FOXHOUND, it's about Big Boss' other faction. You can guess which one.

What about Portable Ops?

Well, I guess most of the advertising I see is from E3 and stuff like that, and that's when the Developers talk about physics and whatnot.
Still, when I DO see adults get excited about LBP it's usually stuff like, "Check out the level this guy built!" or "I loved the MGS Add-on", it's never as simple as, "Yay! Fun!"

I saw this video blog recently that talks about fanboyism, and it brought on a good point. Half of fanboyism isn't about what you defend, but about bashing the other guys. It's as simple as that.
Personally, I still don't give a crap. I will probably own one of them one day, but even that depends on if there's gonna be a game that I REALLY want that requires the Move controller. Like, if they made an investigative adventure game (you know the ones I like) that required it, and they made it totally kick a**, like Indigo Prophecy mixed with Still Life, maybe. Then yeah, I'd probably buy the Move and use it for that. But if they said, "We're releasing Uncharted 3, and you can use the Move for that" I wouldn't. Again, unless I was left with no choice, but then I would only resent the Move controller more for forcing me to use it on a game that already had really amazing, and incredibly fun gameplay mechanics on the original controller.

Not really a fan. I played the first one and kinda... I dunno, it didn't hook me.
But really? RE? How so?
