Sorry if im bringing this up again but i dont really feel like going through all the pages.. So does anyone know the deal with the Merchant in RE4 and how he has some type of underground tunnel or something to convienently serve Leon with a wide array of weaponry.. Where does he get his supply?And why are his eyes red like the ganado?

He's purely a gameplay device, as far as I know. Nothing to do with the story, he's just the guy who gets you your guns. Better some random fool in RE4 than someone we know and love, like our resident gun enthusiast Barry.

As scatterbrained as Capcom is, I really enjoyed the Umbrella stories. The REmakes were great, it gave me a chance to get into the earlier games without having to dig up the old ones.

I know 4 pretty much ended that story I loved so much, but I really enjoyed the controls, camera and aiming system. So much easier. I managed to steer myself right into every single zombie in Code Veronica.

I'm arguing with a friend. Was Steve Burnside killed or not?

ya steve died. he was wounded in the heart area and with the weapon was big enough to evlope the aera. Or. If capcom does the thing they did with wesker in re1, give him some lifegiving super virus or something. but as of re3. yeah. he sold the farm

Ugh, now I'm reminded of this AWFUL fan art from 2006 of the entire RE cast as babies.
I hated rugrats, man... eek  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, it's all relative. I mean, did Rugrats have better fleshed out storyline and characters and a more menacing villain (Angelica) than RE4 and RE5 combined? Yes.  

[Canas Renvall]

RE5? No.

Didn't you say RE4 and 5 don't exist? Why do you keep talking about them, then? rolleyes  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

They don't exist in the Resident Evil plotline. Just like I don't consider Batman Forever and Batman and Robin to exist in Tim Burton's Batman plotline.
But that worthless box and disc that says, "Resident Evil 5" or "Resident Evil 4" on it, does exist. Otherwise, how could you possibly throw it into the trash can?

It was a big let down for me.
I was expecting at least a few plot lines to be resolved in it, given that 6 is supposed to be a reboot. rolleyes
It's like:
Resident Evil: A series of poor decisions...
1: Introduces a total of 4(Barry, Carlos, Billy, Steve), somewhat interesting male protagonists, leaves their ending ambiguous, and does nothing with them.
2: Never resolves Sherry, but teases it for from 1998 to 2009.
3: Writes two diaries by the primary male antagonist, which hint at things that are never resolved, even years later.
4: Makes a spin-off game that includes hidden "files" about plot points which are never resolved. (Richard's sister)
5: Creates the STARS Bravo team and only really elucidates on one of them, forgetting to give two of them any dialogue (Kenneth and Forest).
6: Produces bonus material such as DVD extras, website timelines, and other such feelies which have storyline information that has either already been retconned or is still unresolved.
7: Allowing the statements made by company representatives at widely attended trade shows to contain already out dated canon or minconceptions about the plot. (Seriously, either I missed a game or the American Capcom representatives had no idea what they were talking about.)
8: Changing said canon too many DAMN times.
9: Taking 8 years to make a direct sequel that ends up skipping 6 years of plot.
10: Never really covering the 6 years outside of a couple of levels, in a spin off game no less, that take place in 2003. (Was Russia just unimportant?)
11: Introducing a villain with a past that is connected to your protagonist, but taking 3 years to tell people what that past is.
There are many more...btw
