Remember when we though Jake was Hunk?

What is everyone's favorite designs?
Jill has some of the best:
Anyone know why there are two versions of this image? The other
At least Not a Hero leaves a good opening for HUNK to return.
As Umbrella is a PMC that contains many personnel from the original Umbrella Corporation, it would make sense if HUNK may be a senior agent/handler/OPSO that is partially responsible for the PMC turn.
Many fans do have weird expectations. The most notable was that Chris in RE5 was Billy Coen.
love S.T.A.R.S.Definitely going to get both, man I wish they'd make a Jill and/or Rebecca that scales with those.
STARS Chris(RE5) and Jill
and STARS in general
Rebecca's red uniform
Revelations Chris and Jill(besides Jill's face)
Both are actually two of the most practical uniforms in the series but still maintain their looks but bypass the old
"why is Chris(and others) wearing body armor and Jill is wearing hardly anything" that bugs me with STARS, Umbrella Chronicles and Lost in Nightmares.
i forgot about red uniform Chambers. i'll take some snaps on psx.

Seeing Furisco post earlier on Umbrella Corps, I decided to start it back up (Since I played on PS4 originally and not PC).
Too bad the game is fucking dead online on PC. Can't imagine it is much better on PSN. Regardless of that A lot of what he said holds true.
The game is easily the "messiest" canon RE game. But there are definitely some good ideas peppered in there. I think a few things would've saved this game.
1. Better Performance on Consoles - The game runs like shit on PS4. If they had been able to better manage Unity. A 60FPS locked game would've done wonders for the game feel.
On PC the feeling is night and day.
2. Get rid of the level unlock stuff for guns - It takes forever to rank up in this game. Especially when you're playing one life modes. They really shoudl've opted perhaps for a point or loot system.
Similar to overwatch rather than following something like COD.
3. Fix the animations - The game feels fine to play and usualyl looks fine for what it is. But everyone made fun of the ice skating. Whether you're walking or crawling. Dunno how they could've done that. But would've saved it from jokes.
4. Better Experiment Mode - Thank God they added something to play since the online population is null. But it's not very good. It's also unbalanced. The entire campaign turns into just using the brainer melee (not the lock-on) attack.
Since it's quick and does more damage while not leaving you open.
5. Better Balance - I aint touching this one much. But it needed more time in the cooker with this. My limited time playing online had the game turning into a Brainer Fest. Everyone regardless of mode would just run in and see if they could melee someone to death.
Since the game is way faster than typical shooters, a lot of people couldn't figure out what to do. Especially since the counter move (GIF in Furisco's original post) isn't even taught in the Training Mode.
6. Bot Mode - This is the big one and I wish they had done this before cutting off support. Literally the only way to try and play this game online now is with a group of friends.
Regardless I had fun for what it was when I did get the chance to play it. Was hoping to get a ranked match in so I could have some sort of stats show on my RE.net page but oh well.
Also have Hunk Chris with a Pink Magnum and Oversized Scope

I also think the character proportions looked kinda weird, it's even worse when you're using a classic character head on them.
This game had many cool ideas like destroying the enemy's zombie jammer and seeing all the dogs chasing them around, the Brainer was dope as fuck and despite the game not looking that good i love the idea of a pvp game focused on Umbrella operators, they look super cool.
Wish we could get a good version of this game along with that Mercenaries/Raid game but i doubt we'll ever get it. I have a feeling that Capcom would never do something like that.

We should play this shitty game someday.

I hope one day we get some kind of F2P/GAAS Mercenaries/Raid Mode game. Something built like Warframe, but with that beautiful and stylized TPS RE combat. Sadly I think Umbrella Corps might have bungled the prospects for something like a GAAS Mercs game, but I still think the audience could be there.
Revelations 2' RAID had the right starting idea for a GAAS release.
There is so much content that lends itself towards it, especially if they kept the simulation theme and you can drop in low quality stuff without needing much work or explanation.
Just imagine the full mansion(REmake or even PS1) dropped in as a Ghost Ship style map(camera angles and all),
LiN Mansion as a map, etc.
Every weapon of the series.
Every relevant character with every single costume.
So much money and potential on the table.
Rather an ORC sequel than a Umbrella Corps 2.
In fact they really just need create more multiplayer RE titles that more than just 2 player co-op. Would love a multiplayer RE RPG with levels set in Raccoon City, Arkley Mountains, Kijuju etc, and raids set in locations within them like RPD, Spencer Mansion etc.
Wouldn't have to be canon, though could make original areas for a canon story and the other locations just for added gameplay.

I don't think anyone knows, but I am curious how Vendetta performed. I hope they keep doing them, I have enjoyed each one well enough and I even think despite issues I have with each of them I've liked each one more than the last.
Given every CG films has released close to a game, so I guess whenever RE8 comes around, and it'll probably be set between RE7 & RE8.

Wait, what's the teaser? I watched the last movie recently, 2 months ago but don't remember. (I
guess the girl daughter of the sub boss bad guy?
So many cool things they could do,
imagine a none canon ORC sequel that was something like Chris(pointman/marksman), Jill(special weapons), Rebecca(medic) and Barry(weapons guy*) in 4 player co-op
*hoards the team ammo, can make ammo with gunpowder, upgrade weapons, etc.
I also find the idea of something like The Division with a Resident Evil theme pretty appealing as a spinoff.
If they ever do this they need let players stack character picks so can all play their favourites. In ORC and Outbreak you'd get players back out if they couldn't play their favs.
Yeah, especially if you're leveling character-specific skills.
But the idea of a free-to-play Mercs sounds terrible to me. I think they had a great concept with Mercs 3D (3DS), and it deserves to be its own game. But they needed to put real effort into the package, which they didn't with Mercs 3D. I'll gladly pay full retail price for a dedicated Mercs game, but give us the whole roster of characters, gives us a shit-ton of maps, a deep, deep unlock system, plenty of stuff included in the package so that even if they do include DLC, players won't feel gouged by what isn't part of the standard game.
Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the philosophy of most publishers these days. The trend seems to be going in the exact opposite direction.
A problem with Capcom is outside of Street Fighter their DLC plans seem finalised before release and they just deliver that and move on. They could have supported RE5/6 Mercs for years with new characters, costumes or even maps, the playerbase was very active. But they did nothing outside of what was pre-planned.
Yup
Its funny really this is one of the few series i'd want to be milked and Capcom just avoids easy milking.
I could have pictured myself putting like an additional $100 into RE6
Just posting this here for those who haven't seen it yet. Flour Bunny over at the modding forums actually remade a couple of REmake rooms and rendered them in true HD. You can some of the rooms working in-game on his Youtube channel:
MAIN HALL:
Looks nice, would be good if we could get these to replace the backgrounds in the HD version.
i think i'm getting slower at these resident evil games... i'm replaying 4 and going at such a slow pace with ashley. i guess forgetting enemy placement gets me spooked.
i'm at chapter 2-3 and got out of the church and heading up the to where the chickens used to be. dark and raining. can't see too far ahead visibility wise but the red 9 is killing things.
don't have a shotgun and my og size my case is full of red,green, and white ammo. hopefully the next size case is around the corner.

People were wondering about that after Mercenaries 3D was released.
Like, they went for Umbrella Corp rather then the Mercenaries game to end all Mercenaries games. Easy god damn money right there.
It's funny as well considering everyone was theorising that the blonde woman from 5 was Sherry.
I reached out to Ashley's voice actress when the 6 trailer came out asking if she was reprising her role, and after she said it wasn't Ashley I pretty much believed it was Sherry.
The ARTFX Chris and Leon Vendetta figures are up for pre-order! Leon is set to come out in May and Chris in June. I've got something else in June so I'll probably skip Chris for now.
What is everyone's least favorite designs?
I'd list my least favorite, but I'd just post the fashion nightmare that is the cast of Revelations.

Oh sweet RE Community
So I finally have the chance of playing the Not A Hero DLC and really, it's okay.
I don't care for Chris's new design. Super bulky Chris doesn't work for me either, but going from the original/CVX design to the RE5/Revelations/RE6 visuals actually felt more consistant
compared to his look in RE7. I imagine him going greyish though, the man will be 45 next year. But regarding the DLC campaign its pretty tame. Having his rock shattering punch back is fun,
but it feels so by book. The White Molded aren't fun and a bit of a lame way to up the difficulty. Plus, you venture through the mines again, the least exciting part of the base game. It is a good thing
its only an hour long, because more would have overstayed its welcome.
Btw, about the story itself;

Is Chris together with Leon the record holder for most team mates/squad members lost in the RE universe? Going on a mission with either one of them is like having a deathwish. Chris is like the last person you'd want to go on a mission with.
I never really liked REmake Chris's design.
Original will always be the best.
RE5 Chris is also great.
Original will always be the best.
RE5 Chris is also great.
i'm with you on the classic re1 design =)I never really liked REmake Chris's design.
Original will always be the best.
RE5 Chris is also great..
Worst design? Definitely all Jessica's outfits in Revelations. Other than that I never really liked Jill's outfit in RE3. As a combat specialist skirt and top really aren't very practical.
Speaking of which, would appreciate knowing what happened to those supporting characters who haven't shown up since they were introduced.
Billy I just imagine ended up starring in his own version of First Blood but with more leech zombie flashbacks.
Carlos, Sheva, and Josh just kinda fucked off somewhere. Yeah not nearly as big as characters like Chris, Claire, Leon, or Jill, but hey, would still like to see what those guys are up to.
And of course, needs moar HUNK.
As far as worst designs go, the Molded are just kinda meh. Glorified Mucks and Grimers if you ask me.
All of Jessica's outfits are disastrous. And Rachel with the world's worst spy haircut.
In a cut level Rachel had normal hair and during the intro was attacked and mutilated so she used her hair to cover the wound.
Yeah I'd even say the RE5 STARS is more similar to the original in game model.I never really liked REmake Chris's design.
Original will always be the best.
RE5 Chris is also great.
One thing I really disliked with the original REmake Chris is that his hair looks more like a weird afro than spiked hair.
I honestly think the Molded looks cool but people hate them because that's the only thing you fight the entire game. The first time i saw him in the demo i was so fuckin hyped.

RE5 Chris isn't bad but he looks like an idiot sometimes, his proportions are a little off. They fixed some things in RE6 and he looks really good in that game.
The early versions of the game detailed in concept art and leaked info sounded a lot cooler than the final game too.

But the best Chris will always be RE5 beta Chris. They really fucked up when they changed that for what we have now in the final build of RE5.

I'm not really a fan of most of the incarnations of STARS Chris, unlike Jill I don't consider it a definitive look for him (or even an interesting alternate like for Wesker).
Speaking of which, the RE2 model was kind of awkward - it looks more like RE7 Chris than anything.

Just started RE6 again after being blessed with a key. And now that I got the control scheme set up effectively on my MMO mouse, I gotta say that being able to pull off all of the dodges and rolls easier now is making things more fun. Timing for counters is easier on me now since mouse clicks are far faster than button presses.
Starting with a Sherry run.

Just gave him elbow pads since it was a battle mode I guess.

Im a bit mixed on that version of Chris,
The resemblance to REmake is way more obvious(for better or worse)
build is better
uniform design is worse, but works better overall(tight shirt baggy pants on RE5 build Chris can really look goofy at times proportionately)
RE5 Chris is a good idea with poor execution outside of the head

- RE3 Jill - her design is now iconic, but the tube top and mini skirt during zombie apocalypse isn't the best an ex-special ops could wear
- RE4 Ada - that long red dress, a floating scarf and high heels on a mission in rural Spain; no, just no.
- I'm torn on Jessica, since while her costumes are stupidly sexy, they fit with her overall character (unlike eg. Jill's RE3 one)
- RE0 young James Marcus - he looks like a Final Fantasy reject
- I'm not a fan of RE7 Chris, but that's more due to him looking nothing like previous versions of Chris; his overall design, on its own, is good
Honestly I think i'd have been a tad more receptive to RE7 Chris if his first appearance wasn't in bland generic Umbrella gear.
at the very least give him a green vest with it.
