Of course Leon killed him. We need to have a new President. Lackey does as he needs to so that the rightful one, aka Chris Goddamn Redfield, can take his place,Not exactly. Not only did POTUS die on his watch.... Leon killed him.
Leon Kingslayer.
So what's better? RE1, 2, and 3 or Code Veronica X + Resident Evil Degeneration?
You're overthinking it, having a baseless attachment to a character is the whole point... if you like Chris.
I wasn't aware other people didn't like her as well. Was it the voice actor? I can't stand her voice in the game. The voice actress is talented, but she changed Jill's entire character and demeanor to me. And she still just sounds like Fujiko.
The wetsuits? I was more than down with those. #datass
I haven't played the game, but was she really that bad? I know that they Lara Crofted her, but is there anything else you didn't like about her?
They made her look like Laura Croft Underaider and changed the really great RE5 voice actor.
REmake/RE5 Jill is the best Jill. I can't recall the voicework from Remake... but the VA only had a couple lines in Lost in Nightmare but they were really well done.
No I understand it perfectly. I like Sheva, and am upset that she will likely never appear outside of RE5. But Sheva is Claire, who was Jill, who is Helena and Sherry.
It was the face, man. The face. They took this:
Jill
And turned it into this:
XXX parody Jill
W...why??
Is CVX any good? I'd rather get the PS3 version, but if Code Veronica is good it would be stupid to pass it up over minor platform preferences.Degeneration was okay... nothing special. Worth watching maybe once, but Capcom really needs to step up their CG skills.
Sven:
"Yes. In fact, it should be available on PSN for download day of launch on the North American PSN Store. There's one remaining hurdle that could change that date slightly, but 10/2 is the target. Extra effort was made to make that happen for folks like yourself. Thanks."
Since we're this close and they haven't officialy delayed it yet, I take it we'll get it day one then!

Nobody feeling the love for Helena yet? She is new, but seems pretty interesting to me. Not just talking about her looks, either.
Late, but in case you really want to know...
A trope is a writing/literary convention that's easiest to compare to a stereotype (though stereotype usually carries a negative connotation while a trope is neutral). Things like the types of characters that appear in a particular kind of story or how a plot arc is expected to unfold can be categorized by tropes. Tropes are essentially a way to give name to the patterns that repeatedly surface in storytelling.
Regarding the subtitle for this thread, it implies that RE has long since jumped the shark and is left with little identity because it's riddled with familiar tropes--so many tropes, in fact, that there are no more left to draw from. It plays on the RE6 "no hope left" advertising, yes.
It's good but it's also on PSN/XBLA for $10 if you really want to play it.
Woot. Good news. Thanks.

Definitive version and all that?
It's fascinating to watch the game series (and its supporting films) move closer and closer to being like the film series. I fully expect Alice to premiere at some point.
I don't understand why Capcom keeps changing voice actors.
Was Claire at least voiced by Alyson Court in ORC? Because that would make her the only character whose voice hasn't changed even though she appeared in several games and a movie.

Same here. She had potential.

I've only played CV on PS2.
I did download the RE Chronicles HD Selection off PSN though. Really great stuff for those looking for a quick run through RE0-3 in a way.
Yeah, at least according to IMDB, Alyson Court still voiced Claire in Operation Raccoon City.
I don't understand why Capcom keeps changing voice actors, either. Ada had the same voice actress until OCR, and they changed Leon's voice AGAIN. What's the dealio?

This sums up my thoughts on all of the Resident Evil protagonists. Leon vs. Chris is a false choice, because they're the same damn character. Saying you prefer one over the other just reveals which fantasy male aesthetic you enjoy looking at more, pretty boy or military He-Man.

I haven't played them... I might buy 'em this week since I have Move. But the little bit I watched, they really seemed to have added some production value. The voice acting and dialog is certainly improved from what I saw, and not too many liberties taken (but I only watched a short bit) though Leon and Claire stick together instead of split up at the RE2 opening. So I don't know if it goes far off the tracks.

Ada was voiced by someone else in UC. I think it was related to Capcom hiring non-union actors at the time. At least that's how I remember Sally Cahil's explanation of her absence from UC.I don't understand why Capcom keeps changing voice actors, either. Ada had the same voice actress until OCR, and they changed Leon's voice AGAIN. What's the dealio?
Different but fine, at least it's still RE5 Jill
For appearances, Sherry was also in The Darkside Chronicles and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City.
Leon was also in Operation Raccoon City.
I don't see how, she was basically just the result of affirmative action.
I already have my physical copy paid off, but good news for those who want to go that route. I love that Sony is starting to do this more.
It could never get that bad, I've seen Retribution, it makes the game's storyline seem like Shakespeare. Damnation also has well choreographed action sequences, while the live action films seem to be purposefully trying to look as awful as possible.

That said, I still don't recall such a heavy emphasis on over-the-top action in the series until the Resident Evil films began. Since then the games have descended further down the rabbit hole, with BSAA training making someone the equivalent of Neo.

That shit started even before movies.
Blame Matrix.
At least BSAA are trained soldiers. How can you explain Claire's gun-fu abilities, though? Or her outrunning a helicopter?
It's silly... but Claire supposedly gained her firearms training from her brother, Chris.
Outrunning a helicopter? Well Chis is a heli pilot... and um... I uh... got nothin'.

I do find it amusing that people say how John Woo it is because a similar scene appeared in Mission Impossible 2... but CODE:Veronica pre-dated MI2 quite a bit.
Hm, I don't remember the elaborate fight scene between Chris and Wesker when I played. Was that added in different versions?
But yeah, the point is made. I still feel that the games and the movies are slowly becoming one. I eagerly anticipate playing Mercenaries as Michelle Rodriguez.

I might be wrong... there's probably some dev interview or something that contradicts this... but I've always had the impression they wanted to do action. They just couldn't. Limitation of the medium at the time. They injected in wherever they could though. With boss fights and things. And in cinematics.
I watch the RE3 opening and think to myself... these folks want to make an action game bad.
