Barry was perfection in this game. He was my favorite hero character in the first game and this game shows why, he is so much more interesting than the macho Rambo heroes we have. He is this perfectly balanced charcter that is cheesy but real. He can be a goofball but be badass at the same time. And he has a heart of gold, he is easily the best RE hero, wtf was capcom thinking taking so long to bring him back. The relationship with Moira was perfect.
Now I have no clue wtf happened with Claire in this game, I have no clue who that person they named Claire was. How can the writers nail Barry but totally misrepresent Claire.

Finally beat the game with the good ending. Absolutely LOVED the ending. Everything was perfect. Man I am on such a high right now. I haven't enjoyed a resident evil game this much in a very long time.
I really hope that RE7 hits the same notes this game does. Better yet, just give this team the reins on RE7.

I have gone years not caring about the story in RE games, the combat gameplay was enough to keep my love going. But I used to be super hardcore into the story. Tonight I feel like let myself enjoy a RE story again like I did so many years ago, it feels so good. I love these charcters, I love this universe, feels good to care about the characters again.
Feonix I am on a high too, how can I go to bed. I need to cause work but if I didn't work I would be playing the game all night.

Playing Claire's episode 3 again reminded me how dumb it is that you can't run in the water but the enemies can. I know it's to make that section difficult but it's badly designed.

OMG S RANK ON STRUGGLE ON SURVIVAL
FUCK THIS NEVER AGAIN DO I HAVE TO TOUCH THAT EPISODE (No achievement related to it either ;__
Wish you had recorded it...would have liked to see that actually accomplished.
Not going to lie, I cheesed the hell out of it haha. If I wasted too much ammo or health on a chapter, I would close the game application and it would reset it. On the X1. It saves your checkpoint. lol

They may get ported to RE7, but that is an entirely different team, news of RE7 should be coming soon..
Also, Claire problems may be a localization issue, unless your problem was not with the dialogue.
Classic costume: 50 completion medals.
Sniper costume: Clear gaunlet 8 on normal or higher.

Uh, i was thinking of making a RE thread about your favorite villain, that its not Albert Wesker, but wouldn't that be only mentions of Birking, Alexia and maybe
, maybe not a good idea.
Also does anyone else feel that the series is overusing the concept of human enemies transforming at the end?
Recent Haos,Talos, and Ustanak are like, animalistic, but they aren't the main threat of the game,while humans get to become big monster and still talk and talk, something that is simply a powerful bioweapon could fit like the original RE, of course a human villain would be needed as well, but, like The Tyrant of the original game, there isn't much of them...maybe its time for another?

The thread would likely have a lot of Wesker, Nemesis, some Birkin's, some Alexia/Alfred's. But I also think we should wait for the Revelations 2 to be out for a while, as Revelations 2 does probably have the best villain in the series in a while.
And probably the single most surprising thing about Revelations 2 villain, (SPOILERS)
is that it seems she isn't dead, contrary to what I and almost everyone thought was going to happen.
Finished a moment ago. Loved, loved, LOVED the ending. The last twenty minutes were pure, escalating awesome.
The dialogue, the fanservice, the cheese. This game is a love letter to everything Resident Evil. I'm so, so happy with the ending.

When Barry said "I got THIS!" I just had the stupidest grin in my face. And I love short haired Claire. And seeing her deliver the classic rocket launcher to the face? Man. So good.

Still lost if I should get this on disc or digital
$77 digital expires November.
$5 from BBY tomorrow and I cam GCU.
Basically I can get the game for the same price..with more content. Leaning towards disc. But that convenience of yelling at the Kinect and no switching discs is tempting.

you're right it would be better to wait for this game properly.
, i was expecting her to die too, im worried she may return too different like Albert on 5 ,but its interesting nonetheless, also she may want to transfer her mind to Sherry, why not? she doesn't age and has regenerative abilities.

Spoilers, obviously, but here's all the secret files in the game, from the game's files. I and some others found them in the game's files, but Newsbot made all the files available on Project Umbrella (these are not in order that you obtain them):
Alex's Thoughts on Franz Kafka
As I read Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," I can't help but feel that's it's an
autobiographical account of the author's life, with Gregor Samsa representing Kafka himself.
Kafka worked an ordinary job and lived a very mundane life. Despite this he wrote fantastic works filled with madness and despair. His writing was his outlet as he toiled away at everyday life. But his family and friends couldn't understand his works, couldn't relate to him. I'm sure he must have felt lonely, and isolated from the rest of the world.
Kafka would eventually fall ill and spend his final days wasting away in a
hospital bed. While his body experienced agonizing pain, his mind was tormented by fear: The fear of death, fear of the unknown, and the fear of isolation. It is this fear, and the emotions born from it, that made Kafka's works so rich, as he could critically examine madness and suffering and make these concepts the driving force behind his works.
Very few of Kafka's numerous works were published while he lived, and upon his death he left them to a friend with the instructions to burn them, unread. Fortunately that friend saw the value of Kafka's legacy and preserved them for the future, ignoring Kafka's final request. Even today, Kafka's works continue to enchant us with their vivid depictions of fear.
It is that fear that drives us. Compels us. Fear is born from human instinct,and it's the basic emotion that keeps us alive. The fear of death...the fear of failure...fear of isolation and loneliness. Fear is the most powerful motivator. Those who control fear, control life itself.
Though his life came to an abrupt end, Kafka's name lives on through his works on fear and madness. He has obtained the greatest power man can hope to achieve--immortality. I, too, will harness the power of fear, and infect this hellish world with it. And in the process I will be resurrected as one who has mastered fear. While Kafka merely lives on through his work, my work will help me to live on.
Alex's Memo - Spencer
On the verge of my plans coming to fruition, I can't help but reminiscence about my past. In particular, the foolish old man who made me who I am.
I speak of course, of Lord Oswell E. Spencer. He had it all. He commanded wealth and power at his fingertips. But it wasn't enough for him. No, he wanted more. He felt this world was in ruin, and that
mankind was on a path of ultimate destruction. He wanted to create a new world filled with order. This world would have no use for the weak, foolish masses. He wanted to make a race of advanced humans in a perfect utopia, and he would rule over this new world as its god.
To those ends, he collected gifted children from all over the world. To train their minds and bodies to be the chosen ones for his new world, they were subjected to hellish tests of endurance. And they were injected with a virus, to see if they were truly fit to rise above humanity.
Sadly, most of them weren't. And so they died, one by one, until only two
remained. Albert and myself. The last of the Wesker Children.
Spencer placed all his hopes on us. He tasked us with the burden of making him a god. And foolishly, compulsively, we scrambled to follow his orders.
Eventually we both realized that we had zero obligation to obey a stupid, decrepit old man. Our loyalty was a ruse, and we continued our duplicitous use of his vast resources. Eventually, with Albert on the verge of completing his own plans, he snuffed out the old skinflint's life with his bare hands. A fitting end. So now, on the verge of my own triumph, I've come to better understand how Albert must have felt. And maybe even the old man as well.
After all, I am one of the chosen. I am the last one.
The right to become a god is now mine.

Hey Chris,
I heard you just got back from Africa. Some crazy shit went down there. Glad to hear you're OK.
And better yet, you brought Jill back! When I heard the news I was so happy I could've done cartwheels down the streets! Not that my knees would allow for that kind of thing anymore. I mean, after all the shit the three of us have been through... Y'know, we gotta look out for each other, watch each other's backs. But I don't have to tell you
the value of having a good partner now, do I?
Well, you just got back so you need some time to recover. Take it easy, you hear? If I hear you're hitting the gym again, I'm gonna come down and kick your ass personally!
I know things are gonna be a bit crazy for awhile for you and Jill, but when you're both settled in let's all go out for a drink or something. It's been too long.

E-Mail from Piers to Claire
Dear Claire,
On behalf of our unit, I just wanted to say it was real nice to get to see you the other day. Thank you for taking the time to talk with everyone. The guys really appreciated it.
I know you were surprised by the men's reaction upon first seeing you. Let me explain. When we heard that Terra Save would be arriving on location, well, the men knew that you'd be coming and so they got a bit excited over the idea. They'd only heard stories about you, and since you're the Captain's sister, well...let's just say they were expecting someone more along the lines of his build. I tried to tell them otherwise, but their imaginations got the best of them.
So then when you arrived...well, aside from not being what they expected, we don't get to interact with a lot of pretty women in our line of work, so that's why they had the reaction that they did. Then they had to remember that you're the Captain's sister, and it made them all awkward... I'm sorry about that, ma'am.
You probably saw it for yourself, but we all have a lot of admiration and
respect for the captain. In addition to being a very capable leader, he treats us like family. He's an inspiration to us all.
Speaking for the men, we're all looking forward to the chance to work with you again. Our paths may not cross often, and I know you're busy, but it'd be nice to talk every now and then, even through email. Just between you and me, if you have any pictures of the Captain when he was younger, I'd sure love to see them! I hear he was very different back then, but he won't show us anything...
There's a lot more I'd like to say, but it's time to get ready for our next
posting. These missions aren't easy, but it's nice to know we've got allies
such as your organization backing us up. Keep fighting the good fight.

E-Mail from Jill to Barry
Hey Barry,
How's it going? I hope you're up to your usual wise-cracking self.
I'm back from Africa. I heard from Chris that after my fight with Wesker, the BSAA listed me officially as KIA, and that you took the news pretty hard.
I'm sorry to have caused you such grief. I'm alive and none the worse for wear! Although I do look a bit different now. Well, you'll see.
So how are Kathy and the girls doing? Have you managed to patch things up with Moira yet? Girls in their teens can be a nightmare to deal with. I know because I used to be one. You just have to be patient and understanding. And sometimes you just have to give them their space. I know you want to protect her, but you have to be sure you don't become overbearing.
But hey, that's just my two cents. I can already hear you saying, "Yeah yeah, I'm the one with the kids." I'll leave it at that. But I do hope you've managed to smooth things over. Since you've become a consultant for the BSAA, well, I don't have to explain the job and its dangers to you. So every minute you can spend with those you love is valuable time.
As for me, ever since getting back I've been locked up in this lab as they run tests on me day in and day out. It's every bit as boring as it sounds. Rehab should be starting soon, so that's something to look forward to. At this point I'd take a battlefield full of B.O.W.s over looking at another test tube again.
We should all meet up when I'm back on my feet again. It'll be blast!
Jill
P.S. I heard I didn't even get a funeral. So that means I should be getting one
hell of a welcome back party...right, Barry?
Stuart's Memo - Claire and Moira 1
I thought it prudent to keep notes on some of the more promising candidates in this round of experiments. I noticed that subjects no. 2 and no. 6, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton, have been working together since the beginning. My curiosity piqued, I decided to look into these two and found they have a deeper relationship that goes beyond that of just co-workers.
It might be fair to say their friendship has its origins in the Raccoon City
Incident back in 1998. Claire, a university student at the time, was one of the few survivors. Meanwhile, her brother Chris Redfield and Moira's father, Barry Burton, were members of the special forces unit S.T.A.R.S. that was involved in the events leading up to the incident. Following Raccoon City, Chris became one of the founding members of the BSAA.
Though Barry relocated his family to Canada for safety concerns, he would
continue to be an activist against bioterrorism, eventually accepting a position as a BSAA consultant after an invitation from Chris.
It was through Chris that Barry and Claire met, and the three became close, with Barry taking on a mentor-like role to the two parentless siblings.
Claire and Moira would also become friends, leading to Moira's desire to join Terra Save. That is also what landed her on Neil's candidate list. Meeting Claire was less than fortuitous for the young lady.
I find it deliciously ironic. Following the events of Raccoon City, Barry moved his family away to protect them. However, the friends he made during that time would only serve to further put his family in danger.
Stuart's Memo - Claire and Moira 2
Follow-up on candidates no. 2 and no. 6, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton.
Claire met Moira through her friendship with Moira's father, Barry. Moira looked up to Claire like a big sister, sometimes trusting her more than she did her own father. When Claire joined Terra Save, Moira was determined to do the same, despite strong opposition from her father who tried to keep her away from the dangers of bioterrorism.
It's clear that Moira has a deep level of trust and respect for Claire. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out during the experiment. Will their friendship be able to survive this ordeal? And how will that affect their responses to the experiment? I'm looking forward to watching it all unfold, particularly how these factors contribute to their emotional responses, and if they will serve as a trigger for fear.
Stuart's Memo - Chris Redfield
Chris Redfield is the older brother of candidate no. 02, Claire Redfield. He's
been at the center of a number of bioterrorist incidents, and more recently is known as the man who killed Albert Wesker.
Chris is a member of the Bioterror Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). He's one of the "Original Eleven," the name given to the organization's founding members. In 2009 he and the BSAA were a major part of the suppression efforts to contain the bioterror threat in Kijuju, Africa. Here he had a confrontation with Albert Wesker, killing him during the engagement.
Currently he's been spending most of his time at the BSAA North American branch, serving as a team leader to mentor new recruits.
Stuart's Memo - Barry Burton
(I've hacked into the BSAA North American Branch's servers. I've found the profile of candidate no. 6's father.)
Name: Barry Burton
Blood Type: A
Status: BSAA North American Branch Consultant
Family: Wife, 2 daughters (Moira, Polly)
Residence: Canada Following the Raccoon City Incident in 1998, he relocated with his family to Canada for their safety, fearing any potential retaliatory attacks from anyone connected to the Umbrella Corporation. Since then he's been living out of the spotlight with his family, occasionally participating in anti-bioterrorism activities. He currently works as a consultant for the BSAA, having accepted the position as an offer from his friends Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.
Stuart's Memo - Claire Redfield
Out of the candidates in this current round of testing, No. 02 Claire Redfield displays an extraordinary amount of compassion.
Among the most notable examples is her saving Sherry Birkin from certain death during the Raccoon City Incident. Sherry is the daughter of William Birkin, the scientist who developed the G-Virus. With Sherry having been infected herself, it would have been easy to simply let the child die.
Having become a host for the G-Virus, Sherry was placed under strict government control. Claire continued to care for her, visiting her frequently, and the two developed a friendship that continues to this day. According to my sources, the protective care that Sherry is under will be ending soon, but I was not able to ascertain the reason why.
Another notable example of Claire's compassion is during the Harvardville
Incident in 2005. Claire took it upon herself to protect a little girl during
the attack, even jumping into an area filled with hostiles without a weapon in order to rescue her.
Claire is also close with candidate No. 6, Moira Burton. Claire is very close to the Burton family. As Claire is an orphan, it seems that Barry has become a father-like figure for her. As such, Claire has developed a sister-like relationship with Barry's two daughters, and Moira in particular. Following a certain incident in the Burton household the relationship between Barry and Moira became strained. As Moira became more rebellious she often turned to Claire for advice and support. Claire has undoubtedly become a figure of admiration and respect for Moira.
With Moira also involved in the experiment it will be interesting to see how her relationship with Claire develops, and what role Claire's compassion will play in her emotional responses. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing it all play out.
Stuart's Memo - The Wesker Project
The Master's plans are on the eve of their completion. Despite having cut ties with her benefactor, she strives to accomplish his goal of a new world order. I find it somewhat ironic that Albert Wesker worked towards the same goal as well. Hard to believe he met his unfortunate end only two years ago.
His death leaves the Master as the last of the Wesker Project, a project meant to create an advanced breed of humans who would create a new world order. Children were taken from their homes and put through extreme trials in order to forge a new, advanced race. All would perish except for two--specimens 012 and 013, Alex and Albert Wesker.
Albert worked for many years under Spencer's tutelage as a researcher at the Umbrella Corporation. He was successful in creating bio-organic weapons, and played a large part in the Mansion Incident and the subsequent Raccoon City Incident.
Albert would continue to develop B.O.W.s and use them in bioterror incidents. The world would come to know the name of Wesker and tremble in fear at it.
In 2006, with his own plans coming to fruition, Albert confronted Spencer and killed him, deeming his existence unnecessary. Through a partnership with Tricell in 2009, Albert successfully developed the Uroboros virus. As Spencer before him, he planned to use the virus as a method of creating a new breed of human, killing off all who were unworthy in the process. His plans were foiled when he met his unfortunate end at the hands of
BSAA agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar.
Though Master Alex is not Albert's blood kin, the two seemed to share a common bond through their experiences and position as the only surviving Wesker Children. Master Alex was deeply saddened at the news of Albert's death. Upon learning of Albert's death, Master Alex called for me. "We must begin our plans for the transfer ceremony. There is no time to waste." Once Master Alex gains immortality she will finish what Albert started. Of course, this all started with Spencer, who wished to create a new world. Though Spencer's dream will come true, it is Master Alex who will realize it.
Stuart's Memo - Natalia Korda
We have finally found the Master's vessel--candidate No. 9, Natalia Korda. This small, frail little girl will be the key to the Master's future.
Out of curiosity I asked Mr. Fisher for more information on her background.
Natalia is a survivor of the Terragrigia Panic that occurred in 2004. She lost her entire family in the incident. She was rescued by Terra Save, and has lived at one of their facilities ever since.
She was carefully questioned by Terra Save about the incident. There was one answer in particular that was surprising: in regards to the ultraviolet radiation that was used to ultimately destroy the city, Natalia described it as "pretty." The interviewers were surprised that she could find beauty despite being surrounded by death as her home sank to the bottom of the sea.
Mr. Fisher took this response, and combined with her other answers, concluded that Natalia had overcome the emotion of fear. Having observed her during these trials I can agree with his assessment. She willingly walks into life-threatening situations and shows no signs of apprehension or fear. I can theorize that what she experienced in Terragrigia gravely traumatized her, and robbed her of the ability to feel fear.
This little girl is very emotionally strong, which suits the Master's needs. I have concerns, however, that she is too strong.
There is no doubt about her suitability to become the Master's new vessel. But with this strength of conviction, would she be able to repress the Master's psyche from overwriting her own, even after the transfer has been completed?
But I am just a humble servant. Surely the Master has already taken this into consideration. As of now all of the Master's plans have proceeded flawlessly. I have no doubt that this plan will also succeed without incident.
As I read Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," I can't help but feel that's it's an
autobiographical account of the author's life, with Gregor Samsa representing Kafka himself.
Kafka worked an ordinary job and lived a very mundane life. Despite this he wrote fantastic works filled with madness and despair. His writing was his outlet as he toiled away at everyday life. But his family and friends couldn't understand his works, couldn't relate to him. I'm sure he must have felt lonely, and isolated from the rest of the world.

Rehab should be starting soon, so that's something to look forward to. At this point I'd take a battlefield full of B.O.W.s over looking at another test tube again.
We should all meet up when I'm back on my feet again. It'll be blast!
Jill
P.S. I heard I didn't even get a funeral. So that means I should be getting one
hell of a welcome back party...right, Barry?
Stuart's Memo - Claire and Moira 1
I thought it prudent to keep notes on some of the more promising candidates in this round of experiments. I noticed that subjects no. 2 and no. 6, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton, have been working together since the beginning. My curiosity piqued, I decided to look into these two and found they have a deeper relationship that goes beyond that of just co-workers.
It might be fair to say their friendship has its origins in the Raccoon City
Incident back in 1998. Claire, a university student at the time, was one of the few survivors. Meanwhile, her brother Chris Redfield and Moira's father, Barry Burton, were members of the special forces unit S.T.A.R.S. that was involved in the events leading up to the incident. Following Raccoon City, Chris became one of the founding members of the BSAA.
Though Barry relocated his family to Canada for safety concerns, he would
continue to be an activist against bioterrorism, eventually accepting a position as a BSAA consultant after an invitation from Chris.
It was through Chris that Barry and Claire met, and the three became close, with Barry taking on a mentor-like role to the two parentless siblings.
Claire and Moira would also become friends, leading to Moira's desire to join Terra Save. That is also what landed her on Neil's candidate list. Meeting Claire was less than fortuitous for the young lady.
I find it deliciously ironic. Following the events of Raccoon City, Barry moved his family away to protect them. However, the friends he made during that time would only serve to further put his family in danger.
Stuart's Memo - Claire and Moira 2
Follow-up on candidates no. 2 and no. 6, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton.
Claire met Moira through her friendship with Moira's father, Barry. Moira looked up to Claire like a big sister, sometimes trusting her more than she did her own father. When Claire joined Terra Save, Moira was determined to do the same, despite strong opposition from her father who tried to keep her away from the dangers of bioterrorism.
It's clear that Moira has a deep level of trust and respect for Claire. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out during the experiment. Will their friendship be able to survive this ordeal? And how will that affect their responses to the experiment? I'm looking forward to watching it all unfold, particularly how these factors contribute to their emotional responses, and if they will serve as a trigger for fear.
Stuart's Memo - Chris Redfield
Chris Redfield is the older brother of candidate no. 02, Claire Redfield. He's
been at the center of a number of bioterrorist incidents, and more recently is known as the man who killed Albert Wesker.
Chris is a member of the Bioterror Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). He's one of the "Original Eleven," the name given to the organization's founding members. In 2009 he and the BSAA were a major part of the suppression efforts to contain the bioterror threat in Kijuju, Africa. Here he had a confrontation with Albert Wesker, killing him during the engagement.
Currently he's been spending most of his time at the BSAA North American branch, serving as a team leader to mentor new recruits.
Stuart's Memo - Barry Burton
(I've hacked into the BSAA North American Branch's servers. I've found the profile of candidate no. 6's father.)
Name: Barry Burton
Blood Type: A
Status: BSAA North American Branch Consultant
Family: Wife, 2 daughters (Moira, Polly)
Residence: Canada Following the Raccoon City Incident in 1998, he relocated with his family to Canada for their safety, fearing any potential retaliatory attacks from anyone connected to the Umbrella Corporation. Since then he's been living out of the spotlight with his family, occasionally participating in anti-bioterrorism activities. He currently works as a consultant for the BSAA, having accepted the position as an offer from his friends Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.
Stuart's Memo - Claire Redfield
Out of the candidates in this current round of testing, No. 02 Claire Redfield displays an extraordinary amount of compassion.
Among the most notable examples is her saving Sherry Birkin from certain death during the Raccoon City Incident. Sherry is the daughter of William Birkin, the scientist who developed the G-Virus. With Sherry having been infected herself, it would have been easy to simply let the child die.
Having become a host for the G-Virus, Sherry was placed under strict government control. Claire continued to care for her, visiting her frequently, and the two developed a friendship that continues to this day. According to my sources, the protective care that Sherry is under will be ending soon, but I was not able to ascertain the reason why.
Another notable example of Claire's compassion is during the Harvardville
Incident in 2005. Claire took it upon herself to protect a little girl during
the attack, even jumping into an area filled with hostiles without a weapon in order to rescue her.
Claire is also close with candidate No. 6, Moira Burton. Claire is very close to the Burton family. As Claire is an orphan, it seems that Barry has become a father-like figure for her. As such, Claire has developed a sister-like relationship with Barry's two daughters, and Moira in particular. Following a certain incident in the Burton household the relationship between Barry and Moira became strained. As Moira became more rebellious she often turned to Claire for advice and support. Claire has undoubtedly become a figure of admiration and respect for Moira.
With Moira also involved in the experiment it will be interesting to see how her relationship with Claire develops, and what role Claire's compassion will play in her emotional responses. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing it all play out.
Stuart's Memo - The Wesker Project
The Master's plans are on the eve of their completion. Despite having cut ties with her benefactor, she strives to accomplish his goal of a new world order. I find it somewhat ironic that Albert Wesker worked towards the same goal as well. Hard to believe he met his unfortunate end only two years ago.
His death leaves the Master as the last of the Wesker Project, a project meant to create an advanced breed of humans who would create a new world order. Children were taken from their homes and put through extreme trials in order to forge a new, advanced race. All would perish except for two--specimens 012 and 013, Alex and Albert Wesker.
Albert worked for many years under Spencer's tutelage as a researcher at the Umbrella Corporation. He was successful in creating bio-organic weapons, and played a large part in the Mansion Incident and the subsequent Raccoon City Incident.
Albert would continue to develop B.O.W.s and use them in bioterror incidents. The world would come to know the name of Wesker and tremble in fear at it.
In 2006, with his own plans coming to fruition, Albert confronted Spencer and killed him, deeming his existence unnecessary. Through a partnership with Tricell in 2009, Albert successfully developed the Uroboros virus. As Spencer before him, he planned to use the virus as a method of creating a new breed of human, killing off all who were unworthy in the process. His plans were foiled when he met his unfortunate end at the hands of
BSAA agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar.
Though Master Alex is not Albert's blood kin, the two seemed to share a common bond through their experiences and position as the only surviving Wesker Children. Master Alex was deeply saddened at the news of Albert's death. Upon learning of Albert's death, Master Alex called for me. "We must begin our plans for the transfer ceremony. There is no time to waste." Once Master Alex gains immortality she will finish what Albert started. Of course, this all started with Spencer, who wished to create a new world. Though Spencer's dream will come true, it is Master Alex who will realize it.
Stuart's Memo - Natalia Korda
We have finally found the Master's vessel--candidate No. 9, Natalia Korda. This small, frail little girl will be the key to the Master's future.
Out of curiosity I asked Mr. Fisher for more information on her background.
Natalia is a survivor of the Terragrigia Panic that occurred in 2004. She lost her entire family in the incident. She was rescued by Terra Save, and has lived at one of their facilities ever since.
She was carefully questioned by Terra Save about the incident. There was one answer in particular that was surprising: in regards to the ultraviolet radiation that was used to ultimately destroy the city, Natalia described it as "pretty." The interviewers were surprised that she could find beauty despite being surrounded by death as her home sank to the bottom of the sea.
Mr. Fisher took this response, and combined with her other answers, concluded that Natalia had overcome the emotion of fear. Having observed her during these trials I can agree with his assessment. She willingly walks into life-threatening situations and shows no signs of apprehension or fear. I can theorize that what she experienced in Terragrigia gravely traumatized her, and robbed her of the ability to feel fear.
This little girl is very emotionally strong, which suits the Master's needs. I have concerns, however, that she is too strong.
There is no doubt about her suitability to become the Master's new vessel. But with this strength of conviction, would she be able to repress the Master's psyche from overwriting her own, even after the transfer has been completed?
But I am just a humble servant. Surely the Master has already taken this into consideration. As of now all of the Master's plans have proceeded flawlessly. I have no doubt that this plan will also succeed without incident.
difficult as fuck on survival. You literally have like 5 bullets to spare at the end.

Yup, some of them are very enjoyable, and two things on the secret files,
it tells us that apparently Chris and Claire are orphans. Also, I'm amused they keep Piers sexuality ambiguous, with the hints that he's both interested in Claire and Chris in his email. I like to say he's Redfieldsexual~
If game files are hinting at more DLC episodes, it might be worth noting RER2 will be at NicoNico Chou Kaigi next month.
I just started the game and I'm loving it so far...but I have a question- is your partner always kind of useless on their own? I'm finding myself consistently switching between the two characters just to beat one enemy because my partner usually just stands there getting hit without fighting back. I must be missing something, right?

When you get to the skill settings, there's a skill you can buy to make your partners shoot/attack when not being controlled. It's a bit silly, but does allow you to choose how you play.
Oh nice! thats good to know! Thanks!
Make sure you exit any in-game stuff entirely (eg. back to the main menu.) Changing graphics settings on the fly doesn't actually work except for I think V-sync. I had the exact same issue where I was getting abysmal framerate, lowered settings, wondered why nothing was improving.
That said it's still far from perfect even on lower settings, but it's much improved from the defaults. Still needs a patch.

They said yesterday a PC patch for performance was releasing in a few days. Here's hoping.
Hopefully because I like what I have seen so far.

That's basically my case with it, I like the game, like a lot, it gets better with each episode, and have beaten it, but I am waiting to fully recommend it once some of the technical issues are taken care of.
I took some screenshots of the hot new look a certain character has at the end. Reminds me of
rolled into one.

Got any explosive bottles? If not your best (pretty much only) bet is to dodge his charge attack and then go to town on his weak points with the knife while he's stuck in the wall.
hint:
Use Natalia to spot what his current weakspot is, you don't really need much ammo that way.
her new outfit has a lot of re-used assets actually, haha.
her pants are from her rev2 model, the shirt is a modified version sherry's re6 asia one without a scarf and the goggles that she's wearing are straight up from jill's REmake alt costume

also i learned that the dog enemies have a rare grab attack that reveals a really grotesque aspect to them: their mouth isn't actually on the head that is sewed on but rather located in their neck. their head flips like a pez dispenser to reveal sawtooth teeth
