The point is that he can survive it. It's metastable, but with drugs it's controllable. Many people say Wesker couldn't bond with Uroboros either but that's not true either. Also if you look at RE6 they needed his son's antibodies to create a vaccine for the C-virus which was another virus derived from Progenitor.

>>734133386
So, he's just their to imply that Wesker might not be dead or he has a bunch of clones to do his bidding.

There is no known cure, and besides, their goal is to control, not wipe out. You're thinking of Albert "ERMAHGERD" Wesker.
Other markers, like gait, eyes, any genetic information left behind.

The Maniji believed in a master race. They were supremacists like Wesker, but they only believed the strongest of their tribes should survive. In a way, Wesker and the Maniji were the same culture, it's just that Wesker didn't want to be a white supremacist, he wanted to be a bioweapon supremacist.

Zeno genuinely wants poor people that can't afford viruses like the mutated T-Virus to die. He's a literal supernazi that will try and eradicate anyone that isn't superhuman in the name of his ultra-nationalist corporatist zionism.

The one thing I stand by in this game's stupid fucking plot is the choice to have Zeno go completely unexplained
there literally isn't one needed. Just by virtue of being there everyone knows what's up and it doesn't matter why. The characters know it. We know it. He's just some clone of Wesker who runs upper management for the Connections. We don't need to know anything else. And as far as the plot goes he pretty much just exists to die to Elpis and keep Icky Vicky alive be the final boss.

>>734137096
won't be suprised. they made an entire AI for the human soldiers leon fought in ARK that was capable of taking cover, flanking you and working in teams of two to pin you down and you only ever fight them twice.

Hunk escapes is one. I personally would rather they waste no time on this shit. If it's not there on release let it go.

I get that Zeno got gaslit by him, not his fault.
If Spencer really wanted to atone and push out a cure why would it destroy itself with the wrong password? Shouldn't it be some unstoppable antiviral that can spread itself around the world eradicating all T Virus mutations?

Trying to wrap my head around what the fuck that story was, it was both kinda retarded and kinda kino.

>Spencer basically got retconned into being Oppenheimer who regrets all the damage his work has caused the world
>Creates Elpis which is basically the ultimate anti-BOW drug but fabricates a whole story about how its able to control minds
>Adopts Grace from the hundreds of research children as a final act of kindness and "hope"
>Makes the password something only Alyssa/Grace would know so only they can set Elpis free
>If it's somebody else, the facility immediately self-destructs as a final "fuck you" to people stealing his work
>Temu Wesker and The Connections find out about Grace and Elpis
>They think Grace is somehow a literal genetic key to Elpis because Spencer, completely overthinking it
>Gives massive amounts of resources to Victor to figure out how they're linked, they create a bunch of clones of Grace
>Somewhere Victor learns the truth that there's nothing special about Grace, and Elpis is just an anti-BOW drug, not mind control
>Completely twists Spencer's intentions by coming to the conclusion that Elpis should be weaponized, since superpowers are all reliant on BOW's now

It kind of half makes sense but like most RE things its kinda dumb.

>>734133846
Mind control trumps all of that so yes

>>734135112
>Waiting outside the hospital for hours while Gideon tries to convince Grace
>Waiting for hours inside the facility for Grace and Leon
>Only acts aggressive after someone attacks him first

Was this guy even a villain?

You know what's funny? The nurse that leads Leon in at the start has a folder with "Panacea" on the cover.

That's not even really a retcon or at least not a significant one since RE5

>>734137959
>You know what's funny?
Resident Evil fans being unable to follow a basic plot?

>>734137559
>why would it destroy itself with the wrong password?
Because only Grace, the chosen one, may access the cure.

>>734137698
you're only half right
Sadler and Illuminados were independent and not related to Connections. And they wanted her to infect the president so they could rule the world.
that's the whole reason Ada was there, to steal a plagas egg so they could reverse engineer the tech. If they were affiliated at all with Sadler that would be unnecessary.

>another game where they add a villain, this time 2 and kill them off immediately
Not Wesker not dying and being spun as a sympathetic almost good guy would have been better for the series long term then you could have played him off with Chris well who would hate working with him and be distrustful.

>>734138357
Don’t expect Japanese devs to write complex story

>>734133386

>>734137781
What doesn’t make sense to me is why Spencer and Alyssa went to such lengths to conceal the way to release Elpis if releasing it is a good thing and is what Spencer wanted. Wouldn’t it have been a bigger middle finger to the people who screwed him over to tell them the password while he was alive and see the looks on their faces when their plans are fucked? The way he went about it made it very unlikely that Elpis would ever be released at all.

>>734137781
>since superpowers are all reliant on BOW's now
are they? is this ever mentioned before this moment where Gideon says it? Is the world gripped by MGS4 style proxy war manipulation everywhere or something? Even 6 which has you on full mobilizations of special BSAA units it never feels like more than a terrorist attack. If anything I only ever got the impression that all the world superpowers had united to create multiple task forces for eliminating BOWs and nothing else.

>>734138604
I bet they tried many times to make a 3rd one and gave up or took what they had and made it a main line game. At some point we were months away from a Rev 3 starring Rebecca made for Nintendo then that vanished

>>734135921
Evil within and Expedition 33 being referenced in the same game is a weird mix innit

>>734133386
Why does he have superpowers? Weren’t wesker’s powers from an experimental virus birkin gave him? And he had to stay hopped up on drugs because of it?

>>734138627
I thought it was just an excuse to give Leon a timer and to increase the drama. Leon didn't even know Elpis was a cure until the very end (maybe this ties in to the "blind hope" themes) and giving him ligma only affects the gameplay at the end too.

>>734138659
The geopolitics of BOW is one of those things the games briefly touch on, but its never in the focus, might be intentional because Capcom feels that goes too much into MGS territory, but I've always liked it. I remember that CGI movie Damnation had soldiers using devices to mind control Lickers

>>734139003
Bro its been a billion years, they probably found a way to stabilize it while he was a test tube baby or because he dies like a bitch they way scaled back the scope of the virus or some other bullshit for the sake of not needing to be constantly hopped up on it, who fucking knows who fucking cares, this game has way bigger issues then clone wesker needing his zombie chemotherapy

>>734139023
They've been wanting that Leon plot line since Gaiden. RE3.5 originally had that same plot line with his arm turning into something like Krauser's.

>>734139231
He doesn't even get any cool powers though, he just as t-virus aids

>>734136180
Single earrings are straight. It's wearing one in each ear that's gay.

So is Grace a test tube baby or not? I love the game overall but this games plot legitimately is more confusing than any other RE game by miles.

>>734139345
It was never about powers. In 3.5 it made him hallucinate shit that could kill him.

>>734139359
No, single right ear is gay.

Single left ear or both ears is straight.

>>734139415
Jesus Christ kid. The interview with Spencer answered that question for you.

>>734138050
really?

>>734139485
>It was never about powers. In 3.5 it made him hallucinate shit that could kill him.
They did consider the idea of him getting a parasite arm in at least one of the 3.5 versions, the idea ended up being used for Krauser instead

>>734139560
The game gives contradictory evidence though. It makes more sense if he's lying.

Amnesia is stealthslop where you have no weapons like 9 retard

>>734140353
It makes sense when we knew the outcome first and not the steps first since this easter egg was solved backwards first. Without knowing about the doll none of this shit makes sense. It's like a Call of Duty Zombies easter egg on steroids. None of this was solved without datamining . The way the guy is talking in the video is not describing logic but back end flags you need to turn on

>>734140416
>is he saying "flag check" as in the hidden value the game is using to check the flag and spawn the doll at that last part?
Yes. The dataminers knew about the doll by fucking with checks in the code. It was kinda shitty how this wasn't found naturally people just used the code to find the result and worked backwards from there

>>734140493
Has it been solved front to back at this point? I'm curious what the intended way to solve the puzzle was. I have no idea how you'd figure out how to do any of that shit. Hell, I was completely stumped at the "Let's play" step and I love cryptic puzzle games.

>>734140469
You spend 40 minutes at the start of RE7 doing stealth with no weapons, plus the party roon
Grace has no weapons for 5 minutes at the start of care center and that's it, she has weapons for the entire rest of the game after that

>>734140568
Dataminers ruin all sense of soul and wonder in their obsessive need to know everything.

The birthday escape room is way better than anything Grace has.
It's a completely seperate section that isn't a boring amnesia knockoff where you crouchwalk and try to get enemies to turn around which is Grace's entire gameplay

You're literally including the intro for grace lmfao
God 7 fags are retarded, next you'll defend the enemy "variety" of 7

>>734140632
This is the intended way I think because the logic is you are creating more blood to push that doll through. The guy was just an autist talking about "checks" over and over. If you ever played COD Zombies they have bullshit puzzles like this too

Is the auto gun you unlock with Grace a troll? Some anon said it's a must have but it burns through ammo faster than the other guns with no upside

>>734140902
Its not forcing the player to do anything. Its a completely optional puzzle meant for an online easter egg hunt. Its not mandatory for you to complete the game.

>>734141031
Yeah, that's gay, and also meaningless.

>>734141013
It exists only to combo with infinite ammo in ARK since you don't have the requiem

>>734140945
I don't mean just the specific steps to solve the puzzle, I'm curious what was the train of logic players were supposed to follow to get there. Also, that still doesn't explain the toilet or the code at the end.

>>734140940
The first section with the hag isn't an intro since you can die retard.
i'll defend 7's enemies if my opponent is a gracefag, the only actual enemies grace fights are zombies which are just that, generic zombies that get stunned with headshots, the molded are unironically scarier enemies since they don't get stunned by headshots

There is a picture in game that hints about it . Also there is a file that talks about filling the tank with 115 bodies so you don't have to wait 15 minutes just sit here and count and I think the conveyor belt is fast so it's more like 2 minutes.

What's bullshit is thinking why would you do this. Without knowing about the doll's position you would never consider doing any of this shit. It makes sense after you know about the doll not before. The toilette thing also needed to have an audio cue when you did it

And again, blisterheads alone make them far more interesting than moldmen

You are an insanely disingenous bitter dumb fuck that probably just sucks at the game, probably games in general

I don't even think he's canon anymore. You have a better chance at seeing Kevin again.

>>734141503
i already beat this shit, don't pull that card on me faggot.
ohh yeah the singer broke the windows in that one room, i shot her dead just like any other zombie, the zombie behavior is seriously overhyped these are just generic zombies no different than 2R except for the zombies in 2R are actually scary since they get up again most of the time

>>734141418
I hate the "remake everything that moves" culture but a remake of Survivor would be pretty cool. Id be more interested in that than a remake of Code Veronica at least.

>>734141627
The game is easy but it genuinely sounds like you are some loser that took ages to deal with the very easy pursuer sections and you blame the game for your retardation

The toilet thing with the solution being "the dead guy next to the toilet in the file from the beginning of the game had the number 8 next to him so flush a later toilet 8 times" is a little too esoteric for me personally but these things are supposed to be solved by numerous players collectively over a longer period of time, data mining the solution immediately then manipulating the result without proper sequencing just sucks the fun out of it. Not everything is supposed to be solved immediately by one guy.

>>734141707
i just don't like the grace stealth shit, it's gay as fuck.
I want shotguns and grenade launchers, you are the contrarian that wants RE to be Outlast in the grand scope of things

>>734141705
I wouldn't solely for the fact that Ark's whole amnesia story and fake identity is pretty dumb and lame. Alexia and the Veronica Virus are pretty cool though. I'd love a CV remake.

>>734141728
The issue with this easter egg is it completely made sense if you are an autist like me who did almost every COD Zombies easter egg and am use to the idea of doing a bunch of unrelated random shit leads to a goal but to your average player this looks like nonsense

I want to try a 2nd playthrough under 4hours.

Does the cutscenes count in the runtime ? If not, I would like to stream it to a friend. If it does count then I would have to skip all of them and play it again on my own.

>>734141728
I'm not opposed to the idea of this kind of cryptic puzzle, but if the video posted above is correct, it's good this one just got datamined to death. It seems like the toilet flushing thing only works after letting the bodies get ground up, and it only works on a specific toilet which seems to have no indication that this is the special one. Players could have tested doing everything related to the number eight with the toilets and reasonably concluded that it's a nothingburger just because they didn't do it on the exact right toilet in the exact right part of the sequence. That's just bad puzzle design, even if you're trying to make an extremely cryptic ARG-style puzzle.

>>734141809
RE7 is literally what you are describing, it has the worst combat in the series since the series stopped being fixed camera

>>734138050
>That's not even really a retcon or at least not a significant one since RE5
It is significant since this is writing him as a completely different character now. I don't get why people downplay this as "not a big deal" or "it fits perfectly", his literal last moments are him screaming about how hew as to be a God.
When the Alyssa interview happens, chronologically, he was sending Alex something like 10,000 test subjects for his immortality experiments.

Are there more uses for the coins than the Parlor room? I can't help but notice I have one coin left over

>>734142059
it has guns, cope.
If a RE game does not have a shotgun, it's not a Resident Evil game

>>734141964
Yes, skip all cutscenes
The only thing that freezes the timer is pausing the game, and no having your map or inventory open does not count as pausing

>>734142098
you can eventually use it to convert it to scrap but that's only available during endgame

>>734141964
In previous RE games, time in inventory and map does count toward your time, but time in the official pause screen and cutscenes do not. I haven't checked for this game specifically, but I doubt they would change that.

>>734140940
>>734141707
>>734140940
don't bother with this guy I've seen him already today I'm guessing the last requiem thread he was in ended so he came here to parrot his same nonsense about "It's like Amnesia and Outlast!" over and over.

what is the best way to unlock infinite ammo?

>>734142105
This game has several shotguns
And the time spent as Leon is longer than the entirety of RE7

>>734142198
Casual run: don't heal or pick up the blood collector.
That nets you a very easy 70k. Casual has regen health when in danger territory and I don't believe anything one hits you at the point you heal back to on it.

>>734142208
>And the time spent as Leon is longer than the entirety of RE7
bait, why do gracefags hate 7 so much anyway?
It's the foundation of your new shit game.
is it third worlders not being able to handle first person?

>>734142198
Probably the no healing items one. Just reload your save any time you take damage. If you do it on the babby difficulties it'll barely be more difficult than a regular playthough.

>>734142297
Not even bait
The average playthrough of 7 for someone that isn't totally lost is about 5 hours with cutscenes. Leon's playtime with cutscenes is about 6 hours

>>734142198
You can do a no heal, no blood, 4 hour playthrough in one casual run with little problems.

>>734142120
>>734142161

I will try to see official sources considering the cutscene part then, thanks.
Also, is there a new game plus ? If so, will the 4 hour run count through it ?

>>734142275
I think that is doable. Hopefully the bosses aren't an issue

>>734142376
The only thing that carries over into NG are the things you buy in the completion shop

>>734142359
The average reported time for RE7 by autists who play vidya exclusively to see how long a game is says otherwise. RE7 hits about 10.5, RE9 is about 12

>>734142056
It's just something for fans who are inclined to look a little closer (and who are willing to do alot of trial and error) to sink their teeth into after the fact. That's about it.

>>734142359
Wrong and wrong retard, you don't have to lie you know.
7 is about a third longer than one playthrough of 2R which is around 8 or 9 hours.
Even then the bad parts of 7 are not nearly as shit as the bad parts of Grace

>>734134391
He didn't kill them. The anti-viral cured them.

>>734142472
So I can get the 35 000 PC for doing the 4 hour run even with things from the completition shop ?

Did my 1st run on PC, wondering if I should just use mods at this point just to get the interesting stuff, but I also want to try a new run

>>734142376
I will say that it's pretty inadvisable to go for the speedrun cheevo on your second playthrough. I haven't done it for this one, but I usually get the speedrun cheevo for each RE game that has one. Based on my experience with those, to get within the time window you need to be comfortable with skipping most of the optional stuff, know exactly where you're going, and constantly beeline objectives. All of that is pretty hard to do with only one playthrough's worth of experience.

>>734133709
Moreso than the real Wesker was?

Does Leon use ink ribbons or share inventory or anything?
I'm at the custodians office right before the garage, and have 4 ink ribbons left and 4 empty ribbon carts I'm scared I'm using too many

>>734142639
Don't be scared

>>734137698
Going by 4R, the dominant Plaga seem to have much stronger agency and will ultimately take control themselves. Even Saddler loses himself to the big queen plaga or whatever at the end.

>>734142639
No. Leon is the RE4 mode. Grace is the classic RE mode.

>>734134202
He's a member of The Connections, the shadowy crime syndicate that deals in bioweapons, introduced in RE7. Mia was a member of this group initially (she was a researcher on the tanker and developed Eveline before it crashed), and they also backed TRICELL, The Family, the Four Houses, and were rivals to Umbrella.

Zeno stylized himself as the second coming of Albert Wesker, but he was just an imitation. He wanted Elpis because of its supposed mind-control ability, never stopping to think and analyze exactly what he obtained (and then injected into himself). Victor calls him what he really is, just a copycat.

>>734142639
Leon on normal classic doesn't use ink at all. He has many auto saves.

I dunno about insanity though.

>>734142639
Leon doesnt need items to save and the game practically throws ink ribbons at Grace.

>>734142639
Leon gets tons of autosave checkpoints, and it does not cost anything to save manually at save points. You don't need to sweat it.

>>734142702
I'm more scared of inventory than I am of the game :(
I have like 4 hemolytic injectors I've not used so far. And I feel like I've wasted so much handgun ammo. The conference room had me use like 20 bullets + a knife

>>734142512
>>734142558
7's playtime is padded heavily by how slow Ethan moves, so if you go the wrong way you have to turn his snail ass around. It is not very difficult to achieve a sub 2 hour glitchless run on RE7, meanwhile such a feat is actually impossible in 9 unless sequence breaks or other glitches are discovered, and the world record will probably be like 2:25 or something
>RE2R
Yes RE2R is one of the shortest RE games when you know what you're doing, the difference between it and 7 is 2R is actually fun

>>734142780
Generally only use the injectors for blister heads.

>>734142818
7 is more similar to 2R so why are you shilling 9 so much?
No one thinks crouchwalking and backstabbing enemies is a good direction for the series

>>734142879
>No one thinks crouchwalking and backstabbing enemies is a good direction for the series
brother tell me what the fuck any of the direction for this series is? Every few games we get an entirely new gameplay loop. Stop revealing this to be the first RE you've ever played.

>>734142879
The care center for 9 is far closer to 2R than any part of 7 lmfao

>>734142818
I never said you couldn't speedrun the game, but your notion that the average player cleared RE7 in 5 hours is untrue.
>but Ethan is slow
And?

>>734137518
RE game DLC is usually around 2 to 3 hours in length, which is fine.

>>734142952
Ethan being is slow as he is is just as bad as the characters in 6 being too fast.
It crossed from tension to being a chore, hence why he's much faster in Village.

>>734142950
It certainly pretends to be like 2R, but it isn't.

>>734142947
resource management and inventory progression + power fantasy.
If Grace got some bug guns by the second act i wouldn't be hating but her gameplay only gets worse with the stealth shit when you exit the care center

Is this game worth the price tag? I played the shit out of Re2/3 on the PS and I played 4 a few times but the rest seem kind of gay. I have nothing to play until my suspension in WoW for being racist to the mexicans is uplifted. Wind Rose is good but it's only a demo and I'm not going to spend any more time on it until EA.

>>734143047
What does that have to do with the initial claim that most players will beat RE7 in 5 hours(false)?

>>734143106
*big guns

>>734143116
This is a very good well made game but it is not worth $70 unless you really fall in love with the gameplay and replay the game like 5 times. If you are a one and doner wait till its cheaper

>>734143116
>is this AAA iterative sequel from capcom on the downhill worth 70 dollars
No. It's worth 30 tops and that's being generous. I got 7 and Village for 15 bucks a pop, that seems about fair.

>>734143116
>Is this game worth the price tag? I
No. No game is worth 70 bucks. Wait for a sale.

>>734143116
>played the shit out of RE3
The remake? How, that shit was attrocious.

>>734143071
The care center is on the same level as RPD in 2R, I would argue better

>>734143295
lol no, nothing even compares to seeing that licker hanging on the wall, it's all forgettable shit in 9

So T-Virus Stocks are crashed.
Plagas (Parasite) and Mold (Funghi) Stocks are now bullish.

And what did the The Connection Soldiers picking up?

>>734143292

No you zoomer fucking mutt pay attention to what is being said.

>>734143271
>>734143245
>>734143231
This is what I figured. People are saying the gameplay is 8-15 hours depending and that it is not enough to justify the 70 dollar price tag for me. 20 years ago I'd spent $30 and get a 100 hour game.

>>734143378
You are delusional, but fortunately your kicking and screaming won't stop this from being the new core formula as it becomes the biggest critical and financial success in the series since the original RE4

then it dropped off a cliff lol

The singers are genuinely unfair. There should not be an enemy this tanky in a resident evil game. There is no reason I need MORE THAN 16 BULLETS WITH 3 STABILIZER INJECTIONS to kill one with all perfect precision headshots

>>734143460
Yeah, thank Nintendo and their cultists for normalizing this bullshit. I can't even recommend it to die hards at that price just for Grace's sections alone. They tried to do the classic RE gameplay for her but it just turns into slow stealth slogs.

>Leon is now T-virus healed
>he also now loses his Sayajin/VideogameMainCharacter Powers

I guess getting a mild T-Virus Infection is like changing your Gender to female and breaking one Female Sports World Record after another.
With enough training, you can now improve yourself a little bit more.

>>734143703
Just use the Requiem bro 1 shot ezpz

>>734143698
Wilds is a game meant to be played for 100s of hours, and peiple didn't enjoy the post game
Most people are putting Requiem in their top 5, some top 3.

>>734138502
I can think of a couple of reasons
>Spencer knew his company was infiltrated on every level and didn't know who to trust with handling Elpis, so he just let it stay there
>Elpis was completed around the time everything went to hell and he could no longer do anything about it
>Spencer was fucking crazy and flip flopped between wanting to make amends and becoming a god
>Spencer forgot about it
Honestly I think the easiest thing would have been to state that Elpis needed at least three decades in the oven before it could be powerful enough to wipe out Progenitor, so Spencer had no other choice but to hope that it would be found by the right people at the right time. It's an insane shot in the dark, but hey, this was the same guy who found that only 1 in like 100000 test subjects could become a Tyrant and thought "we can work with that".

>>734143772
>he also now loses his Sayajin/VideogameMainCharacter Powers
Where did you get that from? He's literally better than ever right at the end when he fights Gideon.

>>734143831
i'm just glad there won't be any graceslop for the DLC

>>734143835
>It's an insane shot in the dark
It's hope...that blind hope...

>>734143706
Idk if it's retards or capcom to blame at this point but Slow shambling zombies that kill you with one bad bite, a gun with 3 and a half bullets in it, and actual tight hallways would be such a nice change of pace

U wot
Sony is the one that set $70 as the recommended price for games back with the ps5
Activision and EA then brought those practices to PC
Nintendo didn't jump on $70 until Tears of the Kingdom

>>734136871
They needed one final memberberry

>>734143967
Sony(S to spit) set their BIG games at 70 bucks as a way of saying "This is a serious big box game"
Nintendo(also S to spit) set Mario Tennis at 70 bucks

>>734143879
People thinking that Leon does insane action movie shit because he has super powers. They're completely wrong but I've been seeing more and more people say it lately

I hate random bullshit values like how every now and then you get a free get out of jail free card that Grace pushes the zombie away before it bites you or your pistol randomly does a crit hit. Give me some indicator of that

>>734143562
Because the game is 12 hours long and miserable to replay, so they needed to pad out the playtime with some retarded puzzle

>>734144090
Crits are just rng, being focuses increases the chance of a crit and why you should usually pace your shots

>>734144090
"Modern" games have more RNG than the Binding of Isaac now with trillions of dice rolling to determine if Grace gets scared and lets out a fart or trips on a shoelace or a headshot instantly kills or does as close to 0 damage as possible. It's infuriating

>>734144090
Also I hate that the charms vaguely tell you what they do instead of just giving you values so you can determine pros and cons and worth

>>734144090
Does this game have dynamic difficulty? I swear sections became easier after I died a few times.

>>734144218
I also hate how zombies are randomly tanky. When you get the chainsaw the first time all the zombies you fight with Leon are tanky for some reason

>>734144283
There is some form of it. You never completely run out of items the game rewards you if you need help and after multiple playthroughs I noticed some items may or may not appear depending on need

>>734144070
That's just stupid. Then again, I've seen a lot of stupid shit lately regarding Resident Evil. This thread also having some of it. I suspect that it's just newfags to the series.

>>734144283
Dynamic Difficulty is present in almost ever RE since the original RE4

b934 or s&s

>>734144283
>Does this game have dynamic difficulty?
Yeah, its been a thing since RE4. The better you do, the harder the game gets.

>>734144283
RE2R had some funny moments where the dynamic difficulty on normal made the game harder than professional or hard or whatever it was called

>>734136873
Gideon IS a nemesis, he's just higher functioning (mentally) than the one from 3.

When you get to the area in Racoon City where you find the BSAA tent how the fuck do you get back to the earlier part of the city. I know you can because you get the key to open the containers but I could not find the way to do it

what was up with that office in ARK after grace sees those videos of spencer
why was a wheelchair there

>>734144520
Through the underground train area.

>>734144505
Isn't what makes Nemesis special is he is a tyrant you can program to kill specific targets? In what was was he like that? He was just a normal looking dude I don't think he exhibited abnormal strength.

>>734144582
Where though? One side you have that spider carcass blocking you and other than that there is a locked door.

>>734144505
>Gideon IS a nemesis
Yeah, he has a Nemesis parasite. What makes a Nemesis IS that parasite, it's literally in the namesake.

there's this sort of construction site that needs a fuel can to enter, one you pass through that, it'll lead you to an area with a bunch of enemies and a manhole cover. climb down the manhole and you'll eventually get back to the subway again but an unexplored area. the route will lead you back to the starting area

I actually liked the VA's performance for Zeno. His Wesker didn't work at all so I hope he isn't RE5R's Wesker

Wish D.C. Douglas didn't get canned. That's the peak Wesker voice right there

>>734144669
I think it's through one of the areas you open with the gas canister. Or shoot a ladder down or something.

>>734144505
That's because the one from 3 was a Tyrant, which are dumb and only follow simple orders (the parasite increasing their intelligence slightly). I don't know what Gideon is, maybe the parasite also mutated him physically but it's like he's a Tyrant with his mental faculties in-tact and also having a Nemesis parasite on top of that.

>>734144283
Of course it has Adaptive Difficulty, that's been a thing for YEARS.

Been playing too smart and have plenty of ammo? Lol, time for a Blisterhead with infinite health (until you get back down to /acceptable/ ammo qualities) camping a key item!

>>734144802
>Make the game difficult with lots of changes instead of tuning numbers
Welcome to modern gaming™. Souls games figured out the secret formula of just having hard mode be the default.

>>734144568
Just Spencers office, he had a picture of Miranda on the wall too.

>>734144829
Adaptive difficulty always has ways to cheese it. 2R it's the shotgun, in 9 it's the hemolytic injector. If you don't have the resources for those you are playing wrong.

>>734135110
Because there’s a 99 percent chance that it’s just going to explode you into a pile of black slimy worms.

>>734144829
I understand why they do it. Same reason why games have recharging health. Because it's a lot of hard work to really sit there and gauge whats acceptable item placement to make the game not too easy and not too hard but it's bullshit. Devs can patch games later on if people whine that there isn't enough ammo and health items

>>734135773
I’ve never once thought that. That sounds like a you issue.

>>734144520
Hatch in a construction site north of the BSAA camp. Need the gas can to access it.

>>734144991
You'd never have enough to pop every zombie. The one you don't will Blisterhead at the worst possible moment. At least they take a minute to wig out and mutate so you can usually just run 90% of the time.

>>734135773
When I was growing up there was an old man that owned a tailor shop no one used because it was a mob front and he dressed like that and pulled it off because everyone knew he would have no issues killing you

>>734143106
I feel the same. If they made the last half of the game Grace getting geared up and not being scared anymore and getting more access to weapons like a grenade launcher or SMG it wouldve been kino. The fact that an FBI agent has to still stealth until the end while a 19 year old searching for her brother doesnt is kinda insane

>>734144802
>>734144897
>literally 10-15 pistol shots to head in order to kill a regular zombie
>can't shoot legs for kick+melee because legs also require 10+ shots
at that point they could've just removed all guns and made it a hide and seek game
such shit game design

>>734135824
He and the Tyrant are there just to show what the Connections have at their disposal. They’re essentially Umbrella+ at this point, and I mean the cool Umbrella from that period in the franchise history that barely anyone here is old enough to remember, when they were wrapped in mystery, and all we knew about Umbrella was a cool logo and some journals and letters here and there.

>>734145210
I only remember one zombie turn into a blister head as grace and I was playing on classic, aside from scripted sequences. I feel like the mechanic was under-utilized but maybe I just got lucky. I also didn't kill every zombie because they made them exceedingly easy to get around with the push mechanic in this.

I hate how almost every boss has a chase sequence where shooting it is pointless and you have to wait for the "kill the boss" objective to know now you can start shooting. Back in the day in RE 3 you would be rewarded for killing a boss early when running away was an option

One thing I’ll admit is that he genuinely didn’t talk down or belittle Grace. He genuinely just wanted to know the password and didn’t even flip his lid at her when Leon pulled that stunt in the ark. OG Wesker wouldn’t have been so kind.

>>734144670
Yeah but as far as we know you can't be a baseline human and survive having the parasite. You already need to be a tyrant or have some kind of super virus to be able to handle it. Gideon is this big tall grey dude so it would be strange if he wasn't some kind of tyrant adjacent BOW himself.

>>734145368
did you dispose of the bodies? I suspect the game has a secret counter where if you dispose of like 3 or 4 you never see them

>>734144815
The goal of the tyrant was to have a BOW that was intelligent and can work independently, so it would make sense for the Tyrant development to eventually reach a point where they are equal to an adult human instead of just "pretty close" like MrX and Nemesis.

>>734145449
I never did once. Not joking. I always saved my injectors and ended up having way too many by the end of the game because I never encountered a scenario where I felt like I 'needed' to use it. Now I know to just use them whenever. Also I take that back I did get one or two to spawn in the basement, but pretty much never in the ground or upper level of the care center.

>>734137183
No he wasn’t, have you actually watched it? He spent the whole time being bitched out and disrespected by his cunty daughters, despite bending over backward to accommodate them, the autistic clone was a walking Olive Garden ad (BREADSTICKS), and the “real” Wesker is in it for all of two minutes, says very little, and looked like my 6th grade social studies teacher cosplaying (very poorly) as Blade.

>>734145010
That's Uroboros. The prototype virus that Wesker used reportedly had a 90% success rate. The only reason they didn't mass produce it is because they didn't want thousands of uncontrolled weskers running around.

>>734145595
>BOW that was intelligent and can work independently
But also one that wouldn't question orders. They could never be too intelligent. They just wanted a super soldier that would mindlessly follow orders (but still smart enough to carry out said orders). I feel like Gideon is a unique thing, probably derived from Tyrant research but his intelligence is completely in-tact. It also never explained why he has scars now, in the photo where he's younger he's just pale with yellow eyes and still massive but none of the crazy scarring. I think this game by far has the most unanswered questions and convoluted plot in the series. It's actually insane how far in that direction this game goes.

I like how Leon has a different aim animation for when he pulls out a gun right after taking a huge beating from something. Like with the old-timey redemption, he holds it one-handed for a bit.

Maybe he was augmenting himself, and that's what the scars are from. It's possible he made himself a nemesis as well.

>spencer wuz actually a gud boi IT WAS ALL THE CONNECTIONS!!!!
People don't realize how much of asspull this is
>OG RE1
>He is a sociopath shit head CEO
>OG RE2 & RE3
>Ditto but he sways massive power on a national level
>RE CV & RE0
>Sociopathy taken to next levels fucks over Markus and old man Ashford to take control of the company all by himself
>his acts just kept escalating through more games with shit such as project Wesker etc

I hope Chris gets a boas fight with another Wesker clone in the dlc and just unceremoniously kills him off with some one liner like "you'll never be him"
Before the end of dlc reveal that Wesker has a true blood memoey clone

He's not good though
He had a short moment of lucidity and humanity because his favorite test subject, Chloe, who he started seeing as a person died in the incident we see the flashback of. So he made a non infected clone so that she could live a normal life.
Spencer likely expected Elpis to never be released, but he made it as a fuck you to all of his back stabbing subordinates, where if they ever dragged Grace into the conflict she would be the trigger that ruins all of the people who stole his research and viruses

This, I never got the feeling the game tried to whitewash Spencer at all. What he did was just peak old man energy
>You think I'm a bad guy? Fuck you, I will make my final work be the thing that undermines all my previous work just to spite you
The whole thing about having regrets late in life and feeling a desperate need to turn a new leaf is something that happens

At this point, I’m considering every RE game released before 7 to be on the canon chopping block.

What you're missing is that he was a Nemesis.
The way they worked Nemesis was to implant a parasite into a body that took over brain functions.
Gideon is a symbiotic Nemesis, in the years since they have found a way to infect someone with the Nemesis parasite without causing brain death in the subject.

Is he supposed to a moldman?

you know zeno being a temu wesker and even gideon saying he's just a copycat

him and wesker being a clone of THE real wesker might be what capcom's plan after they wasted him in re5

because i have no fucking idea why they bring this guy into the game other than jobbing in the true end and killing leon in the bad end
