Okay, so without being bigheaded, or just a plain old geek, i do consider myself one of Resident Evils TOP fans. I own so many copies of ALL the games it's astounding. I can quote any line from the terrible scripts, i can play them through blindfolded.

i'm just posting this here because i wanted to know if anyone else on the site was a RE fan, and if so, what are your favourite bits from the franchise? Are you looking forward to the new upcoming movie AND game? Need some help? look no further!! cool.gif

"You want STARS?
I'll give you STARS!!"
Janiel
res evil is a great series.

my personal favorites are 2-3, although dead aim wasnt too bad.

but the movies have to be my favorite of the series...can't wait for R.E.A.
BurnSide
DEAD AIM!?

Are you NUTS boy?

Let me tell you what i think about Dead Aim. I rushed out to get this, i really did. I thought it would be a masterpiece.
Unfortunately, i was wrong. The story was the worst gargled piece of garbage that didn't even make sense, let alone fit into the Resident Evil universe. The movement was crap, hell the GRPAHICS were crap!! I wa so dissapointed i wanted to cry let me tell ya. ALMOST as bad as RE: Survivor, the first first-person Res. game. God, SOOOOOOOO bad!!

My fav was actually the Remake of Resident Evil 1 on the Gamecube. Immaculate. The characters movement, the enemies, the shooting, the graphics, the creepyfactor, etc etc, immaculate. It's so damn realistic.
Janiel
i said it's not too bad...not "it's f***ing great you shoud go but it!" damn calm down. i just meant it's fun to some extent. sheesh...i never played the remake (mainly 'cause i HATE nintendo). gramps...
BurnSide
heheh. Just saying.
Anyway, trust me, the Remake on the Gamecube, and Resident Evil Zero also Gamecube, are by far the best ones. That's not including Resident Evil 4 which is hitting the Gamecube in the fall. That one is beyond words. You can't hate Nintendo games simply because it's Nintendo. Most games come out on all platforms. Some however, are just to good for Playstation, and come out on more advanced machines. Playstation 2 simply can't support the remake, Zero and RE 4, they're to advanced.
Janiel
what the hell do you mean they are too advanced?!?!?!?!?!

playstation2's can handle anything and everything the crappy GC has/will realise...i mean the ps2 can even play DVD'S the GC can't even play music...GC's suck. end of story
BurnSide
hahaha.
That's just it mate. i HAVE a PS2, not a Gamecube.
The thing is, the reason why the Remake, Zero AND RE4 are coming out on the gamecube is simply because the PS2 can't handle the graphics and gameplay. It can't, and i will defend my beloved PS2 to the death. But Gamecube is simply better. PS2 CAN'T do anything, it's graphics are indeed quite poor compared to what the Gamecube can handle. Obviously you haven't seen the Remake or Zero etc because then you'll realise what i'm saying.
Janiel
disgust.gif ass...
BurnSide
Back to Resident Evil.

I'm a little unsure about the next movie. Maily because it's set entirely on the game, Resident Evil 3, but in the game Jill and Carlos obviously never ran into Alice, yet in the movie they are constant comrades. :S
Janiel
LOL i've noticed that too. exept for the hollywood tweeks it should be a solid movie
BurnSide
Of course it will be. I just hate inconsistencies and plot errors.

Can't WAIT to see the Nemesis tho!!

huh.gif Strange, I could have sworn the remake and zero were GC only due to the fact that Nintendo bought an exclusive contract with Capcom for them. Ahh, and what about the GC versions of 2 and 3? Truely pioneering works of the consoles graphic abilities. grin2.gif

As for the movie, I was rather disappointed that it wasn't so much survival horror as sci-fi killer computer. sad.gif

My one niggle with the otherwise wonderful Resi games has been the voice acting.

Yes, the scripts are pretty bloody poor, but the voice acting is sub-junior-school-nativity-play levels. I just cannot believe the game producers, after all that effort put into the games, allowed such atmosphere-ruining tripe to detract from their otherwise superb work.

No, GC did not buy an exclusive contract with Capcom.
Only last month a Resident Evil game was released on PS2, 'OUTBREAK'.
Outbreak was, once again, poor and shabby compared to the GameCube versions.
2, 3 and Code Veronica weren't remakes on the GC, simply conversions from Console to console. Shame, althought the graphics on all of those games are truly top notch for their time, it would have been dazzling to see remakes of those too with the GC's full capacity.

Yes, that was my main beef with the movie too. Although the feeling of stillness and camera angles were captured nicely, it left almost a bitter taste in the mouth, although it was nice to see familiar locations. But it could have been called something completely different to Resident Evil, and no one would have probably got the link! The original, George 'DOTD' Romeo script was better. It actually followed the first game, but only included Zombies, no monsters, and a poor storyline which completely deviated from the 'evil corportation' story RE fans love.
I was miffed there was no hunters, only one crappy looking LICKER that mutated. Bah.

Yeah Cufflink, hahah. It's a shame that RE began to get a trademark for horrible voice acting. Thankfully, the Remake and Zero on GC put and end to the silly arms failing and gut-renching voices that sound like they came from a Grade 10 radio show.

The official site is www.re2.com. It's really cool and interactive. Yup, the movie is called Resident Evil APOCALYPSE, but it was originally going to be called NEMESIS since it is actually based entirely on the game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. However they scraped the name when Star Trek beat them to it, haha.

the only thing i'm fearing about the nemisis is the idea that they might use cheesy CG for it...and that would suck!

good who needs crappy CG when you got those awsome bodycasts!(like the warewolves on Underworld.) BTW i don't think your supposed to say f***...
BurnSide
hahah, what, offended by naughty words??
Janiel
no i jst thought this was a "familiy friendly" site...
BurnSide
it's an awesome trailer, but so old. it was actually created before filming of RE2 started! hence there are actually NO footage of the new movie, just some from the first one.
Janiel
i'd go look at the trailers but im at school so...
daedelus
yea that was a downside 4 me 2
the other 1 is a woman just puttin on makeup

which turns out 2 be the virus ...........................idiots
BurnSide
haha well, that's not really how it goes. tongue.gif the virus that turns the town into the living dead is a bioweapon, the stuff shes putting on her face is genetics.
Janiel
i knew that!!!! tongue.gif
daedelus
they brought it on them relly by opening the hive and trying to test it on things tongue.gif

BurnSide
actually, as seen in RE2, the virus wouldn't have gotten lose except Umbrellas competitors sent a swat team into the hive, shooting the G-viruses leading researcher William Birkin, and stealing the virus. Birkin injected himself, transforming into a massive bioorganic weapon, and stalked down the swat team, killed them all and destroyed the virus they stole in the sewer system under the city. the rats spread the virus over the city while it was still airborne.
Janiel
so once again hollywood f***ed things up...
daedelus
at the end of res 1 you see a shadow of a person who looks wierd i always thought that was the dude that was scratched by the licker.
what happens 2 him?
BurnSide
in res evil 1 you see a shadow of a dude? i don't recall that.

the guy who got scratched turns into the NEMESIS, which is a HUGE programmed humanoid tyrant creature who is unstoppable and stalks you throughout Resident Evil 3, which is called NEMESIS. And in the next movie too.

At the end of the first movie you can hear the scientists say 'i want him in the nemesis project'.
Janiel
i remeber that! i got exited!!!! it was funny
daedelus
oooh yea i remember that part.

1 thing im waitin 4 in res 2 is jill valentine might be in it.
but it might be a crappy crossover

BurnSide
the 'shadow of a person' you're thinking of in RE1, that's probably the TYRANT, a lower case version of the NEMESIS, that you're thinking of.

she is in it. she's the playable character in RE3, the game the movie is based on. She's dressed the same as in the game, just the hair is different. However the crappy thing is in the next movie Jill runs into Alice and they fight out of the city together, but in the game there is no person called 'Alice'. Damned hollywood screwups.
Janiel
hollywood and thier damned f***ing antics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...ruin everything...

disgust.gif
daedelus
i was thinking is the mansion in the movie the same 1 from the game?
BurnSide
it's okay.

i don't understand why they skipped making a movie of resident Evil 2 the game tho. I mean, that one is as close as you can get to a movie, with the chest-bursting and the terminator-like Mr. X stalking you and the evil conpiracies of the chief and the giant croc and the love story between leon and ada etc etc.
BurnSide

No, it isn't.


There are actually THREE Umbrella-owned Mansions in the mountains of the Arkley forest surrounding Raccoon City. The first one that was discovered is indeed the one from the first game. That is a lab all of it's own, with lodgings for the scientists and whatnot. The second lab that was discovered (actually the first, on the timeline) was in RE0, which is where the T-virus was originally found. The third, the mansion in the movie, which is nothing more than a secret entrance into the main Umbrella lab, the Hive deep under the city.
daedelus
holy sh** u must know every thing about resident evil

notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif tongue.gif
BurnSide

daedelus

BurnSide
little to nothing. i was never a fan. i'm not a zombie fan, just a resident evil fan. wiggle.gif
daedelus
well i relly like the of the dead series yes some are corny and some have a bad story line but they have alot of action which is always good in a film.
Janiel
