FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THE GAMES: Everybody knows there are many different ways to play through the games and that the ‘true’ story is a mixture of the various character’s paths and routes chosen throughout. REMAKE I have presented remake as a hybrid of Chris and Jill’s stories. The cannon ending has both Rebecca and Barry survive and this cannot be achieved in either separate scenario and so they have been merged. I have added my own preferences to events such as I still have Richard aid Jill against the Yawn in the attic, yet I have Richard survive and he later goes on to meet Chris in the aqua ring. My choices also take into account the Umbrella Chronicles, for example, originally I had the climax of Jill and Barry facing Wesker in the lab but I have now changed it to Chris and Rebecca as UC clearly shows that Wesker does not activate the self destruct system. RE2 I use aspects of all four scenarios although as the climax builds I go for Claire A/Leon B. UC seems to back this up. It includes the Sherry infection subplot and makes Ada’s survival more likely. Despite what Wesker’s Report says, we never see or have any evidence of him actually saving her life in any way. The only headache with this is that Leon B implies Ada got the G-Virus out of Raccoon through Sherry’s pendant whereas UC states she retrieved a tissue sample from Birkin’s corpse. RE3 I go for the ending where Barry makes a cameo. Everyone loves a bit of Burton. Also, Nicholai surviving makes a nice change from the usual formula for an RE baddie. He also pops up in an October dated report in RE Survivor and in the original beta build of RECV it is Nicholai who is attacking Claire at Umbrella’s European HQ in the helicopter. OUTBREAKS 1 AND 2 REOUT1 – OUTBREAK –Evening of 25th September Chief’s Diary indicates the shit hits the fan on September 23rd and soon the streets will be crawling with zombies. He spends the next day spreading confusion around the police. By September 26th and 27th, files such as operation report 1 and 2, and night watchman’s diary indicate there are plenty of police still alive and so this is pre-RE3 intro. I place it as the 25th, which means the army barricade the city on the morning of the 26th. Where Kevin uses the detonator to blow up the zombie army that is the first real sighting of a major group of the undead. Operation Reports, David’s Memo etc show that the zombies turn up en force on the 26th. As people have no real idea what is going on, why would they be drinking in a bar if they knew a zombie invasion was going on. 25th it is then. REOUT1 – HELLFIRE – Evening of 25th September This is placed at the same time as Outbreak, with the 8 players splitting up into groups of 4. The Apple Inn is close to J’s bar and smoke can be seen bellowing from it, indicating the place is on fire, which is the situation we find ourselves in in Hellfire. Also, with firemen patrolling the city, it must be very early into the incident if most of the emergency services are still alive and kicking. REOUT2 – WILD THINGS – Evening of 25th September/Early hours of September 26th. The players who make their way to the zoo find an Evacuation Order file which is written by RPD Officer, Raymond Douglas, which is the same officer who pops up and dies in Outbreak. So he obviously wrote this before he was killed by zombies, meaning this file must also be dated the 25th. Also, with the RPD planning evac choppers for civilians, most of the services must still be operational at this point, again indicating this takes place early in the outbreak. REOUT2 – UNDERBELLY – Morning of 26th September. Many of the files in RE2 and RE3 indicate the day where the city really begins to suffer is the 26th. The police station is attacked and the intro to this scenario indicates the zombies are really starting to show up en masse. As the player runs through the streets, many people are still alive and being attacked by the creatures so again, I place this early into the outbreak. REOUT – THE HIVE – Evening of 26th September The UBCS arrive on the night of the 27th, which means this has to take place before then as there is no sign of any bodies in the hospital during this scenario. REOUT – BELOW FREEZING POINT – Very early hours of September 27th I have this scenario follow The Hive as it ends in the sewers, which as we all know leads a direct access to the underground labs. REOUT 2 – FLASHBACK – Day of September 27th This is the most ambiguous of all ten scenarios as it takes place outside of the city and there really isn’t any indication of time. However, as this scenario takes place during the day, I have it follow directly on from the hive as the survivors take the train out of the factory above Birkin’s lab which is the only logical way to reach Raccoon Forest. REOUT 2 – DESPERATE TIMES – Evening of September 27th The RPD make a stand in the early hours of the 27th. Operation Report 1 states another battle breaks out at 1pm on the 27th and twelve more people are killed. So by early evening a handful of officers are still alive and so I place this scenario here. Jill finds Marvin during the daytime of September 28th and the four officers left alive in Operation Report 2 as of 2:30AM Sep 28th do not seem to be part of the escape plan of this scenario. REOUT1 – DECISIONS, DECISIONS – Afternoon of October 1st to dawn October 2nd. Pretty easy to place this. The survivors are holed up at the RPD and it takes them three hours to reach the university and Nicholai’s presence and events take them right up to the missile impact at dawn on Oct 2nd. REOUT2 – END OF THE ROAD – Evening of October 1st to dawn of October 2nd. Same as above. UMBRELLA CHRONICLES The main story scenarios are not considered canon and are therefore not used save for the Umbrella’s end levels. Chris and Jill do not stay together throughout the mansion incident and the Raccoon Destruction levels change the RE3 plot altogether. There is just no conceivable way they can be used. However, certain scenes are used such as my retelling of RE0, when the train crashes, I have changed it to add Richard’s radio call to Rebecca. BEGINNINGS really sums up what a pain in the arse Resident Evil’s story backtracking can do at times. These early Wesker levels are pointless and add nothing whatsoever to the plot besides his very unlikely meeting with Sergei at the end, I mean, what the hell was he doing there? If it wasn’t relevant to the plot I would have left out beginnings altogether. So to fit it in in a believable context, Beginnings 1 intro states that the reclamation project was scrapped following Marcus’ outburst. I thought the only conceivable reason for Wesker to go to the training facility would be to perhaps get an up close look at the mess Marcus has caused before they commit to blowing the whole place up. Obviously, the place is still T-Virus infested and so I had him contact Birkin to get him to go ahead with the destruct. Therefore Wesker knows the place is about to blow and decides to leave via the train tunnel, where he encounters Sergei. Some believe that Wesker was the one who set the self destruct but there is nothing to suggest he did so during these levels. The missing element is how he knew exactly when the facility would blow and so that’s why I put in he radioed through. As to why Sergei would be here well I believe the only reason is that he obviously has never trusted Wesker and perhaps believes he is going to betray Umbrella. Why else would he get the Red Queen to revoke his access privileges to the mainframe unless he suspected Wesker was planning on stealing the data? DEATH’S DOOR This is actually a nice little scenario and ties in nicely with Outbreak 2’s End of the Road scenario in that Ada encounters the Tyrant before it is consumed by the NYX. There are one or two problems however. Instead of Sherry’s pendant, Ada claims to have a G-virus sample from Birkin’s body, yet this would seem impossible as Claire is battling Birkin at the same time as Ada throws the rocket launcher to Leon in his fight with Mr X. How would Ada have time to do this, make her way back to the lab and get a sample after Claire defeats him and then escape the lab before it all blows up? On another note, if UMF 13 was located in Birkin’s lab and Sergei extracted it before the lab blew on September 30th, why is he still flying around with it in the early hours of Oct 2nd? THE JAMES MARCUS ENIGMA: 1978 OR 1988? Now we come to Marcus’ assassination which I know Zero, Umbrella Chronicles and Archives say happened in 1988 but I still don’t accept this. I believe the original plot had Marcus die in 1978 but due to some mistake or lack of communication this accidentally got changed. I let u read the following argument: CASE FOR:
