In case some of you can't figure out what I'm saying.

Look at it this way. In 1998 Racoon City is plaqued by the T-Virus outbreak. We all know that one. Six years later the whole Resident Evil 4 situation happens. We all know how that turned out. Hears my assumptions on Resident Evil: Degeneration. Leon returns home and sits around happily doing what the Hell ever he feels like doing. After a year that fuck Wesker manages to pull some shit and the T-Virus is re-introduced unto an unsuspecting innocent populace. Claire, for some reason, happens to be around and hooks up with Leon. They then procede to do whatever it is that they do in the movie. There's your continuity. If I'm missing something let me know.

Listen here people. In RE 4 Wesker is planning on re-establishing Umbrella by securing finances from other corporations. That was the whole point of ADA on the game. If any of you have played RE: CVX, then you'd know that Wesker is a superpowered bitch due to T-Virus infection. Kinda' like Alice in the movies. In the RE 4 game, Leons states that six years have passed since Racoon City. Assuming that it didn't take Leon more than a whole year to rescue Ashley and return homw, isn't it possible that Wesker was actualy able to restore Umbrella to some extent? Especially since he actualy was able to get the Plagas sample from Saddler thanks to ADA.

im a big Resident Evil fan, and i think it looks worth warchin, it says its for releas in japan. Does this mean we cant watch it hear in the states and if so will it be in japanese?

I'm deeply ambivalent. As an RE fan I'll make a point of seeing it anyway; I like many of the story elements and characters in the series overall but this could either be really well done or a total steaming pile.

I’m doubtful at all because Capcom has a poor history of inconsistent storytelling and in a feature which would have no gameplay mechanics to fall back on, the prognosis is bad. Consider: rather than reboot the series to fix inconsistencies and allow for more development, Capcom seems to make their projects with out any serious consideration to continuity or to where the story might be heading, then they add insult to injury by trying to spakle awkward gaps in the timeline with games either designed to explain the interim or distance themselves progressively further down the timeline, all the while turning the franchise into more of a shooter that happens to have some freaky monsters.

As for their character selection, Leon is an alright guy although they made him into a little too much of a willfully ignorant cowboy in 4("Illuminados" is not a mouthful, "Ahmadinejad" on the other hand...). And Chris. I hate Chris. He's a f**king boy scout who has never done/said anything interesting in the series aside from being a device to protect Rebecca and introduce Claire. What the writers at Capcom should do is bring back Barry, although he mostly played stooge to Wesker in game 1, he was still well developed. His dialoge was somewhat dorky, but entertaining; also, although he was easily manipulated at times, he has a good heart and is fiercely dedicated both to his team and family, speaking of; what was the fate of his wife and kids and possibly his relationship to them? Barry also knows his guns back to front which would allow for a broader spectrum of arms in a game or feature or at least the potential is there for some interesting modifications on what he already has.

Of course, I would consider it Ideal to have an entire feature based on the women of RE. Jill, Ada, Rebeca and Claire are all smart, tough, resourceful and HOT. What else do you need?

hype?

Goddamnit, what's the thing with posting pictures of an upcoming trailer and THEN release the trailer?

I might watch this movie. Resident Evil!

trailer!!!!

This looks pretty cool, I'm glad that they are working it into the official canon for the story.

Right on, Player.

Actually, there is no continuity mistake. Resident Evil 4 happens six years after the incident at Raccon City, which happens in the last days of September, 1998. The prologue or RE4 itself clarifies: "Six years have passed since that horrendous incident". Since the pics state that Degeneration happens seven years after Raccoon City, its safe to assume that this movie happens after the events of RE4.

Yes, while the RE storyline is plagued with retcons, it is somewhat decently unified in Umbrella Chronicles. While the gap between Code Veronica and Umbrella´s End chapter in RE:UC is considerable (4 years), said chapter explains the way Wesker is portrayed in RE4.

Anyway... can´t wait for this movie!!

Blindside, I was basically insane and hallucinating from lack of sleep when I wrote this post. You area absolutely right, it's RE4 Leon, not RE3 Leon.

I'd edit the post, but in a way that would be lying to the world about my status as a screw up.

I may suck at blogging, but I aint never gonna tell a fib.

Um, it actually looks like Leon is in his RE4 get-up. Cause if it was his RE2 get-up, then that one picture would have RPD on his back, but it doesn't. He is just dirty and the lighting makes it look simliar.

Whos to say you wont control the movie via Dragon's Lair style button presses on the remote!

Now I'm asking for too much...

@ Necros: This is true, but you never know. If it's a gorefest than it might be ok to watch.

Meh, why would this be good? Without the gameplay, this Resident Evil will basically be one long cutscene. And does anyone think the cutscenes in RE are that great to begin with?

You guys, please stop with the lettuce remarks. If you knew where the joke really came from, you wouldn't be laughing.

That Ron Workman is a sick bastard to mock me and my deceased father in that way.

Hes wearing the RPD jumpsuit in flashback scenes

That looks amazing.

Yes. This could be good.

I'm pretty stoked for this. I hope do the English voice overs alongside the Japanese. Worldwide release, pleez.

[i]I know I'm asking for too much[/i]

Baby lettucehead is laughing at you.

That's what I get for posting this at 3 in the morning when I should have been asleep. I think I hallucinated the RPD outfit.

So the good news is, it looks like RE's continuity is again made safe. The bad news is, I suck.

MMMM...I hate when I get chills over things like this, but so far, I'm loving what they have to show. Its not much, but the fact that Leon has his RE4 suit. Wow, it just makes me very very happy in a strange fanboy way.

This looks sweet, but it's definitely not the RPD uniform. FOSHO.

Well, this is sure to be better than the Hollywood movies, right?

This is what video game movies should be - CG vids made in the same style as the cut-scenes in the _video_games_. These things fail when they get too close to the Hollywood formula (look at Spirits Within), because it's a totally different medium. Hopefully this is as good Advent Children...

RE4 outfit there for sure

DO WANT. This could be friggin sweet

Finally, Claire returns... :) My all time favorite resident evil character.

Even if he was in his RPD uniform, who is to say the scene in question isn't a flashback of some kind?

Either way, this looks great so far :)

Damn,finally,true characters from the saga in the game..if the story continued after Extinction it would be another bad movie..

but now Leon n Claire are in it,witht he original clothing n story?...SWEET JESUS..i just hope more charas appear in it..like,Claire finds her brother Chris

3r0t1cn3rd: Check the gallery, you'll see what we're talking about.

That's just some random police dude in the picture, not Leon.

That's mid-RE4 outfit, definite?

well crap. really didnt mean to triple post. posting on teh psp. sorry bout' that

Looks awesome, and that does look like his RE4 outfit.

@ ArynThysis: No one is disputing the jacket. It's the other pic, where he has no coat. It looks a lot like the outfit he had on after you lost the coat.

is neither. RE4s Leons jacket sported a raised collar, fur lining, light brown stitching.....don't ask why I know. 5 playthroughs will do that to you.

I have to agree with DGX Goggles.

...That doesn't look like Leon's RPD uniform.

Actually, in fact, after looking at all the shots...all we see him in is his bomber jacket.

That is unless you're assuming that the shot with some random cop with "POLICE" on his back, and wearing a helmet, is Leon.

Perhaps the infamous Capcom Retcon has struck again...

And uhhh, yeah....That's not an RPD uniform, I'm quite sure it's the exact same outfit he wore in Re4.

How is RE4 screwing up the timeline? I don't get it. Did I miss something betweet Re3 and 4? The game takes place years later, what's wrong with it? They moved in a new direction. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong though, and please explain what I'm missing?

Are you sure he is in the RPD police uniform? Looks more like his new outfit to me, though I could be wrong.

YES!

This is EXACTLY what ADVENT CHILDREN was for FINAL FANTASY fans!

MOAR!!!
Wooooooot.

The timeline is a lie.

Looks awesome. though RE4 is screwing up whatever storyline RE has...or had.

i'll be ready to torrent this bad boy upon subbed release.

I never could follow RE's storyline anyway. Look pretty cool!

LIES! Any relation to [i]I am Legend[b]ary[/b][/i] crap!
