Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 4 Remake: Separate Ways

Hey! I’m new to your blog, but i was wondering what you think wesker would be like as a husband throughout the years, maybe starting a year or two before the mansion. Thank you if you see this and have a wonderfull day or night!
[Listen, if there’s one thing we don’t half ass here, it’s the Albert Wesker content. So, I did a short list for every version of him that I could think of :) ]
[On another related note, it hurts my soul that there has been nothing but radio silence for Albert for about nine slutty, slutty years. The closest we’ve gotten were the cameo voice clips in Umbrella Corps. ,a gun named after him in seven, and HUNK talking to him in 2 remake in which we don’t even hear his voice. Capcom PLEASE!]
1990’s Wesker before the mansion incident
He would be a bit distant to be honest
All in when he is with you though
But he doesn’t want people from STARS and more importantly Umbrella to know about you
He knows that there’s too much danger for you to know anything bout his lifestyle or anyone from his life to know about you
This will translate with him loving being around you but, “having to work late” many nights as he wanted to be sure that there was no chance that you get involved
He knows that there’s even more of a chance of something happening to you as he is in the works of betraying Umbrella, STARS, and Birkin
So, basically there’s three different groups that would gladly hunt both of you down for sport (truth be told, he’s more concerned about Annette than he is about William)
Because of that your support, no matter how unknowing, is appreciated in his time of subterfuge
It feels like it’s just he and you against the world
Has a bit more of an ornery streak than most people think he would, but doesn’t know how to really express it
He has to kind of learn that he is no longer at the Umbrella Training program or a special ops police force and that at home most people don’t practically brutalize each other for a joke
In his defense, he doesn’t mean to
He just doesn’t realize his own strength
Goes to playfully hip check you and accidentally send you flying across the room
1990’s Wesker after the mansion incident
He would be a lot more emotionally distant than he was before
Getting back in touch with you and getting you out of Raccoon City would be his first priority
He knows there’s going to be a lot of bad things going down there soon
Partially because he’s going to cause some of them
Though he would be sure that you were with him again, he would be very quiet and withdrawn
He’s going through a LOT what with the reanimating and what not
That’s part of his reasons for trying to keep some distance from you as he’s not very sure what he is now and how he might start acting
He’s headed enough Umbrella projects that he knows that even though he feels fine at the moment, the there’s noting stopping his biology from freaking out somewhere in the next few weeks or so
To be honest, he would rather have you somewhere really far away from him rather than right here
But, seeing as Vladimir is searching for him and anyone that he could use to get to him, you have to stay right here
His playful side will be gone for a good while, and he’ll be a bit testy
But he’ll still want you around, not matter how much he might accidentally make it seem otherwise
Late 90’s Wesker (c. Code Veronica)
He’s much more at peace with who he is now
In fact, he rather enjoys all his new powers
And he loves to show them off to you too
While it might be good to see that he is back to his old self, there’s also something that’s a bit concerning that’s starting to emerge
It’s not enough that he didn’t die, or horribly mutate for that matter
He seems to be drunk on power and wants more
And while you were often assured that he wouldn’t be taking things overboard( rather more overboard than they have already gone) he suddenly told you that he was going to be away for a few months
Seeing as he was working for another sketchy bio company and in the process of starting his own operation by this point, free time isn’t really something that he has a lot of
So the only reason that he would ever need to go somewhere himself was if he planned on getting modified in some way again
He would call you any time that he could while he was away and make sure that you were still at the safe house that he had set up for you and that no one had tried to bother you
He has his playful streak back, but this time he’s a little rough on purpose
Thinks it’s funny when you stumble from something he does
But would never actually try to hurt you for real
He does go a bit back into his dower introspection when he comes back after those few months he talked about and half of his face burnt
Early 2000’s Wesker
Here’s the thing, you would either hardly see him or you would see too much of him
There will be times where he might be gone for a week to a month at a time as he is a very busy bio-terrorist during this time
He’s not only higher up in that organization now, but he’s also putting the finishing touches on dismantling Umbrella and taking all of the BOW data for his own purposes, and make sure that Ada Wong was on her way to Spain
But, when he does get to be with you again, he is going to be very possessive
The two of you will basically be connected at the hip, and there won’t be a single moment spent apart
At this point, it doesn’t matter if you ask him to stop adding more superhuman stuff because he has himself convinced that he needs it for both of you
He’s already starting to get the idea of world domination rather than just carving himself a little niche in the seedy places of the world
His other reason that he tells you and himself, whether or not it’s really true is he needs to be stronger so he can protect you better
He’s got himself caught in a loop where he gets more powerful, so people are more likely to go after him, so he gets more powerful, so people are even more inclined to go after him, and so on, and so forth
Whatever the case, your husband is starting to seem less and less human as time has gone on
Maybe there was something more going on with him than he thought initially
Not to mention he has mentioned more than once that it might be a good idea for you to get the same superhuman enhancers that he has
All because he wants the best for you, of course
2009 Wesker
There’s no denying at this point that this is most certainly not the man you married all those years ago
This guy is insane
A gentle insane to you, as what little sanity he has tells him that you are important to him
His new self translates that as you are the only other person in this world aside from him that in better than everyone else
The suggestions that you become super human turn into insistences
Now, it’s not like he’s going to sneak Ouroboros into your system while you’re asleep or something
But there’s a clear understanding that it will happen eventually, more likely sooner rather than later
Is super possessive of you by this point
He will have you with him all the time, and just lock you in a different room if he thinks things are getting too dangerous
By this point he literally thinks that he is a god, so there’s no need to doubt his ability to protect you no matter what
Speaking of which, he thinks he’s a god, so he knows what’s best for everyone, and that includes you
Again, he tells himself and you that it’s all for your good and that his moon goal here is still to protect you, even when it might not seem like it
Here’s the thing, if you aren’t for all of his, “total world saturation,” business and don’t want to be turned into a sticky, tentacle monster of some sort, then you’re only hope is going to be that Chris and Shiva get you away from him soon
If you are with him on everything, and you luck out and don’t have a visceral and violent reaction to the Ouroboros, then I hope you like volcanoes :)
Wesker c. 2013
He would be similar to how he was back in ‘09, but a bit more subdued
There’s nothing that will get someone to take it down a peg better than getting thrown into a volcano
He would be even more possessive and would quite literally make you disappear from the entire would except for him
This is partially because he can’t have anyone know that he’s still alive, but also because he knows that if he was out of the picture and someone knew that you were involved with him in any capacity then you would be hounded and watched for the rest of your life
So, as soon as he has the chance, he would fake your death and spirit you away to somewhere that only he knew about
Going with him being possessive, he would be even more paranoid than he was before, and would make sure that he was the only person that you saw, not only because he didn’t want anyone knowing that either of you were still alive, but also because he literally wants the be everything to you
Would be almost sickeningly sweet to you, to the point where it’s unnerving rather than nice
And it’s incredibly noticeable because of how vicious he is with literally everyone else
At this point he’s more monster than man, the various viruses and parasite mutations basically piloting his body, and running off of his base emotions
That’s why he’s so hell bent on gaining power, and in turn so possessive of you
All that gnawed up brain of his can process now is the fact that you were somehow important to him, and the thing pretending to be him tries to pantomime what it thinks husbands are supposed to do, which is not quite real enough or in Wesker’s original personality so it’s very uncanny valley
Like sometimes if you ask him something or maybe do something that mess under his skin, clawing at his brain doesn’t quite understand, he’ll basically dissociate for a moment while his internal spaghetti monster does a google search in his old memories to see what the correct reaction is
Even then there have been times where it pulls up the wrong one
And you will be seeing a LOT of him too
Now that he’s the one running everything, and that he’s being secretive and won’t be going out and doing much things himself, there will be plenty of times where he can just keep track of things from a few computers where ever the two of you are currently living
While he would still want you to get all of the progenitor virus related stuff that he has to keep you with him potentially forever, he’s not as pushy with it, as the turn of events in Africa a few years back are making him rethink his strategy on things, including that
Overall, a pretty lonely, yet fairly comfortable life other than the fact that your husband is one of the most wanted men in the world, and sometimes acts like he’s straight from an episode of the Twilight Zone with how uncanny he can be

Comments on Resident Evil Death Island
- There's nothing in Jill's eyes in the beginning, which is awesome. Like, sad, but a awesome touch. She was in Wesker's hand for a long time, what a nightmare for her, it's like Killgrave and Jessica Jones with all the things he made her do it, lost in her own body.
-Claire lesbian conformed. She stopped in the middle of the action scene to help a beautiful brunette, and almost died because of it. Also, how the hell she escaped that? I'm glad for sure but I wanted to see that.
-Chris, Claire, Leon and Jill together, that's the dream. Leon and Jill was also fun af to see. Love all those fanservice with all them together. I waited years to see that and loved every second of it
-Chris and Claire together in action, gosh please let the Code Veronica remake rumors be real and if it is, let be goddamn good as the original.
-Im so Valenfield right now. And with Valenfield I mean Claire x Jill. The chemistry. Them caring about each other, the villain using Claire to bully and mess with Jill's feelings. I can't, they really feed us shippers with this movie.
-The villain became what he hated. But I like the origin story of him being a Umbrella soldier survivor that had to kill his friend. Still, in the end he became the "I want to destroy the world" bla bla. And the damn long speech... I mean, glad it was because if it wasn't Rebecca wouldn't get there in time to save them.
-Yes, THEY GOT JILL!
Love that everyone had its moments but Jill deserved to be the star here.
-Gotta love a fanservice done right.

I'm back into my Resident Evil hype phase (we have an on again off again relationship, 7 and Village in particular don't interest me so when these games are around interest dies down but when any of the remakes come out it rises back up again!) and since I didn't do a customary poll back when I got them here it is now!

hello~
For the resi ask game... 🎮 and 📖,please? :D
hello there! :D and thank you for asking!! 💖
🎮What’s favourite main game? (0-8 and Code Veronica)
original re4 is my baby i will forever love and adore it and keep shouting about that from the rooftops :'D it was life-changing for me in 2005! I'd mainly played stuff like Zelda and Mario so far, except for Eternal Darkness (which is amazing 10/10 would recommend) so it struck with how different it was. also, Leon? the prettiest. those legs!! but I'll shut up about re4 before I'll babble and embarrass myself more :'D
also I've got to say that re6 comes really damn close! it's got the most angst, it's got a super pretty older Leon, it's got Piers, it's got Jake, it's got Sherry, it's got it all :'D also it's so much fun to get to play as a co-op, i gotta admit, i enjoyed that greatly. i do get why some people don't like it bc it's not as horror-focused and more action, but i loved it. and I loved how the different campaigns had different vibes to them so clearly!
📖Do you like learning about the lore? Is there a specific part you like learning the most?
ehmmmm yes and no? I do love picking up details in the games and the movies, and I think I am pretty well-versed in what canon entails. but I am picky? I don't want to go scour through the (dubiously) canon books or interviews or such. i don't believe in word-of-god when it comes to media. to me, if it's not right there on the screen for everyone to see, it doesn't count. if that makes sense.
also, unpopular opinion, but game-wise there hasn't been anything new I've been into in a looong time. I don't really give a shit about the last two main games or the latest remake 😅 so I'm ignoring them? I wish everyone who likes them fun times with them! but personally, ehhhhh, no. but up until that part I am interested in the lore, definitely.
I'd be interested in A LOT MORE lore tbh if they'd give us more but RE hasn't ever really been a super lore-heavy series tbh. they give what's needed but don't deep-dive into things really. and it'd be nice if they did dive a bit deeper sometimes.
...again I'm rambling lol I'm sorry I'll stop now :'D

anyway. followup. rank the resi games from ur faves (for whatever reason, could be story, the characters, the game making u want to curl up in a ball and cry, ur metric is whatever u want it to be) to ur least faves..... i've never played any of them and only have minor knowledge of a few so like. im fascinated.
I'm soooooo biased anyway
1. Resident Evil 4 - my introduction to the series, which was good bc i was such a scaredy-cat as a kid, the whole "let's make it less survival and more action" was nice. Playing RE2make, i missed the freedom of being allowed to "clean up" an area. I love RE4 i love RE4 Leon, my first fictional crush, i love Ashley, i love Luis, i love the putas, and i love the lake monster named Lake from the lake named Lake. Mwah. Chef's kiss. Perfect game, in my esteemed opinion. The remake should have given us even gorier death scenes instead of cleaner, but I appreciate the fact that they made Luis and Leon's dynamic (even) gayer. So many iconic lines, I don't even know which one to quote. I didn't know your right hand is going to bingo.
2. Resident Evil 1 (this is actually n1 spot but RE4 is there bc you gave me that freedom). Like. I mean. Listen. We gotta respect our elders. And RE1 fucks so hard. She was the blueprint for everything. The dog corridor. The mansion level of all mansion levels. Jill sandwich. What more could you want from a video game. There is multiple endings though and I forgot how they went about that, but I assume there's a "true" ending for the lore. Also in 2002 they remastered it and put Jill on the cover of their "you can choose to play as a girl or a boy" game that revolutionised gaming and media in general? And some companies in 2018 acted as nobody wants to buy a game where the girl protag is the one primarily marketed and/or where you play as a girl. Looks at ubisoft.
3. Resident Evil 2. This might be bias, but it might not be. Because RE3 is more action-y and while I did say I appreciated that as a kid in RE4, i feel like it worked in RE4, but not so much in 3? I think i'm biased. Anyway RE2 was cool because heellooooooo Mr X? Iconic. The soundtrack? Divine. The way you had A and B sides ?!?!?!?!? Four different scenarios because depending on who you chose in A, you'd have a totally different story????? Iconic. 10/10 in my esteemed opinion. I love Resident Evil 2. Can Claire and Leon please just ba----
4. Code Veronica. I still have no idea what the fuck happened in this game. 8/10 at this point I went "what the hell is this lore" (/pos). Like i'm trying to come up with an example to give you but i can't. Love the gothic setting tho
5. Resident Evil 3. Lipbite. Clockwork level. Nemesis.
Tumblr media
Horror game girl swag. I dunno, I don't have much to say. She was iconic, but by this point we're in "i'm not exactly a shooter for these games" territory.
Now. Much as I love RE4 it definitely was a sign of things to come. Scratches the back of my neck. I kinda don't care for RE5 and 6. I know Chris punches a boulder in one of them. I do appreciate that they turned it back to survival horror with 7 and Village, buuuut. They lost me. As I said, I don't care for the lore that much, it spans too long, there's a lotta new characters (and I'm not one for "legacy" characters anyway, ik you can only do so much with the originals, but :( i just prefer the smaller cast and our classics. But i get that Capcom wants to have the games set in the years they're releasing, so they kinda haaave to, but </3). 7 and Village definitely were cool, but they somehow felt~~~ a bit less Resident Evil-ly... if that makes sense. 7 was great, but Village's bosses... I dunno. I wasn't much of a fan of how it fit into the sci-fi world of RE.
Listen. I think RE was best when it had the static camera and the horrible dread and when it made you wonder if you should shoot or not. The camera in the original was good because it was part of the horror. No you may NOT have the freedom to see what's around you. Fuck you. The first person in 7 and Village are actually fine for it but😢 i'm a grandma as it goes. RE0 also sounds super cool, but I haven't played it nor seen anyone play it. Will have to get on that tbh

not even just the ending teased re5make im like 3 chapters in wesker is so fucking present in this. they really want the audience to be asking "wheres wesker?" "what will be happening to wesker next?" now to just remove the really obvious racism in re5 and keep the fun co op with friends please god keep the co op
capcom said you will look at wesker you will get re5 remake and you're gonna like it. as much as i dislike code veronica they literally need to remake it first cuz it sets up a lot of re5, especially chris and wesker's relationship

Hltb resident evil 3 remake
Tumblr media
Hltb resident evil 3 remake .dll#
Hltb resident evil 3 remake update#
Hltb resident evil 3 remake upgrade#
Hltb resident evil 3 remake code#
Hltb resident evil 3 remake license#
Will Lady Dimitrescu or anyone else in Resident Evil Village eventually make this list? Only time will tell. So, in celebration of Resident Evil Village, or Resident Evil VIII, launching, now is as good a time as ever to look at some more characters in the series that are considered by many Resident Evil fans to be the cream of the crop. Some have persisted throughout many adventures while some were one-and-done situations whether they just went off and did something else or died. It’s been around for over twenty years so that fact may be obvious. There are two things that stand out about RE3: Nemesis and the city setting.
Hltb resident evil 3 remake code#
It's not quite as good as 2 or the REmake but it's miles better than Code Veronica, Zero, or the original RE1. Updated May 5th, 2021 by Tristan Jurkovich: Resident Evil is a series filled with characters. RE3 is one of the better old-school RE games. The site How Long To Beat measures RE3's main story at six hours, which made some fans feel shortchanged. Some are more memorable than others for one reason or another so let’s rank them out to see who is the best of the best. 2020's Resident Evil 3 Remake was great, but it got criticism for its short run time. From heroes to villains, there are a lot. In celebration of whatever they announce, this might be a good a time as any to remember the most beloved characters from these games. RELATED: The Best (& Worst) Area From Each Resident Evil Game This is most likely tied to Resident Evil VIII. It’s not slowing down anytime soon either as Capcom has already announced a big set of announcements for an upcoming stream. I have no relation with , if you like their work please go and support them.The Resident Evil series has been growing strong for over two decades now.
Hltb resident evil 3 remake license#
I think you need a premium license because custom fields are not supported in free license (not sure). Is it worth it Let's talk about itFollow Jake on twitter: https://t. Lengths are shown with leading zeroes because is the only way to properly order the games since custom fields are strings and not integers. Resident Evil Zero gets the HD remaster treatment for PC, PS4, Xbox One, 360, and PS3. You can use the "Arrange By" option to order the games by length. Metal Gear Ac!d will get no results but you can then change the search to Metal Gear Acid). If there's no results you can manually change the search words (e.g. A window will popup with all the games found and you can choose which one correspond to your game.
Hltb resident evil 3 remake update#
So config the first time and stick with that.Īccess the option by right-click a game (only one game, no massive update yet). It’s probably better to play that first in order to get used to the mechanics and controls in RE2/RE3, because not only is 2 more simple with that stuff, but Nemesis won’t allow you much time to learn lol. It says about 15 hours for completionist, but most games, I usually get a lot more hours out of, because I explore everything. Note: If you change the fields names it will not update the games that already have information, so you will end up with duplicated fields with different names and you will have to manually delete them (edit game -> custom fields tab). It’s not necessary, but I’d definitely recommend doing so. Anyone got longer than the HLTB hours bigmalky 1 year ago 1. Default: Main + Extra LengthĬompletionistFieldName: Change completionist length custom field name. MainExtraFieldName: Change main story + extra length custom field name. Resident Evil Village is officially available, and according to early players, it takes around 10 hours to beat. MainStoryFieldName: Change main story length custom field name. MainExtraLength: Enable/disable main story + extra length update. Default: true.ĬompletionistLength: Enable/disable completionist length update. Default: true. MainStoryLength: Enable/disable main story length update.
Hltb resident evil 3 remake .dll#
You can configure which ones you want to add by editing the file HLTBPlugin.xml.īecause there's no oficial API from HLTB, I had to parse the HTML, which means that as soon as they change something on the HTML this plugin probably will stop working.Įxtract files (dll + xml) to : Launchbox/Plugins/HLTBPlugin.
Hltb resident evil 3 remake upgrade#
This adds 3 custom fields for Main Story, Main + Extra and Completionist length. As part of our Resident Evil 3 Walkthrough, you might also be interested in: All Gun Upgrade Locations, All Hip Pouch Locations, All Ammo Crafting Combinations, All Herb Combinations and Their. I made this plugin to add length information for certain games, mostly rpgs. Plugin that scrapes information from and adds custom fields with game lengths information.

The future of Resident Evil and Valenfield (of course)
So It’s me again and I’m here to talk a little about what I think it’s going to happen with this series and my main ship - “Valenfield all the way, always”
First let’s talk about this game here...
Resident Evil 3 Remake
Tumblr media
First of all, I’m really happy to see Jill again, the last time we got a chance to play using her was in Revelations 1 and that game was released in 2012 - that time she also got a different character model
What I liked about the game was the nostalgia, if we look at the graphics and gameplay it's the same engine so it hasn't changed much (not that this is bad). In this game we have the fact that Nemesis proves himself to be the most feared BOW so far in the franchise, all the persecutions and all the determination to eliminate JV, his ability to evolve and continue only with the goal of killing someone shows what Umbrella wants, to create life that is capable of changing the course of a war...But Umbrella made a stupid decision to make this creature go after Alpha’s team finest. (Spencer was trying to become a god - that’s why he used Umbrella)
Capcom had informed us that their idea was to launch RE2 and RE3 together, that is, the game model was almost ready that’s why it didnt take long to release RE3, if you played both you would not complain that the main campaign is short but playing only RE3 it feels like it is very short... Indeed that is, If you analyze the city map it is small and does not give you any freedom to explore, same thing with the other maps and this is very sad, especially for a fan who wants to explore every corner of RC.
ABOUT VALENFIELD
I had said in a post before that there would be a good number of people shipping Jill with Carlos (I was prepared for that), but what I didn’t expect is that she wouldn’t mention Chris in the game, we didn’t even get a chance to go into RPD as Jill to read the letter he had left.
Tumblr media
BUT THERE IS MORE
Tumblr media
WTF, SHE DIDN’T SAY A WORD about Chris probably dying, one thing that I miss a lot from old versions of RE games, is that we see what they are thinking about the object when they interact with it - when he actually moves to Europe he leaves a letter saying he’s okay so Claire wouldnt be worried (HE’S THE BEST BROTHER - dafuq)
BUT THERE IS MORE - HOW DO I UNLOCK HER DIARY ???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted to see how Capcom would adapt this, but they didnt put this file in the game - Not that we know of (because her diary is a secret file in the original game)
AND FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD
Tumblr media
In the old version of the game we had this epilogue, but I didn't think they were going to put it that way, because it was going to be kind of weird, so what they did was show Chris (Chris is highly associated with the color green) with the vaccine - that means - She found him in Europe / She is probably in the same apartment as him, because who the hell would rent a place if there is a possibility of sharing the rent
Tumblr media
Since I’m really mad about the lack of Valenfield content let’s talk about the future of Resident evil games.
REMAKES or new stories ? Why not both ?
Tumblr media
An insider at Capcom said that RE8 has been rebooted,this would mean that the game would be far from release but the beta testers of RE Revelations 3 had great reviews, so REV3 became Resident Evil 8.
But that doesnt mean that we wont get more Reworks in the meanwhile and there is two games that comes in my mind right now.
Resident Evil : Code Veronica
Tumblr media
Whoever played this game knows how good it is, the protagonists are nothing less than the Redfield brothers and Stevie Burnside unraveling the mysteries of the Ashford family, and this game can easily be remade, because it has so much information about Resident Evil universe, about Wesker and Umbrella, let’s not forget about the horror, this is a survival horror game for sure, the files that we see in the camp are scary af.
Since RE has been getting a lot of new fans this would be appreciated by the new one and the old ones. Claire’s character model already showed a lot of interest to play her again in code Veronica - and to see a young Chris Redfield again it would be so cool.
But there is another option, that in my opnion wouldn’t even be considered a Remake, because i’m not talking about an actually a game.
I’m talking about RESIDENT EVIL:Umbrella Chronicles
Tumblr media
Don't let the WII logo fool you Resident Evil Revelations was a Nintendo DS exclusive, when it became multiplatform it was very welcome and had great reviews, being the first of the most recent games to bring Survival horror back
Umbrella Chronicles is one of the most important in the history of Resident Evil because it’s the only one that shows how Chris and Jill set the end of Umbrella (this sound familiar, right ? ) that’s because you saw this in the ending
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it should be after Code Veronica to follow chronological order
This game is really short, and it shows so many stuff about RE 0 and RE1, so if they decided to make a “Remake” version of Umbrella’s fall it would be so nice because they wouldnt be actually tied to the original game - (Like RE2 and RE3) - they could use the same history but have creativity freedom to do more things, more maps, more enemies, more dialogue PLEASE and keep the “No Ladies first this time?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So this is it, thanks for reading (english is not my main language), let’s enjoy and play a lot of RE during these hard time (COVID-19)
If you have something to say about RE future or Valenfield I would like to read your opinion.
Thanks and see you later !

Thoughts on Jill Valentine
Hello, friends! My responsibilities for my trading company job have abated in the interim, so I thought perhaps I would come back around to Jill, as promised. 
Thoughts on Jill Valentine:
I will begin this by saying that it is appropriate that she was asked alongside Mia because there is one outstanding issue that I have between the both of them: The need to be saved. Though I find Jill to be leagues more competent.
We’ll get to it in full a bit later. 
I will make no secrets that Jill has never been my most favourite of protagonists. Most of those issues stem from “3: Nemesis” and Five, though I am not adverse to including bits from One and Revelations. In one word, Jill is tolerable. Though, if given a choice (depending upon who my choices are) I will usually pick someone else.
A bit of background on Miss Valentine: I am utterly convinced that Capcom has changed her birthdate. I remember quite vividly scoffing that they made her birthdate Valentine’s Day, but now that I look it up again it seems its in May. Well, that’s at least a half a point in her favour. It’s become less mind-numbingly stupid. She is French-Japanese-American, whose father was a professional thief. In addition, she received Delta Force training through the US Army. Unusually adept at lock-picking, she then (apparently) gains the moniker - the Master of Unlocking. She also, again apparently, is adept at bomb disposal, though I cannot remember an instance in which this is exhibited. Though I can remember many instances when this would have come in handy. Jill. 
Post-Delta Force and US Army tenancy, Wesker recruited Jill for STARS - described as an elite special forces operation for the RPD comprised of military veterans and weapons specialists (put a leaf in this for when I eventually get to Rebecca Chambers). Joining her in STARS are Forest, who she already had a friendship with prior to working together, and Chris. She is the only female officer on STARS Alpha Team, and works as a Breaking and Entering specialist. Forward onto the Mansion Incident.
Again, I’ve mentioned that if given a choice, I will usually not pick Jill to play as. However, that is not to say that I have not played Jill’s scenario in One. My primary complaint about Jill’s Scenario is as follows: It is fundamentally easier than Chris’. She’s got the lockpick set, so she doesn’t need to find Old Keys. She has more inventory space. In the space where she finds the zombie in the bathtub, she stomps his head mid-cutscene and does not have to fight him. She starts with the handgun and receives higher powered weapons whilst Chris has a higher chance of critical headshots. She can mix chemicals to weaken Plant 42 and cut the boss fight in half. Jill can skip certain puzzles in Arklay with Barry’s help, one under the guise of “saving” her from the falling ceiling where you retrieve the shotgun. No need to find the broken shotgun, and you have access to the shotgun as soon as you unlock the area which makes accessing the Armour Key much easier. I used to believe that this was a reflection of the character, but now I believe it is a bit of thinly veiled misogyny on Capcom’s part. ): 
About the opening to her scenario, after running amok in the forest and into the mansion - “There are only three STARS members left now. Captain Wesker, Barry, and myself. We don’t know where Chris is.” YOU’VE JUST HAD HIM AT THE DOOR! HOW HAVE YOU LOST HIM? Also, check your maths, Jill. That’s four STARS members. We have one negative point here in that she’s managed to lose her partner in the amount of time it takes to cross a threshold. Anyhow, like how it is when you play as Chris, the other is locked in the cell in the labs and must be released with the MO discs prior to the T-002 battle. Canonically, Jill escapes with Chris and Barry. Chris escapes with Jill and Rebecca. Rebecca does not make an appearance in Jill’s game, nor Barry in Chris’. Brad is there in the background, flying the helicopter he had damned them with at the beginning. It’s a bit of a flub.
Moving on to 3: Nemesis and the Remake and whatever happens in between the events of Arklay and the destruction of Raccoon City. Gathering from memos in Two and Three, shortly after the Arklay Incident, Chris and Jill take their concerns to Chief Irons, requesting the launch of an investigation into Umbrella and all the related shenanigans. Irons, being involved and heavily steeped in wrongdoing, denies this request. STARS all but disbands, as Chris leaves for Europe in August 1998, Barry moves his family to Canada and follows after Chris, Rebecca is doing fuck-all, and Irons has suspended Jill and ordered her confined to her flat. That leaves... Brad Vickers as STARS. The only member. In office. Everyone else is dead, suspended, or AWOL. I suppose one way to operate as a corrupt organisation is to keep the most inept person as your only functioning operative. I digress, this is about Jill and not the bucket of maladroitness that is Brian Irons.
Jill remains in Raccoon City under the pretense of attempting to locate NEST, with the intention of following behind Chris, Barry, and Rebecca(?) a bit later. I believe also she was intending to sort through the rumours of the development of Golgotha, but I cannot find accurate citation of that. Things that she manages to do whilst confined to her flat for a month behind the departure of the other STARS members: Not that at all. I have long wondered what it was that was actually keeping Jill in her flat, aside from orders from her no-longer boss, when she had intentions of leaving on 30 September. I don’t imagine that with what remains of STARS poking around, save for Brad, that Irons would put a definite date on the lifting of her suspension. “Yes, now you may leave to bring down the organisation that I am tangentially working for”. The Three Remake expands on this a bit, as it seems that perhaps Jill was not emotionally nor mentally suited for travel outside of the flat. In which case, I question whether steeping herself in all things Umbrella was perhaps exacerbating her condition. I do believe that there is a fundamentally large difference between Three: Remake Jill and 3: Nemesis Jill. First off, trousers. Enough said. I don’t do my personal investigations sitting in a pleather mini-skirt and a tube top with a rather practical jumper tied around my waist, and neither should you. I much rather imagine a suspension to be carried out in pyjamas, but again I am not the type of person to dress at home if I’m not needed to.
Secondly, Three: Remake Jill holds up much better against Nemesis without the help of Carlos (who is also rather incompetent and sexist), than her original counterpart. Her reactions to goings on are much more believable, and for much of the game she has absolutely no issue putting Carlos within appropriate boundaries. He tries to explain to her what a radio is, she snaps at him. He touches her, she tells him not to. You are a stranger, sir, please observe courtesy. Not to mention, a stranger who is working for the organisation we’ve just found out is responsible for the development of bioweapons and viral agents. At least bother to ask her name, first. A bit of a hint, Carlos: It isn’t “supercop”. If we are to continue on with this Jill further on in the series, I will support it. I would quite enjoy a long-standing female protagonist that has no issue scoffing at male protagonist foolishness and scolding their perspectives. Perhaps it is a good thing that she and Leon have never met in any official capacity.
Three: Remake Jill still falls prey to damsel-syndrome, as I’ll call it, upon being infected by Nemesis. Carlos comes in as the knight in shining armour, having become infatuated with her after knowing her for exactly four hours. I like to imagine that this New Jill could wake up from her comatose state, shout about her autonomy, and then go back to sleep. This is however, remedied by some sort of favour-trading as she does save Carlos in a quid-pro-quo a bit later. I do have concerns about how far Jill allowed Nikolai to get without shooting him down, but that’s unimportant in the long run. There is also a bit of inconsistency between games in how Jill and Carlos escape Raccoon City and what happened just prior, but those are unimportant to our examining of Jill.
All in all, New Jill is portrayed as a competent individual, which I think serves much better to support her character in instances such as the Fall of Umbrella chapter in The Umbrella Chronicles, which leads into the formation of the BSAA and her involvement with them.
Functionally, from 2003 until at least 2009, Chris and Jill mostly function as a singular unit. 2005- they work together to subdue T-ALOS. 2004- The Queen Zenobia, Queen Semiramis fiasco in which Jill carries Parker through a sinking ship as Chris slams doors in her face- as loving partners do. (I do want to mention in an aside that so many people find themselves in trouble whilst looking for Chris. It is the plot of NO FEWER than four games. One, Two, Code: Veronica, and Revelations. Maybe even a bit of Six. Call it four and a half). Revelations does delve into a bit of why I find Jill to be competent amongst the ranks of highly amateur BSAA agents. First off, she reads the manuals for things. She realises the importance of memos! Secondly, she is shown deducing and explaining quite a bit about the situation they find themselves in to Parker, who is often none-the-wiser. An argument could be made that Parker is a newly ported FBC emigre and therefore does not yet have the same expectation but I disagree having seen the... eptitude of other agents. She is rather instrumental in uncovering the whole FBC - Veltro - BSAA mess and quite honestly tends to hold her own in that installment. If only the dodge function worked better. Anyhow, back to her partnership with Chris- it canonically ends with the Lost in Nightmares campaign in Five. In which she quite literally bowls Wesker out of a window in defense of Chris and (sort of) the world. If there is any secret method of getting me to enjoy a character, it is self-sacrifice for the sake of another. There is something so beautiful about it. Except Ethan, nothing can redeem him. Jill functions best as a character when she is partnered with Chris. I cannot say that in any of these scenarios I have profound issues with her. Forward onto the events of Five and about where we will end this tangent.
Jill and Wesker, obviously, both survive the fall from the Spencer estate. Jill is kept for experimentation due to the existing muted strain of T in her body from the events of Three. The antibodies she possessed were used by Wesker in attempts to make Uroboros more accepting of human host bodies. During the time that she was “in his care” (poor choice of words, I know), he repeatedly injected her with Progenitor strains and took the resulting antibodies. As a result of the testing and antibody removal, Jill’s hair, skin, and eyes lightened in cryostasis (I am still trying to make sense of this bit). Once she had reached the extent of her usefulness, Wesker volunteered her for the P30 project, a Las Plagas extension that utilised chemical compounds for mind control. However, due to the high expulsion rate, the chemical had to be constantly injected, explaining the injector attached to her body.
This requires her, again, rescue at the hands of Chris and Sheva. Once the injector is removed, the other two move on after Wesker, and Jill promptly collapses into unconsciousness. She is found by BSAA Delta Team Captain Josh Stone, who escorts her to a helicopter and initiates a rendezvous with Chris and Sheva on the volcano.  I will stand up for Jill on this one- I do not at all believe that if Jill was on the helicopter, that Sheva should have been the one to wield the rocket launcher. That honour should have belonged to the two original STARS Alpha Team members alone. It’s simply poetic, and I am sorry for Sheva, but it would have been much more perfect. 
Currently, we’ve not seen anything from Jill since Five. The only mention to her current condition is that she is at the BSAA undergoing testing and rehabilitation for her time spent with Wesker. In her words: “...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”. We leave Jill’s chronology with her being bored. Fitting. In short, I believe that Jill has quite a bit of potential in her competency, and I am actually quite interested to see what her reaction would be to the BSAA using bioweapons. We’ve not heard from her in twelve years, so one can only assume that she is still alive somewhere, being bored. If they are going to take her character in the same direction they appear to be going in the Three: Remake, I would not at all be adverse to seeing her again in a future standalone installment.  That being said, I have quite the backlog of characters to talk about! Please give me the benefit of the doubt when waiting on these. I’ve got work to do, tea to drink, games to play, and characters to analyse.

Resident Evil Code Veronica Pc
Tumblr media
In signature Resident Evil style, Code: Veronica X HD offers a mixture of slow-paced third-person shooting, combined with various puzzles and inventory management. During the game, you get to play as both Claire and Chris Redfield, although both characters function mostly the same.
SHN Rating for Resident Evil: Code Veronica X ★★★★★Resident Evil The Official Timeline Part #9! Ased On ResidentEvil.net 'Resident Evil Recollections' The. Resident Evil: Code: Veronica is the fourth mainline Resident Evil game, leading directly after the events of Resident Evil 2 as protagonist Claire Redfield continues her search for her brother, Chris Redfield. She is inadvertently captured by Umbrella, however, although a conveniently timed attack unto the base she is held allows her a chance.
Tumblr media
Resident Evil: Code Veronica had quite the storied release. It was originally set to be the mainline entry, Resident Evil 3. But it was being developed for Sega’s iconic Dreamcast, which led to Sony balking, as it preferred to have all the mainline titles at release. As such, the game’s number was removed and the title was granted to the game we now know as Resident Evil 3. Capcom has been focused on remaking the early entries in the series, with RE 2 and RE 3 already having theirs. And Resident Evil 4 is supposedly up next.But one game got skipped. This is why Resident Evil: Code Veronica is getting a fan remake in Unity instead.
The linked page above is the only official info I can find on the game, but there isn’t anything on who exactly is making it. What we do know is that the Resident Evil: Code Veronica fan remake is going to follow the gameplay example set by the RE 2 remake, so it’ll be third-person and have updated gameplay. But the team appears to be going all out. They state that the game will be faithful, but it will be expanded, so it’s at least a partial reimagining. More interestingly, the game will also have a fixed camera mode for anyone who’s more of a purist. Pretty exciting stuff.
Please have a new voice for Steve
The Resident Evil: Code Veronica fan remake appears to directly recreate the original game’s areas for the most part. I’m not sure if all-new area geometry was created or if it’s mainly textures, however. Objects in the menu have been given completely new models, though, so assets are clearly being created. Finally, the page promises that the Tyrant T-078 will be stalking the player, so it looks like it’ll be a lot like how Mr. X was in the remake of RE 2. Since this is a fan remake, we absolutely shouldn’t be expecting to see it any time soon. But I’m glad someone is giving us a remake.
03-10-2019, 12:39 PM (This post was last modified: 06-02-2020, 04:58 AM by Zombie.Edit Reason: v1.5)
IMPORTANT UPDATE (02/21/20) I recently released a new Dolphin utility called Phazon UI. Dynamic user interfaces for Resident Evil: Code Veronica X can now be generated with Phazon! If you'd like to create custom user interfaces, please check out the Phazon UI Dolphin post or the Phazon UI Discord for more information. I decided to dump the textures on my last Code Veronica playthrough and see how they looked with 4x topaz upscale... the results are pretty decent. Not anywhere near as good as the prerendered textures from other RE games, but a significant improvement over the base textures on average. I've manually sorted through all the upscaled textures and tossed the (very) small number that didn't benefit from upscaling. Played through battle game and loaded up a bunch of old saves and haven't noticed any major issues... but there's probably going to be a few minor things that fell through the cracks or need fixes. Textures have had unused alpha channels removed and been optimized with optiPNG. 3/29/2019 Edit I took some time to sort through FanBoy's REC:VX Pack and update some text in this HD pack. They did a great job with the text, and it really improves the game. I made a few minor edits (fixed some text in the controller menu that clipped in 4:3), combined upscaled faces/eyes in the menu screen with their improved menu text, and created a new default gamecube controller texture. Xbox and Playstation controller textures are still included for anyone who'd rather swap them in. I've tested the combined packs briefly over the last few days and I didn't notice any issues. If you notice any problems, please post them below.

Resident Evil 2 Remake Review
NON SPOILER
I've bought Resi 4 on Steam, after the first level of playing it, I realized that it wasn't for me, all the enemies looked the same and it looked repetitive, zombies kept spawning and there was no way to get rid of them all, I ran out of ammo, it was a mess. I knew that the genre did that, I know that that’s the point, but I didn’t like it. Plus, I couldn't even really get the gunplay to work right. I heard that it was at its best on the Gamecube but I haven't given it another shot since then. However I saw that Resi2 got a demo, so I played it when it released and I kind of liked it, I was sold on the game and asked for it for Christmas (or maybe even my birthday, so yeah it’s been a long time but I was busy with other games) Now, the RE3 remake is already out...wow, time to play RE2 then, huh? So, you can consider this my "first" RE game.
Right out of the gate, visuals are stunning, almost needless to say and the level of accuracy is immense. I mean I didn't expect there to be a gas station at the beginning but it even had the lighters and beef jerky towards the front and stuff, they really went all out. 
Tumblr media
I can't imagine seeing this game when the original came out with PS1 graphics, it's ambitious, this is clearly the way it belongs. I thought a bug flew on screen but then I realized it was in-game, it's immersive, I don't normally read all the little tidbits and notes and stuff but it was generally interesting to read on the lore along with the VHS tapes and get some clues as to what to do next. I tried to play through it as if it were 1998 so I didn't look much up, I usually tried to do it myself with a few small exceptions. I felt accomplished by the end of each session like "Wow, I did that. I'm smart." It's rewarding. Now I played through each campaign so both Leon and Claire (starting with Leon) Claire on the other hand I was more lenient with, I looked up a decent amount because I was already in the station doing the same puzzles as Leon. It makes me wonder how they got the same items story-wise though, I mean we see Leon leaving her notes but you can't blow up the same wall twice in reality, that's nitpicking the game a little bit though. I will say that I felt like it was a wild goose chase when I did look it up because every thing I looked up was giving me different information "The portable safe is in this room." "No it's in this room." "This is the combination for the unicorn statue" "No it isn't, this is." Because it varies when you're playing on standard vs hardcore and whether it's your first or second run. So, I got my punishments for looking it up I guess.
Tumblr media
But with that said, I know some of these types of older games have a tendency to make it really confusing and difficult without a guide so I was kind of worried about not knowing what to do or where to go. While I will say I had had to look a few things up, it became cut and dry once I figured out the pattern, most of the things I looked up were things I was going to do anyway but wanted to make sure before I somehow unleashed a hoard of zombies that I certainly didn't want. Same goes for story too, I knew close to nothing about it. But you basically just have to make it to the next area, think of it as that Chowder episode where he loses his hat and Chestnut has it so he has to go around doing odd jobs one by one in order to progress. The overall goal is to get out of the police station and kind of just find a way to survive but you have to focus on the smaller goals / getting to the next room. I looked pretty thoroughly through everything and managed to find everything I needed without even trying or knowing what it was for half the time like "Well this should come in handy later." *puts it in storage chest*  Speaking of, I like how each chest is like an Ender Chest and is interchangeable as if it was the same one chest in every location, that makes things much easier rather than some hardcore game of "where did I put my keys?" that I'm not into. But you learn to find your destination a lot easier than I thought. That was always something I hated about Resident Evil games while watching them, that there was a lot of backtracking but actually playing the game hits differently, it's not what I expected, it's actually kind of fun, like I mentioned saying "I know where that is!"
Tumblr media
Maybe it's just the setting of a police station that did that for me or maybe seeing speedrunners doing it with the old games and paying no mind made me scared or maybe the fixed camera angle of the old games (so that each side of the room had the clip as if it were just a picture) along with the idea that the originals are dated rather than PS4 but regardless, it's just surprisingly not annoying like I thought.
Games can easily stress me out but I actually found myself cruising and feeling good about it despite all these zombies...then I met Mr. X. He chases you EVERYWHERE throughout the game. Thing of nightmares. I will probably hear footsteps in my sleep now. I knew he was coming but I didn't know his presence wasn't always scripted, it's just a game of cat and mouse...and he's the cat! It gets me paranoid because I'll stop and hear footsteps then stand still for a good 5 minutes and he's still tromping around. I walk down a hall. BOOM! Crashes through the wall, making ME screech. There's no way to get rid of him and it kind of ruins the atmosphere to be honest, I know it's trying to be scary but it's more annoying than scary because every time I move I'm like "Ok stop" and I'll stand around for a minute, checking the map, to check the fastest route to where I need to go, just to make sure and then continue... only to turn the next corner and then repeat. I couldn't even move comfortably anymore, it's space invading. The tension is high because he can come into the main hall which I liked to use to save but alas, I had to memorize where all the other save points were or check the map again.
Tumblr media
So, you get to play as Claire, which I like, but with Leon's story it's kind of just like "Well I'm going to do my own thing and if she survives, she survives." I understand each step is essential to progressing and getting closer but for all he knows, she's just out in the rain, waiting for him to unlock the door. And I also know that she said that she can handle herself (before Leon had to point out the zombie behind her! lmao) and he has survival on the forefront of his mind too but still. They flirt every time they're on screen together but the thing is that I love it, I ship it, it's cheesy but I don't care, that’s half of what I’m even here for.
Tumblr media
As for the rest of the story, you're telling me that they made not just one movie but a SERIES of movies and it wasn't this?! This is great, this is a master-craft in its work. I'm not a big fan of zombie movies, I'm sure there's one out there that I like but I can't think of any off the top of my head but this? This is it! (Jennifer Lawrence would make a good Claire tbh) Let alone the horror genre in general, I'm not even frightened all that easily, I just think a lot of the plots and decisions are stupid in horror, this goes against all that. Speaking of spooky, I know making the screen brightness balanced is normal for games but I don't think it's mattered more than here, brighten that baby up because sometimes it's pitch black, immersive but still hard to see.
Boss fights are something I didn't think a whole lot about until I actually got to it. Doing the first boss fight with G was really memorable for me because I could cower away all I wanted in that gridded pit of a machine room and just launch grenades at him but it wasn't until the bosses in the sewer that I really started to like it. First was that Crash Bandicoot type running sequence, then we had G-2. I had actually ran out of ammo at that point, I used it all on the sewage monsters (I didn't get the flamethrower, I didn't know how, as I said, I did this more or less blind) so I just kept running, and clicked X every time the option came up, hoping to pick up something good. All I got was a combat knife and a flash grenade, then I started messing with the buttons on the control panel, in hopes of cheesing it and just going to the next section but then I realized what I was actually doing. I was using those buttons to move a crate and using that crate to slam G into a pit. I love the classic boss style, I haven't played a boss like that in a long time. One where it doesn't matter how much ammo you have, but just using the environment to your advantage without it explicitly telling you (except the death screen giving you hints). That was until the later boss fights, you basically just keep unloading your belt until they die, kinda lame but whatever.
Tumblr media
This actually made me rethink the genre and also about giving one of the other games a shot (PLEASE REMAKE CODE VERONICA, I BEG!) it might be right time, right place (PS4 with modern graphics and modern gunplay) that made me actually interested. The “true ending” is unlocked by playing through one of the two’s campaign and then playing through the other, which is basically the same game but with different cutscenes and context (some new areas too) so it’s definitely worth it, you could even just speedrun the second run if you’d like, you even unlock a secret boss and for those who have already seen the true ending, know that I liked it based off of what I said earlier, no spoilers.

you have any video game recs?
Helloo dear 🧡 and thanks for the ask! I do have some recs, yes :) I’ll try to maybe keep the list balanced? Let’s see... (also, I don’t know your platform and I’m no PC gamer, so I’m sorry...) these are probably my all-time favs and some games I keep going back to haha
(please find them under the cut, I ... rec’d too much)
The Legend of Zelda (in no particular order)1) Ocarina of Time - amazing game, 100/10. completed it like 10 times.2) Majora’s Mask - might be a little harder than OoT but still amazing. good shit3) Breath of the Wild - Jesus, take the wheel. I collected all 900 Korok seeds. I can’t wait for Breath of the Wild 2! If you own a Switch, go play it, you won’t regret it
Resident Evil (listing the games as they came out)1) Resident Evil 1 - Perfect. Amazing. Played it like 100 times. But seriously, I played it on PS1, GameCube, PS3, and PS4. I will support this game until the day I die.2) Resident Evil 2 (Original) - Go play it. It’s old and the controls will fuck you up but omg, if you can, get it for maybe PS3 and play it. SO. GOOD.3) Resident Evil 2 (Remake) - I nearly cried when I saw the first trailer. And then I really cried when I got to play. I have to admit, though, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t keep the original campaigns in. Leon and Claire didn’t seem to affect each other all that much... :(4) Resident Evil 3 (Original) - Fucking thing kicked my ass when I was younger but I beat it later >:) the controls were better here and Jill’s dodging was alright. Get it for PS3, you won’t regret it.5) Resident Evil 3 (Remake) - Currently playing and yes, I cried because it’s so beautiful and I... I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS FOR THAT SERIES6) Resident Evil 4 - Listen, I bought the game for GameCube, Wii, PS2, PS3, PS4 and fucking Switch. The day I stop playing RE4 is the day I die.7) Resident Evil 7 - Not gonna lie, I was SO disappointed when I saw the first trailer but it’s good and it’s creepy. Not a classical Resident Evil, I guess, and also... fuck that Redfield-guy. That’s not my Chris.
Honorable mentions: Resident Evil Code: Veronica & Resident Evil 6 (fight me, I fucking loved Piers Nivans)
You know, I could’ve saved myself some time and just recommend almost every Resident Evil game there is, but... I’m not very smart.
Other games I’d recommend:
The Evil Within 1 + 2 (I liked them, they were fun)Outlast 1 + 2 & Whistleblower (much love - only crapped my pants 10 times)Dead by Daylight (maybe... don’t play alone at the beginning. it’s fun but there’re a lot of assholes out there)Banjo Kazooie & Banjo Tooie (both are N64 games but you’ll never know... maybe one day we’ll get some ports for the Switch? Loved them)Tomb Raider 2013 (I think I played all games that came out for PS and I recently replayed this one, so there; it was fun, not particularly challenging, though)
I’m an idiot.
SILENT HILL, holy shit. Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2. Every time I hear sirens, I freeze. Haha
So yeah, these are the games I can think of right now but... look, I have no life and I probably forgot like 30 games :’) bear with me.
