Birkin did this in the remake if I'm not mistaken. During the first fight with him, you can hear him screaming for help amidst his roars or you can hear him calling for Sherry.

Personally I always found it way scarier than the mindless creatures of the series, because it shows they have a modicum of self-awareness but are unable to act on it, which is not only tragic, but utterly terrifying as well. Plus, as you said, it drives home the whole idea of unethical experiments and how that's the central theme of the series (not so much with Birkin though since the events of 2 are mostly his fault).

I always assumed it was a fully in control G monster calling out to Sherry as an attempt to bait her for infecting purposes rather then a vestige of Birkin calling out to her to save her. I don't think I'm willing to give Birkin that much credit considering his decision to infect himself in the first place.

I always loved how in the ps1 models up until the 3rd transformation, you can see Birkin's head be consumed by his body, I always liked to think that up untill that point he still had some kind humanity in him

Meet the Resident Evil superfan who's spent a decade putting together…

The timeline in full, in a series of pdfs:

I never really had a major foothold into the Resident Evil series, besides playing a demo of Revelations 1. Resident Evil is a series I find to be great to watch and listen to (gameplay and lore-wise, respectively). Whether it's a full playthrough by players, such as CarcinogenSDA or a compilation of videos on the complete timeline, it's always a treat.
 
RE would be nothing without its waifubait. Change my mind.

Edit: RE4 Ada is only good Ada, and anyone pretending to be Jill not named Julia Voth belongs in the trash.

They should've did Nemesis like they did Mr. X for RE3make. I'm not sure why all his encounters were so scripted. Some of them felt like they belonged in an Uncharted game.

When the game was first announced I remember people talking about how he'd be able to follow you into save rooms, so I was expecting him to appear anywhere and everywhere throughout the game. Odd how I can simultaneously enjoy a game yet be disappointed by it, but that's the RE3R remake experience in a nutshell.

On a whim, I bought the novelisation of the first game. Was expecting complete trash but it was actually pretty decent, and follows the plot of the game close enough that you could recognise where they were in the game map at any given time. Might try some of the others in the series now.
 
1 was innovative
2 escalated the technology, story and stakes in every way
I didn't want a 3
4 didn't deserve to be on Gamecube, but was a great nod to the house setting of 1
I knew nothing that came after would ever be worth a shit

7's a pretty good return to form for the series. I replayed it recently and it's still a great horror game. The first person perspective adds so much to the game's atmosphere, and the antagonists are some of the best the franchise has to offer. It's even got some of the creepiest moments in the whole series in my opinion. There's a reason it basically revitalized the series and signaled a shift back towards pure horror.

The first time I played 7 I wasn't enjoying it at all, got to the chainsaw fight with no health left and gave up in annoyance. Went back 6 months later and started afresh on a lower difficulty, then it all started to click. It does feel like the type of game that's better on a second playthrough, not least because you can manage items better. I was even fine with the ship segment that everyone else seems to hate. Didn't like End of Zoe though, hand to hand combat never seems to work in first person.

RE3 Remake didn't even deserve to sell that many.

Also remember that this counting singular versions. When doing all versions RE5 is the best selling game.

I'm honestly surprised RE5 is the best selling RE game across all formats.

You'd think RE4 would have that title, given how massively popular it was and still is and how it was ported to multiple systems across three console generations. Seriously, Resident Evil 4 is for Capcom what Skyrim is for Bethesda and GTA V is for Rockstar.

(I mean, Capcom invented that trend of excessive ports and expansions with Street Fighter II but still)

It's probably because RE5 rode off the massive success of RE4 and people bought it hoping it would be a bigger and better version of what they got with RE4.

Though this does prove that good sales doesn't mean quality, since RE5 is universally considered to be weaker than 4, and it seems Capcom's aware of this seeing as how they tend to give more attention to 4.

True, and RE4 is generally agreed to be the one game from the "Action Era" of the franchise that's actually any good and beloved by the fans.

RE5 is a mixed bag at best, RE6 is outright hated by damn near everyone, Umbrella Corps and Operation Raccoon City are somehow even worse than RE6, and from what I can tell the first Revelations game is seen as "decent but not as good as RE4 or the Classic RE games" according to most fans.

I think the main reason why RE4's getting remade is because they want to bring it more in line with the horror themes of the Classic RE games (and their remakes) as well as RE7 and RE8. The original RE4 still holds up very well in terms of gameplay, but it was more of an action-horror game and had some "Whedon-esque" moments as well.

Avalanche reviews gave pretty fair reviews to even the worst games in the series...like I was expecting him to tear orc and oc a new one but he made good points about what did and didn't work. Honestly I think those games are the only ones I wouldn't wanna ever go back to or pick up at all (bought operation raccoon for like 8 dollars once never touched umbrella corps) even 6 has its Merit if you're willing to let go of nostalgia for 4 or the ps trilogy.

But yeah barring revelations cliche title aside, the series didn't really get back on the right track until 7 and the re engine opened the gates for the remakes of 2 and 3 and now 8 and REmake 4 out off all the Capcom series that hit rough patches through the years I'd say Re suffered the least before improving

Not really, the girls are nice but I wouldn't say the series would be "nothing" without them.

Mr X was fascinating because for maybe the first time ever a Clock Tower esque unstoppable foe was a constant in the environment and didn't fade in and out of existence, it was so creepy hearing him stomping around.

It's a real missed opportunity they didn't do that with Nemesis.

Yeah, it's weird because the RE3 remake is still a very good game, I enjoyed my time with it a lot, but it's not as good as it could have been.

My main gripe is how they changed the hospital completely, it should have been more directly based on the original environment like the police station in the 2 remake was, instead it's completely different and a more generic version, that was a pretty meh stretch of the game, I enjoyed everything else in the game a lot more.

7 is good but also not as good as it could have been, there should have been more time spent in the Baker house proper and not the final boat area, which kind of stinks, I replayed it recently and the entire boat section was very hard to get through that second time.

The main Baker house is weirdly small, they don't even have a guest bedroom and only 1 bathroom in a pretty remote part of the house (imagine if you were on the other side of the house and had to go really badly)

Netflix live action series announced - and it sounds pretty dreadful

Few more details have been unfurled

When the Wesker kids move to New Raccoon City, the secrets they uncover might just be the end of everything. Resident Evil, a new live action series based on Capcom’s legendary survival horror franchise, is coming to Netflix.

“In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.

“Cut to the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her.”

TLDR:

Nothing expressly woke yet but it already sounds like complete shit. I'm impressed!

But since it's a netflix original, how are they inevitably going to wokify it? Maybe one of the kids (or Albert Wesker himself) is trans? Constant references to how sexist the source material is and how much better these new characters are for not wearing dresses and skirts? Unsubtle jumpcuts from pre-apocalypse trump rallies to post-apocalypse zombie hordes clumsily comparing the two? Maybe they imply the rallies directly spread the virus and caused it to begin with. Or perhaps the real t-virus was white supremacy all along? Season finale where Chris Redfield personally apologizes for the fuck my sister memes? The possibilities are limitless.
