Resident Evil Degeneration trailer

New trailer for the upcoming straight-to-DVD CG “Non-Milla Jovovich Alice Bullshit“ movie, Resident Evil Degeneration. You can find it here or watch it on Youtube below

It’s 7 years after the incident at the Raccoon City (that’s a year after RE4 and three years before the upcoming RE5).

…at an airport somewhere in the United States, on an ordinary autumn afternoon, a zombie is unleashed. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself… Claire Redfield, now a member of an NGO supporting victims of bioterrorism and medical disasters, happens to be in the airport while Leon S. Kennedy comes to the site on a mission to take care of the incident.

It’s a RE2 reunion Yay! You have Leon (sadly, the super cheesy one liner action hero version of him from RE4), Claire (looking good) and a G-Virus monster?! (notice the big eye on the monster at the end of the trailer).

Here’s the funny thing; it’s such a coincidence that around the time of RE2, my friend and I made our own fictional Resident Evil 3 story starring Leon, Claire, Sherry, Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca and Hunk (basically everyone from the the first two games Hehe) and set it in an airport. The story we came up with was that the T-Virus & the G-Virus spread across the US and their only hope for escape is to go to the airport (now turned into a military controlled evacuation center). However, things went to shit quickly and Chris dies (sacrificing himself to save Claire). In the end, the survivors escaped to Europe by plane, not before fighting a T+G virus Tyrant of course LOL. Oh well, at least when RE3 got released we got the next best thing, Jill’s blue outfit

Resident Evil 5

New trailer for Resident Evil 5

The story is set in 2008 (that’s ten years after events in Racoon City, five years after the downfall of Umbrella and four years after Leon’s adventure in RE4…I think I got the timeline right). Chris Redfield, the protagonist of the original game and last seen battling zombies in Siberia, is now working for a new Biohazard containment group and is on a mission in Africa to investigate a viral outbreak.

Few random thoughts on the plot:

-  Chris Redfield is the hero so expect his archenemy Albert Wesker to show up.

- We saw a glimpse of a blond female characterin the earlier trailer and on the magazine scans. A lot of people speculate that it is Sherry Birkin (the daughter of William, the mad scientist who was partly responsible for the outbreak in Racoon City..long story). I also think its Sherry Birkin and also believed that it would be stupid on the part of the game creator if it doesn’t turned to be her. Unlike characters like Rebecca or Carlos, Sherry’s story needs some closure. We last heard about her being taken custody by a man from the military (under a deal made by Leon - kinda sucks that we didn’t get to know more about this deal in RE4). I hope she isn’t a new character.

- Speaking of a new character, Chris will team up with a new female character rumored to be named Sheva. I hope she’s playable in the game.

- The game creator said that this game will delve into the origin of the virus. This makes sense considering how the ’Mother Virus’ (all the viruses featured in the series  originated from this one) was discovered in Africa. According to the game’s mythology, the virus was discovered by three men: Ashford, Dr. Marcus and Ozwell Spencer. Only Spencer is still alive and haven’t been seen in any of the RE games (only mentioned). So I hope we’ll finally be able to see him in this one.

- The enemies? They certainly don’t look like those familiar slow walking zombies. Infected with mind controlling parasites like in RE4? I think it will be a combination of a virus (due to the plot point mentioned above) and a parasite (they behave like the enemies in RE4).

Resident Evil 5 to be released around 2009 for PS3 and Xbox360 (no Wii…yet)

Master of Unlocking…Part 2

Honestly, I don’t like the Resident Evil movies. You can change stuff from the game but these movies are radically different from the games. Sure there’s Jill and there’s Claire but they became secondary characters. I accepted Alice initially until they decided to give her superpowers WTF!!

But I know that someone will eventually reboot the franchise and make a new Resident Evil trilogy that will be much closer to the games. I know this will happen because: 1) Hollywood have a tendency to reboot franchise now (eg Batman Begins, Casino Royale, JJ Abrams Star Trek) 2) Resident Evil is a big franchise. What’s even better than making lots of money with the previous resident evil movies? Make more movies but this time make it more faithful to the games so they can grab money from the fans.

So then I thought hey, let me try to make my own cast list for a Resident Evil movie that I want to see. So here we go:

(Click here for Part 1)

Leon Kennedy – Jared Padalecki

 

Claire Redfield – Ellen Page

  

Carlos Oliveira – Rodrigo Santoro

  

Ada Wong – Maggie Q

 

William Birkin – Kevin Bacon

 

Oh well, at least we can still look forward to a CG movie that’s coming out called Resident Evil: Degeneration. Looks like both Leon and Claire are back (yeah! RE2 reunion!) and it’s set in the airport. I wouldn’t be surprise to see Samuel L Jackson in this one, “Get these muthaf***ing zombies off this muthaf***ing plane!!!!”LOL

The Master of Unlocking…Part 1

It was around 1998, my cousins and brothers all spend a night at my grandma’s house because my aunt was getting married the next day. One of my cousins decided to bring his Playstation. We all gathered around to watch him play while closing all the lights. There’s a message on the screen…”This game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore”…..What? What kinda game is this? Then the title appears accompanied by a deep scary voice.

**Evil voice**RESIDENT EeVvillll TWOOO****Evil voice**

I haven’t seen Resident Evil Extinction yet although my friend sort of spoiled the ending for me.
