Well, the RE5 ARG viral marketing just kicked off and its pretty sweet. These things are always interesting.
Here is the link :
http://residentevil.com/5/kijuju/index.php?len&fbid=Cgmj7dQkxqz
It has all kinds of cryptic writing on the wall here is some stuff I have found :
- Las Plagas
- uroboros
- pg67a/w
- they are in Kijuju
- Seashell is evil
- Kijuju
- Wesker is a liar!
- Progenitor Virus
- Sheva knew
- The Kennedy Report
- Raccoon City wasn't the end
- Majini
- Flashbacks can't stop them
- Las Plagas
- pg67a/w
- Where is Ozwell
There is also a live action video that takes place after the events of RE5 and Chris seems to have some type of post traumatic stress breakdown. The link to the video is here(it is a .FLV, works great in VLC)

One thing that really stands out is : "Seashell is Evil"...She is Alive. Which I think is saying that Jill is not really dead, like her gravestone in that trailer would have us to believe.

Also, in that live action video Sheva kinda looks like Rosario Dawson. o_O

I've never understood why anyone has ever given a shit about the story in the Resident Evil games. I think that was one of the biggest shocks to me when I first got the internet and started reading videogame forums, was that there were people out there who took the plot seriously. It's some silly ass shit that seems to me like it was written by an nine year old, but there are throngs of morons who lap it up, and eagerly await shitty CG wankfests like Degeneration.
And get excited about ARG's for it too.

It's a video game, escapist fantasy. It doesn't pose as great literature, it's just an excuse to kill zombies.
You really love pissing on people's parade, don't you? You take this shit way too seriously.

Yeah, I kinda agree on this one. There's nothing wrong with getting immersed in a story - even if it isn't a very good one. Harry-fucking-Potter, for example.

Which is exactly my point :rolleyes:.

You can appreciate a game a lot more if you appreciate the story.
If you open up a little bit, maybe you'll find some more enjoyment from games.

I get plenty of enjoyment from games.
I don't know what you expect me to do. Maybe drink myself into a stupor so my mental faculties are on par with those of a ten year old, that way I can appreciate the wonderful script in a Resident Evil game?

I just like the story, it is really interesting and cool to learn about all the things in the Resident Evil universe.
It is just an escape into fantasy for me. Although, thanks for shitting on me.

LOL @ video games..
This shit was cool when I was thirteen and all, but maybe you faggots should find an interest relative to your age.
That game is going to suck balls. Just look at it. John Woo's Resident Evil now w/ Worm Monsters. Wonderful! Resident Evil was best when it was believably impossible, when it was realistic. It was fun to run around a beautiful, fascinating and seemingly limitless mansion with nothing more than a few magazines for your Beretta and a bowie knife. It was awesome to run around Raccoon City avoiding what used to be ordinary citizens who are trying to eat your flesh. It was cool to solve puzzles with a zippo lighter by flushing a flaming Quran down the toilet in the library of the RE1 mansion.
Now, it is nothing more than a bunch of niggers running off of fifty foot cliffs with three hundred foot long chain whips on motorcycles and backflipping tyrants, with a couple of new camera angles and some John Woo slow-motion effects.
Resident Evil, like MGS and Silent Hill are prime examples of why video games should never have more than two or three sequels, tops. Hideo Kojima could not think up anything else for MGS4 so he just made up a bunch of impossible faggot ass shit like flying bitches, monkeys, even more impossible weapons carrying, fighting on impossibly large ships, running through a god damned microwave, etc.
Instead of making up shit and ruining sagas for everyone, maybe these faggots should just INVENT NEW FUCKING SERIES!!! OMG!!!
This shit is so fucking gay, every new Resident Evil game is cornier and cheaper than the last. I'd rather play Resident Evil 1, not the gay ass "REmake" than ever even imagine this RE5 garbage exists. Hell I'd rather play Clock Tower II, the greatest survival horror game in the history of man, than ever even think about PS3 or XCOX.

I would start a club with you, but within 5 minutes I'd realize you were a fucking jackass and I'm sure you'd come to the same conclusion about me in a similar time frame.

None of the Resident Evil games are realistic.
Less ammo does not = more realistic
You still had fantastic impossible dumb shit in the first game as much as you do in the 5th. The one thing you're missing is the vast improvement in gameplay. RE1 is total shit compared to RE4. RE5 is the same thing as RE4, though, same animations and everything. It might be fun, but I lost interest when I found out they basically just rehashed the 4th one.

2008-12-13, 17:27
The story of RE1 was worse I'm sorry. Why do people think it's cool to like old games. MGS was awesome at the time but MGS3 is better. RE1 was good but 4 was better. I would rather play RE4 than RE1.
RE1 had "Jill .. the master of unlocking" for fucks sake.
Infidel Castro
2008-12-13, 17:42
I'd actually say the story of MGS1 is the best in the whole series. The gameplay did get better, but it was surrounded by stupid shit.
That's why Twin Snakes is my favorite MGS game.

Truth.
In fact, I'd go one step further:
MGS > All other MGS's
RE4 > All other RE's
MGS1>MGS3
RE4>RE1.
I'm a diehard resident evil fan.
Haha, I'd say the complete opposite myself.
Though saying that, it's been a while since I played MGS1, and fuck, it was groundbreaking at the time.... But shit, MGS3 really did things to me.

MGS is without question better than MGS 3. The story and characters were a lot better, Pyscho Mantis alone makes MGS better.

Have you played MGS3 all the way through yet? I'm tied when it comes to MGS and MGS3; they're both bloody brilliant for different reasons.
Still, I really hate MGS2 for marring my enjoyment of the series. I reckon MGS3 should have came out before MGS2 (wouldn't take too much to tie up the story since MGS3 is a prequel).
Still, though, don't be put off by MGS2 when it comes to MGS3. The latter is in a completely different league in my opinion.

Come on now, it ain't that bad. Keep in mind that it revolves around zombies. How can a zombie related story not be a cliché piece of shit? When you take this in consideration, the RE story is better than pretty much any zombie film out there.
They went and fucked it up with those god damn movies though.

aquaria had some cool shit like this, a secret language that you could decode and there were things written on the walls. pretty fun to decode and read that stuff. i think that's similar to what the op explained.

Hmm..That info that can be pulled from the demo files might be false.
I remember when they hacked the RE4 demo disk, it had a bunch of fake info. :(
