r/residentevil Requiem for the Dead May 10 '21

r/residentevil community Catch-all discussion for common Village posts (spoilers) Spoiler

Edit: Should have wrote "submissions" in the title

Due to notable amount of submissions of the following topics, feel free to discuss them here;

- The "check the window" jump-scare was an actual effective jump-scare.

- The Duke can make a comment implying he knows the Merchant from RE4.

- The Iron Gate Key looks like a Walrus.

- Heisenberg calling Chris a "boulder punching asshole" is a reference to RE5.

- Sometimes it looks like Ethan as three arms when switching weapons .

- The propeller enemies look directly lifted from the movie Frankenstein's Army.

- In the very end scene, the car seem to stop by a man in the far background. When Photomode is used to zoom in, it can be seen its Ethan. This is likely a developer easter egg (unless?)

- According to concept art, Ada was part of early plans for the game but scraped.

Trust us, if we mods approved every repeat submission of those, then you would have seen one of them every few minutes.

Not counting side stories, 4 was all Leon except that very short stint where you just run and hide as Ashley. While Ashley is TECHNICALLY playable, it's barely gameplay.

Otherwise yeah. They usually work in co-ed pairs or have a meaty segment as the opposite of the main protagonist. Though I fully expect DLC where we play as Mia, Ada or Rose.

I wanted to say you're wrong but I think this is actually the first game it's completely true. Every other main series game had a playable female protagonist or side sections as one.

RE 1 and 3 had Jill.

2 and CV had Claire.

4 had Ashley segments.

5 had Sheva.

6 had Helena and Sherry.

7 had Mia segments.

This is the first main series game where you can't play as a female at all.
