I just finished watching R.E. Degeneration. And my God... I think I died a little, no, a LOT inside.
Honestly the beginning was alright. A lot of you prolly saw the first 9 minutes at least. It had a very Resident Evil feel to it, the zombies, the action, the music, just kinda in movie form, so some things were different. I don't wanna spoil it for anyone though so I'll just be kinda vague and let you all watch and decide for yourselves.
To sum it up, it was kind of like... and RE2 remake almost. But obviously taking place in 'current' times and different places and of course a different plot entirely. A lot of familiar scenes and lines though. The plot was surprisingly good, and brought back a lot of old memories that had seemed to be forgotten by Capcom themselves.
Well... shouldn't count your chickens before their hatched.
Maybe this is just me personally. But I know at least some out there care for RE and its characters in a similar way as I do. I love the earlier games... I love the characters personalities; they way they act and handle things and treat/react with other people in the games. So, I'm sure a lot of you know by now that Leon is my favorite RE character, particularly from RE2. You may also know that when RE4 came out I was highly disappointed in his attitude and personality change into a cliche` macho machine. "Too cool" essentially.
Ha... I thought I saw Capcom dish out the worst of it, but I had no idea...
Sadly, I kinda feel alone in this though, especially considering it's Leon. All the RE4fags think THAT is Leon's 'original' personality, that he's some cliche`, wise cracking, super-hero agent that is just like any random, pointless character produced from a brainless action flick. And little do they know (or WANT to know) that RE4 and all it's cliche`s are just part of a gluttonous cash cow.
Lawl, lets give teh fans sum fanservice with purdyboy leon. lets make him like da action starz in hollywood lawl! who needs storyline??
Fans... right. Fans meaning noobs who don't give a care for the older games. Just feeding the crowd the 'cool' stuff of today rather then sticking true to what RE once was. Yeah, thanks for the fan service Crapcom. You've ruined your own once-amazing story and characters more then you know.
-__-
Let's just say now I'm pretty positive they're gonna kill off Jill. Either that or get her out of the picture one way or another. Crapcom must not of liked the original girls personalities, designs or something. Might as well kill em all off and bring in some fresh meat. Either that or they're trying to appeal to an even more noob audience, with certain movie cliche`s that draw people in with false emotion.
If you want a good disappointment of character actions and personality, go watch Degeneration.
That hurts to hear so much. It was the one thing I was really jazzed to see. What happened to the days where Leon was just innocent and sort of adorable? <img alt="sad" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/sad.gif"> <br> <br>I'll still see it because it's sort of required, you know? However, I feel that I will be prepared for the disappointment. Where/how did you happen to see it? I was expecting it the 27th.
I thought since this film had nothing to do with the others it'd be ok <a href="mailto: @_@ ">@_@ </a>I guess I'll take a look anyway, its not going to mess up Rebecca Chambers personality because after the original RE she disapeared of the face of the earth <img alt="sad" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/sad.gif"> and as for RE5 well i heard their going to throw a few BOW's (most likely a Tyrant of some variety) in with the Plaga like creatures but no Zombies another Ganado fest is arriving get ready!
Hmm leons character has changed a lot. the first time playing resident evil 4 i liked the opening scene where he say sh%t <br>honestly that realistic to me. onother thing is people want more action in games and graphics. ps/dc resident evils scared me more then 4 does.(i even have infinit ammo on the older games and im still freaked out) with all these other zombie games coming out from other companies i think its time to bring back zombies or finish that other re4 they were making (the 3rd persion view wich changes to over the shoulder
I must say that I'm not surprised that Degeneration went that way. <br>After I saw the first pics of steroid Chris from RE 5 I decided that if they continue this way (which they will do) that I'd rather see new characters for anything new regarding RE. Sure, one could say that it would be kinda sad to never see something new of the well known characters, but at least it would prevent Capcom from destroying them like they did with Leon (and will do with Chris)
I like how they changed. Leon was naive because he was young, he's been evolutioning. And Chris just went to gym, it doesn't mean his personalitie will change. <br> <br>I'm a BIG fan of the ''other'' games, and I was a bit dissapointed with RE4 plot, but, everything evolutions and... bleh, a point irrelevant I will discuss somewhen later. <br> <br>I think it won't dissapoint moi. However if you are one of thoose people who can't stand my position I have a DA with this same nickname, I love arguing pacifically
<span style="color:white;"><img alt="blink" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/blink.gif"&g t;</span> well im not good for talk in english but i only can say... leon is a perv , and claire have a retard face ... she look so dumbas in some parts she have weird expression i mind claire can shut up or close her mouth ... and what to say about leon.... he have a expression of angry , emo and sarcastic face... <br>and WTF with the fat guy?? why leon dont shoot him?! .... this is not my leon... >>:; , well this movie dont have action... so my opinion is this movie RATING IS ! <br>4.5/10 . <br>Leon = angry emo <br>Claire = retard and stupid cliche girl <br>Storyline= classic zombie movies <br>CAPCOM please make a good movie please!...
To Be Honest And Not Just Noob, I Actually Agree To Some Level, The Fact That They Didnt Just Change Physically They Change Personality-wise Aswell, Leon Used To Be Somewhat Confused And From that It Goes Straight To Him Being Tough, Over Everything That Happened And asically Ready For Anything, I also Hate That They Dont Like How They First Made The Personalities, Jill Was Somewhat Tough But Scared In The First One, Yes? Well In The third Shes The Same And I Like That But Thats the Reason Shes Being Killed Off In Some Way, Capcom Did Lose Their Plot Line For A bit, Such As Gaiden Said That Leon Was Dead, But They Managed To Make A Recovery And I Like The Old Personalities aka Clair= Girl Not Afraid To Ask Quetions. <br> Leon= A Somewhat Confused Man Who Really Doesnt Know What He's Doing. <br> Jill= Just Plain Herself. <br> Chris= Will Stick Up For Others Before Himself. <br> Ada= A woman That Cant Be Seen (Re2) <br>Other Than A Girl Whos Playing Spy (RE4) <br> And Everyone Else With Their Own Unique Personalities, I Must Say I Am Really dissapointed On What Capcom did to The Series And Needless To Say I Miss The Zombies, Streets, 100's Of Randomers And To Be entirly honest I Miss The Pre-rendered Background, Some People Find That Stupid But I Dunno It Just Stated That Somethings Gonna Jump Out At Any Time And That IS Or Should I Say WAS Resident Evil, I Really Really Miss It <img alt="sad" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/sad.gif">
I'd totally agree!!!! I used to love Leon personality . Now he's not anymore who he used to be.. <br>Anyway, my favorite character is Ada Wong, i guess that capcom has become crapcom like you said... <br>Jill's dead, Steve is still Dead... rebecca and barry has been forgotten... and now they are rcycling ideas... <br> <br> <br>i want ADA & LEON to stay together!!!!!!! <br> <br>either ashley and carlos hehee good idea!
i thought the whole dead jill thing was somsorta nightmare of chris? if she died it would suck ass! >O <br> <br>anyway, just downloaded degeneration, watched it, thought to myself.. wonder what the imformal internet authority on resident evil stuff has to day about this... <br> <br>and first off, they have been pissing all over leons character since re4. but i thought re4 was still good enough cuz it stuck to somewhat of the original storyline with umbrella and wesker and all. <br> <br>but degeneration... it just made stuff worse. first of all, resident evil is about survival. but that element has been killed off completely... then the whole airfield part was just stupid. why the hell did they need to go through the entire lobby while they just as easily could go back to the roof where the helicopter would be waiting for them... or better yet, let the survivors take the stairs up to the roof themselves... no fancy rescue team needed!.. then the g-virus part with the mutations was just dreadfull.. the mutations are supposed to be scary and gory, but these happened too fast and the only scary part were the graphics.. <br> <br>now i'm used to the little disappointments with resident evil, since i've started playing i have bashed my head on my keyboard multiple times. ("jill, heres a lockpick, it might be handy if you, the master of unlocking take it with you.." :| ) <br>but it looks just like they are giving up... hoping that some first-persoon shoot'emup game is gonna cut it... but it's not and they are ruining a perfect series in my opinion... the latest stuff just doesn't have the feel anymore.. <br> <br>well, my suggestion is mailing the content of this thread to capcom. maybe they don't do this on purpose but are just stupid and lost?
Hi Leggy! <br>Well,i can say the same the other 'old RE fans-im totally killed...Our RE is transforming to a stupid shooter with Super-Killer-Machines-Main-Heroes...<img alt="unsure" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/unsure.gif"& gt; <br>I also like the beginning of the movie,till they escaped from airport,it has something from old RE.... <br>But WTF?Capcom really want to forget all they made??Clean away that Angela(or how to write this name),bring back Ada and...and... <br>They started to move in wrong direction and if they will kill Jill , the one of the origins characters ,to change it for Sheeva .... I will no longer be a RE fan<img alt="sad" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/sad.gif"> ...only the firsts parts (1-2-3) and nothing more... <br>Wait for cartoon from you about all this crap...
<b>P.S.</b> <br>Oh,sorry for my English,im still learning this language...Im living in Latvia,russian, so... <img alt="roll" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/rolleyes.gif ">
I agree i loved re2 but RE4 i asmit it was a good gameplay but it had nothing to do with RE... also the plotline was kinda retarded but oh well... i only saw the 10 first minutes of degeration but Leon changed from 2 hes so kool overconfident eemo poser now! Crapcom raped him!
<span style="color:red;">I must say, and I know that you will be disappointed, but RE4 was the first RE game I ever played! I have fallen in love with the series since then. I started playing the older games when I finished RE4 and I know how you feel Leggy, RE4 doesn't even seem like a RE game at all. Leon is way I'm-too-cool now. RE4 wasn't as bad as degeneration. I thought, overall....It was a good movie but it just doesn't have that original RE-feel that fans are looking for. Throwing in a random character and making her be Leon's love interest made me tear out every strand of hair from my head. They could have atleast made it Claire or made Ada randomly appear with a grapple-gun. It just doesn't seem right. CAPCOM needs to seriously go back to their roots. Have a reunion of all their characters and ditch those stupid noobs that are ruining this series. It's the real fans that know what they are talking about. SCREW NEW RE</span>
<span style="color:darkred;">It was alright in some ways, opening was great that was about it i love RE2 when playing that you get the feeling (well i do) i get the feeling "Oh shit im screwed" in the movie its more like "Yea forget Neo im the Chosen One" The movie seem a bit like the Animematrix to me espeically were leon throws that gun to claire (i would of dropped it) Its also why i hated RE4 come on!! who on this earth can jump through a hallway of lasers without getting sliced and diced. Its set quite a few years after racoon city but not even Chuck Norris could do that shit like leon does in the game/movie. I think you said it best "I was highly disappointed in his attitude and personality change into a cliche` macho machine" Bring back Old Leon! They should of made the CGI movie more like RE2 Movie were there in racoon city, zombies everywere, fire, guns going off the ending kinda sucked espeically the new tyrant yea he may have huge claws and can jump higher than superman but hes a pussy! I best "Tofu" could kill him <img alt="big grin" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/biggrin.gif" > </span>
ok look how do you even no they will kill off jill i didn't see em say it so tell me where it's at and all but why are you paying attention to his personality plus he is my #1 character on there and i really want to see it but come on at least show some appreicatetion can't spell that but you no you arn't the one who made it so complain to them <span style="color:blue;"></span>
Leggy, I respect your opinion, and I am a true classic RE fan, but I think you're getting WAY too out of line. <br>Imagine if you were Leon. You wouldn't be the same lovable guy if you had to fight ZOMBIES and GANANDOS. I'm sure you'd probably be changed in personality and thinking as well. I bet Chris in RE5 will have a bit of the same personality since he's been in a lot more shit than Leon. <br>Kill off Jill? What are you talking about? I'm sure she will be in another RE game some time soon. We don't even know if she's in RE5. <br>All I have to say is that the times are moving. You can't live in the past forever. Who the fuck cares about Leon's new change in personality? RE4 was a great game. If it weren't for RE4, there probably would be no more games because Umbrella and the zombies are gone. You can't expect them to keep that same plot when THE ZOMBIES ARE GONE. <br>But yeah, fuck it all. I kind of agree with the "fresh meat" thing. I did <i>not</i> like that weird Angelina Jplie/Lara Croft impersonator. She made me mad. Especially since she kinda had a thing for Leon, and Leon for her. What about Ada, Leon? WHAT ABOUT FUCKING ADA? <br>Okay, I'm done. The IgnorantBa$tArd is out.
HO SHIT. <br>She's DEAD?! Wtf? I should have paid attention to RE5 a bit more... but I've been kinda into Silent Hill more. <br>MASTER OF UNLOCKING IS DEAD?! WTF IS WITH THAT SHIT?! WHO KILLS JILL?! <br>Apparently, Barry is going to get his Jill Sandwich.
wait they killed jill hmmmm didn't no that oh well pretty harsh to take her out of the pic i 'll go check and see if it happened if i can find it well jacob out <br> <br>ps he's right you can't change the past and stop focusing on that
