Is Resident Evil 6 Set In China?

more likely gangster zombie/parasite things since chinese triads love to gang up on victims with machetes anyway

If they’re all cute like Hsien-ko :)  I used to love Jiangshi films when I was a kid, so scary how they resurrect from their caskets and how the daoshi stops them w/ the talisman.. many funny situations too.

Those zombies look really cool! It’d be awesome if there were one of those in every village and they were like a mini boss! (◕‿◕✿)

I think this would most likely take place on HK judging by the actress s background and HK should offer alot of cramped and claustrophobic spaces for zombie action

I certainly hope it isn’t a reboot of the series. RE5 left the story wide open with possibilities at the end, even if it wasn’t the greatest game, itself.

There’s already too many reboots these days.

There isn’t a single Japanese character in the main cast of the franchise. Also, the more Capcom wants to be politically correct about this the more stupid they will make the game look. RE5 ended up with african towns full of asians, caucasians and what not running around everywhere, that and a forced co-op mode with a black female character. It’s quite ironic that at the end of the day both Africa and China are places where their own goverments and their own people are the ones that screw each other the most. But that’s always “strangely” absent in all these debates about so-called racism and lack of cultural sensitivity.

It makes RE4 really easy sometimes, though, because they really like to yell that they’re behind you and that they’re running around to the side of the house/room you’re in to flank you.

In all seriousness, I think urban China would be a great setting for a Resident Evil.

It would be fantastic to step into a factory in the game where infected chinese zombies are making ps3s and 360s.

Mandatory Female Partner gets a Hsien-ko outfit?

So you basically want DJ and breakdancing zombies?

I personally feel RE6 should be a retcon of the end of RE5, that shows the real end of Wesker and Jill and Chris taking him down for good.

The way RE5 ended bugged me. Aside from being an entirely anticlimactic ending, it horribly cheated Jill out of a very very much deserved chance to help take down Wesker. Jill was directly involved in the events of RE1, and to top it off, RE5 had Wesker essentially rape her as a person. Not only were the antibodies inside her used to make Uroboros possible, but Wesker forced her to actively aid his efforts by killing her own comrades in arms and nearly kill Chris, all while perfectly aware of it but trapped in her own body. Wesker turned her into his murdering pet willing to do anything to please a master she despised. Worst of all, he took her, a woman  worst of all following orders to support nefarious activities she fought directly for at least a decade. He took a woman committed to the fight against biohazards as a cause great enough to risk her life, turned her into the mother of the worst biohazard ever created, and forced her to do anything it took to spread that biohazard across the world, all while completely aware of it.

Wesker more or less took Jill’s identity and made a big joke out of it.

If all that isn’t more than enough to justify her having a role in the final fight against Wesker at least on par with Chris, I don’t know what it would take.

Then the game adds a bit of insult to injury by deliberately making Jill stay behind while Chris and Sheva went after Wesker, get in a helicopter, then as soon as she arrives… give up the rocket launcher to Sheva instead of use it herself, as if to say Sheva’s better than her and deserves it more.

And I’m not screaming that Jill needed to replace Sheva either, not in any way. It really wouldn’t have been that hard to include her in the final fight. During the fight itself, Jill could have taken part, whether as a possible third player or just as an AI that can’t die (except maybe in certain circumstances) but is limited in what she can do. And the final scene with the rocket launchers? All they needed was a third one for Jill to use.

The decisions the scriptwriter made toward the end of RE5 deliberately prevented Jill from taking her rightful place during the final confrontation with Wesker, despite having far more reason than even Chris (thanks to RE5′s script) to deal the killing blow.

For that reason, I think RE6 should be the real end to Wesker, with Jill and Chris back to take him down for good.

I don’t expect that to happen, though, since Capcom’s already established a pattern. Despite all the text above, I am NOT so upset by RE5′s ending that I’m going to refrain from Capcom products or RE6 or anything like that. Resident Evil always had a bit of B-movie feel to it, and how poorly they handled Jill’s character after the fight with her is what you can expect from a B-movie story. But if I had a choice, I’d much rather see Jill allowed to redeem herself in the next big numbered entry. Revelations isn’t good enough, since it’s a side game on a portable device, not a main entry in the series.
