Missed TF Opportunities in RE5

[TF-Viewer]

I too would like traditional zombies again, I miss them so.

All logic (and "game logic") aside, I think a lot of people were probably hoping for something that fell along the lines of Alexia Ashford's transformations (and one regression?) from Code Veronica. The previous Oroburos battles featured a simple sequence that ended with the host being consumed by the parasites.
All in all, the sequence would've been a little more different if not for the conveniently-placed bodies prior to that fight.

This thread actually brought up something interesting:
How many female TFs are there in the RE series?

Alexia Ashford TFed 3 times in Code Veronica as I recall, and there was that TG/TF in Survivor (though it's not canon as far as I know) and counting this one I think we have 5 female TFs in the series. There might be more but right now I can't think of any.

Do not forget about the sad story about Lisa from Resident Evil REmake who went through various experimental tests done by Umbrella and went through mutations, essentially becoming able to survive any virus or parasite put into her body. And at the end of Resident Evil 0, James Marcus becomes a Queen Leech. Though you couldn't tell he became what is technically female.

Although not canon, there is a conceptual art of Annette Birkin (wife of William Birkin) would look if she was infected with the g-virus.

Ah yes, Lisa.. the origin of the G-virus itself and essentially a proto-Nemesis. Though the thing is there was no onscreen TF of her, so I guess that's why it's gone uncounted. Also, Mrs. Birkin's got some nice abs.

Nope, that's the entirety of Resident Evil TF. Outbreak 2 had a woman that was brought back from the dead and turned into a plant, but by the time the game takes place she's far beyond any human resemblance. You could throw in Onimusha's Hecuba transformation since Onimusha, like Devil May Cry, started development as a Resident Evil game.

I'm kind of hoping that RE: Darkside Chronicles is exclusively set in Raccoon City, because if they include RE:CV then I might have to break down and buy a Wii, and I don't really want to.

There wasn't one in RE:0? I keep thinking there was.. but, eh probably not.

I dont remember there being one in zero.

And whatever happened to Ada? There's probability that shes the antagonist of the next game (if they make one).

Well she had her side story in 4. If they did a 6 I'd like to see her be in it, but so far all I've heard about is this series reboot. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. But actually, more than Ada I'd like to see Jill get back into the series as a playable character. She was the first character to get her own solo game. If I recall correctly the playable characters where in this order Chris and Jill, Leon and Claire, Jill, Claire, Leon, Chris if you go from RE1-RE5 including CV, and excluding 0 (and not counting Sheva from 5 since she wasn't one of the original survivors, as well as not counting Survivor, Gaiden, or Outbreak since they really don't seem to fall into the canon of the series).

And just one other thing, why in the world couldn't it have been called Biohazard outside of Japan? Resident Evil? What's that even mean?

I would have assumed that since the first game takes place within a mansion, it is referring to the evil which resides in it. As for the reason for the name...

"When Capcom was getting ready to release Biohazard in the United States, a DOS-based video game and a punk band named Biohazard could have been hurdles for acquiring rights to this name. Chris Kramer at Capcom claims marketing held a company-wide contest in which Resident Evil was selected as the best fit."

Still think Biohazard sounds better.

The Regis Licker that appeared in RE: Outbreak. As most of you know, a Crimson Head becomes a Licker. Well this lady is inbetween those stages, thus a Regis Licker. No process is shown but the fact that it's female and inbetween stages should be enough.
