As if she hadn't already won my heart, I recently discovered that Claire's response after getting resuscitated in Mercs 3D is "Much appreciated!"
...AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. <3333
For those confused, "Much appreciated" is one of Chris' gratitude!lines in RE5. |3
And GOD I AM SO BEHIND ON THIS THING.
Character bias what character bias It was so hard to pick a single representative shot for this obviously Fo shoooooo. Gorgeous, realistic, well-done, fast-paced action scenes (the best kind are fast-paced; screw that slow-mo BS. It needs to be used SPARINGLY, and RE5 nails it.); every friggin' cutscene in this game is just amazing, in terms of both graphics and content -- especially every scene where Wesker is kicking someone in the face and, let's face it, EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING in the scenes Two On Two and Old Friends, New Enemies is just AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL EYE CANDY AND SO, SO SEXY. ...Except for Excella, who. Actually manages to be more annoying then than she was in the rest of the game combined, but EVERYONE ELSE'S SEXINESS AND THE FACT THAT SHE JUST RANDOMLY DISAPPEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCENE MAKES UP FOR IT <3333333
I SWEAR, Capcom pleases more in this game through subtlety than anything else -- you have to watch several times before you actually catch most of the awesome moves Jill's pulling off at Sonic speed, for instance, or that mocking little bow Wesker gives her when he says "The one and only" sdkfksjdfioejasksldfssdljflskdfs<333333 /FOAMS FOREVER X'DDDDD ♥♥♥♥ IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T CAUGHT IT, GO WATCH -- or that UBER SUBTLE head-nod he gives her at the start of the fight -- or a lot of Wesker's expressions in general because the faces in this game are just done so well in terms of expression, which was amazing at the time (and still is) because video games (the ones I've played, at least) have a rep of having the most awkward facial shifts in cutscenes at times.
I still get chills when I catch that little smirkety-smirk Wesker gives RIGHT as he unhoods Jill -- it's just. So amazingly, convincingly sadistic and it's hard to catch because your eyes automatically go to FULL SCREEN!Jill and if you really know Wesker from past games, you can just read so much into that face in the split-second that you see it.
Body language is done equally well; you can see how Jill is extremely relaxed and submissive around Wesker, but when she's confronting Chris and/or Sheva, her mannerisms change and she's almost hyperaware of everything like an animal. And I've always loved that little sidelong glance she gives Wesker when he says her name in that rhetorical question; THE LITTLE THINGS. CAPCOM DOES THEM RIGHT.
lmao yeaaaah, I. Pay close attention, can you tell. |D I kind of have to, for the muses' sakes.
And the subtlety goes beyond visual -- we never see a second of Jill's time with Wesker between 2006 and 2009 (aside from that initial footage of her in cryostasis in the first trailers), but his one simple line, that impressed sounding, "Remarkable! Still resisting at such an advanced stage..." immediately tells you so, so much and you don't even need flashbacks to know what passed between them -- although I would STILL kill for some DLC based on the two of them. 8[ COME ON, CAPCOM, IT WOULD BE SO COOL -- THEY COULD GO AROUND COLLECTING INNOCENT PEOPLE AND INFECTING THEM AND STUFF and then, idk, they could have an epic boss fight together against... something. That would probably only last about five seconds.
YOU COULD EVEN IMPLEMENT THE CONTROL SCHEME FROM RE4: if you play as Wesker, you've got simple commands like "Stay" and "Follow" (and *WHISTLE* for getting her to come to you, lol) for CPU!Jill, rather than just Cover/Attack. Only it'd be "Stay," "Follow," "Kill that guy," and "Infect." And maybe a bonus "CHOKESLAM" just for Irving. Kind of like ordering your assassins around in AC: Brotherhood. ...What'd be even more hilarious is if Wesker still had a degree of control over her in co-op. |D I CAN SEE IT NOW: GOD-MODDING YOUR PARTNER JUST TO BE A JACKASS. I would so do it, and do my horrible Wesker impression all the while.
