Most useless character in the classic series. I genuinely feel that and I don't even hate her. She's just completely pointless. Why the fuck is she in RE1? I know the story and how she helps Chris progress but as a PERSON, what the fuck is her purpose for existing?

>>2207404
What is the purpose of us all?

>>2207404
>as a PERSON, what the fuck is her purpose for existing?

Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Chambers just wanted to start a family?

>>2207404
Resident Evil 0 gave her some purpose.

>>2207404
RE is a Japanese game made by Japanese men, remember? There were far too many adult women in that game.

>>2207430
Yeah, she's there to be bari regaru pettanko, as opposed to the mature and experienced 24 year old Jill

>>2207418
Except she's not the same person at all in RE0.

>>2207280
Was it a first aid spray she sprayed on Chris in their first encounter? If so, why doesn't it heal him?

Her purpose was so you could find the hidden photo of her on Wesker's desk, proving he's a creep.

Someone had to play the piano for Chris. Because only women can play....eventually.

ada best girl

>>2207280
Such an underrated video game qt3.14.

>>2207280
Woah! What is it?

>>2207430
>There were far too many adult women in that game.

What's wrong with this? The series would be so much worst without Jill. Rebecca should have just been a medic sent in with Bravo team. Not actually a part of the team.

>>2207872
he was sarcastic

it's funny. Barry was being black mailed into getting you killed, and HE WAS STILL MORE USEFUL THAN REBECCA

Jill, you're here too!

oh my fucking god

So apparently Rebecca wasn't even Lynn Harris' worst work.

I know Rebecca has had a rather precocious childhood and that this has lead to her being rather sheltered. On the other hand, with some real world experience, she could grow into a wonderful humanitarian and a great gift to whatever community she chooses to belong to.

I wonder if she did it with Chris.

>>2210789
Chris is gay, man.

I loved her in RE0. Apparently she has since then been completely scrubbed from the series.

>>2210803
DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT CHRIS MAN SERIOUSLY

>>2210853
This case was too weird. This case was...

>>2210875
what the fuck was that dialogue

the dialogue in all the endings dont make sense, especially the one with barry

"THEY ALWAYS WENT OUT FOR ME, EVEN TODAY, UH OLDEST DAUGHTER"

what does this even mean?

>>2210892
Listen man, these are the things main things about the way they handled the voice acting process, that is kind of common knowledge in RE circles:

- they wrote the script in Japanese first, then translated it to English. Right here you have the first strike, no way the dialogue is going to sound as good as if it were originally in English;

- the guy in charge of directing the voice actors, who were professionals unlike the live actors, wanted each word to be clear to Japanese players. This is why the flow is off and they all sound robotic, and the script was already awkward English to begin with.

I wish I had the energy to do a more in-depth analysis but here's one example

the lines Chris has in one ending, posted by >>2210875

^ this sounds so close to how they'd say it in Japanese it's not even funny. The second part especially, they way he stops the line halfway through would never be said by a native English-speaker, but word by word that's a common way to break a line in Japanese.

>>2207404

Don't bully the Becky-chan

>>2207404
Still more purpose than Jill, who is just a weak Chris with more storage space.

>>2207862
Mag nigga. Becky is love, Becky is life. I especially liked her in RE0; too bad she was the only reason to play that game.

>>2207404
It's questionable how she got into a special force with her age and gender to begin with. If you think about it, her whole purpose makes herbs and first aid sprays canon. I always believed herbs were exclusively a game mechanic like ink ribbons are. Then I played RE6 and they mixed herbs with a dead serious attitude in a life and death situation.

>>2211996
>It's questionable how she got into a special force with her age and gender to begin with

Later backstory tried to justify this by claiming that she was some kind of child prodigy who managed to graduate medical school, the police academy AND the presumably intensive special STARS training by the time she was 18. Jill was also supposedly ex-Delta Force (Were women even eligible for Delta Force in the '90s?) and a bomb disposal expert by the time she was in her early 20s, so it's safe to say that STARS members don't ever need sleep.

Regarding herbs, back when I first played RE in the '90s, I assumed it wasn't a coincidence that Rebecca's live action actress looked like she had Native American background, and that they were trying to play up the whole tribal medicine thing. Still, doesn't matter now, since REmake and Zero made her Eurasian when they started patterning her after that J-pop star.

>>2210943
I would be really interested to see any behind the scenes footage from the live action intro shoot and dialogue recordings but I've never been able to find anything.

>>2212052
Because it was destroyed after production when everyone realized that releasing that to the public would wipe out humanity. Everyone would laugh themselves to death.

>>2212043
RE is full of people who are far too young to be doing what they're doing. Hell, Leonardo in CV knows how to fly a fucking freight plane at 16 or something.

>>2212057
Are you for real? The live acting is really cool.

>>2212064
JOOOOSSSSEEEEPPPPPPHHHHHHH

>>2212064
WAAAIIT.

DON'T!

GO!

>>2212064
WAAAIIT!

DON'T!

GO!

>>2210892
When does Barry say that?

>>2212052
Search for "The Birth of Biohazard" on YouTube.

>>2212075
He says that in the ending where he's alone with Jill.

>>2212075
In Jill's ending if Barry survives, but Chris isn't rescued. Though I heard it as "They always wait up for me". Doesn't help that Barry Gjerde's enunciation is terrible.

>>2212081
Interesting. I've only ever gotten the endings where they all survive. I had no idea there was extra dialogue in the other ones.

>>2212091
Yeah, if Chris/Jill isn't rescued, your character will have a brief conversation with their supporting character. If no one survives, Jill's ending just has her looking unhappy and letting down her hair, whereas Chris just looks annoyed and lights up a cigarette.

>>2212094
Just watched all of the endings. I love that the supposed interior of the helicopter looks like a locker room with a big wooden bench.

>>2212091
There's a surprising amount of alternate ways things can happen in RE1. That's what I missed the most in 2 and the new Resident Evils. Adds replay value.

>>2212094
The endings are wildly inconsistent in their characterization. If Chris AND Jill survive, they both look traumatized.

>>2212097
Yeah, hardly surprising that the live-action scenes were shot across one weekend on a budget of about five cents.

Isn't it canon that all four survived? There is no ending showing this.

>>2212101
I think far and away the funniest thing about the endings is how terrible the yawning and sleeping noises that Lynn Harris makes in the Rebecca endings are. The fact that it's not live and dubbed over the video slightly out of sync makes it seem even more amusingly awkward.

>>2212115
I always thought that was strange as well.

>>2212115
Yeah, all four of them (and Brad, obviously) escaped canonically, but weirdly, even the retelling in Umbrella Chronicles doesn't show all of them getting out.

>>2212126
The only game that shows this is the pachislot one apparently. I fucking hate pachislot.

>>2212126
>>2212123
It's like they don't exist at all in their respective counterpart scenario. They don't even get mentioned.

>>2212149
Barry shows up in the intro to Chris' scenario, but it's implied that he died. This leads me to wonder, in Jill's scenario, Chris disappears while running towards the mansion, so does Barry. So why was he not in that prison with Jill?

>>2212157

He is not a swift runner

"Hope this is not Chris' blood..."

So who's blood was it that Barry examined early in the game? Was it really Chris' blood?

boring answer:probably kenneth's

>>2212325

could of belonged to any of the hundreds of dead people in the mansion

>>2212101
RE3 has even more alternate things that can happen.

>>2212391
I love RE3 for that.

Been playing the game once every few months since I picked up the GameCube version, and it wasn't until last week that I had Nikolai appear at the gas station, and Carlos in the pharmacy.

>>2212391
I guess I should've clarified. There's a surprising amount for 1996 is what I meant.

That's nice
