Hi, I have some questions. Please bear with me. I might be all over the place. I have autism, so I'm trying my best. I recently played the original and remake of RE2. Why did the self-destruction go off so easily in both games, and what actually caused the outbreak? I keep hearing different things, like progenitor, G and T, but I am lost. And why did the train blow up? Was Umbrella never intending to save researchers in the original game? Why is it set off by just Mr. X? It seems like a system glitch would have set it off if someone blew on the machine wrong. In the true scenario, Ada's mission was completed once she had Sherry's locket. Why was she still around? She really isn't callous like everyone makes her out to be. Even though the remake makes her seem more manipulative, in the original, she wasn't to me, and which ending is the true ending? I get confused, and also, why is any Resident Evil game hard to play on normal or hard mode? It's just frustrating. Why didn't Claire and Leon and Sherry just stay in the RPD? Would you pick the RPD or the lab or the streets to survive? Shouldn't Ada have been infected, but it's glazed over? Capcom should have added Ada's escape scenario instead of all those other DLCs. Hunks was fun, but those other ones are a waste of time. Like, why make us pay for stuff you're not really doing correctly?
I always believed Annette set it up that way in the remake. The only reason the self-destruction went off was because Leon removed the (G)olgotha Virus and seeing how it caused the outbreak on top of the T-virus, which was developed from the progenitor virus. T is weaker, and G was the aggressive one. Birkin smashed up the G and T virus in the sewers when Hunk's team came to retrieve it, but really the outbreak had been going on since the RE1 game in the Arklay Mountains, but Leon removing the virus set off self-destruction, which I don't blame Annette for because look at what happened to Raccoon City.
Also, I believe even if it was a backup system, Umbrella would have killed the researchers anyway to keep things quiet and prevent evidence from getting out. Leon Claire and Sherry were going to die because Birkin was on the train; it was considered contaminated. The door locks when either player comes from fighting G last because he was still growing. In the original RE2, Mr. X was intended to destroy the lab, so whether he did it accidentally or not, he still did his job by setting it off in either scenario. Again I think Annette set it up to go off in re2 original and remake regardless if anything happened in the lab as a precaution. So to me anything could have set it off if the system was alerted. Claire was able to see Leon on a monitor due to motion detected.The system was set up to see any monsters and how critical things were before it set off Mr x just threw it over the edge.
Ada job was done RE2; the only problem was she needed to escape. Her mission was complete when she opened the locket in the sewer area and found out she had a sample of G, so she just needed ab escape. Leon gets the master key from Ada. Ada was coming to get Leon to escape before Mr.X threw her into the machine. so I don't think she is totally heartless because could have left him after getting the key but probably needed help getting the train going.
ClaireA and Leon B are canon, but both scenarios are canon to me because in the remake, Ada kisses Leon and falls. Claire and Leon still battle Birkin, and Mr. X; Just One deals more than the other. Claire never sees the alligator, and Mr. X gets split in two in her campaign, which I feel is a different X than the one Leon dealt with. Also, Leon still never meets Irons. In the original, Leon was in Ada's business. I replayed the original, and Ada was keeping distance. Leon just kept catching up to her, so in a way, the dude was not catching on that Ada had other things to attend to. She did say, "We will do things your way for now." before he got shot. In the remake, Ada definitely used him to a certain extent, and it was painfully obvious she was deceptive and not good at it. The kiss was reduced to a tactic to get Leon to do what she needed compared to the one in the original, which explains Leon's attitude in the RE4 remake.
If you play any Resident Evil, hard mode is the realistic mode. Hell, even playing Hunk's 4th Survivor mode is realistic to me; having limited bullets and very little room and hordes of zombies makes more sense. And it shows how critical it was for Sherry, Leon, and Claire to get out of the police station. When you go back to RPD to get the last pieces for either scenario, there is a cut scene where zombies is pouring out windows and lickers have shown up.They needed to get to the lab. Neither the lab nor RPD was safe, but I think the lab didn't get bad until the emergency locks were released, so then it got pretty bad. Being on the streets was suicide. If I had a pick from the RPD lab or the streets, I would pick neither, but at least in the lab I might have a chance to escape—just more B.O.Ws to fight.
I do think Ada could possibly have been infected in RE2 because Ada gets hit by Birkin on the train going down to the lab in both scenarios, and blood was drawn, so I don't know how she doesn't have a mutation seeing G is a strong-ass virus because Birkin even fatally wounds his wife, and Capcom was going to make her a boss but scrapped the idea, so maybe they might bring light to it in later installments or save that for another time, but most characters in Resident have been infected, including Leon, Claire, Rebecca, and Jill, and Ada was infected in the RE4 remake. I agree as well; they should have added how Ada escaped the lab.
They gave Hunk a mini game in the original; they should have given Ada a mini scenario for how She escaped the lab with the types of injuries she had on top of giving Leon a rocket launcher. I do feel the developer relies on graphics more than good storytelling nowadays. The RE2 remake wasn't bad, but to me they replaced the DLC with stuff I don't care about. Tofu and hunk scenarios are cool, but they should have added Adas as a bonus; people would have paid for it, but you can check out Resident Dark Chronicles or Umbrella Chronicles, and it talks about Ada escaping the city. That will give you a glimpse at how she survived.
