About Oldsker and Victor
Does this photo really belong to Victor? Lets talk about it for a moment and compare the facial features.
Recently Dusk Golem, who is known for frequently makes up his own leaks, claimed that the person in this photo is Victor.
But is that really the case? Could an early version of a character look this different and appear in the game long before the first concept art for re9 even existed?
I would not take his word for it, especially considering his reputation as an unreliable source. So lets look at the situation ourselves.
First, lets compare the facial features.
They are completely different, especially if you look at the nose and the distance between the facial features. Victor's lips are much thicker than the man in the photo.
Here the situation does not change. The mouth (lip shape) and the oval of the face do not match again. Even a "healthier or younger" Victor does not resemble the photo from re8 at all. And if glasses like that were planned as part of his design, why were they not added to his younger version? I would sooner believe it was Zeno, but the man in the photo is clearly older, noticeably older than both Zeno and Victor.
I already compared this person with Karl once before, and they are completely different.
However, when you compare the image with Wesker from re4r, the similarities become very clear. The shape of the nose, the distance between the nose and the mouth, and the overall face shape. If this were Victor, why would they use a new Wesker model?
At one point I made an edit of a screenshot of Wesker from re4r (without changing the face, I only slightly added wrinkles) so you can see what I mean:
Conclusion: this photo appears to be an edited version of Wesker's model from re4r, which is suggested by the identical facial features. The time gap between re8 (2021) and re4r (2023) is relatively small, and early Wesker concepts were already known in 2021. Because of that, the person in the photo cannot be an early version of Victor Gideon.
But who is he?
It's still unknown. I can only assume that it is old Wesker. But in the future, it could be anyone who looks like Wesker, just like Zeno.
