  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the Resident Evil Mythology; the most expansive chronological timeline available covering Capcom’s best-selling videogame series. This is the fourth iteration of a document that originally launched on popular fan site Biohaze way back in 2006. Further updates followed in 2008 and 2009 before the project was put on hiatus after the release of Resident Evil 5. Since then the timeline has remained dormant, slowly being updated behind the scenes and eventually evolving into what you see before you now. The aim was to provide a canonical summary of the entire series, so anyone hoping to find references to the Paul W.S. Anderson movieverse, the S.D. Perry books, Wildstorm comics, ARG, or things like Teppen and Biohazard Clan Master, then I’m sorry but this document may not be not for you. I try to stick only to games and related materials presented by Capcom Japan. That’s not to say other materials are not equally as valid and cannot be analysed and enjoyed, but I personally don’t believe they have a place in the primary timeline. I have been an avid Resident Evil fan since 1997 and although I still enjoy the games, I have always found the overall universe and storyline to be the most compelling aspect of the franchise. The genesis of this particular timeline can be traced back to the release of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on the Sony PlayStation. I was still at school at the time and this was my pre- internet days. What made Nemesis unique was its interesting placement of being set both 24 hours prior to and after the events of Resident Evil 2.

  • RE3 Guide Layout
    It’s been a month since the chaos at the mansion. September. While the Umbrella Corporation quietly conducts its sinister business in the background, the townspeople turn back to their normal lives. Now it’s started again, worse than ever. The T-Virus has spread, polluting the citizens, turning the towns- people into a seething herd of walking dead. No one is safe. None will survive... Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the third title in Capcom’s saga of terror. It begins just hours before RE2, and exists as a sort of side game (or sequel/prequel, depending on how you look at it). Jill Valentine, special S.T.A.R.S. operative, reprises her role as the hunted. The faceless evil of the Umbrella Corporation is loose on the streets in the form of genetically mutated undead, and Jill is trapped in the city. The object is simple: avoid becoming a zombie entree and get out of Raccoon City! You’ll have difficult decisions to make along the way; decisions that affect the course of the game. This guide explores all possibilities. When a crossroads occurs, the different routes are marked either (1) and (2) or (A) and (B), depending whether the decision occurs as the result of a Live Selection or player preference. This is a deep game with lots of repeat playability. Different modes and a mini-game enhance the action, and make this the most comprehensive RE game ever. this guide downloaded from ignguides.com from this guide downloaded ©1999 All Rights Reserved.

    Lara Croft and Jill Valentine Understanding the Representation of Female Protago- nists in Triple-A Video Games in the #MeToo Era Antonio Rodrigues da Silva Neto BACHELOR’S THESIS November 2020 Degree Programme in Media and Arts Interactive Media ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media and Arts Interactive Media RODRIGUES DA SILVA NETO, ANTONIO: Lara Croft and Jill Valentine Understanding the Representation of Female Protagonists in Triple-A Video Games in the #MeToo Era Bachelor's thesis 79 pages, appendices 3 pages November 2020 Recent years have seen a change in female representation in media as move- ments like #MeToo brought the issues of sexual harassment and abuse to the forefront of public discussion. The objective of this thesis was to analyze and understand changes made to the portrayal of two female protagonists from long running video game series, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, in response to a more gender-aware audience. Their portrayals in the games were evaluated through feminist and queer lenses based on Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory, Carol Clover’s Final Girl trope and Jack Halberstam’s queer discussion of the two concepts. A secondary objective of the thesis was to understand how those classic works of feminist film theory could be translated to video game analysis in 2020. It was found that through their many appearances, both characters had their de- signs changed more than once and both had positive and negative aspects, par- ticularly when it came to catering to the male gaze and over-sexualized character designs.
