"Shadows of Rose" DLC, mEhhh

[talloyer]

The upcoming DLC does not look awful but it is a disappointment to me. It would have been much better the Campaign of Chris Redfield and his team during the events of Resident Evil Village, since breaking into Winters' house, and all things that happen afterwards, such as Miraada escaping, getting into the Village, what the hell they were doing while poor Ethan Winters was "soloing" the 4 Lords, extracting Mia Winters and why the hell the did not help Ethan while he was fighting Miranda. Apparently Capcom's writing staff just couldn't figure out intelligent ways to provide these pertinent explanations, which is very disappointing. But then this comes from a studio that uses "Wikipedia" to remember the ongoing lore of the franchise:

Another wasted opportunity was to actually show Chris Redfield going to BSAA HQ to confront them about their uses of BioWapons as soldiers, where after he is there a bioterrorist attack happens and he and BSAA susvivors have to fend themselves, where the Connections would be the culprits and Umbrella appears to save(?) the day, and even HUNK appears to solve everything. Do I have more imagination than Capcom writing staff? It's a pity this kind of storyline was unused.
This leaves us with already underwhelming "Shadows of Rose", showing Rose Winters visiting the Village 16 years after the incident where her father rescued her, for reasons, but serves as plausible excuse to reuse and retrofit the main game's scenarios. That was quite far-fetched concept, probably long after the events of presumably upcoming "Resident Evil 9", so I assume it will be a very contained story without any repercussions to the overall lore of the franchise. But what was shown is unpleasant, Duke made villain, plenty of hallucinations... I am very uncertain this will be a good DLC, but hey, at least it will be on 3rd person.

I agree with this. Though I think Rose's DLC is going to be more mental than actually going back to the village, since the village was pretty much blown. From what the trailer showed it will probably be all hallucinations while going thru the ruins, or a subconscious dream. Might be a reason why Duke is a villain.
Also regarding Chris following up on the BSAA, they are probably saving that for another DLC akin to RE7. In RE7, they left plot holes and true endings behind more DLC that way they can squeeze a little more cash out. With RE7 if you wanted to know what happened to Lucas or Zoe, you would need to buy the DLC or else it just leaves their fate unresolved.

I think they're saving the BSAA plot for RE9, atleast i hope so, I want it to get proper attention and not a 1 hour DLC. Knowing Capcom they'll drop it for something else though.

You have you're opinion, which is fine. However, let me correct you on a couple things.

You can't expect developers that constantly hire new people throughout the years to remember the lore of Resident Evil. It makes sense that they would have to do a little research from time to time.

second, Rose is not revisiting the village. It was destroyed with the bomb Chris planted.
Rose is entering the conscious of the cadou in order to get rid of her powers. The world she enters mimics the village location.

Before I call it meh I have to get my hands on it first.

Chris Redfield going to BSAA HQ

I see what you did there, heh. But so what? In "Shadows of Rose" there is no Village either, just abandoned ruins of a former village. My idea for Chris going to BSAA HQ was to provide closure to this lingering plot to make "Resident Evil 9" plot free to be anything else, it's like "Dishonored: Death of the Outsider" or "Doom 3: Ressurection of Evil" were to Dishonored 2 and Doom 3.
But what I REALLY wanted from a Chris DLC was the side campaign set during the events of Resident Evil: Village. as I had explained.

[Covert Cactus]

Chris going to BSAA HQ to find answers/raise hell over the bio weapon soldiers would be better off as a full game rather than a 1-3 hour dlc campaign. Maybe if it served as a prelude to RE9 but not as a full story. The ending of RE8 clearly suggest that Chris is probably now a head honcho at BSAA or started a new organization so it can be assumed he solved that crisis. He is in charge of the men who are watching Rose and it suggests that her powers are being used to fight bio weapons. If Chris appears in the DLC he will be in his mid 60s which will be interesting to see. I think a dlc of Chris during the main events of RE8 would be boring. Just more of him mowing down hordes of werewolves. Once the mercenaries update comes out you'll be able to do just that expect with no story to create context.

[Sassanid]

This is all subjective opinions. Just as much as you would like to play the part of Chris, the character I hate most in RE8, I would rather play the story of Rose and take a more horror approach to the game that a tactical swat team led by the world's biggest douchbag.

Just because the DLC doesn't revolve around Chris doesn't mean it's going to be bad. I much rather delve more in to the development of Rose and why she was 'the chosen one'.

Why so much hate for Chris? He is pretty much the only one doing what it takes to stop the all the BOWs while trying to stave off the terrorists and corrupted government organizations trying to get their hands on them.

Because he's an arrogant POS. Kills Mia without giving Ethan any explanation and letting him suffer thinking it was really her. Then takes Rose from him by force and all he says is "Ethan...NO". Wow, what a great guy.

Not a fan of his persona in the RE universe. He should bow down and kiss Ethan's feet since Ethan did all the hard work that Chris and his band of merry men couldn't.

[RJX3029]

Well Ethan is actually a BOW from the beginning. He died in 7 and is mold. That's what Mia (Miranda) was screaming at him about in the prologue. About his tests. Chris knows this. So that's probably why they kept him in the dark. Because the mutamycete communicates somewhat telepathically, and if Ethan knew anything so would the Mutamycete and Miranda.

Are you sure you're not just jelly that Chris is able to punch boulders?
What were you expecting him to do after killing fake Mia, sit Ethan down and discuss it over tea and scrumpets in front of her body? He had no idea if Ethan had been influenced by Miranda and had to move quickly in case of any other controlled infected were around since technically the Op was not official and part of his own project.
After losing track at the crash site it takes time to locate where he was going and making sure his team was well equipped. Also who's to say the team wasn't dealing with their own issues at the time. Plus they had to make sure they would not get infected in the process. Also setting up a base of operations and all those explosives in the warehouse would also take some time too. I am pretty sure that if they were able to plan the assault and they did not have to worry about Ethan or the baby they would have taken out all the lords and the village in one full assault in the morning and be back in time for.... again tea and scrumpets

Bah, that was just a very crappy retcon Crapcom did to the story of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, where Ethan was clearly on INTERMEDIATE stage of Mold Infection, as stated by "Infection Report" file:[residentevil.fandom.com]
"(...)

Mid-stage Infection
Once the mold reaches the brain, the subject's thoughts become "in tune" with those of the E-Series asset.

If this state continues, the host will lose all sense of ego.

Crapcom just cannot keep Resident Evil continuity in check, no wonder most of its past characters are missing, it does not know what to do with them; and I fear what will be done to them if either ever return.

[BaLuX]

It looks like CAPCOM wants us to familiarize with Rose, in order to pull out RE9 when the time comes.

But no matter what you think, being disappointed by a DLC you have watched almost nothing of it, is frankly stupid.

They're always inventing new characters they might bring some back some maybe not. And the stories aren't meant to be gone over and nitpicked for the smallest plot holes and this isn't even a plot hole it's in a paper you find. Tells you molded are telepathic. In 7, not at the end of 8 just cause "oh crap we forgot to retcon that." Just doesn't say that's why Chris doesn't tell him anything. Gotta give it the benefit of doubt use your imagination to fill in the holes. Try playing it when you're in a good mood or somethin Idk I thought it was fine. Most RE stories are like that and are still good.
