'The Nest' == 'The Hive'?
I got a little confused since the umbrella labs get called 'the nest' ingame. Is it just another lab or is it basically 'the hive' and why are there 2 different (and similar) names?

Unless NEST is a clever acronym for something, it's pretty mediocre as far as names go, though.

It's pretty much a high tech facility like the one from the movie though, as opposed to the original where it looked more dark, industrial and gloomy, like a 1998 view of cyberpunk, where things were still chunky and obtuse, rather than thin, sleek and minimalist.

So I suppose the name NEST is a nod towards HIVE, where they drew the inspiration from. Probably.

The Hive was from the movie right? I don't think they ever actually gave the name to the place in the game.

Pretty much, it's just Movie vs Game universe.

Are you joking? The hive isn't canon. It's from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hollywood movies.

Good to know, i personally think, 'the hive' has more of badass weight to it.

Eh, I thought the first two were ok besides the fact the game characters were brushed to the side in the second one. Everything past that were indeed truely awful yes.

Does appear this remake is the first time they've named it in game.

They were totally ok dumb B movie shlock.
Servicable as popcorn fodder but not as a RE movie.

I would rather watch the Capcom animated movies, those were at least faithful to all the games prior. (and had some cool moments in them)

1. Movie has nothing to do with the game.
2. In the original RE2 lab doesn't even have a name.

I kind of like the 3rd one too, but.... even though they apparently turn profit the other ones are definitely not amazing.

I'm so glad the guy making those movies is also handling the Monster Hunter movie, and OH what a surprise, his wife is also in that movie.

At least the monsters look like actual Monster Hunter monsters and that one hunter outfit and sword looks like straight out of World

Capcom seems to have liked the original movie. I can't blame them as that one was actually pretty decent unlike all the crappy sequels. They referenced the laser hallway in RE4. Now they reference it again by calling the Lab the NEST, and making the announcer voice sound a lot more like the computer from that movie.

Well the second level of Outbreak is set in the same lab as RE2 (evidenced by the fact it has the plant 43, giant moth, and G-virus samples) and it has the same cavernous central room with 3 walkways, I think that is what inspired the Nest in this game.

It comes closer to what we get in the game than the movie's Hive did anyway.

Just... Don't take anything of the movies into consideration. I know is hard but also try to forget you ever saw them.

Oh my god those movies are terrible.
