No Umbrella at all- Kobayashi said in the latest NP that they were left out of the game because it just doesn't make sense for the government to allow them to exist after all that's happened.

I'm currently replaying thru Resident Evil Zero, and a while ago I just visited the Research Facility's "church". The interior architecture of the church sports classical European styles (Dark Age? I don't know). Specifically, the altar doesn't display any clear symbols of any religion that I'd know of, nor does it seem to display a distinct symbol for a unique religion that exists in the RE universe other than the painting in the center (which unfortunately I can't take a closer look at).

Could Spencer be a member of some wacko Pagan religion that's headquartered in Europe? Look at the screenshot of the Red-cloaked monk in this Resi4 screen gallery:

"I am GOAT MAN! Kill him!"

The official Resi4 site also confirms that Ashley, the Pres' daughter, was frollicking in Spain then got kidnapped. She's also 20 yrs old. Lucky for Leon, yep, she's legal.

Wow. Umbrella is just gone? This is big. If Capcom is willing to get rid of them, they could get rid of anybody.

I'd ask who Spencer is, but that probably involves some uber spoilers so I'll just keep my nose out of it.

If Capcom doesn't dish out on what happened these 6 years I will be a very unhappy camper... >=(

I only recall certain pieces of RE0, but I think the church sports a Gothic theme...Were there stained glass windows?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #605 on:** June 25, 2004, 09:32:28 AM »

Spencer's the owner and co-founder of Umbrella. You learn this in RE1 thru a couple lines of text and it's emphasized in RE0 thanks to a couple more lines of text. The "evil" characters simply point out Spencer is the head guy of the corporation.

As for the church, i could agree it's gothic but the features weren't elaborate as the stuff you'd find in Tim Burton's BATMAN film. The altar space was fairly small. No distinct gargoyle-like sculptures, no stained glass (that I could clearly see).

I'm wildly guessing that Spencer's a wacko Pagan and we'll be meeting up with his freaky homeboys/teachers/comrades in the homeland as part of Resident Evil 4: Leon's EuroTrip.

Heh. Yeah, I just played some REmake the other day and learned as much. Sounds like a carazy cat.

PGC has private messaging for a reason!

Heh, that's true. This is all about RE4 and nothing else. Obey they mighty Hypno Toad, you'll be glad you did

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #615 on:** July 03, 2004, 04:49:16 PM »

Okay, I'm back after a LONG, long, long, looong time... and have some serious catching up to do.

Anyway, I believe there was some discussion about the confusion of whether Resident Evil 4 could take place in Spain or South America. I'm not sure if it has been officialy announced where the majority of the game is situated... but as far as I believe, I think that it is in fact in Mexico.

Someone was saying that they noticed lots of Spanish refrences a few pages back, including the music and language, but according to history:

When Hernan Cortez landed on Mexico, he was greeted by the ancient Aztecs which he soon conquered for their amount of gold in the country. The Aztecs weren't completely destroyed, BUT the Spanish did inhabbit a lot of the land. They converted their sacraficial religion to Catholicism, and it is a fact today that a lot of Mexico is still inhabbited with thousands of Spanish. History even says that most of the Mexican language includes Spanish.

(Yes, I've done my research

)

This could also explain why it doesn't mention Euro Currency, due to the game possibly being in Central America. ALSO, Spanish architecture is very similar to "Gotchic" architecture, which could also explain the Gothic-like churches that Leon visits.

Well, this is my theory anyway... and it will probablly be washed down the plug hole after Capcom officialy announce that the game is based in Europe... but it's worth a try.

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #616 on:** July 03, 2004, 09:08:22 PM »

It takes place somewhere near spain in Europe, that's official. The South America was from GameInformer's "Exclusive" RE4 Info blunder, which was misinformed and theus has been corrected since.

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #617 on:** July 03, 2004, 09:40:24 PM »

Haha!

Well, I guess that's my usual luck.

I'm not doubting you, and I do believe you... but could I please have a link to wherever Capcom states that Resident Evil 4 is in Europe?

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #618 on:** July 03, 2004, 10:06:30 PM »

lol. heh, Try RE4.com

or PlanetGamcube.come , Cube.Ign.com , The Magic-box.com

Either one will state that it takes somewhere in Europe. It's even been stated in interviews with the staff of RE4 during and before E3.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #619 on:** July 04, 2004, 02:34:00 AM »

Zero Plague,

Visit RE4's main JPN website, look at Ashley's character description, and it mentions that she was last seen in "Spain."

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #620 on:** July 05, 2004, 10:22:54 PM »

1min high-rez E3 2004 Resident Evil 4 trailer.

See Media Blitz!!

Capetalf · « **Reply #621 on:** July 07, 2004, 11:15:22 AM »

I don't know if that was said before (it's a BIG thread), but don't you think it would be cool if Capcom give us a bonus disc containing playable parts of the first demos released (in the mansion)? They said all that was "thrown away". It looks like a big waste.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #622 on:** July 07, 2004, 04:32:49 PM »

Seeing the detailed indoor Beta environments would be nice, but the "traditional" play mechanics they employed just don't seem so interesting anymore.

I still believe the "castle" environment w/ the candle holders from the previous demos are very much intact in the new RE4.

Mario · « **Reply #623 on:** July 09, 2004, 05:56:11 AM »

Delayed

to

next year?

Berny · « **Reply #624 on:** July 09, 2004, 06:11:18 AM »

I'm glad they all got together and established ONE false release date.

Well whichever it is, "Damn...."
