Resident Evil: Beyond the Horror - Part 2

Devil May Cry

Stinger is the first of several stupid bosses in Resi 0.
Phantom transforms from spider to scorpion when eyes see red.
Phantom is also a boss from Knights of the Round.
Sprite is a lazy 'copy and paste' job of regular enemies Mask Man and Sky Walker.
Before completing Resi 4, Leon and Ashley escape on a jet ski.
Same kinda thing, only vehicle is swapped for bi-plane.
Moving on.

Resi 0
Shortly before becoming Queen LeechJames Marcus literally brings up 'children'.
Resi 2
I prefer to call Claire's boss G-Spawn.

See how monster pukes symbiotes.
Lisa Trevor is a constant pest in Resi Evil (2002)
Please note extremely deadly club attack.
Mr X from Resi 2 (B scenario).
Harking back to a classic.

In any version, big ass spider Black Tiger is fought underground.
Name is a reference to 1987 arcade of same name, which was also the genesis of Magic Sword.

Final Fight

Uptown in Resi 3.
Up Town (yes with the space), is final stage.
Claire only meets Brian Irons in A game.
How the Mayor's daughter died and how blonde got on his desk is never revealed.
Who does sinister police chief look like I wonder? 
Former champion Street Fighter and Mayor of Metro City Haggar sued Umbrella for using likeness without permission.
Haunting Ground

The Umbrella Chronicles
Wesker drops a chandelier on Lisa Trevor.
To spare DebilitasFiona must arrange for chandelier to subdue homunculus.
Lorenzo vs James Marcus (Resi 0)


Portraits are nigh on identical, yes?

Here's a really sneaky one.

The Darkside Chronicles
During Code: Veronica section, a door has several sets of eyes either side.
(Okay, so what?)

Glad you asked.

If room is not treated with respect, eyes will take Fiona out.
Come on lads, let's do this bitch.
Wow!

Revelations

Trish the vending machine refs Devil May Cry.
Lady pants was a hidden character in sequel, and can only be unlocked by beating hard mode with either Dante or Lucia.
Bathtubs filled with nasty water

Jill resorted to desperation after shower broke down.
Resi Evil (2002)
Chris decided against taking a dip. 
Resi Evil (1996)
Amusingly, wet stuff is apparently 'muddy'.
Which dirty bastard last took a bath?

God only knows.

FBC Commissioner Morgan Lansdale has a keen interest in Dante's Inferno.

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
From Canto 33.

"Full soon shalt thou be where Thine eye shall answer make to thee of this,
Seeing the cause which raineth down the blast."
A nice snap of source material The Divine Comedy.
This is a bit special.

Jill curiously picking up hand still clutching gun is surely reffing...
...Joseph's gruesome discovery during original's infamous FMV intro.
 Arklay Mountains

Resi 3
Resi 7
Code: Veronica

Alfred Ashford vs Vincent Goldman* (Survivor)


*Surname could be reffing antagonist from Sega's The House of the Dead.

Check out internal symbolism.

Alexander Ashford, more affectionately known as Nosferatu, magically breaks free when Claire and Steve are about to leave Antarctica.
Huge axe is for dramatic effect only.
Infected with t-Veronica virus, Steve the Monster is trapped by same weapon, but unlike Nosferatu, wields deadly melee weapon.
Resi 4
After defeating Chief Mendez, Leon ponders key item false eye.
Glass eye is got by merely dispatching a zombie.
The Darkside Chronicles
For you and I, Leon...
We're merely different sides of the same coin.
Krauser's ramblings is not entirely random.

As twins, Alexia and I (Alfred) are two sides of a coin.
Clue is used to solve paper weight puzzle.
Brilliant eh?

One more.

In area where Claire gets sexy mitts on piano roll, note statues holding 'rusted' swordhelmet, shield and armour.
Four keys bearing same decoration open various rooms in the Spencer Mansion.
More bits and bobs.

Nemesis infects victims with tentacles.
Birkin orally rapes Ben.
Operation Raccoon City
T-103 stamps on vials.
Resi 2
Birkin does the same in flashback CG sequence.
Resi 4

Apart from Gamecube original, we get to play Ada in Separate Ways.
La Femme Nikita
Lord Saddler finally shows his true colours.
Eye twitches about rather like...
...a mutation of Birkin in Resi 2.
Check out disclaimer.

Ignoring boring first paragraph, ripped from any film.
This game is protected under the laws of the Raccoon Police Department.

Unauthorized duplication, distribution or exhibition may result in civil liability and criminal prosecution by an appropriate S.T.A.R.S. member. and then some.
Cheesy, but still funny.

Also, Leon can get:

  • Kicked by a cow (reducing energy to bare minimum).
  • Shot dead by Luis (if one opens fire on annoying Spaniard).
  • Called a pervert by Ashley, if camera angle is correct.
  • Devoured by Del Lago, if water in close vicinity is blasted too many times.

Like many, I thoroughly enjoyed Resi 7, until boat section, where I nearly lost the will to live.

Alan vomits icky black substance, aka mold.
This is dodgy, but whatever.

Psychopath Darlene hurls dark blood in Dead Rising 3.
Lockpick

Outbreak
Like Jill, Alyssa is a master of unlocking things.
Master of Knifing is an unlockable first person mode in DS remake Deadly Silence.
Opening anything with lockpick in Resi 7 bags trophy/achievement Master of Unlocking.

Unlocking every shiv door in The Last of Us acquires trophy of same name.

Nice one Naughty Dog.

Take a wild guess at what happens when every locker is opened in save area of The Evil Within?

Yeah.

Handcuffs

WTF?

Indeed, but read on.

Resi 0
Much to Billy's disappointment, Rebecca wasn't interested in bondage.
Let's go back to RPD corridor in Resi 2.

Broken restraint attached to handrail apparently had no purpose.
Coincidence?

Code: Veronica
'A handcuff is attached to an end'

Nonsensical examine can be read while exploring prison.
Finally, Wesker issues two death threats.

Resi 5
Time to die, Chris.
Resi 0
Time to die, Doctor.
Blade Runner undertones aside, my shit is indeed together.
