Talk:Resident Evil: Degeneration

Status

RE: Degeneration is regarded amongst many fans as the the true movie representing the RE Name, instead of Paul W.S Anderson's pathetic attempts at a franchise. I think this should be included in the main article. 91.107.155.41 (talk) 04:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Totally agreed, this film is THE Resident Evil film. Unfortunately, Wikipedia deals with verifiability, so unless we can find a reliable source that actually says so, we're outta luck...--142.213.254.2 (talk) 14:08, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

It's an extended cut scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.246.133 (talk) 13:34, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Canon?

there are 2 series' of them.

Resident Evil Movie

Biohazard Movie

The "Resident Evil Movie Series" is the non-canon one, whilst the "Biohazard Movie Series" is unknown.

The Biohazard series follows within the "canon-line," as in it has nothing in it that the games say is non-canon. And, due to being closer to Capcom than the Resident Evil Movie Series, the canon should rather be under "Reputed Canononical". That way people can discuss wether-or-not the Biohazard series should be counted as canon without the page saying it is or isn't.OsirisV (talk) 13:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Your chosen method of distinguishing the two sets (Resident Evil/Biohazard) makes no sense. Both sets of movies (and all the games) are called Biohazard in Japan and Resident Evil outside Japan. Better to say "live action movies" and "CG animated movies". In any case, I think it's fairly clear (if arguably original research) that this CG movie is meant to be canon. As far as we can see, it slots right into the story, between the events of RE4 and RE5, without changing any pre-established facts. Philip Reuben (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

K. Well, I distinguished the difference by the films original name. As in, the Live Action ones were officialy called Resident Evil, with it changed to Biohazard in Japan. Whilst it's the oposite for the CGI ones.OsirisV (talk) 11:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Voices?

I've noticed that Wikipedia removed what I wrote that IGN reported the reprisal of Leon and Clare's game voices.

I'm not sure why it's being removed. I even provided a link. ~GuardianEarth

"Wikipedia" is not a body that reverts your edits. Singular users do that. An anonymous editor (which unfortunately are very often vandals) reverted you.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 16:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Can Wikipedia track these guys? I thought you were able to keep tabs on people who made edits that were abusive or something. ~GuardianEarth

Insertion of Opinion

• The trailer also suggests an encounter - OR, speculation.
• a creature showing signs of G-Virus mutations, similar to those of William Birkin from Resident Evil 2. - OR, speculation.

You are not supposed to put your opinion into articles.Mr T (Based) (talk) 20:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

[1] I really don't think a cite is needed for something so obvious. It'd be speculation to say that the creature 'is infected with the G-Virus, but all it says is that it shows signs of G-Virus mutation.--KojiDude ^(C) 21:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

You might not think it's needed, but it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ATT#What_is_original_research.3F: - Material counts as original research if it:

1. introduces a theory, method of solution, or any other original idea;
2. defines or introduces new terms (neologisms), or provides new definitions of existing terms;
3. introduces an argument without citing a reliable source who has made that argument in relation to the topic of the article; or
4. introduces an analysis, synthesis, explanation or interpretation of published facts, opinions, or arguments that advances a point that cannot be attributed to a reliable source who has published the material in relation to the topic of the article.

It's obvious to you, and that's your personal observation. But you do not have a source.Mr T (Based) (talk) 10:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

That'd be amazing if WP:ATT wasn't an essay. It's not OR or speculation, it's just a note that the creature shows the same type of mutations.--KojiDude ^(C) 20:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Material published by reliable sources can be put together in a way that constitutes original research. Synthesizing material occurs when an editor comes to a conclusion by putting together different sources. - From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Synthesis_of_published_material_which_advances_a_position. Not hard to grasp at all. And while WP:ATT may be an essay, what contributes OR is most definitely not.Mr T (Based) (talk) 11:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

It's not drawing a conlcusion. Drawing a conclusion would be saying "The creature is infected with the G-Virus". All it says is "The creature shows symptoms of G-Virus infection". It's an observation, one which any person could make.--KojiDude ^(C) 14:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I Have re-added it. BUT... I have removed the William Birkin part. So now it just says that that segment suggests that theres going to be an encounter with a creature showing G-virus. COINCIDENTALY... The creators of Biohazard 5 mentioned that Degeneration helps out with 5s storyline. For one thing, Sherry Birkin is in 5, she has G-virus in her... perhaps this "final-boss"-esque G-Creature is to give a better backstory to G and give more info... possibly in Sherrys' favour.OsirisV (talk) 19:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Sherry and G in RE5? What're you talking about? There's none of those in that game...--142.213.254.2 (talk) 14:15, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

The trailer also suggests an encounter with a creature showing signs of G-Virus mutations. - What the trailer does or does not suggest is a matter of opinion, speculation, and original research. If you want to quote a reliable source on what they think the trailer suggests, go ahead. As for the latter part, that is definitely original research, but again, if you want to quote a reliable source saying it's a creature showing signs of G-virus mutation, please do so. Otherwise, it's original research, which you know isn't allowed on Wikipedia.Mr T (Based) (talk) 14:15, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

How is it original research? The trailer shows a creature that has the basic signs of the G-Virus, and you hear Leon shout "run". The "run" is obviously meant to show Leon is facing the creature. That's not opinion or drawing conlusions, it's staring you right in the face. I actually think the "suggests" part should be changed to "depicts".--KojiDude ^(C) 21:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

none of this really matters because now the movie is out and it shows an antagonist mutate after injecting himself with g-virus Strobes13 (talk) 16:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Rating Deletion

Allright, who keeps deleting the rating evey time I include it there and why?The Editor 155 (talk) 18:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Look at the history of the article by clicking on the 'history' tab to see who did what edit. I removed it because such ratings are not included in articles. See featured articles like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(film), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_vs._Predator_(film), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner, etc. There's a long discussion about ratings here and a shorter one here.Mr T (Based) (talk) 19:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Pics

I grabbed some pics from the TGS Trailer and will upload them soon. I just have to change the sizes. It does look like there are 2 G-Carriers, one of which is William Birkin.

It's me again File Planet has a 11 min preview of the movie. I'll make sure to grab pics from it. C&C Modder 15:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.16.6 (talk)

pure CG?

some of these shots look real, any chance they someone mixed real shots/environments in with the CG? --66.158.232.100 (talk) 19:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

No This movie is A CG Movie nothing real in it i've seen it but the graphics are pretty cool except for The Senator His Face looks funny —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.142.59.36 (talk) 10:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Improve it

• Can someone improve the plot. I would, but I dont feel very well. Those who wanna know the plot, watch the fillm in Youtube. __- Witchy2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.251.165 (talk) 20:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Suggesting us to watch it illegally... way to go. Buy it instead, and support this great film so that it outshines the lumps of crap that the live action RE films are.--142.213.254.2 (talk) 14:19, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

False plot

People keep undoing my revisions. The plot they are adding is false. Curtis Miller is a protagonist and has no hiding place. The SRT is not a major unit and neither do they find any hiding place, their task is merely to rescue survivors inside the Airport. That part of the film is less than 40 mins. long. Here http://watch-movies.net/movies/resident_evil_degeneration/ watch the film (#3) you will see that the information I added is true.OsirisV (talk) 20:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Please be aware that Wikipedia's style guidelines (here) reccomend a plot section of 400-700 words, so I think we need to summarise a little bit more in this section. It's at 813 now, and isn't complete. So it does need trimming. Let's not edit war over it, I'm sure we can sort it out with little trouble.Mr T (Based) (talk) 21:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

K... I finished it (was editing for an hour so didn't see). But at least it's a completed version.OsirisV (talk) 21:53, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Just gave it a trim, it's a little over 1,000 words now, so it's not too bad and now it's complete we'll have no trouble smartening it up. Thank you for the complete plot, OsirisV.Mr T (Based) (talk) 21:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

You're Welcome... I'm not so used to large edits. Usually my edits on all wiki sites are small yet informative. But I guess I got carried away on this page.OsirisV (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Just one quick note: I was under the impression that the forces that stormed the airport were from the US Army. Am I wrong? I was looking at the camouflage pattern they were using and I could have sworn that it was the one that the US Army wears. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.205.111 (talk) 04:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

they were marines Strobes13 (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

A note "Claire goes with WilPharma worker Frederic Downing to the WilPharma research facility for more vaccine." , she was invites for coffee and nothing related to the airport accident. Someone fix that. "She is left alone in the room as Downing heads for the sample." What sample, who even wrote this bs? It was stated that he went to check 'the server'.

Full protection

I have fully protected this article for 48 hours to stop the back-and-forth reversion that is going on here. Hopefully the editors involved can work it out on the talk page during that time.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 04:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

How Could It Be

It's Already Released In IRAQ ????? How This Could Be ? I Bought It and watched it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.142.59.36 (talk) 10:55, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

• • Alot of movies and games and such bought in the Middle-East are pirated. Half the time the stuff doesnt even work. One of my friends from Pakistan had a lot of it and most of it didnt work when we tried it. Some did however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.186.190.52 (talk) 02:38, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

With The Special Features ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.142.59.36 (talk) 09:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

The fact of the matter is that sometimes the guys who pirate these movies pay off an inside man to get either a finished copy or they put a camera in front of a private viewing. The reason that the DVDs don't work most of the time is due to shoddy burning or poor quality discs/machines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.205.111 (talk) 03:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Angela Miller CGI model

Did anyone else notice Angela very closely resembles Tricia Helfer's of Battlestar Galactica fame? It's really too close to be a coincidence. I did a quick google search but couldn't find anything.TFJazz (talk) 03:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Reception

come on now... i know there are more critics than that. please flesh out the scores. ign, metacritic, rotten tomatoes... those are some of critics i would like to see... —Preceding unsigned comment added by God Of Irony2012 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Is this the continuance of RE Extinction?

Is this the continuance of RE Extinction? Or is the Timeline somewhere between The 2nd Movie and the 3rd? Or is this Movie totally isolated of the Real-Person-Movies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.193.26.49 (talk) 21:29, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

It's the timeline of the ACTUAL games like the damn intro says.--Jakezing (Your King (talk) 18:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Budget

Any real news on the budget? Most sources I have read call it a low budget production, yet this article claims $70 million. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.241.215 (talk) 06:59, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Antialiasing

Am I the only one that is noticing this .. but did they forget to turn on antialiasing when rendering this movie.. It's jag city ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.12.51 (talk) 18:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Eeeeh... no... I actually watched the DVD on both my 1680X1050 PC monitor and my SD TV set, and I can assure you there is no aliasing whatsoever. What version of the film did you watch, DVD or Blu-Ray? On what type of display? --142.213.254.2 (talk) 16:14, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikiproject Video Games assessment

Overall it's a good start to the article. However, in assessing I have to point out the flaws:

• The plot is very long. WP:PLOTSUM states that most plots should be between 400-700 words. Currently it's 1,117 words
• The three paragraphs in the Release section can be combined given that they're so small
• Same deal with the two paragraphs in the Mobile game section
• The citations should be updated with {{Cite web}}
• Everything but the lead, Plot and Cast section need overall expansion

The good news is that this article is headed in the right direction. It just needs some TLC. --Teancum (talk) 13:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
