With the Resident Evil 3 remake demo out now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, many players finding themselves taken aback by an unexpected cameo.
Right at the start of the demo, as soon as you emerge from the derelict subway train, you can find a poster featuring Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. It reads, "Think about the 21st century", "Will robots surpass humanity?" "Science Forum 24-25 October 1998" "Discussion between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily".
You can see a larger version of the poster after the jump!
That's right; Dr. Light and Dr. Wily exist in this new, alternate Resident Evil universe. In light of the zombie outbreak, however, it's hard to say whether or not they'll be able to hold this historic robotics conference.
I pray for their safety as well. Then again... a zombie Light and Wily might be interesting to see?
That's really unexpected but interesting at the same time. I wonder what made them want to add that in? Also, did anything actually happen in the Mega Man world in 1998? Seems kind of random but then I'm not really sure if it's referencing something else or not. Either ways, that's pretty neat. I wonder if they'll add more stuff like that in the main game.
ReplyDeleteIt's just an easter egg featuring one of their fellow properties dude.
DeleteYou must be fun at parties, Anon.
DeleteEh? Not really sure what you guys are on, lol. It was a genuine question. I have nothing against it. I was also trying to see if anything significant happened on that date, I take it by your answers that it didn't. It's not an issue, lol.
DeleteThe classic Megaman timeline is 20xx so only thing I get with the year 1998 is that Wily and Light are still on their infancy with robot development hence the question on the poster.
DeleteWasn't MegaMan 8 released in 1998?
DeleteThat is the most handsome, George Clooney-lookin Thomas Light I've ever seen.

DeleteThis means that Megaman and Resident Evil are in the same universe?? Like Street Fighter and Final Fight??
ReplyDeleteIf anything Mega Man is in the same universe as Street Fighter due to the many more references.
DeleteAlso MMxSF is actually an officially licensed Capcom game don't forget that. But it's just an easter egg in this case I think.

ReplyDeleteOr more probably is just a cameo.
As much as I dislike this game, it's always good to see a Mega Man easter egg.
ReplyDeletealso bad box art megaman!

Probably an Easter egg akin to the dead rising series with protoman and the mmx armor, I do like that this is the first time we have seen a realistic looking light and wily (beyond the odd comment of wily being based on Albert Einstein and light based on santa)
ReplyDeleteZombie outbreak confirmed to be Roboenza. :P
