Resident Evil 5 - Jill, could you really be dead?
RikkuInTheMiddle | 3:16 AM on 11.28.2008 13 comments


The last Tokio Game Show gave us some good news and a really disturbing image that is still shocking all the fans of RE series. In the Alternate trailer (known as Play God), we can see just for a short time a tombstone:



There is no place for a missunderstanding. It clearly says Jill Valentine 1974 - 2006. It could possibly be true? Could be Capcom so naif to think that fans will forgive them for killing the most beloved character among all the saga?

I think that this is just a trick for making us fans to argue to the infinite about Jill's true fate. Jill is still alive in Resident Evil 5, but she's just taking a bath! In otherwords, she is the girl in the tube showed in the first vids of the game.



Fans always thought that girl was Jill (she look-a-like a lot), but Takeuchi only confirms the presence of Sherry Birkin, so like that was the only image of a female character that we got, we asume that was Sherry.

But then, Famitsu published more info and some screenshots that shows us another girl, with long blonde hair, that doesn't seem to fit with our "girl in the tube". So... that girl in the red dress must be Sherry.



Well then, who is the other girl?

The last trailers shows us another character, a masked one that wears a cloak and seems to protect Dr. Excella Gione, of Tricell (the opposite corporation to Umbrella, and to Wesker, I supose). She (at least looks like she had a breast) can infect by touching her victims, so she is infected too with some sort of hybrid virus of Las Plagas and the T-Virus. So we can argue that the girl in the tube (who is inside there because of her infection) is the Bird-like masked woman of the vids... And by simple deduction, Jill is the Bird-like woman.

So, now we got 2 options, and none of them is good: or Jill is definitively dead or she have become an infected enemy for Chris to kill.

We will have to wait until February to reveal the truth of this X-File... The Truth is still Outhere

If you accept her as being dead, then if she doesn't return in 5, you won't be disappointed.

She's the director's favorite character though, so time will tell.

I think that killing Jill is like killing Wesker: she's an essential part of the series! And Takeuchi has said a lot of times that RE5 is the last chapter of the saga... So if we believe him, there will be no more sequels.

I think that Takeuchi just got a strange sense of humour, or he really loves a lot making "Viral marketing" LOL!

I always wanted to see Jill with current gen visuals...

I don't even care if she dies.....

I just want to shoot people in the face and then watch their head explode.

@Rikkuinthemiddle

no matter what any one says, there will be a RE6. Producers don't mean shit in the long run, they don't call the BIG shots, if capcom wants it (and lord knows they will) it will be made.

Spoilers, thanks for them.

Joke aside, I have been trying to avoid watching trailers for Resident Evil 5 and any screenshots or information. I guess I should learn not to read stuff. Someone else spoiled it before when it first came out. Still haven't watched this new trailer for myself.

The Resident Evil remake on gamecube looks pretty good. About as good as I care for games to look.

Or the person in the tube could just be another random person in the game who hasn't been mentioned yet. To conclude that is has to be Jill from a few trailers and a quote from the creator is madness

You're lucky!

I read somewhere that after RE5, Takeuchi and his team are preparing a "big shot"... and maybe it's related with a next-gen remake of Resident Evil 2... So, we can say that it will be a RE after RE5 but it won't be a sequel in fact, so Takeuchi didn't lie at all.

@Randowbullseye: Sorry... It comes in my nature, I am a natural born spoilerer...

I'm think your right about Jill coming back from the dead as a Wesker/Alice-style super-powered infected.

But is she the girl in mask? God, I hope not. Along with the dirtbike zombies, the masked girls are the two aspects of RE5 I dislike the most.

I think as RandomBullsEye:

Watching all the videos, screenshots and info will do no good to you. You will know how the 50% of the games is before playing it and it wont be as awesome as it is if you only read the review for the punctuation and watch those photos to know if it is worth the money.

Thats my point of view ;)

Yes I have that game, it was in fact the first 15+ rated game I ever purchased, and it does indeed look sweet even today. But I think we can consider that game last-gen by now.

By the way, I screamed out loud when those dogs jumped through the windows...

Shes a Bird Woman. Greeeat. I read about it, and she is under control of the bad guys. I hate Capcom now. This is just an unwelcome twist.
