Resident Evil 5 honors a tragic loss photo

Because we don't want people BAAAAWING about spoilers, we have obscured the real name on this tombstone. However, the moniker on that stone is one that many have already predicted, so don't expect too much of a shock if you choose to hit up the gallery and look at the full pic.

Yes, this Famitsu ad image confirms something we'd already assumed -- a certain Resident Evil character is pushing up the daisies. I could make some wonderful jokes relating to this person's death, but I don't want people to whine at me. This is what the Harry Potter generation has done, making an obsession with spoilers become fashionable. I hope J.K Rowling is proud of herself.

Jill Sandwich.

If it is in the ad...is it really a spoiler?

Dammit Barry you weren't supposed to take it literally! This was actually revealed in an extended Japanese trailer a while back although I don't think she's really dead, since she is one of Resi's biggest characters. It could be a cover ala Ada in Resi 4.

I'm pretty sure CAPCOM is going to use some stupid plot device to the extent of "o hey I faked my death to protect so and so", ala Metal Gear Solid 4 and the whole Col. and Rose situation.

If the story of the entire Resident Evil series was not so laughbly bad and it's horror scary factor that is not even at the level of bad movies like Jason-x I might care.


Also since this was the character 50% responsble for the horrible "You was almost a jill sandwitch line: I could care even less.


Besdies I wanted to kill her myself after pushing her around for like 2 horrible games that controled as bad as the tanks in combat for the atari 2600. She walked and ran slower than that bitch from lifeline with out the microphone to scream inults at her, So I hope she dies in the most painful way possible.


This has made my day.

Yeah, Jill was the master of unlocking, a bit dizzy but much better in RE3. We should be happy that she gave her life fighting the zombie cause.

If there's still one strength the series has, its introducing new characters and making them grow on you. There's more to come yet.

I wonder if we'll find out what happens to her in 5? Or hell, maybe she was in the helicopter that almost rescued Leon in 4?

Every character, script and voice actor in the entire series is a joke and it is laughable that is why I keep playing the things. It's like a comedy there so horrible I love to get a group around the game and laugh at them the entire time.

Even in japanese with the japanese voice actors it is still pretty bad with out the bad english translation. Does capcom think this will be there deep shocking drama moment and people will care about one of these characters?

I hope the grave scene is filled with bad acting and fake crying.

Considering that this is both in the advertisements, doesn't it count as part of the story's basis, rather than a spoiler? She died, and now you get to find out how it supposedly happened, if it's really the case, and how it affects the story.

There's a grammar error in the first sentence - it appears to be missing a 'want'.

I kinda new the moment I saw the tombstone, but it still depressed me :( She survived raccoon city, and a brush with the nemesis, but still died? lame. She was one of the most popular and survivable RE characters and she's the one that gets offed? super lame.

I always hoped for another RE with Chris/Jill. It woulda been a nice close to the series.

I don't think she's dead. I'm betting on her feigning death and being undercover, perhaps in RE5. I doubt they would get rid of her.

I believe Jill and Chris teamed up again in Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles in a side story.

She isn't really dead. She's actually that masked... thing in the RE5 trailer where it revealed Wesker./guess

Personally I don't think this game looks all that great. I played the demo and it just seems to be way too much of the same Resident Evil 4 gameplay. I enjoyed 4 but I'm not too fond of the third person, over the shoulder, gameplay. BUT, of course I say that now, but when this game comes out I'll probably pick it up, its inevitable.

Jill is not dead. That would be a bad move on the dev's part.

First things first. Cube is an asshole people like him should be taken out Brad Vickers style. He is one of those people that just likes to talk trash about something that everyone else likes because they need the attention.

Now, I think this is BS. Unless they have a cut scene showing her dying then I'm not going to believe it. Wesker needs to break her neck for me to accept this. I do wonder if this might be the result of their special mission in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I really need to get that game.
