Well, we can all guess what I really want. But more realistically speaking, I think it would be cool to see more of Jake and Sherry because I liked their dynamic a lot in RE6 and I think there's a lot of potential there for character growth. Jake, to me, is kind of like the Han Solo of the series (albeit significantly less attractive!), and I'd enjoy seeing the evolution of his character. I'd also really, really like to see Chris and Jill having their own campaign. I know that's not going to happen since Chris has gotten two main games in a row at this point, but despite them having a partnership, we have very rarely gotten to see it. When they're in the same game together, they're usually saving each other, not working side by side. That's why I enjoy Lost in Nightmares so much, because they're just right together in a way I don't think Chris was with Sheva or Piers. I will grant that we had their little mission in The Umbrella Chronicles, but it seemed kind of forgettable to me.

I acknowledged exactly that in the following sentence. However, it's still something I would personally enjoy seeing so long as Jill were there, too.

I'd also really, really like to see Chris and Jill having their own campaign. Chris shouldn't be in re7 Hes been in the past 2 main games so i think he needs a break and maybe bring someone else back I agree with Zombieali. Its ok if fans of Chris would love to see him return but me personally I think Chris is a bit overused. He is in far to many titles as it is, not to mention featured in 2 main numbered entries back to back (RE5 and RE6), even side games of Capcom like Marvel vs Capcom 3. I think its time to give him a rest for this time around. I'm a huge fan of Leon for instance and even I think he needs a break as well, second only to Chris he gets so much exposure as well with his recent movie Damnation and staring role in RE6, I would love to see him in a Revelations 3 however teamed up with Jill. I have always been eager to see the two teamup since they are such important characters in the Resident Evil verse and yet have never met in a game. Now on the the topic at hand, my ideas for RE7 are, 1.3 huge areas being featured in the game akin to RE4 with its village,castle, and island, this time for RE7 I would like to see one area as a dark and dank city full of narrow alleyways you must traverse and cramped stores you must go into to find supplies only to have zombies waiting for you, the second area should be a huge gothic castle complete with many challenging puzzles and trap, and the third area should be a woods area that features stuff like abandoned cottages,old victorian houses, and a creepy hospital. 2.I think the over the shoulder gameplay should stay while they put more emphasis on the having zombies and enemies coming at you from all angles at a fast paced, maybe add some super zombies similar to the Crimson heads that can give you a hard time WITHOUT having to use freaken guns. 3.Some new scary BOWs are needed, no las plagas or things mutated from the las plagas or whatever, I want them to give us some creepy and powerful BOWs like the Bandersnatch from Code Veronica or the Pluto monster from Dead Aim. 4.As I said earlier some of the more overused character need a break this time around, instead they should bring back characters we have not seen in a while like they did with Barry in Revelations. I think Rebecca,Carlos, and Billy need to return and star this time around along with 1 other completely new character.

What about Leon? I hope at least he will appear as a playable character in RE7.

Ahhhh i would love to see Wesker, again as the top evil boss.
Just think of it this way : Leon, Chris, Jake & Barry vs Albert Wesker.
- Wesker : "Your attacks are futile".
- Chris : "It's over psyco".
- Leon : "there is no escape this time".
- Wesker : *Ironic Laugh* hmhmhmhmhmhmh.
They'd shoot bullets to Wesker, and the almighty would not even move (only a glimpse of his shadow behind him moves now)
Yes, that's what i'm talking about. Go all out.

The people who I think deserve to be in resident evil 7 are
Rebecca because she's only been in 3 games but Resident evil 5 she isn't in campaign and isn't based around her and I think she deserves another outcome and what she did after raccoon City
Claire because she's been in a few games but only 2 evolved around her and we haven't seen much about her and I'd like to see a chris and claire reunion
Leon I don't particularly like leon but others do and he's appeared 3 times and this isn't enough chris was a good character until he got reused for RE6 which I dislike that game so much
Jill she is a very liked character yes she has been used like Chris but not so much RE1 RE3 REV RE5 everyone loves abit of jill even her enemie side if jill came back with blonde hair that would be awsome and a nice little story would be nice what she did after Africa
Wesker is a 50/50 likeable character but I now love him from REV2 because he's just amazing he was in RE5 and a part of me wants him to be good like in the films RE: Retribution but I doubt anyone would like that
Jake is a new character from RE6 and a side story would be great what he did before RE6 but also seeing him unite with wesker would be nice and if he ever seen sherry again
Sherry has a whole new game a head of her she has a lot more to tell after the events of RE6 as we see her on the plane but going to where America ? A new assignment ?

If were up to me, I would bring the RE6 cast happyly!.
4º Campaigns: - Chris and Jill, after an attack to the BSAA founders, the couple had to fight hardly to survive and try to warn the other BSAA founders from the inminen threat. (Prologue and last campaign). - Sherry and Leon, together go researching incidents related with the family organisation, leading to a deeper conspiracy that they didn't expected. - Jake and character, fighting as mercenary with her partner and contractor, a girl of the guerrilla who search revenge, the duo will cross the battlefield to try win the conflict, in the path, they will discover new BOWs and threat, whose origins are from the the own Albert Wesker's old laboratories, where Jake will discover more about the past of his dead father. - Piers and Rebecca joined when a BSAA team attacked a B.O.W.s factory, Rebecca, despite not being a soldier, went with team to provide their knowledges as virologist and treat the soldier Nivans, whose infection still represent a threat. The two partners, with bearing with the distrust of the other team members, will have to survive to the dangers of the cold mountain.
At the end, the 4 ones will collide into the ending climax.
Big areas: The locations would be mainly big areas, not sand boxes, but yes big maps with their multiples content, where player can have their "rollercoaster" walkthrough for the main story if they want, but also can have a high number of optionals and secondary missions and locations to explore, Their completion may lead to different changes in the story development. Each location, also will have their kind of "base" where the player can buy items, improve the weapons, chat with other characters, upgrade the defenses of the whole bases, etc.
The progress of the campaigns could go by Acts, being each Act a new area. According the campaigns progress, they may join on a same location and meet with other characters, but keeping at the same time, parts dedicated for each campaign in particular. The goal is not an open world, but a world with more contents and variety. (not just fights and combats, also puzzles games, stealth, defenses, vehicles, secrets treasures, etc...).
For the extra modes: - Mercenaries should come back. - Raid mode should come back. (And every 5 short levels, leave the 6 one to be a big long level, perhaps preparing it to be played by 6 players? with better rewards and loot if they play together than if they play alone). - Predator mode should come back. (And allow each player to choose also their own predator between some popular monsters from the franchise, each one with their own skills and attacks, all different, but all dangerous).
Live updates: After the game release, leaving a team of developers to go solving problems like exploits and such, and at the same time, who goes creating more content with through the time, for exmaple, 1 new multiplayer map every month, new costumes on the digital store every month, 1 new story chapter every 4-6 months. etc... It felt so good in RE:Rev2 when you open the game and find a new chapter there...

I'd like to see counter attacks be featured in Resident Evil 7. For me, counters weren't a chore; they were a skill, a unique skill that took a hell of a long time to master, but gave you that cutting edge and makes you feel like a professional killer.
I would've also liked to see Simmons back, but, uh... yeah. For who Simmons is, I think he was killed off too quick. He could have had a whole story ahead of him, but alas, his reign had to end in RE6, which is a damn shame.

This would be so ridiculously cool I'd barely be able to handle it. We never got to see Leon interacting with him, watching Jake reacting to him has so much potential for epicness, and with Barry showing his face again in the series, I'm sure he'd have something memorably cheesy for the occasion. My only reservation is that Wesker really does belong in the background, manipulating things from the shadows. Part of why he's so cool to me is that he was the puppet master for so much that happened and you don't realize it at all until much later (like him not even being in the main game part of RE4, so if you don't play the rest of it you completely miss him). When Code Veronica first came out, the fact he was still alive probably blew a ton of minds. So it's kind of a conflicting feeling for me because much as I love seeing him, I think he functions best when he's smirking to himself in a dimly lit room watching his plans unfold in between conducting virology research (the fact that he's a brilliant scientist is, I think, something often downplayed, probably because watching him being a badass is a lot more riveting than watching him sitting in front of a computer for hours slowly analyzing data and jotting down notes). The scene you suggest has the potential to be legendary, though!

Oh, oh, I have an idea.
It'll be a sidescrolling beat-em up game. You play as Chris and you'll have to escape this hellhole he somehow found himself in. Standing in his way is a race of boulder people (boulders with legs and on later stages arms, multiple even). With no guns available he'll have to resort to his humongous man arms to punch them untill they shatter. At the end of his journey he will have to fight the leader of the bouldermen- an easter island head, and as a shocking twist, the head has blond hair and sunglasses. Throughout his adventure Chris will throw his trademark oneliners on every opportunity (using Roger Craig Smiths voice of course), and maybe come up with some new one while he's at it.

The scene you suggest has the potential to be legendary, though! Hhahaha nice points in there Warning : WESKER TAKEOVER THREAD IMMINENT. lel xD. Ofcourse he'll be lurking in shadows all the time ('till final battle). He is the mastermind behind the RE7 plot. I have a few ideas about Wesker's comeback tho. AND HERE WE GO. 1) He didn't die from those double RPGs. The lava covered him up for a brief period, allowing the "good team" to escape with the choppa. 2) As i recall, Alex was talking about cloning in REV2, right? Perhaps back in RE5, that moment when Wesker gets overdosed and says "This isn't over Chris" and jumps away to the plane, he was replaced by a clone, rendering Wesker to a safe point, allowing him to recover from the overdose. For me Wesker doesn't loose control, he stays cool all the time. Even when he gets mad he only takes off the glasses and flashes the cat eyes really bright and STILL stays cool. He'd never taken the Uroboros bond and lose all his coolnes and agility, just for extra strength. He has proven before that Agility is he's prime combat weapon (By easily beating the shit out of Chris & Jill back in Lost Nightmares). To recap : (And some self advertising here ) Yes, the second time from 0:23 to 0:35 play it on 0.5 speed. 3) Last but not least somehow Alex was able to recover a part from Wesker's body, mainly the head, allowing her to transform Wesker's memories and superior DNA to a clone. Now i have an idea about that epic boss battle. The mastermind is always watching over through security cams, controlling corrupted special agents, making experiments, enhancing he's abilities even further, hell even developing a new virus (why the hell not he's a scientist). etc... Through some time (he is very patient) he was able to capture Barry's daughter, Moira, who has been used for further experiments (held in a tank like Ashley in RE4). Now i'm gonna skip the plot details and leave those to you guys, but i won't jump straight to the final battle. This is like the "7 minutes" fight. So all the guys Leon, Chris, Jake & Barry are in the big ass mansion once again (the stage somehow links them back to the original mansion) (Nostalgia!) Everybody is pointing guns out, back to back forming a circle, surprisingly really confident that Wesker can't harm them. Tada! Wesker is there in top of the stairs, standing confident. He tells them, "Oh that's quite a squad you got there, almost, as my STARS team. Hmph." Chris : "Your EX STARS team?!" Jake : *Impatiently* "Father? Is...is that you?" Wesker : "Jake, you are a mistake i made a long time ago". Jake : (Being young and proud) *Yells* "YOU SON OF A BI..". Chris : *Interrupts Jake* "Enough! Today is the day you die Wesker, for EVERYTHING you did". Wesker : "What's all the rush? I have a surprise for my old friend Barry." Some "special agent" (this might be Krauser or Piers corrupted) *Reveals Moira*. Barry : *Heavy breathing* "Hold on there baby girl, dad's here". Wesker : *Iconic Laugh* hmhmhmhmhmh "Not for long, no". Leon : "Enough talk, come down here and face us. You COWARD!" Wesker : *Comes down from stairs slowly* "We never had the pleasure Leon, did we?" *Everybody is pointing handguns to Wesker* *Piers, with a tear in he's eye, seeing what he's father have become, takes the first shot* *Wesker doesn't even dodge. I mean he dodges but so fast that now only he's shadow behind him shows the dodging animation while approaches slowly towards the team* *Bang, boom, bang, boom Wesker is close enough to launch he's agile attacks* *Wesker fights with 4 of them the same time, appearing 4 times in the same time.* (We never had the chance to see Wesker go all out. Double fighting him was only but a mere challange for he's speed) Now imagine the cutscene by yourself > AAAAAnd seeing everybody on the ground Wesker says : "Poor performance indeed" *Iconic laugh* hhmhmhmhmhm *Teleports back to the top stairs and leaves with Moira" going back to he's plans. *Everyone has the eyes of shame as they look to each other while on the floor* The story still continues, as the plot thickens.... Here is the alternate "death of Chris" scenario from me. *Now everybody is down to the ground but Chris.* Wesker especially hit him less so he would stand. Wesker : "Ahhh Chris, how do you feel now? Weak? You legs shaking? Your eyes blured? Your friends can't help you? Hmhmhmhmhmh I call this, REVENGE!* *Eyes glowing very bright* This scene happens @ 2:05. After that. Yes. Chris dies. Wesker cuts through him with he's arm. AAAAAnd seeing everybody on the ground Wesker says : "Poor performance indeed" *Iconic laugh* hhmhmhmhmhm *Teleports back to the top stairs and leaves with Moira" going back to he's plans. Alternate alternate saving Chris' ass this time. (Nah he is not worthy all these years with Jill and he's balls are not working cuz of steroids rofl ) While Rebecca (and someone else) working in the background (the other part of campaign just like RE6 selective campaigns.), she manages to free Moira in the background while Wesker is busy kicking ass. *The alarm kicks in* *Wesker stops after he was about to cut through Chris and teleports back to the top of stairs, telling (Krauser or Corrupted Piers) to deal with Becca, and leaves to he's plans. This was it for the "7 Minute" fight. For the final fight, i have some interesting ideas while still developing other ideas (It has to come to a grand finale right?). Here is a sneak preview for the final fight : Full 8vs1 on Wesker. Wesker is barely able to keep up, since 1 shadow = 2 persons (as long as he keeps up the weaker he becomes) *Starts dripping blood from he's nose*...... That's it for now. What do you think? Are you following me? Cuz i ain't gonna repeat all this shit again lel xD

Chris : "I've had enough of your bullshit! " *shoots his Assault Rifle furiously Leon : "Rain or shine,you're going down" * shoots his Wing Shooter by dual wielding it Wesker : "Your feeble attempts only delay the inevitable" *dodges ALL of those bullets,then chokes Leon and Chris. So what will happen next ?

There's a video on YouTube that points out he was basically splashing around in the lava like he was in a hot tub. There's a file in the RE remaster called "BODY DISPOSAL" which states "We have new information regarding those 'beings.' They may appear to be dead but in fact they are able to come back to life. However, there are ways to prevent them from becoming active again. Currently there are two known methods to cease their resurrection. 1. INCINERATION 2. DESTRUCTION OF THE HEAD" I suspect this directly ties in with how RE5 ended, and much as the fan theories about him ducking, etc. hold an appeal, I personally reject that interpretation for how Wesker could be brought back. However, as you stated in part 2, what happened with the character in RE5 was immensely out of character. The idea that he'd risk himself with Uroboros, and especially that he'd go crazy with anger, don't fit his established traits at all. This is a man who's cool-headed, and first and foremost a thinker. He has experience with his plans being foiled. When this happens, he doesn't throw a temper tantrum. He adapts and thinks his way through rationally. While it's true I'm an adherent to clone theory, my view is a bit different from yours. My belief is that Wesker had decided to fake his death again. He's a long term kind of planner so it would work just fine for him to establish the clone with Tricell. After all, it would be more believable if RE5!Wesker had been around for awhile rather than suddenly popping up and then dying. The scars can be explained in several ways, but I think they fit best as being self-inflicted. Say this clone really wants to be the real Wesker. After all, he'd have been "raised" knowing he was inferior (I mean, we know what kind of attitude Wesker would have had with him), and this led to a lot of hatred of himself, so he was already mentally unstable. The clone was an imperfect copy which led to the need for the regular injections of PG67A/W to keep Progenitor functioning the way it should. In my understanding of Wesker's bond with the virus, his aging is severely slowed if not stopped by the regenerative effects of the virus (which we saw evidence of in the series right up until RE5 when bam! he's grandpa now, and in the history of the flower it allowed an ancient king to live for hundreds of years according to legend). Either the clone appears aged because of his failure to completely bond with the virus or else Wesker wanted everyone to believe that's how he now looked for an extra level of subterfuge. At some point, RE5!Wesker meets with Spencer and the whole thing with Jill happens. Showing his fixation on Wesker and Wesker's life, he chooses to kill Spencer in the same manner the Tyrant "killed" Wesker. This would also explain RE5!Wesker's irritation when he says "Are you saying I was manufactured?" because that really pisses him off since in his case it's true being a test tube baby, and thus the comment was definitely the worst thing someone could say to him to remind him of his perceived inferiority to the original. Wesker, now alerted that Chris was on RE5!Wesker's trail, could then fine tune the plan, which is now going even better than he'd hoped. Not only can he experiment on Uroboros with the clone (which he wouldn't risk putting in his own precious body without first testing thoroughly, and what better way to test it than on the physically closest specimen possible), but now he can convince the most annoyingly persistent opponent that he's dead again because after what happened he knows Chris likely isn't going to stop looking for him (though Chris starts out thinking Wesker is dead again, there's no way he'd let go of Jill that easily, and it's not like he ever found their bodies). However, knowing that RE5!Wesker is not as clever or experienced as himself, he gives RE5!Wesker his STARS gun so that it will be more believably him and also because seeing the samurai edge would certainly anger Chris and hopefully distract him from any oddities on RE5!Wesker's part. RE5!Wesker directs his anger toward Chris, thinking that if he can kill him then he'll have proven himself better than the original Wesker who has failed so many times to do so, explaining why he is so illogically consumed with the need to kill Chris that he screws everything else up. Despite this and his superpowers, RE5!Wesker has never fought Chris before and thus is not familiar with his fighting style, which is why even though RE5!Wesker is much stronger and faster he fails to kill Chris as well, and is later crippled with rage at himself and Chris and Wesker. In his madness, he puts into motion the "global saturation" plan. Whether or not Wesker had any intention of doing the global saturation thing or not, RE5!Wesker at this point is not checking in with Wesker and is doing this of his own volition as a last ditch effort to prove his superiority to himself (as another "you couldn't do this but I could" plot). His rage and stupidity end up being his downfall, and thus while likely not Wesker's original plan to kill the clone since he couldn't have foreseen all the crazy that happened, it suited his purposes just as well. Perhaps after the incident he quietly sent some people to the volcano to grab what was left of RE5!Wesker and run some experiments on it. Haha, I know someone who would lose his mind if Chris were killed. I do think it would be anticlimactic for a massive battle like that only to end with no one dying, but I have to admit I'm attached to Chris, too. Deep down I think it would be immensely cool to, as the song says, "let the bad guy win every once in awhile" so we could explore the consequences and see what would happen in that world, but I'm aware that that's never going to happen. But having Wesker kind of pop in and kick ass and then go back to what he was doing (like in Code Veronica), would be super cool, and it could be a real tease for him to smirk at us again and dive back into the shadows while our intrepid heroes scramble to deal with everything else going on (like what's left of Neo-Umbrella or other unknown organizations). As technology advances, they can show off more and more of his transhuman abilities, and it would be very exciting. The important part would be for them to actually manage to write it correctly.

Wesker, now alerted that Chris was on RE5!Wesker's trail, could then fine tune the plan, which is now going even better than he'd hoped. Not only can he experiment on Uroboros with the clone (which he wouldn't risk putting in his own precious body without first testing thoroughly, and what better way to test it than on the physically closest specimen possible), but now he can convince the most annoyingly persistent opponent that he's dead again because after what happened he knows Chris likely isn't going to stop looking for him (though Chris starts out thinking Wesker is dead again, there's no way he'd let go of Jill that easily, and it's not like he ever found their bodies). However, knowing that RE5!Wesker is not as clever or experienced as himself, he gives RE5!Wesker his STARS gun so that it will be more believably him and also because seeing the samurai edge would certainly anger Chris and hopefully distract him from any oddities on RE5!Wesker's part. RE5!Wesker directs his anger toward Chris, thinking that if he can kill him then he'll have proven himself better than the original Wesker who has failed so many times to do so, explaining why he is so illogically consumed with the need to kill Chris that he screws everything else up. Despite this and his superpowers, RE5!Wesker has never fought Chris before and thus is not familiar with his fighting style, which is why even though RE5!Wesker is much stronger and faster he fails to kill Chris as well, and is later crippled with rage at himself and Chris and Wesker. In his madness, he puts into motion the "global saturation" plan. Whether or not Wesker had any intention of doing the global saturation thing or not, RE5!Wesker at this point is not checking in with Wesker and is doing this of his own volition as a last ditch effort to prove his superiority to himself (as another "you couldn't do this but I could" plot). His rage and stupidity end up being his downfall, and thus while likely not Wesker's original plan to kill the clone since he couldn't have foreseen all the crazy that happened, it suited his purposes just as well. Perhaps after the incident he quietly sent some people to the volcano to grab what was left of RE5!Wesker and run some experiments on it. Haha, I know someone who would lose his mind if Chris were killed. I do think it would be anticlimactic for a massive battle like that only to end with no one dying, but I have to admit I'm attached to Chris, too. Deep down I think it would be immensely cool to, as the song says, "let the bad guy win every once in awhile" so we could explore the consequences and see what would happen in that world, but I'm aware that that's never going to happen. But having Wesker kind of pop in and kick ass and then go back to what he was doing (like in Code Veronica), would be super cool, and it could be a real tease for him to smirk at us again and dive back into the shadows while our intrepid heroes scramble to deal with everything else going on (like what's left of Neo-Umbrella or other unknown organizations). As technology advances, they can show off more and more of his transhuman abilities, and it would be very exciting. The important part would be for them to actually manage to write it correctly. That's a pretty good theory. The mastermind always has a backup plan. Hmm i would love to see the young (un-aged) Wesker in fight in RE7. Chris be like : "Hm? You haven't aged a bit? WHAT THE HELL WESKER?!" And yes i would love to see a good guy die. Let's see how the audience reacts.
