    Ashley the blond supposed to be the teenage daughter of the literal in universe US President. In the earlier iteration she has larger eyes and do look a bit younger. Ashley is supposed to be damsel in distress and the whole game is escort mission. They just hired 28 something hot model and facescanned her. In the remake Ashley is not as dopey/damsely and people are some reason up in arms.

    Then again, this is REsident Evil - one of the horniest franchise in gayming. Nobody really talk about the lore (writing quality and lore is honestly baffling). RE fanbase like moment to moment survival horror and inbetween games they literally just horny arguing about which character they like to fuck or get fucked by and make weird fanon about character relationships.

      :I-was-saying:

      But mostly because I read the books as a kid and revisiting them now, they're surprisingly good. Caliban Cove is easily the best one, because it's a standalone not based on anything, so the writer just got to go nuts with it and we get shit like

      spoiler

      Sea leviathans, Umbrella researchers gone postal, and trained zombie machine gun teams.

      Also in between the mansion incident and the raccoon city outbreak, Barry canonically kills another S.T.A.R.S agent :officer-down:

      Eh, lore and writing is actually one of the more interesting parts of the franchise IMO. It's less about zambies and more about mutations, mysteries and conspiracies, all of vastly different types which can somehow coexist in the world (with the virology in the games being more or less magic).

      It's why it's really jarring to think RE1, RE4 and RE7 are all part of the same universe.
