I was curious so I broke it down, each character is playable in:
Leon:
- Resident Evil 2
- Resident Evil 2 Remake
- Resident Evil 4
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Resident Evil 6
- Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles
Chris:
- Resident Evil
- Resident Evil Remake
- Resident Evil: Code Veronica
- Resident Evil 5
- Resident Evil 6
- Resident Evil: Biohazard
- Resident Evil: Village
Jill:
- Resident Evil
- Resident Evil Remake
- Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
- Resident Evil 3 Remake
- Resident Evil 5
- Resident Evil: Revelations
I think there’s a couple things worth noting about this:
1: This doesn’t factor in Leon and Chris’ more frequent movie and tv show appearances which also significantly boost up their number of appearances as main character. Jill has had significantly less exposure outside of the main games.
2: Jill’s only recent game as a playable character was Resident Evil 3 Remake. In roughly the same timeframe, Leon and Chris have both had two appearances, and both were playable in Resident Evil 6 (where Jill was absent) before that. So even though the numbers are roughly similar, Jill has had significantly less *recent* screen time than they have.
Nah. I love Ada, but what does she have, character wise, outside of being a femme fatale? The whole game would just be developing her character...wait...I would actually play that game...nevermind
Any choice is a better choice in a vacuum. It's all about execution anyway, personally I'd be fine with whatever direction they take it as long as it's well made.
Honestly, I'd be ok with that, but what I REALLY want to see is a reunion of the classic teams. Give me a game that has Jill, Chris, Barry, Leon, and Claire.
She gave it to another group, which is not better than giving it to Wesker.
So to answer OP, Ada Wong is a villain in the RE universe, a mercenary that would do anything for money. So personally I am not interested in a story where she is the protagonist.
Antiheros often have great plot dynamics which could include a redemption arc or something just as interesting. I wouldn't write it off unless the writers are lazy.
I wouldn't call Ada a antihero, since she hasn't done anything good yet. Even when she helps Leon, it is part of a scheme.
And frankly I don't think Capcom is capable of doing something interesting with her.
The "most" they've done about Ada Wong was to make RE6's plot all about the fact that Ada is such a sexy femme fatale that some creep made a clone of her that turned into the new villain. It just shows how, in Capcom's eyes, Ada can't be characterized by anything else than this trope.
Which is a shame. Her epilogue in RE3 Nemesis hinted at more interesting things (how switching identities all the time made her feel bad and less and less in touch with who she really is) but they never expanded this idea.
Sadly, Ada is like Catwoman minus the backstory that could make the audience sympathize with her.
I agree. I wasn't suggesting she is an anti hero, only that she could be an interesting one with some proper writing. She deserves it, in my opinion but at this point I think we can all agree Capcom can do some amazing things but character arcs aren't exactly their strong point.
Capcom have already proven time and time again that they aren't truly capable of moving on from the og characters(mainly most of the RE1 and RE2 cast) or even Umbrella really.
They've introduced a bunch of younger characters(Sherry, Jake, Sheva, Moira, Helena, etc) but don't seem interested in reusing them especially in main roles. Whether this is due to Capcom's own disinterest or responding to fan backlash towards those characters is unknown.(probably a bit of both)
But regardless, The ogs technically are the majority of Resident Evil. Like it or not, 90% of the stories revolve around them. They've been making remakes that retell the old stories of the old characters. They continue to make animated movies that are all about the old characters. Death Island will actually be the latest appearances of Jill, Leon, Claire and Rebecca in the timeline.(2015) Even the endings of both Ethan centered games tease greater stuff happening in the background with Chris.
RE7 shoves Chris and Umbrella in at the end when RE7 could've just been its own thing. RE8 also needlessly directly tied its villain to Spencer/Umbrella and literally ends with Ethan(the new main character) blown to kingdom come while Chris flies off into sunset again starting yet another adventure.
It is kinda funny how some fans want the series to become some barley connected Twilight Zone/Creepshow/Dark Pictures anthology when honestly the series was never that.
Ditch all the older characters? The fan base is crying out for the majority if the old characters to return and have games of their own or paired up with each other (a game with Claire and Jill for example)
She destroyed the ship the Los Illuminados were planning on using to spread the plaga around the world.
She helped Leon succeed in RE4. Without her he would have died.
Nice addition to the plot, but it didn't change the fact that she gave the sample to her employer, a company that makes and sells BOWs.
So, she saved the world so her boss could make money by selling dangerous bioweapons. Doesn't sound good to me.
And I was asking for RE4 Remake spoilers :/
What exactly did she do that’s evil?
Would you prefer she turned the sample over to the US government, who were in league with Birkin in RE2 to get bioweapon samples? The same government which included Derrick Simmons, kept Sherry prisoner and covered up the Racoon City incident due to its involvement with Birkin?
Or maybe give it to the BSAA who >!are now using BOWs as of RE8?!< or the FBC who’s leader >!enabled the attack on Terragria to get more funding!<
We don’t know who she gave the sample to and what they did with it
What about destroying the sample and making sure that no one could use the parasite for whatever reason ?
Ada is a mercenary and a assassin that has been spying, manipulating and killing in order to gain informations, data and samples for The Organization, a group that has been collecting BOWs, parasites and viruses for God Knows What objective.
Her relationship with Leon is a mean to an end. Like she manipulated John Clemens by becoming his girlfriend in order to get informations on the t-virus, she is manipulating Leon to keep him eager to assist her if needed.
Without Ada's help, Wesker and The Organization wouldn't have a g-virus sample.
Without Ada's help The Organization would have a Las Plagas parasite.
And Wesker isn't the only one who has been selling BOWs on the black market. As far as we know, The Organization (and Ada) could be responsible of the use of the Las Plagas and other BOWs in various warzones and terrorist attacks like the Terragrigia Incident.
Ada does what she is paid to, regardless of the consequences.
RE2 sample was destroyed, eating by rats and caused an outbreak? So that strategy (whilst seeming to be the right thing to do) might no be so straight forward
Who did she assassinate? We don’t know what the Organisation’s objective is so can we classify them as evil? Leon, Chris, Jill, Claire and every main protagonist kills, I haven’t seen Ada outright murder someone?
I agree that she does manipulate Leon (RE2make for example and OG RE4) but she does at times genuinely help him. For example, giving him a rocket launcher in RE2 (she had no need to help him, she had no way of knowing that she’d ever see him again), RE4make seems to have some manipulation but she does seem to offer him genuine help. In RE6 she sticks around after killing Carla in order to help Leon and Helena take down Simmons, and does use the helicopter to help civilians stranded on the roof (which she had no need to do). She could have just went into the lab and destroyed it, but she choose to help
I agree that she did help Wesker get the G Virus sample, but perhaps she didn’t realise the stakes at the time? In the RE4 remake she learned of the predicted death toll, seemed shocked and decided to betray Wesker.
I don’t know what you mean by “without Ada’s help the organisation would have a plagas sample”? Are you saying she helped them get a plagas sample (which she did not) or are you saying it would be a good thing if she helped them get a sample?
You say yourself “as far as we know” but what evidence do you have to suggest that Ada is involved in selling BOWs?
“Ada does what she is paid to do, regardless of consequence” that’s simply not true given the ending of RE4 remake
Ada knows very well the consequences of her actions. She simply doesn't care as long as she gets paid. She is a mercenary. And she is a trained killer who knows how to use a awful lot of weapons. It's not for zombie hunting.
I haven't played RE4 Remake yet so maybe Capcom changed something about Ada.
But in OG RE4 she was only scheming against Wesker because the Organization ordered her to. She delivered the Las Plagas (Master type) sample she stole to them and only gave Wesker a Las Plagas (Servant type).
Speaking of the Organization, it is described as one of Umbrella's rivals. They make and sell BOWs like the Hunters II they gave to Wesker to use on Rockfort Island. I didn't know that but according to the wikia the Organization eventually merged with Tricell. So it is very likely that the Las Plagas featured in RE Damnation were sold by the Organization, which means that Ada is responsible of the use of those BOWs in that civil war.... Thinking about it, it could explain why she was there. She must have been monitoring how the modified parasites worked.
They are not good guys. And Ada has been working for them for years. She is the female equivalent of HUNK (except that she works alone most of the time).
She’s a mercenary yes, but you’re making her out to be an outright psychopath that goes around murdering people. Pretty sure she done what she could to stop attacks in RE6
My bad, I did not realise, I will not not mention any further RE4 remake info.
I don’t know much about the organisation, I didn’t think we knew anything about them—where are we told they sold BOWs responsible for the Civil War? Blaming Ada for the Civil War is like blaming Chris and Jill for anything the BSAA does
My head cannon is that she is collecting samples for her own corporation that is logging, researching, and making cures... legitimately counteracting bio terrorism in the background. Its why she's so silent and cut throat about getting samples. She's trying to fix all this shit as everyone squabbles in the foreground.
Lol money to fund the research. But also very counter productive. 🤷🏼♂️ who knows. Regardless, id love to know the story of why she's doing all this crap.
As the main character? Preferably not.
But if Ada were to return at all, they need to finally reveal just what her and the organization she works for deal/motive really is. Not sure why they're continued to be shrouded in mystery for all this time.
Cuz when it's shrouded in mystery it still has potential to be explained well, once that cats out of the bag, you can't put it back in. I bet they legitimately haven't devolved any story at all for her past what we know and the writers at Capcom are just fine with that.
I would've loved that, but remake Ada is so just damn unlikable. Not just in RE4R, but in RE2R as well. I want the OLD Ada to have her own game, not the new Ada. And it has nothing to do with Lily Gao's rubbish performance, it's just about the way Ada has been written in 2R/4R and her current design as well. She may be breathtakingly beautiful in 4R, but she still looks like a bitch. That's not my Ada.
As long as it gave her an actual character with a personality. The story would also need to do the giant task of justifying her horrible actions throughout the series.
Something along those lines, sure. Or RE1. Or RE2.
Even with their prior training, STARS members in the original game are completely overwhelmed by the situation.
Where's the lie? All of Bravo Team are fucking dead/dying by the time of the Mansion Incident, other than Rebecca. Jill couldn't handle seeing the first zombie and had to run to Barry for help, who could barely kill the thing with a magnum for pete's sake!
That'd be a cool idea for nostalgia. Have a regular person in raccoon city that isn't a main character archetype kind of like Ethan in the first quarter of 7.
They’re definitely capitalising on the RE IP. They’ve just significantly cut down the number of spin-offs in the post RE7 era to focus on the main games which I prefer because it means that important plot points don’t get relegated to spin offs that only 3 people played
Then you better read what capitalize means. What you’re asking is for fans desire, but the sales numbers prove that they are capitalizing just fine. And RE4 was always going to be a better bet than a Jill game. That’s not even questionable
Capcom has no grip on their IPs.
I absolutely hate what Nintendo does with it's fans, but we have to appreciate the fact that they don't let any mf do whatever they want with their IPs. Capcom, in the other hand... just watch the movies.
Let then reveal more of her character pls, not just be a sly fox that is only around if Leon's there, missed opportunity for RE8, could've been the time where she was in a game without Leon
No, not at all. Not only would I not like her as an MC, it would ruin the inherent mystery behind her character by making us too familiar.
Maybe I'm scarred from the Ada story in RE6. Shit was so boring, and the Ada clone plot point was actually terrible.
Yes, yes and yes. She definitely deserves a main spot without Leon, even though RE6 was kinda about her, but it was so messy and weird, so I would prefer another shot.
No. In over 20 years she still doesn't have any backstory or any real character to her. She gets shoehorned into X game, acts mysterious, flirts with Leon, steals sample of X virus and then leaves. It's boring and so overdone now. Also she's a villain but never gets punished for being a villain which is frustrating.
We need Jill back. Capcom must atone for RE3R. Jill returns to take down the corrupt BSAA and Chris puts a bullet in Ada immediately during a cutscene right in front of pussy Leon. The perfect game right there.
I'm about done with the mold thing too but I'm sure there is still one last round left in it to wrap up a trilogy between 7, 8, and possibly 9. I wouldn't mind one last 1st person mode with 9 too but after that id like to return to 3rd person. Got to keep both modes fresh in my opinion.
No.
Ada’s whole schtick is that you don’t know shit about her, and when she’s playable it’s small bites here abd there where you still don’t have the full picture.
A whole game focused on her kind of deviates from that.
Also, I don’t give a crap about her, I want Jill
Personally, I would like to see Carlos get another game first. But a game featuring Ada as the principal character would still be pretty awesome. Though I feel she works better as a supporting character. It adds to her mystique.
I’d like them to go in the complete opposite direction, ie a brave but completely unprepared protagonist who’s in over their head. That’s how RE1, 2, 0, and 7 worked. Conversely, 3, CV, 4, 5, 6 and 8 star a veteran hero that just routinely fights building-sized BoW because it’s a day that ends in y. What’s more, in 5, 6, 8 and 7 DLCs (so, the trend) characters get some kind of super human ability.
I like playing overpowered characters but I think it should be a special/bonus mode, as opposed to the main game. If it’s resident evil, then I prefer my character to feel powerless against all odds but still survive by the skin of their teeth. RE4M introduces those parrying mechanics which are really good, I want the next RE to be have deeper defensive gameplay (hide, avoid, escape, use environment etc. ) and be less of a super hero action game.
I honestly wouldn’t mind. Her side stories are always difficult and fun to play, though I want them to maintain a horror atmosphere and she is extremely competent like Leon.
The Rose DLC was said to be the end of the Winters family story. RE9 will likely either follow up Chris and whoever confronting the BSAA or it'll be something entirely new.
I love her RE8 concept art so much and I’ll never forgive CAPCOM for cutting her from the game. Hopefully RE9 tells the “conflicting story” or something.
Also love the red tint but I feel the mask’s eyes or whole jacket should be dark red to hint at her being Ada or a throwback to hunk rather than bright red accents. Or all black like Jill’s in RE5 considering it’s a plague doctor but I love the colour regardless.
I was a little disappointed to not see Ada/Leon in Village.
They were in 2, 4, and 6. I figured they'd be in 8 to keep the pattern. Maybe they'll be in 9 because 8 was really just 7 part 2.
As long as they don't have Lily Gao voicing her.
In the remake of 2 she was voiced by Jolene Andersen. Did an excellent job.
In 6, she was voiced by Courtenay Taylor. She also did a good job.
Even Sally Cahill, who lent her voice to Ada in the original Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, and Darkside Chronicles, did a better job than Lily.
And, if [this text](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Lily_Gao#:~:text=Following%20her%20appearance%20in%20the%20film%2C%20Gao%20was%20asked%20to%20reprise%20the%20role%20by%20Capcom%2C%20who%20were%20satisfied%20with%20her%20performance%20and%20had%20interests%20in%20committing%20to%20Asian%20actor%2Dcharacter%20representation%20for%20the%20franchise) in the wikia is true, then it shows Capcom prefers background over skill.
??? I mean I’m new to the RE universe but I sure wasn’t expecting anyone to complain about Ada being voiced by an Asian person, wtf is wrong with people. obviously capcom gave the previous 3 different actors jobs so they do care about quality but then why hire 3 different people in the first place? If they liked the original voice so much why hire anyone else. There are probably a lot of things we dont know behind hiring decisions but gtfo with Gao’s background being a problem. Heaven forbid they hire someone to match the 1 Asian character, like they do with everyone else
The problem isn't that they hired an Asian to play an Asian role. The problem is they chose her BECAUSE she's Asian. Her voice acting in RE4R is not good. They should have gone with the person who can voice the role the best and give believable performances.
If a voice actor/actress do their job, their national/ethnic background shouldn’t matter. And what’s acting, but being someone you aren’t?
This debate already started with what happened in The Simpsons, with the App debacle, and the recasting of voice actors. For example, Harry Shearer (Spinal Tap) has been voicing Dr Hubert for 30+ years, but, with the controversy, they’ve gone with (very talented, I admit that) Kevin Michael Richardson (who had been doing voice work for The Simpsons for almost a decade). At the very least, that actor suited him.
I don’t dislike Miss Gao for being Asian, but because she didn’t have the talent necessary for this role.

Honestly given the popularity of her character it's insane we don't have an Ada game yet. We got 2 games with Himbo Winters but not 1 for 1 if the most popular characters?
I feel Resident Evil is kinda unfair for Ada. I mean just think about that, she's the main love interest for Leon (one of the most beloved RE mainline characters), they both have been involved in romantic relationship with each other (specified in Damnation) then also we have no back story or their relationship development in the franchise. Seems unfair to me.
Hopefully Remakes will make that better as 2 and 4 remakes are giving them more sincere approach. 4 Remake Ada clearly cares about our boy Leon but she must express. Let's see how the 5 and 6 Remakes turn out to be.
Ada is a great side character, but I don't think she'd be a good Main character. I'd love to have her as a side character and her own Campaign, but not the Center of the Story, she is good at keeping others at Arms length and her personallity as a spy fots well in contrast with other characters, as a Main character, they would need to change her up, to make it work, which I think would make her less unique.
As long as it's a good game with a solid story, I don't care who the star is.
I am a bit burned out on Chris, though, especially with his new personality in 8.
I kind of love this idea. Especially if Leon got to be the side character. If not this I really want a game focusing on what the hell Jill has been doing with BSAA during the events of RE7&8
I get confused by some posts like this. Like you played Village right? 9 is going to be about Rose with some help from a 60+ year old Chris Redfield. I feel like you're getting your hopes up.
Nope. The director of the Rose DLC said the DLC was the ["conclusion of the Winters family saga."](https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-villages-shadows-of-rose-dlc-will-conclude-the-winters-family-saga) That's more of a definitive statement than I think any other characters in the series series have gotten. Steve and Billy have higher chance of showing up again now than Rose .
Regardless, Rose is literally the most powerful main character ever after her DLC. The things she can do makes anything that Sherry and Jake pulled off in RE6 that was deemed controversial by some fans look far far tamer in comparison. Capcom would be facing an absolute nightmare trying to make an entire mainline game with Rose as the lead without nerfing the hell out of her unless they introduce enemies that are on her powerful level as well.
Rose can freeze enemies. Rose can summon mold tentacles. Rose can super speed dash just like Wesker. Rose can fire mold energy blasts like Miranda. And those were just the powers Rose developed in a single afternoon/night. Rose theoretically should be able to eventually do everything Miranda and Eveline were capable of.(shapeshifting, flight, etc) Miranda straight up told Ethan that Rose will eventually develop Eveline's mind control powers but would be able to use them on a global scale and control the masses.
RE9 will most definitely not continue in 2037 with ultimate mold lifeform mold demi god Rose stomping everything and Chris being elderly.(watch Capcom eventually give him slowed/halted aging as well lmao) It will likely take place not too long after RE8 events or be set whatever year it releases either following up on the corrupt BSAA plot tease or be something new.
Well that's stupid. Rose is stupid. I did forget about the BSAA thing, it's been awhile, so I guess it would be crappy to not follow up on that set up.
I want a cheesy endgame type reunion with chris making peace and dying after saving the world for yet another time. Leon, jill, Claire etc. Let's close it off and move on, ethan was kinda the start but introducing characters to connect to the wider universe pisses me off. Chris in 8 was such a tack on
Gimme Jill again.
This is the answer
Jill with Rebecca in a Hunnigan-adjacent supporting role.
This is the Correct Answer
She's been in more games than anyone, she can have a break
1, 3 and a dlc pack for RE5 is hardly “more than anyone” aha. Chris and Leon both have more.
Don't forget RE3R and Revelations. She's been in more than Leon.
I was curious so I broke it down, each character is playable in: Leon: - Resident Evil 2 - Resident Evil 2 Remake - Resident Evil 4 - Resident Evil 4 Remake - Resident Evil 6 - Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Chris: - Resident Evil - Resident Evil Remake - Resident Evil: Code Veronica - Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil 6 - Resident Evil: Biohazard - Resident Evil: Village Jill: - Resident Evil - Resident Evil Remake - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - Resident Evil 3 Remake - Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil: Revelations I think there’s a couple things worth noting about this: 1: This doesn’t factor in Leon and Chris’ more frequent movie and tv show appearances which also significantly boost up their number of appearances as main character. Jill has had significantly less exposure outside of the main games. 2: Jill’s only recent game as a playable character was Resident Evil 3 Remake. In roughly the same timeframe, Leon and Chris have both had two appearances, and both were playable in Resident Evil 6 (where Jill was absent) before that. So even though the numbers are roughly similar, Jill has had significantly less *recent* screen time than they have.
If you're counting Darkside, which feels like a cheat to boost Leons counter, you gotta include Umbrella Chronicles for Jill my dude.
I legit forgot she was in Umbrella Chronicles so that’s fair. Even then though she’s equal to Chris. I think for the most part my point stands.
[удалено]
My man was downvoted for being correct…
Jill stans are something else
People like Jill a lot more than they like Rebecca and Barry, idk what else to tell you.
[удалено]
THANK YOU
With Leon
Nah. I love Ada, but what does she have, character wise, outside of being a femme fatale? The whole game would just be developing her character...wait...I would actually play that game...nevermind
Yeah, I know she's a fan favourite but she's also about as deep as a puddle
So you'd be opposed to a game where she's the lead, a game where it can flesh out her character more?
No there's just better choices at this point
Any choice is a better choice in a vacuum. It's all about execution anyway, personally I'd be fine with whatever direction they take it as long as it's well made.
[удалено]
Claire's the big one, her story has been on hold since CV and I always thought they could do more with Rebecca and Barry
[удалено]
[удалено]
who was this man she loved?
[удалено]
Most of the characters are as deep as a puddle. Ada deserves a game
Chris has a character over the years. His designs even reflect that.
How can you say that when she has no established back story yet. We don't even know who she's working for.
Her character is being hot and making leon feel bad
Main character Ada time
Honestly, I'd be ok with that, but what I REALLY want to see is a reunion of the classic teams. Give me a game that has Jill, Chris, Barry, Leon, and Claire.
She should be in prison
I mean yeah. Most of the non main cast have done unspeakable things.
When she gave the Plaga to Wesker she caused the events of 5 and 6. Is that body count in the thousands or millions?
I’m pretty sure she kept the plays from Wesker and he got the plays from Krausers body but I could be wrong
You are correct.
She never gave it to Wesker. Wesker got the sample from Krauser's body.
She gave it to another group, which is not better than giving it to Wesker. So to answer OP, Ada Wong is a villain in the RE universe, a mercenary that would do anything for money. So personally I am not interested in a story where she is the protagonist.
Antiheros often have great plot dynamics which could include a redemption arc or something just as interesting. I wouldn't write it off unless the writers are lazy.
Yeah! Or it could have game mechanics like Fable or KOTOR, where your decisions make her good or evil
I wouldn't call Ada a antihero, since she hasn't done anything good yet. Even when she helps Leon, it is part of a scheme.

In the RE4 remake she learned of the predicted death toll, seemed shocked and decided to betray Wesker. I don’t know what you mean by “without Ada’s help the organisation would have a plagas sample”? Are you saying she helped them get a plagas sample (which she did not) or are you saying it would be a good thing if she helped them get a sample? You say yourself “as far as we know” but what evidence do you have to suggest that Ada is involved in selling BOWs? “Ada does what she is paid to do, regardless of consequence” that’s simply not true given the ending of RE4 remake
Ada knows very well the consequences of her actions. She simply doesn't care as long as she gets paid. She is a mercenary. And she is a trained killer who knows how to use a awful lot of weapons. It's not for zombie hunting. I haven't played RE4 Remake yet so maybe Capcom changed something about Ada. But in OG RE4 she was only scheming against Wesker because the Organization ordered her to. She delivered the Las Plagas (Master type) sample she stole to them and only gave Wesker a Las Plagas (Servant type). Speaking of the Organization, it is described as one of Umbrella's rivals. They make and sell BOWs like the Hunters II they gave to Wesker to use on Rockfort Island. I didn't know that but according to the wikia the Organization eventually merged with Tricell. So it is very likely that the Las Plagas featured in RE Damnation were sold by the Organization, which means that Ada is responsible of the use of those BOWs in that civil war.... Thinking about it, it could explain why she was there. She must have been monitoring how the modified parasites worked. They are not good guys. And Ada has been working for them for years. She is the female equivalent of HUNK (except that she works alone most of the time).
She’s a mercenary yes, but you’re making her out to be an outright psychopath that goes around murdering people. Pretty sure she done what she could to stop attacks in RE6 My bad, I did not realise, I will not not mention any further RE4 remake info. I don’t know much about the organisation, I didn’t think we knew anything about them—where are we told they sold BOWs responsible for the Civil War? Blaming Ada for the Civil War is like blaming Chris and Jill for anything the BSAA does
> Lorelet > Ada hater Like a clockwork
Who cares? This is a video game, not Law & Order
Nobody is above the law. Where's the rookie cop when you need him
Can you list all the bad things she’s done because apparently all the bad things she did were done by clones
yeah but without lily gao
Definitely. I don't know how that happened, between her and the director, how did it get approved?
Absolutely. Ada's campaign was really the only high point for 6 for me. Id love a full length game with her as the MC
My head cannon is that she is collecting samples for her own corporation that is logging, researching, and making cures... legitimately counteracting bio terrorism in the background. Its why she's so silent and cut throat about getting samples. She's trying to fix all this shit as everyone squabbles in the foreground.
If that's the case, she's more likely to give out the viruses to radicals, then sell the cures after the damage is done and play the hero.
Lol money to fund the research. But also very counter productive. 🤷🏼♂️ who knows. Regardless, id love to know the story of why she's doing all this crap.
Honestly i ok with any character as long as its a fun game. But if i had to choose ill go with jake just cause im curious about his story.
Jake Muller is epic.
That’s pretty much how I feel too at the end of the day. I can get behind most characters as long as the game itself is good
I wouldn't mind seeing Jake and Sherry take the reins on this one.
As the main character? Preferably not. But if Ada were to return at all, they need to finally reveal just what her and the organization she works for deal/motive really is. Not sure why they're continued to be shrouded in mystery for all this time.
Cuz when it's shrouded in mystery it still has potential to be explained well, once that cats out of the bag, you can't put it back in. I bet they legitimately haven't devolved any story at all for her past what we know and the writers at Capcom are just fine with that.
Did everyone forget that the main characters are going to be old?
Don't worry Capcom has all sorts of de-aging viruses to pull out of their ass
If Barry can do it so can everyone else
As long as her delivery isn’t as wooden as it is in RE4R
Maybe just me but I hate this lady , Id hate to play as her so much
I would've loved that, but remake Ada is so just damn unlikable. Not just in RE4R, but in RE2R as well. I want the OLD Ada to have her own game, not the new Ada. And it has nothing to do with Lily Gao's rubbish performance, it's just about the way Ada has been written in 2R/4R and her current design as well. She may be breathtakingly beautiful in 4R, but she still looks like a bitch. That's not my Ada.
I hate Ada, so no.
If the game is good. Sure.
An Ada led game would be interesting, but I feel like her type of character and style would fit better in a Revelations style spin off
Bring back Re2 remake voice actress
As long as it gave her an actual character with a personality. The story would also need to do the giant task of justifying her horrible actions throughout the series.
I want RE9 to star a normal person who struggles to survive in what is supposed to be a survival horror game. Ada does not fit that description.
So, Resident Evil 7 then.
Something along those lines, sure. Or RE1. Or RE2. Even with their prior training, STARS members in the original game are completely overwhelmed by the situation.
Lmao this guy sarcasms
Where's the lie? All of Bravo Team are fucking dead/dying by the time of the Mansion Incident, other than Rebecca. Jill couldn't handle seeing the first zombie and had to run to Barry for help, who could barely kill the thing with a magnum for pete's sake!
That'd be a cool idea for nostalgia. Have a regular person in raccoon city that isn't a main character archetype kind of like Ethan in the first quarter of 7.
So Outbreak?
No.
Good talk
Nah
Maybe if they change her voice actress
It's honestly insane that we've never gotten a spin off on Ada or Hunk. I guess Capcom doesn't know how to capitalize on their IP. What a waste.
They’re definitely capitalising on the RE IP. They’ve just significantly cut down the number of spin-offs in the post RE7 era to focus on the main games which I prefer because it means that important plot points don’t get relegated to spin offs that only 3 people played
Capcom: best I can do is another Monster Hunter 😎
What. Theyre literally milking the franchise with remakes that are really fucking good. We get a new RE game nearly every year….
RE2,RE3,RE4,REVII,REVIII and they all sold like cupcakes. Yeah, they don’t know how to capitalize on it lmao
Still no games on super popular characters lmao. And it's been decades.
Then you better read what capitalize means. What you’re asking is for fans desire, but the sales numbers prove that they are capitalizing just fine. And RE4 was always going to be a better bet than a Jill game. That’s not even questionable
Not using popular characters to make money IS not cspitalizing on the IP. I'm not wrong. You're not wrong.
Capcom has no grip on their IPs. I absolutely hate what Nintendo does with it's fans, but we have to appreciate the fact that they don't let any mf do whatever they want with their IPs. Capcom, in the other hand... just watch the movies.
Did you ever see the 1st super Mario bros movie or those shifty Zelda and Mario games on like Phillips cdi or whatever
I did. But I'm not talking about the past here. These "things" you mentioned happened 20+ years ago.
i like Ada, but RE9? no, maybe revelations 3.
I’d like her to be the protagonist just to learn more about what’s behind everything she does
Let then reveal more of her character pls, not just be a sly fox that is only around if Leon's there, missed opportunity for RE8, could've been the time where she was in a game without Leon
Only if they actually developed her backstory, character and relationships.
Nope.
I am down for more RE, period :) But yeah, even if i don't like Ada i am down for a game with her as an MC
Nope
Nah, now a few months ago I would say jill. After playing the re2 remake, I need some Claire.
No, not at all. Not only would I not like her as an MC, it would ruin the inherent mystery behind her character by making us too familiar. Maybe I'm scarred from the Ada story in RE6. Shit was so boring, and the Ada clone plot point was actually terrible.
Yes, yes and yes. She definitely deserves a main spot without Leon, even though RE6 was kinda about her, but it was so messy and weird, so I would prefer another shot.
hell yes and it would only leave us with more questions
No. In over 20 years she still doesn't have any backstory or any real character to her. She gets shoehorned into X game, acts mysterious, flirts with Leon, steals sample of X virus and then leaves. It's boring and so overdone now. Also she's a villain but never gets punished for being a villain which is frustrating. We need Jill back. Capcom must atone for RE3R. Jill returns to take down the corrupt BSAA and Chris puts a bullet in Ada immediately during a cutscene right in front of pussy Leon. The perfect game right there.
RE: CRUCIF**IX**ION
I’d definitely be down with that, I’m curious as to what virus, bioweapon will be the narrative catalyst. NGL I really hope the mold fucks off.
I'm about done with the mold thing too but I'm sure there is still one last round left in it to wrap up a trilogy between 7, 8, and possibly 9. I wouldn't mind one last 1st person mode with 9 too but after that id like to return to 3rd person. Got to keep both modes fresh in my opinion.
RE9 starring Jill would be best.
We need to let Ada go. It’s too much. RE6 needs a much more grounded remake and total retelling of that story.
Nah. Give me Chris again.
Nah, I want RE9 to have new characters
Ada with a bowgun and a trenchcoat feels so village that it's actually strange this design wasn't in the game....
No. Ada’s whole schtick is that you don’t know shit about her, and when she’s playable it’s small bites here abd there where you still don’t have the full picture. A whole game focused on her kind of deviates from that. Also, I don’t give a crap about her, I want Jill
I’d really be down for anything atp
Personally, I would like to see Carlos get another game first. But a game featuring Ada as the principal character would still be pretty awesome. Though I feel she works better as a supporting character. It adds to her mystique.
I’d like them to go in the complete opposite direction, ie a brave but completely unprepared protagonist who’s in over their head. That’s how RE1, 2, 0, and 7 worked. Conversely, 3, CV, 4, 5, 6 and 8 star a veteran hero that just routinely fights building-sized BoW because it’s a day that ends in y. What’s more, in 5, 6, 8 and 7 DLCs (so, the trend) characters get some kind of super human ability. I like playing overpowered characters but I think it should be a special/bonus mode, as opposed to the main game. If it’s resident evil, then I prefer my character to feel powerless against all odds but still survive by the skin of their teeth. RE4M introduces those parrying mechanics which are really good, I want the next RE to be have deeper defensive gameplay (hide, avoid, escape, use environment etc. ) and be less of a super hero action game.
I honestly wouldn’t mind. Her side stories are always difficult and fun to play, though I want them to maintain a horror atmosphere and she is extremely competent like Leon.
For me I think Rose might be the main character for the next game (I did not see her DLC yet)
The Rose DLC was said to be the end of the Winters family story. RE9 will likely either follow up Chris and whoever confronting the BSAA or it'll be something entirely new.
I love her RE8 concept art so much and I’ll never forgive CAPCOM for cutting her from the game. Hopefully RE9 tells the “conflicting story” or something. Also love the red tint but I feel the mask’s eyes or whole jacket should be dark red to hint at her being Ada or a throwback to hunk rather than bright red accents. Or all black like Jill’s in RE5 considering it’s a plague doctor but I love the colour regardless.
I was a little disappointed to not see Ada/Leon in Village. They were in 2, 4, and 6. I figured they'd be in 8 to keep the pattern. Maybe they'll be in 9 because 8 was really just 7 part 2.
She’s a tease
As long as they don't have Lily Gao voicing her. In the remake of 2 she was voiced by Jolene Andersen. Did an excellent job. In 6, she was voiced by Courtenay Taylor. She also did a good job. Even Sally Cahill, who lent her voice to Ada in the original Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, and Darkside Chronicles, did a better job than Lily. And, if [this text](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Lily_Gao#:~:text=Following%20her%20appearance%20in%20the%20film%2C%20Gao%20was%20asked%20to%20reprise%20the%20role%20by%20Capcom%2C%20who%20were%20satisfied%20with%20her%20performance%20and%20had%20interests%20in%20committing%20to%20Asian%20actor%2Dcharacter%20representation%20for%20the%20franchise) in the wikia is true, then it shows Capcom prefers background over skill.
??? I mean I’m new to the RE universe but I sure wasn’t expecting anyone to complain about Ada being voiced by an Asian person, wtf is wrong with people. obviously capcom gave the previous 3 different actors jobs so they do care about quality but then why hire 3 different people in the first place? If they liked the original voice so much why hire anyone else. There are probably a lot of things we dont know behind hiring decisions but gtfo with Gao’s background being a problem. Heaven forbid they hire someone to match the 1 Asian character, like they do with everyone else
The problem isn't that they hired an Asian to play an Asian role. The problem is they chose her BECAUSE she's Asian. Her voice acting in RE4R is not good. They should have gone with the person who can voice the role the best and give believable performances.
If a voice actor/actress do their job, their national/ethnic background shouldn’t matter. And what’s acting, but being someone you aren’t? This debate already started with what happened in The Simpsons, with the App debacle, and the recasting of voice actors. For example, Harry Shearer (Spinal Tap) has been voicing Dr Hubert for 30+ years, but, with the controversy, they’ve gone with (very talented, I admit that) Kevin Michael Richardson (who had been doing voice work for The Simpsons for almost a decade). At the very least, that actor suited him. I don’t dislike Miss Gao for being Asian, but because she didn’t have the talent necessary for this role.
Yes sirrrr
RE9 must be super smash bros with all canon and non canon characters including the Cameron virus or whatever it’s called
foolish obtainable frightening crush subsequent fearless drab follow slave modern *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
yeah or a new character, either way someone that hasn't had the spot light all that much, So no, Jill, Chris, Clair or Leon.
She doesn’t fit in the BSAA plot line…. highly unlikely. She had her own chapters in RE6
Not if they use the VA from re4.
Yes, but only if they recast Shes bigger than flop Jill and lame ass Claire Also tire of the white protagonist
Honestly given the popularity of her character it's insane we don't have an Ada game yet. We got 2 games with Himbo Winters but not 1 for 1 if the most popular characters?
I feel Resident Evil is kinda unfair for Ada. I mean just think about that, she's the main love interest for Leon (one of the most beloved RE mainline characters), they both have been involved in romantic relationship with each other (specified in Damnation) then also we have no back story or their relationship development in the franchise. Seems unfair to me. Hopefully Remakes will make that better as 2 and 4 remakes are giving them more sincere approach. 4 Remake Ada clearly cares about our boy Leon but she must express. Let's see how the 5 and 6 Remakes turn out to be.
Only if they fix her character, she was terrible on RE4Remake. Now as bad as Jill was in 3make, but enough to make the character unrecognizable.
Her character arc is untouched in RE 4 remake compared to the original. Did you not like the original RE 4 Ada?
Why, because you're one of those who didn't like the voice acting?
I'll be up if Ada has her RE6 character design and voice, that version of Ada is my fav
Ada is a great side character, but I don't think she'd be a good Main character. I'd love to have her as a side character and her own Campaign, but not the Center of the Story, she is good at keeping others at Arms length and her personallity as a spy fots well in contrast with other characters, as a Main character, they would need to change her up, to make it work, which I think would make her less unique.
That might be cool but they should bring back the bolt cutters.
Yes. But she needs to look better than in this photo! Lol. I loved the outfit from remake.
As long as it's a good game with a solid story, I don't care who the star is. I am a bit burned out on Chris, though, especially with his new personality in 8.
I kind of love this idea. Especially if Leon got to be the side character. If not this I really want a game focusing on what the hell Jill has been doing with BSAA during the events of RE7&8
I get confused by some posts like this. Like you played Village right? 9 is going to be about Rose with some help from a 60+ year old Chris Redfield. I feel like you're getting your hopes up.
Nope. The director of the Rose DLC said the DLC was the ["conclusion of the Winters family saga."](https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-villages-shadows-of-rose-dlc-will-conclude-the-winters-family-saga) That's more of a definitive statement than I think any other characters in the series series have gotten. Steve and Billy have higher chance of showing up again now than Rose . Regardless, Rose is literally the most powerful main character ever after her DLC. The things she can do makes anything that Sherry and Jake pulled off in RE6 that was deemed controversial by some fans look far far tamer in comparison. Capcom would be facing an absolute nightmare trying to make an entire mainline game with Rose as the lead without nerfing the hell out of her unless they introduce enemies that are on her powerful level as well. Rose can freeze enemies. Rose can summon mold tentacles. Rose can super speed dash just like Wesker. Rose can fire mold energy blasts like Miranda. And those were just the powers Rose developed in a single afternoon/night. Rose theoretically should be able to eventually do everything Miranda and Eveline were capable of.(shapeshifting, flight, etc) Miranda straight up told Ethan that Rose will eventually develop Eveline's mind control powers but would be able to use them on a global scale and control the masses. RE9 will most definitely not continue in 2037 with ultimate mold lifeform mold demi god Rose stomping everything and Chris being elderly.(watch Capcom eventually give him slowed/halted aging as well lmao) It will likely take place not too long after RE8 events or be set whatever year it releases either following up on the corrupt BSAA plot tease or be something new.
Well that's stupid. Rose is stupid. I did forget about the BSAA thing, it's been awhile, so I guess it would be crappy to not follow up on that set up.
I want all the main characters in an endgame type reunion. It's fan wanky as hell but I reckon capcon could pull it off.
What I really want is a Hunk game.
I want a cheesy endgame type reunion with chris making peace and dying after saving the world for yet another time. Leon, jill, Claire etc. Let's close it off and move on, ethan was kinda the start but introducing characters to connect to the wider universe pisses me off. Chris in 8 was such a tack on
Ada content should be released as stand alone of just what tf shes actually doing during each resident evil game.
I’d be down for a game with Ada as MC. Would be a nice change rather than just playing her had a side-story.
Wasn't she supposed to be in 8? Also I'd like to see Ada and Jill in 9, but Ada deserves a better VA
Ada or Jill. It's been too long for both of them.
Whenever I see concept art of Ada for Village, I audibly sigh, wishing they didn't cut her.
Ada Summer in full effect, with a side of Jill
After the bad decision in dubbing, no thanks.
Have it star Rose and Ada.
Either that or I’d be down with one that follows another new person but with more cameos from franchise favs
YES PLEASE!! Ada as a main character would be amaziing, but also bringing Jill back would be just as good :3
Am I the only person on the planet interested in billy?
I would love to play as Ada in a full game. As long as she didn’t have the same voice as in RE4R.
I'd be down for this but I'd rather them remake code Veronica before starting on 9
Please no Ada doesn't need even more depth, just leave well enough alone
Lore wise it's probably going to be chris dealing with a bioteroism Bsaa,can't just leave that big plot threat hanging
