It never really shows actually...Rebecca leaves him ther on the hilltop overlooking the forest...One can assume he even walked backwards back to Raccoon City where he hopped on a plane or bus and headed off into the sunset on his new life...A game just taking place in the forest would be kind of lame to me...It's just not a strong enough location for a FULL Resident Evil game...
 
The only reason I said forest is that I don't see him staying in the city till the outbreak.
 
I know, that's why I said I figured he wouldn't be their, which means they wouldn't be able to make a game of him trying to escape the raccoon city outbreak.
 
Unless he went to RC to rescue Rebecca...
However, I prefer to think Rebecca moved to another place right after the mansion incident.
Well if you read the resident evil books by SD Perry (Even though it wouldnt have anything to do with the series) in book 2 Caliban Cove, Rebecca works with the STARS branch in Maine to find a reported other lab by a lighthouse.
 
I always figured she left town, since no one believe stars I like to believe she was smart enough to know, their were zombies in the forest (since the explosion didn't cover it all.) and fear the city getting attacked.
 
Don't remind me... *sadness*

Seriously, it's so stupid the way Capcom just leaves out characters. It's maddening!

Wow, I didn't know about this. That would have been all kinds of awesome! They would have had a more proper reunion of sorts when Wesker reveals Jill as the bird lady. It would have been a lot more impactful for the fans I think. Wow..I can't believe they switched him for Sheva.

If they were set on keeping her in the game...they could have done something where Chris and Barry are separated and Sheva would sit in for Barry for a portion of the game. :mad:
 
It's especially sad because Sheva is probably another one of those characters we're never going to see or hear of again. I always wondered why they didn't put Rebecca in Sheva's place. Then fans wouldn't have to wonder anymore what happened to her, we would have one more recurring character instead of two that only appear in one game (well, Rebecca had two, to be fair), and Wesker's talk about the family reunion would make even more sense. Somehow Barry never came to my mind, but now that you all mention, it would have made sense too.

I'm not sure about Billy's return, though. Many fans seem to think that it's best to kill Chris and Leon off before they get too old for business, yet Billy is even older than the two of them, and since Capcom obviously prefer younger characters (Sheva is only 23 in RE5), I don't know what they mean when they say that Billy might return... Well, let's wait and see.

Yea, I personally don't appreciate that Capcom is aging the story as rapidly as it has. This is probably the main reason so many fans have programmed themselves to ask for a reboot or for the originals to hang up their boots. I for one don't want to see this happen. Eventually it might, I suppose....:(

I can see it now. Resident Evil 7, starring geriatric ass Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy lolz. I kid, I kid. But seriously, hopefully they bring back some of the "one off" characters before ending everything :(

I think Billy, being wanted with his crimes never really being cleared, probably traveled to another country to live his life. The possible future game will probably feature him in the middle of a zombie outbreak in one of those foreign cities, preferably a lesser-populated town or village and not a major city. I like the city setting and liked the return of it in RE6, but I prefer an alone, isolated setting. Somehow, I feel we wouldn't see any other familiar faces and it'd just be Billy on his own, like Leon in Resident Evil 4 (minus Ada's appearances). I'd like it.

Sounds good. Then perhaps the BSAA sends in a squad (which Rebecca could be part of) to rescue survivors and clean up the mess. That way, Rebecca and Billy could have a reunion. Maybe they could throw Carlos in there as Rebecca's partner in the BSAA.

I like that Rebecca idea. That might be a good way to re-intoduce her.
 
They could totally use him again. If he coincidentally gets caught up in a random terrorist bio weapon attack or something. He'll probably be on the run, maybe in disguise, but still get caught up in some situation. Everyone thought he, or maybe Ark, was going to be in Damnation, at the end of the trailer it had a mysterious figure standing there, and it was a pretty ambiguous deal, but it ended up being that one guy who ended up in a wheel chair anyway.

I'd totally enjoy seeing Billy return, although I'm content with him being left as is too. Idc.
