Resident Evil: Requiem

[Otherworld]

Suspension of disbelief gets ****tered with Irving. Simmons, Carla and Morpheus do not get close to the size and scale of Irvings transformation.

But, to your point, it is ultimately irrelevant.....

Simmons fly form is bigger than Irving, and he reaches it in minutes. Carla’s slime form fills an entire battleship, also in minutes. Morpheus puffs up in rapid growth to fill Umbrella’s entire underwater facility in less than a minute before exploding. So yes, they exceed Irving’s scale, which is closer to 70-80 feet in length (not counting tentacles), so not at blue whale levels.

Can you tell me how you have confirmed the 70-80 foot length?

Seriously dude, you need to learn how this works.

First of all: read. I didn’t say I had confirmed the exact length, I said it was closer to the length of 70-80 feet, and I was careful to phrase it that way.

Second of all: observe, examine, analyze, and extrapolate. Look at the size of the Plaga portion when it comes out of the water in the cutscene. Look at the size of what’s left of Irving’s human body in comparison to it. Look at how much of the creature we see when it’s swimming (not counting tentacle length, we are talking in terms of the main body). Most of its body comes up out of the water and onto the deck of the boat when it tries to snap at Chris and Sheva; look at the actual size of its body in comparison to theirs and the size of the boat’s deck. It is easy to determine based on these casual observations, as I did years ago, that the creature measures in closer to under the known length of a blue whale, rather than at or exceeding it.

Thanks for the lesson.

Everything you are listing is determined by you alone.

Understood.

I don’t understand why Irving ****ters your suspension of disbelief but the other creatures mentioned here don’t when some of them undergo rapid transformations and are of comparable size.

Lol it censored that.

It censored mine as well....LOL. No idea why.

Plagas never turned anything anywhere near that size.

Just so I understand then, we’re excluding when viruses do this (as well as their near-supernatural properties)? They don’t break your suspension of disbelief, just Irving and just plagas? And it’s the size he becomes that’s the sticking point for you?

I fully admit that other examples should do the same to my suspension of disbelief, but Irvings really irked me.

It’s determined by the magic of sight and using one’s own brain. These are conclusions based on plainly clear information you can see with your own eyes. That’s what you do when no official information is provided. Basic stuff, man, basic stuff.

Well, one did. And since there was that huge ass one on the wall that Salazar got swallowed by, we know that they can grow to that size, with the only variable being how rapidly. And let us not forget, Irving’s was an engineered variant.

So, you are telling me you can determine the sheer size and scale of Irving after transformation with your eyes alone..... ???

Salazar had Verdugo and a large plant. 3 different parts to create the monster. And again, Salazar does not seem to be anywhere as big as Irving.

A) Look again, the mass is barely smaller, B) the plant-like was already at huge size before absorbing the other two and its size did not change afterward other than one additional tentacle, so your continued insistence on this as being some kind of mitigator is puzzling.

And yes, you can determine the general size and scale of Irving’s transformation by comparing it to - check this out - what’s around it, using your eyes. It’s a method that goes back thousands of years and is how we ended up with the mathematical discipline called trigonometry. A similar technique can easily be used here, comparing obvious sizes, which Sesame Street teaches kindergartners.

LOL! Sesame Street teaches trigonometry?!?! Must be Count von Count giving the lessons!

Yup, that plant was large. I'll give you that.

So, what is around in the scene when Irving transforms and the following boss battle that you are using for size comparison? Share your math.

‍ No! Dear God, are you capable of reading?!

Do you see where the sentence about trigonometry ends? Do you see the next separate sentence where I clearly say a similar technique - using one’s ability to look at things to learn things about them - is used to compare the obviousness of sizes of things, and how that’s taught on Sesame Street, meaning it’s a basic component of learning things? Pay attention to what is said.

Second time- ‍ Once again, read. I already said, several posts back, that you can see how big the giant Plaga is in comparison to Irving, to Chris and Sheva, and to the deck of the boat they are on when it comes out of the water to snap at them. I said this. Read!

As I thought.....

No real math involved.

And no direct answer on how you can corroborate your statements above.

 

[Unknown]

It’s long been a theory (mostly to justify the gameplay) that the mutations can adapt to the immediate environment, which can part way explain why Irving turns into a water based creature and why Saddler forms those legs that let him hop around the level the way he does.

There’s no hard explanation for why the mutations work, it’s all guesswork, from us and within the canon itself (files and reports often theorise on these things).

Tell me you didn’t read or take in anything you did read, without telling me.

Lets just agree to disagree on this matter.

I finished Requiem a few days ago and I really enjoyed the game. Absolutely loved the care center and Racoon City segments. Although as I’m watching some walkthroughs on YouTube I missed a few of the optional side areas.

Will most definitely revisit it again at some point.

Fair enough, I’m getting bored repeating myself.
