I always thought Alex would be in this game, since RER will have Il Vetro and that weired hair guy as enemies... And RER happens before RE5, if they don't mention Alex anywhere, probably they hadn't met him yet xDI've been wanting to see Alex Wesker for a long time. I'm still thinking RER is his game, so I might leave him alone for RE6.
It could go either way at this point. I think its Steve, you think its Alex, we will have to wait and see who is right (or if we are both wrong).
Alright then my money's on HUNK.
I mean they're all good possibilities but at the same time I think the guy looks like he might be a little too old to be Steve. Based on the pictures we've seen of him, I feel like he is in his late 30's early 40's. Chris is going to be around the ages of 35-39, depending on when this game takes place, and quite frankly I think Chris looks about the same age- or even a bit younger- than the unknown merc. And Chris had a good 8 years on Steve.
I have to agree that, unless they're changing everything we know about HUNK's character so far - physical appearance, characterization, personality and so on - it's most definitely not him. This might be a little stupid and naive but I always imagined the Wesker children as having "perfect" traits - ie; blond hair, blue eyes, etc. - this guy doesn't fit into that little image. Alex also came before Albert in the project since Albert was the last of the Wesker children, if I'm not mistaken, so wouldn't he be even older than Albert was? Not to mention the fact that, if he's so great like the Wesker children are supposed to be, genius little prodigies and what not, why in the world would he be a mercenary? Seriously? A merc is Spencer's pride and joy? That makes no sense what-so-ever. (Not that anything Capcom does ever makes any sense.)
I say it's either Steve or a new character.
Haha...Sorry it didn't work the first time!
hahaha.
But on a serious note, IMPOSSIBLE.
Hahaha Yeah, I won't be surprised by anything at this point after what they did to Jill in RE5. I am hopeful that he is Steve, but I highly doubt it because I'm pretty sure he was confirmed dead. So this will most likely be Alex Wesker... It'd be awesome if it was Hunk! but again, highly doubtful it will be him either.
Well Wesker's powers came from the shot Birkin gave him.
Before RE5 hadn't it always been presented that Wesker simply got the 'prototype virus' from Birkin just because he wanted to see if it would work on him?
I'm sorry, no offense to people who are hyped about this whole Alex Wesker business, but I'm already tired of the guy and he hasn't even made a personal appearance yet; he seems to be nothing more than a lame attempt at bringing another Wesker to the series to pick up where Albert left off as the main antagonist. It's simple really: everyone loved Albert but the storyline was coming to a crossroads and so they felt the need to do something drastic - like end things with the original Wesker/Chris rivalry storyline - but, in the end, they want to keep Wesker part of the series and wham bam, thank you ma'am, Alex Wesker appears out of nowhere. Instant Wesker without adding water or waving the reincarnation stick around. *shrugs* The guy is obviously just a plot device and I would love it if this idea never came to fruition; it's just so corny. Either bring the real Wesker back or go in a completely new direction but please, no knock offs.But in RE5 they seemed to really be pushing Alex Wesker.
