Thread: Bio shock

Actually, you're right. I did some follow up on this and it's neither the G or T virus, but an "experimental virus" created by William Birkin.

Code name: Wesker Virus.

Very little is known about this virus. It was created by Dr. William Birkin for the use of Captain Albert Wesker when he faked his death in 1998. This virus increases the metabolism of a person, giving them incredible strength, speed and regenerative abilities, which is why it is believed to be a mild version of the G-virus. The test subject does not suffer from the cascade mutation effect though, meaning Birkin found a way of perfecting the replication of cells even when the body is under extreme duress. The virus also limits itself to muscle tissue and the lower organs, leaving the brain completely intact. This breakthrough means that the subject’s mind is retained and no ill effects have been noted. Unfortunately the only test-subject has violated the law with six counts of 1st degree murder, multiple counts of 2nd degree murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, approximately 150,000 counts of corporate manslaughter, violation of international law under the Biological Weapons Prohibition Pact, conspiracy to commit genocide, bribery, blackmail and various firearms offences. It is unknown if the virus is responsible for subject’s psychotic behaviour or if the subject was naturally unstable.

The virus has been exquisitely designed in the way it affects ocular tissue. The only visible effect of the virus is the way in which it affects the subject’s eyes. The only way a person could move accurately with the extreme speeds generated by the virus is by viewing the world in hundreds of frames per second, most likely in the same range as birds. In order to interact with the world with the ‘normal’ speed of a human, means viewing the world in the tens of frames per second. This means the subject can alter his vision at will, suggesting maybe even some similar properties to the T-Veronica virus.

Interesting. The fact that it very well might be a perfected string of the G virus.

I have a feeling RE5 is going to finally answer it. But if what they are hinting is true, that the Progenitor Virus was somehow derived from the Plagas then its possible its just a perfect hybrid since the plagas left a good bit of brain function and reasoning abilities.

Only two problems with that review.
1. What fucking planet is Gears 1 or 2 still the best looking game out there?
2. When the fuck was Resident Evil 4 scary? I mean seriously if that game spooked you then you have a Vagina. It was a 10 game but it was never scary.
