 RF> And zombies are realistic?  Last I heard, zombies were the creation
 RF> of the voodoo religion. Star Wars' universe could theoretically
 RF> exist. Resident Evil's main problem is that posits things that would
 RF> *never* happen. A combat team with the ludicrous acronym of
 SI>        Name some games that could really happen.  Not 
        All of the Police Quest games fit into that category.  Just about 
every wargame *did* happen.  And of course, flight sims generally use 
real-life as their template.
 SI> Star Wars.  Yeah.  Use 
 SI> the force.  It's like saying that a certain movie sucks because it would 
        That's different.  The Force is crucial to the plot of the movies 
(and the better novels), especially its character development.  In Resident 
Evil, the creatures are important to the plot, but they serve mainly to scare 
you (which is, admittedly, not a bad thing).
 SI> never happen.  The game is meant for entertainment, 
 SI> obviously.  RE did that 
 SI> really well.
        I didn't really think so.  I've played games much more entertaining 
than RE.
 RF> (I'm sure real-life reasearchers would love to hear about how to
 RF> create a zombie).  It's just totally preposterous.
 SI>        First, do you know the story.  I mean really 
 SI> understand everything. 
 SI> It's pretty easy if you pay attention.  They didn't TRY 
 SI> making zombies.  They 
 SI> werre experimenting on a virus.  The Tyrant Virus.  It 
 SI> got loose and infected 
 SI> the area. 
        And that produces zombies?  I still think the developers could have 
come up with a more plausible story.
