In recent years, the events depicted in zombie and viral outbreak video games have had subtle but very real implications. Ever since the Playstation one era ushered in the Resident Evil series, we have seen many possible real world scenarios that could become a possible reality. Capcom continued their zombie and viral outbreak games into the later and most recent generation of video game consoles. Games like Dead Rising adds to the picture they paint for a very potential zombie apocalypse outbreak here in the United States. My theories and beliefs are subject to what your mind perceives. Take none and all of this as the world's future.
I came up with this theory while replaying Resident Evil two and three, which I was playing for its sheer challenge. Parts of the games take place in the same area, the Racoon City Police Department, or the “RPD.” Certain areas in Resident Evil two had great events happen in them, and additionally you could find useful items and storyline elements in them. In Resident Evil 3, this is not the case, to even the extent of useless messages and blocked paths occurring in the same meaningful areas that had been used in the RPD in Resident Evil 2. This adds the subtle message of cover ups happening in the events in the games, which also are a direct message, mainly pertaining to the Umbrella Cleanup Crew. (Did you know! Umbrella Corporation is a real company here in the United States!)
After realizing this, I came up with a complete conspiracy theory. The events of the games indicate that a company performed biological testing in a town for their own research. In the events of Resident Evil 4, they add the element of the Los Illuminados, or “The Illuminati”, in Spanish, using a parasite in a terrorist effort, targeting the government, specifically the presidents daughter, Ashley. This casts blame upon secret organizations as terrorists harming innocent people with a controlling and parasitical virus. In Resident Evil 5, the parasite is used to wipe out populations in a subtle but obvious ethical cleansing. The reoccurring main villian of the Resident Evil series, Albert Wesker, has his last hurrah here in the game, attempting to kill the world's population with a virus in the oceans, or a subtle message of the world's water supply. If the real world was to become infected, the easiest way would be through our water supply. Everyone uses water, all the time, and we all get it from one source, in most cities. A parasitical virus would be nearly undeniable by most civilians in our drinking water in the real world, so this makes perfect sense. In Resident Evil 6, a reoccurring worldwide apocalyptic scenario is expressed in the game explicitly. In the Resident Evil Revelations games, interior involvement is a theme. The ones who are supposed to be your allies are actively trying to work against you. The second game involves a remote island where biological testing is done in isolation. The idea of a remote island being the location of a breakout was also reflected in the popular Dead Island series. The implications of the Resident Evil series is clear, and involves many different ideas that organizations may do or have already done to innocent victims.
The other series by Capcom to note is Dead Rising. Dead Rising starts with a middle aged freelance photo journalist investigating a city closed off by the National Guard. In this city, he encounters zombies trying to overrun a shopping mall and several demented beings trying to capitalize off of the hysteria. (”Psychos.”) Frank West, our photojournalist, finds out about the DHS involvement with the investigation of the case, and find out that the zombies were some sort of parasitical viral insect-like creature that had taken over hosts that became zombies, originally developed by a bizarre scientist. In Dead Rising 2, a character named Chuck goes on a television show where he runs over zombies to make money to help his Infected daughter stay human. The drug, Zombrex, is a daily dose that is very expensive to buy. The Infected theme here spans over to terrorists, zombie sympathizers, and a man trying to take advantage of a gambling resort with a zombie outbreak so that he can exploit it to steal money. In Dead Rising 3, people are administered a cure that also tracks them with GPS. (What sounds wrong with this so-called cure, I wonder?) The cure makes the people turn into zombies instead, and the government seeks to blow up the city in five days. The main character later on finds out that the government had been actively monitoring the town and is trying to kill off any and all survivors. In Dead Rising 4, Frank West returns after nearly twenty years to investigate a new zombie outbreak in the original city from Dead Rising 1. The game has direct implications that the military is testing on people and turning them into zombies and unleashing them into society. Frank West is originally hesitant to investigate the original outbreak. The first time that Frank West sought to expose the government's involvement in the zombie viral outbreaks they shut down his stories and coverage, silencing him.
It is clear that zombie outbreak video games are telling us that the scenarios in the video games could possibly come true. It is feasible even that the game's producers are fighting for us, informing us of the possible future and to be aware of it. We can only fight against such plots if we are wise to what our own masters, the government, might do to us. All of these theories may not be exact or right, but I believe fully that I have uncovered something a little bigger than what the world population can perceive. I feel that I owe a big thanks to the video game producers, especially Capcom, for making these discoveries happen. Without you I would be devoid of inspiration. To everyone who is the little guy out there, I will continue to fight and write for you, always. Until next time, love and peace to all.
