Zoomer retard devs don't actually research the decade they're making a game about
I knew some incredibly tech savvy people back in the 90's and nobody used USBs until 2000-2001
Zoomer retard devs don't actually research the decade they're making a game about
>Zoomer retard devs
kek you made me laugh anon, have a nice day and never change
anon its just a game, shut the fuck up you sperg
holy shit you’re right. They should have used a floppy disk
don't you stick it into a computer and it just unlocks a door somewhere?
Most items you collect in RE1-3 are just glorified keys. I think they just wanted to add some visual variety so your inventory doesn't just look like a keychain
a floppy huh??? what is unc talking about bruh????
USB in 1998 is correct.
Doesn't understand technology adoption
Zoomers have no concept of this because they're eternally glued to their smart phones frfr
this isn't as egregious as the game set in 1960's post-WWII (alternate history where they lost badly) England where the union workman guy says "SUS OUT THE PROBLEM" like he's a 14 year old amogus zoomie
it was the game where everyone is fucked up on drugs to the point of incompetence just like real life... it was called "we happy few" that's what it was
That batman arkham scanner Ada had was more retarded
But "sus out" was a thing
That's true too but both things can be bad and make the game reek of out of touch developers
adoption or not, USB was a thing in 1996, so 1998 would still be accurate.
You’re kidding right?
wait until you see the railgun and genetic modification
USBs were invented in 96, it's apt that Umbrella would be using the newest technologies for security reasons
STARS was an elite highly-funded police unit in the corporate town of the most advanced biotech company in the world AND a genetically modified genius from said company was a member of STARS
they would have been using cutting edge technology
floppy dicks
What are you, gay?
Here's the world's first USB flash drives. The Trek 2000 ThumbDrive and IBM DiskOnKey, released a few months apart in 2000. Unless Umbrella also hired timetravelers, its strictly anachronistic.
We literally had a thread about this in the first few weeks when the game came out, We realized that usb sticks while rare were used by select government, military and police roles, Like for example, an umbrella funded S.W.A.T knockoff.
It's amusing to me, Raccoon City being an Umbrella company town. This small town in the bumfuck Midwest US has a state of the art police force, a huge university, a zoo, cable cars, a clocktower, a subway, etc.
Are you genuinely mentally deficient?
umbrella can make viruses that turn people into horrific godlike monsters
umbrella cannot make a USB
why not
I think it's pretty logical that the police paramiliary force being funded by a megacorp would be using stuff like that.
First COMMERCIAL flash drives. The technology itself existed before that.
i know you're trolling but this still pissed me off
Umbrella would be rich enough to have very early USB tech on point. But anyway, it's not like RE is 1:1 real world
Anon "sus out" is an actual literal boomer term.
Anon canonically Umbrella had self aware AI's in 1998, I think they'd have a flash drive or two.
yeah he's getting it mixed up with using sus as shorthand for suspiciuos as blessed to us by amogus
The phrase "suss out" likely originated from British slang, with a first known usage around 1966. It is believed to be a shortening of "suspect," and it generally means "to figure out, investigate, or discover". The word "sus" itself, meaning "suspicious" or "suspect," also has a history dating back to the 1930s.
Seems like it fits pretty well.
IBM patented the tech behind their drive in 1999. If you've got any evidence someone, anyone, had made a functioning USB flash drive by 1998, you'd be right, but saying top-secret military units had this tech without any proof is a step below "a wizard did it".
Yes, no one disputes USB ports and devices were in use by 1998. Flash drives though? Umbrella being extremely well-funded doesn't make the tech retroactively exist before it was invented.
putting a USB stick in a police badge
We are talking about a police station that locked doors with statues holding gemstones.
Why is Umbrella mostly based in bumfuck nowhere U.S.A when it's founder was an English Lord? I mean surely you would want all your important shit to be close to home?
I used to work in a computer store in the '90s. You're full of shit.
It's not the same timeline as our world. RE6 has fucking hologram cubes and both takes place and was released in 2012. USB technology being say 5 years ahead in theirs isn't that much of stretch
You've seen nothing yet.
STARS had cutting edge tech from Umbrella or something
lmao unc's about to crash out
The Resident Evil universe has more advanced tech than irl.
Real estate is cheap.
what year did we invent the t-virus?
If I plug my computer in would it die?
I didn't know Paint's save icon had a name
nah bro, live in the eternal present
what is always was and there was never anything better than now or even different to provide context
This. Simpsons should be updated AGAIN
Actually I never got a fake ID to buy beer -- I bought some weed from a dealer voiced by special guest star Kendrick Lamar and listened to some soundcloud rappers
For the same reason Silent Hill features the school from Kindergarten Cop, because japs in the 90's wanted to make things with an "American feel" but had never gone anywhere more than an hour's walk from the shinkansen so relied entirely on crappy hollywood movies.
Did you live in racoon city?
But watching Hollywood flicks are a good way to get inspired/take notes from for your own work
For the same reason Silent Hill features the school from Kindergarten Cop
Based Japs. Kindergarten Cop is KINO.
people STILL think Among Us sparked the use of "sus"
Holy shit
because everyone wants to be in america
It's funny now that Jap devs actually leave Japan and work with their localization teams beyond a shitty english dub that a lot of the magic is gone.
Blame Zoomers they don't know the word Sus has been in use since like the fucking 70s or something.
It implies that technology developed earlier in RE timeline, it makes sense in a world where T virus was made, it helos immersion
who let unc cook?!
it would be extremely painful
The Simpsons is proof that a revolving timeline is fucking retarded and it's better to either have everything happen in a fixed decade, have characters grow older or just have characters not age at all, with that being accepted somewhat canonically.
it helos immersion.
Fucking ESL zoomoid get the fuck out.
We worked with a couple of broccoli hairs that were laughing at a couple of us older cooks using the term "suss out" because they thought we were misappropriating the term. Quite literally had to show their asses on Google it was a word before their phone game.
IBM patented the tech behind their drive in 1999
Then why was intel manufacturing with USB hubs in 1996 if it wouldn't be patented until 3 years later? Sounds like some lawsuit waiting to happen.
Umbrella just made a USB drive of their own. Look up the history of the USB drive, where there are competing claims on who invented it first.
Because IBM patented flash drive tech, not USB hub tech.
It's an universe that has way better bioengineering than ours, more than 25 years later.
If they have the tech to make a Mr. X then I'm ok with a commercial USB flashcard a less than a decade early.
You've see the shit they did in 6?
You've see the shit they did in 6?
This. It's 2025, where's my goddamn transparent hologram cube phone?
I wouldn't expect the jeets who worked on REdemake to read a history book.
USB is the least of realism problems when they turned the underground lab into a UAC base with two fusion generators that power the sun
USB introduced in 96
game set in 98
It's a security dongle, not a flash drive. Not the same thing.
