Agree, but.. I'm not sure to what part of Alessa in Origins are you reffering; 'cause the one we see all the time in the mirrors, and after deafeting bosses, was the dark side of Alessa, while the one Travis saves from the fire is the "real" Alessa, the one that created her + Cheryl.
I was the one who said that, to end the confusion, and I can see what you mean and you just made me like Origins a little bit better. In a way the mirrors show Alessa's transformation from light to dark, enhanced by Travis's negative feelings. In a way, Travis may well have helped create the Otherworld which we see in SH1.

If you consider it canon, then yes. Travis *did* help create everything in SH1, but because of all the plot holes and jumping around the game does, most people wouldn't consider it canon, but simply a fan project that got major funding.

It could be a lot worse. She could have gotten the Chris Redfield treatment, but I digress.

I didn't see anything particularly "evil" about Origins Alessa. Maybe I'm missing something, but it's always possible that she was deliberately that she was trying to look as mean as she could in order to scare the other characters.

^I don't understand why she would be trying to scare the other characters, though.

There was no reason for her to seem so cold. You remember the "stairs" scene, right? That was some crazy shit. Her astral projection was being very intimidating and emotionless. The closest thing to 'caring' she was towards Travis was during the good ending when she....didn't scare him in his rear view mirror, I guess.

Srsly, no matter what issues I had with that game, that was a great ending. Something about it gave me closure.
The above user visits this forum *very infrequently.* If you need any type of response or answer from her, she may or may not be able to provide it in a timely manner.

Thank you for understanding. <3

Chris wasn't the worst makeover for RE5. Jill doesn't look a thing like her former self and Wesker looks like crap...

Jill looked a lot like Fiona Belli, which is just wrong on so many levels. I didn't mind Wesker, although the making him dress like Neo bit was kind of idiotic.

The character design looks pretty different between SH0 and SH1 but this isn't the first time that it happens...

And RE0 just happens a couple of hours before RE1; the game designers don't bother about the character appearance, they just want to show new stuff...

I don't bother Alessa's design in SH0, at least she looks to have her age; in SH1 Alessa looked like 30 and Cheryl looked like 15...

I don't know if generic is the word I would use. I mean, she looked like a little girl, but I agree, not the same girl I have been accustomed to seeing. Oh, the decisions these gamemakers make! Visually, a lot could have been done to improve that game, especially on the PS2 version. But for the PSP, I was very satisfied with the overall appearrance. Maybe she'll look like the old model if we see her again. I hope so. haha

You want to see her again?

How are people not sick of seeing her? She's been in half the games already, more or less.

Well, she's dead. We won't be seeing her again.

Unless someone in the new SH team is really, really dumb.

Well, SH3 doesn't really count. Heather was only a reincarnation of Alessa, that doesn't make them exactly the same. (I doubt Alessa had was as sarcastic as Heather.) Memory of Alessa was a manifestation, not the actual character. So that makes for 2 games tops, out of 7.

^Sooo? It was still Alessa. She was in SH1, SH3 (Yes, that still counts), (mentioned in SH:TR, but I wouldn't really count that), SH:0 and SH:Orphan. Don't think she is in Homecoming, but I wouldn't know. She is quickly approaching PH's meme count.

I can only pray they all think the same way you do. I see another Alessa, Ima punch a baby. Or a toddler. There is a 2 yr. old somewhere around here....

^ She's also in the movie. If you want to include the cell-phone game, you might as well include the movie.

Very nice addition Magnolia. LMAO.

And I never said I wanted to see her again, but hey, if we do, I won't be bothered by it... long as the story fits.

in the cutscenes she looked like young travis with a wig and a dress, i never really saw her as to mean though, she was forcing travis to confront his demons in exchange for him helping her. it seemed cruel but he's a better person cause of it.

She looked really evil in my opinion. Not at all like SH1, which was AFTER Origins. That's really weird...I also hated how Kaufmann and Lisa looked. Dahlia didn't bother me because she was a lot younger. I thought Travis was okay-looking though.
