Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Am I the only one who wants William Birkin as the RE killer

Always found him to be best designed RE monster from the first 3 games.

That eye man. Or the way his face shifts to his chest

I get nemesis is more iconic and all but my vote would go for him

    I'd love Birkin as the RE killer. His power could involve shifting between his different forms for different advantages and such. G1 as the basic form with 115%, G3 for a slower form but maybe with instadown potential, and G2 for more speed but less chase power, and he could bust out G4 for his mori :)

    Nemesis was never iconic. RE3 is literally the least popular game of the franchise, even the remake did poorly.

    I'd like Jack Baker as the killer for RE, but my second pick would definitely be Birkin. He fits the game way more than Mr. X or Nemesis does, and the devs could have a lot of creative freedom with his power.

    I like Birkin a lot but if we could get a killer and a killer Legendary skin he fits the most ad a legendary skin to me for blight

    Nemesis is paradoxically the most iconic monster while being from the least popular game.

    Birkin is probably one of the less iconic monsters despite being from the most popular game! Though the motifs of the G virus (Lots of eyes and a big goo kaiju) are pretty iconic despite Birkin being not so much, which is why elements of the G-virus design snuck their way into T-Virus creatures so often.

    RE is weird like that. I doubt we will get Nemesis for the killer (but it is of course possible) simply because of how Nemesis might be hard power wise. But I could see Birkin either as the killer or as a Blight skin. Likewise, I could definitely see a Dr. Salvador skin for one of the chainsaw boys.

    Doesn't actually matter whether the game itself was popular, Nemesis and Mr. X are definitely the most iconic and recognizable monsters. Even people I know who've never played RE themselves know who they are.

    Shapeshifting killer would be awesome, and given that it's licensed and therefore unlikely to have multiple cosmetics, it would be all the more viable.

    Yeah I think him as skin works pretty well for blight while others like mrx or Nemesis would kinda have to be their own thing
