XCOM: Enemy Within / Resident Evil crossover. Discuss.
« on: March 30, 2015, 12:50:41 am »

Ok, work with me on this. The aliens from XCOM invade Earth with all their spaceships and all their elerium and plasma and genetically-modified super-creatures. Except that at this point, the humans on Earth have had more than enough experience in dealing with zombies, BOWs (bio-organic weapons) and the like to be a little more ready for stuff like Chryssalids to show up.

Now let me throw in some spice. What if Albert Wesker (as of RE4-5 or thereabouts) was the main 'protagonist' (airquote, airquote) of this potential conflict? What if HE is the 'director' of EXALT, or its equivalent? What if he is the one actually fighting back most effectively against the aliens due to his jump start into genetics research? As of RE5, he has made (spoiler), and more besides. Imagine what he could do if he gets his hands on Sectoids, Mutons, Chryssalids... the possibilities are endless. Alien genetic mutation is already at an incredibly advanced level with their access to the Meld substance. If Wesker got hold of that, not only would he be able to enhance his army to near-unstoppable levels, but he could enhance his own body and have every right to call himself a God.
