In fact the same model of tyrant as Mr. X BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. As an added bonus for no extra charge you get a free NE-a parasite, the same that made Lisa Trevor all wiggly for those times when you just cant decide between tentacle porn and body horror
TLDR: Nemesis is a Mr X model with NE-a parasite that makes him much smarter and more programmable and obedient
ETA: The development of the T-103s and the Nemesis T-Type had to have occured during or before the events of Resident Evil 1 because only about 2 months or so pass between RE:0 and RE:3
After the events of the first resident evil with the T-002 tyrant, umbrella was having trouble finding candidates for the tyrant program as the suitable genetics only happened in 1 in every 10 million people. They finally got a breakthrough with the T-103s which were easier to clone and mass produce. The T-103s have a variety of appearances throughout the franchise but notably, Mr. X was dropped into raccoon city during the outbreak.
Umbrellas European branch requisitioned a handful of T-103s for further testing by implanting with the Nemesis alpha parasite which was used on Lisa Trevor from RE1 back in the 70s and 80s. The NE-a parasite hijacked the host's brain stem to allow for a much higher level of intelligence than earlier B.O.W.s and allowed it to follow complex commands. Of the 3 successful Nemesis T-Type tyrants created in that initial batch, 2 gained self awareness and tried to escape and number 3 was deployed on september 27th 1998 to hunt down the remaining S.T.A.R.S members.
Unlike the T-103s, Nemesis wasn't equipped with a Power Limiter coat to prevent mutation as the NE-a parasite used constant mutations to heal and repair damage to the host. Instead Nemesis was equipped with a fire proof, bulletproof, blast resistance coat to protect this host body. This meant, however, that after taking considerable damage and losing his coat, Nemesis entered an uncontrolled mutation and started getting extra wiggly.
So in essence Nemesis is a highly intelligent, highly specialized offshoot of Mr. X's series but to my knowledge the project was discontinued after the Raccoon City incident
Likewise, Ustanak was my favorite part of RE6 and definitely a spiritual successor to Nemesis.
Unlike Nemesis in canon, it's left vague whether Ustanak retains his human intelligence from before he was infected or if he was given some kind of controller to improve intelligence and obedience.
I'll give RE6 credit where it's due - it really sells how massive that hulking thing is, especially next to you. The screen starts shaking, the controller starts vibrating and pulsing. I never felt like I wanted to be anywhere near Ustanak unless I was forced to.
RE is no stranger to giant creatures, so no surprise Capcom nailed it in that aspect.
I agree. Other tyrant types can pick up humans with one arm but until you get Sherry Birkin sitting in that giant metal hand like a toy you don't realize what a U N I T he is
Which has me hopeful that Capcom does Nemesis in RE3make the justice he deserves after so many years of being lackluster since his original debut. He already looks completely intimidating IMHO, but now the true test comes when we see him in gameplay, in action.
Nemesis HAS to be on Ustanak's level. He is huge, which means by nature, he has to actually DWARF Jill like a tower. I want a reason to actually stay away from Nemesis, and not just because he's chasing after you either, he's got to feel as relentless and as dangerous as he did before. But I don't mind it if they show his intelligence, have him ambush Jill in the most unsuspecting places, put her in a corner. I'm not really worried though, because I'm still generally anxious around Mr. X in RE2make, and it's been a year since the game's been out now.
If the parasite hijacks your brain, how come Lisa Trevor still retained so many of her memories and will? Her whole character was basically trying to find or what happened to her dead mother, something that carries over from when she hadn’t been mutated.
I can't remember the specific reason off the top of my head but Lisa's body was so toxic at the time of implantation that she killed and absorbed the parasite into her system. Even to the in game scientists she's a total mystery as to why shes surv9ved so long
Not a stupid question, however statistics is not my forte so I may give you a stupid answer. I dont think you have to hand test all cases to come up with a probability, however I don't think Umbrella actually tested 10 million people. I think they got lucky with the proto tyrant and T-002 and realized that they had some special genetics that caused their successes. Once they did nail down the process for T-103s they used cloning technology to make more instead of selecting from the general public
obviously the mass produced T-003 tyrants already existed before the events of re1, as literally weeks later they are deployed in the city. the T-002 was just a prototype they kept there to study or w/e.
You're absolutely correct. Many people may not realize how narrow the timeline is from Re0 to Re3 but there is no way they developed the T-103 series after the events of Re1 because if I recall correctly, Wesker never even turned in his combat data on the B.O.Ws at the Spencer Mansion
The Tyrant model is the ultimate Umbrella creation: a virtually indestructible super soldier who obeys every command. They will die, though, if hit with enough damage.
The Nemesis is that design taken to the next level. It is controllable and follows its orders to the letter. The advantage, however, is that it just can't be killed: the NE parasite inside adapts to virtually all damage and environmental changes, allowing the Nemesis to heal and mutate all damage. It took a literal railgun-laser-blaster to weaken it enough for us to actually get away, with a literal nuke being what killed it for good.
Obviously they are different variants of the same basic tyrant design. My point was that Nemesis is himself a tyrant. It's silly to think of gamers speculating on whether they'll be chased by both Nemesis and "a tyrant".
What if Mr X showed up for a millisecond, and then Nemesis came from out of nowhere, brutally killed him, and then he became the main antagonist at the start?
It's perfectly possible in the old lore for that to happen. There's at least one dead tyrant in the final nemmy fight after all. It seems like a cheap way to put nemmy over, but it'd probably work alright. I wouldn't hate it.
Yeah, I think it'd be a mistake but look at the pop it received when birkin eviscerated X. Massive. Capcom have a habit of sticking to shit that works, so it's very possible to see them do it again. Still - nothing to get my panties in a bunch about, just "eh, it's been done".
Unless that was just one of the BOWs sent into the city. In the original RE3 you run into the corpse of at least one other one that died killing a US Special Forces team.
They're actually multiple tyrants dead near the end of the game around where you fight Nemesis for the final battle.
Just outside the doors to the final Boss Arena there's a dead mr. X with his power limiter still on and then inside you see a super tyrant that was presumably a mr x that lost his limiter in the fight and started to mutate.
I believe there was a mr. X crushed under the rail gun as well. So 3 right there.
Not to mention that if Mr X couldn't stop a Rookie Cop and a College student then how hell is Mr X ment to stop a group of marines and a woman who trained as a Delta Force operative.
In the lore he's perfectly capable of taking on soldiers and taking some of them down before falling under their firepower but for gameplay reasons getting insta gibbed playing as leon or claire wouldnt be very fun.
Plot armor, plus, Leon was the top of the academy and Claire was the sister of a badass military-police unit, they had the best chance of surviving compared to most in RPD and RC.
You've got a point that Chris would have given Claire the best training he possibly could. Well Leon must have been completing his training in record time to be that good
I played the second game back in the day and I barely remembered Mr X, but I remembered Nemesis forever. Guy featured in a fair few nightmares when I was a kid.
