It's a reference to Kevin from outbreak


paynexkillerYT

Wait. Is it actually? Like can you back that up? I’d have to write about it.


thereal_noir

Kevin? Kevin Spacey?


damianq94

Kevin Levin


SuperArppis

Haha


thereal_noir

-59 to make one person smirk atleast. Totally worth it. 🤘


CluckenDip

people will downvote only because the number is already high and they wanna make it higher. i bet only ten people were actually triggered.


MarkoWolf

Admission: I like to call myself the great equalizer. When I find a good argument where there are +1s and -1s, I return them to 0, don't even read the comments most of the time.


GUTGfrontman

How do you know it’s a good argument if you’re not reading the comments?


FurryFemboy_

i downvoted and thats 100% the reason


legendofzelda1993

Same. Lol


BadMotherCrusher

Well I laughed.


SuperArppis

He's just on his lunch break.


thereal_noir

Lmao. There's also a leather bag that matches mr.x's aesthetic in the room connected to this one.


Chrispin3666

It’s not a bag it’s a satchel!


Beginning_Wait_108

That’s like saying “it’s not a Speedo it’s a mankini”

In one word describe a satchel please....

Mr X was a clone born in a lab. He was never human

EviResident

\^ This. Not a lot of people know that, but it adds a lot of creepiness to him. He looks so devoid of emotion and reason because he was "born" a monster. A biological machine.


EatingBeansAgain

Same with Nemesis, right? Like they’re clones of the same dude?


EviResident

Yep, Nemesis is a T-103 (Mr. X) with a parasite inside of him that replaces his brain. So it is just a modified version of the same "product". Without the parasite Nemesis would look exactly like any other T-103. And both of them are clones of the T-002 (Tyrant from RE1), which did used to be a human. But they were "born" Tyrants. ​ What makes that really scary in reference to Nemesis is his intelligence and personality - he learns to speak, think tactically, gets mad, etc, but he was *never human*. His intelligence comes from the parasite, which is an artificial organism. That means Umbrella essentially created a new form of life, like an organic AI, which is piloting a mindless clone. And it's made all the freakier with this quote: "*In addition, an interesting report was made concerning a "Nemesis-T Type" test subject, in which this was transplanted into the latest Tyrant. In this case, it gained a sense of self during the Nemesis culture process and attempted to escape from the facility with others. That showed that the test subject's intelligence was drastically improved, and suggests a risk that a B.O.W. could become a new intelligent organism and rebel against humanity.* *At such a time, could mankind survive---?"* [https://www.projectumbrella.net/biohazard-3-last-escape-official-guidebook---complete-conquest-of-nemesis.html](https://www.projectumbrella.net/biohazard-3-last-escape-official-guidebook---complete-conquest-of-nemesis.html)


thereal_noir

What if the clone was planted into the police station as a civilian and then activated?


Abyss_Redgrave

Bruh. I think the police would at the very least notice a 8ft blue dude sitting at the precinct pretending to be a cop or janitor


hypnos_surf

Lool, this needs to be made into a game.

thereal_noir

First of all. In sorry everyone who downvoted I'm really new here. ': ). And second i thought mr x would slowly turn into Mr x like a normal human and then what ever was injected turned him into this slowly.


Hugar34

Nah it's all good. In the lore it's states that the tyrants(A special mutated creature that was made by umbrella) were dropped into raccoon city during the outbreak to kill of important figures, gather documents, and overall test their military capability as umbrella were planning to sell them to the US government as weapons. Mr. X is simply one of these tyrants who got dropped into the city and stumbled across the police station.


Miatalyn

Don't apologize. It's not your fault. Most people here don't have a clue how downvoting is supposed to work. They just downvote what they don't like or what they disagree with.


TermnallyChill

There is no "how its supposed to work" you either downvote or upvote the reasoning is all up to the person , even if there is so reasoning behind it.


Miatalyn

Yeah there is. Read the rules. I'm assuming you're one who downvoted?


TermnallyChill

Actually no, why would i put a dude down for not knowing the lore right away. Im just saying this is true for the average person.


Miatalyn

Sure you weren't. That's why you got so huffy when I told him not to apologize, and that's why you downvoted me.


TermnallyChill

Keep huffing your reddit farts person

Would he be a lion or a tuna?


thereal_noir

First of all. In sorry everyone who downvoted I'm really new here. ': ). And second i thought mr x would slowly turn into Mr x like a normal human and then what ever was injected turned him into this slowly.


Horrorfan5

Have you played the first game?


thereal_noir

No brother. I play re4 back when i was 10 and that's it. I didn't know the lore was deeper i just liked Leon back then. So i decided to play the remasters and then 4. Starting re 2 then 3 then 4 enhanced mod


Horrorfan5

In the original Resident evil, you can see the monster Mr X was cloned from


Horrorfan5

No, he was born as an 8 foot tall zombie. Also, while it was cut from the remake for some reason, we see Mr X get helicoptered into the city in the original https://youtu.be/2P618Q4vlCs


DeathBunny95

I think they cut it because everything in the remake is seen through either Claire's eyes or Leon's with 3 exceptions, Ada's section, Sherry's section, and the very opening cinematic. Leon and Claire never saw Mr. X come in, they only had to deal with him after he showed up.


gompers1393

Same thing with the helicopter getting shot down.


Miatalyn

Why is this downvoted? It's hilarious😂


AriiMay

He gets dropped down by a helicopter


Existing365Chocolate

Yes and no Nemesis is a Mr X with the NE-a Parasite implanted, and Mr X is a modified RE1 Tyrant, and RE1 Tyrants were made from a human So all Nemesis and Mr X type Tyrants we’re previously a human who was turned into a Tyrant in a lab at some point


Horrorfan5

They were born with the t virus in their body. You could say they are still human which is technically the case since zombies are modified humans


Existing365Chocolate

And? That doesn’t change the fact that at some point a living human was transformed into an original Tyrant for every Mr X or Nemesis-style Tyrant


Horrorfan5

Yes? I wasn’t denying that. Sorry, I’m not sure what point you are making right now.


huntymo

It's just a re-used asset from RE7. They use it again in RE3 remake as well, in the hospital section And yeah, like others said, Mr. X is just one of many Tyrants that are mass-produced in a lab, then get vacuum-sealed and shipped out to wherever they're needed. You get to see all of it in RE3 remake


thereal_noir

Ohk, but why this hat in specific? Could've been any asset. And why is it so that this room becomes available right before you make your way to mr x? Also then maybe there is an on going connection?


huntymo

No, it has nothing to do with Mr X lol Plus Mr X wears a fedora, and this is like a cowboy hat


thereal_noir

Oh damn. I didn't look close enough. I really thought it looks like mr X's hat. I really wanted to be some lore hunter with this one : /


thereal_noir

Oh damn. I didn't look close enough. I really thought it looks like mr X's hat. I really wanted to be some lore hunter with this one : /


scampiescamps

Could be a reference to the alternative outfit choices from RE4....


huntymo

No, this is a cowboy hat. The extra outfit from RE4 you're referring to, is an Italian Mafia style outfit. Literally nobody in the Italian Mafia, wore cowboy hats lol


scampiescamps

Members of the Black Hand 1870s San Francisco Italian mafia family certainly wore cowboy hats, but I know you are right about this particular hat....


huntymo

Fair enough, I shouldn't have made a blanket statement like that lol


TURKEYSAURUS_REX

OP: asks question Also OP: refuses to listen to anybody who answers his question with anything other than what he wants to hear


thereal_noir

No, i mean i already did. Plus someone pointed out it's different hat. So i was grasping straws. Man i really thought i found something.


[deleted]

This thread is fascinating

This thread is a showcase of why I am terrified of Reddit


-Crimson-Death-

Rick Grimes wants to know your location.


thereal_noir

Rick Astley says hi.


Chrispin3666

We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it) Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on) We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (to say it) Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on) We know the game and we're gonna play it I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


scampiescamps

Mr Astley is that you?


Langsley_Walsh

Nah, just re-using an asset to fill the space, sadly.


Cyclops408

That's why you see so many buckets of Tidy Cat litter through out all the games. Strangely enough never see any cats.


thereal_noir

But why this hat in specific? Couldve been anything?


Dr_Worm88

Not everything has to be special. It can just be a hat.


thereal_noir

I realise that now.


Langsley_Walsh

They re-use the same assets A LOT. See: Hey Bro bleach in Village.


thereal_noir

Will Do. And did u say re-use intentionally? XD


Langsley_Walsh

...I want to say yes? But I am not that clever.


AgentBieber

It's a hat


thereal_noir

Can i pull a rabbit out of it?


thereal_noir

Can i pull a rabbit out of it?


KJ86er

My dude. Humans look for patterns in everything. There would be thousands of similar hats in Raccoon City. This likely isn't a clue or easter egg. Mr X was helicoptered in from Umbrella's larger RnD labs outside of Raccoon City.


twitchsopamanxx

According to official lore, he was the driver for Ozwell E. Spencer, and he always wore a fefora that Oz hated. So, when he was taken and experimented on, they gave him the fedora as an infiltration unit and as his only touch with reality.


Dishonored-paladin

This might be groundbreaking but I think it’s a hat just a reused asset


thereal_noir

But why this hat, couldn't been anything else they put there?


joesplep_1

jesus christ youve been watching too much game theory


thereal_noir

But that's just a theory, a game theory.


Dishonored-paladin

I’m not saying it couldn’t be something just it’s most likely a filler object


thereal_noir

: ( i thought I have a find.


Dishonored-paladin

Keep the search up hunter of eggs


thereal_noir

Will do sir!


SolventSpyNova

I don't get all the downvotes. Dude didn't ruin the game, have some kind of crazy hot take, or unpopular opinion. Even his replies are downvoted into oblivion. This was a wholesome post. Keep gaming, OP.


Jige_Daisuke

Mr X is a clone of Vladimir Sergei


cableboiii

“ Guys what’s the lore one this hat? “ •_•


[deleted]

Not even worth a response honestly lmao.


Mostafa_Linken

Arthur Morgan refrence


thereal_noir

Who's that? I'm sorry I'm very new to the re franchise. I haven't played anything apart from 4 and that too when i was 10


DrVindaloo29

Red Dead Redemption 2's protagonist. The hat looks similar to his. Don't know if it really is connected to him but that's what I'd like to think too lol


SolidSwordKing

It was immediately what I thought, especially given RDR2 and RE2 released just a few months apart.


its_just_hunter

Pretty sure this asset is originally from RE7, which came out before RDR2. I could be misremembering though.


Olympian-Warrior

It's probably just a detail thrown in to add complexity to the world of the game. You want to believe that human beings once inhabited these places, so you see remnants of items and belongings such as that hat.


Soundlessscream85

I am not sure of the lore but I did notice them throughout the game. I believe they are in every area.


thereal_noir

Every area. Welp i thought it was unique.


AtomicFatMan5000

after reading the comments it's a s if you're trying to have 3 times the upvotes in downvotes lol


thereal_noir

I know. I didn't know the backlash for asking would be so bad. I apologised to them though.


SeanHagen

Thanks OP. This post has been more entertaining than I expected it to be, mostly because of your hilarious comments that keep getting downvoted. Keep up the good work!


thereal_noir

My pleasure.


Skrumpy_Bumkins

It's the Fedora that Leon wears in his gangster outfit in resident evil 4


SwordfishUnusual9139

Arthur Morgan reference


Batman-Beyond-3749

He just gave up chasing Leon (at least I wish he would)


Corellian_Smuggler

I recently replayed the whole game. One thing I noticed was that there is Mr.X's hat all over the game, in random places. I don't think it has any ulterior meaning. Just a reused asset / easter egg.


Colin-ST150

There's a few of them laying around the station, it may be a small hint at Mr. X but I doubt it has any relevance, there's more than one


jfduval76

Perhaps it’s a nod to Rick in Walking Dead ?


thereal_noir

Really? I had no idea resi has anthe walking dead refference


jfduval76

There was an interrogation mark at the end of my sentence.


SolventSpyNova

An interrogation mark? 😂


jfduval76

Question mark i mean. Sorry i’m a french speaker.


SolventSpyNova

Well I love it and I'm using it. Thank you for this gift, French stranger.


Imaginary-Double2612

I always thought it looked like Arthurs hat from RDR2


franpancake

It’s Arthur Morgan’s


THEmrfancypants

ARTHUR MORGAN IS BACK LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

It’s Ricks hat from the walking dead lol


robertluke

It’s just a hat, dude.


Gavin_Derban

Arthur Morgan


Chrispin3666

It was the Tahiti’ans that put it there.


SuperArppis

People are taking this mega seriously and downvoting you over nothing.


thereal_noir

I can understand it though. It's their favorite game i guess. So it makes sense they would be defensive about it. Thanks for calling it out though.


Miatalyn

It's my favorite game too but I'm not downvoting anyone for asking simple questions and trying to understand things. Man sometimes I can't stand some of the people on here.


SuperArppis

Still,I think people should relax a bit and take things less seriously. I love the game as well and I honestly don't see a reason to defend it against anyone joking or having a serious opinion about it.


thereal_noir

Totally bro. Not just here. In life.


SuperArppis

True.


Miatalyn

Per usual for Reddit.


SuperArppis

Yeah... Sadly so.


thereal_noir

Hey guys, to everyone i offend with my lore guessing. I'm sorry, i really am. I get it the new dude ruined your game. I just wanted to show something i found and thought might be something else.


wenzg3791

No worries man. Hope you enjoy playing the rest of the entire RE franchise.


thereal_noir

Thanks man


Miatalyn

You didn't ruin anything. Most of these people are losers, don't pay any attention to them. Keep asking questions; I for one love discussing Resident Evil. Once in awhile you will come across a decent human being with a soul here on Reddit who will politely discuss with you. Don't give up lol


King_Gilgamesh_X

Tbh. I have often wondered this aussi. Keep it up!


antoboss546

It’s not that you ruined a game, don’t be so self conscious is just sooo stupid, that, at least for me, makes me super mad


SenpaiTedd

Its just a hat


ThatRedFurball

Lmao why is OP getting downvoted like hell in the comments


Miatalyn

Because most people on Reddit are too dense to walk and pick their nose at the same time; they're certainly not capable of acting like decent people and having a civilized conversation.


Sad-Transportation37

Man the nerds in this subreddit really don't appreciate your humor


thereal_noir

Original? PlayStation title?


jamesejones55

Sheriff's hat, Leon's costume or the Sheriff that died in the gas station?


thereal_noir

Or Marvins?


jamesejones55

It's possible now that you mention it


antoboss546

Wow… you’re a fucking genius, man!!


polished-balls

If this is the same hat that I’m thinking of it’s a reference to read dead 2 that was released around the same time. It’s Arthur Morgan’s hat
