Delve into the origins and research of the G-Virus in Resident Evil Outbreak. Learn about its connection to Ebola, the T-Virus, and the sinister plans of Umbrella.
Walkthrough
- 1The G-Virus research began with studying the Ebola virus, noting its high mortality rate and rapid organ destruction.
- 2Researchers found Ebola's weaknesses: short survival outside a host, vulnerability to sunlight, and limited transmission methods.
- 3The goal was to engineer a virus that overcame these weaknesses, allowing infected individuals to survive and act as 'living biological weapons'.
- 4This led to the development of the T-Virus, initially researched as a means to strengthen viruses and create biological weapons.
- 5The Arklay Research Facility was established by Spencer to develop these biological weapons, disguised as a pharmaceutical company.
- 6Early experiments involved a female subject, host to the T-Virus for 11 years, starting in 1967.
- 7In 1978, researchers like Birkin began exploring recombining Ebola genes into a starter virus to enhance its attributes.
- 8The research evolved towards creating a virus with a 100% infection rate, a goal Spencer pursued despite the high costs.
- 9This pursuit led to the creation of the 'Hunter' weapon, designed to be a military biological weapon capable of annihilating both infected and uninfected individuals, including those with protective gear.
Tips
- The G-Virus research was driven by a desire to create a more effective and devastating biological weapon than the T-Virus.
- Umbrella Corporation, under Spencer's leadership, was heavily involved in developing these weapons, often under the guise of legitimate research.
- The development of the G-Virus was a complex process involving genetic recombination and mutation of existing viruses like Ebola and T-Virus.
- The ultimate aim was to create a weapon that could cause widespread devastation and potentially alter the course of warfare.
