Resident Evil 4player Cj-the-man started a playthrough of Separate Ways and immediately noticed a funny reference toResident Evil 5during some dialogue between Ada and Wesker. As Wesker briefs Ada on the current situation and her mission, he notes that an entire nearby village is infected by the Las Plagas parasite. Cj-the-man and other avidResident Evilfans quickly noticed that the “complete local saturation” line by Wesker is a reference to his speech aimed towardChris and Sheva inResident Evil 5.
Near the end ofResident Evil 5’sstory, Wesker is infected with the Uroboros virus and proclaims that it will be released into the atmosphere, ensuring “complete global saturation.” The spread of the Uroboros virus would eliminate most of the planet’s population and give Wesker the opportunity to reign over humanity’s last remaining survivors as a self-proclaimed god. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Wesker’s delivery of the “complete global saturation” line became a popular meme online, and many fans believe it’s one of his best lines in the entireResident Evilseries.
Resident Evil 4’sreference toResident Evil 5is very clever and shows that Capcom has kept up with the onlineResident Evilcommunity for many years. Although the Separate Ways DLC was released months after the game’s launch, Capcom took its time to fully developAda Wong’s campaign with brand-new scenes. In addition, the development time also allowed Capcom to make further gameplay refinements and insert theResident Evil 5reference.
Resident Evil 4is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
