Other than unlimited ammo and some new weapons, Capcom doesn’t offer much in the way of fun extras with the Resident Evil franchise. They have included costumes in the unlockables, but they are usually costumes of characters from previous games. Lately however (and by lately I mean in the last 10 or so years), Capcom has really been stepping up their game and getting creative with their characters’ costumes. Some are a bit sillier than others, so here are some of the silliest!
Thug Chris Redfield
Also known as “The Mexican.” Really? It’s a little ridiculous, but the look works for Mr. Redfield.
Clubbin’ Sheva
Nothing like kicking a bunch of Uroboros ass than doing it in a nightclub outfit! Sheva wasn’t playing around, but let’s be honest: how practical is it? Those shoes would not be comfortable and that skirt is too short. The hair is on point, though.
Pirate Jill
My personal favorite is Jill’s pirate costume. She even comes complete with her own personal parrot! The only thing that would have made this costume more perfect would be if they gave her a hook for a hand.
Knight Ashley
What makes this particular costume so awful is that it makes Ashley even more annoying than she already is. Also, if it were real life all that clanging metal would attract every enemy in a 5-mile radius toward you. Not very smart!
Racer Piers
This could have been a great opportunity for Capcom to sell some advertising in Resident Evil 6. I jest of course, but it’s probably something that crossed their minds at some point.
Nurse Rebecca and Billy’s Cody Costume
I’m not sure what a “Cody” is, but stripes sure do suit Billy Coen, don’t they? That nurse tutu though? Woof.
Sailor Chris
Finally. After all of the scantily clad female costumes, Capcom gives us a sexy man in Sailor Chris Redfield (though his shirtless Warrior costume from Resident Evil 5 was a good one). Never before has Chris looked sexier, and the image of him kneeling on that Ooze’s butt is uh…..well, I don’t really know what to say bout that.
Jill’s Regular Costume
Before you harp on me: I get it! I love this costume and it’s completely iconic. That doesn’t mean it isn’t silly! Nothing about Jill’s costume is practical for a zombie apocalypse. Also, wouldn’t you want to stay as covered as possible just in case a zombie scratched you? And what is the point of the sweater around her waist? I need some answers people!
