Dead Aim marks the latest in the survivor series. In Japan the game was known as ‘Biohazard: Gun Survivor 4 – Heroes Never Die’, but was changed to Resident Evil Dead Aim in Western regions as the previous Survivor games sold very badly.

The game itself has done moderately well, and is deserving of the praise it’s often labelled. Outside the combat system it’s a very traditional Resident Evil game, its third person. You go around hunting for keys and exploring rooms, whilst dodging creatures. Only when you initiate combat does the game go into a first person light gun shooting game, but thankfully – that aspect of the game works well this time.

It took a long time, and 4 games getting here. But Dead Aim really is getting there with what Capcom tried to do with Survivor all those years ago. The key here is the effort, the production values are high. It has good voice acting, superb FMV, decent graphics and the controls are intuitive and responsive, (controller and gun alike). The web domains for Dead Aim 2 and Dead Aim 3 have been bought by Capcom so we can only hope for more Dead Aim games in the future, though whether they will be direct sequels to this game, or separate chapters in the Resident Evil universe, remains to be seen.

Intelligence Operations Manual

Good morning, Bruce:
This time, your target is a former executive of Umbrella named Morpheus. This man has stolen the “t-virus” and hijacked Umbrella’s cruiser. Your mission is to infiltrate the cruiser and report the status immediately to the Base of Strategic Forces. We’ve prepared some equipment for you to review. Good Luck.

ITEMS
Your standard equipment consists of a handgun and some recovery items for first-aid. However, you will find other useful items during the mission.

Some of them are essential items you will need to proceed like keys for locked doors and special tools. Also, by using the Sneak Move, you will be able to locate items more easily.

VITALITY
Every time you receive damage, your status will vary as follows:

FINE > CAUTION > DANGER

View the Status Screen (Press the START button) and keep your status at FINE with the recovery items.

POSITION
If you fight against two or more enemies at close range, you will almost certainly be damaged. Therefore, if you are surrounded by enemies, move quickly to keep enough distance between you and them and then target them.

In case you are cornered, use the “Escape button” to evade.

SHOOTING
Your amount of ammo is limited. Therefore, do not shoot more than is necessary and always aim for the enemy’s fatal spot.

Although the number of bullets you can carry is limited, you can re-supply indefinitely.

Emergency FAX from Paris Branch

Date: Sep. 18, 2002
To: Int’l Sales Division
ATTN: Roberto

Today three “t-virus” samples have been stolen from this Paris lab.
Our prime suspect is Morpheus D. Duvall, who belonged to the R&D division of HQ.

His motivation appears to be based upon retaliation against our company.
Therefore, we are sending out this general warning to all divisions.
Anyone who obtains any information regarding this matter should contact HQ immediately.

Regards,
Umbrella Corporation, Paris

———————————————————————————————————————–

Regular Report No. 1162

TO: HQ Int’l Investigation Dept.
ATTN: O’Neal

This will be my final report on Morpheus for a while since it appears that he is starting to suspect something.

Until further notice from me, please refrain from contacting me, so that I can devote myself to doing my “Regular” job as his aid.

After robbing the lab in Paris, Morpheus appears to be preparing to board “The cruiser” to auction the items.

His obsession with “The beauty” keeps escalating. And just recently he has undergone plastic surgery to retain his youthful looks.

He often says questionable phrases like, “I will eliminate the ugly things in the world and create my kingdom filled with beauty”.

We need to take action against him before it becomes too late, since he’s currently in negotiations with several countries including the United States.

P.T.

———————————————————————————————————————–

Admin Report 9/16/2002

We will begin the facility improvements today.

The handle to open and close the hatch for pool drain on 1F is quite rusty and should be replaced.

We’ll keep the current one in the storage of 1F just in case.

Waiter’s Letter

Sep. 14, 2002

Brother,

How’s Everything?
My life has taken a turn for the better because I’m on a luxury cruiser…
Well actually, I work as a waiter on a cruiser.

Most passengers are well known and I’ve seen them before on TV.
My colleague told me that they came from various countries to discuss business and that a world famous drug company owns this cruiser.

Anyway, I’m doing fine.

Take care of mother for me.

Love to all,

Joseph Carter

Freight Crewman’s Diary

Aug. 27 (Tue), 2002

Yes! Today is my 100th day anniversary since coming aboard.
But that’s all I can write about since this place is so boring!
I expected a lot because this is a “Luxury cruiser”, but
I’ve learned that there is almost no difference from working on a cargo vessel…

Sep.4 (Wed), 2002

I finally have something to write about. Today large cargo was carried into the Presentation room, which is beyond the Boiler room. Recently, many people have been going in and out of that room.

I wonder what’s taking place there? I’m curious because the crew doesn’t have access to that room…

Sep.6 (Fri), 2002

I saw a red mark through a break in the sheet of one of the cargo crates today. I think it’s a symbol for biological and chemical weapons.

Somehow passengers are still going in and out of that room. Maybe there is a hidden door in that room, but I’m not sure where it would lead…

Sep.7 (Sat), 2002

My boss yelled at me today for not paying enough attention to my job. What a jerk! But, I’d better be more careful since I really need to keep this job…

Research Report #220329

This special “Elite” version has been modified for presentation.
It is faster and more powerful than a standard Hunter.

This sample was created with a newly developed virus.
It attacks objects with its huge arms.
While its agility and striking power are outstanding, it currently has a fatal flaw because an essential organ is exposed. However, this will be rectified in future models.

[WARNING]

STRICT SECURITY: ACCESS RESTRICTED.

We have succeeded in fusing the “t-virus” and the “G- virus” so that it has electrical properties.

However, after observing the prototype known as [T-091], we have to concede that there is much room for improvement.

In this newest version (ver.0.9.2), we have finally been able to achieve a high voltage current, which was our initial goal. Its electromagnetic barrier should make it near invulnerable.

Now we require a human test subject that matches the conditions to experiment on and observe.

Dismissal Notice

Date: August 20, 1998
To: R&D Division
ATTN: Mr. Morpheus D. Duvall

Upon investigation, we have concluded that you are responsible for the incident in Raccoon City on May 11, 1998. Your services with this company are hereby terminated.

However, your nondisclosure agreement shall remain in effect. Finally, your final paycheck will be fulfilled in accordance with the “Dismissal Procedure” portion of your agreement.

Regards,

Umbrella Corporation.

Ship’s Log

Sep.20th (Fri), 2002

It will be four months tomorrow since the Spencer Rain left port.

I’m proud that we have been having a safe voyage so far. A representative from Umbrella, the owner of the cruiser, spoke words of appreciation to me.

Sep.21st (Sat), 2002

Something is strange. Although the crew reports “nothing special”, I am concerned that “The ones” may be breaking free.

I will make sure to always have my Magnum pistol with me.

Sep.22nd (Sun), 2002

I can’t send a signal for rescue. What should I do?
The passengers and crew are all dead now…

All I can do is accept what has been happening on my ship as my destiny.

Operator’s Notebook

June 16th, 1997

One month has passed since I was dispatched here.
I am astounded at the sloppy supervision of this Umbrella waste disposal facility. It’s not surprising that this accident happened.

I know that if I must die, I want to die as a human…

June 24th, 1997

The supervisor here called Morpheus is so annoying. He drives me nuts.

He must pay more attention to worker health management and biological weapons that anyone I have ever met. This facility belongs to Umbrella, but he obviously doesn’t think so…

I have no idea how long I’ve been here. I don’t wanna stay in this facility,

But I can’t move.

My body won’t move…

———————————————————————————————————————–

Biological Report 1

This is a survey report on the changes to the B.O.W.s which have been considered failures and disposed of in this facility.

April 7th

The unknown water creatures are increasing rapidly, primarily in the drainage ditch. Since their body fluid contains strong acids, they are extremely dangerous to touch. I named them “Torpedo Kids”, since they swim like torpedoes.

April 9th

I have learned that there is a mother that spawns all of the “Torpedo Kids”.

If I can find this mother and kill her, I will be able to exterminate all creatures in this area.

April 16th

I decided to try and exterminate the “Torpedo Kids”, and so I explored the drainage ditch in order to destroy their mother. However, the “Torpedo Kids” appeared to try and protect their mother and badly injured me. Now they’ve extended their territory to my place, so I must find a way to get rid of them…

———————————————————————————————————————–

Biological Report 2

This is a survey report on the changes to the B.O.W.s which have been considered failures and been disposed of in this facility.

May 18th

Today I will relocate the observation area to be underground. This area is low on power and so most areas are very dark.

I assume creature’s fond of dark places must inhabit this area.

May 19th

We saw red shining objects. They look like the eyes of some creature but we have not confirmed the entity yet. It moves extremely quickly and runs away as soon as we approach.

I named this creature “Glimmer”, for its glimmering eyes.

May 20th

In order to collect samples, I had some workers go and try to capture a “Glimmer”. However, the plan did not work out and instead, the target attacked them and two people are now dead.

May 22nd

I increased the number of workers in order to try and capture a “Glimmer”. This time they succeeded in shooting down one of them. According to workers, the “Glimmer” will open itself up just before it goes to attack. Although it is dead, I have gained valuable samples.

June 1st

I have been examining the collected samples but I don’t have any idea as to how the “Glimmer” evolved and transformed into this figure. It seems it is a subspecies of “Hunter”. I, however, need to research this further…

———————————————————————————————————————–

Experiment Alpha Log

Sep. 26th, 1996

Today we will begin the experiment. The subject is a condemned criminal called “Alpha”. It has been one month since the subject was transported to this facility. He is not exactly aware of what is going to happen to him.

However, he seems to be very frightened…

Day 1: Commence Experiment

We hammered a metal rod into the subject’s frontal lobe in order to alleviate some of the pain. This was done only for humanitarian reasons.

Day 4: Removal of Eyeballs

We have removed the eyeballs in order to observe its reactions to external stimulation.

Day 14: Dose of Muscle Booster

After administering the muscle booster, we confirmed the unusual development of the muscles. It gained a drastic amount of weight before the treatment. In the future we will consider using hampering items…

Day 36: Sharpened Hearing

An effect of the eyeball removal procedure has been an enhanced sense of hearing. It recognizes precisely where a sound originates and its distance from that sound.

Day 41: Experiment Suspended

The experiment has been suspended due to the fact that the subject has escaped. Even without its vision, the subject is quite dangerous.

We should use extreme care not to make sounds when we try to capture it.

———————————————————————————————————————–

Architect’s Memo

We have completed construction on the missile base. I assume that HQ doesn’t know that this facility is operating and is under Morpheus’s control.

Furthermore, even though I am only an architect, I’m concerned about how this facility will be used. Morpheus tends to go too far after the Raccoon incident.

———————————————————————————————————————–

Research Report #220120

A being that has an external skeleton of a horseshoe crab and the survival power of a cockroach. We have confirmed that its ecology is similar to ants and/or bees, which have been known to work in groups.

———————————————————————————————————————–

Orders from Morpheus

I have arrived and have begun the plan.

I need you to make sure all the instrument panels work properly. The facility is on strict alert and you will need to input my voice to the voice recognition panel at the entrance of the clean room in order to enter the Research Area and check the instrument panels.

I’ve sent an e-mail containing my voice. You can receive it on a terminal in the residence area. Be sure to delete the e-mail after your work is complete and remember to keep this confidential.

Morpheus

Charged Particle Rifle User’s Manual

A charged particle rifle that was developed to cope with any biohazard that was caused by the “t-virus”.

It is based on a particle acceleration device, which virus researchers use for gene manipulation and decomposing molecules. By hitting accelerated particles, it induces physical destruction on the molecular level.

The weapon can penetrate barriers of electric discharge and give damage to the target. Currently we have confirmed this on animal experiments only. However, we are confident that this weapon can damage “tG” charged beings. Remember that this weapon has limited usage because it requires a lot of power. Make sure that you properly charge it before you decide to use it.

Morpheus’s Journal (Thoughts on My Kingdom)

The symbol of power is in Africa…

The symbol of knowledge is here in the Bio-Sphere…

The symbol of beauty is mine…

The beauty controls everything and I shall dominate it…

Establishing a kingdom where beauty has absolute authority is the dream, which I must make a reality. I was disappointed by Umbrella’s betrayal, but that’s fine, I’ll just use them in return. If I secure enough funds,

I will materialize the construction of my kingdom deep in Africa.

Morpheus D. Duvall
