Resident Evil is my favorite game franchise. When I was a kid, I loved the attention to detail in the early games (1-3) when it came to the weapons-- I loved inspecting all the guns and reading online about the real weapons (especially RE1 with the full 3D inspect). One of the iconic series weapons is the Samurai Edge custom beretta, featured heavily in the Resident Evil 1 remake. My concept here was what if Joseph Kendo (lore nerd alert) designed another Samurai Edge for a modern/new reborn S.T.A.R.S. team? I wanted the gun to be more modern military, so my version is more Sig / M&P than beretta. I imagined it mainly as a new primary weapon for Jill Valentine, who i fictionalized as the leader of a new squad, which I dubbed 'S.T.A.R.S Eclipse Team.' The gun is intended to feel tricked out for an operator, fully kitted and featuring slide serrations and even a grippy rear slide area for racking. Also I figured lore-wise it'd be cool if Jill had earned a legit reputation after taking down the Nemesis in RE3, so Kendo dubbed her gun "Nemesis Elite."
