and it was over... so what happened to billy?

15 Min? It's WAAAAYYYY more than that. RE0 ends in what looks like about 8:00 AM and RE1 begins at like 10:00PM. Rebecca probably got to the mansion at 9:00AM and just started hanging out there for a while (maybe even sleeping).

I dont think we'll see Billy, Becky, Jill, Chris, Claire or anyone like that in RE4. Doing that would kinda overdue their sugnificants. (Although I wouldn't mind the last two returning ^^).

Especially Billy wont be in it, there's really no way he can aid in the fight with Umbrella because if anyone other than Rebecca sees him he's in some deep spit! He's a convict, I think that's enough reason for him not to return. Like Becky said, to the world Billy Coen's no longer alive.

Let's not forget that RE4 takes place really far away from RE0. And the chances of Billy somehow managing to move to another country undetected, get involved with an Umbrella incident (if he was smart he'd just stay the hell away from umbrella) meet Leon, become best of friends with him, and kick zombie butt togeather.

...then again, a buncha stuff in RE seems to be one bigass couincidence I guess. ^^;

Not really. It'd be really plotless and boring. Kinda dull only playing as one character and not really doing anything other than running through the forest shooting stuff.

Oh come on, what are the chances Nemmy is an RE character that has something to do with the plot? He's probably just some bum or random person Umbrella kidnapped and mutated. Sheesh.
