15 Greatest Resident Evil Moments Ever
7. Who's The Pilot? - Resident Evil 3
Good ol' reliable Barry Burton. He's always been there for Jill... except when he wasn't, thanks to Wesker. Okay, so he's mostly been there for Jill.
Yet in the build up to Resident Evil 3, the fate of Mr. Burton after the Arklay incident was unresolved.
Canonically, it is presumed Barry lives despite his betrayal, although we don't see him on the helicopter at the end. So when it came to Nemesis' story conclusion, we still didn't have any leads.
So imagine how relieved we were at the end of Jill's second adventure, when (if you'd done it properly) that pilot turns round to show a familiar grizzly chin.
It was later confirmed to be Burton, but for a while there was a massive ambiguity as to whether it was him.
Turns out, it was, still pulling Jill from scrapes at the last minute and giving fans some much needed closure on the goof.
We may not have seen any more from him in main games until sixteen years later, with Revelations 2, but at least we knew he was still kicking.
