* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: To be fair, ''Survivor's'' plot isn't exactly [[SoOkayItsAverage AWFUL]], but the "hero is a heroic cop/agent/some-sort-of-authority-figure" style had been done for the entire series up to this point with exception of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Claire]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Redfield]] in her games, being a college student caught up in the madness. The story is set up to make the player believe, albeit a little flimsily, that Ark is an amnesiac Vincent. It actually would have been a rather intriguing premise to have Ark actually been an Umbrella worker now having to survive the madness he helped cause and follow him on a journey of exploration of who he is and if he could be redeemed from the man he was, especially since this game also showed that the seemingly {{Always Chaotic Evil}} Umbrella did actually draw the lines at certain evils, so playing an ex-Umbrella personnel who has to face an outbreak in this manner would have made for a more interesting narrative. Unfortunately, the plot resolving this whole issue with Lott telling Ark that he's a detective sent to investigate Vincent causes everything to somewhat fizzle out and makes Ark feel a lot more flat than he could have been.
