Old timeline>RE1/REmake (start)>RE2>RE3>RE4>RE5>RE6 (end)New timeline>REmake (start)>REmake 2>REmake 3>REmake 4>RE7>RE8>RE9Is that about right? 4, 5, and 6 may as well not exist in the story from 7 onwards, so are they just treating the newer games as their own thing?
At some point after RE2 we know the military quarantines Sherry in an old motel for a few days, Claire volunteers to stay with her, and they get it on. So it's more like:>REmake (start)>REmake 2>Claire teaches Sherry about her body>REmake 3>REmake 4>RE7>RE8>RE9I think Rebecca/Jill are in there too somewhere. Probably before the first.
I cant see REmake 1 being canon to the new timeline. It basically just starts at 2 for now until they put out a Remake of REmake
Also resident evil zero is canon
>>735120013>I cant see REmake 1 being canon to the new timeline.Why would it not be?
>>7351198927 and 8 are a continuation of the OG timeline right? in 8 they make a reference to 5.
>>735119892??? Re9 is a direct sequel to the plot points of 5 and Rev 2 you stupid bitch
The CG movies are canon
>>735120351>??? Re9 is a direct sequel to the plot points of 5 and Rev 2 you stupid bitchIn what way?
>>735121519the blood memory transfer stuff and Wesker being dead
>>735119892It has been declared
>>735121661>the blood memory transfer stuffThat's not specific to either of those games and also has nothing to do with either of those games. >and Wesker being deadIronically, RE9 never states that. At all.
>>735121519Entire game is about wesker children and resolution of Spencer , did you play it you fucking retard
>>735119892Grace's report talks about the events of 5 and 6
>>735121751>Entire game is about wesker childrenZeno has nothing to do with Project-W or the Wesker Children.>and resolution of SpencerWhich has nothing to do with 5 or Revelations 2.
Isn't it generally the old games happened but not the exact same way we saw originally?
>>735121519... What do you think all of the clones are anon? An attempt at Spencer cloning his memories into a new host? What do you think Albert was? Oh my god, exactly that? What do you think Alex was? What do you think the entire point of this game is about? Oh, just that? And the villains (one being a Wesker child) misunderstanding and misconstruing Spencer's last goal? What did you get from the Emily, Marie, Grace stuff? Why do people who have clearly never invested in the lore talk like OP?
they should move to a sliding time scale so everyone isn't so old

>>735121803Yeha anon you're right 5 and 6 and both Rev games were retconned. The clear resolution of the Wesker children plot did indeed have nothing to do with RE9.>RE5 wasn't about Spencerholy fucking shit lmao
>>735119892Taking RE canon seriously is for fools, it's never mattered in the strict way people try to approach it.
>>735121915>... What do you think all of the clones are anon?Game never actually states what they are.>An attempt at Spencer cloning his memories into a new host?I mean maybe.>What do you think Albert was? Oh my god, exactly that? What do you think Alex was?They weren't that actually. Albert and Alex were just a eugenics project for his ideal world, not so he could have a loli body or whatever.>What do you think the entire point of this game is about? Oh, just that?Game never really states that. It's actually about elpis.>And the villains (one being a Wesker child)He's not. We have the list of Wesker Children, he's not on it, and why would one have RCS when Albert was the only one in RC.Also why would he look and sound exactly like Albert? It's pretty obvious that he's an actual clone, they lay it on pretty thick.I think you're just dumb honestly. >>735121975What do you guys think the Wesker Children was? Genuinely what the fuck do you think it was?And no, RE5 wasn't about Spencer, he died before the start of the game and got a shitty little DLC where you see him for two minutes.
>>735122136Yeah anon they clearly retconned 5 and 6 out of existence you're just smarter than all of usFucking retard can't keep up with a basic story
>>735122210>Yeah anon they clearly retconned 5 and 6 out of existenceThat's not what I said though, I'm just saying they're not important here. Because they aren't.Hell, the one time 6 is invoked is to retcon it, when they say nobody knows who cleared the bombing of Raccoon City. I know who it was, because I played RE6, but apparently that's wrong now.
>>735122136>I think you're just dumbMEANWHILE>I think 5 is retconned out of existence and 5 is also not about Spencer, but please listen to me
>>735122286Wait are you the same guy?Where am I saying RE5 was retconned out of existence? I'm just saying it's not important to RE9, let alone the game RE9 is following up. Nothing that happens in RE9 requires anything more than the remakes, pretty much everything it does is brand new.
>>735119892>true canonRE1,2,3>fanfiction slopEverything else.
>>735119892requiem went out of their way to mention pic rel and sherry being a field agent, the ending of separate ways also sets up re5 so
>>735123415I GOT A SHOTGUN
>>735119892They're all from the same timelineIf you play og RE1 the plot will lead into RE2 remake without any contradictions
>>735119892The 2002 gamecube RE1 remake isn't part of the new RE engine timeline.
>>735123832Except for the part where the remake's plot contradicts the original RE2's plot
>>735125907It doesn't though
>>735126224Mr. X is a ginormous walking contradiction
>>735126275He's not though
>>735119892You had one job, Capcom. One fucking job...
>>735126321He is.In the original he's specifically sent in via helicopter to retrieve the G-Virus on orders of Umbrella.In the remake he's released from the labs to just 'kill all survivors', which makes no sense in any version of the RC storyline, including the remake one, as the blockade was already up and Umbrella was harvesting combat data in the OG, and they genuinely wanted to save people per the remake of 3.There's other things as well, like how the underground lab is now underneath the city instead of in the forest (which is why you took several trams to reach it), Ada's demise not lining up with any version of the RE2 storyline as it is retold in other titles, Leon not even being aware of Ada's survival despite knowing she's alive come RE4, Irons wants Sherry's pendant for reasons that aren't explained or even elaborated on, etc etc etcThere's also general locational inaccuracies, like the orphanage itself, which both makes no sense in existing lore and didn't exist in the original.
>>735126495X has orders to retrieve the G Virus and eliminate survivors in both gamesYou also take a tram from the sewers to the lab in the remake
>>735123832That's like saying the plot from the first Spiderman comic from 1963 leads right into Ultimate Spiderman 2. Completely different timelines. Different lore, different aesthetics, different everything.
>>735129061Nope, they're very careful to make sure that the key plot points and outcomes service each other no matter what version you play
>>735121970Dead Aim and Survivor 1 are canon.
>>735120013>I cant see REmake 1 being canon to the new timeline.The arklay mountain outbreak is so inconsequential to the overarching plot that there's no reason to make REmake non-canon. I'm 90% certain that RE2 remake was made with consideration of REmake being canon, because at the time Capcom had no plan to remake RE1 a second time.
>>735129175>that the key plot points and outcomes service each otherWhich is not enough. Because they still look like two completely different things. Which is fine. I'm not against the RE engine games being a different timeñine but pretending that the games can be interchangeable is retarded.
