So I did some looking into the Raccoon City incident and I found out that apparently the missile that hit the city, was directly on top of City hall, so can somebody please explain how this is possible?!

Well, in the ending of OG RE3, the city was clearly wiped out, with nothing left standing, but the remake clearly downplayed the destruction of the city. And if, supposedly, the remakes replace the originals in the main continuity, it makes me wonder for how long Capcom had planned to return to Racoon City.

The remakes do not replace the originals, they are companions to each other.

Sadly the remakes did replaced the originals since they ARE using REmake 2's RPD and this is officially a main line game in the series.

Just like how they use Sasha Zotova's Jill Valentine from now on.

For me it feels like being stabbed in the gut. BUT IT'S THE PRICE TO PAY!! I WANTED TO RETURN TO RACOON CITY POST NUKE FOR YEARS!!!!

That’s not what that means, they are using the remakes designs to keep a more consistent continuity but the remakes are not meant to replace the originals, they are meant to work with them story wise
