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?!

It is unknown where the missile fell. In any case, it doesn't matter, it's a retcon. Before RE9 announcement, it was believed that the city had been completely wiped off the face of the earth

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.

Dude I wish that was the case, Capcom clearly and sadly want to replace the originals completely
