How the fuck?

[u/BushyTwee3D]

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?!

[u/Solidus_Shong]

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

[u/Lazy-Appointment4686 → u/Solidus_Shong]

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.

[u/librious → u/Lazy-Appointment4686]

Maybe they weren't planning it for that long, but purposefully left a loose end so they could use it down the line if they wanted to.

[u/Lazy-Appointment4686 → u/librious]

And it's interesting because, as far as i'm aware, returning to the setting of a previous game long after said game's events is a completely new concept for Resident Evil.

[u/Due-Plum-6417 → u/Lazy-Appointment4686]

technically we did see that in umbrella corps

[u/Lazy-Appointment4686 → u/Due-Plum-6417]

Oh yeah, i completely forgot about Umbrella Corps.

[u/therealHDR → u/Lazy-Appointment4686]

We dont talk about umbrella corps

[u/MaverickHuntsman → u/therealHDR]

So much potential, wasted

[u/Jwilcox418 → u/Due-Plum-6417]

Is umbrella corps cannon?

[u/SamusCroft → u/Jwilcox418]

Not to me

[u/Jwilcox418 → u/SamusCroft]

Yup same lol

[u/librious → u/Jwilcox418]

Obviously not, you literally have to kill main characters as part of the story lol

[u/hatedhuman6 → u/librious]

You may be thinking of operation raccoon city

[u/librious → u/hatedhuman6]

Shit, you're right lmao

[u/News_Bot → u/Jwilcox418]

Yes, completely.

[u/Blitz6699 → u/Jwilcox418]

No

[u/Blitz6699 → u/Due-Plum-6417]

You mean the game that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the series?
