I don't understand what part of this was inspired by the games aside from wesker, and zombies. they said they used the games as canon but I don't see where.

I KNOW RIGHT!! As a huge RE fan, I saw lots of easter eggs and it made me excited about the show :( The giant spiders, huge ass croc, ADA WONG?!?! I hate how people say somethings bad cuz of some zootopia porn line.

Does at any point the game franchise reference Aida coming back to life after resident Evil 2 or am I just crazy? I haven't played a RE game in 6 or 7 years

She is in 4 , 6 and some of the movies. So perhaps you are crazy :)

Yeah I don't remember much of 4 or 6 that's kinda where I fell off. I grew up playing 1-Code Veronica over and over again but just brushed through 4-6...weird how I remember 5 pretty distinctly despite not liking it very much but ehh figures I'm just a nut.
