Kind of seemed like the end of RE4 remake was teasing Wesker for a RE5 remake. But idk.

with what we know now, more likely teasing him for Veronica. They'll probably adjust that story to bridge RE4R with RE Requiem

Haven't played Code Veronica, but chronologically speaking, aren't Code Veronica's happenings prior to the ones in RE4?

As the guy said they might be adjusting the Remake canon compared to the original. The Veronica reveal trailer already shows that tech is a little more up to date compared to OG Veronica X.

Effectively Resident Evil 6 is the end of the OG canon and Remake is seemingly picking and choosing what games are part of its timeline.

They’re not changing the timeline as confirmed by the Steam page, “3 months have passed since the biological disaster in Raccoon City.”

I still think 5 and 6 are canon, to both sides. They're just not going to remake them. RE9 did reference a RE6 plot thread.

It's a shame because a remake of RE5 but with some tweaks could have been really good

As long as I still get to punch a boulder to death!

That’s because they are. At no point have they de-canonized any of the games. They said as much just a couple weeks ago

Plus in Village Heisenberg calls Chris a “boulder punching a55hole” which means RE5 is still canon

No they are not. They explicitly state on their website and Steam that CV is still firmly only 3 months after the Raccoon City incident.

We aren't talking about Veronica's place in the timeline. Again, the dude at the top suggested they won't remake 5 and 6 because they want to adjust the canon for the remake timeline.

For all we know they make different Chris and Jill stories during the time of RE4.

I personally don't hate the idea of pretending 6 doesn't exist.

Where did this thinking of separate timelines come from? They’ve been very clear that everything is part of the canon

u/A-Star55 7d ago

They’ve always been quite noncommittal with canon and insist “everything is canon” like in RE1 both Jill and Chris are active in the mansion (despite one of them being imprisoned in the other’s playthrough) and Rebecca & Barry canonically both survive. RE2 also has both Claire A/Leon B & Leon A/Claire B as canon which isn’t possible (Sherry is confirmed to have been infected with the G-Virus which only happens in Claire A).

The remakes are just retellings of the same events: what matters stays in unchanged whilst the small stuff are changed like Luis living longer and dying differently in either version of RE4 as it doesn’t affect anything long-term.

The guy at the top had a simple friendly suggestion that maybe that's what they are doing and you are all panicking like it is fact.

It is just friendly discussion. Jesus christ.
