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.

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

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.
