I understand your logic but, again, I think this two timelines stuff is just overcomplicating stuff. Its all more thanks to this series never sticking to a tone and style for very long.

Usually RE goes through trilogies.

The OG trilogy that was focused on more B-movie horror
The Action-horror trilogy that was more focused on action while TRYING to keep a horror-ish tone (at least with 4)
and at last
The FPS Trilogy (or Ethan trilogy if you prefer that) that brings the horror tone from the OG trilogy back but in a more refined manner whilest also trying to keep a tiny bit of the action from the previous trilogy.

If the franchise will change against after RE9, Im not sure. It is a winning strategy and lord knows Capcom milks one until its dry once they find one.

Well, the current timeline for me is REmake, RE0, RE2 Remake, RE3 remake, Code Veronica, the upcoming RE4 Remake, RE5, the Revelations games, RE7 and RE8.

What most of those have in common is a pretty consistent level of graphical quality, REmake and RE0 still look great even 20 years later, 5 and the Revelations games may not look as good as the later RE engine 3D games, but it's not AS big of a gap as from the PS1 to the RE engine games, the only odd man out is Code Veronica but CV is too important a part of the lore not to include in any RE universe and it's at least full 3D, so still a little closer to the later games than the PS1 entries, hopefully though Capcom will see fit to give it a remake one day too though.

I don't know, it just makes sense to me, we got the Prime, original timeline and the divergent secondary timeline.

On a side note, thinking about it I'm not sure if you could include the Outbreak games in the secondary timeline, since you revisit so many locales from the Prime timeline like the original underground lab, the original police station and the original hospital, plus Raccoon City simply looks more like in the original games than what we saw in the remakes, but Alyssa is referenced in 7, so at least some version of those characters and events exist, but even in Outbreak itself what's "canon" is super vague since every ending depends on the character you pick (but we all the know the canon route is my girl Cindy)

Im more invested in their fighting game collection since a huge draw is the two Darkstalkers games and there is the hope back that, if it sells, Capcom will finally stop blue balling us a new Darkstalkers game.

Its amazing how they stick with Street Fighter and yet dont get that new Darkstalkers has the potential of making more cash than another ST entry.

The fact Capcom constantly references it is evidence to me that even people within Capcom want another Darkstalkers game and its just simply a matter of the higher ups actually going for it.

Then again, it might all lead to nothing like usual. And even if we get another Darkstalkers, almost no one involved with the first two would be involved so it could just be mediocre.

I'm almost glad what happened with Darkstalkers happened and that we'd get a new game with the RE engine and not the MT Framework engine assuming Capcom does eventually bring it back.

I'd like to see EVERY Capcom series get a new entry with the RE engine, imagine an Onimusha, a Dino Crisis, a Haunting Ground, a Dead Rising, a Mega Man, hell, even a Phoenix Wright all rendered in the RE engine.

1, 2, and 3 are the only canon REs in my headcanon.

Why not include Code Veronica? CV marks the end of the old, old original series, back when it was pretty cheesy, before the productions values were really kicked up with REmake and RE0.

Yeah but 4 is the fun one you accept because it has a giant, nonsensical statue of Napoleon that chases you across a bridge that makes even less sense.

This is why I don't include the original 4 in either of my headcanon timelines, sorry, but stuff like that is simply too ridiculous to imagine it's the same world as the earlier, more serious games.

RE4 is best taken as it's own thing, just call it "Parasite Evil" and imagine it's something spun off from or inspired by and with similarities to Resident Evil, but still a different series, kind of like Devil May Cry or Dead Rising.

Just ignore the prologue and assume Leon and Ada are characters with mysterious backstories like the way the game introduces Krauser without us really knowing what his deal is, looking at it that way allows me to appreciate the game more for what it is than compare it to the others.

As for Wesker's cameo at the end, just imagine a thick black mustache on his face and he's really "Senor Weskergo", infamous Mexican crimelord.

How about you just kill yourself you scum sucking faggot?
 
Just got trough my first playtrough of lost in nightmarezs, the DLC of RE5.(I never finished back on the 360)

I got to say, that is the first game that sets up an upcomming game (revalations 2) by mentioning Alex and her working on a virus to make oneself immortal, I think this is the first that it sets up a character years in advance.
The DLC is okay, but "a mansion that is made to look like spencer mansion" is done like, 4 times in the series already?
It also at least builds up suspense quite well.

I didn't finally play Lost In Nightmares until last year, I'm glad I did as it's better than the main game of 5, this is what all of 5 should have been about, Chris and Jill infiltrating Spencer estate.

Yes it's kind of lame that it's modeled so closely after Spencer Mansion, but it's still cooler than anything in the main game, it's just too bad it's so short.

And yeah, I was surprised to see Alex clearly being set up even though she wouldn't appear for another 5 years.

It was a long post, but I was trying not to over complicate things, to boil it down I just look at it as two timelines, the original one which is everything prior to 4, and then all of the RE engine games but including REmake and I guess RE0, CV, RE5 and the two Revelations games, but primarily it just makes sense to me to connect 7 and 8 to the remakes of 2 and 3, given they all share the same graphics engine, came out around the same time and it makes it all more tonally and stylistically consistent than imaging the PS1 games are literally the same universe as 7 and 8.

7 was essentially a soft reboot of the franchise.

I have been noticing a shift in tone over the years, from wacky cheese to dark, grindhouse and gritty. Ive got no problem with it, but RE feels more like it's shifted styles then outright changed the continuity. For example a "family" like organization is indirectly mentioned in RE8 as supplying Heisenberg. They might never call it the Family again, but they'll allude to a shadowy organization and give it another name. Feels like a "have cake and eat it" situation.

Now with the RE4 remake, we are at something of a tipping point though. I dont know how far they want to go with it, but I would honestly prefer them to go buck wild and try something new.

I'm really hoping RE4 Remake is going to turn out to be pretty much an all new game and a "correction" for RE's lore, more inspired by the original versions of the game than the final one.

Because really, at this point they've re-released RE4 so much who cares about the same game but with better graphics? Who honestly wants to play through the same basic game again?
 
I feel like I speak for all when I say we would gladly wait one more year for REmake 3 if it meant we got a better game from it

My biggest issue with resident evil village is the fact there's no God damn item box.

I didnt play 8 yet but Im legit surprised by that.


What you mean there is no fucking item box? Tho maybe keep the answer in this case until I play it.

Im waiting for the inevitable DLCs to just by the "complete" edition at once
