I understand the concern, but I don’t think deleting the post is necessary. The scene is already widely viral online, so avoiding it completely is difficult regardless. Since this is a General Discussion thread, people can simply choose to ignore it if they prefer not to see spoilers
- 9,629
- 6,492
Yeah, I only recognized it because I had already seen it on social media in lower quality. Still, everyone here is free to ignore it if they don’t want to see it; it’s not that big of a deal.

A single spoiler post isn’t going to cause Capcom to take action against an entire forum, especially in a general discussion space. The video has been removed by the uploader, so it doesn't matter anyway.- 1,090

Honestly Its pretty bullshit the game got leaked this early, wouldnt be surprised if Capcom took legal action against the retailers who had It.
This also sets a terrible precedent, people complain you can't play games physical without downloading stuff, but this just shows people can't handle themselves with full access anymore.

I am personally informing Capcom of the breach, and your Ip is going to be tracked and a Mr. X is going to be delivered directly to your doorstep I fear.I think that’s a bit exaggerated

Yeah, the leak is unfortunate, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Capcom looks into retailers breaking street dates. Still, leaks usually come down to a few people ignoring release rules rather than physical copies being the issue.

This thread https://vsbattles.com/threads/the-resident-evil-remakes-are-canon.181820/ should be reopen for further discussion due of new evidence for the RE2-RE4 Remake be actual canon similar to RE1 Remake.
As not only the design of ruins of Raccoon City are clearly based on the RE2 Remake version rather than the OG, but we also get references and flashback on events that only occured in the Remake like Leon remembering Marvin, Kendo, as well as showing locations like Raccoon's Orphanage which only exist in the Remake, all of this in a mainline game.
Whether you like it or not, i don't think the argument of the new Remakes be not canon only because they're not like RE1 Remake work anymore.

It Is better to make a new thread for that because Its going to go down the way of DBS were both timelines are still going to be listed because the differences are irreconciliable.

I mean to be fair, like Resident evil canon has always been messy.
RE1 clearly happened, both Jill and Chris' campaign's clearly happened. but it's impossible for them to happen at the same time.

Yeah but this isn't the same as that at all by any means

I'm currently playing through RE9 so I'd like to avoid spoilers, but how complicated does the continuity get since RE9?
- 1,090
- 750
Not really that much RE6 is referenced and events probably went down the same, only issue is that the game lifts up elements from RE3 and 2 remakes.
Also extra characterization for a certain important character which may clash with how he was in a previous game
- 9,629
- 6,492
There is also the fact that:
Leon’s personality in RE9 doesn’t match his earlier portrayals. Instead of his usual confident and composed demeanor, he’s depicted as emotionally burdened and withdrawn, which contrasts with the resilient agent he was previously shown to be.
- 1,090
- 750
I think it’s subjective, he felt closer to his OG RE4 persona with how collected he is about everything
Ztesrxgdfjcvgkbh
He/Him- 1,207

I’m not sure about that, because OG RE4 Leon isn’t portrayed as depressed like RE4R Leon. RE9 Leon is clearly based on the more serious and emotionally burdened version seen in the remake rather than the original portrayal.
- 9,629
- 6,492
Nah, Remake Leon comes across as much more depressed and emotionally weighed down than the original version.
OG Leon in RE4 felt more relaxed and confident; almost like he was treating the mission as just another job.
- 1,090
- 750
I dunno but RE4 remake underplayed Leon’s banter against the main villains and made him feel far too serious overall but can’t tell if it’s the result of that personality being missing or the villains being played straight.
- 6,440
- 11,193
Really weird how they made Spencer of all characters have a redemption. I also feel like a lot of stuff in the story just wasn't explained as much as I probably would've liked.
- 1,090
- 750
They’re setting up things for the sequels and remakes probably.
On a side note
how do enemies scale in terms of ratings? Leon pretty much just curbstomps the game outside of a few enemies whilst nerfed.

Enough of Requiem talk, it's time for Joe Baker!

Chariot, the RE7 profiles are in rough shape, and I have no idea how much to trust them or their scaling. Or even things like ages. Halp.

Just looked at Jack's profile cause of this. Not a single calc or scan on there god damn

I could maybe help with it. I'm planning on playing 7 soon cause I'm doing a playthrough of most of the games
- 52,606

Joe at least only has like an hour of content total, he's easy enough to make.
The problem is his entire scaling revolves around shit from the main game and this is a side project for me lmfao
- 19,727
- 21,178
I'm going to help with the main goons off site in chat, prob do some calc blogs for them as well. But I'm moreso helping instead of doing it myself.
7-8 tho, I haven't played 7 since launch, that's going to be more Baken/Dale/M3X/Unknown/Eggman/other dude who just died/I forget who else fw RE, thing unless they throw shit at me to handle.
I do know some of the scaling is dogshit tho, so there's def need of replacement calcs.

I made this Jack a while back, but kinda dropped it when I dropped re7 in general. I’ll probably get around to finishing it.

Like i say before the version of Raccoon City used in RE9 its the one from RE2 & RE3 Remakes and not the original RE2 & RE3.
With locations like the RPD Police Station, Kendo's Shop, The Orphanage or the street where Leon and Claire where force to separate at the beginning of the game.
As well as Leon's callbacks be things that only occur in the Remake be from Marvin or Kendo.
And then there its also the fact that in the good ending we see the Hound Wolf Squad appear, charactes that originated from RE8.
That make things even more messy, as put into question the notion of RE7 and RE8 be canon to the original timeline or not.
Not to mention that Alyssa, a character from Outbreak also make her appearance, or that the BSAA exist too which they first appeared in RE5.
If we want to keep the Remake separated, the canonicity will have to be treated like this.
OG Timeline:
RE0 | OG RE1/RE1 Remake | OG RE2 | OG RE3 | Outbreak | Code Veronica | Survivor | Umbrella Chronicles | Darkside Chronicles | Revelations 1 | OG RE4 | RE5 | Revelations 2 | RE6 | CGI Movies | RE7 | RE8 | RE9
Remake Timeline:
RE0 | RE1 Remake | RE2 Remake | RE3 Remake | Outbreak | Code Veronica | Revelations 1 | RE4 Remake | RE5 | RE6 | RE7 | RE8 | RE9
The difference its due of the fact that events/characters in Code Veronica, Revelations, Chronicles and RE6 can't be prove to have ever occured at all, not even with slight differences.
Unsure about if the animated (CGI) movies are still counted as canon to either.
Edit: Actually Clive O'Brian its mentioned in RE7, so Revelations 1/2 could still be counter as canon to the Remake Timeline.
Another Edit: If we count RE0 then at the into the events of Code Veronica are also mentioned, so even that its canon.
Even more Edit: As reveal by Grace Report, even RE6 and RE5 are part of the storyline as mention the president's assassination as well as the Family and Tricell.

This means that either the Remakes replace the OGs in the canon, or that they are both canon simultaneously because RE has always had a loose canon anyway.
- 638
- 349
The events from RE6 are directly mentioned in RE9, with even a name drop to the Family, the group that Simmons was part of, and even the game mentions the president assassination of 2013 that happens in RE6
- 3,333
- 3,802
That's the strongest point we have, but I fear it still might not be enough for the wiki due to the Remake events being far too divergent in certain details when compared to the OG's.

You're talking about Grace's Report which you get when you finish the game? I didn't remember it.
I also took a look and yes both the Family its mention as well as the assassination of the president, it also mention both James Marcus and Edward Ashford.
As Marcus appeared in RE0, where also the events of Code Veronica are also mention.
So at this point it seen like all the mainline games of the series are still connected to the new Remakes, leaving only Chronicles series out.

The Remakes of RE1 and RE4 are so similar to the originals that i think they can be replaced, if not then they should be treated as both equally canon with probably the Remakes taking precedence over the original.
For RE2 and RE3 not only their gameplay its different but their stories do have more differences so complete replacement may be impossible, thought simply having them simultaneously canon would be for the best.
- 3,333

We could probably simply replace the OG 2-3-4 with the Remake versions, I suppose, since those are the ones being used. The other games don't have remakes yet, so there's nothing to replace.
