The two games I was referring two were REmake and Zero. Zero is almost nothing but back-story in regards to the rest of the series, as it is a prequel.

Also, like it or not, some of the new material in UC is canon. Even Mr. "I know all there is to know about Biohazard and only the Japanese version of the events counts!" aka Paul will tell you that.


That depends on your point of view, really. And I didn't deny some of the new material was canon, just that the game as a whole isn't to be taken completely literally.

Now wait a minute, its the same guy?
The same guy who maybe a year or two ago was swearing up and down that events in every RE game was somehow canon in some form or another? That he had all of these sacred Japanese texts(IE untranslated archives) proving as such, and that everything in the English versions of the games was all wrong, and what have you?


The dumb parts of Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles notwithstanding, yes, all of the games apart from the cell phone games and BIOHAZARD GAIDEN are relevant to the series canon and yes, the official English translations are completely unreliable and differ greatly from the source. Please don't make me pull out examples.

Don't feed into it NB, the guy is trying to get a rise out of you. I've noticed most if not all of his posts recently are inflammatory at the very least, for the purpose of getting under someones skin. Reminds me of a few of the bottom feeders over at THIA.

Nice to know that you guys can carry on a conversation that I started without me. Anyway I still don't think that barry is the cannon one... just seems a little too convenient...


Tough luck because it is indeed the canon one. Pretty much any source you go for will tell you.

... what the hell is it with capcom and coincidences?
theres the whole claire going to the umbrella prison that just so happens to be attacked by wesker, that just so happens to have a psychotic mutant lady who just happens to thaw out of cryostasis at that exact moment in time... not to mention the fact that her father (who is a mutant) just so happens to break his bindings from where he was trapped, and just happens to have a huge battle axe that steve magically gets... and the fact that her brother happens to get to the Island a few minutes before Roddy gets eaten... ohhh did i mention the Doctor zombie who just happens to reanimate as claire walks past... Its like Capcom Lost their god damned minds thinking of coincidences... and thats not even the half of it

And what if all you go by are the English versions?

That's nothing new with storytelling.

Noboru Sugimura mostly. He's a great writer. CODE:Veronica is quite a giant coincidence though.

You forgot the coincidence about Claire being able to survive it all.

Please, remember that it's a videogame.

If you really want to complain about coincidences, read Stephin King's The Dark Tower series. Its full of coincidences, but there its usually because of Ka or Fate.

read alot of SK's books... anyway back to how coincident the RE series is... RE4 time... its coincidence that Krauser is working for Sadler to steal the Plagas power, and for Mike to show up when he did... and for Luis to lose those pills... and for ada and wesker to be involved at the same time as leon... and for Blah blah blah...
