Images from earlier versions of RE5 show that Sheva was in the game even back when the game was still a single player one. She was still Chris' partner in the journey (although she wasn't from BSAA), but as a NPC rather than playable character.
Never heard this before, link?
Got any specific examples?
Resident evil 2 and many of the events surrounding it, here's one example:
There's a file in RE2 and states that there was a road block/barricade(s) surrounding Raccoon City to keep people from going in, but was being overrun and was abandoned. You see one of these very barricade(s) being set up in Resident Evil Outbreak.
However, in Resident Evil: Degeneration, there's a scene were the films villain, Curtis Miller, is trying to get get back into Raccoon City to get to his family in a flashback, but low and behold there's an armed barricade stopping him. Capcom can never decide if the city had road blocks/barricades around it or not.
That's not even the bad part though, in RE2 Leon and Claire just waltz into town having no idea what's happened to the city. Leon is enough of a goody-good to show up to town IN UNIFORM AND ARMED before ever even setting foot in the police department he works for, but he wont call or communicate with his superiors/co-workers before hand? How could be possibly have no idea what was going on when it was national news? What happened to Raccoon City didn't happen overnight either, so his lack of communication just seems more and more unlikely and stupid. Think about when 9/11 happened, the entire world immediately knew about it. Something on the scale of Raccoon City would not go unnoticed by many people, let alone a goddamn police officer moving to the same city. Claire could maybe get a pass about not knowing about what was going on in the city being a dumb college kid and all, but I highly doubt it.
Also, Leon's not even on duty yet either, he's never even been to the damn city before, isn't the police department supposed to be the ones to give him his uniform and gun? The idea that a police officer could show up in the city he's about to work for and have no idea of the fucking shitstorm going on is laughable.
Admittedly that's far more detail than I should have bother to go into in this thread, but it's always annoyed me. That said it's also far from Resident Evil's biggest problems in terms of story/plot/characters. How about that virtually every RE character is just an archetype and nothing more?
