Resident Evil: Resistance is "not actually canon", confirms Capcom

Capcom admits Resistance Evil: Resistance would be "impossible to fit in the actual timeline" of the wider Resi-verse

www.gamesradar.com

In a new interview with Official PlayStation Magazine, Resident Evil 3 producer Peter Fabiano clarified that Resistance is "basically set in Raccoon City with scenarios that make it impossible to fit in the actual timeline", even while players can expect to "see familiar enemies and characters like Mastermind."

Fabiano continued to explain that Resistance's connection to Resident Evil 3 is purely thematic, explaining why Capcom decided to bundle the pair together as one package, rather than releasing the two titles separately.

"You’ll remember that the Japanese subtitle for RE3 was Last Escape," Fabiano tells OPM. "Both of these titles have characters that are trying to escape somewhere or something, so thematically it made sense. We also wanted to take up the challenge of building out an online game set in the RE universe."

Oh, and in case you're wondering, no; Capcom didn't build a real life Nemesis to then incorporate his design into Resident Evil 3 through photogrammetry. Instead, Fabiano clarifies that the team "went through a number of different concepts before the director settled on the current Nemesis. Then it was up to the Art Director to bring the vision to life in Z Brush and then have it modeled in Maya (both 3D tools)."

Big shock!
Seriously cannon obsessed idiots ruin everything.

 

[Elektro Demon]

I really don't care if it's cannon or not.
People who care about this should consider getting into therapy.

 

[MasterDerico]

I don't understand the point of that mode, and so much marketing for it.

I fear it's because RE3 is short and they need to throw stuff to make the game bigger.

Gimme mercenaries mode and get rid of that watered down RE Outbreak.

Feels like a stealth games as a service game but

No shit! The concept is ridiculous, even by RE standards!

I mean Resident Evil is basically entirely Soft Canon anyway. Stuff is constantly being retconned, even when the new version contradicts events that are supposedly still "canon".

I wish Capcom would confirm that Poison is biologically female.

 

[nuttyevans]

I hope I can download the single player game and never have to download this along with it tbh, looks awful.

I wish Capcom would confirm that Poison is biologically female.

Tryna turn guilty faps into non-guilty ones?

I wish Capcom would confirm that Poison is biologically female.

Don't think that's gonna happen. Pretty sure her original Final Fight artwork has says she's a New-Half. That would mean that not only was she born a man, she likely still has a dick. There are a lot of japanese characters who are misinterpreted as trans (Naoto Shirogane and Chihiro Fujisaki immediately come to mind), but Poison is legitimately trans as she was changed in the design phase.
