- Whats really the canon of this game?

No one knows.

Since the original game had 4 story variations, this is a Remake that brings elements from all 4 of those scenarios into 2 scenarios..

Clarie A/Leon B is probably the official canon in that it is the most coherant.

I.E: Leon reaches sewers first, so there are dogs in the basement. When Claire gets there they are dead (either by Leon or by Lickers)

Leon gets KOed in the Sewers which allows Claire to overtake him and reach the lab first and open the thing for Leon.


But in reality the scenarios don't line up probably. Things contradict each other. Not only do you fight the same bosses but characters need to be in two places at once.

Canon in Resident Evil is like the points in Whose Line Is It Anyway.

The game where everything's made up and canon doesn't matter.

Personally In my head canon Leon does most of the fighting and heavy lifting while Claire ran around trying to protect the girl.

Not out of sexism but because in canon Leon went on to do RE4 and RE6 and a ton of movies were he is a bad ass zombie fighter.

Where as Claire canonically became an anti-zombie activist trying to create political pressure and formed a group of Zombie reponse team nurses. She doesn't come across like an aggressive fighty personality.

While I'm ranting a couple of canon things they changed from the opening in the original which I don't like.

1. In the original Leon gives Claire a gun at the start. Claire was unarmed. This to me makes more sense, why the fuck is Claire, a timid young college girl walking around with a gun at a gas station?

2. In the original they were already in the city when they discovered zombies, they didn't discover zombies THEN drive in like idiots. Hell if Zombies have already left the city then America is fucked.

3. In the original Leon was late for work because he was hungover after drinking all night because he was dumped. In the new one the cops told him to stay away..... So he came a week later...? Wut....

Not sure what they were going for with those changes, they seem to all be needlessly negative.
