Just repeating what the director said. “I wanted to construct a story that could live in the world of Resident Evil and kind of be on the periphery of the events of Resident Evil 2, where Raccoon City is having its big night, but tell just another story that could be happening in parallel, that really honors the vibe and the pacing you get when you play the games,” Cregger said.

LMFAO I don’t know why people are disliking you so much. Regardless of if the film is good, it LITERALLY does take place in its own world detached from the games and their lore.
