The reason capcom were thinkin about rebooting was because 6 messed up a lot of the story and after all the plot holes that were filled in RE5, 6 just felt like it pretty much ignored the entire story that came before it. People give 5 **** but it still had the core RE story, it dated back to the progenitor virus being extracted from flowers in africa, it closed wesker and spencers story which had been explored in RE0, and chris and jill were reunited. Re6 felt like its own thing with all the new characters and the godamn ada cloning, and weskers suddenly got a grown up son that had never even been mentioned, even though capcom had a perfect villain to use in Alex. I feel like 6 could be removed from the canonical timeline and not much would be lost. Revealtions 2 was a pretty good effort considering that capcom had to work the story to be canonical with 6 while also making it connect to the other games. I dont see any reason to reboot now, as long as they dont get too ambitious again like they did with 6.
