@Maddy7 , there is a reason nobody here is agreeing with you. Because it's not an opinion based debate. These are facts...Everyone else here seems to understand that. I could throw out famous people I've talked to as well. I can tell you about the whole night I spent talking to Vic Mignogna about politics...Does it really matter? Name dropping to impress (Especially over the internet) is rather worthless...There's an old saying that states, "Numbers don't lie, people do." Rather fitting seeing as the numbered RE games takes precedence over Chronicles, and REmake is canon over RE1.
And, the fact that you have me almost agreeing with The Darkening Sea (We have a history of not seeing eye to eye on ANYTHING) is amazing. No ones been able to do that thus far...So...Good job on that...
Now, the creators can state anything they like about their own work, but they shouldn't expect their creations to be taken as intelligent, valid, or acceptable by fans (and the critics).
