Discuss what you believe to be the 'official story', per se, in the first game.
According to the Resident Evil Wiki;
http://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Canon
But that still leaves a lot open to interpretation.
For example;
-Who entered the mansion initially?
-Was Richard eaten by the Yawn or the Neptune?
-Who is with Enrico just before he's killed?
-Who did battle with Lisa Trevor?
Personally, I believe the most fitting way would be mash-up of the two scenarios.
I believe Jill, Barry and Wesker entering the estate, and then searching for Chris, who gains entry through the front door, only at a later time works best.
I also think that in terms of character development,I think Jill exploring the Guardhouse and Chris going straight to the underground caves works best. Thus, he witnesses Enrico's murder, and subsequently Wesker returns to the residence where he could encounter Barry and Jill. Ultimately, Jill ends up in the caves though, since she's betrayed by Barry down there.
If that's the case, then not having she and Barry battle Lisa creates a feeling of irresolution, in my opinion. It could also work, because hypothetically you could say that after Lisa's defeated the scene cuts to Chris, and Barry captures Jill and places her in the holding cell.
Anyway, what does everyone here think!
According to the Resident Evil Wiki;
Jill's file in Resident Evil 5 states that she and Chris operated separately during the first game's events. However, there seems to be more of a focus on Chris since Wesker hates Chris and focuses more on him than other characters.
Chris finds Richard and Rebecca (Rebecca is absent in Jill's scenario).
Richard's fate is either being eaten by the Yawn or being eaten by the Neptune.
Wesker kills Enrico Marini.
Barry is threatened into helping Wesker betray the S.T.A.R.S..
Rebecca gets lost, but manages to follow Chris eventually down to the laboratory.
Wesker shoots Rebecca and points the gun at Chris.
Wesker activates the Tyrant T-002 but is impaled and killed by it.
Rebecca reveals she was wearing bullet proof armor.
Rebecca would survive the first Tyrant confrontation and follow Chris who meets up with Jill.
Chris kills the Tyrant with assistance from Brad.
Chris, Jill, Barry, and Rebecca escape aboard Brad's helicopter.
Wesker is revived by Birkin's virus and gains superhuman abilities.
