    Moving the location of RE2s ending scene, placing the mission 7 after RE2. I've not checked the timing of anyting in ORC much.

      I imagine they would just say that the train tracks from Birkin's lab led to the train yard. We don't really know how much time passed between the ending of RE2 and when Leon and Sherry were picked up by the US government.

        • Realistically? Probably not. But then I'm not very uptight about the canon, certainly not in regards to specific dates, times, etc.

            ...the thing has a lot of heath, you were shooting the weak points right, and actually hitting them (they erupt in a glow of light each hit). The one on top is hard to hit.
            Yes, I destroyed one of his weak spots in the back and he popped the one close to the heart. After that he never switched even with me shooting everything I had in it. After a while the sound and music glitched as well so I simply quit and did everything from the beginning.

            Also it's not possible to run out of ammo because there are two infinite ammo boxes and health pops all over the place.

              Ah, I got the date's confused. However, it appears to be Four Eyes who releases the Tyrants, even though it is established that they were dropped in by Sergei Vladimir.

              That's not counting the simple fact that "SPEC OPS FIELD UNIT" does not exist in the BIO world. The team sent to the city in the background story of BH3 are Green Berets. Actual Special Forces, not made-up clowns. And they all die (some escape and are killed in the hospital).

              I'm sure the BH2 ending scenes play out fine when they're still in the city.

              There is no train yard in Raccoon City. There's just the tram station. The only train service in the city is the subway. That's another inconsistency in ORC.

                That's borderline irrelevant when you consider that Capcom has added things to Raccoon City with each subsequent game, whether or not they were originally intended to be part of the city.

                The Outbreak games, in particular, expanded the size of the city almost exponentially.

                  Outbreak doesn't expand the size of the city, actually. Not very much, anyway. It works within the limits of the map that was drawn up for BH3, the same map being used in Outbreak itself (and the map itself is only a rough outline). All of the areas in Outbreak are actually just places that were introduced on the map, which includes the zoo and university. That was the purpose of the game to begin with; to show the rest of the city. The "train yard" in ORC is actually seen in Outbreak, but it's exclusively for trams/cable cars. The city had no overground train service, only underground. We didn't see very much of the city in BH2 and BH3.

                  The Raccoon City in ORC bears no resemblance to the city's actual design. While it was changed for gameplay reasons, it is irrelevant.

                  I'm actually hesitant to call anything in ORC an "inconsistency" since it's not really meant to be consistent with anything. Its in its own world/canon/universe/setting/timeline/blablabla. It has no connection to the main series.

                  • I think ORC is probably the only Resident Evil title in the series that made me less excited with every new gameplay trailer released. I was so excited when it was annouced, so many thoughts went through my head at wat this could mean, a UBCS campaign that is cannon and made by Capcom was one of those dreams.

                    I agree with everyone else who says it's a fun multiplayer and co-op game but nothing else. ORC has such a lack of quality to it that it actually hurts, that Capcom quality we are use to just was not there. A simple example of this is the first RE6 trailer scene with Leon and the Zombie president, the difference in that Japanese charm and quality was just not there with ORC as much as I wanted it to be.

                      • The PC port is actually nicely done, the controls use the Keyboard and Mouse as you would expect and my experience with it has been good.

                        • Its fine, I had to put everything at min because my pc couldnt handle it without lagging. But its fine. I also had a bug where I ended up falling from the plataform in the lab so I had to restart


                          BTW, On a off-topic question was it ever said how did Claire and Leon end up in the same side in DSC? Watching the video in ORC made me wonder that

                            You mean how did they get on the same side of the crash in Darkside? They met at the crash site, they were never in the police car in that story.

                            • Is it true that you can play as the Heroes in campaign in the PC version? Without mods that is.
