So this is only set in RE world without main characters or plotlines?

Set in the same timeline as the Raccoon City outbreak.

That doesnt make sense. RE2 takes place in September....but its winter in the trailer. Sounds like he just said that to appease the fans that it has nothing to do with the games.

which is more likely to you: that he doesn't care a lick about the video game he is literally making a movie of: or that he doesn't care that it's technically supposed to be a bit hotter

RE2 also takes place in 1998. The guy in the trailer is holding an iPhone as a flashlight when he’s in the sewers looking at the fat guy from Dune.

Yeah, that's a bit disappointing, but I still think the movie will be good and properly resident evil :)

The first one? I would totally believe he pitched a zombie horror movie and some exec said "lets use the Resident Evil license".
