This is from the resident evil 1 wiki:

"Additionally, the remake features many unlockable game modes, secrets, and various endings not found in the original. It also restores the George Trevor subplot, and splices other main characters of the Resident Evil games, such as William Birkin and Alexia Ashford into the game's backstory."

Uh no. Rapeconning is not the same as restoring. William Birkin, the Ashfords, George Trevor and Lisa Trevor were never in the storyline, save for Birkin, who was put into the game in RE2 but had no listed significance until, surprise, the entire backstory for the franchise was retconned, aka rapeconned, in, starting with REmake for GC 6 years after the game came out. And the Ashfords were put in when CV came out for Dreamcast but none of it was preconceived.

You can't restore something that never existed. Show me Capcom documents that can be scientifically proven dating from 1995 when Resident Evil was in progress detailing the involvement of the Trevors in the Spencer Mansion, or Wesker being a clone, or Wesker being a colleague of Birkin, and I'll believe you. You can't because they don't exist, thus why I hate Capcom, but if you prove it then maybe.

At least they don't lie about the other things being retconned though.
