Even if Capcom didn't plan anything with the writing and Project W wasn't a thing until RE5, I still love the fact that the reveal recontextualizes Wesker's line to Chris in RE1:
It's meant to be all smug he's like "I've always been with Umbrella 😏" But now knowing Wesker's backstory it's quite a sad and ironic line. Like he really has always been with Umbrella... This is one of my roman empires my guy thought he was chilling as Dr. Frankenstein when instead, he was actually Frankenstein's monster.
I must point out at no point in these Umbrella Chronicles novel scenes did Chris actually meet or speak to Wesker. Hoe regularly talks to himself about Chris in canon.
Also need it known that Jill was there for the Tyrant Confrontation and is fighting alongside Chris the whole damn time.
I hope the remakes keep "Wesker ignores all women and refuses to speak to them for Chris" because it's funny and iconic.
“Where’s he now?” Chris asks, keeping his tone carefully neutral. Piers would be lying if he said he didn’t detect the faintest hint of jealousy in those low spoken words. How ridiculous, he thinks. To be jealous of yourself.
