News Bot : I was more talking about the cohesion than the relevance of each title.
I know all of what you're saying, but I think that putting RE3 between RE2 and RECV breaks something in terms of narrative and design. RE3 feels more like an add on to RE2 than a true sequel. RECV, on the contrary, follows RE2 story more naturally. There is plenty of throwbacks to RE2 in terms of design aswell (monsters sound, music, etc...)
I also think it's better to put RE0 after RECV and not before RE1. Despite being set chronologically before RE1, the story of the game expands on Umbrella's origins just like RECV. It works better that way, I think.
I also think that Remake doesn't necessarily replace the original RE. All sequels seem to borrow gimmicks from RE1 rather than Remake. Small details like the STARS picture in RE2, sounds of Umbrella's computers in RE5 and now Barry's look and voice in REV2 seem to be throwbacks at the original RE rather than Remake.
Not just the story, but as far as graphics and designs are concerned you also get a very good sense of progression with RE1 -> RE2 -> RECV -> RE0.
Considering all of this, RE3 is a bit out of place in that progression.
