I thought Raccoon City's state was HEAVILY based on Michigan... In "BIOHAZARD THE BEGINNING", Chris' best friend's death is faked by Umbrella, who destroy his plane over the Great Lakes as they go to Chicago (Chicago is of course right across the lake from Michigan.).
Noboru Sugimura also refers to a place either called "Kant City" or "Kent City" (depending on your Japanese reading) in one of his works. It is 30km away from Raccoon City. Kent City is also a place in Michigan.
Huh. Was this a recent decision by Capcom? Was the thing about Billy's plane crashing into a lake near Chicago from a hypothetical time when Raccoon was in a Simpsons-esque made-up state taking commonalities from several real ones?
It's always been in Missouri. The "BIO HAZARD The Beginning" book is glorified fan-fiction.
Is there any specific book or interview I can cite for this information? All I've seen so far is the RE2 development staff being confused about whether or not Raccoon is a Northeastern state (possible mistranslation by the magazine).
It's never stated outright, but there are hints throughout the games. The Arklay Mountains are pretty much the Ozarks, and Raccoon is of relatively close proximity to Chicago.
The city's appearance in BIO2 also resembles Springfield, Missouri quite drastically.
