Why Code Veronica actually NEEDS a remake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- I am making this video to lend my voice to amplify the call of the middle child of the series. In case you didn’t read the title or see the thumbnail, that entry in the franchise is Resident Evil Code Veronica. Now here’s the thing, unlike the other remakes this isn’t really a case of wanting better graphics. Resident Evil 2 and 3, and now 4 didn’t need remakes. They were amazing, for sure, but they were already good. What makes code veronica different in this regard is… well, it has a lot of problems.

Code Veronica NEEDS and DESERVES a remake
Yes it does.
Most definitely, anybody who says otherwise needs to see their shrink
@AlexanderNottingham are you okay? You need to lighten up.
@alexandernottingham1541 Lookout people, we got an edgelord here.
Needs yes, deserves nah; that game is absolute ass.
Claire Redfield: Alfred!
You cross-dressing freak!
Me: Classic! 👌🏽
Love it lol
Me in 1999: 'Yeah! Yu tell 'im, Claire!'
Me in 2024: 'Pchhhhwahhahhhahahahaaaaa!'
Hope they remake Veronica!

@@AirMasterNeo I miss the Onimusha games, especially the third one with Jean Reno. I just hope I can finally master that darn 10-point slash. Lol
me too.
Dude Code Veronica does deserve a remake! I remember that being the game i'm familiar with the most, mainly my siblings and dad playing.
It does but not by Capcom. They'll just butcher it like they did with 2 and 3remakes.
@@terry85mar I-
I originally didn't like the fixed camera from the original RE1-3 except in Code Veronica because in CV the backgrounds are in full 3D & the camera is sometimes following you, making the game looks more dynamic. And this is why I like Code Veronica
Tbh Backgrounds were better in Og especially in 2 and 3, cuz they were in 2d which allows you to put alot more details, while CV being first full 3d game lacks that, backgrounds are just bland and boring.
@@FIREDAN075 yeah. I understand why CV was impressive at the time, but playing it now the dynamic camera doesn't do nearly enough to make up for the loss of detail. And that's only comparing CV to the ps1 games. Compare CV to REmake or RE0 and there's just no contest which looks better.
I would love to see the creepy mansion area expanded too, the one with the spiral stairs and hanging dolls and stuff, that whole setting is SO COOL
Yes, I would love to see more of that
That's what I thought when I got to Castle Dimitrescu in Village! The Ashford Mansion would be so incredible with a modern remake.
I 100% agree with your thoughts and already thought it deserved a remake. One thing you forgot was how great the music is in this game! I feel like they all got great music but CVX had the best music.
Palace of the insane and the mansion themes at the end in the arctic lab with the heavy horror genre piano.
CVX Best Save Room music.
Veronica is definitely one of the most horrifying early games in my opinion when I played it on Dreamcast I always gave up like right after the graveyard cuz I was shook
Eh, if you say so. I find the atmosphere generally worse than all the other fixed camera games, and it has the goofiest enemy designs in the series.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 i was also like 8 or 9 when i played it first lmao probably the main reason
For me, it was the dogs and the Yellow slime "long arm of the law"
Oh CV is actually one of my favorites! The musical score is just incredible. The save room is seriously soothing. I wish they would remake it with a revoicing of Steve. (probably everyone, but I really thought OG Claire was well done, but I'm super partial and have been in love with Claire since 1998!).
That save room
So relaxing
Especially around fall or winter time
@@Ramen551 It hasn't even been a year since I 1st played the game and that soundtrack makes me so damn nostalgic
@@Ramen551Fall and Winter is the best time to play RE Code Veronica because the ambience is just perfect
I played CV for the first time last year around Halloween. It quickly became one of my favorites. It was a long game, and it took me forever to finish it, because I did get stuck, run out of ammo, and just in general rage quit because I was getting killed so easily. I would love love love to see a remake. I really believe it deserves one!
Yeah reasons the reward timer is so much higher than the previous titles. It did have the most content hands down though
If you love it so much then why would it even need a remake? 🤷🏻♂️ See what I mean?
Personally, I didn’t enjoy the original so I’d like to see a reimagining just to see if they could actually make it playable (Don’t worry, that’ll never happen).
However the problem with that is people like me would be looking for more of a reimagining whereas you’d probably want the RE1 remake treatment ie. Almost exactly the same but with some interesting expansions here and there.
Why would Capcom risk alienating people when they can just remake RE4 which is almost universally praised? RE4 doesn’t need a remake but it’ll sure as hell sell more copies and garner more attention.
The original RE4 was basically the gateway drug for a huge 3rd wave of resident evil fans. 1st wave was the original, 2nd wave of fans was RE2 & 3 when gaming was becoming more mainstream
I'd love to see a more playable version of the Chris and Wesker part at the end as well.
If they ever plan on remaking 5(or even *shudder* 6) they better put wesker into 4 and a code veronica remake would be vital beforehand as without cv wesker could not be the cat eye matrix villain he became. I'd hope they would tie it in to REmake too so we have a history of Chris and wesker
@@jj80808 I wouldn't shudder at a remake for 6, simply because the worst games in the series are the ones that need remakes (and where overhauls would be more welcome, compared to the more beloved ones).
@@siegfriedc2332 I'm just waiting for the big budget fixed camera remake of 7 and 8 to be honest with you.
I think 6 was a fun coop game and they could've made it better than 5 if they stayed true to the marketing of each character having a different gameplay style and worked on the story more. If they remake 6 before cv though...no justification.
@@siegfriedc2332 Hang on….the worst games in the series need remakes? Business-wise, why would Capcom want to polish a turd? 💩 They need a maximal return on their investment considering the amount of time and money they sink into making these products.
Do you mean they should reimagine crap games into better ones? 🤔
They haven’t done that yet. The original RE1, 2 and 3 were successful and generally well received games, with casual gamers and die hard fans.
Their success is what strengthened their candidacy for a remake.
People recognise “oh hey that’s that game I liked way back when”. They have positive associations with the brand that the recognise and that’s incredibly powerful. I locked in a pre-order for RE4 straight away like a trained lab rat hitting a food button 😂.
People are way less likely to get excited for “oh boy, that piece of crap I barely remember cos it sucked so bad”.
Code Veronica was the first Resident Evil game I played on my own. Capcom should consider the REmake treatment for what was essentially was meant to be the third title in the series. It definitely had expanded on the series overall story with Weskers return and the Ashford family who helped found Umbrella and their genetic research. They could expand on more on both on a remake
I agree with this. Especially on the cutting/redoing some of the puzzles with back tracking and adding Scenarios B & C. Now if we could get a proper outbreak 1 & 2 remake....
many people disagreed with me but I considered Outbreak peak camera angle style of the RE series
also REMAKE DINO CRISIS
Outbreak? What about Re:Verse?
I always figured as soon as you’re clowning around with strangers online the whole survival horror atmosphere goes right out the window and it devolves into a buncha muppets flailing around
Would absolutely love to see a CV remake!
Code Veronica supremacy! I was so affected as a way-too-young child playing this on Dreamcast (even though I was too terrified to play past entering the mansion at the time). Claire is a centerpiece of RE for me, which is one of my main reasons for wanting an updated version. Among the other issues the original game has….
I happen to be stuck at the EXACT place you mentioned with Chris and the hunters, your pain is felt
Code Veronica was my first PS2 game and I have very fond memories of the game, it's got huge personality and a sense of urgency and keeps you on your toes and I love it
Those are recycled phrases that don’t necessarily apply here.
Sense of urgency?
I seem to remember casually running past a giant worm in a courtyard, again and again, almost like it was just a piece of the background environment because it was so unthreatening.
Same went for the dogs outside the mansion bit.
The 3D graphics thing was supposed to be a step forward but it actually made for a lot of dry, poorly lit, boring looking locations.
Devil May Cry came out roughly the same time and there was terrific locations for its time that were beautifully lit in a way that made them look and feel like actual locations
My biggest fear of Code Veronica remake is comments of "its transphobic"... For example.. You said Claire insulting Alfred was a transphobic comment... But realistically if you were being played with by a person like this being tortured and them trying to kill you, youre gonna be nice and empathetic towards that persons feelings? I just feel it made sense with Claires emotions in the segment
Exactly, politeness and manners go out the window in that scenario.
I agree to be honest, if the character feels that way and talks that way... then the character feels that way and talks that way? I don't like the idea of people going "you can't say that" people most certainly do say whatever they want. It seems idiotic to pretend they don't and censor things. She makes the comment, in an agitated state, but it's not like the game then backs it up and says she's right. It didn't seem biased in that way to me when I played it.
I fully agree with this. There was nothing wrong with that comment in context.
I just know someone out there is thinking, “Yeah, I know he tried to kill her and all, but that’s no reason for Claire to not respect their pronouns.” 🤦🏻♂️

stop treating those gro0m3rs like a protected species
I’m a big RE fan, but CV was tough to love, I’d vote for a remake just for the sake of enjoying this story in a different/ newer light”
So you’d want more of a reimagining then?
See, I would too. That’s gonna alienate and enrage the purists though who want everything kept as it is with a shinier coat of paint and maybe a few expansions here and there, kinda like RE1 remake.
Do you think Capcom are gonna risk that, or wouldn’t they just prefer a slam dunk with an almost unanimously beloved game like RE4 that they’ve ported countless times with repeated success?
I wonder what’s next for them.
RE5 sold incredibly well, so I’d predict they remake that one at some point but we’ll see how RE4 goes.
It might be time for them to experiment for a few years behind the scenes before things get stale
Code Veronica was the first one I completed.
Loved the spooky feel of prison island
Especially the Doll house piano music
The heavy clanging piano keys DOM DOM DOM DOM
I have been saying they need a CV remake since they announced remaking 3. It's important to the story line overall, as Uroboros was composed with T, G, T-Veronica, and Plagas. Not to mention the huge impact the Ashford's had on Umbrella overall. It would be great for them to give more background on the Twins, or the Ashfords in general. When Capcom decided RE4 was next to get a remake, I was both excited and livid for various and probably obvious reasons. I am glad that I'm not the only one who wants to see CV get a overhaul.
Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been saying it.
If you want your wants/needs to be taken into consideration then maybe become a major Capcom shareholder. That’s who they need to satisfy first and foremost, not the fleeting wishes of consumers 🤷🏻♂️.
Welcome to the grown-ups’ table son 🥃🧐
Look…You’re still gonna purchase the RE4 remake so they’re gonna be proven right in the end anyway. The same goes for most people.
Why then, should Capcom risk remaking CV that had a mixed reception and lacklustre sales when they can have a slam dunk by doing RE4 which is a positively associated title with fans and casual gamers alike that’s been ported year after year with repeated success?
Wanting something as a fan doesn’t mean it’s a lucrative idea for the people that have to turn that into a [mostly virtual] reality for you.
Capcom staff need a return on their investment to fund future research into better games down the road, not to mention paying their staff, preserving their stock value, ordering in sushi and cocaine for the office party, and so on
Yes, I've been saying Code Veronica should get a remake for a while. I agree with all your points here. When I first played it on Dreamcast back in the day, Alexander Ashford terrified me as a kid. I feel there so much they can do overall but especially with him to bring it to the next level.
I freaken love Code Veronica. It's the game that got me into the horror franchise
I read the title and I totally agree. It needs a remake more than RE4, in my opinion.
@James Wickham Shut up. Yes it does.
@James Wickham thanks for you elaborate answer, sounds like a PS2 fanboy.
also REMAKE DINO CRISIS
More than any of the classics did, imo.
@James Wickham ok man. Thanks for you opinion.
I recently played it for the first time. I think all of your points are valid. A remake would make this gem in the franchise much more appealing. The story is very important to the chronology and remaking it would be a great way to make it more accessible.
The so-called story is never mentioned or brought up in any other mainline entry in the series after that. Maybe it’s glossed over in some niche file somewhere.
The “story” of these games is the weakest aspect of them, but if its presented in an interesting way then that can be enough.
For example, the background environments and fixed camera angles from the original trilogy (particularly 2 & 3) were great at setting the tone and showing much of the aftermath of a city that’s basically out of control, eating itself alive and burning to the ground.
Cheesy dialogue and boring unskippable cutscenes played 2nd fiddle to the tense atmosphere that was built up through actually playing the game. That environmental storytelling was genius and a hard thing to replicate.
The Arkham games did this too. The story isn’t anything groundbreaking but it’s presented in such a creative and interest way that it makes up for it.
Code Veronica absolutely deserves a remake like how Steve Burnside deserves more love
Maybe also having him fighting against alexia’s first form and injuring her while in his mutated form but when she mutates Steve would get hurt badly which Steve would still try to fight but would struggle which Claire would have to help him out by fighting alexia to finish her off but in the end Steve would end up dying, I’m hoping they go for that final kiss at the end before Steve dies
@@nemesisstars1527 I really like that idea 👍
He has the most cringeworthy and tone deaf scenes in the entire series, and that’s saying a lot
@@CursedWheelieBin
I think he was 17 years old so his voice actor was right on point with the performance.
Kai you are the best for reminding us about needing a Code Veronica remake. It is also one of my favorite ones by far because it's challenging. In a way I'm kinda ok that they have not remake it because my love for this game is stronger. The director for CV, was unique and made this game tideuos on purpose!
It needs a remake but not by Capcom. They'll just ruin it like they did with re2 and 3 remakes. I don't want yet another one of my favorite games to get butt raped by its very own creators. It's just like that South park episode and how George Lucas and Spielberg ruin their own movies by adding and changing everything.
At this point, I'm advocating for remakes of Code Veronica, 5 and 6! Just do em all and do em right Capcom!
I don’t know about 5 and 6, those games are still modern enough imo. Hell I’m still fine with the current RE4.
I feel that the overall fan community doesn't really care for 5 and especially 6. There's no feeling of nostalgia about these games.
@@raffa85 Exactly. No one is clamoring to see those again. Honestly, they just kind of exist. And yes, I also feel they are too recent to even warrant it… then again, TLOU Part I proves that doesn’t even matter anymore 😂
also REMAKE DINO CRISIS
6 might need 1 the most, it had so many problems that could be sorted out simply. CV and 6 are the most troubled RE games. They fumbled RE3make but the original is still excellent
I defo think it not only deserves a remake but NEEDS one too! The issue of Alfred crossdressing was handled much better in the Darkside Chronicles where they even made him a bit sympathetic IMO! There are so many cool ideas including the Ashford's History, the connections to Umbrella & Wesker's return which could be given more spotlight! Also Having Claire and Chris reunited!!!
There was nothing wrong with any element related to the gender stuff in CV. People are just too woke now.
I love that you kept in your cat sneezing. That was adorable.
I will agree that it's a shame that CV hasn't been properly remastered/remade - yes it had Darkside Chronicles, but it wasn't exactly the best setup gameplay-wise.
Kai u hit it on the nail.
1) My brother couldnt beat Alexia Type 2 because he didnt have enough health and ammo.
2) Those poison hunters after the elevator was a challenge.
And 3) The game could use a lot of backstories such as Claire infiltrating the Umbrella lab.
I'm all for a CV remake. I didn't get a chance to play it until around last year (I was never an RE player until I gave 7 a try), but you're right. CV has a lot of RE plot points nit only in the original game, but that could be elaborated on amd integrated in to what they're trying to do with all the new stuff.
Plus, best villain of the series. If they toned down the villain and Steve a bit, it could be awesome.
This was such a well done video. Never knew you went to school for game design! It shows in this video. I loved the points that you brought up and agree with each one of them. There’s really so much that can be done with this game. I think there’s a big enough fan base for the original and I think even the newer fans would be stoked on a remake because it might be a game they’ve never played or even heard of. Could be a completely new and fresh experience for a lot of new RE fans while also having capcom not have to come up with an entirely new storyline. Easy money for them and a well deserved remake for us RE fans, win-win situation in my eyes.
It would be a loss if it was handled like re3 was where they didn't GAF
@@bEtHeSdA_LAME_sTuDi0s I’d like to think they learned their lesson from the backlash of re3. Re4 remake is looking really solid so far and they already proved they can do it right with re2 remake so I’ve got some hope 🙏🏽
Bruh ur right about everything, this story line which is pretty important in RE lore, and I feel them skipping Code Veronica and doing RE4 remake first is not only a disrespect of the story of RE but to us the fan who have been there since the BEGINNING.
You know, my cousin and I were always talking about how they could do a remake of code Veronica. Not just flesh out the characters but also make the island more interesting. For example: have the prison, military base, airport, and Ashford residents more spread out, and maybe give the island maintenance tunnels so Claire and Steve can move around the island without running into to many problems except when you got the tyrant, Alfred, and the Gulp Worm pursuing them. Also speaking of pursuer characters, I think the tyrant, gulp worm, Alfred, Alexia, and Nosferatu might make decent pursuers of Claire, Steve, Chris, and Wesker to a decent extent.
I keep seeing this same point made over and over again and all these wishes are for a reimagining (not a remake) because the original game had so many issues.
Code Veronica is so underrated I love the Ashford twins and how batshit insane they are
Agreed. It’s showing it’s age, needed more than most.
your not the only one man I'm dying to watch the remake of this game
and I'm doing a video to make my voice heard .. thank you man
Claire calling him a cross dresser is completely accurate and was unnatural for 2000 years
2022 says "Hold my gender studies degree"
@@DmanDice LGB without the T 👍 as it was back then anyway. Wake up peak everyone, that line is iconic and as a gay man who knows what is really going on with the ABCefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz community of never ending labels and made up pronouns I say keep that line but I'm done with remakes so no more remakes.
@@derekb4977 well get ready for 4 lol. Its coming out and im sure theyre going to nerf Leons "toxic masculinity" and Ashley will be even more of a Karen. Still getting it though lol
@@DmanDice lol I won't be buying it it will never go into my classic resident evil collection, I'm definitely done with this franchise.
@@derekb4977i am so glad you said this even reading it a year later, all this sensitive bullshit is why games are no longer good anymore, because developers are afraid to walk on egg shells to make something interesting. I appreciate this comment.
code veronica and re4 were what got me into the franchise when i was buying bootleg copies in bali at 10 years old, still love everything abt veronica and the story development with claire/steve and the ashfords and the Antarctica base was all so gripping as someone who hadn't played the older resident evils and could still get into it
Id absolutely love a remake of this one. Truthfully it should have been done BEFORE RE4. Don't get me wrong, I love Resident Evil 4 and it will always have a spot in my heart. But it still holds up today.
I love Code Veronica. Plus I absolutely love Claire, she's my favorite! I want a remake! I'm hoping Capcom will remake it because us fans want it, plus it makes them more money as well.
We need this remake, Code Veronica is awesome!
I agree, but it could be better.

@@privateprivate3767 yes, it is over due. But I still wondering why is there an umbrella logo in the vehicles and the containers in the vehicle/container storage.
@@melvinprado2736 I loved that detail, the short answer is it's just an Easter egg or even re-used asset but for head cannon it's very possible Dino Crisis exists in t6he same universe and shady organizations like umbrella and the 3rd energy researchers would do business with each other
@James Wickham CV is the best RE. sorry, bud
You're BOW rounds video is great. Really enjoyed that, plus I never knew what they did? I knew they killed enemies but didn't know how they were different.
If it was to be remade there’s absolutely no way Alfred would be the same as he/they were in the original.
Imagine the contemporary reaction.
There's no justification for that, because the game doesn't degrade or mock gays. Alfred dresses like Alexia because of a psychological disorder occasioned by loneliness and for absolutely devotion to her.
@@raffa85
"There's no justification for that" Let me introduce you to 2022 lol. People dont bother to comprehend details like that lol. They see cross dressing portrayed negatively = outrage.
also REMAKE DINO CRISIS
@@DmanDice If my memories serves me right, FF7 remake features cross dressing and I don't remember anyone complaining about this.
Like I said, the game doesn't mock gays and if some media outlet pushes that agenda, the only thing that will happen is welcome publicity. People complain about anything these days, so if you expect to please everyone to build your art, Capcom better give up making games. And certainly the people in that bubble who might be problematic about that would not going to play the game anyway.
@@raffa85 As for ff7 remake. Of course that was fine. It was presented as 100% positive and every character in the game was pro "cross dressing".
For RE CV, Alfred is a bad guy. So thats already a no no. Plus the issue would be relating mental issues with cross dressing. Claire calling him a freak doesnt help either.
Code veronica is my favorite RE. back in the day it was the only one I played where after you went to antratica you need to insert the next disc. i remember as I child I was reading a folder of walkthrough. i was never a fan of horror but knowing where they will surprise you changes things and I can play it. Now that Im older i heard village was not as horror and ammo limited si i tried it and i like that i wish i could play veronica remake.
I want a Code Veronica remake!!!
The BEST save room music of all franchise
Alfred was crossdressing (pretending to be his sister) and he was a freak. thats not transphobic.
Let me introduce you to the 2022 internet...
I first play this game back in 2017 and boy I keep dying on the airplane part. Tyrant gave no mercy.
Code Veronica is my second favorite RE game.
I actually agree with Claire on calling him a cross dressing freak.
If there's something I don't like about Code Veronica is how easy is to mess a full run, only because to take with you a certain item, or to leave it inside the box.
Yeah I messed up on my first playthrough this is definitely the hardest resident evil game 😂
Definitely. And the game gives no indication that you're about to move on to the next part where you're fucked if you left something in there or left equipped with the other character.
That damn fire extinguisher lol 😭
Yeh but you don't need the fire extinguisher later on to finish the game. It's only to get the magnum and the game can be completed without that
@@LeviJamesRE Yeah obviously but the magnum makes things easier
You are not alone, I fucking love this game. Was the first RE I ever played, and I talk about it often, that this game needs a remake.
I like Code Veronica, I got to played it on the Dreamcast. I didn't mind playing through it a couple of times, at the end, if you are a fan, you will play the game and enjoy it, even if isn't well made
Code Veronica is a very special game for me personally. It was the first Resident Evil game that I played with no external help. No friends came over to help and I didn't look up anything for the puzzles. I was determined to solve everything myself, and I did. It's also why Claire remains my personal favorite character. I hope for a remake some day 🤞
While I remember playing 1, watching friends play 2 & 3, Code Veronica was my first full play through. I absolutely loved and still to this day love this amazing game. It’s definitely mainline cannon for me. I’m surprised it’s even a debate whether there should be a remake or not.
I completely agree, the story could be so much better with fleshed out character backgrounds. After RE3 remake I was so excited for a CV remake announcement but it never happened. I still think RE4 really didn't need a remake.
Couldn't agree with you more. Excellent points made. Definitely need it before Capcom moves on and CV is forgotten.
You’re definitely not alone in loving Code Veronica. Even though I’ve never played the game myself, I’ve watched countless play throughs, walk throughs, speed runs, fact videos, Easter egg videos, review videos on this one game. I love the story line, the characters used, the continuation of Claires RE story, the locations and enemies. It does something similar that RE2 did with Ada; built up a mysterious character that you meet early on to the point that you care about them and then has them meet an emotional end. There was plenty wrong with the game in gameplay controls, graphics being pitch black in most areas and some of the voice acting being meh, but I would absolutely enjoy seeing an updated remake giving this game the love it deserves.
I won't argue that this game, which has some killer locations and an awesome final boss, in addition to playing as BOTH of the Redfield siblings, definitely needs a graphics glow-up, at the least. Alfred and Alexia have the potential to look stunning, not to mention Steve's monster form after being infected by one of Alexia's tentacles. And of course, Wesker getting a formal reintroduction to the Remake series (his first since RE: 0's added Wesker mode and the Remake/fully realized edition of RE1).
Wasn’t the final boss notoriously annoying to fight because it stun locks you?
That Suzie lassie on the SphereHunter channel was talking about it in her “RE CV misses the mark” video. I only mention it cos I haven’t made it very far into the game cos it felt like a chore to play.
I'm right there with you - CV is a cult classic. I remember when I was a kid experiencing RE2 for the first time, watching my older friends play it in the dark and being absolutely astonished. Years later, the same friend introduced me to CV on his Dreamcast. Everything was so interesting about it - playing as Claire, the life meter on the memory card, I especially remembering depositing all the weapons in order to go into the alley. Years later, I would go on a pilgrimage myself playing the game and yes the game was off-kilter. The weird antagonist doubling as Alexia, Steve the annoying side character, etc. But it had the best music for the save room EVER, you literally cried when Steve turned into the monster, there was a lot of memorable things about this game. In my opinion, this game has more replay value than RE3 - which had a lot of hype back in the day but in my opinion was a huge let down. Favorite part of CV is when you revisit the mansion.
One of my pet peeves with CV is how they started to introduce more anime-esque action sequences. Up until then, it was clearly established that: Virus = mutation = bad. But with Wesker suddenly just being able to have superpowers with seemingly no negative side-effects, it threw that whole concept out the window. A lot of the characters also come across as exaggerated caricatures more than anything, like Steve and Alfred.
I believe the phrase is they “jumped the shark”.
I remember thinking Wesker’s moves were awesome in RE5 but I was a bag of hormones barely out of my teens at the time so any stylish action shlock had my attention.
Question is, when they reintroduce Wesker do they:
a) tone it down with the Matrix stuff?
b) embrace it and just go crazy?
c) somehow present him in a totally new and grounded way? 😬
At this point I don’t see Capcom taking any risks with him and will probably keep him as the OTT Saturday morning cartoon eeeeeeevil villain who wants to turn the world into….black goo or something? I can’t remember
I love that Viruses and parasites give some people super human abilities. it shows that Umbrella and other villains had the right idea of advanced humans but not everyone turns out so lucky which explains all the zombies, William, ganadoes, Lycans and other monsters.
The exaggerated character thing is more of a classic RE issue, I can't take RE1/PS1 Wesker, Steve, Irons and Alfred seriously at all. With Steve I was like "Bruh take your goofy ass over to Sonic or Megaman", Irons sounds like a Scooby Doo villain from the 70s and RE1 Wesker begging Chris to stop laughing at him is the funniest thing to me. it's why I think Wesker hates Chris and beat the shit out of him in CVX.
It would be a great opportunity for them to get Code Veronica into the spotlight. All because a game didn’t do well before doesn’t mean it won’t do better if the right amount of care is put into it for the remake. I hope that since RE4 remake is going to be released this will be the time for Capcom to set their eyes on Code Veronica.
"Cross dressing freak" is funny
And based
Code Veronica what is my favorite. It was a great evolution for the fixed camera tank control gameplay. I am almost blind, and the incredible darkness of the PS2 version was a definite hurdle to overcome.
Code veronica is my all time favorite RE game, i have a lot of nostalgic memories with it that I literally grow up with it so its wired to me when people have never play it and just skip to RE4 and RE5 !! I mean no you are missing a great chunk of RE lore.
Even though i deeply love the original CVX, i would love to see it on the RE engine and have a lot of backstory regarding the ashfords or Rodrigues , i would love to see more of Chris and Wesker interaction and have Chris and Claire work together longer.
Hopefully we will get what we want 🙏🏼
They should let Steve live in the remake
A crossdresser is a man who dresses as a woman. Its not transphobic to call a crossdresser a crossdressing freak.
No such phobia exists anyway, it's just a way to deflect facts people don't like.
I almost totally forgot about code Veronica. Probably because it’s the only game in the series that I didn’t finish 😅 You made really good points of how they could remake this and fix it as well! Dang, now I really want to see this happen! 🤞🏽
I'm right there with you on all these points. It's sort of like RE1 yeah it's excellent but the REmake is just perfection. I really like your ideas for the remake. I for one would like to see more of the actual Alexia. Really make her a menacing presence. Have a while scenario in her humanoid monster form where she's a stalker enemy.
I totally agree with you Kai. Code Veronica 100% deserves a remake. There is so much room for improvement in the game design itself. Perhaps making it less frustrating for one. Code Veronica's soundtrack is still one of my all time favorites. Even though it was a difficult game, the story and characters kept me playing to the end. 😊
100% AGREE! Everything I wanted to say about Code Veronica remake is said in this video. Its very hard to convince other RE fans to check out this game too. We want Code Veronica to look good for them to try it
also REMAKE DINO CRISIS
day one fans know that. but the kids who started with RE4 and think that this shooter is the only real RE are just... kids
I’ll buy the remake twice if Claire still calls Alfred a cross-dressing freak
Me too 😂
Code Veronica was my first and remains my favourite of the original style games. (VERY closely followed by the Gamecube RE1 remake) RE4 still top for me, but I play through CV probably twice a year. It's awesome. Cool vid, great idea. Hopefully it carries!
RE4 is a fantastic game but a horrible RE itself. i never understood why they didn't make an offical spin off or a stand alone game out of it
As someone that only played Code Veronica during lockdown, and obviously missing the bus on the hype and success at the time of release, I really need this remake!
Same way they’re building on then character models and story for Leon and Ada in RE4 remake, Capcom can reuse the Claire character model from RE2 remake and make it feel like a proper sequel to that game for her.
Still to this day my favourite title in the series. Made a Top 5 Resident Evil video awhile ago officially stating as much.😂 Nice video interesting hearing other peoples perspectives.☣️👁☘️
I agree with you on everything you said despite this also being my personal favorite RE game 🙂 and the running out of ammo problem causing to restart the game...o boy I remember that I had that problem first time playing this game when it came out. But I still fell in love with the game, the music and kinda weird but cool story and Wesker being in it, the mystery, the enviremonts you come across, love them all! And I can't remember how much I finished it by now 😀 so yeah I truly hope they give it a Remake cause that would be insane!
Yeah, we need a RECV remake to stitch the plotholes, like, how Leon contacted Chris. We also need to know how Wesker regained HCF's trust after the tyrant he put so much faith in failed him.
we are waiting for Code Veronica Remake
Revelations 2 was , kind of, a CV remake.
The scenario looked similar. 🤔
We seriously need a Remake of Code Veronica badly!
cv is one of my favorite stories and they could do so much with it i hope they remake it
I have been campaigning for a RE CVX remake, and a Dino Crisis remake. Absolutely NEED that!!
I've played the Darkside Chronicles version of CV and enjoyed it a lot on Wii so I was looking forward to play the Original version but i could never finish it because I struggle a bit with tank controls so a remake with updated controls is so welcome here
YES PLEASE! Code Veronica is the game that got me interested in the franchise!
Another reason is because of Claire's absence since RE2 even though she is in code Veronica the remakes make it seem like Claire has been missing in action since RE2
Had to reset at the airplane boss fight. Almost dropped the game right there but glad I powered through. Was one of the most rewarding REs to finish at the time.
My initial idea was the hope that after RE3 remake they'd make a Code Veronica remake. They didn't but I hope they do next year.
Plus, I don't consider Steve's original personality as that much of a problem as it sort of emphasizes on his youth.
The game really does need a remake, I didn't care for gameplay but I really enjoyed the story. Plus it would be nice to see Claire and Chris together in current gen graphics.
One thing that kept screwing me over were the not at all telegraphed switches between Claire and Chris. I played CV years ago but only finished it for the first time a few months ago and I swear every time the character switched, I did not have appropriate weapons or a key item at hand, forcing me to load and replay a chunk of the game again. The airplane fight was an absolute nightmare, especially given that I did not have the grenade launcher. I also missed the sniper rifle before the Alexander fight, assuming Alfred had just lost it. There are a million things to pick on, but the challenge ultimately ended up feeling rewarding and I really appreciated this game's ambition and style.
I'd love a CV remake, and keep the Alfred creepiness in, and Claire calling him a cross dressing freak. It felt so genuine, like he was a complete asshole, and if anyone who had to deal with a creepiness like him putting you through a death game scenario like that I feel like everyone would say something much worse. My biggest gripe would be to cut out a lot of the puzzles to sorted the game
Idk there was nothing creepy to me about Alfred. He’s more like a cartoon villain then anything.

The dude was a drag queen with major sister issues to the point where he wanted to be her slave. Also facilitating a deadly zombie virus, and giving a psycho doctor a torture arena to watch prisoners suffer makes him way worse then a cartoon villain. Maybe on league with Cobra Comander.
Inkribbon is a woke soyboy pansexual who liked the atrocious live action series. Sub to evilblitz and scorepn if you want based re content.
No way bud. Its 2022. They'd never portray a cross dresser as anything but positive now. And they'd never have a good guy say anything negative about one. The "cross dressing freak" line would have to come from a cis gender straight white man if at all.
I don’t want a remake if they emasculate it and make it politically correct. I’m also not sure if Capcom is willing to deal with the SJW Americans on Twitter butthurt about its depiction of a cross-dresser if they don’t make it pc.
I agree with everything you said. Code Veronica needs that remake. Especially the plane with the tyrant part. And the difficulty settings. And health and ammo. Currently replaying Code Veronica. Had to stop and take a break for a bit because I’m having issues on the Tyrant. I really hope Capcom listens and gives the fans that.
Update: Thanks to watching this video. And Kai’s video on the BOW rounds immediately after. I beat the Tyrant on the plane in Code Veronica very easily and quickly. Took him out in less than 2 minutes by doing the method Kai suggested. Thanks, Kai! 😊
Calls Claire phobic. Smh.
I've been screaming from the rooftops that my 2nd favorite RE game needs a remake. I love Code Veronica so much!
I also love Code: Veronica. One of the main reasons I love it so much is because Claire and Chris are in it. Also the Japanese version on the Dreamcast did have a difficulty selection. Be warned though you'll need a GameShark to play the Japanese version on a North American Dreamcast which means you have to select a certain code in order to play it.
SO glad I could find someone and a channel speaking with so much love and details about Code Veronica game, great channel and great vids too, I know where to be when the remake is announced :)
Those are all good ideas and I agree it should be remade. There is depth there that they can build upon.
Glad I wasn't the only one that died constantly at that Chris part. So frustrating I stop playing for like a week lol. Ending up beating it though. I hope they remake it, but sadly I doubt it.
Couldnt agree more on basically ALL your points.. Its such a GREAT game and it needs the love that RE2 and RE3 got.. amazing games and i think CV could be just as amazing IF not more amazing.. the potential is there!!!! BIG TIME!!! PLEASE CAPCOM!! Hear the fans and do this :) much love
I bought Code Veronica a couple months ago to play it on my flat screen to see what it would be like and I really was impressed at just how awesome it was to go back and to now see it on a big TV but my only complaint so far is that you better play this strategically as hell cuz I'm at a part where I have to run past the bander snatches in the courtyard and on this skinny little platform and I have no damn bullets left and no health so I'm basically crawling and it's impossible so I'm going to have to restart the entire game, so if you play Code Veronica watch a walkthrough or something to help you out because there's no feeling worse than having to restart an entire game after putting so much time into it because you are stuck and there's no way to fix it
I’ve never thought of Alfred and Alexia being a dark reflection of Chris and Claire. That’s a very good observation
Yeah, that was an interesting observation. His "transphobia" gibberish wasn't though.
The comparison of Chris and Claire against Alfred and Alexia is literally in the game.
Alexia, "It is almost time, you genetically-inferior siblings!"
It's not subtle. You didn't have to dig deep into subtext to figure this out.
