  • Intrigued by a mysterious list of "Secret Features" from the Japanese strategy guide (Biohazard CODE: Veronica Kanzenban Kaitai Shinsho), I bought a copy of the book and I've translated it into English for everyone. There was a ton of information in here not available on the internet like the invincible zombie, Claire's slower attack speed, and how to do the "extravagant" turn.
    I also summarized some of the "original stories" written in Japanese which add to the character's lore and personalities. And let's take a look at the early concept art and what could have been. Stick around until the end for a special bonus that sums up this wacky and wonderful game nicely!
    Putting this video together took months so if you learned something new and you're feeling charitable, please consider leaving a Like and subscribe. Thanks!
    22 secret features are:
    00:00 Intro with Japanese CV commercial

    I hate how Darkside Chronicles changed the relationship of the Ashford twins. In Code Veronica, there was something touching about seeing Alexia tenderly holding her dead brother's body on her lap after he woke her up with his last bit of strength. But Darkside changed it to her killing Alfred to make her more evil and uncaring :/...

      Yeah I hated Alexia's character change. In the original, Alexia and Alfred lived in their own little world it seems, and thus they only care about each other at the expense of others. In Darkside chronicles, it seemed more shallow in comparison.

      Geez you think! I analyzed the nuts and bolts out of why CVX stands out so much, and what CVX did that NO OTHER RE game has ever done, and how CVX could've evolved into something that made Claire tell the greatest RE story of all time. [sorry for the plug RC cinema :)] but watch my vid on what everyone missed in CVX and about Claire.
      After that analysis, I saw DSC and it was SO CRINGE, I had to force myself to watch it till the end. The downgrade from CVX in DSC is ASTOUNDING! The only positives I recall is the improvement in Steve's VA and Alfred's VA and mannerisms. (If bill Houston gets all the hate for sounding so canadian in CVX, why not Alyson Court in DSC lol)
      Here is just ONE OUT OF SEVERAL instances of this downgrade. Does everyone remember Claire was trying to find chris? In CVX, guess who finds Chris within 5 minutes... STEVE, who also inadvertently suggested that Claire should send a distress message to Chris... something that ended up saving her life in the end.
      CVX Steve did in 5 minutes what Claire couldn't in 3 months. CVX Claire owes her life to CVX steve at least TWICE!
      In DSC, huess who finds Chris... Leon... After 3 months of Racoon City and Leon's position at Stratcom, he suddenly remembered he has the connections to find Chris.
      So in DSC, Steve was more useless, but had a better VA.
      Let me know if you want more details.

    I think what could have also been a big problem for Steve is the lack of social interaction with people his age. Assuming that the people in Rockford were adults, that could mean Steve didn’t have anyone he felt he could talk to for a very long time. His anger and hatred festered within his mind, but not his heart. Also he would have missed out on interacting with girls his age. That could be a reason why he creeps on Claire a couple of times. Not an excuse, but a possible reason. If Steve got to survive CV’s story, he would have had a helluva time learning about adult life, how to get a job, taxes, etc. Fantastic video, very informative!

      on re2 was the same,it was easier to get a game over like in the scorting parts because ada getting bitten caused way more damage than sherry getting puked on so lowering your guard while playing as leon (first timers at least) could cost

    CODE: Veronica is my favorite RE game along with 2. Sure, the anime-style villains make your head scratch, but the game oozes with atmosphere. Rockford Island is a truly disturbing place. The prison camp is modeled after a concentration camp, complete with the infamous ovens. Alfred and Alexia's relationship is clearly incestuous (the game hints at it more than once) and Alfred is a quite sick individual - I am glad I am not the only one who noticed the bottle and ashtray next to the armchair in the torture chamber. It's a game that deserves a lot of love.

    17:38 In the Code Veronica novel, this scene is told from Steve's point of view, and, although he shortly considers kissing her, he soons changes his mind, not wanting to do anything since he's not sure if she would like that or not. So he holds himself back, way before Claire shows sign of waking up. The general scene is much less awkward than in the game.

      @@raccooncitycinema You're welcome! Yes, I like Steve too and I do think his personality and character evolution make sense with his backstory. And yes, this scene didn't really age well.. . But the novels really did a great job giving more depth to each characters of the series (both protagonists and antagonists) by switching points of view so the reader can get access to what their emotions, thoughts, and motivations. That make them more interesting when you play the games after reading (for instance, I'd never thought I'd see Nicolai from RE3 as an interesting and complex character, but the book paid homage to him). Code Veronica is both my favourite RE game and my favourite RE book, and I love the Ashford twins even more than before since reading it. The scenes told from the POV of Alfred and Alexia are incredible.

Also notice Umbrella Security Service U.S.S. and Waffen Schutz Staffel also both have SS in it. Not saying that HUNK's Alpha Team unit or the Paris Division U.S.S. grunts Claire is seen battling it out with appeared Nazi like but in the course of other classic RE games including Zero and RE2 the way the just storm in and assassinate Dr Marcus and Birkin has that same added level of cold cut throat ruthlessness.

    4:49 and 5:53 Only played the Dreamcast version but have watched 2 different people play Veronica x and didn't know about that. Always great to learn something new. :D

    A never seen video of Re CV. Great job. I think CV was the only re game were they escaped on a plane.

    I love RE Code Veronica, They should do the remake,and as a cameo let us play as the Rat 🐀 , that would be awesome and funny as hell 😅
