Imagine playing Code Veronica and forgetting to pick up the Combat Knife aka the God Hand, forged by Hephaestus himself in the molten flames deep within Mount Olympus. Never has there existed a more powerful knife in all of Resident Evil... and possibly any other game.
So, who here left the fire extinguisher on the island, inside the security box, and was unable to put out the fire to get the AK later in Antarctica your first playthrough?
@@joshuanelson6795 Yep, if the game "doesnt ask you" to get rid of the item because its useless, you should always keep it with you in one way or another.
I thought Chris was at his peak in this game. He drops everything and comes to a dangerous zombie-infested island because he hears that his little sister is in trouble. Brother of the century if you ask me. He also fist fights a matrix character immediately after killing an ant god with an infinite ammo plasma rocket launcher while the base he's on explodes. Definitely my favorite RE character lmao.
This RE game might have my favorite save room theme. It’s just so damn beautiful and reminds me of a snowy winter’s night...then again that’s the season I originally played this game.
Most people fill those things with promo photos or something from the series the video is based on.. people paid for this work or lack there of? lmao jk no but really, most people fill the outside with a photo from the series or something... What happened here?
@@elFulberto It's to maintain Pixel Aspect Ratio, not just aspect ratio. If you double a 480p image in size you'll get 920p. If you just stretch that out to 1080p then the original footage will sometimes have pixels that are triple the size, and sometimes pixels that are double the size. He wants to avoid that and maintain a uniform image.
I always loved Code: Veronica in my own way, but there was also something about it that made it my least favorite "classic-style" RE game. After watching this, I understand why I felt that way about it and why it was always difficult for me to come back to it in comparison to the others, even those of the action trilogy. Still, I love playing the game, especially because of these things: - The ability to play as Chris and Claire again, and in the same game, is pretty awesome. I have owned the PS2 version as a kid, so playing this game with classic controls was a big plus for me. - You can play as Wesker in the Battle Game, this game's mini-game. - The knife is extremely fun to use in this game. - Obtaining the rocket launcher in this game (the infinite one) is actually a very difficult challenge and one that I've never been up to doing myself. - This game has the dumbest, most dramatic story in the series, and that makes it extremely appealing to me. Thanks, also, TGB, for staying authentic and playing the original DC release for this video!
I'm sure I will one day :) Learning how to speedrun and master each game is one of the most amazing feelings in gaming to me, and doing that with Code: Veronica will surely be just as awesome, even if it takes insane work. I've owned the strategy guide for Code: Veronica X since I was little. It was passed down from my father. As a kid, I couldn't beat Code: Veronica despite having no trouble playing RE1 and RE2 (which were also my father's games) and the fact that my dad owned the strategy guide only for C:V sort of created this legend that Code: Veronica was unwinnable or something. It was the Prima guide, and reading the requirements for getting an A rank was like, "Well, I guess that's not happening!" It wouldn't be until my teenagehood that I was able to beat it alone without the guide, but maybe one day I'll be able to get an A rank.
Channel: NES1995 As someone that managed to unlock the rocket launcher for Code: Veronica X, the first and only time in any classic RE game, it was...honestly, pretty underwhelming compared to what I had to do to get it. Memorizing the majority of puzzles and difficult enemy locations, avoiding zombies and unnecessary encounters as best as I could (Which is kinda easy for zombies since I recall it being really easy to break out of most zombie grabs before losing health, anyways), accumulating as much rare ammo and weapons as I could to the point of using only the knife to kill the Nosferatu-looking monster (Which is somehow doable if you manage to stab it right a certain way), all to get a Rocket Launcher that I only ever used on a few zombies. I mean, I had some fun with the game, but completion just wasn’t worth it in hindsight.
@@bakerdoze To be fair, I would argue getting the infinite rocket launcher is never really worth it in terms of gameplay. To me, it is worth the journey it takes to get there, as well as the added bonus of being able to say "Hey, I feel like speedrunning Resident Evil *blank* today!" and actually being able to do it xD Having the infinite rocket launcher is a lot of fun in 4 and 5, though. I really wish RE6 had an infinite rocket launcher!
I think it's no surprise that when Code Veronica came out that reviews for it were talking about "Resident Evil fatigue" that gave so much hype and energy to the RE4 pre-release coverage for not having normal zombies, not having fixed camera angles, etc. It's crazy to think it, but only 5ish years into the IP's lifespan and people were already tiring of it (and now here we are with 7 people wanting to go back to basics). IDK how many of the watchers here can remember those early days, but I certainly do. One thing you didn't mention though - the knife is INSANELY good in this game! Rather than striking an enemy one time per swing, it hits for as long as the hitbox is hitting an enemy's hurtbox - so you can score several hits at once especially on downed enemies, making this the first time the knife wasn't a total joke best left in the item box. It also has that cool secret instant kill on Nosferatu as well.
I wouldn't say Code V was shitty, just very.... run of the mill. The formula got stale because new things weren't really being added to it here, and mind you Capcom WAS farting these games out hella fast in those days. After Code V we got the Big Nintendo deal where not only did we get REmake but also Gamecube ports of RE2, 3, and Code VX, as well as Zero a year later. On the PS2 side of things we got the Outbreak games (which were good but janky and ahead of their time tbh) and Dead Aim, granted that game wasn't traditional RE, it was the third in the Guncon games. Still, the point remains that an RE that rests on its laurels will magnify the faults it has, and an oversaturation of ports will devalue people's respect of them.
Saying Code V wasn't good is kind of hyperbolic. It wasn't great, but it was not a -bad- game. Zero was better, and its inventory system I thought was fine - many people thought it an improvement over the Item Box. Outbreak's online was ahead of its time, but it did work if you were one of the only people with broadband in 2003. Dead Aim... yeah that one was kinda shit lmao
Only 5-ish years of lifespan with 10+ games. The series was oversaturated with the same old bullshit. Something that you failed to understand as to why people got tired of it. Especially when Silent Hill at the time overthrown Resident Evil in terms of "Survival Horror" genre.
@@Pretzelcoatlus First of all, who the fuck are you? Am I replying to your comment in the first place? No. I'm not even talking to you and yet you got triggered for some stupid reason. Superiority complex much?
what are you guys talking about? Code veronica was loved by everyone when it FIRST released (the code veronica X got poor reviews). Go look it up if you don't believe me. RE4 came out after resident evil 0 and resident REMAKE. That's when people were talking ''resident evil fatigue'' 2 entire games later
You forgot to mention the weirdly out-of-place one on one fight cutscene between Chris and Wesker after the final boss It's like five whole minutes of slow-motion crap lmao
Having recently completed a playthrough of Code Veronica myself, I have to say you hit it pretty on the nose here. Even though the story had me crying from laughter during a couple of scenes it came off as incredibly lame compared to re3 or re2. I had my head in my hands during the romance scenes. And the gameplay itself bored me so I was mostly beating it just so I could see the next cutscene where Alfred was present and so I could scratch another Resident Evil game off of my playlist. Luckily the serieshas a couple of zingers before the next dissapointment.
This is my second favorite of the classic RE games (after 2). It's just so batshit insane and I love it. From the characters to the voice acting to the insanity of having a lab in Antarctica.
Saying code Veronica is a game of it's time sums up it's issues nicely. Nemesis was in retrospect fine and even innovative. I don't get why people hate it outside of, ''it's still tank controls.'' If one game hasn't evolved it's Veronica. I was baffled when I first played it and had to auto climb stairs. I replayed zero more than I did this.
RE3 was and is still the best in the franchise in terms of tight gameplay and perfect pacing. The game even geniously subverts its own tropes while celebrating them at the same time. The music was relentless while that visual look, with those salmon reds, hard yellows, and blacks, could only be described as lurid.
@@SaberRexZealot Indeed it was beautiful even though some of the environnements were a bit drab. As the mechanics, they were poorly done but I'd like to see them done again.
From a tonal perspective, I think the creators were more concerned with canon by the time Code Veronica was in development - rejecting the vague, ominous feel of the first two games in favour of trying to tie events, characters and backstory together in order to form some kind of lore. As mentioned, the end result is kind of underwhelming and comes across as pretty lukewarm. Especially when compared to the way Silent Hill tells its story.
Nice video, i finished RE Code Veronica last week, and for me this game was the most hard in the classic series, the enemies are more fast than the others, and the aim isn't acurrate as the previuos one. Speaking about the enemies: the tyrant boss fight in the plane you can win easier if you shoot 10 explosives arrows at him, than you can activate the cargo and that's it; and in the steve part you can quick turn and run, he will hit you one time, you use a herb, and run, then you be able to escape with a little bit of trouble.
I remember reading somewhere that CODE: Veronica was meant to be the main entry for 3 and Nemesis was made as a side story, but due to time constraints and pushes for a new game they were swapped around.
Something that I feel should be mentioned is that the knife is actually useable in this game! I mean good luck killing anything that's not a Bat, Regular Zombie, or Dog but it's actually not too bad for those enemies and if you use it to kill the zombies for a bit at the beginning of the game the rest becomes a breeze because you saved so much ammo in the beginning lol
I'm the weirdo who calls this his favorite entry in the series but on my current playthrough I can definitely see the devs chose violent when they were developing those Bandersnatch fuckers.
Or, and bear with me here, get the Duralumin alloy but set off the alarm right before you make the SP Emblem on the computer side. If the alarm is triggered and the shutters are down (I just pick up the BOW Gas Rounds and dump them there) the zombies never break through.
I remember owning the strategy guide for this game, and even it didn't tell you how to get the rocket launcher (I got a vague memory it mentioned the locker the launcher was in, but even the writer couldn't figure out how to get it.)
Tecnically speaking you can dodge the purple poison of the boss, the poison will spread based on where the wind is blowing, so you can predict where the poison will go by watching where the background snow is going. Still annoing as hell though...
It wasn’t just that crash bandicoot boss or whatever but the insta kill puzzle right before it as well was the little portion I had to play a million times to figure out wtf the game wanted me to do
Loved the video and your channel Was listening to this in the background and when you compared the score in veronica to silent hill I instantly went back in time. Great stuff ! :)
16:16 go off, Mr. The Gaming Brit. The tyrant plane fight and this quirk of Claire and Chris sharing the same inventory box could only exist in an age where one didn’t have access to the opening weekend hot takes. Do you imagine the inevitable remake would address them or make some brand new gameplay issue rug pull that even has a cheeky Achievement / Trophy attached?
After watching half of your video I decided to play the game as I love RE1 style of gameplay, I must say that I had a lot of fun and thought that it was very good game. However I agree with every critic, I particularly think the story is good but most of the dialogues are almost RE1 level, it tries to be serious but it comes across as funny. I can't even describe the rage that I felt when the game switched over to Chris, I had to load up my save from 1 hour and a half ago to do the entire Antartic Lab as Claire so I could leave my weapons and ammo for Chris. This character switching out of blue is just as trash as the final boss, at least you can cheese it with the Submachine Guns if you stand in a corner, but if you wasted your ammo it's worse than RE3 Remake Final Nemesis.
Your commentary is true. However, the boss fight inside the plane is my FAVORITE boss fight of the RE series. I love the whole dodge/get to the spring ejector after it has recharged challenge. Very satisfying after you finally eject his ass out into the clear blue sky! I love the tracking drone/Hunter threat following you. I love the Haunted House style mansion. In fact, I LOVE the whole flawed, illogical, wacky game. GIVE US A REMAKE!
my main problem with CV's story was Wesker's cutscenes. He pretty much appeared 3 times just to go "I could easily kill you but I won't" and then leaves for some arbitrary reason. That and the opening sequence making Claire look like Bruce Willis just so she can go back to being a tank-controlled character that refuses to go faster than a jog was more than a little annoying.
Hell yeah I get so excited for every new episode in this series because I’ve been with RE since I was 9 when the first game came out. I’m so excited for the RE 2 remake and will def buy it day one.
I loved Code Veronica. Never had any issue with the music, the setting, the bosses. It was cheesy at times, but it didn't ruin anything for me. It just added to the atmosphere. The only thing I guess I could have done without is Wesker's new powers. I still get nostalgia for a replay every time I think about it. I love every one of the games for different reasons. All the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis games are very unique to me, I hardly get the same experience and mood with other games. I loved Silent hill as well, but it creates a complete different mood to me so I don't compere them.
Who remember the Legendary Frog videos of Code Veronica? I'd eat my shorts if a couple hundred people actually knew and remembered it lmao (those vids are fucking hilarious, same with his ff7 random battles)
A common misconception. It was always meant to be a side story just like Nemesis, it's just that Nemesis got the upper hand in terms of innovative mechanics, open ended Raccoon City, more iconic enemy and a tied contract to Sony.
@@Dacho_Shaki This is also a misconception. Originally two sequels to RE2 were being made, one largely Kamiya's creative mind and one largely Mikami's. The former was a game starring HUNK, the latter was Code Veronica. Both were being made for PS1 at one point, but both got too big for the hardware. Kamiya rebooted his concept entirely and went to the PS2, Mikami and whatshisface teamed up with Flagship and moved to the Dreamcast. Nemesis was always way more of a spinoff than CV, which has more mainline cred due to it never being gaiden in development (Literally, RE3 was called Biohazard Gaiden in development). But the true RE3 was something completely rebooted into Kamiya's RE4. Which became Devil May Cry.
@@northwindkey Uhm, no. Originally there was supposed to be the true sequel to RE2, but was later canned because of Capcom's fears of PS1's lifespan (the one with a HUNK operative that you stated), so they quickly switched to Nemesis and gave that game a numbered status, while Code Veronica was always meant to be just a continuation of Claire's story ever since Capcom still continued to support Sega's platform because of the failed attempt to port RE2 to Saturn. It's noticeable how run of the mill and by the numbers Code Veronica looks as an RE title from the actual mechanics to sloppy level design. And Kamiya's idea of RE4 was rebranded as Devil May Cry for a reason because of its action oriented nature (funny how that goes). I believe Capcom made a right decision giving Nemesis a numbered status because Code Veronica holds up very poorly.
@@Dacho_Shaki Code Veronica is more of a survival horror as opposed to Nemesis being an action game. Also, I'm not sure why people think CV holds up poorly. I first played the game only a few years back and found it much better than Nemesis. At least the original still holds up, X has the weird Wesker stuff and the HD port has like no lighting. CV feels ambitious and grand, Nemesis feels like an expanded Mr. X DLC for 2. Code Veronica from the ambitious design, to the attempt at a grand story (Notice, attempt), to the expansion of RE1 and 2's Victorian themes, to the way it was marketed feels like a sequel to RE2, the true RE3. I mean, let's call a spade a spade, a game starring HUNK would've been stupid. Also, Nemesis was literally called Biohazard Gaiden in development, it was always a straight spin-off, it didn't even star Jill until they threw a number on it. Code Veronica always starred Claire, always followed the story of 1 and 2, always wanted to up the ante. And Mikami himself always looked at it as a true sequel to RE2, as did most of the team (There are reports that dev teams even referred to it as RE3 at points). Mikami got so involved he threw in his Dino Crisis camera system. What's more likely, that they would always plan to make a game starring one of the main characters, advancing the core plot forward, and expanding the design a side game, or that it was a main game that sadly got positioned as a side game due to business decisions. There's a reason Code Veronica is the only non-numbered title you have to play to understand the story, and that RE3 is the only numbered title you don't need to play to understand the story. Personally, I say REmake > RE2 > Code Veronica = RE2make > RE3 > RE7 > RE1 > RE4 > RE6 > RE5 >>> RE0
@@northwindkey ''Code Veronica is more of a survival horror as opposed to Nemesis being an action game.''...you do know that you can dual wield uzis in that game...and Steve roundhouse kicks a Bandersnatch on a wall...not to mention the Matrix reject as a main antagonist doing all the bullet time slow mo moves? Not to mention that the first weapon you get, the knife, is lot more overpowered this time around? Code Veronica's story is practically a bad telenovela with action heavy cutscenes. Even the mechanics are downgraded compared to Nemesis. ''CV feels ambitious and grand.'' You can literally craft bullets out of gun powder in a fly in Nemesis. And has the 180 turn which predates Code Veronica. And you can run on stairs freely rather than in Code Veronica where you have to press the action button to proceed on stairs. Nemesis has branching paths and explorable Raccoon City while Code Veronica has a straight line linear campaign. Have we played the same games?
Completely agree with this review. For Halloween last year, from September until late October (perhaps early November), I played Resident Evil 1-3, Gaiden, Code Veronica, and Outbreak file 2. Even though it definitely has its positives, Code Veronica was the only one I did not want to revisit immediately after.
i want to include an anecdote from my playthroughs, i sucessfully went into the Tyrant plane fight with full ammo, thinking that was the ONLY point you could be left weaponless. i didnt realize that near the end of the game you could accidentally go to fight Alexia as Chris weaponless. well, there is a knife in that room - so not TOTALLY weaponless. it took me 34 attempts to not be required to restart from the previous save i had made.
I enjoyed the plot of Code Veronica a lot. The gameplay was okay, but I like to play the games to learn more about the lore and I got that from this game.
I've heard everything about this game, especially a lot of hate, but I'll always love it, and will always be one of my favorites. Still, I'd love a good remake of CVX.
Poor Code Veronica, it seems like it's destined to be the spoiled meat in the RE sandwich, between the original trilogy and the third person approach of later titles, starting with RE 4. Another awesome video! Won't lie when I say I'd be happy if we just took a b-line to RE 4, one of my all time favourite for sure. Guess the build up makes it all the sweeter, great to see a definitive retrospective of the Resident Evil series. Keep it up Brit!
I really hate Code Veronica. It's auto aim is fucked up. The weapons have no impact. Steve and Alfred were poorly voice acted and shitty characters. The game is hard in a flustrating way because if you die you feel like it was because the damm enemies are cheap shot artists. No extra costumes and only one reward for obtaining a master rank. Alexia barely says a word in the game. Which could be a blessing considering Steve and Alfred's voice acting is so horrid. However Alexia has the character of a cardboard cut out. Rodrigo has more character development and lines then Alexia who was supposed to be the main antagonist. I have seen people say this game is the true Resident Evil 3. It isn't for a reason. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis outclassed Resident Evil: Code Veronica in almost every single way but graphically. In terms of Resident Evil I have always felt Code Veronica was at the middle of the barrel. It's better then Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil: Survivor, Resident Evil: Dead Aim and a host of other lame titles. But it isn't the godlike game that reduces Resident Evil 3: Nemesis to Resident Evil 2 DLC. Not even close.
i didn't care much for the insane story but i fucking loved the atmosphere and level design of code veronica, probably my favourite of the classic style games gameplay wise, though 2 is still my favourite of the series
This video needs to be remade. Seriously. It was nothing but a disguised rant with poor visuals (it legit hurt the eyes) and has NOTHING to do with the Rocket Launcher. Also, it should be using the X version, not the Dreamcast-only version. The other episodes were good, which makes this even more of a "What the hell has happened here?".
Man, it's a real bummer Capcom never ported this to modern systems (aside from the emulated PS2 version on PS4). We need this and Viewtiful Joe series on all modern consoles/PC ASAP.
I am a HUGE resi fan. I have probably completed 1-5 & 7 100's of times and that is no exaggeration. (We don't talk about 6. Besides Leons campaign maybe) but for some reason, I never had the desire to even play though this one. Just felt so weird.
something's up with this video, the footage of Code Veronica is way, way too dark to see, had to jack my brightness and gamma up to make out what was happening. that made the other game's footage almost blindingly bright when cutting between them. is that just an encoding issue or is C:V really that dark?
I got lucky in a way. This was my first classic Resident Evil game, and I agree with the Brit that it's a weaker installment (0 might be on par with it, but it's a different beast with it's own ups and downs).
Man, FUCK THE PLANE TYRANT. This was 13-year-old me's first Resi game, and I had to restart the whole damn game because of that bastard. Granted, the whole ordeal really sold the point to me that the world of this game is very dangerous and requires careful item management, but damn son, couldn't they have found a way to sell that point in gameplay without making me replay half of the first disc? (Were there two discs on Dreamcast or am I just misremembering?)
Checked to see if i missed anything. Turns out we just agree. He's aiming over there because there's a destructible target and chris will Opt to target those over enemies. Hope you didn't want to shoot something right in front of you.
Nice video. The fastest way to kill the Tyrant on the plane was to use the green granades use all of them(3) and then use the box to take him out of the plane.
How would you feel about a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, **Persona 5,** Family Guy, Sonic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Digimon Tamers, The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Crash Bandicoot and RWBY with Haruko from FLCL, Hat Kid, Popuko and Pipmi from Pop Team Epic, Bomberman, Doom Slayer, Beavis and Butthead also being there? Kirby gets pushed as a second Protagonist to go along with Diddy Kong. Imagine racing against Akko with Izuku, shooting a missile at Gumball, Gumball, Izuku, and Akko smoking pot with their friends, throwing an oil slick at Ren, Ryuji using a bat to knock opponents sideways, Ann using her whip to whip a nearby rival, Yusuke asking Momo if she’d be painted nude, Fregley putting his foot in his mouth to distract the other drivers so they can crash, Futaba showing everyone rule 34, Makoto dodging bombs that Bomberman planted on the race track, etc.
Code Veronica was my first "classic RE" title. I didn't have a PlayStation and this game was on the 360 . I only played 4 and 5. There are things I liked about the game but some stuff annoyed me like the poison bugs in Antartica and Steve was annoying as hell.
Talking about horror games, have you played Alien Isolation? I straight up loved the game just because I am a huge fan of the movies Alien and Aliens. But I think makes you really feel something is hunting you. Altough the gameplay loop is a bit repetative I had a blast with it, and replayed it at least 2 times already.
I don't know why he hates it so much. It's a great game. I don't really want to see it remade, though. I just don't see the point in remaking everything. I like C:V X just as it is.
Sadly the first time I played Code Veronica...I did what you said against the Tyrant and did not have enough ammo to kill him; I had to reside in trying the knife, which was completely no fun.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I want to say that this is the entry were the series lost its way. The overall design became formulaic while at the same time getting dumbed down and stripped of complexity. It is also where the story started to shit itself with the reintroduction of Matrix powers Wesker. It also lost the horror here. I think this is the least scary entry. I don't recall anything creepy about it. Maybe a couple rooms in the Ashford mansion with the big doll hanging from the ceiling and all, but other than that, not a great sense of atmosphere.
It's funny how even Resident Evil 4 with all the Matrix bullshit Leon does can STILL be creepier than this game(nothing in Code Veronica holds a candle to the Regenerators)
Huh. Year or so ago I started marathoning Resi-games (starting with 4 and 5 and making my way along this weird borderline nonesensical order towards 1/REmake and 6) and I'm currently sitting on Code Veronica, having barely started it and I've been wondering what was it exactly that got me stuck on that one...

I mean, I had some fun with the game, but completion just wasn’t worth it in hindsight.
@@bakerdoze To be fair, I would argue getting the infinite rocket launcher is never really worth it in terms of gameplay. To me, it is worth the journey it takes to get there, as well as the added bonus of being able to say "Hey, I feel like speedrunning Resident Evil *blank* today!" and actually being able to do it xD Having the infinite rocket launcher is a lot of fun in 4 and 5, though. I really wish RE6 had an infinite rocket launcher!
@@ruaridh2k7 Awesome! And I can definitely imagine that, with all the needless running around and the possibility of being low on supplies.
I think it's no surprise that when Code Veronica came out that reviews for it were talking about "Resident Evil fatigue" that gave so much hype and energy to the RE4 pre-release coverage for not having normal zombies, not having fixed camera angles, etc. It's crazy to think it, but only 5ish years into the IP's lifespan and people were already tiring of it (and now here we are with 7 people wanting to go back to basics). IDK how many of the watchers here can remember those early days, but I certainly do.
One thing you didn't mention though - the knife is INSANELY good in this game! Rather than striking an enemy one time per swing, it hits for as long as the hitbox is hitting an enemy's hurtbox - so you can score several hits at once especially on downed enemies, making this the first time the knife wasn't a total joke best left in the item box. It also has that cool secret instant kill on Nosferatu as well.
I wouldn't say Code V was shitty, just very.... run of the mill. The formula got stale because new things weren't really being added to it here, and mind you Capcom WAS farting these games out hella fast in those days. After Code V we got the Big Nintendo deal where not only did we get REmake but also Gamecube ports of RE2, 3, and Code VX, as well as Zero a year later. On the PS2 side of things we got the Outbreak games (which were good but janky and ahead of their time tbh) and Dead Aim, granted that game wasn't traditional RE, it was the third in the Guncon games. Still, the point remains that an RE that rests on its laurels will magnify the faults it has, and an oversaturation of ports will devalue people's respect of them.
Saying Code V wasn't good is kind of hyperbolic. It wasn't great, but it was not a -bad- game. Zero was better, and its inventory system I thought was fine - many people thought it an improvement over the Item Box. Outbreak's online was ahead of its time, but it did work if you were one of the only people with broadband in 2003. Dead Aim... yeah that one was kinda shit lmao
Only 5-ish years of lifespan with 10+ games. The series was oversaturated with the same old bullshit. Something that you failed to understand as to why people got tired of it. Especially when Silent Hill at the time overthrown Resident Evil in terms of "Survival Horror" genre.
@@Pretzelcoatlus First of all, who the fuck are you? Am I replying to your comment in the first place? No. I'm not even talking to you and yet you got triggered for some stupid reason. Superiority complex much?
what are you guys talking about? Code veronica was loved by everyone when it FIRST released (the code veronica X got poor reviews). Go look it up if you don't believe me. RE4 came out after resident evil 0 and resident REMAKE. That's when people were talking ''resident evil fatigue'' 2 entire games later
You forgot to mention the weirdly out-of-place one on one fight cutscene between Chris and Wesker after the final boss
It's like five whole minutes of slow-motion crap lmao
That scene is in CVX version. Only in that one Claire meets Wesker.
Kept us waiting, huh?
Big Boss? Is that you?
*Stares Back Intently*
Black Lotus - *Fultons You*
One last punishment I must endure
Bestgameplayer10 sounds legit lol
Having recently completed a playthrough of Code Veronica myself, I have to say you hit it pretty on the nose here. Even though the story had me crying from laughter during a couple of scenes it came off as incredibly lame compared to re3 or re2. I had my head in my hands during the romance scenes. And the gameplay itself bored me so I was mostly beating it just so I could see the next cutscene where Alfred was present and so I could scratch another Resident Evil game off of my playlist. Luckily the serieshas a couple of zingers before the next dissapointment.
This is my second favorite of the classic RE games (after 2). It's just so batshit insane and I love it. From the characters to the voice acting to the insanity of having a lab in Antarctica.
Saying code Veronica is a game of it's time sums up it's issues nicely. Nemesis was in retrospect fine and even innovative. I don't get why people hate it outside of, ''it's still tank controls.'' If one game hasn't evolved it's Veronica. I was baffled when I first played it and had to auto climb stairs. I replayed zero more than I did this.
Nemesis is such an awesome villain, he makes RE3 for me. I'm dying for a remake.....!
Zero was also probably one of the best looking titles in the series with some interesting mechanics
RE3 was and is still the best in the franchise in terms of tight gameplay and perfect pacing. The game even geniously subverts its own tropes while celebrating them at the same time. The music was relentless while that visual look, with those salmon reds, hard yellows, and blacks, could only be described as lurid.
@@SaberRexZealot Indeed it was beautiful even though some of the environnements were a bit drab. As the mechanics, they were poorly done but I'd like to see them done again.
@@12ealDealOfficial That's an apt description. The game is indeed opressive.
From a tonal perspective, I think the creators were more concerned with canon by the time Code Veronica was in development - rejecting the vague, ominous feel of the first two games in favour of trying to tie events, characters and backstory together in order to form some kind of lore. As mentioned, the end result is kind of underwhelming and comes across as pretty lukewarm. Especially when compared to the way Silent Hill tells its story.
Love this series, and love this channel. Desperately trying to fill the void in my life that 2 Best Friends left, and this definitely helps.
Nice video, i finished RE Code Veronica last week, and for me this game was the most hard in the classic series, the enemies are more fast than the others, and the aim isn't acurrate as the previuos one. Speaking about the enemies: the tyrant boss fight in the plane you can win easier if you shoot 10 explosives arrows at him, than you can activate the cargo and that's it; and in the steve part you can quick turn and run, he will hit you one time, you use a herb, and run, then you be able to escape with a little bit of trouble.
I remember reading somewhere that CODE: Veronica was meant to be the main entry for 3 and Nemesis was made as a side story, but due to time constraints and pushes for a new game they were swapped around.
I think they realized that CVX sucks and 3 was actually good so they flipped them.
Something that I feel should be mentioned is that the knife is actually useable in this game! I mean good luck killing anything that's not a Bat, Regular Zombie, or Dog but it's actually not too bad for those enemies and if you use it to kill the zombies for a bit at the beginning of the game the rest becomes a breeze because you saved so much ammo in the beginning lol
Now I remember ! That laugh Alfred makes sounds exactly like that screech yoko Ono made that pissed off chuck berry.
I'm the weirdo who calls this his favorite entry in the series but on my current playthrough I can definitely see the devs chose violent when they were developing those Bandersnatch fuckers.
The game is good despite its flaws, but the video made it look way worse than it is.
Or, and bear with me here, get the Duralumin alloy but set off the alarm right before you make the SP Emblem on the computer side. If the alarm is triggered and the shutters are down (I just pick up the BOW Gas Rounds and dump them there) the zombies never break through.
He won't care about your tip. He dislikes the game, so why would he try to be good at it?
I really like Code Veronica. Alfred is my favourite RE villain.
Executive Sonda trans before it was cool. :D
@@malik87breaker hereehehehejije....that laught...that god damn laught
Ooof, that was a lot of negativity. That hurt a little bit, not gonna lie.
For a series called road to rocket launcher, there sure was a lack of rocket launchers in the video
I remember owning the strategy guide for this game, and even it didn't tell you how to get the rocket launcher (I got a vague memory it mentioned the locker the launcher was in, but even the writer couldn't figure out how to get it.)
@Fozzy W Doesn't justify GamingBrit calling the video this when he DOESN'T even talk about it.
@Fozzy W "Who cares"? So not even talking about the thing that the video is named after is not important?
Seriously??
Tecnically speaking you can dodge the purple poison of the boss, the poison will spread based on where the wind is blowing, so you can predict where the poison will go by watching where the background snow is going.
Still annoing as hell though...
YES! So happy to see a new episode out! Thank you! Looking forward to the next one already, ofc!
It wasn’t just that crash bandicoot boss or whatever but the insta kill puzzle right before it as well was the little portion I had to play a million times to figure out wtf the game wanted me to do
Loved the video and your channel Was listening to this in the background and when you compared the score in veronica to silent hill I instantly went back in time. Great stuff ! :)
It's FINALLY out! I missed you bro, and this series.
16:16 go off, Mr. The Gaming Brit. The tyrant plane fight and this quirk of Claire and Chris sharing the same inventory box could only exist in an age where one didn’t have access to the opening weekend hot takes. Do you imagine the inevitable remake would address them or make some brand new gameplay issue rug pull that even has a cheeky Achievement / Trophy attached?
After watching half of your video I decided to play the game as I love RE1 style of gameplay, I must say that I had a lot of fun and thought that it was very good game. However I agree with every critic, I particularly think the story is good but most of the dialogues are almost RE1 level, it tries to be serious but it comes across as funny. I can't even describe the rage that I felt when the game switched over to Chris, I had to load up my save from 1 hour and a half ago to do the entire Antartic Lab as Claire so I could leave my weapons and ammo for Chris. This character switching out of blue is just as trash as the final boss, at least you can cheese it with the Submachine Guns if you stand in a corner, but if you wasted your ammo it's worse than RE3 Remake Final Nemesis.
Your commentary is true. However, the boss fight inside the plane is my FAVORITE boss fight of the RE series. I love the whole dodge/get to the spring ejector after it has recharged challenge. Very satisfying after you finally eject his ass out into the clear blue sky! I love the tracking drone/Hunter threat following you. I love the Haunted House style mansion. In fact, I LOVE the whole flawed, illogical, wacky game. GIVE US A REMAKE!
my main problem with CV's story was Wesker's cutscenes. He pretty much appeared 3 times just to go "I could easily kill you but I won't" and then leaves for some arbitrary reason. That and the opening sequence making Claire look like Bruce Willis just so she can go back to being a tank-controlled character that refuses to go faster than a jog was more than a little annoying.
GamingBrit back at it again with that fresh new content, 2019 off to good start so far.
I've definitely been waiting a long time for this one. Excited to see you get into the GameCube releases next!
Hell yeah I get so excited for every new episode in this series because I’ve been with RE since I was 9 when the first game came out. I’m so excited for the RE 2 remake and will def buy it day one.
My favorite Resident Evil. Uncompromising, but awesome.
been playing this on ps4 pro using ps now streaming, its a really good RE game that i missed back in the dreamcast days
I loved Code Veronica. Never had any issue with the music, the setting, the bosses. It was cheesy at times, but it didn't ruin anything for me. It just added to the atmosphere. The only thing I guess I could have done without is Wesker's new powers. I still get nostalgia for a replay every time I think about it. I love every one of the games for different reasons. All the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis games are very unique to me, I hardly get the same experience and mood with other games. I loved Silent hill as well, but it creates a complete different mood to me so I don't compere them.
And thank you for that.
Who remember the Legendary Frog videos of Code Veronica?
I'd eat my shorts if a couple hundred people actually knew and remembered it lmao (those vids are fucking hilarious, same with his ff7 random battles)
Absolutely Fantastic. Cannot Wait to see more videos for Classic PS1/PS2 Games
Super hyped, someone else has herd of Blue Stinger
And Code Veronica was supposed to be the actual Resident Evil 3.
A common misconception. It was always meant to be a side story just like Nemesis, it's just that Nemesis got the upper hand in terms of innovative mechanics, open ended Raccoon City, more iconic enemy and a tied contract to Sony.
@@Dacho_Shaki This is also a misconception. Originally two sequels to RE2 were being made, one largely Kamiya's creative mind and one largely Mikami's. The former was a game starring HUNK, the latter was Code Veronica. Both were being made for PS1 at one point, but both got too big for the hardware. Kamiya rebooted his concept entirely and went to the PS2, Mikami and whatshisface teamed up with Flagship and moved to the Dreamcast. Nemesis was always way more of a spinoff than CV, which has more mainline cred due to it never being gaiden in development (Literally, RE3 was called Biohazard Gaiden in development). But the true RE3 was something completely rebooted into Kamiya's RE4. Which became Devil May Cry.
@@northwindkey Uhm, no. Originally there was supposed to be the true sequel to RE2, but was later canned because of Capcom's fears of PS1's lifespan (the one with a HUNK operative that you stated), so they quickly switched to Nemesis and gave that game a numbered status, while Code Veronica was always meant to be just a continuation of Claire's story ever since Capcom still continued to support Sega's platform because of the failed attempt to port RE2 to Saturn. It's noticeable how run of the mill and by the numbers Code Veronica looks as an RE title from the actual mechanics to sloppy level design. And Kamiya's idea of RE4 was rebranded as Devil May Cry for a reason because of its action oriented nature (funny how that goes). I believe Capcom made a right decision giving Nemesis a numbered status because Code Veronica holds up very poorly.
@@Dacho_Shaki Code Veronica is more of a survival horror as opposed to Nemesis being an action game. Also, I'm not sure why people think CV holds up poorly. I first played the game only a few years back and found it much better than Nemesis. At least the original still holds up, X has the weird Wesker stuff and the HD port has like no lighting. CV feels ambitious and grand, Nemesis feels like an expanded Mr. X DLC for 2. Code Veronica from the ambitious design, to the attempt at a grand story (Notice, attempt), to the expansion of RE1 and 2's Victorian themes, to the way it was marketed feels like a sequel to RE2, the true RE3.
I mean, let's call a spade a spade, a game starring HUNK would've been stupid. Also, Nemesis was literally called Biohazard Gaiden in development, it was always a straight spin-off, it didn't even star Jill until they threw a number on it. Code Veronica always starred Claire, always followed the story of 1 and 2, always wanted to up the ante. And Mikami himself always looked at it as a true sequel to RE2, as did most of the team (There are reports that dev teams even referred to it as RE3 at points). Mikami got so involved he threw in his Dino Crisis camera system.
What's more likely, that they would always plan to make a game starring one of the main characters, advancing the core plot forward, and expanding the design a side game, or that it was a main game that sadly got positioned as a side game due to business decisions. There's a reason Code Veronica is the only non-numbered title you have to play to understand the story, and that RE3 is the only numbered title you don't need to play to understand the story.
Personally, I say REmake > RE2 > Code Veronica = RE2make > RE3 > RE7 > RE1 > RE4 > RE6 > RE5 >>> RE0
@@northwindkey ''Code Veronica is more of a survival horror as opposed to Nemesis being an action game.''...you do know that you can dual wield uzis in that game...and Steve roundhouse kicks a Bandersnatch on a wall...not to mention the Matrix reject as a main antagonist doing all the bullet time slow mo moves? Not to mention that the first weapon you get, the knife, is lot more overpowered this time around? Code Veronica's story is practically a bad telenovela with action heavy cutscenes. Even the mechanics are downgraded compared to Nemesis.
''CV feels ambitious and grand.'' You can literally craft bullets out of gun powder in a fly in Nemesis. And has the 180 turn which predates Code Veronica. And you can run on stairs freely rather than in Code Veronica where you have to press the action button to proceed on stairs. Nemesis has branching paths and explorable Raccoon City while Code Veronica has a straight line linear campaign.
Have we played the same games?
Could not have said it better! Code Veronica was the biggest chore of the RE’s
That DAMN PLANE TYRANT...
Based off of release dates alone Resident evil 3 nemesis wouldve been a "response" to Silent Hill, not Code Veronica.
I kinda wanna see a Parasite eve analysis video since we're on the topics of RE games. Might be interesting.
@MrMikehunt87 ah i see
Completely agree with this review. For Halloween last year, from September until late October (perhaps early November), I played Resident Evil 1-3, Gaiden, Code Veronica, and Outbreak file 2. Even though it definitely has its positives, Code Veronica was the only one I did not want to revisit immediately after.
Using the bright borders around the video makes this impossible to watch at night on my phone lol
i want to include an anecdote from my playthroughs, i sucessfully went into the Tyrant plane fight with full ammo, thinking that was the ONLY point you could be left weaponless. i didnt realize that near the end of the game you could accidentally go to fight Alexia as Chris weaponless. well, there is a knife in that room - so not TOTALLY weaponless. it took me 34 attempts to not be required to restart from the previous save i had made.
I enjoyed the plot of Code Veronica a lot. The gameplay was okay, but I like to play the games to learn more about the lore and I got that from this game.
my first time binging your rtrl videos and OHH GOD why use a shiny white greyish background for this one???
I'm not even really a fan of RE, but your video's on the series sure as hell do entertain =D
Can you do a video on Blue Stinger?!
Or Carrier, now that's an "interesting" one...
I was watching Road to Rocket Launcher RE3 yesterday and here is Code Veronica YUH
I've heard everything about this game, especially a lot of hate, but I'll always love it, and will always be one of my favorites. Still, I'd love a good remake of CVX.
Poor Code Veronica, it seems like it's destined to be the spoiled meat in the RE sandwich, between the original trilogy and the third person approach of later titles, starting with RE 4.
Another awesome video! Won't lie when I say I'd be happy if we just took a b-line to RE 4, one of my all time favourite for sure. Guess the build up makes it all the sweeter, great to see a definitive retrospective of the Resident Evil series. Keep it up Brit!
I really hate Code Veronica. It's auto aim is fucked up. The weapons have no impact. Steve and Alfred were poorly voice acted and shitty characters. The game is hard in a flustrating way because if you die you feel like it was because the damm enemies are cheap shot artists. No extra costumes and only one reward for obtaining a master rank. Alexia barely says a word in the game. Which could be a blessing considering Steve and Alfred's voice acting is so horrid. However Alexia has the character of a cardboard cut out. Rodrigo has more character development and lines then Alexia who was supposed to be the main antagonist.
I have seen people say this game is the true Resident Evil 3. It isn't for a reason. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis outclassed Resident Evil: Code Veronica in almost every single way but graphically.
In terms of Resident Evil I have always felt Code Veronica was at the middle of the barrel. It's better then Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil: Survivor, Resident Evil: Dead Aim and a host of other lame titles. But it isn't the godlike game that reduces Resident Evil 3: Nemesis to Resident Evil 2 DLC. Not even close.
i didn't care much for the insane story but i fucking loved the atmosphere and level design of code veronica, probably my favourite of the classic style games gameplay wise, though 2 is still my favourite of the series
New to your channel, excellent series, you definitely earned a sub.
Good stuff, well done! Haven't played Code Veronica myself I was curious what was special about it
This video needs to be remade. Seriously. It was nothing but a disguised rant with poor visuals (it legit hurt the eyes) and has NOTHING to do with the Rocket Launcher. Also, it should be using the X version, not the Dreamcast-only version.
The other episodes were good, which makes this even more of a "What the hell has happened here?".
i know right? I mean at least his take on Wesker is outdated because in X version he has more screentime.
The white sidebars look like shit anyway, goddamn
Man, it's a real bummer Capcom never ported this to modern systems (aside from the emulated PS2 version on PS4). We need this and Viewtiful Joe series on all modern consoles/PC ASAP.
Those credits could use some ocean man
Glad you back.. love this series!
19:51 Code Veronica's Claire's facial render is superior and cuter than RE2 Remake or Revelations 2. We want THIS Claire back!
I missed the knife entirely on my first run way back then. I did not have a fun time.
i just now noticed you like don’t have an accent
I am a HUGE resi fan. I have probably completed 1-5 & 7 100's of times and that is no exaggeration. (We don't talk about 6. Besides Leons campaign maybe) but for some reason, I never had the desire to even play though this one. Just felt so weird.
Try it yourself. Don't play the Dreamcast version, tho.
hope we can see more from the road to the rocket launcher, keep it up bro
something's up with this video, the footage of Code Veronica is way, way too dark to see, had to jack my brightness and gamma up to make out what was happening. that made the other game's footage almost blindingly bright when cutting between them. is that just an encoding issue or is C:V really that dark?
Encoding issue. Also, choosing bright blue borders for a dark game is not a smart idea.
I like this game, its different yeah but very good.
Everytime I played this game I forget the fire-extinguisher in the metal-detector box^^
I allways wondered why there wasnt a magnum in the main game^^
Dark footage on top of a bright grey background is a little difficult to see a lot of the time.
What about the music that starts playing whenever an jump scare happens? That shit is so funny because of how dumb it is.
I got lucky in a way. This was my first classic Resident Evil game, and I agree with the Brit that it's a weaker installment (0 might be on par with it, but it's a different beast with it's own ups and downs).
Man, FUCK THE PLANE TYRANT. This was 13-year-old me's first Resi game, and I had to restart the whole damn game because of that bastard. Granted, the whole ordeal really sold the point to me that the world of this game is very dangerous and requires careful item management, but damn son, couldn't they have found a way to sell that point in gameplay without making me replay half of the first disc? (Were there two discs on Dreamcast or am I just misremembering?)
Holy shit I waited for so long hdjfhcid
Checked to see if i missed anything. Turns out we just agree. He's aiming over there because there's a destructible target and chris will Opt to target those over enemies. Hope you didn't want to shoot something right in front of you.
Song in the background in the beginning?
I was hoping that you would do Zero next. But it can wait.
I assume he's doing by release date so it'll be REmake, Zero then 4.
Nice video. The fastest way to kill the Tyrant on the plane was to use the green granades use all of them(3) and then use the box to take him out of the plane.
Oh God! Those voices lol
I trapped myself on the plane fight my first playthrough of this one.
How would you feel about a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, **Persona 5,** Family Guy, Sonic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Digimon Tamers, The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Crash Bandicoot and RWBY with Haruko from FLCL, Hat Kid, Popuko and Pipmi from Pop Team Epic, Bomberman, Doom Slayer, Beavis and Butthead also being there?
Kirby gets pushed as a second Protagonist to go along with Diddy Kong.
Imagine racing against Akko with Izuku, shooting a missile at Gumball, Gumball, Izuku, and Akko smoking pot with their friends, throwing an oil slick at Ren, Ryuji using a bat to knock opponents sideways, Ann using her whip to whip a nearby rival, Yusuke asking Momo if she’d be painted nude, Fregley putting his foot in his mouth to distract the other drivers so they can crash, Futaba showing everyone rule 34, Makoto dodging bombs that Bomberman planted on the race track, etc.
That sounds like you had some drugs. And I want to know which ones.
iv always thought Code Veronica was better then RE3
Code Veronica has always been an underappreciated game in the franchise
I’ve been waiting for a new episode of road to the rocket launcher.
I don't think the PS2 version had the cheesy credits music.
Just as this video is uploaded I'm currently at the first Alexia boss fight. Good timing.
Code Veronica was my first "classic RE" title. I didn't have a PlayStation and this game was on the 360 . I only played 4 and 5. There are things I liked about the game but some stuff annoyed me like the poison bugs in Antartica and Steve was annoying as hell.
Talking about horror games, have you played Alien Isolation? I straight up loved the game just because I am a huge fan of the movies Alien and Aliens. But I think makes you really feel something is hunting you. Altough the gameplay loop is a bit repetative I had a blast with it, and replayed it at least 2 times already.
Man, Code Veronica needs a decent remake much more than RE 4 that is by rumors in development. IMHO Code Veronica is the best game in the franchise.
I don't know why he hates it so much. It's a great game. I don't really want to see it remade, though. I just don't see the point in remaking everything. I like C:V X just as it is.
Sadly the first time I played Code Veronica...I did what you said against the Tyrant and did not have enough ammo to kill him; I had to reside in trying the knife, which was completely no fun.
I forgot about the music during the credits..that's pretty bad
That was changed in CVX.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I want to say that this is the entry were the series lost its way. The overall design became formulaic while at the same time getting dumbed down and stripped of complexity. It is also where the story started to shit itself with the reintroduction of Matrix powers Wesker. It also lost the horror here. I think this is the least scary entry. I don't recall anything creepy about it. Maybe a couple rooms in the Ashford mansion with the big doll hanging from the ceiling and all, but other than that, not a great sense of atmosphere.
Oh shit, you said everything that I complained about. Oddly glad that we agree on this entry being a big of a let down.
It's funny how even Resident Evil 4 with all the Matrix bullshit Leon does can STILL be creepier than this game(nothing in Code Veronica holds a candle to the Regenerators)
Huh. Year or so ago I started marathoning Resi-games (starting with 4 and 5 and making my way along this weird borderline nonesensical order towards 1/REmake and 6) and I'm currently sitting on Code Veronica, having barely started it and I've been wondering what was it exactly that got me stuck on that one...
I couldn’t get past the tyrant in the airplane unfortunately.
it is a game to enjoy by just setting to easy and solve puzzles I think. Resi light perhaps.
