Resident Evil Gets Silly | Resident Evil - Code: Veronica

- Code Veronica, while a good game, marks the point of Resident Evil moving into very silly territory.
Initially a Dreamcast exclusive released in 2000, Code Veronica falls short of the previous three titles. While still good, it falls victim to excessive backtracking, a plot that rail goes off the rails, and one of the most annoying characters around.

The longer a series goes on, the more likely it's going to go off the rails at some point. It starts to veer away from those first few titles. It starts to get silly.
You can argue that the series "jumped the shark".
Code Veronica is one of those titles.
Sure, Resident Evil has always been silly, but Code Veronica is where things get really silly.
From Wesker gaining Matrix powers, to cross-dressing villains, to one of the most annoying characters around.
While Code Veronica is still a good game, of the fixed camera era of Resident Evil, I rank it near the very bottom, just ahead of Resident Evil Zero.
Hell, of the mainline titles, I rank Code Veronica near the very bottom.
I do know Code Veronica has its fans. Perhaps it was their first Resident Evil, as at the time, it was a Dreamcast exclusive.
There are some enjoyable moments throughout Code Veronica. But it also contains plenty of frustrations that never bogged down the previous titles.
This Code Veronica review/analysis/critique/retrospective looks at how Code Veronica came together, where it goes right, where it goes wrong, and more.

Hands down one of the best gaming channels on the platform, bro ❤🍻🇬🇧
silly? have you even played RE4?
Re cv is a masterpiece
You can actually get around without getting hit by Steve
"Steve is suffering"
I miss the part where thats my problem
Hahahaha, yes! 😂
"Steve is suffering."
"Why?"
"Well for starters, his dad w-"
"No, no, I mean, 'Why do you think that I care?'"
@@KurtisC93 please make him stop talking! "I'm sooooorrreeeee"! Now we're all suffering!
Lol, seems like you did miss it. He happens to be trap in there with the lugers you need to do unlock the special door leading to the mansion. Yeah definitely your problem now😏
@@darryltorres7302 true, but I wouldn't be above a bit of pillage if that meant I didn't have to put up with him!
I can't, the ''I Deeespise Chris'' line paired with the knowledge that Chris just fuckin' laughed his ass at Wesker in RE1 and that's the reason for that hate is just too funny, it kills me everytime, all of this because Chris laughed at his science project.
I mean you can tell how hurt and heart broken he was when he told Chris to Stop It.
@@Zazzaro703 ''Stoooop it''
Laughed at his science project, *and* blew it up.
"You ruined my plans."
CCCHHHRRRIIIIIIIISSSS!
I loved Code Veronica. Crazy story and setting and the best soundtrack next to RE2. Chris looked awesome before he started juicing.
Chris looked like Kazuya Mishima in those cutscenes. :D
If I got my ass kicked that hard, I'll be in the gym everyday too.
Same. Really love Darkside for remaking parts of Code Veronica. I hope Capcom does a proper remake someday.
The music during Alexia's reveal is just so perfect.
The backtracking in this game is some of the worst going from one entire area to another for a long distance was awful. Every Re game has backtracking but this felt the worst. Though I wouldnt mind seeing a remake maybe by studio M2 who did RE3 remake so capcom can continue working on more mainline projects
Veronica is that weird girl you still enjoyed.
I’m thinking it’s more like the hottie that gives you crabs.
Mmmmm crabs
CV= Yandere
@@4dhumaninstrumentality789 lmaoooo
The girl with dreads down to her waist, crooked teeth and a butterface, but who had a nice ass. I'm conflicted.
I love how agile and fast cutscene Claire is while when you play she's stiff as a board and gets stuck in corners and tight spaces
They did Rodrigo dirty. He's probably the coolest character in the entire game despite only having like 4 lines and 5 minutes of screen time, but they get him gut shot and devoured by a giant worm. They should've axed Steve and his whole thing, replaced him with Rodrigo and done a similar thing that they had with Jill and Carlos, where Claire has to work with someone who works for Umbrella. Or, like the video says, they could've replaced Steve with Leon.
With the Ashfords the psychology of Alfred is compounded by the fact that their family is a matriarchal cult of personality, where they venerate a long dead female relative as the exemplar to follow. Alexia was the product of an attempt to recreate Veronica, and Alfred was an undesired by-product. The placenta of his sister's birth.
The fact that after losing her he started to obsessively fantasise that he WAS her, and thus he wasn't the inferior mockery of his sister's perfection, is the core of Alfred's tragedy as a character.
Naturally this is Resident Evil so this rich concept is handled with classic inelegance, but its all part of what makes RE:CV an interesting digression from the main series.
I was ready to give Steve the benefit of the doubt. He can't be that bad, can he?
Then I heard how he says "sorry" and realized that he's the one thing I could never forgive. Canadian 😤
Haha
Sore-E 🤢 the Canadian says
"Whait a second. What just happened?"
Steve Burnside offering commentary on 2020-2021.
Steve may not be the best RE character but his Spongebob voice made him just endearing enough to make me sad when he died.
I cheered when he died. Worst character in the history of the series. F Steve. Tofu is a better character.
Honestly, I actually find Code Veronica to be one of the darkest entries in the series. But that's just me.
True the game was so dark I couldn't even see herbs or ammo most of the time
@@RobertEdwinHouse9 No, dark in a TONE manner.
@@NebLleb woosh
@@NebLleb I guess if you’re one of those ppl with zero life experience and think clowns and boo ghosts are scary then yes it’s s very dark and scawwy 😂
@@Xcalibur2679 ARE YOU RETARDED?!
Damn, with that thumbnail you'd think Chris is the one trying to continue the Redfield bloodline.
🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
Incest is a family business after all
Maybe he’s sick of waiting for Leon. 🤣
Don’t be ridiculous, Claire would never mate with someone with such inferior genetics as Steve Burnside.
It was always Chris
My biggest problem with Code: Veronica aside from Steve Burnside being an obnoxious twit is that it takes the classic RE formula and cranks it up to ludicrous degrees. Backtracking has always been a staple of this series, but it was balanced out by making actual progress. Here, you're *constantly* going back and forth between areas to solve one single puzzle solution (looking at you metal detector) and the pacing just suffers because of it. Not to mention with how big the areas are it's easy to get lost in this game. It's the same problem I have with the original Dino Crisis.
Yeah there's more backtracking in code veronica than any other resident evil game and that's why it's my least favorite of the pre-RE4 games.
This combined with the respawning enemies keep me from revisiting CV.
And nothing interesting much happens in between those parts.
While I LOVE this game, the one part that annoys me besides Steve is the first act for Chris. You go through the fort dealing with extremely dangerous enemies, just to obtain one item a halbred key! Overall it's still an awesome addition to the series, even if it pushed the series into the over the top beautiful mess it is today!
Bang on. The ridiculous level design holds back the game.
This game is endearing for its super campy, so bad it’s entertaining quality. It literally feels like a soap opera sometimes. But my god it’s easily the most frustrating RE game, some of the mechanics as far as switching between Claire and Chris and THE STEVE MONSTER PART. It’s right before the end of the game and if you leave most of your healing items with the other character (because how would you know they are switching on a first run) you basically have to restart the game if you don’t have a recent save file. Some of the developmental decisions just did not come together and although I loved fixed camera RE I’m so glad the series shifted after this and Zero
You obviously have never been eaten by a frog in RE Zero and lost four or five hours of gameplay time.
Both CV and RE0 really need proper remakes. Not RE4, it's still great. Well, not the censored VR one.
CV and RE0 are my least favorite mainline RE games, besides Survivor lol.
@@nakedbeekeeper9610 I feel your pain.
Resident Evil is all about restarting, because the mistake you made 5 hours ago came back to haunt you
@@Fedor_Kisliakov most of that gameplay was storage management and i wasn't looking forward to doing all that tedious work again.
Excuse me?! No memorable music? Code Veronica has some of my favorite boss themes! The tyrant fight in the plane and the final fight with Alexa stick out as some of my favorite boss music ever.
Don't care what anyone else thinks or says. RE:CV is in my top 3 RE's. Loved it, love it and will always love her; the sexy minx.
I think RE:VC is regarded as one of the best next to RE4 and REmake ny most fans. i was suprised that RECV was rated as one of the worst right at the beginning of this video.
@@RonaldRaiden That is the _literal definition_ of "judging a book by it's cover."
@@Germaniac77 thats probably nostalgia talking, in fairness. No way is it better than the original trilogy, seven and eight. Just too many bad gameplay and writing decisions.
@@niallreid7664 I understand if some people rank Re1+2 in a higher spot for their impact and starting the franchise, but in no way is RE3 (which came around the same time as RECV) near the same level as RECV. RE3 is one of the worst mainline RE-titles. RECV also surpasses RE1 and 2 in terms of storyteling and overall presenattion, but as I said: I can understand if some people rank 1+2 higher for nostalgic reasons
@@Germaniac77 no this game is definitely a dumpster fire, the characters went from normal ppl trying to survive a tense situation to matrix characters with laughable voices and terrible dialogue. I can understand why gen z might love this game tho 😂
i couldnt enjoy this game. ppl say re4 is where the series started going crazy but it was actually this game that did and its probably my least fav re game. this game desperately needs a remake
The story is absolute bonkers in CV. And Steve Burnside is probably the worst male character of the franchise besides that wood plank from RE Survivor.
@@Gruntvc I could forgive the story even Steve
But the gameplay,level design,bosses,certain enemies are just hot garbage
4 at least embraced the crazy and was fun because of it. CV is just plain stupid. But not in the fun kind of way.
I really enjoy the story in CV actually. Facing off against sociopathic, genius, blonde (and potentially incestuous) twins was cheesy and fun in the best way. The Ashfords were one of the founding families of Umbrella and the twins are the result of genetic engineering so of course they'd be absolutely bonkers.
With the exception of the first game (and its remake) this franchise was always action oriented...you just were 8 years old when the old games came out.
Code Veronica is with out a doubt my favorite in the franchise. I'll admit that there is likely quite a bit of distortion from my nostalgia goggles, but I enjoyed this title the most out of them all.
I already played 1, 2 and 3 before Code veronica so that didn't affect my perception.
I don't generally compare any of those titles to 4 and beyond as they are really different styles so can't really be compared 1:1.
4 would be the best of the revamped styles.
Until 7 which comes with a new style and remakes style
@@nichenetwork9817 7 was definitely a step in the right direction for the series
Code Veronica was far from a perfect game, but I liked it. Steve is weird and easy to pick on too, but u have to admit, he's way different than any other RE hero. Plus the dual wield gold lugers and sub machine guns were awesome.
I still love and think it's one of the best in the series that deserves a remake. RE2 on N64 was my first RE game and might still be my favorite of the series. Thematically and story-wise RE:CV is one of my favorites.
I dont get the whole "RE got silly with this one" to me RE got silly the moment the hunter was introduced to us in RE1
Lmfao good point, it's also been silly AF from the *very* start if you take the dialogue into consideration
My favorite part of CV is watching Wesker get clowned by Alexia in the original DC release
Code Veronica was the perfect sequel to part one and two with lots of call backs, Res 3 just felt like a DLC in comparison.
Yeah, narratively Code Veronica is the direct sequel to Re2, with Re3 was the "Scenario B" to Re2.
Even though RE3 actually improved and innovated on the gameplay seen in the first two games, whereas Code Veronica is incredibly bog standard while also doubling down on the backtracking and other faults.
Can’t say that I have an issue other than some details with this game since it belongs into my top 3 RE games. Yes, story wise is bananas, but I love it even though is weird af 😂 and the soundtrack is sooo good
I don't get all the hate for Steve. Sure, he speaks in ALL CAPS. But he's a kid who has had everyone and everything taken away from him. He's been traumatized. He acts selfish, but he eventually dedicates himself to protecting Claire. And in the end, sacrifices himself to save her.
That's a right proper arc. "YAHOO"
Mainly the voice acting/voice directing is to blame. Darkside Chronicles has much better Steve.
Yeah, I just think it's a shame to discount him for his voice because he had some real growth. But that's coming from someone who has an annoying Canadian voice too haha
seeing the scene where the twins are ripping the wings off the dragonfly while it was still alive as a child permanently scarred me, i still have nightmares about it sometimes
I can't help but laugh everytime he shits on DSP. The music he uses is perfect.
I couldn't disagree more. CODE VERONICA is one of my absolute favourite Resident Evil titles, alongside RE2, and I have been playing RE games since RE1. And I may be in the minority here, but I actually liked Steve lol. I cried when he died, but perhaps that had something to do with me being a young teen when I first played it 😆
Preach!!!!
Old comment but I heavily agree with you. I never found Steve as annoying as others say, even found his death a bit sad. Replayed it recently to refresh my memory after RE4Make and, despite a few issues with bosses and certain enemies, I still loved it as much as I did when I played it for the first time 3 years ago. Still holds up exponentially well and I'll both defend it tooth and nail, and shout at the sky to Capcom for a faithful remake like RE4 got.
He's just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a cornball. I can't sympathize with cornballs. They hit that cringe/disgust nerve & any hope of sympathy is burnt to the ground.
@@bbbbbbb51 Sounds like a you issue
I love Code Veronica. Along with REmake, it’s my favorite of the classic era, and had things gone differently it would’ve been a good game to end the main series with.
Code: Veronica is the Resident Evil game that I feel to be most in need of a remake (alongside Survivor). Steve could be a really compelling character with better voice acting and scripting. There were a lot of really creative ideas in the game's design that could be reworked into a modern AAA gaming experience-for instance, exploring Rockfort Island as Chris _after_ its self-destruct mechanism had already gone off. The only problem is that CV's design is severely antiquated and tedious by today's standards. A remake would fix this issue.
CV would literally never get a remake in 2021, or at least not a faithful one. It's too """problematic""" and they'd just turn it into a soulless bottom of the barrel trash like RE3R.
My girlfriend is a very huge Resident Evil fan, but I only played seven and eight and she was not okay with that, so this past month we have been going through all the main Resident Evil games from 1 to 6.
Honestly my journey with this Series and her has been so fun and I feel like I was definitely missing out a lot. Apparently codename Veronica is her favourite one that she played as a kid. Definitely hoping to play this one one day when I get a GameCube I guess. Thank you for doing a review of these older games and making me understand what it was like for her playing them Boulder punch! (:
She's a keeper. Also for Veronica you don't need a GameCube, at least not only. You can get a Dreamcast (why tho) or a PlayStation 2. I believe PS2 version has the most content, but I might be wrong
Upd. : just remembered you can get Veronica for PlayStation 3 and 4, as well as for Xbox 360 (though not for Xbox One for some reason)
Ahh thanks I actually prefer PlayStation 2. Definitely want to try out Dino Crisis as well!!!
@@happyfossil9065
Dino Crisis is the shit, yeah, though the 1st one is brutal
Man I can't wait to try it. I know I will love it. Definitely really want Capcom to make a really cool remake of it
[Steve is suffering]
"Good."
Interesting how no one calls RE8 "silly" when the game is about you putting your chopped up and crystallised daughter back together and her somehow coming back to life after that and having magical powers to boot. Not to mention you fight werewolves. And a shapeshifting villain who instead of just murdering Ethan and Mia and taking Roze decides for some reason that it would be better to mimic Mia and play pretend housewife for reasons. But yeah, let's call other RE games "silly".
The knife was badass in this game!!
I love Code: Veronica and it wasn't my first RE game (as for most old fans, it was my 4th). The story has some issues but the atmosphere is unique - it is also the first RE game where characters are actually fleshed out a bit more. And the soundtrack is amazing, just like RE2's. RE0, on the other hand, is downright terrible.
1:54 Flagship didn't handle actual game development. It was a company created by Noboru Sugimura and Yoshiki Okamoto after RE2 to provide scripts to the game industry (mainly Capcom). As such, they were only in charge of the story. Development was mostly handled by Nextech, which was a third-party developer: SEGA did send some of its own people during the later phases to help out. The game director was Hiroki Kato, another Shinji Mikami's protege, who did work on RE1 and RE2 and was still a Capcom employee at that time.
They removed the "ballistics" and "overtime" lines from RE4 VR. If a CV remake would release and keep the "crossdressing freak" line, journalists and blue checkmarks would totally lose their shit and have a colossal meltdown.
it's a cringe line in the first place tho
not the ballistics, that one is amazing and witty but "you cross dressing freak" feels more mean spirited than funny, I'd like it more if it was something like "still hiding behind a screen huh? and btw I thought you'd were more makeup"
@@yaboyalijah352
If course it's mean spirited. He's an insane cruel cross-dressing freak that tries to kill you and has overseen multiple inhumane experiments. I don't care what people who are soft in the head say
How dare she say mean things to a villain who's trying to kill her.
@@steelbear2063 the tone of resident evil is campy until 7, that comes out of nowhere it's not being soft it's bad writing for the subject matter
Another great video as always, love your RE content. Plus, that DSP section, is my favorite of yours so far. Nothings as salty as his RE0 playthrough though. Big ups!
I have DSP bat footage to include in the (near future) RE Zero video.
I played Darkside Chronicles before I played CV. I feel Darkside did Steve's character much better. He actually feels like a person and not a parody. He's much more likeable.
Sam Reigal did the voice acting for Steve and he’s waaaay better. He’s a very competent voice actor who does A LOT of things and you’ve definitely heard him in plenty of places.
DSP is the lovable punching bag of the internet.
Spoony was slowly becoming a second DSP, but it never quite happened.
In the beginning of Resident Evil 2, Claire was just a civilian without previous combat experience and wasn't even trained like her brother and Jill. She turns into a badass during her brief stay in Raccoon City, manages to escape alive; and a few months later she was able to run from machine gun fire without being hit, and soon afterwards explodes a pile of fuel barrels to kill a bunch of mercenaries in the same room she was. And the shockwave doesn't even make a scratch! Damn, no bootcamp makes an unstoppable killing machine so fast as Racoon City.
Fudge the level design in CV... its the only RE game where I wouldn't know where to go and have to check every room across the whole map until something happened...overall its an alright game but the map itself I found frustrating...also I got up to the final boss without enough life and ammo so I didn't even get to finish the game...This has been my TED TALK
I actually played this game blind about 2 months ago, I bought on my PS4 because it was on sale and I never really played any of the “old” resident evil games besides the Resident evil remaster and 2 remaster. Gotta say while it frustrated the hell outta me with the instakill Hunters, boss battles and poison enemies, I enjoyed it. It’s not the best Resident Evil but also not the worst, I enjoyed it for what it was. I’m basically just agreeing with the video but yeah, that’s my take.
I’ve been binge watching all your reviews the last 2-3 days …
Awesome stuff & can’t praise them enough ..
I haven't played a second of CVX and I already like Alfred Ashford.
He looks like such a fun villain! That crossdressing freak line is kinda ehhhhh though.
I couldn't stand Code: Veronica. It was a mess. But oddly enough, it's the one Resident Evil game I'd most like to see remade, because it's the one RE game which would benefit the most from a remake.
IMO Steve's annoying but nowhere near as much as Ashley "LEON HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!" Graham.
I'm a new subscriber I absolutely love these survival horror reviews your commentary is dead on and also hilarious keep up the good work I'm off to binge-watch the rest of your videos now lol
Well said 👏...Same here 😉👍
The DSP joke killed me! Thanks for doing such quality work.
I mean they should melt down over that line. That's a pretty messed up line. Just because it's from the past doesn't change that part.
It insults crossdressing and would pretty blatantly be used against transgender people as well, it's terf shit even if it's a product of its' time.
Leon did get that moment with Claire in Infinite Darkness
This is my favorite Resident Evil story
I just recently played through all the classic RE games. I have only played 1 Remake and 0 back in the day..... well, and of course RE4 and the later modern RE games.
...and I was really surprised by Code Veronica. It felt like the series moved further away from interconnective levels and puzzle in favor of more and faster action with each installment. Nemesis could've been a hallway shooter for all intents and purposes.... and here comes Code Veronica, that opens with Clair dodging machinegun fire from a helicopter, has a slow motion drop to catch her gun and kills a room full of soldiers..... but this game is closer to the original than any other game in the series. While I found some parts borderline unfair (item exchange for example) I guess I'd rank it second after REmake 1..... not sure if I like it more than RE2 or just equally
1 like for suffering Steve
I want to add that Capcom has token down the RE Code Veronica remake thing implying that at the moment they are working on a remake.
The intro to this game made zero sense. Like they are going to gun her down with a helicopter with all their employees around then let her live after capturing her, especially after she blew up the explosive canisters behind armed guards.
After hearing them mentioned yet again, I'd LOVE to see you take a look at the (first two) Dino Crisis games.
Im not ashamed to admit im one of the people who put all their items away before fighting Alexia the first time, im proud to announce i managed to kill Alexia knife only after some 30 odd attempts
I like how we all agree we hate Steve.
Loved this! RE:CV is one of my favorite RE games.
this game is fucking awesome
If they remake this game in the same style as re4
Remove a bit of the cheese focus the story
Like ashford losing his mind over not knowing he was his own sister vould be an AMAZING scene
Steve dealing with his father
A lot of a great ideas with godawfull execution
And not a joke like in this game
14:16 Jesus you did Steve dirty 😅😂😭😭 “Steve what are you doing? Why are you in this game Steve?” Had me belly laughing
I'm new to your channel but man, I love how you rag on this Phil dude lmfao the basement track every time is a great touch lol
Pretty much the RE that jumped the shark. Not a bad game, but there's good reasons why sales declined and Shinji Mikami drastically changed the formula with RE4.
Code Veronica desperately needs a proper remake, not RE4. Definitely not RE4...
Totally agree.
I actually didn't know the game was this bad. If it was remade they'd essentially have to re-write the entire thing
Love Code Veronica because of Chris Claire and Wesker are all together.
I love the Piggler references in these vids🤑. Great review overall.
Claire only wore the mom jeans because Steve was the guy in the game. If it were Leon, she would have gone with something better
this is a good channel
He's very underrated and one of my favorite channels
"I'M SOERRY CLAIRE" 20:32
great video m'lord crezva. can't believe you reference DSP *snort, the dark lord spaniard and Resident Evil. A++ channel.
Code Veronica is plain awesome
11:36 yep, I woke up my wife at 3am roaring with laughter at a Smashing Pumpkins joke
Resident evil 7 took the series back to its roots just for re8 to make v jolt and dump it on them roots
Hey, 8 was great. You're just being mean.
@@DinoDave150 8 is as much of an action game as 6 was. I agree that it's a fun game to play but it's not resident evil and I shudder to think where the series goes from here.
@@Fahrenheit38 Respectfully disagree. It still has that RE B movie charm to it and I would play it over 5 or 6.
@@DinoDave150 movie? I'm confused what your talking about. Re8 is a action game with horror elements where 7 was a horror game
Ahhh I see what ya did there
Thank you foe the video ! Your commentary is spot on. I discovered the series late with RE4 and, progressively, went back in time to experience the earlier installments that created the foundations. RE1 was a nice retrogaming experience, RE2 was a blast, RE3 was beginning to get even more action-focused and pushing it with the puzzles gimmicks, but those are titles I could come back to- not Code Veronica. RE have always been silly and this is part of its charm (even though I am bemused to see some fervently defending the games' numerous plotholes) but Code Veronica goes off the chart regarding the backtracking and fetchquests (one of the worst offending moments is all you need to do in order to get a secret ladder to appear). Too tedious and frustrating to often and indeed, a REmake for this one is quite unlikely. But I do not think we would be missing out...
Resident Evil has never really been "on the rails", so to speak.
Except 0. 0 was on the rails-until the training facility, that is...
I love Steve as a character, but they need to change the storyline and get him a new voice actor! Claire did really like Steve and Steve had a thing for Claire so I want to see their relationship grow if there is a remake for CV!
With the Tyrant battle, I visited a friend's house and he was stumped by this section. I went back with his save data and finished it for him. I guess having the dreamcast version first then getting the ps2 version as a gift from my brother helped out.
I loved the first Christmas section on the island,thought it was a stroke of genius how they changed the layout
This is in my top 10 games. Loved it then, love it now!
Peak of the series right here. This and 2 are the best games.
Code Veronica really should get a remake it was good enough to deserve one and quite probably the one that would benefit the most story wise .. plus it sets up wesker far better as a global threat better then the small cameo in 4 has ahead of an inevitable 5 remake
Man this game has a special place in my heart. It was the first RE I owned and beat proper
Otherwise I only rented the originals or played at a friend's house. And I was still pretty young and scared by them
This one really sparked my love for the series. Had X on PS2. Later bought the originals and played the hell out of them and then a GameCube for the remake. Every mainline game I've played since
Buuuuuuut... I think Code Veronica has aged like shit. Revisiting it I can see how bland and uninspired in design most environments are. How decidedly not scary it is.
And how terrible the story/characters/voice acting is. This really is where the game changed from a B movie horror conspiracy story
To a bad anime
well they cap com did shut down the fan remake so.... one can hope
I honestly would just love a reboot of the series take alot of the lore we have and just reboot the game as if we never met knew anything.i find it so wierd that they remade re 2 and 3 but not 1?that could of been the full reboot I wanted but instead we have 2 and 3 remakes without 1.i have no clue if remake 1 is cannon with remake 2 and 3....this series is just a mess
I cant stress enough how much i want a remake of code veronica. Mostly cuz i cant beat the original code veronica X. I would like get a chance to beat the remake atleast😂
This is the only fixed camera re i don’t replay a ton because i always forget to save ammo for the plane fight and rage quit
Which is a shame because new players wouldn't have any idea what to expect...
This game is worth it for the PS2 version where Wesker shows Alexia what's up before telling Chris to handle his lightweight. 😂
Adore this game, never understood the hate
Hes an idiot. Game is beloved by most fans
@@godofwar2k6reborn no it isn't what planet do you live on?
It's very controversial
Too many opportunities for soft locks and way too much backtracking(even for RE) IMO. Not to mention the cheesy story. The graphics were amazing at the time though.
Same.
The most regretful thing with the game is the censorship: Ashord were nazis (that's why you see German symbols everywhere), serious atmosphere, bye bye headshot. The major issue is Capcom didn't fully develop the game. And the worst thing: Steve... That guy is so stupid.
I like Code Veronica. But yeah... it gets silly.
@Craig Adams Tell me on which points, and I'll answer you.
In fact Ashfords were originally called Krueger, with Alexis being named Hilda
@@darkservantofheaven Exact.
Steve is what Capcom think their target market is.
Your DSP clips always get me
I didn’t know you’re from Canada Live you’re videos from a fellow Canadian! Keep it up love you’re RE videos!
Steve, why are you trying to kiss that unconscious woman? You're making it really hard to root for you, Steve.
I actually think Steve's Kind of cute.
Youre a pedophile then
Imo this is the best game of the fixed camera angles era. Yeah it's a longer game but the whole gameplay is outstanding. Lots of puzzles as well an true re fans this is a must.
This is actually my favourite RE
You really under-sold the God-Hand... aka the knife from Code Veronica. There has never been a better knife than this one. Its as if the knife was a secret chainsaw. You slash an enemy on the ground and it hits like 5 times per swipe.
This was baby's first Resident Evil for me. My mom is not with him anymore but I remember my first step dad playing this. My Mom hated it and honestly when I told her that I was a fan she was just over it. But honestly the characters in The scam are just like the most fun and the most ridiculous and I absolutely adore all of them.
