The fact its though s radio I think glad they did that that laugh ive got a cousin that hates it but im a betrayer crazy laughter is one of life's pleasure that will make me laugh 😃
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. Peace!
Yeah it's interesting to see how similar they are. Man, Kendo's videos are so good! And thanks to that video a lot of people came to my tiny little channel to see more CV.
25:22 Laughing Montage. Gotta give credit to the actor and actress playing Alfred/Alfred as Alexia (when speaking as Alexia cross-dressing) because they both act-out the same laugh in Alfred's mannerisms, so always got a good chuckle out of them both making sure to get that right while playing as Alfred.
@@raccooncitycinema I always thought he was underappreciated. I know his voice is kinda annoying but it makes sense how he is when you look into his backstory. Also really like his "redemption" arc.
yeah, this and re0 are the most replayable re games to me. they are the most challenging and have the most interesting environments imo. just can't seem to get tired of those 2 games no matter how many times i play them.
does anyone actually fall for this? someone posts a comment on an older video advertising some app or whatever and 10 mins later someone else comments saying it took 20 mins but it worked. weird how he spent 20 mins messing with it in a 10 min period... i know there are a lot of unintelligent people on youtube, but i can't imagine any being that stupid
@@Jack_80 yeah avoid it I doubt its rewarding and illegal and could be a gateway so they can hack you ivr seen a lot of them lately over 10+ so far if feels vary scammy if you do it be careful though ok
@@Jack_80 I tryed thinking but it's impoable I can only agree the same 2 are best of the best the others good but degrading down a list don't ask my worse one I don't think I could choose ited be rushed like 7 but Iver never played 7 soooo it unfair to rank it
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!
There is one more difference that wasn't metioned. The extra cutscene in where Chris saves Clare in your first playthrough I belive. The extra chore in where you have to go and get the cure for the poison. Been a while since I've played through it. This video made me want to replay it again. There were a few secrets that I didn't know so thank you for that 🔥
Right, that's only if Claire gets poisoned during the fight with Nosferatu. I didn't mention another one: if you don't give the medicine to Rodrigo as Claire the dialogue will be different when he meets Chris. Thanks!
@@raccooncitycinema I was once read that if u use the blue emblems but mix them where to go first Rodriguez has different dialogues sorry my ps2 game was broken so can't confirm it
Steve was a misunderstood character, I never really got annoyed or hated him, I thought there's story reason for his personality, you can't expect every RE character to be as matured and be like other character we've known from other series., after all he apologized to Claire for his behavior at the beginning
One thing Steve as a character definitely pulled off, where many many others from RE have failed: He was memorable. Whether it's comments like yours, or others criticizing his personality or voice, Steve just pops into conversation.
I thought he was great and absolutely hilarious. I just beat the game for the first time today, but the goofiness and horror is the entire reason I came back to these games from my childhood and now I actually have the ability to play properly. Steve was one of my favorite characters in this game. Him killing that Bandersnatch like Neo killed me
I get the feeling if they ever remake CV They will "update" and lose everything that made it special in the first place. It won't be a Ham and Cheese sandwich anymore.
omg the rat is finally explained for me, did a playthrough an first person mode and found the rat in a cabinet in the room with the body bag zombie just staring at you.
i also forgot to say the reason for steve being faster than claire is just because hes a male and shes a female,most video games did that years ago ,even though she is faster from a logical pov
@@andrewuk2781 you're actually correct and even mikami tried to enforce that as long as he was in charge for example,re 1 jill was considered easy because oh how far you could progress thanks to the lockpick unlike chris who simply had to find extra keys for everything,that's why it was balanced with the amount of hits they could take and yes,that also remained in the remake 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 so on,and so on
CVX is such a special pocket in time for me. A reminder of simpler and happier times. Cold, foggy and rainy mornings when I’d wake up to have some mindless zombie fun. I always look back on it fondly alongside Metal Gear Solid 2 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.
From what I heard, Steve is quite popular with the Japanese audience. The Food war mangaka who did the resident evil/biohazard manga series sometime drew him and Claire together for the new year celebration
CVX is easily my second favorite RE game (after REmake). I get to play as my two favorite characters, how much better can it be? This video was very insightful, kinda cool to learn all these little secrets about a game I absolutely adore.
As a huge fan of the series Code Veronica has always been my guilty pleasure of the games, and just listening to some things I had no idea about after so many years was super awesome. Thank you for the video! 🙂
This will always be tied with the original RE2 as my favorite survival horror game. Each location drips with atmosphere and the game's devs had a great understanding of how to balance ham with awesome.
Sadly the guide left out one great way of escaping Steve with no damage. The B.O.W rounds for the grenade launcher causes Steve to flinch for quite some time.
@Jacky Jones That's true, also most people use the B.O.W rounds for the Ice Tyrant on the plane. But it is still a guaranteed way to escape Steve without taking damage.
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.
Very well put about Rockfort Island! Glad to hear they're your favorites. RE2 was my first RE game followed by CV, so they'll always have that special feeling.
@@raccooncitycinema Yeah, almost the same story here. RE2 was my first RE fix but, before I could play anything else, I stumbled upon a magazine detailing the upcoming games in the series: RE3, the N64 version of 2, and this mysterious CODE: Veronica of which they only had grainy and overexposed screenshots of video footage taken at an event but it was being presented as the "true RE3". I obsessed over it for a few years, since I didn't have a Dreamcast.
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.
That is awesome too! I actually like Steve and always defend him, but that kiss scene was indefensible. So thank you for telling me about that and giving me some ammunition. Looks like I've got to catch up on my reading too. 🤣 Your insight is much appreciated, thank you!
@@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.
Castlevania SOTN had a corny tune over the credits as well I remember. If you know when the game came out I think it has a certain charm, like the often bad voice acting lol
i cant be the only one who honestly love Steve, like it gets tiring to hear hate comments from people who disregard his char development all because of his voice
There were some comments from other Steve fans here, and even a few who gained a new appreciation for him after watching this vid! But yeah, you're definitely outnumbered.
Maybe, because it's not just voice, but his behaviour of really young teen that definitely wants to impress the girl he likes (not sure about love, but "likes" is a good word in this case, i think) by showing her how overawesome he is. And, if you come to think of it, he is too lively & healthy for a man, that was in prison, where tortures, executions, sadistic experiments & other horrible doings were common site. Feels somewhat out of place, maybe?
I played the version where Wesker ran off without even trying. It's was so funny to me when Chris couldn't handle Wesker but he has a chance with her? Hahaha!
That VMU for the Dreamcast was great, because it displayed your health condition, maybe your ammo too. But definitely your condition. That was mind blowing for an 11 year old me, that was my 4th RE game at the time. So im not sure i can stress just how cool that was then.
@@raccooncitycinema Idk if you had the Sonic game or not. But you could disconnect the VMU, and it had a sort of minigame. Youd catch these things called Chaos, amd om the VMUs youd raise them like a Tomagatchi.
@@justinfbabay Yes! That was crazy way back in the day! I think I played the Skies of Arcadia one quite a bit. I went to school and got items during recess haha
Code Veronica was a highlight in the series for sure I remember buying it for the Dreamcast and that was all I played for so long. Definitely one of the best
That's some great information! I didn't know this game still holds so many secrets I didn't know about! And I also think that Resident Evil Code Veronica X gives the player a lot of ammunition and many different types of weapons. I ended up with so much ammunition for the weapons that I could easily afford to waste some Fire Grenades on Zombies.
For sure! I went to all the trouble of getting the magnum only to leave it untouched in the item box because I had so many other weapons. And not to mention arguably the best knife in the series!
yeah but that came with the cost of loosing time and tbh i think that's a brilliant way to balance the game difficulty want more ammo and better weapons? take some time to go around and you'll find it BUT it will lower your score AND it's almost unnecessary because the enemies spawn and change a lot
Thank you! There's some really interesting and exclusive lore hidden away in these books. I've got a small mountain of them waiting to go. So thanks for supporting this project!
Agreed. It was by far the most challenging RE title I've played. It was incredibly stressful Unlocking the Infinite Rocket Launcher on both my PS2 and Gamecube (all my friends begged me to lend them my memory cards to avoid the hard work of doing it 😄). But yeah... it was fun and challenging.
@@raccooncitycinema oh am down for a remake! I would love to see the characters in the new RE engine and get to experience the same locations with high quality graphics, they could use some adjustments to better up the gameplay like alexia’s boss fight or the play switch between Chris and Claire, it would be dream come true to have the same or really close voice actors for the characters ( except Steve) to keep same identity with better performance, i would love to have extra story plot with Chris and Wesker interaction, the Ashford past, Steve or even Rodriguez’s backstory. I could go on and on about this topic lol , in conclusion i would love to have a remake of this game and even if it wasn’t great in my personal preference, i could go back to the old one and enjoy it like i always do 🙏🏼
I thought RE: Survivor was the first Resident Evil outside Raccoon City. That being said, it's a flawless video! Made me want to play again Code Veronica.
You're absolutely right! It was one month earlier. I guess I had momentary amnesia like Ark Thompson. And thank you! Replaying this was a blast, hope you enjoy, too.
No problem, thanks for watching! And yeah, I spent too much time on it, but I was also learning the software. I'll probably revisit this book one day and translate more of it, like the monster section
Seeing the comparison of how you play changes cutscenes (had no idea) I played this in a quick, gun happy fashion lol, I loved this game back in the day, this is the one I've been waiting for capom to remake
@16:40 about the Nazi reference some sources also claim that the Rockfort Island prison was equated to a Concentration Camp. Although that does seem plausible, it's not just the Ashfords themselves but also the way it portrays the Umbrella Corporation's evil experimentation on the prisoners as well that could also be algorithed to it. 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.
That makes a lot of sense! It's such a shame we'll never get to take down Umbrella the way CV's ending set it up. Wonder what they did with that Harrier...
Learned a ton of stuff from this one! You win a sub from me, good sir! CV is probably my second favorite, just after the original RE3, but nothing was quite like playing it on the Dreamcast back when it first came out. Nothing makes me quite as nostalgic for middle school as the sound of the VMU beeping and this game spinning up to that awesome opening cutscene.
Thank you! Finished this game for the second time a few months ago, such great memories playing it in my childhood. I'm glad you appreciate it too, amazing video!
I love the campiness of this game. I've been a fan of the series since RE1 on PSX and always saw the series as B-movies in video game form. This game isn't any different I don't think.
That's pretty cool. This was actually the guide I used for my first playthrough of the game which was the Japanese version. The reason I even bought the game was for that Devil May Cry Trial Demo though lol.
@@raccooncitycinema DMC for sure. As a fan of the beat em up genre, it was the first one in 3D that really took it to the next level. There wasn't anything like it at the time. Code Veronica isn't a game I particularly love in the series but it was the first RE game I actually finished despite playing 1 and 2 a lot at the friends house. Tbf we were like 9 or 10 when we played those.
Funfact: the Japanese version of Code Veronica X was called "Code Veronica Kanzenban." For those who doesn't know, kanzenban means "Complete Edition" Suggesting that the original release was incomplete, and consumers got screwed. Nice going there Capcom.
Absolutely love code veronica since it came out on the dreamcast the way the game moves when played blew my mind I love the still back drops in previous games but this had its own style and atmosphere, a remake would be great too,nice video .
I remember there is a glitch in code Veronica using the manual and a green herb and you get an unlimited green herb that never leaves your inventory you can even pass it on to Chris if you leave it in a box
Yes if Claire leaves it in a box before the nasfarato battle when you start as Chris it will be in the box. Also when playing as Claire if you put the fire extinguisher in a box chris can refill it and use it to get the magnum
Code Veronica was a mixture of 2 step forward 1 step back. In terms of graphic and more choice of weapons, it has improved the RE series. But gameplay wise it was outdated by then even RE3 which had older graphic, but gameplay and technical side on control scheme was superior as it introduce the Dodge Move and less cheesy story
2:51 I'm back to provide just a few insights: - Shinji Mikami had shared a lot of data (conceptual artworks, photos, information, footage of the beta version, etc) to the French TV channel FunTV (that very channel who also made the behind the scenes videos of Silent Hill 2 and 3, available as an additional disc in the PAL versions of these games) for them to create a documentary about the making of Code Veronica. Among other things you mentioned in this video, one of the info was that Steve's hair was indeed changed because his early design looked a lot like DiCaprio. An archive, shorter version of this documentary (and other ones, about the making of other entries of the series) can be watched in the TH-cam channel Biohasard France. It's obviously not in English though. - Moreoever, I finished reading the Code Veronica novel by SD Perry a couple of months ago. And, when Claire sees Steve for the first time, she does mention his ressemblance with DiCaprio. She doesn't say his name but comment on how he reminds her of "this actor from Titanic". It is worth reminding that the SD Perry's novelizationsvof each entry were overseen by Capcom. Not much, but I hope it provided a complementary information.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!!! Incredibly interesting too! No one has ever mentioned it was in the SD Perry novels to me. That's really cool. Time to watch everything on Biohazard France and see how much French I still remember from high school 😁
@@raccooncitycinema Ahah glad I could help. :) I would definitely recommend the SD Perry's novels to any Resident Evil fans, honestly. They contain an insane amount of details about our favourite characters, and also add the great subplot of Trent (which is, by the way, even referenced in the movie Welcome to Raccoon City: the little electronic device Wesker used in this movie directly comes from the novelization of the first game, except it's used by Jill to solve some puzzles). The ones that are additional stories and not direct retelling of the games (like Caliban Cove) are worth the read too. And, seeing the dedication and passion you put in sharing those Japanese guidebooks, I'm sure you'd enjoy finding more of the characters's backstories, which are developed in them. Ahah, good luck! :) They've really provided great exclusive content, even translating Japanese documentaries about the franchise themselves (also through their website, which was the opportunity for me to get access to most of Capcom's Japanese exclusive elements, fan-translated in my language).
@@shibitoobscura3348 Thanks for letting me know about all that! Sadly I've only ever read Caliban Cove. And I still haven't seen Welcome to Raccoon City (because just had a baby). But you've really sold me on the books. I'll keep looking for some affordable copies online. And that's awesome about Biohazard France. Spent only a few minutes browsing their channel and already found some cool stuff!
This is so cool! I should get someone to translate this Japanese RE2 Guide I got about the "Arrange Mode" that is apparently just the Western Release's difficulty. Since it was rebalanced for each region as they released and then got put back into the other version as the Arrange Mode in later re-releases, I think! Would love to know more specifics about it~ Some versions of RE3 and Dino Crisis also have Arrange Modes I found in my research but like only on the old Japanese PC release or something? There's a hidden treasure trove of unknown information there I think!
@@raccooncitycinema Oh hey! Sorry, I think I missed this comment back then. If you were still interested I think I could provide scans sometime soon! Where would I send such a thing for you to see when I can get some scanning in?
6:51 you forgot to said if you leave this proof for last you avoid trigger the scene on the alfred's room after the confrontation scene and steve said "ok that's it, lets get out of here"! and the self destruction system will not be activated there
Hold up, I am back a year later and somehow must have not paid attention to the assault rifle trick before! It's such a game changer for the battle game and just helped me a get a crazy good time for Claire B. Thanks for the tip!
Code veronica has always been my favourite Resi game, the newer ones (4 onwards) where they moved away from zombies isn't my thing. I have played the game so much and find myself always going back to it every other year, It's honestly one of my fav games of all time. Sure it's cheesy at times but the move into 3d was nice and it played great, i loved the setting and the cross segments between claire and chris on rockfort was cool. I love it but i don't want a remake... why? Well Resi 2 was great (3 a flop) but despite it being modern, the slow door scenes as you change area was big on this game (the heartbeat always got me!) but above all... i dunno if they could ever master the enjoyment this game still gives me almost 20 years on.
Totally mindblown that there were still stuff left for me to know about this game! This was my first RE game and oh man this hits nostalgia. Capcom should remake it damn it. Anyways great video, I thoroughly enjoyed and I thank TH-cam for showing you in my recommendations haha. You just gained a new subscriber. Looking forward to your next videos.
Thank you! I've got a different survival horror game vid coming next, but I'd love to do another RE translation project. If you come across any Japanese info that hasn't been covered by anyone lemme know!
It's a good game, some of the item locations and puzzles are just straight up bizarre even by resident evil standards. But very enjoyable. Thanks for the info, I'm going to have to tack this book down.
Code Veronica is an awesome entry and often forgotten as one of the most pioneering. It was the first to feature dual-wielding, especially the fact there are multiple weapons that can be dual-wielded. There is the integration of a permanent camera so a lot of transitions could happen in real-time (the elevator in the fire extinguisher refilling room for example). The first true first person mode (gun survivor doesn't count thanks to the awful attempt at hybridising movement and rail shooter). As an og Dreamcast player what really made it stand out was the length, even if you know all the solutions it is not a short game, it's A rank time is still even longer than RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake. Only 4 really compares on that front. Also, fun fact, the Dreamcast og doesn't feature the infinite herb glitch, as the playing manual is not in your inventory when you start the game.
So I always been in love with Claire, I won't even deny it, but seeing her shut out Steve. I feel like I've transcended to another plain where only Lady D fans are at.
Code Veronica was my first ps2 game I love RE series since I was a kid and after I bought ps2 and I saw RECVX was on display, I immediately pick it up along with my new ps2
You should have mentioned this is the game that introduced us to the busted god weapon which is the knife. I hoard so much ammo using the knife up to bandersnatch by the time i got to alexia i had over 300 handgun, over 120 shells, and a considerable amount of healing herbs and first aid sprays. We know to fear the knife but in this game one must BE the knife.
Haha thumbs up for BE the knife. I think I had a line about how good it is originally. I'll probably do another video about the monsters of CV because yeah, I see a lot of people online saying they run out of ammo
They should have let us fight Wesker in CV but one of my favorite RE's. Best Claire ever. Sitting on that Big Comfy Couch. I did uber Alexander with the knife on GameCube and never got the scene. Worst laughing ever in a ..... well anything. Movie, TV and Gaming. Uh that had some fast bursts when you pressed the button repeatedly
Man, that blew my mind to learn she played Claire. haha yeah, that was me trying my hardest to mash that button to show it's actually faster. But whenever I tried it against an enemy I couldn't seem to match it
@@raccooncitycinema I hope you'll talk more about Biohazard Guidebooks, there are a lot of information in these books, plotwise especially, and I don't read Japanese well enough
Actually I'm working on one right now (mostly for secrets and character bios though). Hope to finish this month (the Code Veronica one took 3 months...)
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
I still own the English language guide book for RECVX. It's distinctly 'meh.' With tiny little blurry screenshots. But the game itself is one I have to play every now and again. Like a few other commentors here, it's one of my favourite RE's.
@@outlawzqc because that won't bring in the big bucks anymore yeah,I'm pissed that they're listening to the normies who bitched since day one about everything(the controls,the voice acting,the plot) like if they knew shit about the gold we were being given but we have to accept it,it's a business,they're not doing it for the fun
Alfred's laugh never gets old. The best one is in the room before facing the elastic guy.
haha yeah, that one is definitely the best
The fact its though s radio I think glad they did that that laugh ive got a cousin that hates it but im a betrayer crazy laughter is one of life's pleasure that will make me laugh 😃
If anything, this game’s villains had great fake villain laughs, very contagious
@@TheAstralFencer MWAHAHAHAAAAAAA lol
It was funny AF.
🤣🤣🤣
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 :/...
Couldn't agree more!
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.
@@goldenlordofnightmares You're absolutely right!
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.

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.
Peace!
Loved DC, but yeah... it failed every storyline, especially CV.
I loved how the SD Perry novelization of Code Veronica had Claire refer to Alfred as a Froot Loop lmao
god alyson brought claire to life
Couldn't agree more!
Totally agree.
speaking of Nazi connections, the Golden Lugers may be a relation to Hermann Görings Golden Luger
can thank Kendogunshop for that bit of information

I love that Claire's tone when she's asking Steve for the P.08s does not change at all no matter how close he came to dying.
Context of that scene is important
It’s so funny how in the original wesker gets pimp slapped and just leaves
hahaha Wesker to his HCF buddies right after "I didn't get the sample... she pimp slapped me!"
Well, it's official: there's not a single thing I didn't already know. Thank you for that maniacal laugh edit at the end lmao
haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Knowing that Steve is a literal child makes that mutation scene even harder to watch 😫
Yeah, that scene is way more unsettling than I remember
Makes me want to play the game through again for the umpteenth time
Don't forget to do the "extravagant turn" haha

@@Jack_80 I tryed thinking but it's impoable I can only agree the same 2 are best of the best the others good but degrading down a list don't ask my worse one I don't think I could choose ited be rushed like 7 but Iver never played 7 soooo it unfair to rank it
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!
That's a good point! Steve was robbed of pretty much everyrhing. And thank you!!
I don't know if he was there for THAAAT long, maybe a few months.
There is one more difference that wasn't metioned. The extra cutscene in where Chris saves Clare in your first playthrough I belive. The extra chore in where you have to go and get the cure for the poison.
Been a while since I've played through it. This video made me want to replay it again. There were a few secrets that I didn't know so thank you for that 🔥
Right, that's only if Claire gets poisoned during the fight with Nosferatu.
I didn't mention another one: if you don't give the medicine to Rodrigo as Claire the dialogue will be different when he meets Chris.
Thanks!
@@raccooncitycinema I dont even remember her getting poisoned :O
Love this game
@@KaoticReach1999 you need to get hit by the purple gas clouds to get poisoned
@@raccooncitycinema I was once read that if u use the blue emblems but mix them where to go first Rodriguez has different dialogues sorry my ps2 game was broken so can't confirm it
I loved this game. I remember being blown away when I found out there was a chris scenario lol
hahaha Chris had such a badass entrance! ...Except for dropping the bag
Steve was a misunderstood character, I never really got annoyed or hated him, I thought there's story reason for his personality, you can't expect every RE character to be as matured and be like other character we've known from other series., after all he apologized to Claire for his behavior at the beginning
It's not really Steve as much as its the voice actor's directed performance combined with the piss poor dialogue that makes him so insufferable.
His voice alone makes you wanna kill someone. Not even most people trying intentionally to be annoying are as annoying as him.
One thing Steve as a character definitely pulled off, where many many others from RE have failed:
He was memorable. Whether it's comments like yours, or others criticizing his personality or voice, Steve just pops into conversation.
His VA is why people hate him. somehow he's worse than classic RE1's voice acting
I thought he was great and absolutely hilarious. I just beat the game for the first time today, but the goofiness and horror is the entire reason I came back to these games from my childhood and now I actually have the ability to play properly. Steve was one of my favorite characters in this game. Him killing that Bandersnatch like Neo killed me
I get the feeling if they ever remake CV
They will "update" and lose everything that made it special in the first place.
It won't be a Ham and Cheese sandwich anymore.
Yeah you're right. Just looking at Darkside Chronicles and you can see what a different flavor it had.
omg the rat is finally explained for me, did a playthrough an first person mode and found the rat in a cabinet in the room with the body bag zombie just staring at you.
i also forgot to say the reason for steve being faster than claire is just because hes a male and shes a female,most video games did that years ago ,even though she is faster from a logical pov
from a logical pov sex doesn't matter
I thought back in the day male characters would be stronger but slower and female characters weaker but faster. At least that's how I remember it.
@@andrewuk2781 you're actually correct and even mikami tried to enforce that as long as he was in charge
for example,re 1 jill was considered easy because oh how far you could progress thanks to the lockpick unlike chris who simply had to find extra keys for everything,that's why it was balanced with the amount of hits they could take and yes,that also remained in the remake
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
so on,and so on
@@andrewuk2781 sometimes that was the case,but alot of the time the men were faster,and the girls were like good at puzzles or some dumb crap
CVX is such a special pocket in time for me. A reminder of simpler and happier times. Cold, foggy and rainy mornings when I’d wake up to have some mindless zombie fun. I always look back on it fondly alongside Metal Gear Solid 2 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.
From what I heard, Steve is quite popular with the Japanese audience. The Food war mangaka who did the resident evil/biohazard manga series sometime drew him and Claire together for the new year celebration
Oh, cool! Wasn't aware of that, thanks
@@raccooncitycinema this deviantart that showed his drawing www.deviantart.com/steve-fan-club
Wow, steve fan club!
Thanks for the link
I hope when CV is remake, Steve portrait and personality are showcased better so the fans don't hate for his voice
CVX is easily my second favorite RE game (after REmake). I get to play as my two favorite characters, how much better can it be? This video was very insightful, kinda cool to learn all these little secrets about a game I absolutely adore.
They had such a good relationship in this game, especially for being "genetically inferior siblings" haha
And thank you!
You would be my buddy
As a huge fan of the series Code Veronica has always been my guilty pleasure of the games, and just listening to some things I had no idea about after so many years was super awesome. Thank you for the video! 🙂
Glad to hear it! I was hoping this vid would be like a resource for the community to share the info in this book
This will always be tied with the original RE2 as my favorite survival horror game. Each location drips with atmosphere and the game's devs had a great understanding of how to balance ham with awesome.
I'm right there with you! CV always felt like an extrapolation of RE2 to me.
Code Veronica is honestly my favorite resident evil game.
my fav old school re game no doubt
It's masterpieces level……😊
It is said that this is the real RE3, Our current one is a fake……😜
Sadly the guide left out one great way of escaping Steve with no damage. The B.O.W rounds for the grenade launcher causes Steve to flinch for quite some time.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing.
P.S. Excellent name and icon you got there
@Jacky Jones That's true, also most people use the B.O.W rounds for the Ice Tyrant on the plane. But it is still a guaranteed way to escape Steve without taking damage.
Wow, I would've thought! I'll try that when I replay RE:CV.
Is a very nice tip, but is a shame that I save the Grenade launcher to Chris to destroy Alexia with acid rounds
@@UrdnotWrex88 i use the explosive bow arrows it frees up resources for later.
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.
Very well put about Rockfort Island! Glad to hear they're your favorites. RE2 was my first RE game followed by CV, so they'll always have that special feeling.
@@raccooncitycinema Yeah, almost the same story here. RE2 was my first RE fix but, before I could play anything else, I stumbled upon a magazine detailing the upcoming games in the series: RE3, the N64 version of 2, and this mysterious CODE: Veronica of which they only had grainy and overexposed screenshots of video footage taken at an event but it was being presented as the "true RE3". I obsessed over it for a few years, since I didn't have a Dreamcast.
Now this deserves a remake absolutely!
Yeah, I wish we got CV before Re4, but it'll be interesting to see how they handle 4, and what gets toned down.
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.
That is awesome too! I actually like Steve and always defend him, but that kiss scene was indefensible. So thank you for telling me about that and giving me some ammunition.
Looks like I've got to catch up on my reading too. 🤣 Your insight is much appreciated, thank you!
@@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.
the original ending sounded like your typical ending to a 90s Japanese fighter game.
haha I'll have to take your word, don't think I was good enough to see any!
Castlevania SOTN had a corny tune over the credits as well I remember. If you know when the game came out I think it has a certain charm, like the often bad voice acting lol
i cant be the only one who honestly love Steve, like it gets tiring to hear hate comments from people who disregard his char development all because of his voice
There were some comments from other Steve fans here, and even a few who gained a new appreciation for him after watching this vid!
But yeah, you're definitely outnumbered.
Maybe, because it's not just voice, but his behaviour of really young teen that definitely wants to impress the girl he likes (not sure about love, but "likes" is a good word in this case, i think) by showing her how overawesome he is.
And, if you come to think of it, he is too lively & healthy for a man, that was in prison, where tortures, executions, sadistic experiments & other horrible doings were common site. Feels somewhat out of place, maybe?
I felt so sorry for him and cried when he you know what
I like Steve and I felt bad what the end of his story arc.
I don't like his original version
Holy shit I straight up thought the Code: Veronica file wasn't in the Dreamcast version, so now I'm mind blown. Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks for watching! Glad there was something useful here
RE2 original and Code veronica will always be my favourite RE games. Great video
I'm with you on that. And thank you!
I didn't know half of these secrets ... Thanks man :)
Thanks as always and glad there was something new for you! Wonder what other info is locked away in other guides...
Very fond memories of this game. Definitely scratched that RE itch
Thank you so much for sharing this! This game was my high school early college childhood.
Thanks for watching and all the comments! There's something about Code Veronica that feels so nostalgic
I played the version where Wesker ran off without even trying. It's was so funny to me when Chris couldn't handle Wesker but he has a chance with her? Hahaha!
lol yeah you're right!
Creepy music* “Oh? I need those... give them to meee”
That VMU for the Dreamcast was great, because it displayed your health condition, maybe your ammo too. But definitely your condition. That was mind blowing for an 11 year old me, that was my 4th RE game at the time. So im not sure i can stress just how cool that was then.
haha yeah the VMU really felt like the future. I bet you can hear the beeping noise in your head right now
@@raccooncitycinema Oh yeah that lovely 5-10 second long beep indicating your VMU battery was approaching death when youd power on the Dreamcast lol?
@@raccooncitycinema Idk if you had the Sonic game or not. But you could disconnect the VMU, and it had a sort of minigame. Youd catch these things called Chaos, amd om the VMUs youd raise them like a Tomagatchi.
@@justinfbabay Yes! That was crazy way back in the day! I think I played the Skies of Arcadia one quite a bit. I went to school and got items during recess haha
Code Veronica was a highlight in the series for sure I remember buying it for the Dreamcast and that was all I played for so long. Definitely one of the best
Same here! Always good to hear from another CV fan 😁
That's some great information! I didn't know this game still holds so many secrets I didn't know about!
And I also think that Resident Evil Code Veronica X gives the player a lot of ammunition and many different types of weapons. I ended up with so much ammunition for the weapons that I could easily afford to waste some Fire Grenades on Zombies.
For sure! I went to all the trouble of getting the magnum only to leave it untouched in the item box because I had so many other weapons. And not to mention arguably the best knife in the series!
yeah but that came with the cost of loosing time and tbh i think that's a brilliant way to balance the game difficulty
want more ammo and better weapons? take some time to go around and you'll find it BUT it will lower your score AND it's almost unnecessary because the enemies spawn and change a lot
Don't mind me just on a binge. Digging the RE content man it's pretty cool to see the guides, never knew they existed
Thank you! There's some really interesting and exclusive lore hidden away in these books. I've got a small mountain of them waiting to go. So thanks for supporting this project!
Code Veronica truly is one of the best Resident evils. very underrated.
Yeah, it really deserved to be a numbered title
RE:CV is one of my favorite RE games of all time.
@Ryu Ken Guile Nash Chun Li Rose Sakura Dhalsim Gen nah, your must have covid n lack taste. But it's ok, get well soon 💕
@Ryu Ken Guile Nash Chun Li Rose Sakura Dhalsim Gen you must like re4 to say this..go play fortnite kid
Agreed. It was by far the most challenging RE title I've played. It was incredibly stressful Unlocking the Infinite Rocket Launcher on both my PS2 and Gamecube (all my friends begged me to lend them my memory cards to avoid the hard work of doing it 😄). But yeah... it was fun and challenging.
My favorite RE game for 20 years now ❤️
Great video keep the good work 👌🏻
Nice! How would you feel about a remake then?
And thank you!
@@raccooncitycinema oh am down for a remake! I would love to see the characters in the new RE engine and get to experience the same locations with high quality graphics, they could use some adjustments to better up the gameplay like alexia’s boss fight or the play switch between Chris and Claire, it would be dream come true to have the same or really close voice actors for the characters ( except Steve) to keep same identity with better performance, i would love to have extra story plot with Chris and Wesker interaction, the Ashford past, Steve or even Rodriguez’s backstory.
I could go on and on about this topic lol , in conclusion i would love to have a remake of this game and even if it wasn’t great in my personal preference, i could go back to the old one and enjoy it like i always do 🙏🏼
You should work for Capcom cuz I'd love to see your ideas in a remake! Especially a little mpre backstory on Rodrigo
I thought RE: Survivor was the first Resident Evil outside Raccoon City.
That being said, it's a flawless video! Made me want to play again Code Veronica.
You're absolutely right! It was one month earlier. I guess I had momentary amnesia like Ark Thompson.
And thank you! Replaying this was a blast, hope you enjoy, too.
@@raccooncitycinema Hope you didn't thought you were a blonde psychopath while amnesiac =p
You are welcome! And you have one more subscriber now.
Thank you so much for this video, it must have taken a long time to interpret all of the guide I shall enjoy it
No problem, thanks for watching! And yeah, I spent too much time on it, but I was also learning the software. I'll probably revisit this book one day and translate more of it, like the monster section
Nice dude, hope you get more views for this
Thanks so much! This took about 2 months to put together so I'm happy for any views and to get this info out there.
Seeing the comparison of how you play changes cutscenes (had no idea) I played this in a quick, gun happy fashion lol, I loved this game back in the day, this is the one I've been waiting for capom to remake
@16:40 about the Nazi reference some sources also claim that the Rockfort Island prison was equated to a Concentration Camp. Although that does seem plausible, it's not just the Ashfords themselves but also the way it portrays the Umbrella Corporation's evil experimentation on the prisoners as well that could also be algorithed to it. 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.
That makes a lot of sense! It's such a shame we'll never get to take down Umbrella the way CV's ending set it up.
Wonder what they did with that Harrier...
@@raccooncitycinema it will explode just like all other vehicles in re series
Finally, someone who recognizes Steve's character growth!
Definitely gained a new appreciation for Steve!
I do recognize it but his voice-over just kills it.
@@cookeris I dunno. I think they made him annoying on purpose. 😅
@@flutflut1 Better translation and voice acting would might have made him more tolerable.
@Idiotic Beyond Measure Most of RE voice actors are canadian.
Learned a ton of stuff from this one! You win a sub from me, good sir! CV is probably my second favorite, just after the original RE3, but nothing was quite like playing it on the Dreamcast back when it first came out. Nothing makes me quite as nostalgic for middle school as the sound of the VMU beeping and this game spinning up to that awesome opening cutscene.
Hey glad to hear it, and thanks so much! And I totally understand how you feel
And I thought I knew everything, considering everything, I think CV is very underrated, loved the laugh edit at the end
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Finished this game for the second time a few months ago, such great memories playing it in my childhood. I'm glad you appreciate it too, amazing video!
Hey, thank you, too!
That's awesome, I never knew you could actually bump fire with claire when using the AK XD
I'm translating another book now and found out you can do this in another RE game too!
Me watching at 0:34 AM because Code Veronica is my favorite RE game
I love the campiness of this game.
I've been a fan of the series since RE1 on PSX and always saw the series as B-movies in video game form. This game isn't any different I don't think.
You're right, and this is B-movie perfected!
I played code veronica x without walk through and it was a nightmare easily the most difficult Re but one of the best for sure! Love it
Glad to hear it! And yeah, that first playthrough can be quite rough
That's pretty cool. This was actually the guide I used for my first playthrough of the game which was the Japanese version.
The reason I even bought the game was for that Devil May Cry Trial Demo though lol.
haha well which game did you end up liking more, CV or DMC?
oh, cool icon btw
@@raccooncitycinema DMC for sure. As a fan of the beat em up genre, it was the first one in 3D that really took it to the next level. There wasn't anything like it at the time.
Code Veronica isn't a game I particularly love in the series but it was the first RE game I actually finished despite playing 1 and 2 a lot at the friends house. Tbf we were like 9 or 10 when we played those.
Funfact: the Japanese version of Code Veronica X was called "Code Veronica Kanzenban." For those who doesn't know, kanzenban means "Complete Edition" Suggesting that the original release was incomplete, and consumers got screwed. Nice going there Capcom.
And what a shame Capcom never released the Dreamcast kanzenban outside of Japan!
Absolutely love code veronica since it came out on the dreamcast the way the game moves when played blew my mind I love the still back drops in previous games but this had its own style and atmosphere, a remake would be great too,nice video .
Same here! Shame the fan made remake got cancelled, but maybe we'll get an official one some day
I love that there's actually Trophies in the PS4 version for doing all the poses in Battle Mode.
I remember there is a glitch in code Veronica using the manual and a green herb and you get an unlimited green herb that never leaves your inventory you can even pass it on to Chris if you leave it in a box
Never actually tried it but had no idea you could pass it to Chris! Thanks
Yes if Claire leaves it in a box before the nasfarato battle when you start as Chris it will be in the box. Also when playing as Claire if you put the fire extinguisher in a box chris can refill it and use it to get the magnum
Code Veronica was a mixture of 2 step forward 1 step back. In terms of graphic and more choice of weapons, it has improved the RE series. But gameplay wise it was outdated by then even RE3 which had older graphic, but gameplay and technical side on control scheme was superior as it introduce the Dodge Move and less cheesy story
Awesome video! I'm just after finishing Code Veronica X for the first time, and this video told me a lot stuff that i didnt know. Thanks for that!
Thank you! Glad there was something new!
Holy smokes I love your channel. Sorry for being late to the party. Gonna binge this series.
Thanks and welcome! Takes a long time to make these vids so please catch up when you can
Wesker's laugh sounds like Count Dracula from Sesame Street.
Staple of the entire game.
I know! I said that too! I hated his voice. 2 apples chris. Ah ah ah ah🧛♂️🍎🍎
true dat
2:51
I'm back to provide just a few insights:
- Shinji Mikami had shared a lot of data (conceptual artworks, photos, information, footage of the beta version, etc) to the French TV channel FunTV (that very channel who also made the behind the scenes videos of Silent Hill 2 and 3, available as an additional disc in the PAL versions of these games) for them to create a documentary about the making of Code Veronica. Among other things you mentioned in this video, one of the info was that Steve's hair was indeed changed because his early design looked a lot like DiCaprio. An archive, shorter version of this documentary (and other ones, about the making of other entries of the series) can be watched in the TH-cam channel Biohasard France. It's obviously not in English though.
- Moreoever, I finished reading the Code Veronica novel by SD Perry a couple of months ago. And, when Claire sees Steve for the first time, she does mention his ressemblance with DiCaprio. She doesn't say his name but comment on how he reminds her of "this actor from Titanic". It is worth reminding that the SD Perry's novelizationsvof each entry were overseen by Capcom.
Not much, but I hope it provided a complementary information.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!!! Incredibly interesting too!
No one has ever mentioned it was in the SD Perry novels to me. That's really cool.
Time to watch everything on Biohazard France and see how much French I still remember from high school 😁
@@raccooncitycinema Ahah glad I could help. :)
I would definitely recommend the SD Perry's novels to any Resident Evil fans, honestly. They contain an insane amount of details about our favourite characters, and also add the great subplot of Trent (which is, by the way, even referenced in the movie Welcome to Raccoon City: the little electronic device Wesker used in this movie directly comes from the novelization of the first game, except it's used by Jill to solve some puzzles). The ones that are additional stories and not direct retelling of the games (like Caliban Cove) are worth the read too. And, seeing the dedication and passion you put in sharing those Japanese guidebooks, I'm sure you'd enjoy finding more of the characters's backstories, which are developed in them.
Ahah, good luck! :) They've really provided great exclusive content, even translating Japanese documentaries about the franchise themselves (also through their website, which was the opportunity for me to get access to most of Capcom's Japanese exclusive elements, fan-translated in my language).
@@shibitoobscura3348 Thanks for letting me know about all that! Sadly I've only ever read Caliban Cove. And I still haven't seen Welcome to Raccoon City (because just had a baby). But you've really sold me on the books. I'll keep looking for some affordable copies online.
And that's awesome about Biohazard France. Spent only a few minutes browsing their channel and already found some cool stuff!
@@raccooncitycinema Sounds great, hope you'll find them!
And congrats for your baby!
@@shibitoobscura3348 Thank you very much!
Wow that was so freaking brilliant. Code Veronica was the original Peter Pettigree rat spy.
Very Good Video, Nice Work! The Laughts Its Always In My Ears
Thank you very much!
This is so cool! I should get someone to translate this Japanese RE2 Guide I got about the "Arrange Mode" that is apparently just the Western Release's difficulty. Since it was rebalanced for each region as they released and then got put back into the other version as the Arrange Mode in later re-releases, I think! Would love to know more specifics about it~ Some versions of RE3 and Dino Crisis also have Arrange Modes I found in my research but like only on the old Japanese PC release or something? There's a hidden treasure trove of unknown information there I think!
Hey that sounds cool! If you sent me some clear scans I'd be happy to have a look!
@@raccooncitycinema Oh hey! Sorry, I think I missed this comment back then. If you were still interested I think I could provide scans sometime soon! Where would I send such a thing for you to see when I can get some scanning in?
6:51 you forgot to said if you leave this proof for last you avoid trigger the scene on the alfred's room after the confrontation scene and steve said "ok that's it, lets get out of here"! and the self destruction system will not be activated there
Hold up, I am back a year later and somehow must have not paid attention to the assault rifle trick before! It's such a game changer for the battle game and just helped me a get a crazy good time for Claire B. Thanks for the tip!
Glad to hear it helped!
This works in RE0 too.
I remember buying a dreamcast console just to play this game went it first came out outstanding video thanks dude
haha same here, this was the first Dreamcast game I bought and played it over and over
@@raccooncitycinema Lol same here! Good memories! 😁 🎮
Code veronica has always been my favourite Resi game, the newer ones (4 onwards) where they moved away from zombies isn't my thing. I have played the game so much and find myself always going back to it every other year, It's honestly one of my fav games of all time. Sure it's cheesy at times but the move into 3d was nice and it played great, i loved the setting and the cross segments between claire and chris on rockfort was cool. I love it but i don't want a remake... why? Well Resi 2 was great (3 a flop) but despite it being modern, the slow door scenes as you change area was big on this game (the heartbeat always got me!) but above all... i dunno if they could ever master the enjoyment this game still gives me almost 20 years on.
I can understand that. The classic RE games have become like comfort food for me.
Same here, the original Resident Evil series is one of my guilty pleasures that I love to play each year!
No, I love 4 and 7 and like 8
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 😅
🤣 bring this idea to Capcom, I'd definitely play that haha
the "i've been waiting for you m'lady" voice line confirmed the suspicion i had about steve being a redditor
I think the real question here is how Steve beeing infected with T-Veronica is getting one-shot by the Tentacle and reverts into the human form...
Good question. I guess it smacked the virus right out of him!
Totally mindblown that there were still stuff left for me to know about this game! This was my first RE game and oh man this hits nostalgia. Capcom should remake it damn it.
Anyways great video, I thoroughly enjoyed and I thank TH-cam for showing you in my recommendations haha. You just gained a new subscriber. Looking forward to your next videos.
Hey thank you so much! Yeah for a 20 year old game, I was surprised too.
Great video! Would love more RE content.
Thank you!
I've got a different survival horror game vid coming next, but I'd love to do another RE translation project.
If you come across any Japanese info that hasn't been covered by anyone lemme know!
It's a good game, some of the item locations and puzzles are just straight up bizarre even by resident evil standards. But very enjoyable. Thanks for the info, I'm going to have to tack this book down.
Thanks for watching! The book shouldn't be too expensive. I bought it for like 400 yen, maybe less
Thanks for the video I really like Resident Evil Code Veronica. I just subscribed =D
Thank you!
Glad there're people who still like it. It needs more love from Capcom, or atleast a PC port
Extremely lovely video. I'm certainly going to be looking through your channel. Hope you do more, man.
Hey, thanks so much!! I'm planning some RE vids now so there will be more. If you come across some mysteries like this lemme know and I'll have a look
Code Veronica is an awesome entry and often forgotten as one of the most pioneering. It was the first to feature dual-wielding, especially the fact there are multiple weapons that can be dual-wielded. There is the integration of a permanent camera so a lot of transitions could happen in real-time (the elevator in the fire extinguisher refilling room for example). The first true first person mode (gun survivor doesn't count thanks to the awful attempt at hybridising movement and rail shooter).
As an og Dreamcast player what really made it stand out was the length, even if you know all the solutions it is not a short game, it's A rank time is still even longer than RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake. Only 4 really compares on that front. Also, fun fact, the Dreamcast og doesn't feature the infinite herb glitch, as the playing manual is not in your inventory when you start the game.
So I always been in love with Claire, I won't even deny it, but seeing her shut out Steve. I feel like I've transcended to another plain where only Lady D fans are at.
Code Veronica was my first ps2 game
I love RE series since I was a kid and after I bought ps2 and I saw RECVX was on display, I immediately pick it up along with my new ps2
Thank you for that montage at the end. Whew, I didn't know how much I needed that. Still laughing.
haha glad to hear that! Guess laughter is infectious. And thaks for letting me know!
That sniper rifle cinematic was sick
You should have mentioned this is the game that introduced us to the busted god weapon which is the knife. I hoard so much ammo using the knife up to bandersnatch by the time i got to alexia i had over 300 handgun, over 120 shells, and a considerable amount of healing herbs and first aid sprays. We know to fear the knife but in this game one must BE the knife.
Haha thumbs up for BE the knife.
I think I had a line about how good it is originally. I'll probably do another video about the monsters of CV because yeah, I see a lot of people online saying they run out of ammo
@@raccooncitycinema I'm more prone to soft lock health and as mentioned got more of an over abundance of ammo than needed lol.
They should have let us fight Wesker in CV but one of my favorite RE's. Best Claire ever. Sitting on that Big Comfy Couch. I did uber Alexander with the knife on GameCube and never got the scene. Worst laughing ever in a ..... well anything. Movie, TV and Gaming. Uh that had some fast bursts when you pressed the button repeatedly
Man, that blew my mind to learn she played Claire.
haha yeah, that was me trying my hardest to mash that button to show it's actually faster. But whenever I tried it against an enemy I couldn't seem to match it
Thanks for this, really made me nostalgic and want to play it again ☺👍🏽
Glad to hear it! And thank you, too
Did you end up playing it again?
Just discovered your channel. As a Biohazard nerd, I couldn't be more happy :D
Thanks so much and glad to have you here! Guessing from your username you're also a Sega fan too
@@raccooncitycinema Yup ! Especially Dreamcast !
awesome, I'm right there with ya
@@raccooncitycinema I hope you'll talk more about Biohazard Guidebooks, there are a lot of information in these books, plotwise especially, and I don't read Japanese well enough
Actually I'm working on one right now (mostly for secrets and character bios though). Hope to finish this month (the Code Veronica one took 3 months...)
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
Glad this video could be useful! Thanks for checking it out
Claire always hangs around kids in every game she appears in.
I didn’t know there were so many laughter in this game until your video
Once I realized how many there were, I knew what had to be done haha
I still own the English language guide book for RECVX. It's distinctly 'meh.' With tiny little blurry screenshots. But the game itself is one I have to play every now and again. Like a few other commentors here, it's one of my favourite RE's.
Personally I liked the cutscene where wesker fights back better
The fight with Alexia? Yeah, it's a good showdown between 2 superweapons. Better than Wesker slinking out the front door
Yeah makes sense..hes meant to be a real bad*ss so i prefer to see him hold his own
This needs a remake
Just like Outbreak needs a re-release (or remaster/remake) but Capcom wont listen to logic and their faithful fanbase who made RE as huge as it is.
@@outlawzqc because that won't bring in the big bucks anymore
yeah,I'm pissed that they're listening to the normies who bitched since day one about everything(the controls,the voice acting,the plot) like if they knew shit about the gold we were being given
but we have to accept it,it's a business,they're not doing it for the fun
Been commenting that on capcoms fb for years plus Dino crisis
@@charliehoss1614
Same here & they've always ignored me.
Alfred was a misunderstood character. He really cares about saving the world by turning everyone into diarrhea
RE CV is in my top 3 of RE games. Main reason I bought a Dreamcast when it came out 😎.
Same here! It was the first DC game I bought. Played that and a demo disc to death
I'm guna go sleeveless like Chris to seem wild and cool
haha removing sleeves gives a +20 boost to cool
