I remember first seeing the cutscene of Claire dropping her gun and shooting that explosive back before it released on the almighty Dreamcast and was in awe of how amazing it looked.
AND physically impossible for somebody of normal reflexes and speed. Try it sometime. Drop a tennis ball and then drop to the floor and catch it before it hits the ground and THEN throw it through a small opening, all in one deft motion.
Or convoluted storylines. Or people that save the heroes to die minutes later. Or a new virus based on the old one. Or a different, giant mutant to fight. Or multiple plot paths that really go nowhere. Or a long-standing villain who wants revenge, but never attains it. I mean, I could go on forever like this.
ALSO: random request, could you possibly post a full video of the ending cutscene from that game? all the ones i can find are in garbage quality, and i have other way of showing it to my people, for its sheer hilarity. if you dont want to, its cool.
This was actually my favourite resident evil game. I know most people hated it but I thought the story and music was brilliant and the atmosphere of this game was better than all the others in my opinion. Just the voice acting sucked that was all.
most people liked it, but I think it was released on the dreamcast first, but it sold like crap and back to Sony. way better then RE3. Sony really pissed off capcom or something at that time. Capcom was stupid to abandoned their RE fan base from the PS. Nintendo got RE4, RE1 remake and RE0 first about the same time. But it sold like crap (compared to PS) and back to sony PS again and all platforms.
I agree... Contractual obligations from Sony demanding a 3rd installment meant they turned a sidestory into 3 even though this is more an actual and canonical sequel. What I notice is that some people pay more attention to Nemesis than Veronica, so hopefully this helps clear that up.
RE3 is also the only numbered game to have an add on to the title(nemisis) which is weird since only spin off games gave them and no other numberd installment has had one after. CV is the true 3rd game in that is extends the lore and takes place outside of RC. Hopefully they will remake it after the RE 2 remake.
@@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 the contract with Sony was that for them to make another game on the dreamcast was that they had to do a trilogy for the ps1 and include the number 3 in the title from what I remember they weren't even thinking of doing nemesis and it was thrown together with data left over from re2 and promise to include scenes from re2 or you seeing leon or clare in the background or help them/clear a path for them as the game takes place right before and after re2 but couldn't do to system limitations and time cost To me Code Veronica will be 3 in the series as I see nemesis as a DLC before DLC /side story
I'm sorry, but what? Are you trying to say CV is less action packed than Nemesis? We're talking about the game that has a lady who thinks she's Roy god damn Mustang, Wesker mistakenly picking the script for The Matrix instead of RE, dual wielding, a chase scene with a Harrier jet and did you even see the damn intro?
this is awesome! i discovered your channel just now and i love it. i've yet to complete CVX i am stuck on it and find it very confusing. but i love how you tell the story!
RE CV had a very complicated storyline which makes it very special amongst the franchise. Definitely in my top RE games, and since it takes places a couple of months after RE2, would make it a direct sequel to RE2 and worthy of proper Remake
I always considered resident evil code veronica the fourth game of the series. the one with leon I considered to be the fifth one one with chris the 6th the 6th the 7th and the 7th the 8th. that brought back the original tension the original 4 had
-Not a numbered installment because Playstation paid money at the time to make sure it couldn't get the number 3 (so it went to the expansion to 2, Nemesis) -I have faith it will be next after RE3R, personally.
dude imagine if resident evil 6 had 3 campaigns that represented the 3 different play styles leons old school survival horror cheises resident evil 4 type and jakes how it was game woulda been a success like sonic adventure 2
tyler bunce dude i was thinking how crazy that would have been something for everyone now its a fps wich is cool because if it fails they got resident evil 2 to fall back on like square and final fantasy 15 they got ff7 remake to cover their asses
Isn't that kinda what they did? Leon has more focus on zombies and more tense combat sections, Chris has more balls to the wall action, and Jake has a mix of both but has more focus on a central antagonist hunting them down kind of like Mr. X and Nemesis
I don’t think it’s the sound of explosions she’s woken up by I think it’s the sound of the giant worm moving around that wakes her up .... Well that’s what I always thought anyway
So is it true that maylaia island became Rockford island cause wasn't code veronicia and devil may cry was in development at the time but then devil may cry got its own series?
6:11 And thus is born Matrix Wesker. GAWWD whyy. If I remember right it's fine for this game but boy by the time they got to 5 he's become "The One" haha or more like Agent Smith in Matrix 3.
Remake and collectors edition statue next to my Leon plz almighty game Gods For some reason I can't get Code Veronica out of my head when it comes to RE
It's funny how RE switched from riddles, horror and storytelling to pure action with little horror in it! They literally implemented action even in cutscenes! The survivors and only RE's to me are the ones from 0 to 3.
For some characters it makes sense tho. After RE and RE2. Chris and Leon became soilders of sorts..they were combat trained and conditioned to fight BOWs..so their characters would have been far more action oreiented because they couldnt just be regular survivors anymore. Even Claire after CV and RE2 was far more equipped to deal with the BOWs than a civilian. The only way for the games to go back to their survivir horror was seen in the spin off games and RE7..by showing either the RC outbreak with new characters or a whole new lead that wasnt police or military. The other RE characters just wouldnt feel right as just horror survivors after all they've been through and people would be upset with lack of character development or these character being unequipped after everything thats happend.
As a big resident evil fan, I like this game but from the old school fix camera resident evils, this is my less favourite game from fix camera era(RE 0, 1, 1 remake, 2, 3 and code veronica). The game have good graphics but everything else is kinda the same, almost no innovation. Some enemies look stupid like the "arm" creature, look like a dumbass lol, and some of the characters are annoying like Alfred! The story is actually good and interesting. Unlike many people I like Steve and its a shame he didn't appear more in the RE canon games. I don't get why people hate Steve so much honestly, I think its good character and its well developed, and have story and a motivation behind him, I guess people hate him because of the "voice actor", I need to agree on that, was a poor casting choice for that character, his voice is a bit annoying sometimes.
You know, Claire is a really tough person for her age, being Chris Redfield's blood and all, but, Umbrella must really suck if they have to use a dozen men with machine guns, an attack helicopter, and likely millions of dollars of property damage just to subdue one person. She ain't exactly on the master spy-level of infiltration, here.
this is why chris trained for himself to become a buff and a hulking man!!.. this really makes sense why he looks very different in resi 6!!!.. look at him!! he's a wimpy guy!! easily caught off guard!!!.
Ok, seriously, why no beautiful prerendered backgrounds if we are still using fixed cameras? It can't all be for the sake of the short sniper rifle scene
It's for the panning shots, some areas are semi-fixed with a camera that follows you as you move around the environment. They wanted to experiment with the stronger hardware.
They should've kept the 2d pre-rendered backgrounds. I never liked the 3d look and every texture looks muddy as hell, not many detail as they've captured with their previous games.
In all the commentary about this game I've never once heard anybody mention that the zombies heads dont explode when you headshot them with the shotgun or any other weapons. It's a minor issue but it really bothered me that they took a staple of the series away. That just nailed the coffin shut for me regarding this shit entry in the franchise.
I knew there was something wrong with this game. So it's actually a direct sequel to RE2 than RE3 even though RE3's epilogue files directly reference the remaining STARS members heading for Europe. RE 2 really messes up the timeline. RE 1 and RE 3 make perfect sense on their own and RE 3 also ties the loose ends from the second but then we get Code Veronica and we're back to the story of the second game and it never recovered afterwards. RE 2 is the best selling game of the series but it's also the one that messes up the timeline of the first game and Capcom keeps going back to RE 2. It took them forever to get back to the aftermath of the RE 3 ending after Code Veronica and they managed to screw it up as well.
2:35 Twins with a strange obsession with WHAT?! oh an obsession with "Insects".
Yeah didnt help they were like staring into each others souls
Nah, you were right the first time. Lol
Lol. "insects" suuuuure....
Great pun
I remember first seeing the cutscene of Claire dropping her gun and shooting that explosive back before it released on the almighty Dreamcast and was in awe of how amazing it looked.
Same! Good ol' days.
AND physically impossible for somebody of normal reflexes and speed. Try it sometime. Drop a tennis ball and then drop to the floor and catch it before it hits the ground and THEN throw it through a small opening, all in one deft motion.
I remember it as a kid to
But the ps2 veri
It's not a resident evil game if there's no "self destruct sequence" 😂
Or an interesting new character dying after helping the main characters shortly after being introduced
magnusm4 Or a sacrificed pilot
The same could be said about Metroid
Or convoluted storylines.
Or people that save the heroes to die minutes later.
Or a new virus based on the old one.
Or a different, giant mutant to fight.
Or multiple plot paths that really go nowhere.
Or a long-standing villain who wants revenge, but never attains it.
I mean, I could go on forever like this.
Haha all that happened
"7 minutes, 7 minutes is all I need to finish you" -Albert Wesker
Didn’t Chris Redfield think Leon was the perfect specimen for Clair?
This game is criminally underrated
This game needs the REMAKE treatment after RE3 remake launches this year 2020.
Completely agree with you!
Remake most of them lol
I hope Steve lives
Working on the next RPG RECAPitation, Legend of Dragoon, but it's slow coming, so please enjoy some more Resident Evils in the meanwhile.
I JUST finished that game for the first time myself, its fuckin long. best of luck to you buddy, looking forward to the video :)
ALSO: random request, could you possibly post a full video of the ending cutscene from that game? all the ones i can find are in garbage quality, and i have other way of showing it to my people, for its sheer hilarity. if you dont want to, its cool.
this video reminded me how much i love code eronica
YES !! DO ABOUT LEGEND OF LEGAIA 1 AND 2 TOO!!!
VAKYRIE PROFILE 1 AND 2 AND 3
PARASITE EVE 1 and 2 and 3!!!
Ooooo. Im excited about that! Legend of Dragoon is great!
This was actually my favourite resident evil game. I know most people hated it but I thought the story and music was brilliant and the atmosphere of this game was better than all the others in my opinion. Just the voice acting sucked that was all.
Its the legit successor to resident evil 2. Which they just remade. I hope they remake this
@@DeCavalcante agreed
Not before remaking nemesis they won’t.

This game defo needs a remake or at least backwards compat for ps4 and xbox one
I just wish this had the number 3 instead of Code: Veronica X. It deserved it way more than the action themed spin off of Nemesis.

True, RE3 is an expansion for RE2 and should've been called RE2:Nemesis and this should be the actual number 3.

I really hope Capcom remakes this game some day. I would love to see it with new graphics, hq voice acting, and an updated story!!
BRO YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!! PLEASE DO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is awesome! i discovered your channel just now and i love it. i've yet to complete CVX i am stuck on it and find it very confusing. but i love how you tell the story!
Code Veronice, aka the Resident Evil with all the 'Matrix' effects.
P.S. this i s probably my favorite Resident Evil.
Wesker still mad that Clair found his hidden photo of his favorite S.T.A.R.S member and don't want Chris to know... Hmmm
“Hey man you playing resident evil?” “Yeah how did you know?” “Oh I saw that self destruct sequence.”
i used to play this game on a Dremcast , amazing story plot and game play..one of my best R.E games of all time
Thank you so much for this! When i played it , i was so confused but now that you explained better it make sense! Thank you!!
RE CV had a very complicated storyline which makes it very special amongst the franchise. Definitely in my top RE games, and since it takes places a couple of months after RE2, would make it a direct sequel to RE2 and worthy of proper Remake
Love the in-depth work and quality you do with your guides and recaps.
Alexia is the best RE antagonist eveeeeer
For anyone interested in how Code: Veronica came to be made, feel free to check out my retrospective series: th-cam.com/video/VL1rarok8UI/w-d-xo.html
Thx, very nice!
More power to you Oni Black Mage! Looking foward to the Legend of Dragoon RECAPitation!!
fantastic.. I never played this game in its entirety by myself but I've seen my cousins play it numerous times
I love your videos. Can't wait for more!
I always considered resident evil code veronica the fourth game of the series. the one with leon I considered to be the fifth one one with chris the 6th the 6th the 7th and the 7th the 8th. that brought back the original tension the original 4 had
How the fuck:
- isn't this a mainline series game?!
- has this not been remade after RE2R's success?!
-Not a numbered installment because Playstation paid money at the time to make sure it couldn't get the number 3 (so it went to the expansion to 2, Nemesis)
-I have faith it will be next after RE3R, personally.
great job! I really like your videos
This was actually a good story.
in my opinion this is one of the best ones
I know I had this game but I don't remember beating it sadly. this looks like a sweet game
Thanks man. These are good
Always enjoy your hard work. Hoping to see magna carta 2 one day.
This one is my favorite ❤️
Steve the dude hates umbrella
Loved this game!!!
Great work , thanks for posting
dude imagine if resident evil 6 had 3 campaigns that represented the 3 different play styles leons old school survival horror cheises resident evil 4 type and jakes how it was game woulda been a success like sonic adventure 2
Too bad you didn't work for Capcom lol.
tyler bunce dude i was thinking how crazy that would have been something for everyone now its a fps wich is cool because if it fails they got resident evil 2 to fall back on like square and final fantasy 15 they got ff7 remake to cover their asses

People can understand this jibberish? Lol
Did you have a stroke while typing wtf is this lmfao
I'm sorry, did you say they DROVE from Antarctica to Australia?
I don’t think it’s the sound of explosions she’s woken up by I think it’s the sound of the giant worm moving around that wakes her up .... Well that’s what I always thought anyway
9:35 that's a snowmobile?
do you think this one should be remade? I would like to know your opinion
I think they should remake this, and 0, then STOP. Don't touch 4 or anything else, just make new games.
Could you possibly do final fantasy tactics: war of the lions? It's an under rated game with an excellent story.
Bro, love your hard work! Please do Chrono Trigger!
Great Job, very helpful
Orochimaru
All I heard was Jaime and Cersei Lannister
we know cersei enjoyed dressing up as jaime for the attention and praise it brought her. so not a stretch 😂
Love this game
what is Resident Evil CVX... 2 siblings that want each other
"Their landing gear doesnt pull out"
You know what else doesnt pull out? Steve.
Lol @5:42
So is it true that maylaia island became Rockford island cause wasn't code veronicia and devil may cry was in development at the time but then devil may cry got its own series?
6:11 And thus is born Matrix Wesker. GAWWD whyy. If I remember right it's fine for this game but boy by the time they got to 5 he's become "The One" haha or more like Agent Smith in Matrix 3.
Excuse me, did you say they tried to go from antartica to australia by snowmobile?
Joaquin Pirotto Australia has territory and bases IN Antarctica
All those story are super accurate. Just makes more Videos about on RESIDENT EVIL SERIES.
you should do a recapitation of Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light
The best resident evil
Where is the resident evil 5 recap?
Holy passive voice Batman.
Remake and collectors edition statue next to my Leon plz almighty game Gods
For some reason I can't get Code Veronica out of my head when it comes to RE
13:15 Funny how you called him "Wiskers" , i assume that was not intended to sound like that.
SO what happen to Steve body? Did wesker experiment on him ? Is that’s why wesker is more powerful in RE5
Steve was used to make Las Plagas in RE4
It's funny how RE switched from riddles, horror and storytelling to pure action with little horror in it! They literally implemented action even in cutscenes! The survivors and only RE's to me are the ones from 0 to 3.

RE4 on the wii is incredible
what's bothers me is that every RE game has a self destruction sequence -_-
It's their signature ending and a good way to erase all the bioweapons that you didn't kill. And the count down is very tense. I really like it
Excellent
I really hope they remake this but I feel like they won't want to include Wesker

I thought Claire knew from reading a note from RE2 that Chris is in Europe. Why would she infiltrate the Umbrella base?
Well, the writers hhad to get her there SOMEhow.
She infiltrated an Umbrella base IN EUROPE, Paris to be exact... then she was captured and taken to the island. Get it now?
What a game
Sir, you need more views.
Do Golden Sun!!! Please!!!
You know, Claire is a really tough person for her age, being Chris Redfield's blood and all, but, Umbrella must really suck if they have to use a dozen men with machine guns, an attack helicopter, and likely millions of dollars of property damage just to subdue one person. She ain't exactly on the master spy-level of infiltration, here.
The Redfield lineage would have live if Steve didn't die. Sorry Leon
this is why chris trained for himself to become a buff and a hulking man!!..
this really makes sense why he looks very different in resi 6!!!.. look at him!! he's a wimpy guy!! easily caught off guard!!!.
6:42 so alexia "alfred" escaped and then alfred came back? this is the same person? wow hes quick
good!!!!! like!!!!!! :D
Final Fantasy Tactics Please!!
Every RE game always have the rockets cliche...
I was hyped for this game when it came out on PS2 but something about it just didn't click for me, it was ok but the story felt abit weird
ARC THE LAD
Instead of 3d backgrounds maybe this game should have had prerendered bgs and detailed character models, RE1R on Gamecube
I suppose they wanted to do something different (At that time RE had 4 games with prerendered bgs) and the formula was already used
Pls next video resident evil dead aim!
do devil may cry please!
Ok, seriously, why no beautiful prerendered backgrounds if we are still using fixed cameras? It can't all be for the sake of the short sniper rifle scene

Iam sorry but i think your wrong . Alexia finds out shes an clone and gets revenge on her father by infecting him
Why did you flash a frame of a condom? XD
Everything after this should be non canon.
Im surprised til this day no one has told you that the word "recapitation" in the Title is NOT a real word lmao
I think you mean "Recapitulation" lol
fuck yeah
The Dreamcast version was vastly better than the ps2 version. Code Veronica x just seemed like it was missing something.
Worst RNG EVER!!!
This was the final good game before the RE story went to shit. RE4 had nice new mechanics but it lost something in exchange.
In all the commentary about this game I've never once heard anybody mention that the zombies heads dont explode when you headshot them with the shotgun or any other weapons. It's a minor issue but it really bothered me that they took a staple of the series away. That just nailed the coffin shut for me regarding this shit entry in the franchise.
This game was very impressive. But ultimately a huge Let down.
I knew there was something wrong with this game. So it's actually a direct sequel to RE2 than RE3 even though RE3's epilogue files directly reference the remaining STARS members heading for Europe. RE 2 really messes up the timeline. RE 1 and RE 3 make perfect sense on their own and RE 3 also ties the loose ends from the second but then we get Code Veronica and we're back to the story of the second game and it never recovered afterwards.

It took them forever to get back to the aftermath of the RE 3 ending after Code Veronica and they managed to screw it up as well.
This game was the start of the downfall of the series plot wise
