Actually it was Umbrella who gave Javier T-Veronica. He was a repeat customers of BOW’s so they were willing to let him use it to try to save his wife and daughter. Alexia may have created it, but Umbrella owned it, and Alfred and Alexia were always loyal to Umbrella

[@ChrrolloDI]

​@@pokemaster123ismIs this confirmed or just your head cannon? Wesker confirms that Steve was the only relevant T-Veronica virus host in which the virus could be confiscated in any way, shape or form. There wasn't a single serum in Rockfort island that contained the virus either.

[@JesusRamirez-vs9bd]

I've never found there to be a funnier moment in all of Resident Evil than in Code Veronica during the first fight with Alexia where Wesker catches fire, tells Chris "You're one of my best men. You got this" and then fucks off.

"There are guns all over this room and Claire will take none of them but the stupid looking golden lugers." Finally someone said what I complained about years. Thank you.

[@Talking_Ed]

They were Exposition guns, not well maintained and without the proper ammunition.

[@TheRavenShadowsWolf]

@@Talking_Ed Not that I play this style of game - for exactly how many ways the devs LIKE to find ways to needlessly fuck the player over - but as a "survival" game Claire's brother is a highly trained military style person. Being raised with him, she would - in the idoletry she shows for her elder sibling - probably have learned at least basic survivalism/weapon craft and maintenance. It wouldn't make her Linda Hamilton in T2, but it would probably give her the ability to maintain the guns to be "semi useable" and she'd likely be familiar enough with varied weapons from the romp through RE2 even without her brother's potential off-screen self defensive training (he's not going to want to leave her defenseless afterall, so even if she didn't seek it; he might have done it so she could deal with, you know... stalkers) So yes. They are likely for show more than actual hunting use, but that shouldn't have stopped them being useful in this case. Even if you'd have to worry about jams or misfires, anything you can use to stay alive in a situation where your life depends on it, will in aiming for realism, be used. Whether it's a good idea at all, very practical, or not. (Points for your name man. I like it : ) ) * I will say finding the right ammo for each potential new gun, might have presented the actual problem...

[@DiogenesLamp]

The characterization alerts blare right at the start, really. Claire survives dozens of zombies, Birkin and Mr. X in Raccoon City, while also being able to rescue Sherry. Then Code Veronica starts, and in her first encounter with zombies, you'd think she's witnessing the most traumatic event of her life.

[@kyuubinaruto17]

Well, at minimum she had a handgun and an ally in RE2. In CV at this point she has only a knife, which, ignoring gameplay aspects, no sane person is going to consider viable, and has no ally and is on an isolated island. And while adrenaline is a hell of a drug, some time has passed since Racoon City. I can certainly understand getting PTSD flashbacks from having to fight through an army of zombies again. Once she comes to terms with it she quickly starts snarking, and even dismisses the Tyrant as "just a giant cockroach that needed to be stepped on."

Biggest issues of CV was the needless game play changes, devs always think keeping it fresh or new means change things which just leads to brand identity issues If this game kept a more natural duo protag system as it had (aside from 3) , proper box system, and slowed combat back before 3 sped it all up, it would be fine Changing core systems doesn't keep it fresh, just makes a new audience like only that game and creates division (re,ac, gow, wd, dmc, ff, etc)

[@SinHurr]

Changing core systems is also a great way to pull people in who might have ignored the series otherwise. You list, like, 4 perfect examples. RE4 was brilliant and nearly inarguably the best in the series, DMC3 built up the combat system from 1 into something grand by incorporating and improving the new tricks from DMC2 (and hell even DmC brought some good things to the table in terms of float time and level traversal), God of War (PS4) took a stale/mashy formula and turned it into something new and fun with more narrative Dad-of-Boy interaction, and... yeah Final Fantasy has been a mixed bag after 10, but 7R blended the classic ATB and new actiony style just about perfectly. Not sure if AC is for Armored Core or Assassin's Creed. I never played Assassin's Creed, but I did like the changes made up through Armored Core 4 at least.

-I like Steve - Claire references Steve's comment about how guns are "more reliable than any person is" in Revelations 2 (in an offhand comment to Moira). -Darkside Chronicles was hella underrated. -I never thought Alfred was gay. I took him for a crossdressing, effeminate man. -The Luger trap room has a heat mechanic, not gas. -Rodrigo's voice actor (and Alfred Ashford's) did a fantastic job (the former is well suited to the character, and the latter hams it up in the best way. -Claire is 19 in CV. If anyone's Jailbait, it's Steve (altho worldwide age of consent laws vary widely, so he may or may not ne considered underage). I actually like Steve, narmy voice acting and BAD writing and all. He's the first RE character to canonically be into Claire (whether that's a holdover from earlier plot concepts may never be known with certainty). -He saves her on multiple occasions, a few times to his own direct detriment. He even tells Claire to leave him and save herself instead at one point, and she decides to save him anyhow. He's a 17 yr old guy with untreated trauma, in a stressful situation, with a cute girl he wants to impress and get the attention of. Who slowly opens up to her as to "why' he thinks and behaves as he does (the writing doesn't help but i can work with what's there)

[@thedeepfriar745]

Literally the only reason I could sanction an RE Code Veronica remake is to fix the character of Steve Burnside since his writing is extremely incompetent. It’s insulting that capcom couldn’t write a compelling teenage boy character.

[@SilverMelee]

They actually tried to do just that in Darkside Chronicles - he's still not great there, but sounds *way* less annoying and is actually tolerable in that game. He also had a fun line when Claire asked if he knew of any way to contact the outside world and he mentions a computer that the guards mostly used for gaming and porn (yes, really). I'll never forget that.

For the Steve boss fight, you need to use a quick turn around. Which can be activated by hitting down and run at the same time. It's probably one of the most useful abilities in all of traditional RE and all tank control games.

[@adamsmoberly]

Ok…and RE2 and RE3 were also remade more than once and both of them were boiled down as well for their 2019 & 2020 remakes (RE2 taking out parts of the story, making the A & B scenarios almost the same game while also limiting Brian Irons character (literally took one of the most evil characters in the series, even more evil than Wesker and mad him into an asshole) & then in RE3 took out many monsters and locations). So it really isn’t like what you said hasn’t happened already. It’s more or so to change the game play and narrative into something more akin to the newer remakes and to fix issues with the characters. Honestly I feel they could tone down the acting, yet still have some silliness to it without betraying either the original or the line of the new remakes. I mean even RE4’s remake is getting shafted, especially that Ashley looks like grown up Sherry rather than the original Ashley (she had brown, amber, or hazel eyes in the original game and even in the CGI Netflix show from 2021 had the same color, but now they are blue, which is fucking stupid, because she looks like adult Sherry and she also look like every other character in the RE series). The new Remakes aren’t superior to the originals, mostly because they focus on graphics and such rather than keep the games similar to the originals and the stories with most of their plot points and characterizations. If any of the games should be remade, it’s Code Veronica, since it’s tonally different than the main like games and could be fixed with combining the more serious tone of the newer games while keeping the silly stuff at a minimum, since it’s not completely corny. And RE 7 & 8 are main number games and have nothing really in common with the original games. Honestly should have been made into a different series like DMC, since Shinji Mikami said that game didn’t fit the series when it was RE4, so I don’t see why Code Veronica is less an option than those. All in all, it’s not like it’s that different. It’s corny in places, but if they made the humor similar to the RE2 & 3 remakes, it honestly wouldn’t be that hard and likely would be a better game for it. Even Outbreak hasn’t gotten a remake/updated version (which is hard, no lie), even though they want a online game and that one is well liked. They honestly could make it similar to ObsCure (2004), which has it where you can play as certain characters and can change them. They even have building mechanics like Dead Rising, so if they updated it like that with modern controls and different endings, I bet that could even rival new online horror games. They could even buy the rights to ObsCure to make an updated series and such; people love it and I think it’s up their alley. Capcom has a lot of games people want and honestly would rather put effort in to RE games that aren’t even RE, so why would Code Veronica be any different? At least it’s similar to the originals, unlike 7 & 8.

You know, people seem to think that it was RE5 when Chris became a steroid abusing boulder punching giga chad. But it all started kinda with this game. I'm guessing that whoever designed Chris in RE5 based him on the official comic book adaptation of Code Veronica instead of anything from the games.

[@loli-knightxardej2252]

Technically his roiding started BECAUSE of this game. Chris started roiding out because of the absolute ass-thrashing Wesker gave him. He figured the only way to even remotely stand a chance against Wesker as a regular human was to push himself to his limits. Obviously 5 goes overboard with that by having literally punch boulders, but y'know.
