Pat Stares At Code Veronica X (Part 1)

Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at www.twitch.tv/patstaresat

[@SeruraRenge11]

The game that shows that Wesker is in fact not teleporting and is actually just moving really fast.

[@AntiNihilist]

well...the fact that the T virus is a virus and not MAGIC should make that obvious. (SHOULD being the important word)

[@SeruraRenge11]

@@AntiNihilist Tell that to Pat

[@LazahNinja]

@@AntiNihilist You say this, but the way the viruses of RE causes a rapid and exponential expansion of biomatter breaks WAY more fundamental laws than teleportation would. Pat being reasonable only seems silly because RE is silly and should not be taken seriously

[@SeruraRenge11]

@@LazahNinja The teleportation argument never made logical sense anyway since everything Wesker did followed the rules of super speed and not teleportation. He has to lean out of the way of attacks to dodge them (except near the end when his Oroborous was evolving out of control), he had to first move his body in the direction he's going before he rushed there, he could only dash to a location if his feet were on the ground to begin with meaning he's running and not teleporting.

[@LazahNinja]

@@SeruraRenge11 Eh, I'd say that not EVERYTHING he did followed the idea that he is running very fast, because then why isn't his jacket in re5 going absolutely nuts with the insane speed? As is, it sorta just gently floats down to accommodate whatever pose he ended his movement in. Looking back at some footage, there's an animation where he crouches WAY down to the ground to dodge a bullet, and his jacket doesn't even have the slightest hint of experiencing any air drag. I don't take the debate seriously btw, as much as any of us relish the argument we all know that it's completely stupid and capcom only made Wesker move like this because it was cool and they didn't think past that.

[@DragonfameDracas]

I just realized something... Pat says that when he originally played Code Veronica he thought it was great and fun. This can only mean one thing. Code Veronica is a victim of [CRAZY TALK].

[@joshuanelson6795]

I still think it’s great fun and one of my favorites in the series. Hope it gets remade after 3.

[@gaminggoddess85]

Pat's opinion on Code Veronica has flip-flopped like 15 times over the years. Seems like every time he brings it up it's the opposite of what it was the last time.

[@joshuanelson6795]

@@gaminggoddess85 I remember back on their old channel during the RE3 play-through when Pat told Matt that he thought CVX was a really good game with some big flaws. Now he outright despises it and places it just behind RE6 as his least favorite in the mainline series. CVX is not perfect, but it is nowhere near as horrible as Pat is making it sound here. But who knows, maybe in a few years Pat will do another 180 on this game and say it's really good.

I love that you can hear the knife's hitbox colliding multiple times with each swing. A true sign of good design.

[@gaminggoddess85]

I think it's intended because otherwise ammo would be kinda scarce since zombos respawn so much.

[@BrunstadEx]

In Code Veronica's case, it's totally intended that way, the game has scarce ammo and the zombies are pretty tankier

[@rebornkusabi7264]

Both of you saying it's intended, no it's not. It's clearly a bug, because you can hear the knife hitting multiple times.

[@spartandumpster1158]

I have no idea if this new trend of remaking older Resident Evil games is going to stop (or at least take a long break) at 3, or if they'd bother remaking Code Veronica. If they were to remake this game, one thing I'd definitely want to see changed in a remake would be Claire's reaction to the first zombies she sees. In this version, she's reacting as if she's never seen zombies before despite the fact this takes place after Resident Evil 2. I'd much prefer if she was more like "oh fuck, they're here too?!" I'm not saying she can't be scared, cause despite how they've been pretty much ruined and overused by pop culture, I'd be terrified if I encountered real zombies. I just think it's stupid for her to be taken aback as if she has no idea what these monsters are, if anything, she should be terrified because she barely escaped Raccoon City alive!

[@mortified0]

RE2make Claire is so good because by the end of the game she's just done with this shit and is ready to kick any amount of ass just to get that crappy day over with.

[@PredatoryQQmber]

And never forget that her panicked whimpering happened AFTER her acrobatic gun-jutsu Equilibrium shit… that was right after RE2's true ending with craziest shit that ever was in her universe !

[@trevingrayek8292]

I believe they said they have no plans to go past 3. Sucks because I’d really like to see a remastered fight between Alexia and Wesker.

[@mortified0]

@@trevingrayek8292 Tbf Code Veronica is pretty much non-canon now. The only thing that stuck is that Wesker came back all souped up with viruses.

[@CtisGaming]

@@trevingrayek8292 I'd actually agree with that. The foundation of Raccoon city is a solid and cohesive story, but afterward things went off the rails. Wesker, Ada, and selling the viruses in general became cartoonic and nonsensical. I prefer the remakes' new canon and tone for the universe and the stories need to be adjusted to work with those. Still want to see Wesker, adult Sherry, and have Ada & Hunk expanded on. Perhaps there was a rival company from another country working on the same type of research or something. RE4 could even stay mostly the same, perhaps with Luis getting more time or previous game w/ Leon and Krauzer's mission to Africa they ref in that game where Sheva could appear. There's a lot of canon to pick, choose, and make for the future of the series.

[@pomfric]

When Pat said family family family I must admit that i shed a tear

[@mortified0]

That opening cutscene of CVX really bugs me because Claire is suddenly this crazy action hero who takes out 20 guys. It takes place only 3 months after RE2! Leon becomes a crazy badass in RE4 but he was trained by the US government, had already passed police training, and it takes place 4 years later. But for some reason, Claire, a civvie with some firearm training from her special forces brother can do that. Although, surviving Raccoon City was a real trial by fire, so maybe it isn't that crazy after all.

[@xurlonddavis3114]

If her bro can punch boulders I can believe it

[@radicalmoof]

@@xurlonddavis3114 This is why Leon must continue the Redfield bloodline!

[@irurwurst]

eh its fine. imo if they do remake this they should lean into her action hero deal and have some line about how her and leon have been doing intense combat training. maybe give her some knife combos and say she's a knife expert to make the op knife actually canon.

[@ProfessorGardevoir]

The real stupid thing is she did all that then just got captured 2 seconds later in the most unhype way

[@rebornkusabi7264]

The opening of this game is hilarious bullshit- Claire isn't Chris, or Jill, both who (although unrealistic in our world given their ages) had full military careers in Delta Force or the SEALS (again, not realistic but whatever). Claire however is just a college lady. She has had zero special forces training, and the remake of 2 I felt got across that she's a survivor, not a superhero. But the intro here is her pulling some John McClane shit, and it always looked stupid to me, even when I played it on Dreamcast. It's just... so corny and dumb.

[@AdrianArmbruster]

This is probably the last 'mainline' game they could realistically do a REmake of. The primary goal of these remakes is to 1) update the gameplay and 2) update the tone. RE4 is still mechanically quite modern. RE0 is at least congruent with the original REmake.

[@user-fy2tl2tf2z]

I think RE0 could use a major touch up in terms of balancing and overall design, but I doubt we'll ever get that. I suspect that capcom wants to bank on recognition and love for their classic mainline games. Code Veronica could possibly earn a remake if RE3 does exceptionally well, but I have zero faith that RE0 will get the same treatment. I would almost expect an RE4 remake, or even another remake of RE1.

[@Zangelin]

@@user-fy2tl2tf2z Re0 remake with actual co-op would be so cool tho.

[@Maioly]

I'd love an RE0 remake if only so we could have Billy back.

[@andrewlavigne44]

​@@user-fy2tl2tf2z I could almost see them doing CVX because Remake 2 newly popularized Claire and among older fans it has a core base, so it can be sold to people in 20xx as like getting a direct sequel to Remake 2. RE1 and RE0's HD ports were so successful I think it actually led to them being more open to the remakes in the first place, so maybe those are next due to existing popularity. I actually wouldn't mind seeing RE4 remade since it's a) available on practically every console since 2005 so you can still pay the old version b) it would be very gutsy to see them try to remake it into the tone of Remake 2, maybe do one of the original Fall of Umbrella storylines that 4 was supposed to be, like getting a completely alternate "take".

CV is when RE became properly STUPID. The Ashford's are so goddamn cartoony and RE villains only got worse from there

[@AntiNihilist]

@@mortified0 But the Spencer mansion existed in 1...that mansion is the true villain of the first game and it's cartoonishly dumb as hell. I mean, world domination through viral contamination is so risky only a truly cartoonishly evil character would even attempt such a plan once. AND IT'S DONE SEVERAL TIMES IN THE SERIES.

[@ManiacYKT]

Knife making multiple hits is not a bug but intended feature due to increase of difficulty since CV is fully 3D and that makes it "awkward to control". Also new camera is also awkward. That's why knife in this game is not a knife but rather a machete in terms of size to signalize increase of strength. P.S. Idk about first game being the hardest. Arguably it's the easiest in the series. CVX is the hardest classic RE for me mostly because of that stupid flying whatever thing in the fog boss battle that I couldn't beat for days. The second hardest for me was Gun Survivor but maybe it was because I was a dumb kid when I played it way back in 2004 or something and never touched since.

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

This game always confused when I saw it in stores. Instead of reading it as Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, I read it as Resident Evil X: Code Veronica. "And Sherry can be Elmo" Now I'm imagining adult Sherry with cat ears and a bell choker.

[@randomfox12245]

>"How did that make it past testing?" By working as intended.

[@QuasarKnightGaming]

KaptainMorganWo it’s intended. Enemies were found on average to be “too tough” and “too deadly” due to excessive difficulty with moving and avoiding them. The solution was to make the knife deal multiple hits since the alternative was to rebuild the values of every enemy in the game, starting with their health and ending with their movement and attacking speeds and damage, which then may require editing of their animations so they don’t look completely garbage. It was a damage patch, and it was slapped out and never finished getting properly implemented.

[@andrewlavigne44]

@@HumanShieldrpg I think CVX *could* be a fairly interesting story, the Ashford family background is creepy and weird enough to be interesting, especially if you put in the cut content about them being escaped Nazis who fled as the Reich fell (there's still pieces of this left in the game, like the Iron Crosses Alfred has, the Eagle plate, the Tiger tank, Lugers, using the virus to perfect/control humanity, and the, uh, Mengle doctor running a "work camp" with a crematory). Part of the stuff not really in the game is that Rockfort Island is originally somewhere with Spanish origins and that the Ashford base is built over a small village and its catacombs (the remaining village is supposed to be just past where the Palace and military base is but I don't think you even get a glimpse of it in the skybox), the natives used as an indentured work force or forced into Umbrella (Rodrigo is an island native.) I was suggesting this in another comment, but I would give them major props if they had the guts to remake RE4 and do an alternate take that's more grounded and does one of the many Fall of Umbrella storylines it was supposed to handle before they ended up dropping it for new material.

[@VentusFury]

We could say that the chronicles games are the best remake we'll get for CVX honestly. Seems all but swept under the rug besides the multiple amount of times its released like Street Fighter II or RE4. Dreamcast Ps2/Gamecube(?) Ps3/360 Ps4 (ps2 emu) PC(?) I feel it needs a remake too.

Feels like Capcom are going to just straight up skip past Code Veronica and RE0 and the other spin off games because they’re considered below average entries in the series, no wonder they’re jumping straight to RE4. I’d love to see it redone also, but I’ve got my doubts.

1:33:34 during the asmr rant, that sound on a big stereo sounds like someone in the distance pounding on my front door. played it back just to be sure it was the audio.

I've never played CVX and honestly I'm getting a vibe similar to DMC2 where it isn't even bad in a fun way or at the very least the good stuff just does not outweigh the bad also like DMC2 you can play CVX almost all the way through without using half of the combat mechanics.

18:40 I got that MST3K reference! :D

Speaking of familiar voices, Steve sounds like Kid Icarus from Captain N.

If memory serves you can prevent something spooky from happening in the workroom corridor if you trigger the metal detector before starting the replication machine.

There is something so funny about going through your old Death Stranding videos where you were originally unimpressed with Monster. Now though you are just casually enjoying a purple Monster like its nothing. On that note, have you tried the energy drink Relentless?

I'm on bloodthinners too because I am missing my inferior vena cava, lol. It really makes even minor surgeries impossible unless you're off the coumadin.

[@iamnuff1992]

... that's a very small game window.

7 hours left at work, may aswell get comfy.

Hyperbole aside, the game is perfectly fine (even in the context of the series as a whole). Especially if you had a dreamcast, this was the best survival horror got. Just because the game didn't "age well" doesn't mean there isn't a quality game there- you just have to put in a little more effort to appreciate it.

Is the gamma just really low by default or did the person responsible for lightmaps jump off a roof on the first day of development?

[@gaminggoddess85]

Isn't this the version with the "improved" lighting?

[@manpotion]

@@gaminggoddess85 I wish. Maybe then we'd actually see what's happening. Every room is absolutely drenched in shadows for some reason, almost as if to hide unfinished textures. And then the sounds lifted straight from RE2... my personal favorite is the "Oooo er ooo erm" zombie moan. It's simultaneously funny, sad and terrifying because it sounds like the zombie is trying to sing.

[@gaminggoddess85]

@@manpotion Reusing zombie moans and dog sounds is eh but reusing Claire's damage yell IS pretty lazy. I think there's a new zombie footstep sound though maybe? That's something. And also apparently Capcom CLAIMED they upgraded the graphics and lighting with this PS2 port but I bet if you compared CV and CVX side-by-side they're probably identical.

[@manpotion]

@@gaminggoddess85 I did notice the ladder-climbing noise is different. In 2 it literally sounds like someone hammering an anvil inside an aircraft hanger. In this it's more subtle. I also like the save room music, if nothing else. Honestly, even I can't tell the difference except compared to the original Dreamcast game. There were... let's see... 7 versions of Code Veronica X: the very first port for PS2, the extended cut, the Gamecube version, the PS3 and 360 HD remasters, the PS2 Classics version in 2013, followed by yet another PSN store release in 2017. Whew!

[@DecoyBlackMage]

gaminggoddess85 Most games re use assets or sound, that is normal, not lazy. Look at any developers games, generally they re use sound and other assets in most of their games in one way or another.

[@mindfreaksniper]

You're not a zombie gives me the same vibes as this isn't a beach its a bathtub

[@irurwurst]

oh no steve what are you doing

[@razanon4373]

One issue that really amps up the boredom with this game is the ambient background music just disappears.

If you're watching this video for the first time, I sure hope you're ready for 4 hours of the exact same "oh my god its a zombie" joke, over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

[@irurwurst]

a remake of this would need to heavily focus on knife combat to retain the legacy of This Knife
