@@forestcampbell8962 I don’t think the quality is up in the air. I think that they learned their lesson from resident evil 3 remake, and that 4 is really good proof of that.

[@marsinvader9078]

​@@forestcampbell8962That was a fluke imo, they put their B team on the project with a time crunch and a lot of asset flipping, since then their B team has been in charge of DLC like separate ways with the A team given 4+ years to develop future titles. For me this era of capcom with RE is probably the only active franchise I feel has earned tenure in my eyes

Cvx is definitely in my top 3 favorite Resident Evil games ever made. I played the original on ps2 and still do to this day in ps5. I love the game.

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

The best version of CVX is hands down the GameCube version. If I'm not mistaken, the textures are high resolution just like in Dreamcast version and it looks much more vibrant. Also you can disable the fog in Dolphin settings and it makes the game look much much better (there are few areas where you see more than you should, but it's not the end of the world. Also door skip patch is mandatory since backtracking in this game is insane. Overall this is my 2nd favourite RE title after RE2, but this is possibly because I had Dreamcast and not PS1/PS2 as a kid and nostalgia does it's magic. Very cool content, keep it up 👍🏻

When Leonardo DiCaprio mutated and died I was sad.

[@thegreatachiever4651]

Hot take, but I always enjoyed Resident Evil: Code Veronica more than RE3:Nemesis(ps1). Code Veronica finally reunites the Redfield siblings, Wesker is back, umbrella's Ashford family is explored, Alexia's a great villainess, and the sibling parallel between Chris/Claire and Alfred/Alexia. Still love Re3 for concluding Raccoon City, but Code Veronica is much better imo, despite its flaws.

[@renelopez4903]

@@thegreatachiever4651 I love RE3: Nemesis merely because it’s the first RE game I ever played and because it’s the end of a trilogy. Honestly, the Resident Evil story would’ve been perfect had Capcom stopped at part 3. I played Code Veronica and to this day feel that it is just an okay game; not great, but not so bad either. I feel it could’ve been better and I do hope that if it’s remade that Capcom consider making it awesome the way they’ve done with the most recent remakes (not including RE3 remake).

[@thegreatachiever4651]

​@@renelopez4903 Nice, RE3(ps1) was also my first back then.❤ Re2(ps1) is my number 1 favorite next to Re1 Remake. While the RE series could've ended at 3, I think it would've been kinda awkward. Umbrella was still a threat, Claire still needed to find Chris, and Re3's epilogues hinted at more stories, so it was inevitable, the series would continue. It's just Re3 was like the end of the Raccoon City story arc, along with the Outbreak games.

[@arkthegreenwolfx3627]

RE3 is my personal favorite RE game for a few reasons, but ultimately, I find it the most replayable game, and I could go on and on for why I think that (Also Nemesis exists). I still love Code Veronica, and yeah it's more important than RE3, but I do have some major critiques for it that keep it from my top 5. Edit: if there is anything I can say about CV though, best soundtrack, or atleast tied with RE2 for best. That save room theme alone is reason enough to say that

[@thegreatachiever4651]

​@@arkthegreenwolfx3627Agreed, Code Veronica's music is outstanding; G-Birkin boss music and Alexia's are tied for me.

[@deshaunfortune912]

I don’t think Steve turning into a monster is a shame. It’s a tragedy, and that was probably their intention. For you to feel bad that this is happening to a character with a compelling story that could’ve been cool.

[@masonr1666]

There was a flaw with this game, that was a design choice: You had to get accustomed to using the Knife for attacking Zombies. Otherwise you would run out of Ammo and get soft locked with the first Tyrant you fight. [At least in the play station 2 version.] They did their best to warn you, but it suffered from bad conveyance of this play style. I think Silent Hill 2 and Code Veronica were released in the same year, but I can't remember. Silent Hill 2 overshadowed Code Veronica.

[@davidcortez1214]

Love the save room music in this game. One of my favorites!

[@jack0f4lltrades28]

The main weakness of this game for me is the lack of ublockables/replayability. It's a solid game, but each playthrough is the same story. You don't explore new paths like you do in RE 2 and 3, and you don't play as different characters and interact with other characters like in RE 1 and 2. It would be the game I replay the least out of the 4, but damn is it my favorite story to play. Great weapons, dual wielding is fun, the zombies are incredibly dangerous and the puzzles are satisfying to solve. It may lack on replay value, but all the resident evil mechanics I loved from the trilogy are perfected in this one. The camera angles, the sfx, weapon variants, even the boss fights present a different challenge. You can't just fill them with lead like I previous fights, you need to play smart and strategize on the spot.

[@nong333]

If others do decide to give this gave a try, I recommend getting the PS2 port "RE: Code Veronica X" a try instead of the original Dreamcast release since that version contains some expanded lore for Wesker specifically. CVX also gave Steve a new haircut. This was never really explained officially as far as I can tell, but I believe they did it because his original haircut made him look too much like Leon.

[@filipmartinez1162]

The PS2 port runs at 480i (15fps essentially) and there's an "X" version for Dreamcast called CV Kanzenban that does run in 480P.

[@Danielss250]

My only problem with this game is the pacing. It really drags for me after the initial prison island section. And I do think that is enough to make the game less enjoyable than the original trilogy, I think it's much better to finish a game wanting to play more, than to be bored before it even finishes. I do however really like the game's difficulty. I wish more games had this lvl of challenge, but that might be just me. There are a few questionable inclusions like the insta kill traps that i'm a bit surprised you didn't even mention. But I just think that's funny and adds to the charm.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

For me personally, Resident Evil: Code Veronica is one of the greatest video games of all time right up there with The Legend Of Zelda and Shenmue games.

Getting S rank was the hardest on this game, you only had the automatic save in the middle after the plane crash, no first aids, ink ribbons, had to beat it under 4hrs I believe, I was over halfway on Chris the first run and one of those enemies that jump in the air took my head off as soon as I walked outside

[@masonr1666]

Would you consider doing two game series at the same time again? I only ask because I was surprised at how much work that seemed like it'd be, and you didnt start this until after MGS was finished instead of Ace Combat. It also seems like only one series at a time could get a bit grinding on you, but i could also see it being hard to coordinate your thoughts on the series as a whole with more time spaced between games. Was there a specific reason why you did Ace Combat and MGS at the same time? For example MGS games being really long where the Ace Combat (and AC games) can be completed relatively shorter?

[@notcole]

I did Ace Combat and Metal Gear at the same time mostly just to keep things more fresh instead of doing videos about one game series for months on end. I might have something similar in the works here soon... but you didn't hear it from me.

I find this the best resident evil all around, mixed re2-3 with other tyrant enemies. This should have been a main title because the ending of the story makes sense with Wesker and Chris’s beef.

It's one of my favorite re titles. Although I will say I do want it to get the remake treatment with added content and changing things around. Like I'd add a bonus mode like Ada's Seperate Ways where you play as Wesker during his attack on the island. It would be so fun to play as him in an expansion alongside the main story. Also I'd have Rodrigo Juan Raval be in the game a lot more. Thought he was a cool idea like have him slowly realize he's on the wrong side and help Claire and Chris more. I'd even have him live myself as a twist. Just imo of what I'd like to see in a remake.

It's not an exclusive of the Dreamcast. There is a port for PS2 called "Resident Evil Code: Veronica X" Which addresses some of the performance issues with the Dreamcast version and shows more gore in comparison. In this version, the heads of the zombies explode when you shoot them with the shotgun and some lose limbs when using grenades. I highly recommend that version instead just for the fact that you can play both discs with one. Making it easier to play on an emulator and preserve the disc.

[@kevinmajorca]

The problem with CV is that it came after RE3 while being a mechanical sequel to RE2. There is no ammo crafting, no free walking on stairs and no live selection just like RE2. Many aspects of it felt old and outdated on release. Yes, the new engine and dynamic camera were and are great addition, but Silent Hill had dynamic camera a year earlier on PS1. Also, to me the locations are drab, ugly and boring. CV reminds me lots of RE0 in many ways, and just like RE0, I don't replay CV that often.

[@johnnada6855]

Veronica is a total MESS, at the core is good cause it has the base RE formula, but after that is a mess, and you can tell is a mix between several leftover ideas plus answers to what the rival companies were doing, yes Capcom reacting to their own re clones, for example, you can totally tell D2, Alone in the Dark the new nightmare, the carrier, even shenmue and metal gear solid had influence in this game, and they had to add some stuff from those games to "catch" some of the hooks from those games, also there are leftovers from Re projects, there was an idea of returning to the spencer mansion, that´s why there was a mansion replica out of nowhere, some parts of the palace and base look like the castle in RE4, of course the idea of the twins comes from the original Re4 concept and then used in DMC and so on, in short, the main problem of this game is that you can tell Mikami left it at mid development and other people took over, just improvising a new game for SEGA, that´s why many of the improvements to the formula added to Re3 are absent in this game, so is it bad? is the worst of the good re games that´s my statement

I honestly don't see where you're coming from with this "many have forgotten about Code Veronica" and that it's "overlooked".

That being said I truly hope this is the next remake we get. It's my favorite game in the series, and while it's highly unlikely, I would love to see Claire spout the "cross dressing fr3ak" line and see game journo's heads pop over it.

[@johnnada6855]

In my opinion the original trilogy is perfect, are 3 perfect games, like 3 perfect movies, with different style of horror, being the fist mystery, the second more gore and action and the third one the running from stalker type, also you can totally say that the RE series really ended with 3, plus each game of that trilogy feels like a close experience, are really like 3 80s horror movies. Veronica and survivor really feel like spin-offs and Re4 doesn´t even feel like an Re game but another thing, Capcom didn´t have the balls to have made a new IP out of that game at that time. So Code Veronica being the real 3 "yeah right", no way !

Resident Evil: Code Veronica much like Resident Evil 3 is so fresh. even to this day, it's fresh. both games being very different and on separate consoles, helps both stay fresh longer. unlike Resident Evil 1 & 2 but I'm not criticizing 1 & 2 for that. we just played those games a lot during their initial release and we didn't have another game to play during that time so 1 & 2 became very stale quite quickly. that didn't happen with 3 & CV. oh and your videos have been great so far. I'm enjoying these look-backs at the classic Resident Evil games. please, don't do the remakes. they're so bad. the remakes have no charm whatsoever. they're just like today's games overall. uncreative and boring

Always had mixed feelings on this game, personally I was getting a little burnt out with the RE formula by the time CV came out, also some of the plot, characters and locations just felt out of place for a RE game. In saying that it's been over 20 years since I played it so I'd welcome a Remake if they made one.

You cant pop heada because a kid decapitated another kid in japan around the same time. Most japanese games were toned down at the time.

Saturn was weaker than the ps1? Ok lol.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Saturn had more raw power but was harder to develop for, and most people didn't really understand how to harness it to the same level as the PS1's polygon engine. These were considered limitations, especially in 1995.

[@hoobaguy]

@@AdoreYouInAshXI the saturn wasn't difficult to program for. The problems stemmed from sega Japan refusing to share sdks and proper tech documentation with 3rd party developers. There are satuen 3d racing games from 1995 that blow the ps1 out of the water.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

@@hoobaguy Wouldn't that essentially make it more difficult to program for? Internal developers are always going to know the architecture better.

[@hoobaguy]

@AdoreYouInAshXI the statement "the hardware was hard to develop for" implies the architecture is convoluted and prevents easy development, which is false. "Sega withheld necessary libraries and documents" implies the parent company poorly supports third-party devs, which was the case. Words mean what they mean. You can't assume people will think green when you say red, just because you know what you're thinking.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

@@hoobaguy I'm no "professional modder" or expert on the topic, but from my limited knowledge the Saturn was more complex. Taken directly from Segas legacy portal: "In certain aspects, the Sega Saturn generally has more raw power than the rival PlayStation, but its complex hardware was more difficult to get to grips with. The PS1's straightforward hardware architecture, triangle polygons, and more effective development tools and C language support, made it easier for developers to program 3D graphics. While the Saturn is just as powerful in terms of 3D graphics, the Saturn's architecture was complex and difficult to program 3D games for."

[@thomasmeglasson228]

I hated the bosses in this game. I was replaying this on the ps2 recently and gave up at the point where you have to run away from the annoying dude after he transforms. At least the super annoying one you have to snipe in the snow doesn't have a dark souls-esque runback to it.

[@nigel_saxon]

I don't know, i always found resident evil 3 harder than CV.

[@chumorgan443]

There's only two types of RE fans. 1) Want a code:V remake. Or 2) haven't yet completed code:V to know they want a remake.

[@shintenku]

Or 3 ) No Remake needed , unless it get a RE1 Remake style . Ya know ,,, an actual true Remake that respect the source material while keeping everything that made it counterpart so special and beloved with no cut content alongside adding more ? 🫠🙃

[@deezee2965]

I still think Code Veronica deserved a remake way more than 2, 3 or 4. For the only reason that the pacing and bestiary of the "Dreamcast Exclusive" (formerly) game was lacking. Still good but less impressive compared to the previous ones which aged better.

I spent years heraing how Bad this Game was, one day i just played it out of boredom and it turns out it was great. But i Guess playing the ps3 versión helped a Lot Since it was way higher fidelity. And yes, Chris feels like an after thought added For those who always cry For an A-B scenario, but it wasn't all that problemátic as most make it seems.

[@Mr.Denim1999]

That's why it gets a Remake 👍

[@filipmartinez1162]

I need a Remake of this and for it to have VR support on Day one. I'll buy 2 copies. This was the first game that made me feel like I was playing an actual movie, The expressions on the character's faces, the drama, the creepiness that made it so you didn't know where the story would go next. RE3 just felt like a wet fart after playing this, The true Evolution of Resident Evil.

[@chaser1254]

Code Veronica is the title in the Resident Evil series where, for the first time, I felt that something was going wrong with the story. The previous mainline entries may have had their quirks in voice acting and so on, but they maintained a serious tone and some balance between what made sense within the universe and what didn’t. CV, in my opinion, completely lost that balance and was the first of the series’ more circus-like entries. While this worked and was accepted in RE4 because it was a fast-paced game focused on quicker gameplay, in CV I couldn’t buy into pretty much anything, especially with the Ashford siblings at the forefront. I played through it once and never tried again. Not my Resident Evil.

[@shuboy05]

Something I just realized recently is we still have no idea who is Ada Wong and who is she working for. It really feels like Capcom is dragging that mystery on and on.

[@raiden7789]

I have been a big resident evil faen from the very start, i played the OG trilogy on the ps1 back in the 90s and I have played them all up to this point, but I did not like code Veronica when I played it on ps2. The voice acting on Steve is so bad, that to this day, i Just turn off the game when I get to him, i Just cant listen to that shit.

[@bepohal]

best RE eveer

[@Thenewbagman]

Sucha a horrible game. For me it feels like if they took all the things thay doesn't work from the 3 original games, stucked it all up togheter and turned the dial up to 13

[@Bradofosho]

It's my least favorite of the OG formula. You could just end up really screwing yourself when switching back and forth between Claire and Chris. I've only played through it twice it's fun but it's no where near the OG trilogy.

[@filipmartinez1162]

This game has some of the best VA and motion capture in the series. RE3's voice acting sounds worse than a low budget, non-union porn movie in comparison. Gameplay is about the same in both.

[@bepohal]

it's the best game. that's just a nonsense take

[@pyr8878]

I thought I wanted a remake, however on second thought it could really use a re-imagined treatment..keep the best throw out the rest. d>_0b

[@atariplayer3686]

RE Code veronica has a great sound and music design overall. However there is just so much Sci-Fi nonsense going on in the story from Wesker being able to do 25 meter jumps, Chris falling on the fighter jet cabin and going to antarctica with normal clothes are a few examples! The story needs a proper re-imagination imo.

[@Darkjack-FR]

The problem with Code Veronica was that it was a commission. Capcom supervised the development team from afar. What's more, a lot of censorship hit the game towards the end of development: Krueger became Ashford, the camp became a prison, headshots were removed, and so on. What's more, the game's level design is not so good. It's too long and boring. Code Veronica had crazy potential! It deserved better, indeed.

[@AusVtuber]

12:30 ? Steve is EXCEPTIONALLY poorly written. If it weren't for him oggling Claire's butt, the game wouldn't even have a second half to it, which is the criticism most people bring up when talking about him, but imo, they're another awful scene with him. Steve manages to say "You can rely on me Claire", and "THESE are the only things people can rely on" (referring to his guns) in nearly the EXACT same breath.

I really want Capcom to remake this game...and Dino Crisis. Sad that what stands out to me the most with this game was that one terrible fuckin boss fight with the dude with the absurdly long reach, and you have to snipe him. Seriously fuck that bullshit ass boss fight

Let me guess , Code Veronica deserves better by making it generic , Boring and unrecognisable like RE2 and RE3 reboots and strip it of everything that made it so special and beloved right ? ,,,, God forbid that it gets real remake like RE1 these days , The modern audience would flip and lose thier shit ,, 🙃🫠
