Resident Evil R Code Veronica Remake Announced

You need to cut back on the gas station wiener pills.
 
Easily the worst RE, it was barely tested, so many soft and hardlocks. Also modern Capcom games are all the same.

Requiem was the last straw for me, until of course they change the direction of this franchise (it will never happen)

Edit: they are still trying to replicate PS1/N64/Dreamcast era level design with modern controls/camera, holy...

You could've just said "I'm insufferable" and left it at that.
 
The true Resident Evil V.

That's a good catch though: Resident Evil: V... does this mean that the original Resident Evil 5 will be phased out of the Remake series?

The game will still exist. But maybe not in the RE-Remake cannon that is now

- Resident Evil 2 Remake
- Resident Evil 3 Remake
- Resident Evil 4 Remake (partial remaster of RE4, but also a lot of story retcons to RE2R)
- Resident Evil: Veronica (The new RE5? It will feature Chris extensively too)
- Resident Evil VII
- Resident Evil: Village
- Resident Evil: Requiem

I doubt RE6 is part of this new cannon. I honestly expect Resident Evil 0 and RE1 to get 'modern' remakes as well.

The first thing I noticed was that godawful French accent. It was like a non-native speaker spoke English but with rolled Rs.

I'm intrigued by the potential of what seems to be a substantial rewriting/divergence from the OG timeline, but personally I want to see a game that is heavily in the style of 2R. I get the feeling they will go with 9 style in whatever ways they can because that sold well, but sales don't mean quality.

After 9 ended up being a flash in the pan style game for me. I plan to not buy this at release. I'll wait for a sale unless something big changes my mind.

My hope is that somehow the GOG Dream List entry for CV actually happens and PC gets OG CV(X) preserved for posterity to be enjoyed regardless of how good or bad Veronica is.
 
I hope they keep Steve Burnside as ridiculous as he is in the original though, what a legend.
"I'm sore-y, babe!"

I'm gonna be honest though, that wasn't a good trailer

It wasn't. Although, a clandestine meeting with her brother is a lot more grounded than Claire killing like 30 people in the beginning in a helicopter-and-exploding-barrels fever dream. Even as a kid, that one had me scratching my head.
 
Replacing 5 with this seems strange. I expect they'll eventually remake 5 and 6 at some point but they're going to run out of numbers, so maybe not.

Those still look fine anyway and are great coop action games with horror elements.

I never played CV, I wonder if they'll change the whole script or keep it relatively faithful minus the jank I always heard about.

As good as 1 remake is I hope that one gets a remake eventually.

5 won't get a remake for 'sensible' reasons.

What if they do the idea I wanted them to do with RE 1 and 0 (Combining both campaigns into one continuous game)?
 
Here we go, Thanks Grok

er ... they're not replacing 5 with this .. not sure what makes you think that?
My man, that big V is something they do for all their numbered titles. Not only on the box art but I think in the teasers too.

I mean if I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I'm not just randomly saying this, they've been consistent.

The V is for Veronica.

The game's title is Resident Evil: Veronica, not Resident Evil: V.

I think we're past all that, besides the original game swapped out a lot of natives for white people, there really isn't anything to complain about.

I know modern journalists will jump at anything, but consumers will jump all over the journalists.
Also, regardless of how far or not we are post-woke, nobody cared about OG RE5 except gaming media, before, during, and after.

I have no problem with that actually. I'm on a modern RE journey right now with 2R, 3R, 4R done and currently playing 7. While 7 shifts the perspective the dna is still there. 5 and 6 tho were released during the industry's stupid shove multiplayer into everything era. I honestly don't know how they can remake 5 unless they change it significantly. 6 is another big mess with its different characters styled campaigns and I have no idea how they could remake it without completely overhauling it. Not sure if they'll bother with zero but RE1 is definitely getting a remake because despite what the old fans want you to believe it's very dated.
 
the japanese naming scheme for the remakes is just so much cleaner.

clearly labelled as Biohazard RE

they should have just went with the RE7 gag and called the remakes Resident Evil BH in the west.

Resident Evil BH: 2, Resident Evil BH: 3 etc.

They don't need to overhaul RE5 and RE6 because they don't suffer with constant soft and hardlocks.

The dude saying "Bio Hazard" on the title screen of RE9 goes hard compared to "Resident Evil."
