[Neff]

Will buy again, I adore this game.

I'm sure he would, but I think he's dead. I had a conversation with him previously, and I'm pretty sure he said the Resident Evil series has never had any formal exclusivity contracts.

Yep, RE has never had any exclusivity, despite Mikami's wishes.

RE3 was originally a small RE2 spinoff intended to fill the gap between RE2 and the next 'main' RE title, which went through a number of concepts and projects, Code Veronica being one of them. The RE3 project eventually grew in size and budget and became a full-fledged game.

Personally, I see RECV as more of a legit sequel to RE2.

Lol at the edit, you had me thinking there. What was he banned for, and more importantly who is gonna be our resident 'RE:CV is the real RE3' debunker now?

I nominate Neff.

ho ho ho

IIRC News Bot was banned for getting a little heated in a 'is RE5 racist?' debate.

 

[Bloodporne]

It's going to be an uprezzed version of the PS3 version, it would require a lot of work for any significant improvement.

I'm not up on CV by any means but I assume the PS3 was just the PS2 version essentially? As in, same game as always obviously with uprezzing, right?

 

[Schlomo]

Nope, it had a whole new lighting engine AFAIR.

 

[Xpliskin]

"Worst classic resident evil" etc etc

Which I think is blatanly wrong having played it at the time of release on DC

 

[MetalSlug]

I really hope it makes its way onto Steam!

 

[MetalSlug]

I hope they add an "easier" mode in cause jesus fuck code veornica is hard.

It's the easiest in the series.

Hint : Use the knife! Most powerfull weapon for most of the game

 

[Murkas]

I liked CV

I would put it above

Spoiler

.

I hope the next ported remastered game that's already been remastered for PS3 is the MGS collection.

 

[Capra]

I don't think CV is "hard" per se. It's just that by Classic RE standards, it's obscenely long and so the issue of having limited ammo and other resources that you need to manage and hoard in preparation of the inevitable boss fight is amplified by like a bajillion times over. Aside from the infamous plane boss, I can think of a few notable points where the difficulty suddenly ramps up and if you aren't properly prepared, it might become a nigh-unwinnable situation.

Although fuck those Stretch Armstrong things.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Need a PC release. This was the first game I got with my PS2. Love it.

 

[abbyabs]

Amazing news a very underrated RE game can't wait to play it again.

 

[brandonh83]

"Worst classic resident evil" etc etc

Which I think is blatanly wrong having played it at the time of release on DC

I think it's the worst just because of how much I like the others. CV is up there, but I wouldn't put it over the first three. So that makes it the "worst" to me but I still love it.

Hoping we get a retail version of this and 3.

 

[butman]

Best classic Resident Evil after REmake.

 

[AuthenticM]

Underrated? I'd say it's the most overrated.
Underrated would be RE3, and how everyone calls it a pointless sequel. Despite adding more gameplay elements than CVX did to the original formula. Yeah

preach

The Bandersnatch is the worst fucking classic RE enemy.

 

[shawnbuddy]

Maybe one day they'll make a visible version.

 

[kc44135]

Yeah, this is pretty cool. I definitely like CVX, even if it's not favorite. I don't like it as much as the original trilogy or REmake, but it's definitely a cut above RE Zero (I still like that game as well, but it has major issues). I really doubt they'll make any improvements over the previous HD release aside from 1080p and maybe 60 FPS. It would be nice to see some more improvements than last time though, as some of the textures look really rough at 720p, and this release will likely run at much higher resolution. It would also be really cool to have an option to switch between the new style of lightning from the previous remaster and the lighting from the earlier versions which I know many prefer (I prefer the new style, personally).

 

[Brhoom]

60 fps and I'll triple dip.

 

[Tohsaka]

This is the only mainline game in the series I never finished, will probably have to rectify that.

 

[Mindman]

This is the only mainline game in the series I never finished, will probably have to rectify that.

You should. It's very good. Don't believe the haters.

 

[brandonh83]

The haters will only slow you deeooownnn

 

[Jawmuncher]

You should. It's very good. Don't believe the haters.

The haters will only slow you deeooownnn

I would say the very positive impressions also draw a wrong picture of the title as well. While it is my least favorite RE mainline since I feel it's very dated. It still has its charms and is of course playable.

The answer is definitely in the middle. Play it, but go in with tempered expectations. If you go in with expectations of "best RE" you're more than likely gonna get hurt if you've never played it before.

I rarely see new people play the game now for the first time hold that opinion. Especially when it's often considered the hardest title and the easiest one to get into a no win state in.

 

[Tohsaka]

You should. It's very good. Don't believe the haters.

I liked what I played of it, but I got stuck at a boss or something without enough ammo and didn't feel like restarting, so I just never went back to it. I'll use a walkthrough next time probably.

 

[The Last One]

So looks like Revelations and Code Veronica HD will be this years RE game ports. I'd also bet this hits Xbox one and PC.

Finally more people can play what is one the best entries in the series

Fixed it.

 

[brickarts295]

At this rate RE3 will be the only not given the HD/current gen port treatment. Unless RE2 Remake is a success.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

At this rate RE3 will be the only not given the HD/current gen port treatment. Unless RE2 Remake is a success.

I'm pretty sure a remake will come. The only question is when.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm pretty sure a remake will come. The only question is when.

After RE8 as long as RE2make does well.

Fixed it.

A terrible edit

 

[TRUE ORDER]

I expected to see this happening, nice one even CV isn't my favorite.

 

[sphinx]

no look how Resident Evil 4 is that only manline modern game without a fucking platinum trophy.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Yay but man I want to see more of the Resident Evil 2 remake. I need my HD Claire man and not the REV 2 one either

 

[TheSeks]

Need a PC release.

It boggles me that it never made it over, given they ported it to MT Frameworks and that engine runs like a dream on PC.

If this and Bio2:HD hit Steam, the only one in the series that isn't a Spinoff that would have to be ported/released would be Biohazard 3.

 

[Rymuth]

Yay but man I want to see more of the Resident Evil 2 remake. I need my HD Claire man and not the REV 2 one either

Whut, you don't like Claire Maguire?

 

[Bl@de]

It's Capcom and MT Framework. Game will definetly come to PC and most likely have fantastic performance. And since CV has 3D environments: Bring on the texture mods! (Alex and Cris, I'm looking at you guys ;-))

 

[How About No]

Nice, one of the suckiest REs but that just means it's relatively okay compared to other games

The haters will only slow you deeooownnn

Later Clee-air!

 

[FingerBang]

Nice nice nice! It's the only one I want to replay since I don't remember much about it (except that I loved it and felt a lot like RE1).

Also, 7 made me realize how much I was craving for a new "classic" survival horror. So tired of all those hide and seek games (even though I loved Amnesia and liked Outlast) with no real puzzles and combat,

 

[Varg]

Remember beating this game as a kid on my dreamcast . Very hard and my favorite resident evil after 2

 

[jackal27]

Hell yes. This will look excellent in HD.

 

[MulderYuffie]

I'd welcome this too.
I just hope CV, and Revs1 get a physical release.

Same here along with a CV PC port.

 

[Randam]

Give us a fucking Remaster of Outbreak all ready damnit.

 

[Markitron]

ho ho ho

IIRC News Bot was banned for getting a little heated in a 'is RE5 racist?' debate.

Haha.

I'm not surprised about that, he always came on a bit strong, which I'd expect from an account that seems like it was set up solely to correct people about the history of Resident Evil.

Hell yes. This will look excellent in HD.

I would adjust my expectations if I were you, it was an eyesore on PS3 and will likely look even worse on PS4. Still a great game ofc.

Yay but man I want to see more of the Resident Evil 2 remake. I need my HD Claire man and not the REV 2 one either

I think it's a safe bet that we will see it at E3, by then it will have had 2 years development time. If it's got the fixed-camera perspective we may even see it this year, but the 20th anniversary next year is more likely.

 

[KennyLinder]

Give us a fucking Remaster of Outbreak all ready damnit.

Outbreak was cool, although the PAL version didn't have online (yeah, the online Resident Evil game).

 

[kamineko]

My least favorite mainline title

Will buy

 

[JimmyRustler]

In what? Cause if you're referring to the Wesker Report I thought that wasn't canon anymore? Maybe I'm wrong...

Spoiler

Wesker clearly says in in the last sequence of the game that Steve is not dead.

I know this game in and out. Just believe me.

 

[YianGaruga]

Looks like the rating was removed. Actually I think all the ratings that were added yesterday were removed. Someone messed up

 

[shmoglish]

I hope we get a retailversion for CV/all of the Rerereleases. Never played CV, only saw some Scenes of the game.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

New models please!

REmaster Chris & zombies + the Code Veronica Claire from the in-engine cutscenes (has more polygons than the model you control).

 

[kromeo]

The Bandersnatch is the worst fucking classic RE enemy.

Explosive crossbow kills them before they can hit you. The bat boss in 0 is worse, and the leech marcus'

 

[giancarlo123x]

Welp. Buying all these in a digital PS3 sale turned out to be pointless

RE6, Revelations 1, RE4, Code Veronica

I'm assuming the two Chronicles games will come at some point too.

Remake the 2 of them in psvr like until dawn and I'll pay 60 dollars for it.

 

[gelf]

My appreciation for CV has grown recently. I like that its a harder entry then most of them, and that ammo is scarce in the beginning and it has a nice big map and some RE1 style puzzles. Its probably the closest in feel to RE1 in general actually.

Also contrary to popular opinion the Tyrant plane boss is one of my favourite bosses of all time. The true worst part of CV is the moth corridor before the save room.

 

[Y2Kev]

I would like it just so a few of us (including neff) can have another thread arguing about whether or not it sucks.

 

[onken]

Awesome, played it a bunch on PS and will play it again for sure. PC version too please!

 

[ZeoVGM]

So looks like Revelations and Code Veronica HD will be this years RE game ports. I'd also bet this hits Xbox one and PC.

Finally more people can play what is the most dated entry in the series

That would be the original RE.
