A remake of RE4 is rumored for a 2022 release. But that doesn't mean Capcom won't bring us back to the 2000 Dreamcast classic somewhere down the line. With next-gen hardware on the horizon, it's likely that any possible Code Veronica remake will find a home on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Here are six reasons why Capcom should bring Code Veronica into the next generation and four reasons they should
It’s a symbolic gesture of growth, a sign she is able to move forward with an appearance that abandons the regal pretense of her namesake and the royal family she was born to serve no matter the cost. Zelda has long been bound by the shackles of her own lineage, and it’s something this iteration of the character will not be constrained by. She’s confident, bossy, and compassionate in a way that Zelda has seldom been before, and cutting ties with these other versions of herself through abandoning her golden locks is a fitting end to a character arc filled with misplaced doubt regarding exactly where she belongs in the world.
Resident Evil's G-Virus was essentially a fusion of various T-Virus samples and the Nemesis parasite that were tested on Lisa Trevor over many years. The various T-Virus samples in her body caused her immune system to kill the Nemesis parasite and fuse with it, resulting in the accidental birth of the mighty G-Virus, which Umbrella removed from
Catra from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power and Amity Blight from The Owl House also change their hairstyles to serve their character development, whether that be accepting their own sexuality and leaving behind oppressive familial structures or welcoming those who once pushed you away and putting aside a toxic life of villainy. Once again, these are all female characters confronting a heteronormative society and fighting back against it, even if said worlds are fantastical in nature and far more eccentric than our own. If done right, characters can still be grounded and relatable, as their struggles become ones we can sympathise with. It’s beautiful, so perhaps there’s a reason this tried-and-true trope has so much staying power in modern media.
Remaking Code Veronica on next gen consoles would provide this cult classic with a visual update that it has long deserved. It has been over 20 years since the game's initial release in February 2000 on Sega's Dreamcast. Although, visually enhanced in 2011, the graphics don't hold up well to today's standa
Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2 , which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved.
Capcom has already remade the first three games in the series and updated their graphics for modern standards. If Capcom were to continue making their remakes in chronological order then Code Veronica should be next on the list. Claire's adventure on Rockfort Island and Antarctica takes place three months following the event of RE2 and RE3: Nemes
He’s one of the most iconic characters in video games, and Nintendo allowed us to shape him into something that represents us even if it goes against exactly how the canonical universe might have wanted it. All these years later, it remains one of the game’s strongest elements, and it seems Breath of the Wild KOTOR 2 Restoration project is not only expanding upon the potential for fashion, but providing the player with ample tools to make this version of Link into whoever or whatever they want. Obviously, I’m going off a brief reveal trailer, but there’s so much here to delve i
This enhanced version of Code Veronica X can be played now on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One through backwards compatibility. Or if you really want to get old school, fire up a Dreamcast. Play Code Veronica like it originally was inten
Final Fantasy 9 ’s Princess Garnet is the closest comparison to Zelda in the gaming world, largely because their circumstances, personality, and overall drive are so similar. Garnet takes a dagger to her hair at a pivotal point in her character arc. Her kingdom is approaching ruin and her mother is gone, so this moment is a reclamation of agency that has long been kept away from her. Gone is the received pronunciation and royal procedures that have long held her back from living a normal, fulfilling life. Travelling with Zidane and company has taught her the importance of this heritage while simultaneously inspiring her to walk away from it. However, blood remains thicker than water, so returning to the city that helped shape her only to solemnly leave it behind is poetic.
RE3 was originally designed as a spin-off , side-story, so it was never meant to be that big of a game. And despite Code Veronica not being a numbered title, it was given much more detail than RE3 . And as previously stated, Code Veronica appears more like a sequel to RE2 than the most recent remake. Simply put, RE fans deserve a bigger survival horror title to stink their teeth into and a Code Veronica remake would be the right cho
