Earlier this year, Capcom released its latest remake, which is a reimagining of the events of Resident Evil 3 . Of course, given the success of the RE2 remake one year prior, fans had high expectations on the Resident Evil 3 remake. Unfortunately, when the game finally released last April, fans were a bit disappointed by how far the RE3 remake strayed from the original . Sure, it still retained the basic premise of RE3 but the sequence of events has been reshuffled so much that it is barely recognizable from the origi
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
When Resident Evil 4 first released on Gamecube in 2005, it not only transformed the Resident Evil series into a third-person action game with horror elements, but Resident Evil 4 set the bar for quality game design and technological achievement for action-gaming at the t
I’ve touched on Breath of the Wild’s ending before, and how it's an almost perfect example of melancholic hopefulness. The evil is vanquished, and now Link and Zelda are tasked with forming a new life together, with rebuilding Hyrule and comprehending what’s next after hundreds of years away from home. Hyrule is both keenly familiar and an unknown quantity, with so much changing over the past century while many of its core fundamentals remain the same. Now they need to move onward and figure out what to do next, carrying all of their past losses on their shoulders while adding further responsibilities to the p
With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Capcom has the potential to make a REmake more powerful than any game before it. Even if RE4 gets the next gen treatment first, Code Veronica should be next in line for a full-fledged remake. Imagine your journey through Rockfort Island and Antarctica with breath-taking 8K visu
If Resident Evil fans want to play Code Veronica so badly, they can still play the HD remaster. This 2011 release, although not visually perfect, is still a very fun game to play. Besides, the graphics aren't that outdated and still look quite pretty. The old-school vibe of fixed camera angles really brings back feelings of nostalgia that might be killed off in a rem
As previously stated, remastered games are also quite profitable much like remakes. Resident Evil 4 has been ported and remastered to multiple different consoles, past and current gen. And this isn't because re-releasing games is a hobby for Capcom. One of the more recent RE4 remasters, released for the PS4 and Xbox One in 2016, sold 1.6 million un
RE: Code Veronica follows up on Claire Redfield's search for colossal Weapon damage boost her brother, something that is first referenced in Resident Evil 2 . Immediately, the game shows us that Claire's mission to find her brother led her to an Umbrella facility in Paris. The character storylines of both games are inherently linked, something absent in comparison to R
When it comes to gameplay, Code Veronica is almost two times longer than Resident Evil 3: Nemesis . On average, it takes about 11.5 hours to beat a Code Veronica campaign (X or original). Meanwhile, it takes gamers about 6.5 hours to beat the original RE3 . The remake for RE3 takes even less time to beat, with an estimated average six hours of gamep
The final moments still make me tear up, acting as the perfect distillation of why these characters are so excellent. Zelda is steadfast in her resilience, but willing to fall victim to her emotions when it really matters. She’s vulnerable, but in a way that simply serves to make her stronger as she moves proudly into the future. Breath of the Wild 2 presumably takes place in the present, with Link and Zelda exploring alongside one another as they rebuild the region into an image they can be proud of. This inevitably leads them to investigate some unusual occurrences beneath Hyrule Castle. Because they’re the unluckiest duo in the world, this releases yet another ancient evil as Zelda is yeeted into a pit and Link finds himself adorned with a bad case of neon zombie arm. Time to save the world again, I gu
Firstly, graphical overhauls are to be expected, and if M-Two is leading the development of Resident Evil 4 Remake , it is possible they may also be using the same game engine that was used in Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake , as well as other Capcom games. Though the original Resident Evil 4 is more action-packed than the smooth and precise controls offered by those two recent Resident Evil remakes, the new engine could certainly accommodate and scale it in order to ensure it can still keep up in a more action-driven environm
In 2019, Capcom released the Resident Evil 2 remake, and it is evident that the studio learned its lesson when it comes to the importance of platforms this time around. RE2 remake was released to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Given the wide variety of platforms available, the Resident Evil 2 remake was able to reach every single Resident Evil fan, except for the Nintendo Switch, which is understandable given that the franchise isn't that popular with most Nintendo players. However, apart from releasing the game on the right platforms, the Resident Evil 2 remake was heralded for staying true to the essence of the original game. Interestingly enough, the RE2 remake is not a shot-for-shot re-imagining of the original, but it was still able to keep the essence of the first game even if it's not as faithful as the 2002 Resident Evil rem
