Scintillating and informative as always!! 😎 <— that’s sposed to be Wesker
I still remember seeing older clips of this game on a Canadian gaming and entertainment TV show, and wondering why things like those giant spiders were not in the hallway area. I kept wondering if there was a difficulty select that I was not seeing. It drove me crazy!
It was also the last RE game to have an all-Canadian cast.
I like Code: Veronica, specifically CVX, as it was the one that returned R to the PlayStation and that it rivals RE2 in terms of story, characters and music. As for Steve, I truly believe Wesker did as he said in the CVX version and revived him like he implied, planning to brainwash him and use him as a pawn against Chris and Claire. For years I have waited for the next RE to tell THAT story about Claire trying to find and save Steve, but like with the plans that CV was going to be the first a trilogy, that got canceled with Capcom not following Nobura Sugimora's story writing and choosing Shinji Mikami's more action oriented RE4 that dropped all plot threads that haven't been wrapped up in a satisfying manner. I REALLY hope RE Code: Veronica gets a Remake and then a sequel telling the story of Claire searching for Steve.
One of the greatest video games of all time, right up there with Ocarina Of Time and Shenmue!
The British are more evil than the Germans.
Even though I'm not biggest fan of Resident Evil Code Veronica I still think the story and characters they got there is quite good heck even seeing Claire reunite with her brother is nothing to scoff at, not to mention the return of series original villain Albert Wesker powered up and more superhuman than human pulling some Matrix wannabe Schick, always entertaining he was after his revival.
It's just Code Veronica's gameplay department I feel isn't as fun as the previous games, had more annoying repetitive elements that held it back, I'm largely familiar with Revived Albert Wesker due to RE5 cause man he was the gift that keeps on giving for how powerful he is, he's also quite cocky at times making every encounter amazing, let alone entertaining in some goofy B Movie esc things.
I love learning thinks about resident evil especially the old ones
7:12 looks a lot like a kid version of Alex from Street Fighter III
As a huge Resident Evil fan who thinks he heard everx story (I've even read Itchy, Tasty which was an excellent read), this channerl never fails to impress me. I really can't wait for the second part. I think the most hilarious part here is, Capcom worried so much over the N**i stuff, Code Veronica was banned here in Germany even without these references : D Code Veronica, despite not featuring any dismemberments, was indexed for a long time here. Fortunately enough, it's not nationwide available again for everyone who at least reached the age of 16. It was also the last RE game to ever see a ban in Germany.
I think the biggest problem with Code Veronica was accessibility. The difficulty was way more punishing in the version released in the West because Capcom feared too much rental playthroughs,. Of course, the game has a lot of narrative problems and the whole existence of Steve is problematic for the game.
Cheers!
how are you viewing the level mesh at 12:00 if you dont mind me asking
16 minutes long "part 1"?? What is this, 2005?
Code veronica x with res evil dc n res evil 2 are the only games i like to play
None of this is true. Why are you making this all up? The history of these games is very well known, and that is not it.
Great job mate 👏🏾
At 0:47 is it really Hideki Kamiya on the footage or is it an error ?
Kamiya looks so different now
Re2 was ported to n64, I feel like if they really wanted to get re2 on Saturn they could
I remember all those changes in Claires outfit from reading PSM and other game mag's. I still think the RE2one was the best.
CV is where the RE storyline went off the rails, its so stupid when you think about it. Claire is a 20 yr old and how does she go about finding her brother? By infiltrating a militarized base of course and then she gets caught(duh) and THEN she sends an email to her brother so that he can come save her… wait…. WHAT!? WHY DIDN'T SHE SEND THE EMAIL BEFORE DECIDING TO INFLIRATE AN ARMY BASE!?
Ah cv. Aka, a step backwards in every way from 3.
Honestly if they are going to announce resident evil code Veronica as the next remake which I wish they would do because I really hope they don't just do five immediately it would be awesome to see them bring back the one enemy with the giant sack because not going to lie the design is really creepy and if they would have kept this in the game I think it would have startled and made a lot of players scared and freaked out every time the encounter that creature
