Carl Williams writes, "Resident Evil – Code: Veronica was a seminal title for the Sega Dreamcast. Why? When Sony launched the Playstation console in mid 90’s it was quite a surprise move. Sure, there were rumblings in the gaming magazines of the time and around the playgrounds across the world. It still came as a surprise though, no one knew what to expect from Sony and their first attempt at a console. Besides, they are were heading up against Sega’s Saturn- there was no way, coming off the high of the Genesis (ignore the failure of the 32X for a moment) that Sega could screw up the 32-Bit era. They did. One title really opened the eyes of gamers to the world of 32-Bit (besides the amazing selection by Namco at the time) and that was Resident Evil. Sure, the Saturn got the first Resident Evil (it also got the first Tomb Raider) but it didn’t help all that much."

The shadows of rose DLC (REvillage) mannequin section is definitely top 10 worthy but is missing...
The Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Code Veronica remakes will reportedly not be as "ambitious" as Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Maybe they are talking about lenght? Because RE4 Remake is definitely larger than the first two modern remakes.
I really really hope they don't think it's "ambitous" to actually make the game a full game
Understandable to me. RE4 is one of their most important title's compared to these. People like to complain about anything. Be happy RE4 turned out as good as it did…
Sorry but these titles walked so RE4 could run. Bottom line is they are longer games and capcom doesn't wanna set the expectations high. Which is disappointing.
Interesting. I would imagine it actually requires a lot more of work in terms of rewriting the story.
While I hated how they destroyed Nemesis in the RE3 remake, CV could really benefit from a major story overhaul. From the super corny opening action pumped sequence of Claire running from bullets to Jar Jar Binks level of writing of Steve character.
Steve is in dire need of remake redemption treatment. It worked for Carlos and Ashley, and made Luis better too.
It's either like RE2 remake or they are keeping the static camera and redoing it in RE engine.
I think it will be like RE 2 remake and the not ambitious part is not making big set pieces or making it open with side quests like RE4 and Village.
As an oft-overlooked game in the franchise canon, Resident Evil: Code Veronica deserves the remake treatment over Resident Evil 5
If I have to decide between Code Veronica and RE5, then I go with Code Veronica Remake.
RE5 and 6 were more action oriented than survival horror.
Resident Evil 5 was an amazing game and pretty similar to RE4 in terms of its horror/action formula. It just couldn't top RE4 which was a standout game. Regression to the mean, y'know.
I agree the less said about RE6 the better though.
I really don't think we will have to decide. It's clear these games are a huge success critically and commercially. They will remake CV, zero, 1, 5, and 6.
100% agreed, RE Code Veronica should be the next remake. I expect CAPCOM to bring out RE9 first though.
