Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD Review (GamingBolt)

"Code Veronica X returns in HD to attempt to frighten gamers once more but, despite offering a great sense of nostalgia to back when Resident Evil was actually scary, this lacklustre port is a poor depiction of an otherwise incredible game"

OK some of the scores this game has being receiving really bothers me. Code Veronica is a "lazy port", but RE4 is considered by most reviewers to be one of the best HD remakes that have been released?...even though Capcom put the same amount of effort (or lack thereof) into both. WTF.

CloseSecond5352d ago

The RE4 HD release was great but for some low res textures. Never played X but might check it out if its good.

trouble_bubble5352d ago

I know, right? They're reviewing RE4 as RE4 rather than a cheapo upscaled "HD" RE4 with no new additions. No 3D, Move support, right stick aiming or proper trophies. Ya RE4 is great, but so is RE:CV. These HD ports however aren't up to the $39.99 standards set by GOW, Sly and soon Ico&shadow.

Fil1015352d ago

totally agree although i loved RE4 i'm more for the original resi games and for me code V is closer to the original games, i'll probably get slated for this considering this is N4G but I prefer code V over RE4 story wise this is typicle resi

Code Veronica X on the PS2 was itself a port from the Dreamcast thus the relatively older visual quality. nonetheless Code Veronica is still considered one of the best in the series.

i still got to see it myself.

Castlevania and Resident Evil are always good

Neonridr1697d ago

the old stuff here vastly outshines the newer stuff, lol

How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.

I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

John_McClane1696d ago

Getting rid of the gold paywall entirely works for me.

@John_McClane
I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.

I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.

I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.

darthv721696d ago

I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?

Yui_Suzumiya1696d ago

Yeah, it had an HD remaster during the PS3 / 360 era

babadivad1696d ago

Same. That game was long AF!!

Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.

Resident Evil and Castlevania crossover Video game and Anime series confirmed!

VersusDMC1696d ago

Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.

This is absolutely amazing! To this day Lost Planet is still my all time favorite online game. Love the Lost planet franchise!

ActualWhiteMan2646d ago

Glad I kept this one. Great game, very underrated.

Movefasta19932646d ago

lost planet 1 and 2 are gems imo

spicelicka2646d ago

2 is the one with 4 player co-op right? That was amazing! Being able to fight giant monsters in co-op was so awesome. It was like Monster hunter with guns.

Movefasta19932645d ago

it had an underrated pvp mode too
