GS: "For genre fans, it's a treat. For Resident Evil fans it's a nice memory of a great era of the series. For everyone else, it's probably a relic that they can't understand, but bravo to Capcom to showing the world how things used to be.
Personally for me, it's absolutely unmissable. Some will call the score I've given 'nostalgia,' maybe for them it is. But I had just as much fun revisiting this game again as I did the very first time I played it."
The October Games with Gold lineup is here!
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.

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.
I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?
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.
Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
This is absolutely amazing! To this day Lost Planet is still my all time favorite online game. Love the Lost planet franchise!
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.
With the upcoming release of Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Bit Cultures takes a look at the top 10 rated Resident Evil Games.
I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing both HD remakes and these games are what Survival Horror is all about ;) While I didn't give "Code Veronica" quite the score you did (mine was 7/10),it is still a great value and all RE fans shouldn't think twice about getting it.
While I wouldn't give it a 10/10 (the lack of upscaling on FMVs is downright hideous, and the game itself can be difficult to get into with its clunky controls and dorky script), I do think many reviewers have been too harsh on Code Veronica. Especially considering many other classic games haven't been market down for being "outdated" like Code Veronica has.
But it's nice to see that there ARE reviewers out there who enjoyed it. I must admit, I had more fun with Code Veronica HD than RE4 HD. Maybe because I haven't played an old RE game for a long time, but the nostalgia and the plot were just...better than what later RE games have been. I liked that the story continued on from previous games. I've missed all the zombies, Tyrants, Hunters, Umbrella stuff. There's still so much that Capcom can do with those plots.
And for me, the entire second half of the game (where you play as Chris) is one of the best and most fun parts of any Resident Evil game. And tbh, the controls aren't THAT bad. Yes they are tank controls, but it really isn't that difficult to get the hang of them after playing for 1-2 hours. After a while, you just forget how clunky they are. Every now and then you might accidentally run into an enemy or have trouble dodging attacks and that CAN be frustrating, but it doesn't make the game impossible to play. Even with the mistakes I made, I still got through the game with a fair amount of ammo, weapons and health items. And this is coming from someone who's terrible at conserving items in games!
I'm glad I read this review, even though I was already probably going to buy it. I did not know they used the MT Framework engine for the HD release, or that the lighting was redone. Even though I have not been very happy with Capcom for a while now, I would be willing to give them my money for this.
Solid review. You have great taste in games.
this is a real hardcore survival horror game .. this is one of the best bits of Capcom :) I actually like tank controls and old good camera, where you can't know what lurks in a corner :) 9/10
