With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
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.
One of Capcom’s most beloved video game franchises, Resident Evil, has finally received its next installment in the form of the fantastic Resident Evil 4 Remake. However, fans of the series couldn’t help but notice that this same courtesy was sadly not extended to Code: Veronica, the next entry after Resident Evil 3 and a crucial addition to the overall franchise. So, let’s take a look at why this great game deserves to get the same amazing treatment that Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 got.
I would have much preferred this over RE4. my parents got me a dream cast specifically for this game, even as a eleven year old(yes I started playing RE games at the age 7 my parents let me watch and play R rated movies and games) I declared it to be one of the best RE games. Right behind RE2.
I always felt that 3 was not nearly as good as 1 2 and Veronica. Even at the age of 10 years old I remember me and my friend debating over RE3 to me it has always felt like re 2.5.
RE code Veronica, to me is the last true RE game.
While I do like the beginning of RE4 and remember waking up before school after playing all night to finish it. I felt that it kinda goes off the rails and gets way to action focused half way in. Loses the creepy vibe it had in the beginning and yeah just goes to being non horror in a lot of aspects.
If Capcom skips this entry I will be truly disappointed, for some reason a lot of fans didn’t play or don’t care about this game.. to me it’s the Second best RE game they ever made.
What about RE:make and RE zero? I believe these two were great RE (Real games) as well
I've said it a thousand times. It's not surprising that RE4 got a remake, but Code Veronica *needed* it before 4 was released, again. The overarching lore in CV is still unprecedented for the franchise, and they could do a lot to make the game feel modern. Maybe even flesh out the arctic base area.
I would love CV: Remake.
But would prefer a remake of 5. I know that is the unpopular consensus, but 5 gameplay with co-op is one of my favorites, especially the Merc mode for replayability.
Surely Capcom has seen enough requests being made for a Code Veronica remake. Just do it already. No I don't work for Nike.
WTF? Code Veronica isn't a spinoff.
