IGN: Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD Review

Richard George writes: Ten years seems like a lifetime in the video game industry – particularly for the Resident Evil franchise. Over the past decade the series has seen four major releases, and has altered its formula considerably in that time, maturing what was clearly an archaic and dated design into something that propelled Capcom's ambitions into another league. Resident Evil: Code Veronica was released prior to the series' evolution. In other words, revisiting it might not be the best idea.

what a shame, i loved this game back in the day lol **** it im still getting it lol

rogimusprime4595d ago

agreed. if you liked it back then, then F what IGN has to say.

I don't agree with the review. I bought it and it felt just fine to me. The graphics are not an issue either....they added some nice lighting effects to it. I'm almost done with the game and I'm enjoying it like it was years ago

deno4595d ago

Game is amazing, it has that nostalgia feeling. Regardless of ignacio useless review. Im buying the game again.

KwietStorm_BLM4595d ago

I don't know why review sites even bother reviewing re-releases. They know damn well they can't help but rate it by today's standards, which in itself is an ignorant way to look at it. Just take it for what it is, or don't bother reviewing.

Pozzle4595d ago

I agree. So many reviews are saying Code Veronica is outdated (especially in comparison to RE4), but it's like "No shit! It's a game that came out over ten years ago!"

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_McClane942d 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.

darthv72942d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya942d ago

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

babadivad942d ago

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!

VersusDMC942d 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.

spicelicka1891d 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.
