Original Gamer - HD remakes (or technically, upgrades) are all the rage these days, with God of War, Splinter Cell, Silent Hill and even Ico all being the subject of re-releases this year. Resident Evil is the latest series to be given the HD treatment, with Resident Evil 4 already released, and Code: Veronica X seeing release on Xbox 360 and PS3 this week. Originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 as simply Code: Veronica, the X comes from the subsequent PS2 version of the game, which added extra cutscenes and some minor graphical changes. Code: Veronica was the first RE game to include 3D backgrounds instead of pre-rendered backdrops, and began the move to increase action through the series with dual-wielding weapons. Veronica offers an excellent chance to see how the older, slower, ‘classic’ entries in the Resident Evil series holds up against the newer, faster, more action-packed games, and *spoiler alert*, it actually holds up quite well.
The October Games with Gold lineup is here!
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.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
