Resident Evil 4 + Code Veronica HD Remake

[sj33]

Awesome news.

Code: Veronica was the first Resident Evil title that actually creeped me out in a more 'genuine' way rather than the quick shocks used in the previous games. The entire atmosphere (especially Rockfort Island) was incredibly unsettling. Probably the most challenging and lengthy of the traditional RE games as well (at least twice as long as the previous entries).

Can't wait to replay it. Wonder if the PS3 port of RE4 will include Move support.? Wii version worked really well by all accounts.

I honestly love everything about Code Veronica. Everything from the setting to the entire backstory about the Ashford Family. It unfortunately went underappricated because of the perception of the game as a side-game, and the fact that it was released when Resident Evil was on a bit of a wane in terms of popularity.

The Wii controls worked really well with Resident Evil 4, to the extent that the game almost became too easy - after you got the knack of the controls, you could do headshots with bearly any effort. No idea what the Move version of Resident Evil 5 is like though.

Awesome news about Code veronica . Not only is it imo the best RE game in terms of gameplay, story and unmatched set of characters and settings (in a RE game) it's also one of the best games I've ever played, EVER !.

I really love both games and would buy the collection, but as others have said, it does seems odd to include just those 2 games.

very odd pack to release what about the remake of RE 1 on the GC by far the best RE/Biohazard game. CV is the second best. Remember RE4 was not a horror game more an action shooter

I bet these are going to be the PS2 versions, slightly rezzed up like the other PS2/PS3 updates. If so that's rather disappointing and would explain why other expected games aren't included.

Here's hoping it's based on the GameCube versions then. The PS2 version of Code Veronica was a bit of a mess with the overdone motion-blur nonsense, whereas the GameCube version was pretty much the same as the Dreamcast 'Code Veronica Complete'.

Can't say I have noticed that.

It was the first thing I noticed. It was identical to the effect they used in Dino Crisis 2.

Playing CV though, it really plays badly now, the worst of the entire series. The control is simply awful, you snag on so many parts of the enemies and environments. The problem wasn't so bad in the earlier PS1 games and the REmake.

RE4 in HD with live Mercenaries leaderboards? Best news I've heard since Child of Eden was announced.

I had to play the game three times before eventually completing it. The first time I didn't have enough health/herbs and died before reaching the plane. The second time I used a guide (I couldn't be bothered to work it all out from scratch again), but the guide never mentioned picking up weapons, so I reached the plane but could not defeat the tyrant.

I eventually completed it four or five years later on GameCube. Great game, though!

I don't have any. So I had to resort to the knife. I killed it with downward stabs! No health left though but I think I can do it again and save some health.

Game is so hard.

Great news.

I was about to replay CV but the cost of a VGA box has sky rocketed . :/

Think I know the effect you?re on about, shakey. It was added in CV X on the DC too for all the Matrix inspired cut-scenes with Wesker dashing about. I wouldn?t call it motion blur though, it was kind of a trailing effect - the kind you?d see in Shenmue. ;p

Yes, if it?s the RE4 PS2 port I?ll be disappointed. They removed a fair bit of detail in that version and the cut-scenes weren?t real-time - they were nasty looking low-res GC recordings.

Best case scenario it?s the GC version with slightly spruced up graphics; if the community update for the PC is anything to go by (where that guy imported all the GC textures) it will look stunning.
