Resident Evil: Veronica (Code Veronica Remake) Announced

Please no erasure of the cross dressing community, we are unique from trans. Also we are capable of being evil like other human beings so if they take away the "cross dressing freak" line I will report them to NATO.
 
This is now my second most hyped game, at the moment. Starfox, then this.

I loved Veronica. I might hold it up even more because it was a Dreamcast game. 🤣

CV is very special to me because it the was the first RE game that was all mine. I was always obsessed with them but never owned a PS. CV also has a unique flavor to it that I love. It's an epic globetrotting story with graphics that were so clean for the time.
 
You should learn french, it's a beautiful language.

I like how they're retconning the series to make this RE:V. It's brilliant frankly. Anyone ask about Shiva and boulder punching and just act dumb about it. Eventually, the future generations will forget. This was always RE:V.
 
I played 5 last year. The hand wringing over remaking it is insane. Game takes place in Africa and half the people you kill aren't even black. Even if they were, what does it matter? It's in Africa. I don't think regular people would care.

Capcom made a lot of changes due to feedback after the initial reveal. They listened and people still raged and are waiting to do it again. I just hope it's clear (to Capcom) from the numbers the game did that the perpetually offended are not the majority.
 
I don't want to celebrate before I know what they have changed... I am afraid they've made it more "serious" and less over-the-top than the original.
I share this concern. 4R was a good example of how they stripped away a lot of the character in favour of moody atmosphere. CV has its fair share of moments and I think they're going to have a complete personality shift.

It's a manufactured controversy. All these years and I'm yet to be convinced that it's anything but. I'd wager that half the people who parrot RE5 being controversial couldn't tell you why.
Hope after this game they retcon the series direction and go somewhere else. Killing Wesker off was the biggest mistake the series ever made.
For years I've had a theory that the whole remake series has been for that sole reason. We're relatively close to seeing if I'm right.

However, I will say that
I'm not sure how keeping Wesker alive would work with an imitation Wesker also having existed. But I suppose they kept it so ambiguous that it can still go in multiple directions.

With 9 introducing clones a lot of the old rules might be rewritten. It's Capcom's own multiverse problem.
