Got an itch to replay Code Veronica. How does /vr/ feel about it nowadays?

[Anonymous No.9413937]

It's not great.

Literally aged the best among the classic-gameplay REs. Perfect mix of deliberate tank-controls gameplay and dynamic cameras.

[Anonymous No.9413945]

I have the PS2 verison of the game along with the game guide, I wager I could probably get $2k out of both of those things.

It has the worst tank-controls gameplay out of the classic entries so I have no idea what are you on about. It has worse animations than RE1, gameplay mechanics are on par with 2 since it lacks all the cool shit that RE3 added. Flat 3D textures aged like shit. The only good thing is the item hunting and exploration since the maps are pretty big and game is quite long.

Its still worth playing but many aspects of it are subpar for the series standards.

I replayed 0 a few months ago and I enjoyed it way more than on my initial playthrough years ago. All the threads about it gave me retroactive PTSD that is, I feel, undeserved.

There is way less backtracking than most people imply, you need hookshot twice and you can backtrack in under two minutes in both of those instances.

My biggest gripes were that game starts looking gorgeous but the more it unfolds the lazier the areas get with less attention to detail, with the ending areas looking very flat and almost Code Veronica-tier in terms of textures.
And the godawful 6 item slots inventories. Other than that it was quite fun and I enjoyed my time with it.

I love Resident Evil, I really love it. I've beaten 1-4 countless times and rank them as some of my favorite games ever made. All the unlockables, little secrets, different endings and choices, it all just just exudes passion from the staff that worked on those games.

Code Veronica and Zero are remarkable because they're so similar to those first three PS1 games, but just so fucking miserable and boring to play. The X factor is missing and they wouldn't get it back until Resident Evil 4. The series was in dire need of change after 3 terrific games and one amazing remake in that formula and I'm glad they shook things up. The people who bitch about RE4 are often zoomers who hate it because a YouTuber told them too. I didn't like Code Veronica or Zero back then, I don't now, and I probably won't ever. They're just not very fun.

It would be better without Steve

[Anonymous No.9414110]

i remember getting stuck because theres a character switch to chris at the end of the game and you were supposed to transfer your items to that character before that happens but there was no way to know that, so i just ended up having no weapons and no way to beat the boss. thats when i stopped playing it. overall i didnt hate the game though, but the design is way less polished than the first 3 games.

If you ever replay it, knife is OP and you can save a lot of ammo throughout the game, and particularly in the initial hour or two by abusing knife against regular zombies.

3 is a game that has no idea what it wants between a survival horror and an action game, also it relies on gimmicks to try to give the illusion that it's not stagnating painfully. I do not need to point out the absolutely insipid artistic direction, enemies and setting.

3 was in hindsight 100% correct in pushing for a more action oriented approach, while still remaining close to the original formula.
if re4 had followed the footsteps of re1 and re2, nobody would have bought it and the series would have died like dino crisis

rpcs3 for best lighting and least input lag.
flycast if you want the original version without the added cutscenes (many don't prefer them)

The game is actually very dark on DC, they tried to fix it by messing with the contrast for the GC release. If you use shaders you can fix the issue to some degree.

It's mostly a makeshift solution that will work as long as the rooms are actually dark, bright rooms like some frozen parts of the antartica base are way too bright on GC.

I liked it.

It's not difficult as long as you remember to conserve your ammo and healths, use the exploding barrels efficiently, run past the bandersnatches, etc.

The in game documents are interesting if you're genuinely into the RE lore.

PS2 Code Veronica X was comically over produced. The GameCube copies are the ones that cost money because they made about six of them.

The Resident Evil PS1 trilogy are must-play and timeless classics. They really do not make games like such anymore.
