Biohazard: 5 Reasons Code Veronica Should Be The Next Resident Evil Remake (& 5 Reasons It Should Be RE4)
2026.03.01 15:41
After rumors of the RE4 remake made the rounds on Sunday, many fans were disappointed that Code Veronica wasn't getting the nod instead. The outcry was so significant that Code: Veronica began trending on Twitter despite there being no recent rumors regarding a potential remake. Despite this Dreamcast classic being overshadowed by the hype and success of RE4 , the game still has its passionate fanbase. And these fans are very vo
Another possibility is that it was a new type of Licker mutated from a zombie itself, rather than a human host. In other words, if a regular Licker is conceived from a live human host, the Licker Zombie may have been the result of converting, or applying the V-ACT process, on a zom
The original Resident Evil 3 was extremely well received and is loved by many, but the game is notorious for how something as simple and seemingly vital as dodge rolling can be incredibly difficult . Many are struggling to figure out the dodge roll in the remake as well, but thankfully it is a bit more cut and dry this t
In the end, Resident Evil 3 remake is not perfect. It has a lot of drawbacks and maybe the changes that Capcom introduced are too drastic for hardcore players, but it is by no means a bad remake. Resident Evil 3 may not be for everyone, especially to those who are looking for a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 1999 game. But nostalgia aside, the latest reimagining of Resident Evil 3 offers an intense and scary experience that allows players to experience the same story but in a different way, which is what a good remake should
Bringing back such a game ahead of its time means Resident Evil 4 's remake has a lot to live up to. That's precisely why Capcom has to perform a very delicate balancing act if Capcom intends to truly remake Resident Evil 4 in the flavor of its most recent remakes. A lot of what the original game introduced to the world of games has now become commonplace for third-person shooters, survival horror games, and other genres in general. That being said, there are plenty of quality-of-life updates Resident Evil 4 deserves that a remake could achieve thanks to innovations made in games from the past dec
Finally, the original Plant 43 was not included in the Resident Evil 2 Remake , at least not in its original form. In the original game, Plant 43 was a humanoid-shaped plant-like creature about the size of a human, which attacks the player in the corridors of Umbrella's underground lab beneath Raccoon C
Apart from the many new changes that will be introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake's Raccoon City, it appears that Capcom is also committed to making the town feel familiar to fans who have played the original game. Fabiano revealed that there will be tons of easter eggs lying around the city, and some eagle-eyed fans have already identified a few based on recent trailers and gameplay footage of the upcoming g
From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there's not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 's experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original adventure game DLC. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it'd be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil
Given that players will be exploring Raccoon City itself rather than just one building, the remake will be introducing some sort of a fast travel system for players to get around the city. It appears that Jill Valentine will be able to utilize the subway system to visit various areas of the city, and the subway will be serving as some sort of a hub connecting the game's many locations. This feature is not present in the original 1999 title, although players were able to access a cable car. However, the cable car would only take them straight to the Clock Tower before it gets destroyed for g
The game is also bursting with depth in every aspect of its design as a video game. From the core shooting mechanic to challenging dungeons and puzzles, incremental but satisfying weapon progression, heavily varied environment design, a well-balanced rising difficulty, and even some more miniscule details bring this game to life greater than many at the time. And it didn't have to be a 40-60 hours long experience to feel like players got their money's worth. Very few games felt like such a complete package as Resident Evil 4 did; Resident Evil 4 pioneered a lot for modern video games , not just the series its
The Perfect Dodge is much more difficult to pull off, but the reward is far greater as well. Timing the dodge button just before an attack hits the player will result in an animation in which the character rolls out of an attack, after which time slows down, affording the player a chance to get some well-placed shots or simply get out of danger. This is incredibly useful when trying to evade Nemesis , as simply walking away from him is often not eno
