Capcom Has Updated Assets For Three Classic Resident Evil Titles, And It's Got Fans Talking

Not going to read into this. But it is very interesting to update something like that. (And definitely wouldn't mind a Outbreak Remaster/Remake with working online)

It's not interesting unless it's coming to Switch. When Resident Evil 1 got remake a long time ago for GameCube it was something special and a labor of love for the series, when these other games got remake it was for milking only and you could see that in the awful quality they carried.

@Specter_of-the_OLED what? you may have complaints about the RE3 remake but the RE2 remake was superb

I'm gonna buy the GameCube version of RE1 when it is the same regular sale price as PS4 (4.99 instead of 12.99, aka when hell freezes over).

@Specter_of-the_OLED well if its a remaster, then most likely it will be on Switch. Not everything is gonna be announced like at a time. SF6 has no platforms yet. The Capcom Fighting Collection has a Switch release. If these are remasters, then most likely Switch will be one of those platforms. If its a remake, then it won't be on Switch.

Also why these games? Why not the original RE1, RE2, and RE3.

And, RE2R is a great game while RE3R isn't great.

I think there's a high chance of Code: Veronica getting a remake in the style of the RE2 and 3 remakes. The original hasn't been re-released for current-gen consoles, unlike the 2002 remake of RE1, Zero or more recent entries.

honestly, I think this is just history and more artwork and unreleased stuff when developing these games. It won't be remasters and stuff.

@Stubborn_Monkey well, you can play it via backwards compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and its also on PS4 too. And also you can play it on PS5 via backwards compatibility.

I’d love to have a remastered Code Veronica on the Switch, even if it is the X/Complete version rather than the DC original. The PS4 BC release is horrible; blurry and low-res, it runs at 50Hz and has massive borders.

@anoyonmus Hm, I didn't know that. But I still think it could happen relatively soon, perhaps next year...

@Stubborn_Monkey well if it does, they will have to take down the fan remake that is happening right now.

Capcom have had many failed attempts at bringing Resident Evil Co-op experiences to life with lasting effect.

Outbreak are the way forward imo for a good experience for that classic RE vibe rather than the action/vs feel of the attempts like Umbrella Corps. Outbreak is generally great fun when played with real people working together to clear scenarios.

@BlackenedHalo RE2R >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RE3R

@anoyonmus @BulkSlash yeah Code Veronica on PS4 is very lacklustre. A port of the PS3 version or a remake (probably not with 4 on the way allegedly) would be nice.

I'm just waiting for 2024's Final Fight and Powerstone remakes to be revealed as those have a good chance of a Switch port.

@anoyonmus I didn't know about that fan remake, either. It's not like I want to see any fan projects getting shot down, I was just describing a possibility...

I am all for any remakes of RE games as its one of my favorite series of games. That said, I don't see many of them ever coming to Switch as the full remakes usually carry very high fidelity. Now just doing remasters with upscaled graphics could come to Switch. I would hope that the older games would get full remakes though as remasters don't offer much improvement since most of the series has already had that done. I'd love Part 1 done in the new Part 2 style so I can actually aim my gun as it would make that game way more enjoyable to play.

@OorWullie they won't a good chance of a Switch port unless it's a port of an old game or a cloud version.

The Switch will not get any more 3rd party games unless via cloud versions. It will be too weak.

@Orpheus79V Idk about CV getting ported but the Nvidia leak states Outbreak will be getting re-released or something.

I would rather have new game tbh. Revelations 3 on Switch would be nice.

I will be overjoyed if they remake Code Veronica. A great entry in the mainline and a direct sequel to RE2. It was actually supposed to be labeled RE3, until Sony inisted on getting a trilogy for the PS1. Explains why RE3 is quite weak in comparison to the other entries of the tank control era (or proper RE survival horror IMO).

I'd prefer a full remake of Code Veronica. I find it to be the weakest of the classic style REs.

@Specter_of-the_OLED

Just tell us you never played RE2 Remake 🤡

@anoyonmus I can't imagine Final Fight and Powerstone remakes being that demanding. Final Fight will probably be along the lines of Streets of Rage 4 and come to all consoles. Powerstone is just an isometric fighter that still looks pretty good. I imagine it'll retain much the same style and be focused on online play.

With the global chip shortage hampering PS5 and XSX sales and likely to continue until well into next year, new games will be getting released on last gen consoles for longer than planned. And if they can run on PS4 and XBO, then there will be 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 that get a Switch port too. With Switch sales being how they are and Nintendo saying it has a good few years left, it won't be short on 3rd party games. There likely won't be anything from EA and Ubisoft of course but that's nothing new.

Edit - I don't know why I called Powerstone an isometric fighter as it's not and I owned it and loved it but still, the Switch should be able to handle a modern version.

I never understood the hate for RE3R … I mean, yeah… RE2R is better… but it doesn’t make 3 a bad game… it just wasn’t as close to the original game… but neither 2R.

@fafonio the hate for RE3R is because it cut out a lot of important sections that were in the original. It is completely different than the original.

RE2R is more closer to the original

@fafonio It's definitely not a bad game, it just kinda felt lazy and rushed in comparison to the RE2 remake. It had a lot of potential it didn't really live up to imo. It's one thing to change stuff, but they actually omitted entire sections and enemy types from the original.

I've been waiting for a Code Veronica remake for years.

@anoyonmus @oldmanhermit yeah but as far as I remember so did 2.
I guess 2 had more a following because it was the first remake… but they cut content, sections and enemies from the original games too. I mean, just from fighting the last boss I was like “that’s it?”

But I agree that RE3R cut a lot of corners, a bit more than 2. But it’s not a bad game and gets a lot of undeserved hate.

Still waiting for RE1 on GBC and RE2 on GBA. How about they finish those first...

Not bothered about the outbreak games but would definitely love a code Veronica remake

@Moistnado I would've bought the trilogy (4 , 5 & 6) on my switch if it went on sale for the same price as it does on PS4 instead of £12 each when they're on sale

Veronica need a remake not a remaster! Don't care about other two won't call them classics. Veronica though is for many people the real sequel to Resident Evil 2. It didn't sell that well though and it will probably sell less than RE3 if it gets released cause its a less known title. So i'm not sure if it worth the assets and money to remake it for Capcom.

@Specter_of-the_OLED I think the only complaints I got about the remakes is the remodel of characters. Leon and Claire are my favorite characters in the franchise but it felt it wasn't them in the remake, and no matter how much I don't like Christ Redfield, the new model makes him a completely different character visually. Besides that, the games are ok

remake of Resident Evil Code Veronica coming to all consoles except Switch?

@Specter_of-the_OLED

Resident Evil 2 Remake is just as good as the RE1 remake.

It’s the best way to play Resident Evil 2.

I will admit that Resident Evil 3 Remake is hit or miss. But then again, I consider RE3 to be the third worst main title in the franchise (RE5 is mediocre and RE6 is so bad in my opinion that it gets its own category in the worst games I’ve ever played) so I didn’t feel strongly about the RE3 Remake to begin with. But they actually made the game worse by cutting out nearly half of its content.

But RE2 Remake? I consider it superior to RE2 original in almost every way. It has flaws, but it’s a fantastic way to experience RE2’s story. Which is really what matters since classic pre RE1 and RE0 gameplay has aged about as well as a six month old dead body in a jungle.

RE1 Remake and RE0 made huge improvements to the gameplay and control inputs over the previous games. I mean it was still a mess by modern standards but it was far better than the PlayStation titles.

@dimi

Code Veronica was a Dreamcast title. That hobbled it’s potential sales. It didn’t see a PS2 port until two years later and the X version was poorly advertised at the time. It’s a “lost” resident evil.

RE3 is a far worse game, but it had the benefit of being released on a console that had 80 million users by that point (the PS1) as well as going multiplatform not long after.

@Shiro28

I dunno why Capcom is so obsessed with Chris.

I mean the dude is a total screw up. In every single Resident Evil game he stars in his entire squad dies. Every single time.

He also has the personality of a wet paper bag.

Leon is a much stronger male protagonist. Always has been.

My favorite character though is Ada Wong. I wish they would give her her own mainline RE game. She gets campaigns in some of them but she hasn’t had an entire game to herself yet.

@dimi A Code Veronica remake would sell the same as 2 Remake and 3 Remake. It would be a completely new game in a new age when Resident Evil games are consistently good. Yes, RE3 Remake is also good. The story of Code Veronica is the most fascinating although my favourite game is Resident Evil Remake.

@BlackenedHalo No it wasn't. You don't need to remake games that are already good. It doesn't even make sense.

@Shambo wdym finish those?

Ugh more remasters...we really are in the time of gaming zombieism.

@UglyCasanova No one's forcing you to buy them. There are plenty of new games to play

@Would_you_kindly yeah, I would have got a lot of these games if they were not so much more expensive than PS4. Switch tax.

I would really like to see a remake for Code Veronica. The original is one of the few RE games I've never played.

@Specter_of-the_OLED Strongly disagree. Resident Evil 3 Remake was, in my opinion, a very strong remake that refined the 3rd person gameplay and zeroed in on the things that make Resident Evil great. I think I played through it 4 times, and still want to go back again. I know the changes they made were decisive, and the game was a bit short, but c’mon, Capcom clearly put tons of work into these remakes. But we’re all entitled to our opinions!

Oooooh... a switch version of Code Veronica would be something. Haven't played that since my DC days.
Then perhaps we can have Dino Crisis too???
