The audacity! After the RE3 remake, it should be a Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake! Get it together, Capcom!

Survival Horror game remakes are in full swing! Notable titles such as Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark, and Silent Hill are being remade for the next-gen. The time is now for a Resident Evil Code Veronica since the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 have made us wanting for more.

Some players are disappointed about RE3's length and 'missed' content. The point is, if Capcom somehow decides to add more content to RE3 (and here's me hoping), they would be received well by the fans. The overall design of the game (including RE2 remake) stayed true to the original. The direction for the RE4 remake next year has also been to stay true to the original. All things considered, a Code Veronica remake will do just fine.

Code Veronica has been an entry point to new Resident Evil fans as well. Despite that CV is somewhat of a spin-off. I remember reading Code Veronica on one of the old gaming magazines and I instantly dreamed of playing it. Because getting a Dreamcast was impossible for me back then. I had a huge yearn to play Code Veronica after seeing the next-gen graphics. Now it's a repeat imagining how a Code Veronica remake would play out.

Clearly there's a market for Resident Evil Code Veronica. In fact, a Resident Evil: Code Veronica fan remake is already being developed. The fan/indie game is currently on alpha. So we can only wonder why Capcom is still not poised to grab this opportunity. To be fair, Capcom may be working on 'RE9' instead which is understandably kept as a secret (Kawata 2022).
