Say what you will about remakes being played out, it’s still highly profitable. Capcom has made millions of sales when it comes to Resident Evil remakes and remasters. The long-awaited remake of Resident Evil 2 outsold its original PlayStation version by over 800,000 units. Similarly, HD remastered versions of Resident Evil and RE0 both outsold their original GameCube releases by at least a million un
Remaking Code Veronica on next gen consoles would provide this cult classic with a visual update that it has long deserved. It has been over 20 years since the game’s initial release in February 2000 on Sega’s Dreamcast. Although, visually enhanced in 2011, the graphics don’t hold up well to today’s standa
No matter what happens, it remains important to consider the symbolism behind Zelda’s appearance, and how her luscious new hairstyle could be a sign of change for her character that allows her to abandon the shackles of royalty and strive for independence beyond grief and trauma. It’s a powerful message of perseverance for a woman who deserves agency, even more so when you consider the classics that inspired her and how female characters in the world of gaming are finally earning a similar level of respect to their male counterparts.
However, the next rumored remake in the RE series is Resident Evil 4 , speculated to be released sometime in 2022. The events of RE4 takes place a whole six years after RE2 . If the RE4 remake releases before a Code Veronica remake then chronological order obviously isn’t that important to Capcom. However, even if Capcom doesn’t maintain chronological order, there is still a chance Code Veronica will be updated for next gen consoles. The drive to maintain chronological order would just mean the remake of Code Veronica could see an earlier release than expec
Resident Evil’s G-Virus was essentially a fusion of various T-Virus samples and the Nemesis parasite that were tested on Lisa Trevor over many years. The various T-Virus samples in her body caused her immune system to kill the Nemesis parasite and fuse with it, resulting in the accidental birth of the mighty G-Virus, which Umbrella removed from
Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2 , which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved.
Also, Resident Evil’s Las Plagas parasites were always viewed oddly to much of the Resident Evil community, given that they stood on their own with no known historical links to Umbrella and their virology research, until now. While it sounds as if the Nemesis Parasite took inspiration from the Las Plagas parasites as a blueprint or Underrated Nintendo Heroes model, is is perhaps not exactly the same as the parasite found in Resident Evil 4’s Gran
The market for Resident Evil remasters is provably profitable and less expensive to produce than a ground-up remake. To satisfy fans’ hunger for an updated Code Veronica experience, Capcom can release an « ultimate edition » of the game. Capcom could improve on the already enhanced visuals from the 2011 HD remaster, adding more detailed textures and character models while improving the frame-rate. And if this sells well, Capcom can finally get to work on the remake for next gen conso
Female characters parting with their hair has been a deliberate sign of growing maturity in media for decades, a changed appearance highlighting that women are willing to leave behind everything in service of something greater. Mulan is the most popular example, with the titular character cutting her gorgeous hair to join the army and assist her ignorant father. It’s the opposite of Zelda’s situation – instead of pulling herself away from the royal family, Mulan is doing everything she can to preserve it. But the core motivation remains the same: these are two women who realise a sacrifice must be made, even if it means altering their appearance and walking away from a life of security.
In the larger picture of the universe, Resident Evil’ s Umbrella , its research, and its past creations of bio-weaponry have usually played as the backbone of the series lore, history and dark world, even long after Umbrella shutdown. For example, after Resident Evil 4 , the next games, Resident Evil 5 and 6 , and even 7 to a degree, made Umbrella’s dark past relevant to the current crisis’ at hand in the ga
PlayStation’s Tim Turi did an interview with Resident Evil 3’s development staff regarding the Nemesis creature, and it was revealed that its new ability to infect zombies was the result of its relation to the Las Plagas-infected hosts known as the Ganado in Resident Evil 4 . « We wanted NE-a infected enemies [enemies infected by the Nemesis] to be visually similar to the Plagas-infected Ganados as a means for fans to piece together how Nemesis fits within the whole Resident Evil franchi
