Resident Evil: Veronica Trailer

I'm definitely in. I get the feeling this remake will probably be the most different from the original than any we've seen so far (minus 3 which was different only in bad ways).

CV was a great game but it was sort of "all over the place" for lack of a better phrase. There's a lot you could do to make it a more complete and cohesive experience.

I also think they'll add a chapter of Claire actually in the Umbrella facility in Paris. In the original her breaking in and getting arrested is a cutscene when that really could be the opening act of the game. There's also some major tonal insanity you can clean up. Yes, I'm talking about you Steve.

And anyone denying the stark differences between how Western devs approach their female characters vs. Eastern is purposefully putting their heads in the sand.

Western Devs are obssesd with making their female protagonists haggard and slightly masculine in their facial features. Eastern devs make their female characters far more feminine and beautiful, even without having to "sexualize" them.

Looks like cheap nostalgia bait

Give me a new RE game that isn’t afraid to take risks like RE7, even if that means having to wait 5 years for another game. The RE remake schtick with Capcom is starting to get old.

I'm kind of done with the remakes to be honest. It was cool back in 2019 because it was a fresh concept and Capcom hadn't done anything like it in nearly 20 years since the REmake, but now it just feels like they're milking it to death.

I really wish Capcom would be more open to taking huge risks like they did with RE7. None of the games they've made afterwards have been as different and unique in terms of the setting and gameplay style.

Just saying I told yall this was coming. Also can’t wait since Claire is my favorite character in the RE verse. It says spring it’s going to drop on one of the last days of February in line with their earnings

Code Veronica was one of my least liked RE games. I thought it was incredibly poorly made and extremely frustrating without a guide. All of the remakes so far have been spectacular though so im hoping that continues with this one

Well, I don't think this will be an issue at all, modern Capcom has really gone to extra lengths, probably even overboard to make sure nobody is ever lost. The games make it very clear where you should be going and what yous hould be doing at all times. That certainly won't change with this remake.

Older games were usually shorter anyway so spending some time wandering around figuing stuff out was part of hte experience, games like original RE1 and 2 for example, but these days unless the game is built around adventure and discover in this day and age a player not knowing exactly what to do at all times is considered a major problem that needs fixing, which is why you end up with that yellow paint on f'ing everything.

Alfred isn't even strictly "trans" in the game. He's more like a Norman Bates from Psycho type, can't cope with the loss of a loved one so pretends to be them as a coping mechanism, more like schizophrenia than gender confusion.

Regardless, I strongly get the feeling they cut that angle entirely out. Alfred pretending to be Alexia and what not. They could achieve the same effect by him having like a home made mannequin of her he parades around and talks to. The odds him being so over the top foppish is also quite low. Capcom is unfortunately woke-light these days. They don't explicitly pander tot he woke crowd which is good but they still very obviously tip toe around them.

Well they took the sex humor out of the re4 remake which was annoying to me

Leon’s wife; or who he ended up marrying is going to be part of the RE9 DLC and who it is has already leaked with concept art available for confirmation for those who want to know.

I went through the Veronica trailer frame by frame and there are definitely very covert hints to who it is.

Data miners have found a fully rigged playable model of Alyssa Ashcroft in the games filss which makes it likely she will be playable in some form in the DLC, but she isn’t his wife.

Also on another note I really like what little characterization of Chris we get from this trailer, which is basically just the type of room he was in while looking for umbrella and going over documents. There’s cigs all over the table and ash trays and dumb bells on the floor, this harkens back to how Chris was initially conceptualized in RE1 with Solid Snake being the creators initial idea as a comp for him
