Capcom should've gone with the Code Veronica Remake for now and kept the RE4 Remake for a later time when the RE Engine would've matured even more. And also distance itself a bit aesthetically from the recently released and also quite similar looking RE VIII.
Here's some reality check about current greedy Capcom : 1 - CVX will never get a remake and will never happen even if the demand is high 2 - The game got some touchy subjects for its time to fit in current day standards 3 - Greedy Capcom want them normies / casuals they NEVER cared about the fans EVER
if they cared they would have listened to the massive demand for an HD remaster for Outbreak , fans been asking for this for a long time and to this day nothing happened
I know sadly there are going to destroy re4 by making this remake in my opinion and there Is nothing we can do all we can do is ask capcom for that code Veronica remake.
Code Veronica was really good, would have enjoyed that being revisited more than RE4 if I'm being honest. Alfred Ashford's laugh in 4k supported by the RE Engine, damn right, sign me up. Although I fear because of all the modern day drama over any little thing his character would likely be changed as to not offend any one.
This is what I was thinking too. The backstory and actions of that character might be perceived as an attack, which is dumb. Who is to say a cross dresser can't be a villain?
I just think Code V deserves a remake because it has easily aged worse than the other games (though still very good). There are parts of it that are very spooky and imagine if they leaned harder towards the moodiness of some of the settings over the campiness of the acting.
He went crazy and cross dressed as her so I don’t know how they’d do that
Although I mean Psycho is still a much loved horror film and he dressed up as his mother in that so as long as they don’t say anything bad or outdated they could still do it.
That was truly my favorite Resident Evil game! Code Veronica love ❤️ that game on the Dreamcast! But as a refresher, what was so offensive about Alfred Ashford? It’s Been so long since I played that game during the early 2000s.
Nothing, really. Claire calls him a “crossdressing freak” and, TBH, that is the only line that would need to be rewritten to avoid some sort of misunderstanding. Alfred himself having psychological issues trying to emulate his sister would be mostly fine, IMO.
That’s what I wish they did from the beginning. I think this one will be one of the least interesting Remakes unless they do some radical changes but make it still feel like a full game.
The only reason I find the decision to skip it in favour of RE4 is that, at least development wise, CV was always thought of as the 'true' RE3 - I'm not knocking Nemesis at all though, it was always my favourite of the original classics. Hopefully we get a Code Veronica remake shortly after 4 is released, like how 3 was pushed through quickly using 2's assets.
Yeah, CV was originally RE3 and RE3: Nemesis was originally Resident Evil: Nemesis, a spinoff game from RE2 if I remember right. Sony pointed out to Capcom that they had signed a deal for three mainline Resident Evil games on the Playstation so Capcom was forced to change the names.
I don't know why they skipped it though and it would be weird to go back to it now. It takes place before RE4. I hope they do go back to it though. Steve really needs the remake treatment.
Misconception. RECV was always intended to be RECV, it was conceived and developed by an external team, and 3 was always 3, conceived and developed by Capcom (but it was originally about Hunk).
I rather get the code Veronica remake wayyy before re4 remake in my opinion.

It should of been Code Veronica anyway, how many ports of RE4 has there been? I’m tired of seeing the game at this point.
They should. For its time, the scope and story of this game were epic.
