The announcement that a Resident Evil 4 remake has reignited interest for a Code Veronica remake among fans.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Those that made it onto the Shortlist below are each special in their own way. Alan Wake 2, a long time in the making, dazzled players with its cutting-edge graphics and brilliant narrative. Baldur's Gate III wowed critics and consumers alike with an amazing cast of characters and dizzying gameplay freedom. Final Fantasy XVI impressed with its beautiful cut-scenes and fresh take on action combat. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a game under the shadow of impossibly high expectations, invigorated its audience with endless opportunities for experimentation. And Resident Evil 4 riffed on an 18-year-old formula, in some instances improving on one of the best games of all time."
Give me some exact reasons why it is overrated. I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours first.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "As the average game script balloons in dialogue there's greater demand for marquee acting talent. And as illustrated by both good & poor examples from 2023, sympathizing with a protagonist's struggle greatly relies on both the writing and delivery. This is emphasized in two unique ways by this year's shortlist: the addition of a voice fundamentally altering Dead Space remake's story beats & the dual protagonist structure in Alan Wake II. A fumble in either of those respects would've resulted in lesser works; fortunately, they're among some of the year's most celebrated titles."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "2023 was a notable year for VR hardware, with both Sony's PSVR2 and Meta's Meta Quest 3 arriving on the scene. Both of them have primarily earned a considerable amount of praise for their technological advancements, but that's not to say their software output was extinct. Granted, early adoption tends to favor older ports with improved visuals and new controller/headset gimmicks; it comes with the territory. But within that flow of ports and updates came an exclusive for each respective platform reaching our shortlist. It's too early to tell if that presages a bountiful surplus of future masterclass VR games, but it's a welcoming sign all the same."
“Horizon Call of the Mountain” had more bells and whistles and has some wow moments for VR newbies. But I had more fun playing “Synapse”.
I rather get the code Veronica remake wayyy before re4 remake in my opinion.
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.
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.
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.
