"If you absolutely have to get a downloadable Resident Evil fix, get Resident Evil 4 HD instead. It holds up markedly better in every conceivable way and looks pretty good in high definition."

I don't agree with him there, tbh. It's true that RE4 did a lot of things better than previous RE games, but there are plenty of things that previous games did better than RE4.

I'd argue that Code Veronica had a better plot (it actually involved Umbrella, STARS and even the silly Ashford stuff was pretty fun) and better scares (being cornered in the plane by that damn Tyrant still freaks me out). The lack of ammo and the fact that it was a "true" survival-horror game are also pluses, imo. And I liked that it revolved around Chris and Claire working together to take down Umbrella's Antarctic base.

And I also think despite the dated graphics, Code Veronica is an overall better HD update. The dynamic lighting looks great and the graphics (particularly character models) aren't quite as jagged and fuzzy as RE4 HD. It looks like Capcom spent more time with updating Code Veronica HD than they did with RE4 HD.

Castlevania and Resident Evil are always good

How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.

I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

John_McClane1344d ago

Getting rid of the gold paywall entirely works for me.

@John_McClane
I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.

I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.

I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.

I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?

Yui_Suzumiya1344d ago

Yeah, it had an HD remaster during the PS3 / 360 era

babadivad1344d ago

Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.

Resident Evil and Castlevania crossover Video game and Anime series confirmed!

VersusDMC1344d ago

Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.

This is absolutely amazing! To this day Lost Planet is still my all time favorite online game. Love the Lost planet franchise!

ActualWhiteMan2294d ago

Glad I kept this one. Great game, very underrated.

Movefasta19932294d ago

lost planet 1 and 2 are gems imo

spicelicka2294d ago

2 is the one with 4 player co-op right? That was amazing! Being able to fight giant monsters in co-op was so awesome. It was like Monster hunter with guns.

Movefasta19932293d ago
