While not part of the main series, technically, Resident Evil: Code Veronica might as well be considered part of the overall inclusion, given its deep story and fairly strong integration into the main chronology of the series’ lore and plot. Code Veronica presented one of the most unique and complex storylines in the Resident Evil series, which gave a ton of insight into another one of Umbrella Corporation’s founders, Edward Ashford, and his family lineage. Code Veronica took players on a grand adventure that spanned Umbrella’s Rockfort Prison island, all the way to their secret Antarctic facil
The underwater city of Rapture is such an iconic setting that it’s hard to imagine BioShock being set anywhere else. However, original plans for the game had it set on a space station infested with mutated monsters, with players sent to rescue someone from a c
Additionally, there was a major change to Resident Evil 2’s Plant 43 villain in the Remake, which is worth noting here. In reviewing all the enemies that were removed or did not make it to the final cut of this game, perhaps there is a chance that some appear in the upcoming Resident Evil 3 Rem
Finally, the concept art (above bottom) also shows some sort of mutated humanoid in a wheel chair wearing a lab coat. In the picture, the humanoid is wearing a lab coat, suggesting he was probably an Umbrella employee that had undergone experiments on himself, possibly. it also shows him pressing buttons on the remote control for his electric wheel chair, suggesting that he has retained some of his former intellige
Additionally, Resident Evil 3 lacks build-up and most of the time it feels like the game expects that its already players know Resident Evil 3’s story and characters from the original game. Moreover, every encounter with Nemesis is scripted , which takes away the element of surprise similar to Resident Evil 2’s Mr. X, and while Nemesis is definitely more terrifying than the original, his appearances are mostly predicta
Another enemy from the original Resident Evil 2, which was left out of its remake, was the Giant Spider. In the case of Resident Evil 2 , these were not actually experiments created by Umbrella, but the natural result of spiders that had been accidentally infected by the T-Virus when Dr. Birkin caused its release into the underground sewers. They could be found in the sewers below Raccoon City during the break
A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it’s disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad’s death more meaningful as compared to the original g
Starting with the new Amiibo Release enemy type that was cut from the game, and neither was it ever in the original, is the Condemned (above right). It is a humanoid enemy type, and its concept art can be unlocked within the game by finishing the Genius Chemist record, which is achieved by completing the puzzle in the Drug Testing Lab in a total of 9 moves in Leon or Claire’s st
Considering that the most recent remake in the series is 2020’s Resident Evil 3 , it’d make sense that the following remake should be the next numbered title in the series. There’s no need to confuse casuals with a non-numerical cult classic, especially when they can dive into something easily recognizable with proven commercial and critical succ
The 2010s saw a resurgence in zombie popularity, largely due to AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead . In 2020, zombies are still a highly relevant antagonist in pop culture, whether it’s TV or video games. Zombies definitely aren’t going away anytime soon when it comes to the entertainment industry, so why should they go away in the next RE rem
Finally, the original Plant 43 was not included in the Resident Evil 2 Remake , at least not in its original form. In the original game, Plant 43 was a humanoid-shaped plant-like creature about the size of a human, which attacks the player in the corridors of Umbrella’s underground lab beneath Raccoon C
The T-Virus infected crows were also not in the remake. In the original Resident Evil 2, crows looked like normal birds, albeit they were slightly larger in size and were aggressive towards the player. They became infected by the T-Virus by consuming other animals infected with it, such as insects or meat from corp
Seeing a modern retake of Code Veronica and its unique settings and deep storytelling would certainly be a welcome addition to Capcom’s Resident Evil Remakes. Capcom may already be testing the waters, considering Code Veronica was ported to the P
