As the saying goes, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. That’s what a group of fans have decided to do after Capcom has apparently overlooked doing a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica in favour of Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil — Code: Veronica Remake has been in the works for a while now, with recent news coming out that the game will have its first chapter released for free next month for PC. The project is also hoping for a console release, as well. How this will fly with Capcom remains to be seen, although as we saw with Daymare: 1998 (which was originally a fan-led remake of Resident Evil 2), Capcom might be cool with it.
The team behind Code: Veronica Remake is aiming to reimagine and adapt the game for modern audiences, similar to how Capcom reworked the classic formula with Resident Evil 2, “so you can relive the events of Rockfort Island in a whole new way.”
The title will consist of two modes: Classic and Remake. Remake mode will sport a third-person camera and “faithful but expanded scenarios”, while Classic mode will have the original fixed camera and “scenarios recreated and faithful to the original.”
One would think that with fans taking it upon themselves to remake or create “spiritual successors” to games like Code: Veronica or Dino Crisis that Capcom would catch on and do something themselves, but who knows? Maybe they have something in store later this year?
