You've probably played Resident Evil: Code Veronica before. You might have played it on the Dreamcast, or the PS2. Heck, even the GameCube got in on the action. Those versions of the game, however, were all built on inferior technology and, this fall, Code Veronica X HD will raise the bar to a completely new level.
No, we're not talking about high definition visuals, we're talking about Achievements. Thanks to its status as a Games on Demand title, the Xbox 360 download of Code Veronica will receive the benefit of a full 1000 gamerscore. Most of the cheevos are story-driven, so it should be an easy bag of points.
Now, if only modern technology could do something about Steve...

HAH! Easy? Code Veronica is easily the HARDEST RE game I've played.

I think RE1 was the hardest if you played as Jill. Lol.

Cool, maybe now I'll actually have some sort of urge to finish it this time.

I didn't think it was all that bad. RE4 is def the first one i'm buying of those two titles though.

Weird they're not treating this like an arcade game? 1000 Points for so little amount of Achievements?

@LEGIONSINGULARGETHUNIT Its a games on demand game not XBLA.

I don't know, Weskers battle game was brutal, you get pretty good with the knife after repeated tries though. :D

I've probably played RECV to completion a dozen times over the years between the DC and PS2 ports. I'd be happy to play it again on the 360, but I want it on a disc, not as a download.

Then Capcom would lose out on money when you trade it in and it is re-sold. Lol.

Agreed I hope capcom changes their mind and releases it into retail.
Sucks they can't just do what they did with the RE 5 DLC and offer both as options.

Did anyone else have trouble running away from mutant Steve the first couple of times?
Posted: Jul 8th 2011 1:31PM Helghast102 said
@Punisher M1911 Yup.
That was a weird escape scene, most of the time I can do it, but it seems a little off.
I can fail it once, try again with the EXACT same method and finish it.

Once this hits my Xbox HDD then I can safely put away my Dreamcast:
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 - Check
Crazy Taxi - Check
Soul Calibur - Check
Sonic Adventure - Check
Resident Evil Code Veronica - Date? Check!
Too funny.
And when RE4 hits my Xbox HDD, I won't have a good reason to power on my Wii.

If you look at the new 15th anniversary RE collection that they announced earlier today it has the two games in a single package on the far left of the picture. So there's probably a chance they will release it as a stand alone collection on disc outside of the xbl/psn store too.

The retail at the moment is JPN only.
Hopefully they change that though, would much prefer getting them in physical form.

Not even leaping out of a window doing a full flip forward, brandishing weapons, and saving Claire could make Steve a bad ass.

Easy enough, will the PS3 version have a Platinum trophy to go along with these?

I prefer a Platinum Trophy than 1000 gamerscore. Seem more convenient.

Question for you,
The 15th anniversary pack that was advertised for japan, do you think that will come out in the uk an us on 360 including res 1-3,
i know they where on ps 1 but do you think they'll allow it, would love to play them.
such a travesty never got to play them as i never owned ps 1 :-(

Posted: Jul 8th 2011 4:07PM Hoops said
If both games come out at $15, that will probably tempt me to buy one of them and see if I play through it and want the other/wait for the sale. Love the 1000 gamerscore though, that will definately influence my purchase. And I really do need to finish RE4.
