Literally can't see any difference; it still even has that annoying blur effect too. Just wish they could of at least redone the REmake or RE0 instead.

I really didn't like Code Veronica very much, but I'll be buying it just to support Capcom bringing back older RE games in the hopes of one day getting an Outbreak collection.

would have liked that much more. REmake looks pretty great on the GC but if they had those environments in proper HD, that'd make for a pretty crazy release.

This game is very good as far as I remember. Unfortunately those graphics have aged poorly and indeed appear to not have been improved at all really. Shame.

Not having played this at the time, this vid isn't really peaking my interest. Unfortunately I'm damaged by the evolution this kind of games has gone through - and it would need a complete overhaul of the game for me to care.

And at that point I might as well play a new ass game.

Code Veronica is probably my least favorite Resident Evil game. Seriously, wouldn't REmake or RE0 upscale to HD far more nicely?

Nah, only the original Resident Evil (and its remake) featured sharks... the first Outbreak games had them as well, though no monstrous, genuinely terrifying Neptune's in there.

It allowed for a more cinematic experience, as well to purposely hide away zombies or upcoming jump scares too. What I don't understand is why people were against them so much. They were a great help in setting the atmosphere and contributed to making the games appear like you were playing through a movie.

They are showing the worst parts of the game. Why are they showing the worst parts of the game? The game wasn't all that good in the first place!

My prediction is that with 'Operation Raccoon City' set in that timeline and both these games being released together RE6 will be a return to the Leon/Claire storylines which I'm down with! RE2 is still the highest selling in the series so it definitely makes sense.

Ech, I thought I had forgotten the clunky ass tank controls. Now, if capcom wanted to put out a Dino crisis game in HD, then we're talking.

I appreciate the idea of updating old games as much as the next guy, but what the blue fuzz is this?  Graphics don't look HD at all. And the trailer was a half-hearted slap in the face as well.

If Capcom insists on remaking everything, because they simply have no new IPs worth a shit..  
 
The least they can do, is give it a total overhaul to include an updated control system like RE4.

Umm... i take back my comment on the RE4 video.... I don't want this. Not because this is laughable HD, but because I refuse to play any games with these tank controls. That doesn't seem to have changed by the way the video goes.

These have to be the laziest "HD remakes" I've ever seen. Just one more thing to make Capcom look bad.

Looks the same as my Dreamcast version via VGA. Great game, still looks pretty decent even today.

Complain about tank controls all you want, people still cite Resident Evil 2 as the best game and guess what? That had tank controls. The older games can be forgiven for the now outdated controls, 5...not so much.
 
and I would like to know how it's laughable HD, it's probably been given a resolution bump to 720P so it's still HD. Yeah it's still using the same old textures and assets but I don't think anybody expected different, this has never been said to be a full remake so people really shouldn't moan.

Alan Wake doesn't run at a HD resolution. I would be interested to know if you consider that a HD game as it still looks better than the majority of Xbox 360 titles.  
 
Such a dumb argument. If I launch Half-Life right now, the first one and set it to 1920x1080 I am technically playing that game in HD.

I actually miss tank controls and fixed camera angles. Watching this gave me the urge to play re1-3.

One of the best Resident Evil games, IMO, but this is absolutely not worth 20 dollars.

This is one half-assed HD conversion, at least with RE 4 I can cut it some slack, because the game itself is amazing and worth replaying. CVX is neither amazing and I'm doubting worth replaying.
