I think this is known trivia that originally Code Veronica was supposed to actually be Resident Evil 3, mas Capcom had a deal with Sony that ended up making the Side game become the main line with Last Escape ( Resident Evil 3).



So with that in mind, let's talk about remakes.



Resident Evil 3 is more actiony, but very much in tune with RE2. i Would compare Resident Evil 3 closer to a Dino Crisis, but not Dino Crisis 2. It's more action, it's a shorter burst of gameplay, but it is still the classic series.



Code veronica on the other hand, is a bigger game. More heavily focused on the original established feel of the series and it's quite obviously the half step between RE 2 and RE 4. Way more than RE 3 actually is...



So, remaking RE3 is a cheaper project. No doubt about it. Game is short, you can reuse a ton of materials from RE2 remake into it and it's just an overall faster project to complete after RE2 remake.



Code veronica on the other hand, hasn't received a whole lot of love like the other games in the franchise and even though it's a bigger, more expensive project to make... i think it would bring a bigger "pop" out of the audience.



So, what would the correct call here? Revamp RE 3 and make it a bigger game out of the remake? Make it DLC down the line for RE2 Remake? Focus on Code Veronica?
