I was on gamestop.com and ebgames.com the past few days and they have now both listed the ship date for Code Veronica on GC november 11th. I checked capcom's site and now they say the game is coming in november. I can pretty much assume at this point that it has been pushed back, but i was wondering if anyone has heard why or anything official yet? This game has been pushed back time and time again, which is interesting since its a straight port and all.

Maybe it's not just a straight port, considering how bad RE2 and RE3 sold. Maybe Capcom is putting some extra exclusives in RE:CV. I can always hope this is true.

Yea RE 2 and RE 3 sold on cult status due to that outrageous price, capcom should of made them atleast 19 - 24 US dollars

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #3 on:** October 27, 2003, 04:44:13 PM »

I would be more than willing to buy RE2 and 3 if they were priced reasonably. But I am perfectly willing to buy CVX if it's at full price. The problem is that Capcom KEEPS PUSHING IT BACK!!!! ARRRGHHH!!!

I ask time and time again and it seems people can't give a straight answer: What are the differences between Code Veronica on Dreamcast and the upcoming Code Veronica X? Is it getting some sort of treatment akin to RE 1, are there extra scenes, weapons, what what what's the difference? Did the PS2 version look better? It seems people keep mum when I ask this question.

Maybe they're doing this small delay to give the people at Quality Assurance the time to crank out a polished product. I for one will buy it regardless, and will find the DC ports RE 2 and 3 in the meantime...

Anyword on the MeGaToN announcement Capcom's supposed to make about the future of the RE series?

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #5 on:** October 27, 2003, 05:32:11 PM »

I heard that the PS2 version was actually only slightly better than the DC counterpart in terms of graphics, because Capcom had a great deal of trouble getting the PS2 to perform as good as the DC.

The GCN version is a port of the PS2 version, but I expect the graphics to be slightly improved, and with all the extras of the PS2 version, and it had better damned well include Wesker's Report. If you want to know ALL the details, I think IGN reviewed the Japanese version a while ago. Which leads me to my next point.

This delay is pretty much unexplained, as Code Veronica X is already out in Japan.

As for the future of Capcom's Resident Evil games, they are going to make Resident Evil 4 then go from there.

I don't know where people got this "Capcom will reveal the future of RE," because it's not true...They are only revealing a new game...Which will most likely be a spinoff...*yuck!*

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #7 on:** October 28, 2003, 07:12:10 AM »

But you must remember, Grey. Just because it's out in Japan doesn't mean anything. Mertroid Prime was delayed for Europe and when it was released it had features that the NA version did not have. So it is conceivable that the NA version of REC: VX will be somewhat different than the Japanese version. Also same as with Final Fantasy X, Europe got the Japanese re-release where as NA just got the regular translated version.

Wasn't the Japanese ReRelease the US Version translated back into Japanese?

Well, Im waiting whats difference between PS2 and GCN version of code veronica, if there is no bonus I might as well get the PS2 version hence its cheaper.

Myxtika1 Azn · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2003, 02:41:14 PM »

From what I can remember, the only difference between the PS2 and DC version is that there's a new 5-10 sec cut-scene involving Wesker and Alexia.

From what I've heard, the GC one will be a port of the PS2 one and will also include all of the "Wesker's Report" files.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, but it will look SO GOOD one day, when you have Resident Evil 0 - 4 lined up, and all for GameCube.

Besides, I almost guarantee you that the GCN version will be somewhat better. Take Resident Evil 2 & 3 for example. They didn't upgrade the game at all from the DC version, but they gave us DVD quality FMV for the first time in those games.

I don't know. Might be, I just don't know.

And Grey, I agree with the whole lining up of 0-4. I have RE2 on N64, but I got the GCN version just so I could have the all of the series.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2003, 04:42:36 PM »

Yes having the whole series on one console is tempting screw the PS2 version then ill just save up money and have the series YAY

Djunknown · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2003, 07:45:33 PM »

While its tempting for me to just line the entire (main) series on the 'Cube, I can't, in my sane mind pay 35-40 dollars for nearly straight up ports. And correct me if I'm wrong, Capcom originally promised those two at the value price of 19.99. Whether Nintendo intervened or Capcom decided to get a little greedy, I'll probably never know.

Grey Ninja: Thanks for info. At least SOMEBODY to answered my question. Now if I can find some spoiler free info as I'm probably one of the few who have to go through 2,3, and Veronica. Oh well, might as well keep my eyes closed when they pop up...

StRaNgE · « **Reply #15 on:** October 29, 2003, 07:56:23 PM »

2 and 3 are no longer 39.99 they have dropped the price finally.

they are going for 29.99 new at gamestop

CreedDBZ · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2003, 03:09:24 AM »

This is getting crazy, now the game has been pushed back to December 2nd. What is Capcom doing? They better be adding some sort of bonus material because there is no reason a port should keep getting pushed back!!!

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2003, 09:16:48 AM »

well, maybe they are getting it out of the line of fire of higher profile games, but then again December will have it's own high profile games so I dont know. Hope the delay is good news for the game.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2003, 09:42:34 AM »

Bah, the month wouldn't have been packed if I didn't have to get games from this month with the addition of 1080...

Berny · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2003, 10:26:59 AM »

They delayed it because they are adding a "Life is Evil" music video. It's gorier than Al himself. Li'l childrens are not recommended; when you scream like that lady from the birds and they don't get it, they can tell all your friends what a scardy thing you are. Stupid kids...
