Capcom's Resident Evil Showcase has been and gone and whilst we got a better look at Resident Evil 4 Remake, two words were missing from the presentation that some OG Resi fans are desperate to hear: Code Veronica.
At this point, you'd be forgiven for wondering if we'll ever see a remake of the fan-favorite classic, but Noisy Pixel was able to elicit a slim "maybe" in a recent interview with Resident Evil 4 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi.
Though insisting that his current focus remained on Resident Evil 4 remake, Hirabayashi did admit that if the “opportunity comes, maybe" we may get the Code Veronica remake so many still dream of.
A really good indication of just how much Resident Evil fans want a Code Veronica remake is the fact that a group of them are doing just that. As spotted by Hirun earlier this year, in January a group of dedicated fans announced they'd be remaking Code Veronica in the style of Resident Evil 2 and 3's remakes.
As for other Resident Evil news? Leon recently spent some time with the Resident Evil 4 remake and said "there is a surprising mix of completely new stuff and faithful reproduction in Resident Evil 4 that makes it really hard for me to get a read on how this remake is going to play out".
"I enjoyed the brief half hour I played, and seeing that world recreated in the RE Engine is a trip, but there's a lot to process, and how it will affect the whole game is hard to tell at this point," he wrote.
"I do wish Capcom had provided a longer, more substantial play-through to see how all these new ideas settle. I'm cautiously excited to see more and what I played was good – it's Resident Evil 4 in a shiny new engine. Although it's hard to tell if this is more in line with Resi 2's excellent rebirth, or Resi 3's slightly woolier return."
