PSN Tuesday: Rochard, Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD
The PSN-exclusive Rochard brings its particular brand of physics-based puzzles and ol' fashioned space mining to the PlayStation 3, including a 20% PlayStation Plus discount for the next two weeks. If what you're looking for is something that's actually old-fashioned, might we suggest Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD which, despite how fondly you remember the Dreamcast original, doesn't look as good as you remember it. Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list: (Note: Continue past the break to view both release lists.)
Code: Veronica X HD doesn't look as good as we remember
They say hindsight is 20/20, but apparently that doesn't apply to our fond memories of how amazing the graphics were on the Dreamcast. At least blasting zombies and mutant freaks to bits hasn't lost its charm.
Resident Evil 4 half off for super-fancy PS Plus members
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD hits PSN Tuesday, Sept. 27 and will be 50 percent off for PlayStation Plus members, or $9.99. Normal, plebeian PSN users can score Code Veronica X HD for $19.99, and everyone who buys it gets five free PSN avatars. Resident Evil 4 also launched with the same deal the previous Tuesday, meaning PS Plus members can score an easy two-for-one here. Gluttons.
PSA: Capcom wants to buy your Resident Evil stories at a fair price
Capcom wants to tell the world how much of a scaredy-cat sap you are, but since it doesn't have cameras installed in your consoles (yet) it needs your help. To celebrate HD versions of RE 4 and Code Veronica X hitting Xbox Live and PSN in September, Capcom is making a video series of its fans' most memorable moments and wants your best freak outs, sob stories and nostalgia bombs to share with the world. Send your stories to the games' official site in the form of text, videos, photos, shoebox diorama, or whatever twisted method you can concoct, for the chance to be featured in the video and win some mysterious prizes. If we were sentimental, we'd tell Capcom about our junior year, where every day after school we went to our best friend's house to play RE 4, fingers orange with Doritos residue, screaming and spilling Coke on the carpet whenever Leon ran into a bag-headed madman, then laughing for no good reason other than the knowledge that it was the best time of our young lives. If we were sentimental. If.
Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X HD assets slap some new on the old
The latest trailers and screenshots for Capcom's renovated, HD versions of Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X are a mixed bag. RE4 is looking moderately better with the HD spit-shine, but the somewhat more antiquated Veronica looks ... well, like a recently face-lifted grandma.
Resident Evil 4 HD and RE: Code Veronica X HD infect the US this September
Fresh news out of Comic-Con for zombie hunters and presidential-daughter-babysitting-simulator enthusiasts alike: the previously announced HD remakes of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X will be shambling and moaning onto US shores this September. RE4HD lands on September 20, with Code Veronica X HD's charmingly incomprehensible plot following a week later on September 27. That's a few weeks after the far superior Japanese launch, not that we're bitter or anything. Both titles will be available at your local brick & mortar, through the PlayStation Network and as Xbox Live Games On Demand titles.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD Achievements revealed
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...
