CAPCOM have been working hard on the Resident Evil franchise this year in the form of Mercenaries & Revelations for the 3DS and Operation Raccoon City for PS3/Xbox 360. Further to this, they have decided to spruce up to classic Resi games, the ground breaking Resident Evil 4 & the seminal Code Veronica X. Both games have been given a high definition update and will be available through the PSN or Xbox Live for around the £20 mark. Resident Evil: Code Veronica X is the iconic Dreamcast game that saw Claire Redfield hunting through Umbrella’s research facilities on the search for her brother, Chris. The game was developed at the same time as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and as such has the same formula in terms of presentation. However it is the first game in the series that was released on a non-Sony console.
Resident Evil 4 sees the return of Leon S. Kennedy investigating the kidnapping of the US presents daughter. Heading to a village in rural Europe, Leon quickly realises things are not exactly how they seem. The game was a completely different change of pace for the series, as the game used an over the shoulder camera view point instead of the original fixed camera views that fans were used to. This camera shift also gave Resident Evil 4 more of an action vibe rather than the traditional horror one.
Resident Evil 4 will be avaialable to download on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live’s Games on Demand 20th Sept. Resident Evil: Code Veronica X will be released 27th Sept and HD screens can be found below:
