Resident Evil Veronica clarifies Claire’s role and drops the Code

Resident Evil Veronica continues to be one of Capcom’s biggest horror stories after Summer Game Fest, and today’s producer comments help explain the remake’s direction. The “Code” has been dropped from the title, which may annoy purists for about five minutes before everyone gets back to worrying about Claire Redfield surviving another nightmare. The more important point is that Capcom appears to be treating Claire as central to the remake’s identity rather than simply updating an old subtitle.

The original Code: Veronica occupies a strange but important place in Resident Evil history, and a remake has to make that importance obvious to modern players. Capcom’s recent remake team has earned trust, but Veronica is still risky. It is weird, dramatic and deeply tied to franchise lore.

Good. Resident Evil is often best when family trauma gets impractically large.
