[edit] Development

"Prior to the game's release, series' creator and producer Shinji Mikami was quoted stating that he wanted to retain the numeral progression for Resident Evil sequels debuting on PlayStation platforms, while installments debuting on other platforms would bear subtitles instead (note that this was prior to Mikami's decision to market the series to the GameCube exlusively)."

This is going to need a source as Mikami has said numerous times in interviews that the game was renamed from RE3 to CV not many months before release by Capcom despite his protests. It wasn't his decision. Parjay 20:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I got that info from this early IGN preview of the game. I've tried to find an interview about Mikami's supposed intentions to name it Resident Evil 3, but couldn't find one. Jonny2x4 21:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I should have it saved somewhere with the original link. It's an interview with himself and Hiroyuki Kobayashi, it should be available on the net as many people are talking about it across the www. The problem I have with the "source" you have provided is that it's just an article saying "Mikami did this", without an actual quote as such. He talks about the same thing in the book "Another Side of Biohazard": "we made RE1.9 to get back to the basic RE idea but that game changed its name to RE3, 3months before release. I still don't want to call the game RE3." Parjay 21:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I've seen the translated version of the "Another Side" interview from REHorror, but it only mentions the RE1.9 thing. Mikami only says in that interview that Code: Veronica is the only sequel to retain the horror atmosphere of the first game (as opposed to RE2 and RE3, which were more action/sci-fi oriented) and mentions that for him RECV is the true RE2 for him. Jonny2x4 22:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeh it's in his other interviews. The point of that one, however, was to illustrate that Nemesis only became "RE3", three months before release. CV was in production even before RE Nemesis was announced either at all nor as 1.9 or 2.1, while CV was developed as RE3 up until those three months; hence his reluctance to even call Nemesis 3 to this day.

I'm well aware RECV was in production before RE3, but was Code: Veronica ever officially referred by Capcom as Resident Evil 3 publically? Since the game's official unveilment in late 1998, it wasn't called anything but Code: Veronica. Jonny2x4 23:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

What's wrong with the plot summary we have right now? It does its job summarizing the game's entire story in less than three or four paragraphs without resorting to describe every diminuitive detail.Jonny2x4 21:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wesker's Report

Surely having an entire transcript of Wesker's Report is not only unnecessary, but a copyright violation? Rhindle The Red 14:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Was Wesker's Report really released in PAL regions? I'm browsing used copies in auction sites, but they all come bundled with the Devil May Cry demo, no one mentiones the Wesker's Report DVD. --Mika1h 12:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Wesker's Report came free with Code Veronica X in the U.K. Pal version. Not sure about Europe. Devil May Cry demo came free with X as well, a second disc in the box. WR had its own separate dvd case. Parjay 14:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OST section and question

I think there should be a listing of the OST for RECVX and btw, who was the artist behind that soundtrack? - RVDDP2501 19:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Resident Evil Code Veronica

Under reception, it says "suck my balls", I have never played this game or read any reviews, so can someone please redo that or delete it or something.

[edit] What happened to Reception?

Its just..gone. GuardianFayt 02:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there ever was one. A vandal added the reception section with the content: "suck my balls". Someone reverted the comment, but left the reception section. Parjay 19:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I added in all the reception information. Revrant 22:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
