A reimagining of Resident Evil’s black sheep entry could be a much-needed revitalization.

So I haven't played Code: Veronica, but I'm slightly confused by the idea that its story was uniquely weak or goofy. I just played the first Resident Evil this year for the first time, and the story in that one rests on the idea that

spoilerWesker is a highly trained special agent AND a genius bioweapon researcher, and he intentionally brought his team of special agents to his secret bioweapon research lab thinking he could get rid of them.

Jill's backstory is that she's ex-special forces but she's barely even old enough to be a special forces operative. There are classic lines like "You were almost a Jill sandwich!"

How much goofier could Code: Veronica possibly be?

    I think most of the hate is like hate for nearly any new game in any series. Just people wanting to hate the new and glorify the old. Of course after its no longer the new and is quite old, its then held up as a hidden gem or some shit.
