This year's Summer Game Fest stream opened with a good amount of applause for Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of Dreamcast game Resident Evil — Code: Veronica.
Code Veronica is especially ripe remake material since it's notoriously easy to inadvertently softlock yourself in the original. The series hadn't quite undergone its mid-aughts action-movie reinvention (though this is arguably where that direction started to emerge, what with the John Woo-inspired CG opening), so you were still grappling with awkward tank controls and at the mercy of brutal encounters that really stung if you hadn't conserved your ammo and ink ribbons—the only way to save your game.
