In just three short years, RE Code Veronica dropped a whopping 32 (THIRTY TWO!) points to fall from an extremely impressive 94 on Metacritic (timeless generational classic tier) to a disappointing and mediocre 62 (forgettable shovelware tier).What could possibly have happened to cause such an extreme change in public reception?
>>12600114Onions consumption jumped pretty dramatically between the two.
Low effort port, the game is still good.
CV's graphics were seen as amazing in 2000 because the Dreamcast was new and the PS2 hadn't come out yet. In 2003 not so much and the port made it look worse than it was originally.The other reason is that survival horror was still hot in 2000 but that changed almost overnight once PS2/GC/XBOX consoles came out. It turned from one of the best selling genre to a niche in just a couple years.tl;dr when the game came out people were blinded by shiny graphics and a trending genre.
>>12600141Why do critics care so much about graphics? Graphics should only be part of a game, not singlehandedly carrying it into masterpiece status.I never got the hype around graphics then or now. I can genuinely hop from a modern cutting-edge game to a PS2 game to a NES game to an N64 game and I don't care at all. I care so, SO much more about artstyle and design rather than the graphical tech. But I know so many people who act like they are unable to play even 7th gen games because they are too ugly or something
>>12600158It was the early days of 3D gaming. The jump in graphics from fifth to sixth gen was way more impressive than graphics now. Seeing SoulCalibur on Dreamcast for the first time was amazing.
>>12600176I don't believe it. I played both 3D games and 2D games (mainly on handheld) as a kid and thought nothing of it. I only remember only one game ever having graphics that impressed me, and it didn't make me just think it was the greatest game ever or something, it was just a nice bonus. Clearly these critics don't care about the medium itsself, the actual gameplay, the challenge, the experience, the story, the immersion. They sound more like techies that just happen to play some games.
>>12600183CVX came out after REmake on Gamecube and they charged $40 new for it.
>>12600183>>12600202Speaking of REmake, the graphics were astounding at the time, especially considering it had only been six years since RE1 came out.
>>12600114Sega cultists and the faggots who were tricked into buying Dreamscat deluded themselves into believing this slop was goodbut normal people who owned the PS2 saw CV for what it is, a pile of shit completely inferior to the PS1 trilogy
>>12600114it is a 6/10 game though
Another shitty /vr/ thread by a retarded OP. It never ends.
>>12600114I haven't read the reviews, but did it get negative remarks on the core gameplay, or more critiquing the added features/changes, and whether or not they made it a worthy re-release, especially for people who had the original? Just like people will gladly shit on remastered Bluray releases of classic films, not because they dislike the film, but because the remastering was poorly done or they didn't include enough bonus features to justify the release. People shat on the Wii release of SMAS, because it was a lazy cashgrab, not because SMAS is inherently bad.
>>1260011494 is too high. 63 is too low. They're both wrong. /thread
>>12600473Surely the janny will save nu/vr/
>>12600256you sound salty that the best resident evil games were on sega and nintendo hardware
>>12600481It got rated lower because it came out like 3 or 4 years after the Dreamcast version and the only changes was censorship. Iirc it had less gore. It's just a shitty cash grab port. This thread is garbage.
>>12600114You should go to the CV wiki article and read some of the archived reviews from back in 2000 it links to. They're full of fanboys hyping this game to high heaven. I don't even think it's really a bad game but they talk it up like it was a once in a lifetime masterpiece that completely changed the landscape of games.
>>12600716but Dead Aim is Sony exlusive
>>12600731Dreamcast was censored, Gamecube version didn't censor anything additional dumbass
>>12600158critics dont like videogames. Their only goal is to try and make videogames as valid as movies in order to cope with their inability to become movie critics. The main way to do that is shill as much movie / hyperrealism graphics slop as possible.
>>12600158Graphics developed insanely fast in the 1990s, and it made a lot of people feel entitled to constant advancement, it was an era of graphics whoring.
