The debate over which of the two Resident Evil games is better, CODE Veronica or 0, has been a hot topic among fans of the series. Some player believes that CODE Veronica is the superior game, citing its story, environments, and gameplay as reasons why. However, they do acknowledge that RE0 has its own merits, such as its inventory system and beautiful locations. In the end, it comes down to personal preference. So which one do you think is better? Personally, I would say CV is better.
The differences between Resident Evil: CODE Veronica and Resident Evil 0
There are many differences between the two Resident Evil games, CODE Veronica and Zero.
There are a few key reasons why Resident Evil Code Veronica is superior to RE:0. Firstly, as a direct sequel to RE2, it features a much more interesting story and richer lore that ties it nicely into the Resident Evil universe. Secondly, the gameplay is significantly longer, around 5–8 hours, compared to RE:0’s shorter length, the longer gameplay allowing for more exploration and discovery. Thirdly, the classic RE gameplay is more enjoyable. Finally, the boss battles in Code Veronica are simply more exciting and challenging.
However, there are some downsides to Code Veronica. The inventory system can be very frustrating. Additionally, the puzzles are not particularly challenging or interesting.
If you’re just getting into the series, it’s recommended that you play through the HD remakes of Resident Evil 1 and 2 before moving on to 0 and Code Veronica. This will give you a good feel for the series as a whole.
As for which game to play first, it really depends on your preferences. If you want a more traditional Resident Evil experience, go with Code Veronica. However, if you’re looking for something a bit different, go with 0. Just keep in mind that you may need to do multiple playthroughs of each game to see everything, as there are often multiple endings.
Things to look out for while playing Resident Evil 0 or Resident Evil Code Veronica
In Resident Evil 0, there are several scenes that can be easily missed if the player is not careful. In the first part of the game, it is essential to kill the first three zombies instead of simply running away. Additionally, during the countdown in the first location, the player must make their way to the “other end” in order to progress.
Code Veronica does not have any particularly interesting scenes that can be missed. However, there are a few tips that players should be aware of. For example, there are only three green grenade rounds in the entire game. Thus, it is important to pay attention to the name and keep them in the item box. Additionally, late in the game, there will be a point where players may wish they had managed their inventory better. If this occurs, players should not hesitate to load the last save and try again.
