Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Gold Edition Grotesque Version

Just like (well, not just like) the original 2000 game, Resident Evil: Veronica will be played from a third-person perspective. The news was shared with GameSpot during a group Q&A session at Summer Game Fest, which is also where Capcom officially announced the game to the public. The original Resident Evil: Code Veronica was also played in third-person--just like most of the older Resident Evil games--but it utilized the clunkier "tank" controls of the PlayStation originals. For Resident Evil: Veronica, GameSpot was told the closest gameplay corollary would be the Resident Evil 2 remake.

Capcom reveals new details about Resident Evil Veronica, including the fate of Claire, Steve Burnside, and first-person camera view.

Zach Cregger is known for gore galore with his horror/thriller movies Weapons and Barbarian, but his new Resident Evil movie is "definitely the most violent" thing he's ever made. He told this to Empire, saying, "You gotta go grotesque" and "all the way" in terms of violence. "So it's gnarly. It's brutal. A very bloody affair," he said. Beyond his directorial projects, Cregger appeared in countless sketches during his comedy days with Whitest Kids 'U Know, and some of them were very violent. In "Sniper Business," Cregger's character witnesses an intern getting shot through the eye with a snipe

The teaser for Resident Evil Veronica at Summer Game Fest may well have been presented in first-person, but the game itself will be played in third-person, Capcom has confirmed.

Despite being in plenty of spin-offs and crossovers, Claire Redfield is in barely any of the mainline Resident Evil games. After a long time away, RE Veronica is finally set to give Claire her due.
