I see your point, and I agree with it... But this is no different than
home video and DVD publishing. You release a version for the general
public, then you release a limited edition with special features for the
collectors with disposable income. Then you put your product on
moratorium, creating an artifical scarcity and an artificial demand. Then
you release the product again in different packaging, and sell even more.
This is the method by which Disney Home Video stays in business, BTW. It's
not illegal, but it causes more redundant sales. As long as consumers
hunger to be entertained continuously, but in the same way, then this sort
of business model will continue to exist. Only a bummer if you don't stand
to gain from it...

robot toys, comic books, or car repair components for me. From here on
out, it's strictly video games and Chinese food. :)

I think the real question is why they make their RE games platform exclusive
at any point. They just end up porting every single one anyway.

So they're adding content instead of just doing a straight port? The
bastards! They should be ashamed!

Umm, this is a new game. Code Veronica Complete is the sequel to Code
Veronica. It's the 5th RE game, not just a remake of RECV.

how 'bout if there's *no* new or revamped or "re-cut" RE games anymore?

Code Veronica complete comes with a DVD, I believe.

No, its just like Capcom does with every other RE game. They release
a second version after a little while. Except for maybe RE3 since
it was pretty lame.

In case you haven't noticed: Capcom, 989 Studios, and Core Design are the
two companies most guilty of using a style of software engineering that
takes the old product and refines it continuously, ie. "software recycling"
instead of the "waterfall" model used by every other game maker.
For many computer applications, recycling works just fine, since you can
take an existing product and build on it rather than reinventing the wheel
every time. But for games, where we expect every new game to be
significantly different in terms of graphics/gameplay/etc. the recycling
model just doesn't work. The series where recycling is used (Capcom's Mega
Man and Resident Evil series, Core Designs's Tomb Raider series, 989
Studios's Twisted Metal and Cool Boarders series, Sega did this with the
original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy, etc.) tends to alienate gamers after a
while after each "new" game ends up being a slightly tweaked version of the
last game.

and the sound quality is very good, the people are forgetting about fun,
which is what people really need. Of course, it would be better to have high
quality music and graphics, but we need to make sure that the users enjoy
the game and I think that some of the producers are ignoring that."

if you can also pick it up with just C:VC, though.

They are also releasing Wesker's Report on DVD with the DC version of C:VC.
It's limited edition, and only available with pre-orders, AFAIK. This is in
Japan, I should mention.

Hey, expect this to be followed by Code Veronica Complete Turbo, and
Super Code Veronica Complete Turbo. The first one will let you play as
the final boss in the game.

Hmm. The three first RE games were all very similar, but each one had some
new features and refinements to make each a better game. I wouldn't lump
in Code Veronica with those games. Sure, it controls the same, and does
have some similarities to previous titles. Still, a lot of it felt
different enough. Plus, I'd say that with a title like RE, is isn't until
now, when Capcom has access to systems with some real power behind them,
the power to create full 3D worlds, that the possibilities of the RE
series are finally able to be realized. If, from this point, Capcom does
little to push the series, then there is call for bitching.
> Core Designs's Tomb Raider series
This I'll certainly give you.
> Cool Boarders series
Ah... huh? The first two were made by a Japanese company, UEP. For CB3,
989 took over the series in the US. From what I've been told, CB3 has a
very different feel and play style than the first two.
The problem is, most gamers don't REALLY want change. Sure, we say we do,
but we don't. When a company drastically changed a game for a sequel, we
tend to yell and scream, "What did you do to our beloved game?!?" More of
the same is, quite often, exactly what we actually want deep inside.
Street Fighter Alpha 1-3 weren't a whole lot different, but that was
because they weren't supposed to be. The sequels were meant to refine the
game, add in a few new elements, and "freshen" the older game up a bit. If
you want a drastically different game, you go play a different game, like
SF3 or King of Fighters or whatever.
I think the argument to be made is not how much the company changes and
modifies the game for sequels, but how much they improve the technical
aspects. For example, Core kept using the same, tired old engine for Tomb
Raider, which looked especially bad when another game from Eidos, Soul
Reaver, had an engine on the same machine that trambled all over TR's
engine. The fact that core didn't work to improve the engine and graphics
is what really brought down the later TR games, IMHO, not necessarily the
lack of new innovation to the game. Of course, there are ways that they
could have improved the game and taken it in new directions without
ruining the spirit of the game - I'm not saying that there isn't.
