Survive the deranged terror! Resident Evil – Code: Veronica originally launched in the year 2000 for SEGA Dreamcast console. It is widely celebrated as one of the most important entries in the survival horror series.Developed by Nextech and Tose instead of the core Capcom team, the original game introduced several major milestones for the franchise such as the first core title in the series to use full 3D polygonal environments instead of pre-rendered, static background images.

Yes, just like Virtua Fighter Crossroads have many modes Crazy Taxi World Tour three has at least three main modes confirmed:

World Tour Story Campaign Mode: A story-driven adventure spanning five different cities to recover a stolen cab.
Classic Arcade Mode: A traditional time-attack mode where you earn the most cash possible before the clock expires.
Multiplayer Modes: Both local and online cross-platform competitive gameplay.

I think World Tour Story Campaign Mode is the one that would interest gamers who wanted to play alone (me included) exploring the maps, find shortcuts, and discover missions at their own pace without worrying about time limits.


I'll look forward to adding it to my Steam watchlist when I can.

Is that the Resident Evil game that's famous for being for the Dreamcast? Cool to see it get a remake.

No Switch 2 version page yet, may be the eshop waits until it got exact release date, not just the year (2027).

Yes, that one. It was exclusive to the Dreamcast ... for about a year and a half when it's also finally released to PS2 too.

Added!

I wonder if there will be a pre-order version?

I doubt it, but I wonder if this new remake of Code Veronica will have a nod towards Sega or at least the Dreamcast in any way? Like... I dunno. If you use a Dreamcast controller to play this game with a VMU, it still works as a EKG.

Interview: Virtua Fighter Crossroads producer explains why Sega is putting serious effort into making a standalone-worthy single-player mode







Quote
Q: This entry will feature a dedicated story mode, and it seems you’ve enhanced the narrative presentation significantly. What role will this mode play within the overall game?

Yamada: Since we’re releasing this title primarily for home consoles rather than arcades, I believe it would be pointless unless we delivered a substantial single-player experience. The Virtua Fighter series has traditionally evolved around arcades, but if we want a wider audience to enjoy it, we need to broaden the ways people can play it. That’s what led us to the game’s current format.

We’ve made similar efforts before, like adding a Quest Mode in Virtua Fighter 4, which ended up being well-received by overseas players as well. This time, we’re aiming to go a step beyond that, and rather than simply making a “single-player mode in a fighting game,” we’re aiming for something that can be enjoyable even as a standalone single-player experience. I’d also like to mention that while we’re placing major emphasis on this mode, we’re not neglecting competitive play by any means – we’re thoroughly working on both fronts.

Q: The footage of walking around the city and fighting enemies has prompted some comparisons to Like a Dragon and even Shenmue.

Yamada:
We wanted to avoid making something that’s merely “a fighting game with a story attached to it” by actually introducing new gameplay elements. In that sense, hearing people say it feels like Shenmue is… kind of emotional for me. (laughs)*

In any case, we focused on creating an engaging story and a memorable player experience. Combined with the overall vibe and setting, perhaps that’s what led people to draw comparisons to Shenmue.

*Shenmue was originally developed under the working title “Virtua Fighter RPG.”

Q: The game introduces four new protagonists, including Cielo. Will legacy characters also play a role in the story?

Yamada: Yes, that’s the plan. However, they won’t simply appear for the sake of it. Realism is very important to us for this project, and we want to depict how these characters have lived their lives during the long time that has passed in the game’s world. As a symbol of this, an older Pai Chan will also appear.

I’ve always believed that Virtua Fighter originated from a desire to portray ...

May be it will be revealed later in early 2027.

Probably it won't since the trailer doesn't emphasize it as a remake of a dreamcast classic like Rez Infinite or Cosmic Smash/ C-Smash VRS.

Only if there are many interest for it which I doubt it since even Retro-Bit dreamcast controller aren't selling as much as they predict.

Post-apocalyptic savior with seven distinctive scars carved onto his chest.
