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.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a Q&A session after the reveal attended by IGN, the remake\u2019s producer, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, confirmed that \u201cthis game will be a third-person game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing as the teaser told a story from a different perspective, and this year\u2019s Resident Evil Requiem switches between the two styles, players might have thought that Veronica would follow a familiar path, with perhaps Claire and Chris\u2019 sections doing something similar.<\/p>\n
It makes sense, though. The original Code Veronica is an action-heavy Resident Evil entry that introduced the likes of dual-wielding SMGs and being able to target multiple enemies at once into its combat repertoire. When asked if this reimagining will include the same mechanics, Hirabayashi explained that he was \u201cnot going to be able to get into too many details today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the team behind this remake is the same team that handled the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo if you looked at the past remakes that this team has created, you can probably sense a certain mindset that we have when we make a game, and that mindset includes preserving those iconic and key aspects of the title. So again, if you look at our work, you can probably get kind of a good sense of what kind of approach we’re taking here, and maybe you can imagine what that might look like for this remake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica stars Claire Redfield as she begins the search for her missing brother, Chris. Having survived the horrors of Resident Evil 2, she\u2019s thrust back into the action, albeit with more experience than she had prior to the horrors of Raccoon City. In regard to how much of an evolved version of Claire we\u2019ll see in Veronica, and how far her combat skills have developed, Hirabayashi said the team is taking a realistic approach.<\/p>\n
