Its not about Code Veronica not selling well but it not being essential. If you are a newbie or a returning fan after several years, and needed to catch up before RE8, Code Veronica could totally be skipped and nothing of value would be lost. The game literally adds nothing. CAPCOM could shit in bag and call it Resident Evil: Were not trying, and it would still be a multi million seller, ya know like RE6 which as of last update is CAPCOM 3rd highest selling game. The butthurt is blinding you to the truth.

Actually Cove Veronica is much more important that RE3 which is why RE3 was originally meant to be a spin-off to RE 2 and Code V was meant to be the official sequel but Capcom had a partnership deal with Sony they could only release a numbered RE game on PS1 so they made the spin-off RE3 which really didn't bring anything new other than Nemesis.

Code V explores the origin of the family behind the mansion, Umbrella corp if i'm not mistaken, the origin of the virus, Chris and Claire reuniting and up against Wesker who turned out to be alive after RE1 and is the true villain of the series. Everything about Code V screams a true sequel, only Steve was kind of stupid and annoying to have around, but other than that it's a great game that unfortenately failed because it launched on the wrong console at the wrong time.

You guys sound like a broken record; A large amount of post are saying the same...damn...thing. CAPCOM does not care that CV was suppose to be RE3, because that issue was solved 20 years. Its a really stupid jutisication considering how development of games rapidly. Devil May Cry was a RE4 at first, so are going to whine about DMC not getting a remake too? The business sense is having the mainline series easily available for those needing to catch up. M-two is composed of Platinum and CAPCOM employees that worked on RE4; has anybody considered that RE4 was chosen because because of the developers knowledge of said game?
