Shinji Mikami- RE3 quality a bit lacking, Code Veronica should have been numbered

I think we all knew (especially after you played it) that Code Veronica felt more than just a spin-off. So hearing that it was suppose to be a numbered game should be no surprised.

If memory serves, Code Veronica was supposed to be RE3, but because capcom had a contract with sony to release 3 numbered RE games on the PS1, RE3, which was the spinoff, not code veronica, got a name change, and then what was supposed to be RE3 got renamed to code veronica.  Capcom didn't want to title it RE4, because the two games were coming out too close to one another.

Then would this be Capcom's own silly fault since they knew way ahead that they have to make a RE1-3 for PS1 to begin with?
