That said, Code: Veronica is a better regarded game than Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6, making it the kind of remake that could be 'enjoyed by a wide audience.' Code: Veronica is also significantly older the game first released in 2000, while Resident Evil 5 and 6 released in 20, respectively.
