'''''Resident Evil Code: Veronica''''' is the fourth ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game released and the fifth game chronologically.
The game takes place three months after the destruction of Raccoon City; although a setback to Umbrella, they have yet to be toppled and are still producing their bioweapons. Having lost contact with her brother Chris, Claire Redfield attempts to infiltrate an Umbrella facility located in Paris. She is discovered and attempts to escape, only to run out of ammo in the resultant shootout and be captured by a lucky [[
While she is confined to a solitary cell, however, an attack is made on the island, causing a T-Virus outbreak. Claire becomes aware of this only when an injured guard, by sheer coincidence the same man who managed to capture her in Paris, stumbles down into the solitary cell to seek shelter. In an attack of conscience, the man releases her and tells her that the island is finished, so she's free to go.
Line 14:
Meanwhile, Chris Redfield, having been alerted to Claire's location early after she escaped by an email she sent from a computer in a guard station, arrives at Rockfort Island to find it in ruins. Narrowly escaping a confrontation with Albert Wesker, presumed dead in the [[Resident Evil 1|Mansion Incident]], he finally manages to track Claire and Steve's location and sets off to rescue them from Alfred's even crazier sister, Alexia Ashford...

=== This game includes examples of: ===
Line 20:
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Averted in the main game, but the Battle Game mode has an alternate version of Claire who wears a tank top, hot pants and go-go boots.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Alfred and Alexia Ashford are of noble birth and ''completely out of their minds''.
* [[Attack of the
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Oh, good Lord, Alfred. Such is what happens when one forms bonds with someone that remained frozen for over a decade.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Wesker, having returned from his death in the original game.
Line 39:
* [[Creepy Twins]]: The Ashford twins.
* [[Cutscene Incompetence]]: When {{spoiler|Steve's father}}, now a zombie, tries to munch on Claire, she apparently forgets all about the weapons she's been carrying around the whole game. Let alone Steve doing nothing for a while, saying how he can't help her. Justified in that he just found out {{spoiler|that his dad is dead the hard way}}. The kid's still human.
* [[Cutscene Power to
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Alfred.
* [[Emergency Weapon]]: This is the first game in the series where the knife is actually useful since it registers multiple hits as the blade slices through enemies instead of one measly stab.
Line 48:
** Alfred does it too, but it's closer to a [[Noblewoman's Laugh]].
** Wesker gets one at the end of ''X''.
* [[Exposed to
** Umbrella's Antarctic facility is clearly no longer heated, but lightly dressed Claire and Steve barely seem to notice. Claire even has an outdoor boss battle in a snowstorm. Oddly, Capcom didn't even get this right as the game is set in December, during the Southern Hemisphere's summer, and Antarctica ''could'' be survivable. But the game goes out of its way to show how cold it is.
** Claire and Steve crashed at Latitude 82 degrees 17 minutes South and Longitude about 136 degrees East, which puts them in the vicinity of Antarctica's Southeast coast, but they're a good ways inland, so even in the summer we're still talking temperatures of at most -10 degrees C. Exposure is ''definitely'' still fatal.
Line 66:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Suffice to say, Wesker went on to star in more ''Resident Evil'' games...
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: In the original Dreamcast release, Wesker's return was a big twist that isn't revealed until the player reaches the second disc. In the later ''Code: Veronica X'' release, not only is Wesker's face visible on the cover, but he shows up a lot earlier as well. If that wasn't enough, the ''X'' version was even sold with a bonus DVD known as ''Wesker's Report'', which was offered as a pre-order bonus.
* [[Late to
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The knife, for the first time in the series, proves to be a viable weapon against individual zombies or even small groups.
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Claire is [[Genre Savvy]] enough now to try and avoid this, but Steve is so moody and confused that he keeps running off on his own anyway.
Line 72:
* [[Lost Forever]]: You know that fire extinguisher you used early in the game, and then might have left in the metal detector bin? Well you better go get it before the island's self destruct sequence starts, otherwise, you're not going to get the magnum.
* [[Mini Game]]: The Battle Game available upon completing the main story mode.
* [[Naked
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Steve's haircut was altered to lessen his likeness to Leonardo DiCaprio. The irony is that Steve's hair is likened to Leon's now, to the point that some people thought that Steve was Leon.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Wesker brutally mahandles Claire in their first encounter. He later gives Chris an impressive beating {{spoiler|in the ending of ''Code: Veronica X''.}} Both times, he's interrupted before he can finish them off.
Line 81:
* [[Sauna of Death]]: The trap room in the Palace.
* [[Sequel Number Snarl]]: ''Code: Veronica'' was going to be ''Resident Evil 3''. However, since it was originally developed as a Dreamcast exclusive at a time the franchise was still tied to the PlayStation, it was treated more like a side story than a true sequel.
* [[So Long and Thanks For All
* [[Staking the Loved One]]: {{spoiler|Steve is forced to kill his father after the latter becomes a zombie.}}
* [[Still Wearing the Old Colors]]: Chris is in a S.T.A.R.S. uniform, despite them being disbanded for months.
Line 93:
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: {{spoiler|Alfred. Justified in the fact that he has a split personality disorder}}.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]/[[BFG]]: The Linear Launcher.
* [[What Happened to
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Subverted. This time, the zombies don't get the great spotlight.
