Resident Evil Code: Veronica, released in Japan as Biohazard Code: Veronica , is the fourth installment in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series, originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000. It is notable for being the first Resident Evil title to debut on a non-Sony platform, in contrast to the first three installments, which were originally PlayStation games and then ported to other platforms. An updated version of the game, titled Code: Veronica X , was released for the Dreamcast in Japan and for the PlayStation 2 worldwide in 2001. This revision was ported to the Nintendo... GameCube in 2003. Code: Veronica X includes updated and new cut scenes spliced into the main game along with mild graphical changes. Code: Veronica is the first Resident Evil game in the main series to use 3D backgrounds instead of the traditional pre-rendered ones. Despite this, the camera does not follow the player around, but swings between semi-fixed angles. However, two weapons in the game can be fired from the character's point of view.
