15 Greatest Resident Evil Moments Ever
13. Steve's Transformation - Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Code Veronica is something of a black sheep in the Resident Evil family. Personally, I don't get it. I think it's as strong a contender as any of the main numbered series.
Anyway, that aside, we can all agree that Steve Burnside is a bit of a sore thumb. In that, from his first appearance in the game, he's an annoying little twerp. It's only over the course of the game that you learn of his tragic circumstance, through no fault of his own, that you begin to sympathise with him. Well... a bit.
For the first half of the game, young Burnside becomes your unlikely ally. Yet it's an unexpected trip to Antarctica that sees our man go through his biggest transformation.
Quite literally, in fact.
The setup may have been a bit on the nose, but that gauntlet run away from him is too close to call at the best of times.
It's a tragic end for someone, annoying or not, being injected with the t-Veronica virus. Dying at 17 after having your free will taken from you is a harsh way to go.
