I found this on the Resident Evil Wiki because I've always wondered myself why this wasn't a numbered entry:

"Capcom had originally planned 'Resident Evil Code: Veronica' to be their third installment in the series. However, due to a contract they signed with Sony which stated that their next numbered game was to be released on the PlayStation system, they made Resident Evil: Nemesis, their original spinoff, a main series installment (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis). Resident Evil: Code Veronica, which was meant to be their next main series installment, was instead made into their spinoff. Be that as it may, Resident Evil Code: Veronica is still considered part of the main series."

So technically this would've been Resident Evil 3 if anything.
 
I consider it the true RE3 (as Capcom intended it to be). It makes more sense if you think about it anyway. Nemsis took place during RE2 for the most part so it would make sense if that one was the "spin off". Where as RECVX actually takes place a few months after RE2 if memory serves. It's a shame this game is so underrated by many.

Yeah, should have been the other way around. RE3 seemed like an addon to RE2, most agree with that.
 
I don't like the idea of subtitles...but if i did, here's what it would be
Resident Evil 0 (No Subtitle)
Resident Evil (No Subtitle)
Resident Evil 2: Raccoon City
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis or Resident Evil 3: The Last Star(Star would be a reference to Jill being part of S.T.A.R.S.)
Resident Evil: Veronica Effect (I don't like how it's called CODE: Veronica...maybe cause it seems the CODE is unnesicary...
Resident Evil 4: Parasite Rising
Resident Evil 5: Jaded Memories (A talking about the memories of all the past RE's and how Chris and Wesker have their final showdown)


I like how these ones are named, they make more sense this way!

So code: veronica is basically res3
 
Oh yeah! Capcom should hit the gaming market with ultimate RE package containing all the following games fully remade and Steve with a new voice actor.

l like resident evil zero
 
Honestly, I like the subtitles for the books too much to change any of them or make my own.

Zero Hour
The Umbrella Conspiracy
City of the Dead
Nemesis
CODE Veronica

And I just thought about it, and does anyone think that Resident Evil 2: Caliban Cove kind of inspired the Las Plagas parasite of Resident Evil 4? Considering the properties of the virus in that book, it'd seem like quite a coincidence.
