In Dengeki Dreamcast Vol.31 (24/03/00) director Kato says CODE:Veronica's first-person view wasn't used in the main game due to slowdowns like in open areas with many Zombies, which Battle Game was tailored to avoid, as well as ethical concerns due to graphical realism.

Thanks to an amazing joint effort by our community, we successfully won an auction for the original BIOHAZARD 2 Final Draft scriptbook. It'll receive the same dissecting we gave the Dino Crisis 2 script. Among many differences here, Claire was 20 & Leon was 25.

We attempted to acquire the "final draft" scriptbook of BIOHAZARD 0's scenario, written by Noboru Sugimura & FLAGSHIP. Sadly it exceeded our max, so in future we'll consider community donations as well. We hope the winning bidder makes it available in some form!

Looking at the raw video, it doesn't really look like anything, let alone a 6. I think this may be a case of expectations coloring impressions.

This artwork's often presented as "first-person concept art" for the original BIO HAZARD due to years of repeated poor sourcing. It's only a Famitsu artist's impression of what it would've looked like for Weekly Famitsu No.460's BIO feature, not CAPCOM art.

Thanks to irresponsible "journalism" by IGN many years ago and Wikipedia's insistence on it as gospel, we may need daily reminders that CODE:Veronica was never BIO3 at any time.

We were recently fortunate enough to find & obtain an original full recording script for the series' first drama album, "BIO HAZARD The Tragedy of Machova Village". It still includes notes from the recording process. We'll be fully translating it.
