** This becomes [[FromBadToWorse even more disturbing]] as [[Creator/ShinjiMikami Shinji Mikami]] confirmed that [[TwinCest the twins kissed]] just as the home video cuts off in-game, which is probably why this video is [[FirstKiss particularly significant]] to Alfred.

* Why doesn't the tentacle that grabbed Claire just choke the life out of her and be done with it? Alexia is a MadScientist. Sure, she could have willed the tentacle to kill Claire. But she wanted to see if the T-Veronica virus' influence was strong enough to overcome Steve's love for Claire. Turns out it wasn't.

[[spoiler:Alexia's ultimate death]] is an almost perfect mirror of the home movie Claire and Steve discovered in the "Rockfort Mansion" and plays nicely into [[spoiler:her]] deluded obsession with ants, making it full of symbolism and maybe even something of a [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]].

* The Ashford twins are the foil to the Redfield siblings. Claire and Chris are fairly stoic, dark haired, good, firearm proficient and fighting monsters frequently while the Ashfords are bizarrely emotional, blonde, evil, either crap with guns or reliant on mutant powers to fight and either creating monsters or becoming them.

* Code: Veronica made the knife a viable offensive weapon for the first time. The reason why it's suddenly decent is apparent if you look at it's in game model when it's equipped. The first game's knife was a dinky little pocketknife, this one's a step down from a ''machete!''

* Of course the Ashfords would have a base in the Antarctic, because the abbreviation makes it an Ant. Base.

* Alfred's being a terrible shot despite having a laser-pointer-equipped sniper rifle is an almost GeniusBonus level ShoutOut: the exact same model of sniper rifle appeared in George A. Romero's ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' film, where Peter notes that "''The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.''". True enough, Alfred ''is'' rich enough to buy such an expensive gun, and he ''is'' completely incompetent at using it.

* The Ashfold twins are the foil to the Redfield siblings. Claire and Chris are fairly stoic, dark haired, good, firearm proficient and fighting monsters frequently while the Ashfolds are bizarrely emotional, blonde, evil, either crap with guns or reliant on mutant powers to fight and either creating monsters or becoming them.

* In Code: Veronica X, Wesker knows Steve's name. [[spoiler: But Steve's dead, they never met before then, and there's no indication whatsoever that Wesker heard a few of the conversations in-game that would indicate that his name was Steve.]]
** Steve was a prisoner of an Umbrella-run facility, and they would keep track of that sort of thing. Wesker had access to the facility's files by virtue of having just taken it over by force.
* To quote TheDarkID regarding Claire's imprisonment on the island: "Instead of turning her over to the police like rational people, we decided to kidnap her and ship her off to our corporate branch death camp." Umbrella routinely makes stupid decisions, but there is seriously no real reason for them to lock up Claire themselves. It would be understandable if she knew corporate secrets or something, but she broke into the Paris lab facility specifically ''because'' she was looking for answers and any claims she made to the police would probably be dismissed.
** Not necessarily. According to RE4's intro movie, after the thing in Raccoon City, the US Government started seriously looking at Umbrella and shut them down. Code Veronica would've been happening just as that investigation was getting started, so she would've been so quickly dismissed.
