How Resident Evil 3 Remake Changed Jill Valentine

The underwater city of Rapture is such an iconic setting that it’s hard to imagine BioShock being set anywhere else. However, original plans for the game had it set on a space station infested with mutated monsters, with players sent to rescue someone from a c

Resident Evil 4 is a critically-acclaimed masterpiece that some believe to be the greatest game of all time. A next-gen remake, using the RE engine, has incredible potential to recreate magic. And considering that many fans and critics alike hail the series as something extraordinary, the hype would be through the r

To those who are not so well-versed in Resident Evil’s long history, Jill Valentine is one of the first playable characters in Resident Evil, and many claim that she is also the first female playable character in a survival-horror game. When Capcom first introduced Jill, she is described as a capable police officer, whose strengths include her compassionate nature, a strong sense of justice, and her ability to work well under extreme pressure. It is fairly difficult to go in-depth on Jill’s personality during the first Resident Evil game, since she barely had any, given that Capcom’s priority at this point in Resident Evil’s history was to introduce strong survival-horror gamep

Throughout Resident Evil’s 24-year history, the franchise has produced a cast of amazing characters that have since become beloved icons in the video game industry. Of course, while every Resident Evil fan will have their own favorite character, it is without a doubt that, despite a long absence, Jill Valentine remains to be one of the most popular Resident Evil characters of all time. In just a week from today, Jill Valentine is making a return with the release of the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which chronicles her desperate escape from Raccoon City and the relentless pursuit of Neme

In similar fashion to Nioh and Sekiro , many fans will recall that Onimusha was a fairly difficult action-adventure game when it first released in the year 2001 and posed a great challenge to players requiring much mastery of its timing-based combat. Onimusha’s story, similar to Nioh , takes place during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Players took control of the samurai Samanosuke in fighting against many demons in their adventure to save a princess named Yuki from the dem

With many potential options for Capcom to choose from in digging up and revamping its most standout game titles, the current industry trends in gaming offer much potential to any one of these franchises. It is difficult to predict where Capcom will head to next in terms of its remakes, or potential reboots, but based on current successes with the Resident Evil series, another Resident Evil remake or a remake of Dino Crisis appear to be the most likely choices to go to n

At its core, Grand Theft Auto is a game about being a criminal and committing heinous acts. But it wasn’t always that way. Back when Grand Info Theft Auto was called Race ‘n’ Chase , players were actually allowed to choose whether they wanted to play as the police or the criminal. Furthermore, the game wasn’t about completing missions or free-roaming, but rather, it was a multiplayer racing g

Having said all that, is Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the remake different from the original? With everything we know so far, the answer to that would be yes, Capcom did take a different approach in Jill’s personality, but the developers were still able to retain her overall character. She remains independent and capable, compassionate to others but tough on her enemies. Sure, she is a little bit sassier than her previous portrayals but her comebacks are always within rea

Without a doubt, Resident Evil 4 was an absolute game changer for third-person shooters. The game introduced the “over the shoulder” perspective that has since become a staple of the genre. Not only did the game revolutionize third-person shooters, RE4 has also been a source of inspiration to various video games franchises such as God of War , Gears of War , Grand Theft Auto , Fallout , and more! The game also influenced survival horror titles to become more in tune with action-adventure such as The Last of Us and the Dead Space tril

However, Resident Evil 3 producer Peter Fabiano also clarified that even though Nemesis was designed to have a smarter AI , the developers also programmed the monster to give players some room to breathe momentarily. During the design of Nemesis, the developers acknowledged how “pacing is important” to ensure a correct balance between heart-pumping action and letting players feel a little bit relaxed while still maintaining some level of tension and sense of dread that is common in survival horror ga

Code: Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000. This game is about five years older than RE4 which shows with the game’s much more dated graphics. Meanwhile, RE4 has gotten remaster after remaster since its 2005 release. At the same time, Code: Veronica hasn’t seen any graphical improvements since the HD re-release in 2
