Resident Evil 3 Remake: Clues For An Expanded Story
The Wildcat was a scrapped monster that was supposed to appear in the original Resident Evil 3 game. These creatures were supposed to be the ones hunting in the Raccoon City park but were replaced by the Hunter Gammas instead . The origins of the Wildcat is still unknown but it appears that the monster is not a product of the Umbrella Corporation, and is probably an escaped zoo animal that was infected with the t-Virus. As of the moment, gameplay videos of Resident Evil 3 remake appear to suggest that the Hunter Gammas will be located in the city’s sewers, which begs the question of whether the city park will now be populated by this scrapped mons
Bringing back such a game ahead of its time means Resident Evil 4 ‘s remake has a lot to live up to. That’s precisely why Capcom has to perform a very delicate balancing act if Capcom intends to truly remake Resident Evil 4 in the flavor of its most recent remakes. A lot of what the original game introduced to the Open World Racing of games has now become commonplace for third-person shooters, survival horror games, and other genres in general. That being said, there are plenty of quality-of-life updates Resident Evil 4 deserves that a remake could achieve thanks to innovations made in games from the past dec
Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the world of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem
Of course, while it may be disappointing to have these locations removed, it made Jill and Carlos’ route to their escape more realistic than the original. Both the park and the graveyard only existed because they led to the dead factory, which is Umbrella’s disposal facility . However, having such a facility that conducts illegal operations above ground is unrealistic, which is why a highly-sophisticated lab beneath the Hospital, which is also owned by Umbrella, makes more sense in the grand scheme of thi
Another criticism that Resident Evil 3 remake keeps on getting is that the game is heavily reliant on action-heavy sequences. It is worth remembering that Resident Evil 3 has always been more action-oriented than Resident Evil 2 and the original Resident Evil . But this is not to say that Resident Evil 3 remake is not survival horror, yes it does have its intense and fast-paced moments, but there are still horror elements in the remake to balance it all
Although Resident Evil 3 is not a bad remake, it is important to acknowledge that it’s not perfect either. Similar to its original counterpart, the game’s main campaign is relatively short , due to the fact that the remake did not include any additional storylines to the game. Sure, UBCS member Tyrell may have been given an expanded role in the game, but Brad Vickers died too soon, Dario Rosso’s appearance is mostly just for the sake of having him there, and players didn’t even get to meet and know the civilians that Jill and Carlos fought so hard to res
Furthermore, there are a few clues which may reveal a much more expansive version of Raccoon City’s outdoor maps to explore. For example, the Collector’s Edition of Resident Evil 3 ‘s remake comes with an entire map of Raccoon City in detail. It also states it is a double sided map. While nothing is certain, one side could be a version of Downtown Raccoon City, and the other could be a more detailed map of Uptown, both of which were the outdoor maps in the original game in a much smaller size at the t
Remaking Resident Evil 4 poses an interesting opportunity for Capcom, an undertaking very different in comparison to remaking the classic Resident Evil titles. Considering the technical gap from the original PlayStation to current-gen consoles is gigantic, Resident Evil 2 and 3 received a lot of love for their respective reimaginings. The fourth Resident Evil game is still widely considered a relatively modern entry in the series, despite showing its age in several aspects. Capcom’s development team could strike the perfect balance of new and old in giving one of the best Resident Evil titles a proper reimagin
Furthermore, when Jill jumps outside of her apartment in the trailer, one can quickly observe the Liquor Store in the background. In the original Resident Evil games, the liquor store was never in Resident Evil 3 , but only in the second game and in Operation Raccoon City . This could also entail a more expansive map of Raccoon City to explore in its entirety, or close to. Then again, it could be a different liquor store entirely, despite the store’s title having similarly red lights for its letter
