Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

In the end, Resident Evil 3 remake is not perfect. It has a lot of drawbacks and maybe the changes that Capcom introduced are too drastic for hardcore players, but it is by no means a bad remake. Resident Evil 3 may not be for everyone, especially to those who are looking for a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 1999 game. But nostalgia aside, the latest reimagining of Resident Evil 3 offers an intense and scary experience that allows players to experience the same story but in a different way, which is what a good remake should

Of course, it would be easier for Capcom to just use the same formula that made Resident Evil 2 remake successful for Resident Evil 3 . However, the studio is aware of the fact that sequels should evolve from its predecessor, and this is exactly why Capcom introduced these changes to the remake . Towards the end of Resident Evil 2 remake , Donkey Kong Bananza players will notice that the pace of the game is more intense and action-heavy, and Resident Evil 3 remake picks up exactly from that point. Looking at both games as a whole, Resident Evil 3 perfectly compliments Resident Evil 2 , which is what a good sequel should

Now, the subsequent creatures that are featured on this list are monsters that were developed by Capcom for other Resident Evil games that did not make the final cut. Headlining this list is the ultra-creepy Spider-Man, which is a monster design that was rejected during the development of the Resident Evil 0 . The monster appears to be a giant tarantula spider that is taking over a human host. The monster design surfaced during the Developer Diary video of Resident Evil 0 Remaster , and while unlikely, it is interesting to see this design come to life in Resident Evi

This team contributed to the development of RE3 and is made up of developers that have worked for Capcom in the past. Meanwhile, Shinji Mikami, the director of the original game, has been reported to give his blessing on this title. If Mikami is comfortable with who is at the helm, then it must mean they have some great id

When you look at what was possible with Mr. X and Nemesis, it is pretty cool to think about how stellar the AI would be in a new RE4 game that also heavily depends on sinister and relatively intelligent enem

Personality-wise, Capcom did introduce some slight changes to Jill Valentine in the upcoming remake. In previous trailers, gameplay previews, and the RE 3 playable demo , it is evident that Capcom has increased Jill’s badass traits as compared to previous Resident Evil games. In the opening sequence of the demo alone, we saw Jill make sarcastic comments during a conversation with Carlos Oliveria and Mikhail Viktor. Of course, looking at it closely, the spirit of the scene remains consistent with that of the original. The U.B.C.S. asked to partner with Jill, she was reluctant at first, but she agreed anyway knowing that it would increase the chances of her survi

This attire that looks inspired by Sauron from The Lord of the Rings became so iconic that even gamers who don’t play World of Warcraft have seen it at some point. For the actual fans of World of Warcraft , it doesn’t need an introduction. Its cultural importance in the video gaming world is immeasura

Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren’t as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she’s in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today’s video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn’t intentional, Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn’t really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis

A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it’s disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad’s death more meaningful as compared to the original g

For RE4 , even though the graphics aren’t as sharp as today’s, it still relatively holds up. The characters are easy to make out, and the settings aren’t terrible. It also just received a 2016 HD remaster. Does this game really need the pol

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
