For those unaware, Resident Evil 3: Remake isn't just a remaster with better graphics, but a completely reimagined version of the game. As with any remake, it is important that developers reinvigorate the beloved game with new and more modern ideas and mechanics, but equally important that they avoid changing too much so as to step on the toes of the original. So far, Resident Evil 3 Remake seems to be doing this well, as is evidenced by the spot-on recreations of its many, harrowing monst The Drain Deimos is yet another terrifying creature which is now confirmed to appear in the remake. Although the new version seems more quadrupedal, it is very likely that it is capable of standing upright. Overall the beast looks more monstrous, and if it's able to do what the original Drain Deimos was, then players have good reason to fear it. The bug-like aspects of this monster have also been amped up in the remake's rendition of the Drain Deimos, invoking images of a giant preying mantis or something of the s When Capcom went back to the drawing board while remaking Resident Evil 2, it made complete sense. The original three games revolved around outdated game design, favoring restrictive tank controls and a fixed viewpoint instead of allowing players to pilot both their character and camera with relative ease. Instead of fully altering the world, story, or characters (all the elements which fans loved about Resident Evil 2), the remake restructures the game's obsolete design and transforms it into a horror experience built to thrive in 20 However, as many other franchises have discovered, you cannot just depend on this feeling. RE2 and RE3 remakes made sense from a functional standpoint, but RE4 may not be necessary beyond feelings of nostal Now, an article from the Official Xbox Magazine recently spilled some pretty juicy information about the upcoming game. Unfortunately, the details released by the magazine sparked confusion among fans given that the article made it appear that Nemesis would be able to break into saferooms . Capcom quickly clarified to several news outlets that they tyrant would be unable to enter these safe havens, but there will be areas in the game that will have a typewriter and an item box that Nemesis would be able to access, similar to the RPD's main hall in Resident Evil 2 remake . However, to ensure that the room that players are in is safe, they would have to listen for the save room theme to p There are some key differences though which seem to complement the monster quite nicely. For one, the trench coat itself is darker and bulkier, and seems to be made out of some kind of stretched leather. Nemesis is much more top heavy in the new version as well, featuring an even more towering physique than before. And although this is less of a change and more just improved graphics, the extra detail of Nemesis' face and the way the flesh seems pulled over adds to the overall fear factor of the beast. If Nemesis is going to strike fear into players the same way he did in the original game, it is vital he looks the p Resident Evil 3 Remake 's version of the Grave Digger has changed quite a bit too. The creature's mouth is now much larger than it was previously, but actually seems to sport fewer teeth. Though that may seem like it would make the Grave Digger less scary, in reality the fleshy interior of this beast and the way its entire face unfolds is the stuff of nightmare. Not much has been shown of this experiment gone wrong aside from this one screenshot, though, so it is difficult to say what else about the creature developers might have chan For Resident Evil 2 and 3 , you are put right in the middle of the corruption of Racoon City and the Umbrella Corporation. They haven't done right by their people, and Leon (in Resident Evil 2 ) and Jill ( Resident Evil 4 Remake Evil 3 ) are there to get to the bottom of what's going As of the moment, it is pretty hard to tell whether Capcom was able to surpass Resident Evil 2 with Resident Evil 3 remake for sales, given that the reception for the latest reimagining is mixed. Unlike 2019's Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 3 remake is significantly different than its original counterpart. Sure, the major plot points of the game still remain true to some extent, but Capcom has been more liberal in switching events around this time. Many players welcomed the changes, but some hardcore fans were not happy with how the game turned out to be, and others criticized it for being too short and leaning too much on action-heavy eleme Resident Evil 4 , while arguably not up to the technical standards of many modern experiences, is far from as obsolete as the franchise's first handful of entries. The over-the-shoulder camera, third-person aiming, and overall format utilized in the reimagining of Resident Evil 2 was, after all, first established throughout 4's sensational rebranding of the series back in 2005. In fact, one of the remake's most critically acclaimed features was its faithful resurrection of the systems and mechanics first established in the fourth game, with many citing Resident Evil 2's remake as a return to form for the franchise's classic formula. With its design emulating Resident Evil 4 so closely, it begs the question of whether a remake would seem unnecessary; almost acting as more of a visual touch up than a full reimagining of the original ti
