Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

If Capcom wants to get to the root of what initially made the RE series special, they should stick along the survival horror route. The recent remake of Resident Evil 3 already brings fans into a horror/action-adventure hybrid. With a RE4 remake, Capcom would be venturing even further away from the survival horror set


Look at any major video game franchise character these days, and fans are likely to find one thing: the adventures and hardships they endure are lethal to the average human being. While most video game heroes are exceptional in most aspects, some of their invincibility must be credited to the armor they usually wear into combat. In some cases, changing into the finest piece of armor is a necessity before facing the ultimate boss or simply progressing in the st


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


Should Capcom revive a Resident Evil cult classic in Code: Veronica or should they go with the game-changer? Resident Evil 4 completely revolutionized the RE series and is currently rumored to be the next remake. Leon Kennedy's romp through rural Spain brought the brand back to mainstream relevancy. Meanwhile, Dreamcast's 2000 release of Resident Evil Code: Veronica was met with critical acclaim. The rumors regarding the supposed 2022 RE4 remake has caused an uproar among upset Code: Veronica fans on Twit


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


To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2's horror elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr


**Resident Evil 3 ** was revealed during December’s State of Play broadcast and with it came a somewhat surprising amount of information.

Yes, there are parts in the game that are startling and downright creepy. But whether it was the fact that fixed camera angles were gone or the horde of parasite-infested visitors, this RE4 game moved forward on what started with RE3 —a greater reliance on the action-oriented play and mowing down enem


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


This cut-scene showed Jill running away from a shadowy Mr. X-like figure before bursting out of the burning building and crashing against a wall. This section presumably shows the events that occurred leading up to the point where Jill became playable in the original title. This is not the only point in the trailer that hints at aspects of the story of Resident Evil 3 _ ; _ several familiar characters appear later in the trailer.
