One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car. Players would also remember that immediately after leaving the area, the gas station would blow up, and it will be interesting to see whether this will also happen in the rem
Yet, it's worth remembering that Resident Evil 4 is undeniably one of the series' most pivotal entries. The action-centric format that eventually went onto define the later games in the series was done to perfection in 4 , with the game completely reinventing what it meant to play a Resident Evil title . It goes without saying that while a remake might not be as utterly transformative as Horror games evolution like Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake of the third game, there's still a lot of merit in updating Resident Evil 4's combat and clunky controls to show just how incredible the game's core gameplay and set of mechanics were back in the day. Fixing the aiming so players can move while shooting and adding some of the incredible nuances that made Resident Evil 2 such an immersive next step for the series would go a long way if added to the fourth game, especially if done so alongside a major visual overha
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
Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil's newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake's release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it's also worth considering whether the third game's groundbreaking sequel, Resident Evil 4 , would - or more importantly even should - receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 an
Of course, apart from a massive visual upgrade, Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3 remake will be more expansive, encouraging players to savor the city in ruins. However, Fabiano clarified that while players can do a little bit of exploration, Resident Evil 3 remake is not an open-world game . The upcoming title will still follow a strictly linear progression, but players can enter some shops and buildings and even interact with a few items in the game, which is something that cannot be done in the 1999 ti
Apart from the Stagla gas station, some players also identified other easter eggs in the remake such as unique markings on the floor, and various posters that were featured in the original. One such poster promotes an upcoming performance of the Big E band, which players can find in one of the alleyways of the original game. These small details show just how dedicated Capcom is in revitalizing Raccoon City by making it bigger and more alive while making it feel familiar at the same t
More likely, if it is not a new enemy type, then it is probably the Hunter Y. The Hunter Y is a different version of the Hunter enemy that is different from the Hunter Betas, which uses reptilian DNA bonded with human embryos. The Hunter Y is created by bonding human DNA with a fertilized amphibian egg, and applying the original T-Virus as the bonding agent, similarly. Hunter Ys were also created much later in Resident Evil's timeline, having been engineered in 1998, the same year as the Raccoon City outbr
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
