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


Additionally, these red barrels and electrical generators would also give players a chance to strategize their use. Should players use the red barrel now to kill a few zombies, or would it be better to save it for later when Nemesis shows up? This returning feature definitely adds another layer to the game's survival-horror mechanic where resource management is k


But to balance it all out, and to retain the feel of previous Resident Evil games, Resident Evil 3 still has classic survival-horror elements as seen in the police station and hospital sequences of the game. When players get to control Carlos in the remake, they are taken back to the RPD and almost immediately, the overall vibe of the game changes from high-paced intense action to the claustrophobic nature of Resident Evil 2 . The same applies to the hospital and sewers part of the game, where players find themselves in a confined space, making every zombie, licker, and hunter, much more terrify


Capcom 's recent 2019 Integrated Report has stated that, based on the success of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5 , it should "awaken dormant intellectual properties." In other words, Capcom appears to be looking at further remakes going forward, which would also fit Capcom's sentiments last year when it told investors it would look more closely at building success on older game properties and IPs of Capc


Another feature that will be returning in Resident Evil 3 is the explosive items that are scattered all flux construct locations around Raccoon City, as confirmed in the gameplay preview . Just like in the original game, these explosive items will help players curb the threat of the infected or temporarily slow down Nemesis. It is currently unclear how diverse these explosive items will be in the remake, but the original game included red barrels, wall bombs, and even street lights. So far, we've seen the return of red barrels and the addition of electrical generators, but it is interesting to see whether Capcom will add more of these explosive items in the rem


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


The first Devil May Cry was already redone once in the form of a reboot, on Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2013, but to many fans, the reboot missed the mark with too much reliance on platforming and the new version of Dante simply was not well received. It may be worth remaking the original iteration of the Devil May Cry once again, but without rebooting the character himself or the story, and maintaining Devil May Cry's stylish characters from the original. Giving it the Resident Evil 2 Remake treatment by updating the overall gameplay engine and world, but keeping the characters and story intact, may be the better route to initiate a second Remake done ri


Given that players will be exploring Raccoon City itself rather than just one building, the remake will be introducing some sort of a fast travel system for players to get around the city. It appears that Jill Valentine will be able to utilize the subway system to visit various areas of the city, and the subway will be serving as some sort of a hub connecting the game's many locations. This feature is not present in the original 1999 title, although players were able to access a cable car. However, the cable car would only take them straight to the Clock Tower before it gets destroyed for g


Resident Evil 3 remake is set to release this April, which is the latest title in the original RE trilogy to get a remake. However, aside from zombies and other monsters, the first three Resident Evil games had something else in common given that they all took place in Raccoon City, or at least in its outskirts as is the case in the first Resident Evil . Throughout Resident Evil's 23-year history, Raccoon City has been re-imagined countless times, but how will Resident Evil 3 remake portray the doomed c


Yet again, however, it's not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati
