So apparently this is already in development. The must be pretty confident in RE2s performance next month.

Smasandian
Well....nostalgia is big business. I could go for some remakes/reboots of older games. That's the problem with early 3D games...unlike 2D games, they do not age well.

I would buy a remade RE4 in the same vain. I don't even know if I would change anything either...but RE4 with remade 4K textures and HDR would be a thing of beauty.

BackFire
I'm kinda surprised they're doing an RE3 one, from what I remember it wasn't terribly popular. A full blown remake of RE4, though, would sell like gangbusters.

Ridley_Prime
RE3 I think became more popular with time, even if it wasn't as popular initially, and the Nemesis, especially at this point is a beloved series/horror icon.

An RE4 remake would not be necessary in the same vein with how well it aged comparatively, especially with all the re-releases of it that Capcom spams every gen, but if they go for it, then whatever.

BackFire
True, I imagine a full blown RE4 remake would probably happen next gen to take advantage of additinal graphical prowess. Also I was a really big fan of the first person viewpoint of RE7 and would like some remakes to at least offer that as an option.

Impediment
Why NOT remake RE3: Nemesis?!

This is very good news!

Yes, if RE4 was remade similar to how Resident Evil was remade on the GameCube...that would be ****ing awesome.

From a gameplay perspective, I don't see how they could improve it but with all the new lighting options and 4k textures, it would be a dream.

Are they going to make a new Resident Evil? I don't remember RE7 doing particularly well (or well enough for Capcom).

If they fixed the movement controls alone, that would be enough for me.

I consider myself to be a pretty big RE3 fan, so yes please. A re3make is a day 1 purchase for me.

Ridley_Prime
Already pre-ordered the RE2make. Not sleeping on it like I did with RE7.

Smasandian
I just remember that Capcom was disappointed with RE7 sales. Similar to how Square Enix has been disappointed with Tomb Raider and Deus Ex sales.

Even though they sold millions.

With the same awful controls? Forget it

REmake was legitimately better than the original game, one of the best remakes of all time tbh. If REmake 2 follows suit, then I have no problem with a third.

They say 4:3 and the vintage sd look are coming back. And everyones buying up retro hardware now.

And here I am, never having stopped playing a PS1. CDTM: Ahead of the curve.

Smasandian
Haha...its not coming back.

A few people who think they are professional gamers think it's actually better to play in 4:3 ration but it's just a placebo effect.

With how big a success REmake 2 is being, an RE3 Remake is so definitely happening.

Come. Let us sing the song of my people in celebration.

They should do a crossover with Gears of War. Marcus Phoenix and chainsaw Lancer vs Nemesis.

They must be reusing a fair bit of assets to get it out next year, though that's not that surprising given what they did with RE3 back in the day.

Eurogamer has sources claiming the same. Dusk Golem also claims it has actually had a longer development time than RE2 did. Hopefully it's all legit and they announce it soon. I really don't want to wait a year for it to come out.

Arachnid1
Holy shit, it's time everyone! It hasn't been announced, but we have a few leaked images.

Not liking the new design for Nemesis if it is legit.

Arachnid1
I like his more elongated face, teeth, and smaller eye. Less human proportions make him look more monstrous. I also like how the skin looks stretched over his head and is barely hanging on at the jaw.

The nose is a little weird, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

What really bugs me, weirdly, is the missing open wound going up his face. The staples are there which means the cut is too, but you cant even see the muscle underneath. IMO that was one of the most recognizable parts of him.

https://cache.escapistmagazine.com/2019/11/nemesis-resident-evil-3-800x400.jpg

Otherwise, he looks more menacing that ever IMO. Also, I think some changes were necessary. I'm too desensitized to OG Neme. The dude has been the post boy for RE since RE3.

Nemesis X
Nothing could've prepared me for Nemesis with a nose. It looks so distracting! Ack! The rest of him looks great though.

And Carlos. Is there a reason he looks like a Rambo-fied Shaggy Rogers ready to raid the herb stash?

I was gonna say something about Jill but her in-game appearence actually looks normal compared to what's on the cover.

Here's a more cleaned up Jill:

Also, here is a track from the game pulled from the PS store. I like it. Foreboding as hell.

Also, RE3 will unfortunately not be at TGAs, unless Keighley is just trying to be secretive or something.

More and more rumors. The game is apparently going to be revealed at State of Play next week (Tuesday or Wednesday). I don't recognize the source, but a lot of people seem to consider it "trustworthy".

Playstation tweeted about RE. Also, that State of Play leak also leaked the SOP date before it was officially announced. We're getting a trailer 2-3 days.

The Resident Evil 3 announcement event (State of Play what??) is in 13 hours. Here's a stream with the countdown.

Game looks good, Still not sold on Nemesis's new design

have they said that the game will have the choose your own adventure style decision's back?

-Pr-
RE3 for years was a favourite of mine, so really, really can't wait to see what they do with this. The hospital, Jill's illness (which looks like it's getting expanded), the diner, the newspaper office, the Russians... Hell, I wonder if the QTE decisions will return in some way.

Kazenji
Also i remember in the original game where they gave you the option to fight Nemesis or run away, If you stood your ground you would get rewarded with weapon parts on hard mode

wonder if that is also coming back too.

Arachnid1
Just got my collectors edition preordered. That Jill statue is going to look great next to my Leon one. Hopefully they start putting out a full collection of other characters.

emporerpants
That voice acting though...lol, I love it.

ArtificialGlory
The incredibly early release date worries me somewhat. Does Capcom have a bunch of ubermensch working for them to crank out a triple-A title this rapidly?

Smasandian
I'm guessing this was in production for quite awhile. Most likely during RE2 remake development.

This would be the third game using RE Engine (RE7, RE2 remake) so they probably have a good grasp on it.
This is a remake so it should be quicker than starting everything from scratch.
They could probably reuse a lot of the work from RE2 remake as well...

But I wouldn't be surprised this gets pushed back.

-Pr-
The original Resident Evil 3 didn't come out long after RE2 and used a LOT of the same assets, so I figure, along with being in development like Smasandian said, it's not like they're making a brand new game from scratch.

Arachnid1

Its a new and separate studio that worked on it alongside RE2. The RE2 dev team also switched over to it after RE2 finished. The multiplayer was also outsourced to a different company. All that with reused assets? Easy to see

And the word is they intended to release both RE2 and 3 as a single game, but I don't quite believe it. Content wise would have made sense but it'd also be terrible business.

Nemesis X
Capcom confirms no multiple endings which means I guess no making quick decisions at all like choosing how to deal with Nemesis in key encounters or jumping out the window of a speeding train like in the original. Bummer. Really like those. Oh yeah and no Mercenary mode either.

Kazenji
So it's not really a full on remake then, More of a re imaging.

He has the rocket launcher too. I'm also assuming he's got the minigun at some point. Dudes got an arsenal. He can also show up at any time (both scripted and unscripted encounters), so I'm assuming his weapon is randomized unless it's tied to where you are in the playthrough.

Did you guys know you can choose different villains to play as the Mastermind in Resistance mode and that they each have a unique B.O.W./obstacle? You can play Annette Birkin who can summon G-Infected William, Alex Wesker who can use plant monsters, Ozwell E Spencer who can raise force fields, etc..

I have good feelings so far, but I can see now that people who weren't happy with Jean's redesign... I'm kind of on their side. She seems so... Generic. And unlikable, though it might just be Carlos being a leering prick that has her that way.

I don't like the physics in general.

Nemesis will get annoying, I don't like his attacks.

Well he is supposed to be a relentless pursuer so I can't fault him for that and most about Nemesis is pretty cool in this reboot (let's not kid ourselves. This is more than a remake). The jumping, the buffs he can give zombies, his roar being an actual attack that stuns you? Awesome.

One thing I do gotta criticize is him not going down like his classic version who would reward you beating him, dropping a weapon or a piece of one. Here in the reboot, he gives ya nada it seems. Maybe that's just the demo.

-Pr-
I don't like how spongey the zombies are, and I hope that Nemesis isn't too cheap. He's already straddling the line imo.

Ridley_Prime
Not quite as spongey as the RE2make zombies though, and I guess your knife is back to being unbreakable, though can't cut up zombies with it the way you could in the previous game or at least as easily, so fair tradeoff.

Can already tell that there won't be much an ammo famine like with 2 either, not that I'm complaining with how many more enemies there typically are here. But yeah, I hope the game's namesake character isn't too cheap compared to like Mr X, even if he is the best tyrant.

Ridley_Prime
I suppose it just means you need to respect his tentacle attack by waiting to dodge it while facing him, and then turn and run? Surely he can't just spam it. Then again, I was locked into his punches one time when I was trying to heal myself with an herb and died, so who knows.

Adam Grimes
The zombos he upgrades have ridiculous range with their tentacles too. But there'll surely be an easy way to deal with all of that for us speedruning amateurs, I imagine.

There's already videos of people knifing Nemmy to death in single combat, so the dodge mechanic is viable. It's just hard as hell to figure out.

On the demo, I personally don't mind the redesign so far. The game isn't meant to be a direct clone but a re-imagining and I'm okay with that. RE3 was my favorite in the series and probably always will be, and I'm happy to see a more realistic appearing, gritty reboot. It's both new and old territory.

Now, the bulletsponge zeds from REmake 2 are garbage. I don't like that design change at all and would rather be given less ammo and have headshots be more viable than the current system. RE2 remake made me annoyed with spongey zeds and the absence of a dodge mechanic, making some areas near guaranteed grab zones. That's not punishing me for lack of skill so much as heavy fake difficulty.

Also, Nemmy is a mixed bag. On one hand, he is far more imposing than he was before. And gruesome to look at. But he's also kind of cheap and I'm not sure how much he'll be pursuing us or not. If it's the majority of the game, that might take away from the quieter moments the original had, and give us just a slogfest of spongey zeds, keys, and chasing Nemmy.

But, if they break it up appropriately, I'm okay with it.

Adam Grimes
Well, I've done Hardcore no damage runs on RE2. Let's see if that's possible in this game. Just a few hours left!

Kazenji
I'm gonna go out later today and pick it up.

You better do.

Enjoying it so far, but there seems to be a weird crashing issue on PC if I leave it on pause for too long. Like, it locks up the PC.

Lol, nope. Not unless you are the master of the dodge. Just Nemmy alone will give you fits on that.

That is a weird issue.

I stayed up until 7 AM EST and finished it. Really really good. They changed a lot about the story and such, but not in a bad way. It certainly was more fun to play and scarier in some ways than RE2 Remake. And Resistance is more fun than I would have thought.

With the Gunpowder does it still have the same thing as the original game, Where if you mix it alot of times eventually you get enhanced Ammo?

Honestly dunno, but if I had to guess, I doubt it. I'm not kidding when I say this game, as enjoyable as I'm finding it, feels very stripped down in comparison to RE2.

Smasandian
How long is it?

I heard its about 6 hours..which is way too short (I know its a remake) but for $79? Way too overpriced.

A lot of people are saying its in the 6-8 hour mark, which I personally think is fine for a Resident Evil game. Though, not for 79 dollars. **** that.

And in a little past halfway point of the game at 3 hours more or less.

I try not to determine a true cost of game because there has been numerous times where I loved a game that was short compared to similar priced game that has a long run time.

However, RE2 was also quite short and I paid full price so what do I know!

Ridley_Prime
Wasnt the original RE3 around as long? The length for this seems par the course for an RE game. There is also the replayability to consider, but I guess they added the Resistance online mode in case people felt the campaign alone wasnt enough to warrant the $60+.

And not every game needs to be super long to be satisfying. After the long burn for me that was the Doom Eternal campaign, I welcome something like this that can be completed in a more timely manner.

Nemesis X
I don't mind it's short but I wish it had the Live Selection back to spice up the replay like RE2 did giving Leon & Claire two story paths.

Kazenji
The game is short?...i wouldn't know i'm not rushing through it.

Adam Grimes
I'm not rushing it either but still it doesn't have a looot of content to offer.

Ridley_Prime
I do like some of the extra unlockables from the menu shop that appears after your first runthrough. RE1 S.T.A.R.S. outfit (which I'm using now for my current runs), the flaming knife, and such. Figures infinite ammo weapons would be there on top of that though.

Wonder how tough the Nightmare and Inferno difficulties will be once I have them unlocked, regardless.

Impediment
I finished the campaign in just over five hours. And that was my first playing on Assisted.

I'm going to play again on Standard and see how long it takes me before I eventually play on Hardcore.

Overall, it's very short but fun and good but not worthy of a $50 price; it should have been $40, IMO.

I really hope DLC is released.

Adam Grimes
Yeah, those are fun additions but I wonder if you can unlock trophies/achievements with them 🤔. I'll do that without them regardless.

Anyway, I love the game 10/10 for me, even if it's a little short.

Impediment
Also, don't bother making acid rounds for the grenade launcher. They suck. Make explosive or flame rounds as they are super effective.

The Hunter Gammas react to acid, but are only in two parts of the entire game.

Adam Grimes
Idk. Acid Rounds were the best way to deal with Birkin3 in RE2 due to it's stun-lock capabilities.

When I finish it tonight I'm gonna start doing some experimenting. 🤔

The unlockable cheat code weapons dont affect trophies/achievements, and even then, Nemesis is still as tough as he usually is when it comes to the boss fight encounters and such whether you use them or not, as I found it. The extra weapons mainly just make the zombies easier to deal with, but doesnt make the Nemesis a joke or anything, surprisingly. I like this challenge, and am only on hardcore at the moment.

Yeah, would probably give it the same rating in hindsight.

Stealth Moose
Back in my day, we paid $60 for brand new triple A title games. Hell, I paid $60 for the original RE3 back when it came out. This game is definitely worth the price of admission, when it comes to quality and effort put into the game. As for length, it's actually pretty similar to original RE games in terms of that. You could beat classic RE titles in the 2-3 hour mark on a replay, about 5-8 total on a first playthrough. Resistance definitely adds a lot of value and I've spent more time in that than anything once I beat it.

Arachnid1
This was incredible disappointing. I'm not even taking about the length either. It wasn't half the game RE2make was IMO. They phoned this one in.

Ridley_Prime
Honestly, even the RE2make was pretty by the numbers IMO as some discussed earlier, much as I enjoyed it. This just felt more of the same except shorter.

Finished with the trophies recently in any case. Nightmare and especially Inferno difficulty was no joke. Had to do the latter twice because of S rank completion time shenanigans, but how much faster and dodgy the Nemesis is as a persuer on the last couple difficulties is legitimately terrifying, especially so on Inferno, as you can only save up to five times total on that difficulty iirc and there are no auto-saves, so if he kills you somewhere as he did me once, you're ****ed and have to start over from the beginning. Right before the boss fights is pretty much the only viable time to save your progress on Inferno.

Stage 3 Nemesis was also a much harder struggle than it was otherwise on the last difficulties, since his giant arm attacks and such will kill you in two or three hits if you don't respect and memorize his attack patterns. That part forced you to master the dodge mechanic as opposed to spamming it.

Suffice to say, Nemmy has still got it as the best Tyrant and one of the best bosses/persuers of the series, and will be remembered as such. I knew this entry would be more divisive because of the length or whatnot, but feel I got my money's worth, though I also get where those disappointed with it are coming from. That said...

It makes me less confident in the event that they follow through with more remakes, even though there's not much left for them to try and modernize besides Code Veronica. RE4 and anything after doesn't need a remake which I'll still stand by.

I used to buy the COD games for their SP campaigns (which were always around 4-5 hours) so I get it.

But most I tend to treat remakes differently than new games because a lot of the major work has already been done. This game should of been 50ish bucks (CAN dollars), not full price.

Or....release both RE2 and RE3 as one package for full price.

As for other remakes....they are going to do it for RE4.....there is no question. It's big business.

Ridley_Prime
Then expect a phoned in/watered down RE4 with some cut content from the original like what we got from 2 and 3 here. erm

Nemesis X
RE2 and 3 had to wait without much support from Capcom for more than a decade before they finally gave them remakes meanwhile RE4 has been constantly shoved down our throats and up our anus with never ending ports. A remake for it now isn't going to excite this generation.

Smasandian
Maybe...

Personally, RE4 is by far one of my favourite games of all times. I would be happy with a complete graphics remake. It would very neat playing RE4 with 4k textures and a brand new lighting system that uses HDR and ray tracing.

I don't even know if they should also allow shooting while moving...because I assume enemy encounters would need to be messed with.

Ridley_Prime
That's fair. It's just as decent as the RE2 and 3 remakes we got were imo, despite lacking some small things from the originals here and there, I just don't see how a remake for 4 would in any way improve upon the original, besides maybe visually, but it's aged fine. It could still happen anyway if they see enough profit for it, but I too question how much excitement there would be for a remake after all the numerous ports 4 has already gotten. Not to mention with how renowned 4 has already been, a remake would have ridiculously high standards to live up to.

But yeah, Code Veronica, let's go.

Ridley_Prime
Yeah. It was good but nothing groundbreaking. In fairness it makes sense to view the RE3make in a similar light. The latter has plenty replay value too if you decide to challenge the hardest difficulties.

RE2 was my goty last year.

This one, while it has a lot going for it, is entirely too short, and a bit cheap at times too.

Ridley_Prime
That's fair, but again, wasn't that kinda how RE3 was viewed when compared to 2 even with the originals? We should've expected as much from this, in which case.

It might have been, I honestly don't remember.

In terms of sheer content though, they've removed so much from the game compared to the original that it honestly feels half-finished to me.

What's sad is that all the building blocks are there. Good graphics, good story, good characters for the most part (Nicholai got done dirty though). It's like they had all the ingredients, but then only baked half of a cake. I mean, the half we got was amazing (particularly the hospital, which i loved), but it's still leaving me feeling like I only got half the cake I paid for.

It being somewhat outsourced can be blamed, sure, but that's a reason, not an excuse.

I've seen one site say that the spiders in the power station keep spawning until you turn the power on and zap everything. Anyone know if this is true?

Just recently turned the power on and went back. Can confirm it's not true. Still see them coming out of walls.

Also they're actually Deimos, not spiders. Else they'd look like giant tarantulas like in the original. I'm surprised at Capcom they didn't bring them back still. I mean could you imagine those things in this engine?

-Pr-
Sorry yeah, I couldn't think of the name.

Yeah I ended up trying it today too. It's my least favourite section of the game.

Nemesis X
On higher difficulties, I can understand why. With enough patience though, the power plant can be sped through without using too much of your inventory. I vehemently refuse wasting crap in there.

Adam Grimes
Tbh the dodge trivializes the game once you get good at it.

Ridley_Prime
Final form Nemesis on the highest difficulties is unpredictable though with his spammy arm attacks and not knowing how many times you have to dodge them (some of which takes timely precision to dodge rather than just spamming the button) before he finally leaves himself open.

Adam Grimes
Yeah, he's fun. I'm looking forward to facing him in Inferno.

Ridley_Prime
Oh, whenever you die on Inferno, choose the go to main menu option and then load whatever your last save was. That way your deaths and time from them doesnt add up on that run and you can more likely finish with S rank. S ranking Inferno is another achievement/trophy on its own.

Adam Grimes
Do you have limited deaths for S rank on Inferno??

Ridley_Prime
Basically, you can't die any to get S on Inferno and hit "continue", or it'll give you a lesser rank in the end. For whatever reason, going to main menu afterward and loading your last save from there will make the game act as though your previous death and time accumulated during that attempt never happened, but only if you do it that way. The clear time required for Inferno S is under 2 hours.

There's the limited number of saves for Inferno too; up to five, so only saving before the boss fights is generally preferred, and there are no auto-saves like on the other difficulties.

Adam Grimes
Well that's nice. I'm going to start my Nightmare run tonight.

Ridley_Prime
So am I the only one hoping they'll include some DLC updates for this game, like maybe the mercenaries mode that was in the original and stuff before they just quickly move on to remaking RE4 to cashin as recent rumors suggest?

The Resistance multiplayer for this will be getting continued support at least; is getting Jill as a survivor this week and another one next month, June will apparently have a new map, etc, so that's cool.

But give the main game more of that kind of continued support/added content too. With how not everyone's happy with the base game here (to put it lightly), I don't want the RE3make to be remembered this badly. Maybe they'll increase fan confidence in an RE4make if they give this remake the rest of what it deserves first.

Adam Grimes
Yeah, they should give us Carlos in the CT and some costumes for free at least.

I enjoyed the game, but it's very unambitious and doesn't really build on anything from 2. Also extremely short. Overall, not really as good an experience as 2 was.

And not even a random generated Tyrant to hunt your ass. Making Nemesis completely linear and not like Mr X is so stupid. They still make him do some pretty awesome stuff here but hot dang.

cdtm
Agreed, what a disappointment. thumb up

And it didn't have to build on anything from 2 since both games have markedly different goals.

RE2 Remake was the first of its kind, RE3 doesn't have that excuse. It could have built on what was established in the previous game, and done something with Nemesis hunting you, but nothing of the sort happened. It's a very straight forward, linear action game that's about 4 hours long. Enjoyable, but I expected more.

Not to mention alot of the area's that were cut out, Wondering if they're saving it for DLC.

Don't forget about the Grave Digger boss too. I can get why some may have found it annoying in the original but that's no excuse to not bring it back and make the fight interesting this time.

Yeah I was kinda put off by that, don't know why that wasn't put in.

Guess someone at Capcom felt bad for him and thought they'd make him go out somewhat a hero and not a total wimp. That's nice and all but Brad played a big role giving Nemesis his iconic debut. This was my first letdown.

Kazenji
They Should've scrapped Project Resistance and put 100% focus on RE 3, Rather then divide it up between the two.

Ridley_Prime
I don't blame the Resistance mode that much. You could've had that while also giving RE3 the rest of the content that it deserved from the getgo, but they simply didn't go there, which makes content updates for this RE3 all the more necessary now.

Oh, from what I played of the tutorial bits of Resistance, it's actually pretty fun, like controlling zombies or Mr X depending on whose side you're on.
