DecemberWhy Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake
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
As cool as Nemesis is, it wouldn't quite be a Resident Evil game without zombies, and Resident Evil 3 Remake is full of them. Taking place in Raccoon City after the outbreak , it is no wonder that Jill and the player run into their fair share of zombies during the game. Visually, there's not much to talk about here; a rose by any other name is still... a zombie. That said, the image of a zombie has been modernized compared to the original. The image below shows zombies as they were for the original game, with full heads of hair and bloody, pale faces. Compared to the much more rotted corpses seen above, the difference is quite profo
Now, the subsequent creatures that are featured on this list are monsters that were developed by Capcom for other Resident Evil games that did not make the final cut. Headlining this list is the ultra-creepy Spider-Man, which is a monster design that was rejected during the development of the Resident Evil 0 . The monster appears to be a giant tarantula spider that is taking over a human host. The monster design surfaced during the Developer Diary video of Resident Evil 0 Remaster , and while unlikely, it is interesting to see this design come to life in Resident Evi
Remaking Resident Evil 4 poses an interesting opportunity for Capcom, an undertaking very different in comparison to remaking the classic Resident Evil titles. Considering the technical gap from the original PlayStation to current-gen consoles is gigantic, Resident Evil 2 and 3 received a lot of love for their respective reimaginings. The fourth Resident Evil game is still widely considered a relatively modern entry in the series, despite showing its age in several aspects. Capcom's development team could strike the perfect balance of new and old in giving one of the best Resident Evil titles a proper reimagin
Of course, some may argue that Carlos and Mikhail are mere mercenaries of Umbrella and are not responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak. While that argument is valid, it is worth pointing out that in today's Jill Valentine-centered trailer , it was revealed that Jill herself realized this later in the game, and even started to apologize to Carlos. The trailer also showed how Jill and Carlos's relationship improved, and how they started to rely on each other to survive the outbreak. This goes to show that after realizing that Carlos was not deeply involved with Umbrella, Jill started treating him like a partner, showing that her sarcastic remarks earlier in the game were not made for the sake of appearing mean-spiri
Additionally, the significant changes that Capcom introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake allowed players to experience the same story but in a different way. Unlike in Resident Evil 2 , Capcom was more liberal in shuffling around the sequences of events in Resident Evil 3 . A good number of All Flux Construct Locations Totk from the original game such as the park, the graveyard, and the dead factory were removed in favor of a more expansive hospital and the introduction of NES
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
From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there's not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 's experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original game. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it'd be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil
Ever since their introduction in Resident Evil 2 , Lickers became one of the most feared and most popular enemies in the Resident Evil franchise. Similar to Crimson Heads, Lickers are mutations from severely injured zombies, but this mutation is caused by a separate t-Virus strain. Lickers are known for their large exposed brains and extremely long tongue. Although these creatures do not have the ability to see, they are extremely sensitive to sound and are able to hunt their prey just by listening to their movements. Although Lickers were present in Raccoon City during the Outbreak, Jill Valentine wasn't able to encounter them, but it will be interesting to see whether these monsters will be present in the remake, especially inside the police stat
