Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

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

The first three monsters on this list are existing creatures from other Resident Evil games, and headlining it are Crimson Head Zombies which were introduced in 2002's remake zelda tears of the Kingdom Recreation Resident Evil . Although these creatures started as plain old zombies, Crimson Heads are mutations of zombies and are faster, deadlier, and imposes a greater threat to players. In the Resident Evil remake , Crimson Heads are made when players take down regular zombies but are unable to decapitate their heads or burn their bodies. As a result, these zombies would resurrect once again but with sharp claws and the ability to run after the player. In terms of gameplay, the Crimson Heads made resource management even more difficult in Resident Evil given that taking down zombies doesn't just cost players bullets, but also gasoline, which is required to burn the corpses of zombies. It is currently unclear why Crimson Heads did not make further appearances after the Resident Evil remake. While it would be cool to see them again in Resident Evil 3 , their appearance in the game is unlik

Another enemy from the original Resident Evil 2, which was left out of its remake, was the Giant Spider. In the case of Resident Evil 2 , these were not actually experiments created by Umbrella, but the natural result of spiders that had been accidentally infected by the T-Virus when Dr. Birkin caused its release into the underground sewers. They could be found in the sewers below Raccoon City during the break

Of course, it would be easier for Capcom to just use the same formula that made Resident Evil 2 remake successful for Resident Evil 3 . However, the studio is aware of the fact that sequels should evolve from its predecessor, and this is exactly why Capcom introduced these changes to the remake . Towards the end of Resident Evil 2 remake , players will notice that the pace of the game is more intense and action-heavy, and Resident Evil 3 remake picks up exactly from that point. Looking at both games as a whole, Resident Evil 3 perfectly compliments Resident Evil 2 , which is what a good sequel should

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

However, will Resident Evil 3 remake only stick to monsters that were seen in the original 1999 title? Or will it introduce new monsters from other Resident Evil games or even creatures that were never seen before? Although there is no way to know until Resident Evil 3's release to know for sure, here is a list of some monsters that we think would be great additions to Resident Evil 3 rema

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

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 locations 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

This may also include drastically changed versions of old enemy types, given that Plant 42 in Resident Evil 2 Remake was remade entirely different from the original. In the original Resident Evil 2 game, Plant 42 was more human-sized and had a humanoid appearance. In Resident Evil 2 Remake, it was a giant, yet dormant experiment. It infected zombies, making them even more deadly and host
