Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

Although Resident Evil 3 is not a bad remake, it is important to acknowledge that it's not perfect either. Similar to its original counterpart, the game's main campaign is relatively short , due to the fact that the remake did not include any additional storylines to the game. Sure, UBCS member Tyrell may have been given an expanded role in the game, but Brad Vickers died too soon, Dario Rosso's appearance is mostly just for the sake of having him there, and players didn't even get to meet and know the civilians that Jill and Carlos fought so hard to res

Since the Skate series isn't as dated and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 had the massive leap in gameplay, it makes logical sense to recreate this game . A reenvisioning of the game could add modes like online multiplayer and other cool featu

It can be argued that this hack-and-slash role-playing game is still relevant two decades after its release. The servers are still active because of people returning to play through the game once more. Plenty of demand makes a Diablo II remake pivo

To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2's horror elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr

Whether or not they agree that revisiting Resident Evil 4 should be the next major step for the series going forward, nobody can deny that Capcom 's work over the last few years is quickly ushering in an incredibly bright future for the franchise going forward. Here's to hoping that Resident Evil 3 will be yet another stellar stepping stone to more incredible Resident Evil games in the future, whether that leads to a remake of the fourth game or a new title entir

This game has consistently ranked near the top of video game lists for being one Alignment of Circles puzzle the best video games of all time. Half-Life 2 saw an unprecedented leap in graphics and gameplay when it released way back in 2

Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company's love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series' formula and producing utterly exceptional produ

Furthermore, when Jill jumps outside of her apartment in the trailer, one can quickly observe the Liquor Store in the background. In the original Resident Evil games, the liquor store was never in Resident Evil 3 , but only in the second game and in Operation Raccoon City . This could also entail a more expansive map of Raccoon City to explore in its entirety, or close to. Then again, it could be a different liquor store entirely, despite the store's title having similarly red lights for its letter

While the trailer does not confirm that the gameplay within the game will take place at an earlier date, the clues do point to a more in-depth introduction giving us insight into the city's descent to chaos. As far as important dates are concerned, the gameplay in the original Resident Evil 3 began when Jill Valentine left her apartment on September 28, 1998 , a day before Resident Evil 2 's events begin. By September 28, the city was already in desolate ruins, overrun with hordes of zombies and had become lawl

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

One reason we love Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas so much (there's too many to count) is because of its character progression. Players can upgrade skills such as running speed and strength. No other Grand Theft Auto game has incorporated such as revolutionary system—and it may never happen ag

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 games 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
