Resident Evil 3 Remake's Map Sounds Far More Impressive Than the Original

Resident Evil 3 Remake's Map Sounds Far More Impressive Than the Original

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

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

Like Borderlands , Conker's Bad Fur Day went through some major revisions that made it a much more unique and arguably more interesting game. Rare's original vision for it was that of a typical, kid-friendly 3D platformer in the vein of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie , called Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tales: Conker 64 . These early versions of the game even had Conker's girlfriend Berri as a playable character in stages that featured strategy gameplay, as well as split-screen co-op for the st

Another feature that will be returning in Resident Evil 3 is the explosive items that are scattered all 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 tears of The kingdom shrine guide electrical generators, but it is interesting to see whether Capcom will add more of these explosive items in the rem

Capcom has had quite the resurgence lately, coming off huge wins from the success of Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter World, but an even larger contributor to Capcom's run has come from the Resident Evil series. Both Resident Evil 2 Remake and more recently Resident Evil 3 Remake have seen massive success, showing that the franchise that many fans decided had lost its way was finally making a comeback, even if some are fully satisfied with RE3 . It seems Capcom wishes to keep the ball rolling, as reports have begun popping up that Resident Evil 4 is on deck for the next overh

During her iconic comeback in 1999's Resident Evil 3 , players saw a hardened Jill Valentine. Her opening monologue alone showed her desire to take down Umbrella and bring justice to the deaths of her S.T.A.R.S. teammates. In this game, Capcom did a great job in portraying her as a member of an elite police squad, which was obvious in her more confident attitude in dealing with the Raccoon City outbreak , her reluctance to team up with the U.B.C.S., and the way she singlehandedly defeated Nemesis. In succeeding games, Capcom remained consistent with its portrayal of Jill, and many players knew her as a reliable partner to her comrades, but a nightmare to her enem

It is worth remembering that Carlos and Mikhail are mercenaries hired by the Umbrella Corporation , which in Jill's eyes, makes them her sworn enemies. Of course, apart from Jill knowing that Umbrella is behind the Raccoon City disaster that killed most of the city's inhabitants, she also holds a grudge to the company for causing the deaths of her teammates. So at face value, Jill's tone with Carlos and Mikhail does appear mean-spirited, however, it does make sense given the context of the situat

600The Giant Moth was created by Umbrella as a Bio Organic Weapon using the T-Virus , but was ultimately considered a failure because its weight and wingspan could not allow them to fly beyond a low-altitude hover above the gro

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
