Capcom Needs to Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

In the trailer, it appears that Jill is running around inside her apartment building attempting to escape from the Nemesis as it stalks her. This provides more key insight into Resident Evil 3 's storyline elements which were left out of the original, which skips the moments that transpire between Jill's preparations to leave her home and the moment that skips ahead to her jumping out the front door of the building. We can assume that this part of Resident Evil 3 's new trailer provides us direct insight into what happened inside Jill's apartment in those few crucial and breathtaking mome

One of the most iconic villains of the Resident Evil franchise, and one that defines Resident Evil 3 in particular, the Nemesis will of course be making his return. The Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 will have a slightly new look , though, which may take some getting used

In 2015, Capcom put out an HD port of _ Resident Evil _ on those respective platforms. Though it is not a remake from the ground up, that game reignited a desire among _ Resident Evil _ fans for Capcom to finally produce some remakes of the beloved franchise. Later that year, Capcom randomly announced that it would start production on a remake of _ Resident Evil 2. _ It seemed like Capcom Remake was going to have something special in a couple of years. From 2018 to now, Capcom has made great successes in _ Monster Hunter World, _ the remake of _ Resident Evil 2, _ and _ Devil May Cry 5 _ among others, selling through several million units e

It appears there may more content in Resident Evil 3's remake drawing us into the overall events that transpired before September 28, in the days leading up to Raccoon City's downfall, as opposed to the original game which more or less jumps right into the chaos. It can still be assumed that the transition from a city on high alert to a city in absolute anarchy happens pretty quick from the date of Sunday, September 27, 1998, to the evening of September 28, 1998, when Resident Evil 3's gameplay begins and Jill exits her apartment build

All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying

Resident Evil 3 Remake 's version of the Grave Digger has changed quite a bit too. The creature's mouth is now much larger than it was previously, but actually seems to sport fewer teeth. Though that may seem like it would make the Grave Digger less scary, in reality the fleshy interior of this beast and the way its entire face unfolds is the stuff of nightmare. Not much has been shown of this experiment gone wrong aside from this one screenshot, though, so it is difficult to say what else about the creature developers might have chan

Without a shadow of a doubt, Capcom is a part of video game royalty. The company has been home to a number of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, bringing revolutionary titles to a wide variety of genres, from fighting games all the way through to survival horror. The publisher has solidified its place in the market through decades’ worth of quality, earning itself a place in the history of gam

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

For those unaware, Resident Evil 3: Remake isn't just a remaster with better graphics, but a completely reimagined version of the game. As with any remake, it is important that developers reinvigorate the beloved game with new and more modern ideas and mechanics, but equally important that they avoid changing too much so as to step on the toes of the original. So far, Resident Evil 3 Remake seems to be doing this well, as is evidenced by the spot-on recreations of its many, harrowing monst

Furthermore, there are a few clues which may reveal a much more expansive version of Raccoon City's outdoor maps to explore. For example, the Collector's Edition of Resident Evil 3 's remake comes with an entire map of Raccoon City in detail. It also states it is a double sided map. While nothing is certain, one side could be a version of Downtown Raccoon City, and the other could be a more detailed map of Uptown, both of which were the outdoor maps in the original game in a much smaller size at the t
