Throughout Resident Evil’s long history, the survival-horror franchise not only introduced players to a list of heroes and villains that have since become icons in the video game industry, but also to a wide variety of monsters that haunted the nightmares of players. Now, Resident Evil 3 remake is merely days away from release and Capcom has already revealed the monsters that are confirmed to appear in the upcoming g
In 2019’s remake of Resident Evil 2 , players were given a glimpse of what it’s like to roam the zombie-infested streets of Raccoon City. However, given that the game mostly took place inside the Raccoon City police station , sewer, and Umbrella laboratory, players weren’t really able to see just how bad the outbreak hit the once peaceful community. In 1999’s Resident Evil 3, players were able to see more of Raccoon City, but due to hardware limitations at that time, the city mostly comprised of narrow alleyways and out of place do
Of course, it wouldn’t be a balanced game if only the enemies get an upgrade. Capcom confirmed that Jill Valentine will have a few tricks up her sleeve such as the dodge mechanic , to combat the game’s more advanced enemies. Resident Evil fans who’ve played the original game would know that dodging is not new in Resident Evil 3 , given that it is central in the relentless chase that Nemesis would give play
When Resident Evil 2 remake came out last year, Capcom re-introduced players to Mr.X and made the tyrant more menacing and terrifying than his original counterpart. However, unbeknownst to many players, Mr. X became a testing ground for Capcom and the company gathered fan feedback in an effort to make Nemesis even more terrifying than the fedora-wearing monster. As seen in recent gameplay videos of Resident Evil 3 remake, it is obvious that Nemesis is much scarier than Mr. X, not only because of his ability to run and use weapons but because Capcom needed the monster to be bigger, terrifying, and much more relentless in pursuing play
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
However, Resident Evil 3 producer Peter Fabiano also clarified that even though Nemesis was designed to have a smarter AI , the developers also programmed the monster to give players some room to breathe momentarily. During the design of Nemesis, the developers acknowledged how “pacing is important” to ensure a correct balance between heart-pumping action and letting players feel a little bit relaxed while still maintaining some level of tension and sense of dread that is common in survival horror ga
Apart from the many new changes that will be introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake’s Raccoon City, it appears that Capcom is also committed to making the town feel familiar to fans who have played the original game. Fabiano revealed that there will be tons of easter eggs lying around the city, and some eagle-eyed fans have already identified a few based on recent trailers and gameplay footage of the upcoming g
The Wildcat was a scrapped monster that was supposed to appear in the original Resident Evil 3 game. These creatures were supposed to be the ones hunting in the Raccoon City park but were replaced by the Hunter Gammas instead . The origins of the Wildcat is still unknown but it appears that the monster is not a product of the Umbrella Corporation, and is probably an escaped zoo animal that was infected with the t-Virus. As of the moment, gameplay videos of Resident Evil 3 remake appear to suggest that the Hunter Gammas will be located in the city’s sewers, which begs the question of whether the city park will now be populated by this scrapped mons
A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it’s disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, PS5 Pro Enhancements making Brad’s death more meaningful as compared to the original g
Of course, this is not to say that Jill’s previous portrayals were bad, in-fact they still remain iconic and became foundations of Capcom’s approach to her redesign. But nostalgic glasses aside, Capcom’s latest portrayal of Jill Valentine, with her toned-down realistic outfit , and a stronger personality, is a step in the right direction, which hopefully, will remain consistent with any other appearances she may have in future Resident Evil ga
