In the end, Resident Evil 3 remake is not perfect. It has a lot of drawbacks and maybe the changes that Capcom introduced are too drastic for hardcore players, but it is by no means a bad remake. Resident Evil 3 may not be for everyone, especially to those who are looking for a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 1999 game. But nostalgia aside, the latest reimagining of Resident Evil 3 offers an intense and scary experience that allows players to experience the same story but in a different way, which is what a good remake should
The excitement for the remake of Resident Evil 3 is at an all time high as the first trailer was finally released on today’s State of Play livestream , confirming an April 3, 2020 release date on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There are some key takeaways fans can gather from the trailer and everything that has been revealed today, which may clue us in to what changes, insights, and additions the storyline of Resident Evil 3’s remake could ent
The Licker Zombie appears to be a regular zombie with a Licker’s head and iconic tongue. This creature is shown in concept art that can be unlocked in Resident Evil 2 remake where the licker zombie was supposed to appear in. The origins of the Licker Zombie remains unclear, but it is possible that these monsters are Lickers that still haven’t fully transformed. Another popular theory surrounding these monsters is that they are the result of Lickers infecting a zombie host. It is also unclear why this monster never made it to Resident Evil 2 remake given that its appearance alone looks terrifying, but it would be awesome to see this monster come to life in Resident Evi
Perhaps this new scene in the trailer is some possible insight or a cue that the game may expand upon the events that transpired while Jill was on standby and what Carlos may have been doing in the meantime. Or at least we can hope. Again, there is no way to confirm whether this would include gameplay elements, but certainly more exposure of the storyline into the events that unfolded during that period seems reasona
Also shown in the unlocked concept art (above left) is another enemy that never made it to the final cut of the game, known as the Licker Zombie. It looks like a humanoid version of the four-legged Licker, or a zombie with a Licker’s head, and similarly clawed hands. Given that Lickers are mutant humans infected with a particular strain of the T-Virus which can only be obtained from an already-mutated Zombie (known as the V-ACT process), it is possible that the Licker Zombie would have been a Licker that did not fully mutate yet and was only in its early sta
But to balance it all out, and to retain the feel of previous Resident Evil games, Resident Evil 3 still has classic survival-horror elements as seen in the police station and hospital sequences of the game. When players get to control Carlos in the remake, they are taken back to the RPD and almost immediately, the overall vibe of the game changes from high-paced intense action to the claustrophobic nature of Resident Evil 2 . The same applies to the hospital and sewers part of the game, where players find themselves in a confined space, making every zombie, licker, and hunter, much more terrify
According to Capcom’s producers , every aspect of the graphics or art has been created with gameplay in mind. This is clear in the change in Jill’s outfit from the 1999 version. This remake has her outfitted in attire that would let a person more convincingly maneuver like a police officer in a zombie outbreak. As such, very _ Resident Evil 3 _ character has had some changes done to them from the original version in some form or anot
The pre-order bonus for Resident Evil 3 that comes with all editions physical or digital is a costume pack featuring alternate outfits for Jill and Carlos inspired by their original 1999 appearances. Additionally, pre-ordering the digital version on PSN comes with a theme for the PS4 system menu. As of yet, the Xbox One version of the game is not available to pre-purchase through Amazon, but is available at Gamestop and Best
Of course, while it may be disappointing to have these locations removed, it made Jill and Carlos’ route to their escape more realistic than the original. Both the park and the graveyard only existed because they led to the dead factory, which is Umbrella’s disposal facility . However, having such a facility that conducts illegal operations above ground is unrealistic, which is why a highly-sophisticated lab beneath the Hospital, which is also owned by Umbrella, makes more sense in the grand scheme of thi
So is Resident Evil 3 a bad remake, focusing on the idea of what a remake should do? Well, the answer to that question is no: it’s actually a really good re-imagining of a classic game. By now, Resident Evil fans should know that Capcom hates to be predictable. It is worth remembering that the remakes of both Resident Evil and Resident Evil Switch 2 Zelda Notes were more or less faithful to their original counterparts, but with additional storylines and slightly changed mechanics to give veteran players a new experience. Sure, it would have been easier for Capcom to adopt the same formula to Resident Evil 3 , but the studio decided to take a different approach, resulting in an even better sequel for the following reas
