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
Now, an article from the Official Xbox Magazine recently spilled some pretty juicy information about the upcoming game. Unfortunately, the details released by the magazine sparked confusion among fans given that the article made it appear that Nemesis would be able to break into saferooms . Capcom Remake quickly clarified to several news outlets that they tyrant would be unable to enter these safe havens, but there will be areas in the game that will have a typewriter and an item box that Nemesis would be able to access, similar to the RPD’s main hall in Resident Evil 2 remake . However, to ensure that the room that players are in is safe, they would have to listen for the save room theme to p
In the original game, zombies were not as threatening as other enemies in Resident Evil 3. They were slow, easy to outrun, and could be killed by just a handful of bullets. Although they were still slow and could easily be outrun in Resident Evil 2 remake, zombies are just more bulletproof even when shooting them in the head. This is because of the fact that Resident Evil 2 and 3 implement a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective, which makes it easier to land headshots unlike with the classic games’ fixed camera angles. Of course, if remake zombies were as fragile as their original counterparts, then clearing them out in the game would be a breeze given that the over-the-shoulder perspective offers better visibility to play
Yet again, however, it’s not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati
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
In the world of business, it’s all about the money. This rings true with video games, too! Although Code: Veronica was able to deliver within the 3 million unit range, it still doesn’t compare to the financial success of RE4 . But in all fairness, Resident Evil 4 was ported to too many devices to count on hand. Although estimates may vary, the number of units RE4 sold could fall somewhere within the 8-to-9 million range, if we include the downsized mobile ports, the latest Switch port, and the PC versions along with the earlier console versi
Code: Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000. This game is about five years older than RE4 which shows with the game’s much more dated graphics. Meanwhile, RE4 has gotten remaster after remaster since its 2005 release. At the same time, Code: Veronica hasn’t seen any graphical improvements since the HD re-release in 2
Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil’s newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake’s release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it’s also worth considering whether the third game’s groundbreaking sequel, Resident Evil 4 , would – or more importantly even should – receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 an
Throughout Resident Evil’s 24-year history, the franchise has produced a cast of amazing characters that have since become beloved icons in the video game industry. Of course, while every Resident Evil fan will have their own favorite character, it is without a doubt that, despite a long absence, Jill Valentine remains to be one of the most popular Resident Evil characters of all time. In just a week from today, Jill Valentine is making a return with the release of the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which chronicles her desperate escape from Raccoon City and the relentless pursuit of Neme
