In fact, in a few ways, the gameplay actually feels better than the RE2 Remake, depending on what you’re looking for. The RE engine is a powerhouse and Resident Evil 3 is my favorite example of it so far.īut this beauty pageant winner doesn’t lack substance. And you cannot convince me that they didn’t give Carlos Oliveria that doofy haircut for any other reason than to show off their top-notch hairtech. From the viscera you see on each and every zombie to how they’ve altered Nemesis’ design to make him look like even more of a barely contained monstrosity, RE3 nails just about everything it goes for visually. That focus on detail in the graphics and animation is apparent throughout the entire game. Here, they’ve taken a minuscule detail that most people likely won’t notice and made sure that it feels as lifelike as possible. I’m not an expert on oscillating fans in video games, so, while I’m sure others have done it before, this was the first time I’ve seen it.Įither way, the point is that Capcom’s attention to detail is incredible. As the fan moves back and forth, you notice that when it points toward the board, all the notes and string sway in the breeze. Next to the board, there’s an oscillating fan that’s been left on, presumably to beat that late September heat. Imagine the conspiracy board from the Pepe Silvia scene from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but with zombies and secret buildings owned by a pharmaceutical company. On one wall of her apartment, she's filled this massive board with clippings, notes, and connections about Umbrella Corp. I mean sure, Jill’s model is absolutely stunning, but what I really want to talk about is a blink-and-miss-it moment at the very start of the game.Īfter the opening cutscene, you wake up inside Jill Valentine’s apartment. It’s not just that RE3 looks beautiful (and it does), it’s the detail Capcom has put into everything. The first thing that really stands out to me is the visuals. That said, this game is an absolute must-play whether you’re a fan of the series or not. However, while many of the designer’s decisions help to make the game better, there were enough niggles that kept the RE3 from completely surpassing its predecessor. Now, don’t take that to mean Resident Evil 3 is a bad remake. Well, the short answer is that they didn’t. ![]() But, given the totality with which the RE team knocked RE2’s remake out of the park, how could they possibly hope to top it with RE3? X, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we needed to witness how the stalking mechanics would evolve with Nemesis. Both games are fan-favorites that deserved the update and, after seeing what the team did with Mr. With the success of RE2, it was a surprise to literally no one when Capcom revealed they would remake Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Fortunately, Resident Evil 2’s remake was a masterclass in how to update an old classic for modern audiences and would have been my Game of the Year in 2019 if not for the sublime Judgment. So, when Capcom announced the Resident Evil 2 remake a few years ago, I was ecstatic to finally play the games that had evaded me for so long. ![]() Granted, I knew the basic story from the novelizations, but never got the chance to play them myself. The obsession was real.Īnyways, because I came to the series relatively late and never owned a PlayStation One, the two series entries that always evaded me were Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. So, he sat in the other room and I just described the movie to him. She finally relented, on the condition that I didn’t let my brother watch. I was so into the story of Resident Evil that when the first movie came out, I begged my mom to rent it. More than anything, the original game’s lore stuck with me, so I quickly went out and bought all of the S.D. I vividly remember staying up late into the night, devouring the Resident Evil remake on GameCube. Both Jill and Nemesis star in Dead by Daylight’s Resident Evil crossover.The Resident Evil franchise has long been one of my favorite series in gaming. This iconic rivalry would later feature in other Resident Evil-related spinoffs, including the 2004 movie Resident Evil Apocalypse. Amidst the ensuing zombie menace, Jill is hunted by the eponymous Nemesis, which the player would gradually learn to overcome as the game progressed. Her penchant for survival would be the driving story element behind her standalone game, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, which followed Jill’s ‘last escape’ from the zombie-ridden Raccoon City. ![]() Establishing herself as the ‘Master of Unlocking’, Jill would have a much easier time navigating the horrors of Spencer Mansion with her trusty lock pick and standard issue firearm, whereas fellow co-star Chris Redfield was left with nothing but a knife in the game’s opening. Jill Valentine made her debut in the series' first entry Resident Evil in 1996.
