Why Resident Evil 3 Is Not A Bad Remake

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, making Brad's death more meaningful as compared to the original g


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


One look at Capcom’s projects in-progress also backs up these claims. The company has just unveiled plans to enter into the mobile market with gusto , but rather than focusing on brand new intellectual properties, instead some of the first mobile titles of this new strategy will be based on beloved franchises such as Mega Man and Monster Hunter . Meanwhile, fans after a brand new and full Mega Man release are still left wanting – and have been so for years


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


Away from mobile development, Capcom is also not necessarily sticking to new guns. The company revealed that Resident Evil 4 , 5 , and 6 would be making their way to both PS4 and Xbox One , receiving a release for the most recent console generation. Capcom is looking even further to its past, too, with a full remake of Resident Evil 2 currently in the wo


It’s certainly a concern, particularly when such care seems to be going towards the remakes and side projects that the company has in store. After all, Capcom has confirmed that fan feedback for Resident Evil 6 is helping to improve the development of the Resident Evil 2 remake . Although that's certainly a positive sign for the remake, given the ignominious reception that Resident Evil 6 received, one may wonder why that feedback is not being used for an entirely new ti


Another criticism that Resident Evil 3 remake keeps on getting is that the game is heavily reliant on action-heavy sequences. It is worth remembering that Resident Evil 3 has always been more action-oriented than Resident Evil 2 and the original Resident Evil . But this is not to say that Resident Evil 3 remake is not survival horror, yes it does have its intense and Donkey Kong Bananza fast-paced moments, but there are still horror elements in the remake to balance it all


Resident Evil 4 , while arguably not up to the technical standards of many modern experiences, is far from as obsolete as the franchise's first handful of entries. The over-the-shoulder camera, third-person aiming, and overall format utilized in the reimagining of Resident Evil 2 was, after all, first established throughout 4's sensational rebranding of the series back in 2005. In fact, one of the remake's most critically acclaimed features was its faithful resurrection of the systems and mechanics first established in the fourth game, with many citing Resident Evil 2's remake as a return to form for the franchise's classic formula. With its design emulating Resident Evil 4 so closely, it begs the question of whether a remake would seem unnecessary; almost acting as more of a visual touch up than a full reimagining of the original ti


Whether or not Capcom can regain momentum remains to be seen, but it would be a shame to see such a great powerhouse of the industry go stale. However, it the company as a whole is not careful, that's exactly where it could end up. At the end of the day, i f Capcom does not start producing these classic games once more, then there will not be any great games to remake in the fut


Following Sony's most recent State of Play event, it's finally official that Resident Evil 3 will be seeing a modern reimagining in early April next year. The iconic game has been the only thing on the minds of franchise veterans since the rampant success of the Resident Evil 2 remake back in February, and while many forecasted that the game would be a major ways off, it turns out Capcom has its finger on the pulse when delivering the next big Resident Evil experie
