100% Honest Resident Evil 3 Review

[@Bawkbasoup]

PLEASE READ THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU COMMENT! :) and remember... even though I'm criticizing doesn't mean I don't love it :)

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

Almost everyone else is saying the same thing. It's a decent game overall but disappointing compared to the RE2 Remake and way too short.

[@19HajimeSaitou91]

Hey bro Bawk -- may be theyll add some free stuff like they did with RE2 survivors

[@DemBigOlEyes]

The classic Jill costume looks FINE as hell in this game. But my biggest gripe is the unnecessary rule 34 moment down at the power plant about an hour into the game. Like, just why? We have enough Jill x Nemesis doujins since the release of the original re3. And for some reason, the devs decided to add that little uh... detail for this ver.

Ghost survivors were DLC so a bit unfair to compare on launch, but it will likely get new stuff after.

[@b6u6f6o]

@@tehtayziez yeah, you're right

[@hackn001]

The 2 scenarios and the extra hunk-tofus were enough for a 60€ RE2R game imo. This look like a good Re, but the right price for what you pay for should be 30€, i would say 40 if there was a mercenaries mode and a campaign a little bit longer!

[@samsonstone500]

I liked none of the bonus content for RE2... hunk & tofu a bit because nostalgia but the ghost survivors were shiiit. I’d rather see good story dlcs for money than a freelc that’s just a challenge mode. Don’t get me wrong I’d like some challenges but I’m more the Story-Dude. In RE2 remake everything was fitted for speedruns and I despise that

[@theobscured_one]

The clocktower was literally across the bridge... i agree with what you said on stream that nemmy shouldve just popped out the water after you crossed and did the tower

[@damnloki5990]

That's how I though

[@StooRoxxAss]

@@damnloki5990 Same here. Nemesis just transformed from a big ass guy to a giant shitload of a dog within 30 seconds. This is Resident Evil 3 and not some RE4-6 shit. Furthermore this is the T-Virus and not the G-Virus. This scene was way over the top and disappointed me really badly!

[@Chizuru94]

​@@StooRoxxAss Well, the parasite has something to do with the G-Virus etc. Since it kinda comes from Lisa, iirc, which was partially how the G-Virus got discovered, if I'm not mistaken.

[@StooRoxxAss]

@@Chizuru94 but anyways... Even Birkin needed hours to transform from a human being to the giant blob in the train. He transformed piece by piece and not at once. Don't get me wrong, I know this is science fiction, but within this fictional universe the original three games on PS1 made perfectly sense and had a plausible story within. Just have a look at T-103 ("Mr. X"). In the end he slightly transformed to the "Super" Tyrant which was almost an equivalent to the original T-002 Tyrant from the Arklay lab. That made sense because T-103 is an improved clone of the T-002. And we know that Nemesis is just a T-103 combined with an NE-Alpha parasite. Why should he get this big under 30 seconds whereas the T-103 looks almost the same after a whole night? :D I hate inconsistencies like that. This is the reason I dislike RE CODE: Veronica, Zero, and of course RE4 onwards.

[@G9402]

I definitely missed the Clocktower part. That was my favourite part in the original besides the RPD.

[@samfanhellyeah]

It really annoys me how my favourite RE game wasn't given the same care and time as RE2.

[@thedarktyrant]

Its always gonna be tough. I love RE0 and have so many ideas for a remake but at the same time I have a feeling it might get the 3make treatment or just not be as good and have as much effort which I understand. We obviously wish our favorite games would get the same amount of love, but games like RE3 I always assumed wouldn't be as good, which again, I wish we didn't have to go through.

[@NosferatuSalemsLot]

It came out only a year after RE2R so they definitely rushed it.

[@killerking2346]

I would rather they pretend clock tower doesn't exist (like the park) than to dangle it in my face in a boss arena and not let me enter it. That felt horrible. Cucked Tower.

[@alexferrier5732]

For real, they teased us hard. When the battle was over and Jill was getting inside the clocktower I was about to scream out of joy (like, yeah! we gonna play in thr clocktower!), only for her to pass out right there at the entrance. Hospital was way bettet than the original tho.

[@CaBdosdos]

Horrible fight....it belonged in BloodBorne not RE.

[@sean-thiago1986]

The most painful thing about it, is there is a collectible in the boulevard before crossing the bridge, which says that the Clock Tower was just re-opened after being closed for 10 years, and both Umbrella and Michael Warren restored the place to its former glory. Like teasing the place just to forget about it completely.

[@Vegeta_1990]

Ok killer king

[@westingtyler1]

THAT's the thing! it was like the director was like "fuck that dumb clock tower. not in MY resident evil 3." then others were like "but sir fans really love the clock tower." and he was like "you wannna see clock towers? I'll SHOW YOU CLOCK TOWERS. and you'll never go in them MWA HAHAH." seriously, a slap in the face to show it like that in passing, as if they assumed that would satisfy us.

[@TonyFitForBattle]

Should have had Mercenaries, should have included the cut content from the original (it’s missing a lot of stuff), should have had more costumes, should have had more replay value. It’s a $40 game with a $20 multiplayer mode that is rough around the edges. I enjoyed my time with it, but it’s disappointing in so many ways.

[@RandomJtv]

Not even a $20 multiplayer mode. Resistance is bare bones and ragged as hell. I woulda much preferred a mercenaries mode with online play.

[@asdergold1]

$20 mult mode? Nah, no way in hell. It's so dull and broken beyond belief, balance-wise.

[@ESPLTD782]

[@sortahuman3854]

yeah that was a crazy thing to say lol

[@romeezydabreeze]

The energy they used to create re resistances should have gone into re3 remake. It's like Capcom got the ball really rolling and then shot themselves in the foot with resistances

[@Pove]

i think as they continued developing resistance the Re3 remake became the side project and they only sold resistance along with Re3 remake because they knew that the remake was what people were going to pay for. sad really...

[@romeezydabreeze]

Pove exactly it’s like when it comes to Resident Evil they are trying to follow the trend of action and call of duty. They should have just stayed true to the original

[@desulek7835]

Pretty sure resistance was developed by a different team and the real reason was because of the re2 dlc considering it came out a year later

[@auditionhime]

I do care for the costumes too!!! For replayability purposes... I hope Carlos gets more too!!! And the 99 classic polygon skin.

[@brettstreet3975]

Would have been badass if, instead of Resistance, RE3 came with Outbreak 1 and 2 with live servers, voice chat, and a bit of a makeover. I feel like that would have been way cooler than Resistance imo

they shoulda just remade the outbreak instead of resistance. What a waste!

[@Walamonga1313]

If it did I would've bought it for Outbreak, not for RE3 lmao

[@Sifer2]

Unlike Resistance though a proper Outbreak remake could easily stand on it's own.

[@Carlitonsp1]

To me, the saddest thing about this game is that it lost an appeal of the original game: None of the other Resident Evil game's felt like it. Revelations 2 has a similar structure but with a more unique dynamic with the 2 character playstyle. RE7 has a scary equivalent to Nemesis in the Baker Family, but maintains the threat of them without making them feel dull. REmake 2 pretty much feels like a more polished version of this game, and most people were sold on this game from their experience on REmake 2.

[@tommyxiao872]

Is it a good game? Yes. But should it be the same price as RE2 remake? Nope.

RE2 Remake barely justified it's price. This game in its current state should of been an expansion for RE2 for $30 at most.

[@skaarj96]

I agree 100%

[@Zeldarulah]

Even the RE2 police station feels bigger than any part of RE3make. I remember being shocked when I played RE3 original just how big the main part of the city felt/was, and here it felt absurdly small. I think not having Jill go to the RPD was part of this. It seems like the main reason people were excited about this is because the way Mr. X functioned in RE2make is like how Nemesis was in RE3 original, and so seeing that taken to a higher level in RE3make was supposed to be incredible but instead they didn't let those parts happen hardly at all and they were all very scripted.

[@codyragusa4062]

Yeah I feel like Nemesis transformed entirely too quick

[@skaarj96]

its true, in OG game he showed up in total of 6 times FACT before going to the clock tower, police station 2 times, newspaper office or restaurant, power station depending on your choice you make in the game, ally right after the zombies come in the store, and right before you go the rail car, and there are two other spots he can pop up depending on the choices you make in the game

[@RazloTPD]

Spoilers below; I agree with you completely. I loved the first part of this game so much, but in the space of 5 minutes I realise they had taken the humanoid Nemesis away already, and that the Clocktower had been reduced to a bossfight arena with this new Dog-Nemesis that I was still unsure if I even liked. It really felt like some producer was sitting in a meeting, eyes glazing over, as a team of designers tried to explain to them WHY the humanoid, terminator-esque Nemesis is way scarier than a generic, big monster.

[@hojotengu5498]

This is on point - and two of the nemesis fights are the exact same (clock tower/acid arena)

[@RazloTPD]

@@hojotengu5498 Exactly. For me it would have been a far cooler game if you fight the shirtless Nemesis mutation throughout the clocktower, culminating in the rocket launcher boss fight. Then skip the labs, fight Dog-Nemesis in the acid pit, and then you can still have the final battle be essentially the same. Just reskinned with the ''dead factory'' look. Instead we got what felt like 50% the game they intended, and 50% producers not having faith in what it was, and saying it 'should' be something else.

[@hojotengu5498]

@@RazloTPD Same - biggest complaint by far - which is a bummer cuz (even though the movies are trash) theres a cool shirtless Nemesis with a gatling mini-gun in the concept art that would have been perfect there.

[@leerobbo92]

@@RazloTPD The thing that disappointed me most is that everyone was convinced that Mr. X was basically a trial run for a roaming Nemesis. They already had the basic programming, and Mr. X was so well recieved and a big part of why RE2 was such a hit, why not work on that and make something truly innovative? Have him not just roaming the map, have him going in and out of bounds too, so it really feels like he's roaming the city. Have him take shots at Jill from far off buildings with the rocket launcher. Have him spot Jill from an apartment window, and charge off in your direction, giving you just a few seconds to run or hide. Even simple sound effects (smashing, or "staaarrrrs") to let you know that he's in a nearby building, even if you can't see him. Anything to make him less generic and scripted. As you say, if you put the shirtless Nemesis in there then that could easily have covered the first half of the game, so the mutations are no excuse.

[@adamjames2254]

I was sorely disappointed with the handling of nemesis in this game

[@Charlieweddle]

My only hope is that they do some free add-ons to compensate for the price. I want zombie Jill as a skin, I want polygonal Jill as a skin, and I want Mercenary Mode so I can play as Mikhail. Do that and it gets a bit more fair. I had hoped the Multiplayer that was added on was more like Outbreak, but I was disappointed to find out it was an asymmetrical player vs player game. It's a big shame really as I liked OG 3 better than 2 on some fronts, but this remake I can't vote with as much confidence as I could 2's new perspective. That said, I do agree it's a fun game, it's just more like 30 or 40 dollars of fun, rather than the 60 they priced it at in its current release. .

[@spyrochrisgaming]

They better add S+ rank too.

[@GamemaniacosDeAyeryHoy]

What they should do is release the Mercenaries with a new mission, maybe showing how Mikhail platton was destroyed. They can combine that idea with the Clock Tower (remember the Mercenary that died protecting the girl) and do a new scenario, with new location that is also cannon to the story. No gonna happen, but I wanted to say it anyway.

[@IkarosTypeAlpha]

Capcom really confuses me with priority on multiplayer. It's been proven multiple times already, that people don't want it. The exception being Outbreak, yet we may never even get that again. There's just this weird disconnect with them and the fanbase as it took them years to finally bring RE back to what people loved, yet they STILL do stuff like Resistance and under developing 3. There are clearly people at Capcom who understand us, but it seems they get put to the wayside by others who don't for some inexplicable reason.

[@desulek7835]

1. I think resistance is actually quite good and original but it's bad name comes from the fact that people think it's the reason 3 is underdeveloped 2. From what I've heard the real reason RE3 was a bit underdeveloped was because of the re2 dlc

[@maidenless2110]

@@desulek7835 Resistance is garbage. It has nothing to do with people not judging it in isolation. It sucks. It's unbalanced, buggy, and just flat out broken. The matchmaking is terrible too.

[@themrlace]

Late reply but I think the problem is that nowadays multiplayer seems to be "the big thing". Every game does it, for better or worse (mostly the latter). So my guess is that Capcom wanted to jump on the multiplayer bandwagon, but failed to realize that this is not their audience.

[@Pepulit]

A huge gripe for me is the mishandling of Brad. Nemesis' introduction was iconic in the original, so for him not to get any STARS kill is an injustice to both of them. We literally see Brad for less than 2 minutes in the beginning and then at the RPD. The reimagining of Brad's story could have been so much more significant IF Jill was the one to put him down, not Carlos. I was so looking forward to Jill interacting with Marvin, but nothing. Bitch doesn't even go to the RPD, wasted. Jill putting Brad down could have been a key moment for her because Nicholai was going on and on about how she couldn't pull the trigger when it counted. The potential alone would have made up for Nemesis not getting the kill and would have been such a beautiful, tragic moment. Also, like everyone else, the clock tower. So you're Carlos at the RPD, then you switch back to Jill and pretty much immediately go back to Carlos. That alone was terrible. I love Carlos, my friend and I were stanning for him to get a longer segment, but not at the expense of Jill. It's her game! The clock tower segment could have added some much needed leeway to transition back into Carlos. I'm slightly bitter... but the original RE3 is my favorite in the series. It was definitely rushed and should have no way been outsourced because it really suffered for it. I still love the R3Make but I can't deny my disappointment in the handling of this game.

[@jeremyc311709]

I really don’t mind that it’s short. I expected it. Most RE games are. But I’d rather have a shorter game than a really long one that overstays it’s welcome.

RE3 and Resistance were made by various teams, they didn't affect each other's development. It kinda surprises me that Neobards, team behind Resistance, are way more open on Twitter and added looooooots of fanservice, new enemies and locations as Bawk has already mentioned. It does look like they care about fans even more than RE3's team. I love that RE returned back to it's survival horror roots but something seems off. We got same issues in last games such as cut enemies and one half of the game being better than another, and Peter Fabiano was a producer of this game and it shows. This guy seems kinda suspicious. I won't be surprised if there would be so many cool concepts and ideas that were cut by him Edit: I found out that Fabiano became RE2's producer when RE7 was in late stage of development, so it must be 2017-2016, when lots of stuff was cut and redone. Everything fell into place.

[@Fedor_Kisliakov]

About Fabiano. I heared a bit of info from one of the Capcom investors. This guy is the main reason for the cut content indeed. The spiders were removed because he does not like them. He does not even like classic RE in general. There is also a rumor of another RE1 remake in development, and guess what - the Black Tiger was cut from the concept right away. I'll bet that the Clock Tower was meant to be in the remake. Hell, you can even find a brochure about it, explaining its history in detail. Why put this effort into something you don't even visit? Apparently, after the success of Resi 7, Fabiano became way over his head, believing he is the one responsible for saving the franchise, and started interfering with the development of the games. The same insider said that RE3 remake was completed a month later after the release of RE2 remake, and it was meant to be sold as DLC in case the game failed to generate profit. But the game didn't fail, and they decided to wait a year and sell it at full price. The development team does not really like Fabiano, but the board of directors is happy with sales, so we're stuck with him. Although this remake was received way less favorably, and rightly so. So I hope he will be demoted to a substantional degree.

@HicksZ34 I pre-ordered it, unfortunately. The only good thing about it is that Jill looks great in her classic outfit :) But I think the sales will be significantly lower than previous 2 games.

I actually warmed up to the game during the Nightmare run, but it's still not worth 60 bucks.

RE3 was my favorite RE. This remake really fell short of the original.

Nemesis was honestly a joke. I would always dread fighting him in the original and now he's a joke. Also annoyed how they made him like an animal towards the end. Not enough extras also. Still have no code for the OG Carlos and Jill costumes despite preordering. Project Resistance is also kinda wack too. Half the time I can't even get in a game. 10+ minutes to find 5 players?

I agree so much. This game is 6/10 on a good day and 5/10 on every other day. Puzzles are crap(no energy puzzle, clock tower song puzzles, water puzzle) Raid holdout in the lobby was just a generic shootout. RE6 much. Way to many environmental hazards to shoot. Jill being Mouth Raped, like really? Hentai in my horror game. The final boss was way to easy. Nemesis is a chump in this game. Like they basically hold your hand when you fight him. Instead of it being organic the game goes "Shoot here and here to win" Driving a car at Nemesis but not being able to drive any of the other cars to run over zombies. Like why even show that in the first place? Giving nods to RE7? WHY? The hated Alligator hallway reimagined with Nemmy. Jill not going back to the police station was a letdown. I wanted her to search her own desk and even comment on her fallen comrades. Maybe even have a secret floor safe with FREEZE ROUNDS. And let's not forget that some of the dialogue is out of synch. 30 dollar game No mercenaries And Jill hesitating to shoot Nikolai is the dumbest thing I have EVER SEEN. Jill is the only woman in the history of the USA to have Delta Force(LOOK IT UP) training. Delta force are more bad ass than green berets. They even kick Navy seals asses. Like how do you not even know about Jill's history. But wait they do. Mikhail makes a whole speech about how badass she is compared to all other police forces. Fucken stupid. Costumes lack No park, dead factory, no GRAVEDIGGER boss fight Where is Barry? No multiple endings or even the proper CANON ending? Fuck u Crapcon SHODDY ass job This game is bad. How does a PS1 game outdue a PS4 game. Even Code Veronica X a Ps2 game did more with its tech than this crap. Both storywise and with their Battlemode. Does Bawk not realize that the PS1 was three generations ago? He was too nice giving this an 8. He has been compromised. Unsubscribing from Twitch and Tube. Giving 8\10 to this highway robbery of a story. Gonna stick with Gmanlives. He told the truth. He even pointed out how Carlos stole screentime from Jill, and Jill's questionable reaction to being mouth raped. Like why does it look like she enjoyed it? The only good add gameplay wise is the dodge button and no need to have the reloading tool on your person. Also where is the enhanced ammo for the shotgun and the handgun? And why is there so much ammo for the shotgun yet it only holds 4 shells? Reloading has never been difficult. The only time reloading had hindered anybody is while playing COD with the LMG. Now that will get you killed.

@@Bawkbasoup I actually bought RE2 remake in June of 2019, so at the time it was only $20-$30. I'm also worried about how much memory this will take up on my Xbox (probably a LOT), and if I can face this game and make my own strategies. Because this game has more enemies. More zombies. Slightly different functions than RE2 remake. And we all know Nemesis, the slightly older, and stronger, cousin of Mr. X. And even on Assisted mode, for me, it will be hard. Even then, my inner sissy will be challenged. But that won't happen yet. That will happen later. For now, I'll focus on actually getting an S+ in Hardcore mode, because all I do these days are no-save Assisted runs with the infinite Samurai Edge. :| (You really read through all of that, didn't you?

Capcom is out here probably giving more love to re8 that’s why they rushed this game n it’s my favorite n it kind of hurts to see re3 just like 99 re3 rushes once again .hinestly would waited 1-2 years for this game to be perfect but we got wat we got

It would be better with Clock Tower and Park section, more explorable city, more and different boss fights, more points at which Nemesis chases you, Mercenaries and other things. However I still like it a lot, but that can be due to nostalgia kicking in, since RE3:Nemesis was my first RE game.

[@rhomayyann4691]

I really enjoyed the first half of the game it was phenomenal easily 9/10. The second half I really didn't like at all. I was insanely hyped to play this game and am happy with it at the end of the day. But as I said the second half, more specifically the part where you return to Jill after playing as Carlos in the R.P.D, is where I felt the game went off the rails (pun intended). I really didn't like the lack of Nemesis in the game especially the lack of him with his weapons. They could have done so much more with him to make him insane with his Flamethrower and iconic Rocket launcher and maybe even other weapons. I can't stand how quick they changed Nemesis from a humanoid pursuer to an alien dog hybrid. He didn't become that freakish slug thing in the original till the very end which worked perfectly. After the second half I felt myself just pushing through it. Man and I really don't like the last hospital scenario where you're given all this ammo/items and need to hold off an onslaught of enemies coming through the windows. It feels like COD Treyarch Zombies and too action oriented. I get making it more action as I said the beginning was perfect and you are literally just watching the first 20 mins of the game with nothing but non stop action. I'm fine with action I just felt they did too much by the end. It's like they made the first half nostalgic and jaw dropping and after awhile they stopped caring about the source material and got lazy. I don't want an exact copy, but they could have saved all the over action parts and waited to transform Nemesis till the final encounter or the final two encounters after having a few of his humanoid transformations. Overall I'd give it a B- or a 8, 8.5. I was stuck at 7, 7.5 for a bit, but then thought it wasn't that that bad so I increased it a bit. It was a solid title no doubt. If you're someone who liked the RE 2 Remake you will be disappointed due to this games lack of continuity to the source material which some new comers came for. For a new spin on something old that added some new, but kept the same premise. RE 2 Remake easily did this RE 3 Remake not so much.

[@АлександарЦветановић]

My thoughts exactly! I LOVED the opening scene in Jill's apartment, it gave us the much needed insight into her life prior to the outbreak and after the Arklay incident. The way they introduced the Nemesis was REALLY well executed, also the part with Jill reaching that parking rooftop by struggling through invested street of RC was so well done, after that it kind of started going downhill for me. I still enjoyed going through the city, reaching the power station etc, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. Also, cutting Jill out of RPD was a big minus for me, even though they added Carlos' gameplay afterwards. I was ok with not having the Clock Tower and park/graveyard segment, the hospital was pretty bad ass, but the underground lab felt a bit....meh. Other parts with Brad, Dario, STAGLA gas station etc felt quite rushed, they literally gave us a glimpse of it and that was all there was. Also, the way they handled Nemesis' mutation, especially the early forms, was rushed. I did like the innovation with his beast-form mutation, though I would've preferred if they kept the human-like form in those parts instead. One more thing I noticed is that they gave Nicholai more screentime that the Nemesis, which kind of distorted the perception of the real antagonist of the story. All in all, I like the game and because of the first half of the game, I've decided to give it a 8.5 out of 10, otherwise it would've been a whole different impression.

[@REfanforlife]

it’s a testament to the series lasting effect on us as fans that we are so critical of it, it’s all subjective in the end and you cant make everyone happy at the same time it’s impossible , that being said it’s a great remake

Wow, interesting. To me the first half was really weak and I just was so disappointed that Nemesis wasn't a bigger part and that there were no puzzles and very little exploration. Then the second half I was like okay now it's starting to feel like I actually need to use my resources a bit more sparingly and the hospital I thought was just great.

And in regards to Resistance, I think it's a really fun game. Ive played quite a bit with a friend and we're having a blast. And also, Capcom will definitely add in free dlc later on like they did with RE2R. Remember, that game didnt start off with the retro, 1998 costumes or the alternate endings for Kendo and others. We just need to be patient for what's inevitable :)

[@IdTheDemon]

What could have made RE 3 Remake a perfect game: 1) Just like in the original, no Nemesis in the start. Let us explore the desolate city before Nemesis changes the pace like in the original and EXPAND on it. Give us some time with Dario and add in more survivors and give us the CHANCE to try and save them. The survivors would have time and location requirements to meet them otherwise they die horrible deaths. Example: In the original RE 3 there was a fleeing woman in the back alley in the start and if you went a certain direction you'd find her corpse being eaten. What if you could save her and in return she'd give you a key for a locker or something. This opens up replay ability, achievements and unlockables in the store such as costumes, weapons and items. Imagine if there was an unlockable that required you do save all the civilians in one playthrough? Imagine all the speed run possibilities. 2) Branching paths, choices and multiple expanded endings! There could have been 2 major points in the game that allows Jill for non linear exploration: The City Hall Gate and the Subway car. The order we find the 3 jewels and the 4 car parts could open up different scenarios. 3) The tease by Capcom about the hole in the wall at the RPD station and it NOT being made by Nemesis going after Jill was cruel. While I LOVE the expanded role by Carlos, it should have still been Jill going to the station. They could have had Carlos look for the doctor at his home instead of the RPD. 4) Mercenaries Mode! Enough said!

[@wilderhritz3454]

You said it perfectly, but i would also add: have the game be less linear and require more backtracking, less cut scenes (yes i liked the cut scenes and they looked amazing but in the same note i felt like there was a cut scene every 15 minutes or so), and less/no quick time events no one likes these and they do not add anything to the game

[@DJWeapon8]

Making the subway a fast travel point of sorts would facilitate a larger Raccoon City. Similar to God of War with the Temple of Tyr giving you access to four other realms. The subway would have access to multiple stations along the path to Fox Park. These stations are connected to maps with survivors in them. The remake suffered from being too linear and corridor like. There are more tight alleys and confined rooms than there are streets. So the maps would be designed to be more open world. Much smaller than the run of the mill open world games. Similar in size to Shadow of War maps. With buildings, apartments and stores that can be explored for supplies and possibly survivors to send to the subway train. These maps would also facilitate more Nemesis encounters and chases.

[@Upsetkiller456]

I am going through my Hardcore playthrough now for that 2nd run. I am SUPER disappointed in this game. It feels super scripted and the bad kind of linear. There is considerably less exploration and Nemesis even on Hardcore is a joke. For a game that a lot of people will play once, you would want Nemesis to give the intended experience regardless of difficulty. I wasn't a huge fan of Jill in this game either, she comes off with what I'd call "Bad Sass" but I do love the new Carlos segments. The lack of a Mercenaries mode really hurts it, and instead they shove poor resistance on it when it wasn't ready at all. I appreciate the more cohesive nature the game gave and I don't hate it but a 9/10 for story is WAY high.

[@numbnutt9170]

Funny enough I've put way more time into Resistance than the base game.

[@PC_Magikman]

I'm hoping that later on its lifespan, similar to how re2 remake got ghost survivors, that re3 remake gets some new content like the old mercenaries mode along with some extra unlockables/rewards. I really agree with pretty much everything you said in this review, the game itself was phenomenal but not getting any rewards for beating the game on the hardest difficulty/getting the highest rank is real weird.

[@AustinKiefer]

I might be the minority on this, but I honestly dont care about costumes at all .... Like I have only one custom mod for RE2R and that's Claire's "True" OG RE2 costume and still barely use it. I think the real replay of this game is the higher difficulties and that the challenges now unlock shop items to help you beat higher difficulties. It's a very flexible way of implementing replay, You can take as much stuff you want into the field to keep testing out your skill in higher difficulties. Like you first try inferno with both defence coins, then graduate to only using one, then none at all, all while you try to keep a consistent death and time on your games. So you can make the replay as hard or casual as you want. I think this has even more replay than RE2R super similar A/B scenarios, that got stale REAL FAST. I guess it still does suck that your results screen dont show that improvement correctly, but you don't need a screen telling you how you're doing. You know when your using a shop item, You know when your taking longer to do something when you took less time to do with said shop item. I guess I'm in the minority with this view point, but it makes the game way more fun to me ... So more power to me, and anyone that can relate at some level. Also everyone forgot that you can buy infinite weapons for RE2R and bum rush that game too, so RE2R and RE3R have the same problem with result screens not showing true results...... except that S+ rank.

[@WickedAwesomee]

I actually like to have a variety in costumes, so I hope they add them in later, maybe new one but at least all the originals. But I agree with the rest. Nightmare basically feels like a fresh new run since enemies and items spawn differently. It’s weird because I feel REmake 3 is lacking more content than REmake 2, and is shorter, but i think it’s more of a fun time. Just wish there were more Nemesis interactions and that his human form lasted longer. For some reason my heart starts pumping fast when he’s running after me in the city than being a huge thing charging at me during boss fights. I actually think Capcom should stop doing blob looking final enemy types. That’s just me though.

[@Scott-M1]

Bawk, don't be afraid to criticize where criticism is due. IMO, the originals still done a better job. These "reimaginings" are lazy renditions. Now the trilogy is out, RE1 Remake did it the best. Cut nothing, added more, stayed faithful. Including remastering the damn soundtrack!

Then it would have cost close to 100$ dollars, which is not really accessible to everyone.

[@7MinutesWithWesker]

Bawk I 100% agree with you I've loved RE since I was 8 so I was very excited for all the remasters and remakes.....i don't 100% agree with all the reviews I enjoyed it I just feel it was rushed and I like Project resistance too I wasn't excited when I heard about it but when I played it it was fun!

[@polymathecian]

Capcom gets a D- for effort.

[@hamsterinmykitchen]

For me the deal breaker was the removal of grave digger boss fights, i.e. the only non-Nemesis boss encounter in the game with a really cool arena and premise, and the overall approach to Nemesis and his fights/encounters. OG RE3 was simple, yet effective in how Nemesis was handled - none of the fights until Clock Tower Courtyard are mandatory and running away and hiding was, most likely, the go-to option for most first time players. Every time you ran into the guy while trying to get the cable car running was memorable and, while scripted, were put into the game thoughtfully and did not hurt the pacing. As much as I loved the addition of flamethrower Nemesis in the remake, and as cool as the rocket launcher Nemesis section was, that's still an overall downgrade and might as well have been a cutscene due to how little choice or input is required from the player. Have flamethrower Nemesis stalk Jill through the sewer section once you get the battery, then have your rooftop bossfight. Have rocket launcher Nemesis rampage through the streets while you try to hide from him - hell, even the soundtrack for this encounter has an ambient section which oozes tension as-is - why not use it? Remake Nemesis, at least prior to the Clock Tower and excluding his very first gameplay appearance after the power station, is not a threat - it's a one man variety show. Dog Nemesis looks kinda cool, but the fight is not very well executed and has this bizarre arcade feel reminding me of fighting Debra in RE6. The design also does not mesh well with the established concept of Nemesis - the whole point is him remaining vaguely human in appearance and retaining intelligence despite the effect of T-virus. Nemesis becoming a doggo is just a re-tread of Birkin from the previous installment and does nothing to add credibility to the guy's threat. Waste disposal fight is even more arcade-y with actual respawning adds and little change in the fight itself aside from couple extra attacks. What's even more baffling is that they didn't even bother to model acid damage to Nemesis. Why can't acid burn off Nemesis' limbs like in the original? We went from a chilling timed fight in a small room to a glorified game of hide and seek with spectators. Final transformation was, at least to me, not very impressive, as it is too reminiscent of Dead Space monster design with a little bit of Alien sprinkled in, with no explanation of how Nemesis managed to not only survive the acid bath, but also gain inane amounts of mass from seemingly nowhere. Why is his head intact? Why does he have both of his doggo arms in this form? Why do both doggo arms have the remains of his coat limiter on them? We'll never know. I like OG final metamorphosis more precisely because it's just the Nemesis parasite inside the remains of the Tyrant body. It does not have much to work with, so its attempt to regrow lost limbs looks like a mishmash of tentacles, eyes and bones arranged haphazardly in a short period of time. This from is memorable, while remake final form is, unfortunately, kinda generic in comparison. TL;DR - sometimes it's better to remake some elements verbatim instead of trying to defy expectations. Don't attempt to reinvent the wheel.

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

It's a decent game overall but disappointing compared to the RE2 Remake and way too short.

[@ToxicOxie]

polifatts honestly it being “short” is the least of its problems

[@nxakush2304]

Not really both games are really short

[@arsalansyed123]

Loved your review and I feel the same way too about cut locations but I still had a great time playing this. :)

[@smithsfan425]

Watch them add DLC to include Carlos’ half day trek to find Jill, or Tyrell’s trip from the RPD to the hospital. Hell, they could still do the clock tower once Carlos finds Jill involving Nemesis still. Maybe they have scenarios with Nicolai, Mikhail, or Murphy? They still have time to release these.

[@TheGjergj79]

Gonna take time and money for them to do it. Capcom is focused on RE8 right now. It'd be cool if they could add the missing areas to RE3 remake but i don't see it happening.

[@scottsholtey691]

The zombie Jill option would be a great reward to have didn’t know I wanted this so badly until you mentioned it. But I agree 100% with the criticisms. Jill and Carlos are much better developed

[@fluidwolf]

Im super sad about not having many costumes. Having a bunch of random dumb costumes was one of the fun things I liked doing in Re2make. I used the infinite weapons tho after I got both characters S+ since Im not so much a difficulty chaser myself. Tho oddly enough my game seems to have forgotten that I had even beaten Leon's hardcore mode at all and my infinite launcher is gone so I may have a reason to do another attempt of it soonish

[@Omega_thehusky]

this is actually a really good review also doesnt give spoilers besides inferno mode i didnt know exist but im dont get mad at those kinds of spoilers? everyone kept bringing me down talking about cut content and nothing else but you said it better they added stuff too its good XD gald i watched this

[@JackHeRare]

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just take the time they used to make Resistance and put all that focus in to RE3. Shit is stupid. I was worried about this, when I saw Resistance was coming with it. I just KNEW the content would be cut in half. I’m sad about that.

[@auditionhime]

True!!! 2 different game play style targeting 2 different gamers so disappointed to Capcom not focusing on re 3 remake more.

[@JackHeRare]

yoshiyuki suanino Leave it to Capcom to do right by the fans, only to get way ahead of themselves in thinking they know exactly what they want from their core fan bases. Like Bawk said, all they had to do was ask if we wanted something like Resistance and I’m sure 90% of the RE fan base would’ve told them “NO”, straight up. But instead if they did it without any regards in to how we would feel. And honestly, it wouldn’t even be that bad if they would’ve at least came out with it before or after RE3, but the fact that they cut a lot of corners in a game the entire fan base was hyped for just so they could work on Resistance and package it together, is the shit that REALLY pisses me off. I would’ve just passed on Resistance, if he was it’s own separate entity, but I don’t like the fact that it was cut in to a game that I was hyped for and ruined a bit of what RE3 could’ve been.

[@manbearpigsereal]

Resistance was a different developer, neobards.

[@IkarosTypeAlpha]

@Insert name here Regardless, they could have gotten them to develop more singleplayer content (like mercs or a proper randomization system) instead of paying them for Resistance since they clearly didn't want to do it themselves.

[@DJWeapon8]

@Insert name here IT WON'T. Thats the point of removing funding for it.

[@CoryFPS]

We wanted STARS, they didn't give us STARS

[@Draconic_Blazonry]

Today was such a disappointment I just didn't have the heart to buy it and then have that sinking feeling that it's not what I wanted

[@EvoSwatch]

For me its fine if they Add more costumes as free DLC in the near future. 3 more for Jill, and 3 more for Carlos. It can be from original RE3 or just create new costumes. I'm fine with either.

[@danktrain5746]

Nemesis was to much on rails I wanted them to reimagine re3 and build it similar to re2r like a stalking nemy similar mr x woulda made so many more people happy

[@theguybrarian]

That was my biggest surprise from this game. With the new type of terror that Mr. X inspired I thought for sure this would be that roided out... sadly not the case.

I just finished this game after buying it on a sale and I have to say, for 20 USD it was really good. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but also, it wasn't a day one purchase like 2 remake

[@supradupra8363]

Rushed game for money But the real pain in the ass ?The people clapping the game "Oh is not short,oh i love it,oh people complaining about the game being short are haters" Probably the developers think the same about the game being short,and they rushed the game cuz the boss wants more money,and the boss is always right

[@dante7302]

Seriously, this game was way short. My first playthrough just casually looking around for things, I still completed it in 3:58.

[@amedeoseccia6439]

I got some classic costumes with my preorder. They look so sick. I spent my first play through admiring Jill. Totally wish there was more costumes. I'm sure they'll add some as dlc. Resistance is pretty good. I think your 100% right about the things you've said. Nice channel bro.

[@LegendaryManSlayer93]

They should’ve let infected jill be an unlockable costume for beating nightmare or inferno. That would be a good incentive.

[@kido2562]

You want to know what i was waiting to *hear* in Remake 3 ? Its a very tiny thing that i love. *the music box* Thats probably the only puzzle in any videogame i love.

[@BIGNEILCOUSINS]

100% agree with you about using new plus weapons to get an S rank. S rank should only be for play throughs without any extra items or weapons. I have a feeling DLC costumes are on the way . Hopefully they fill in more of Carlos story.

[@demdankmemes6247]

Honestly I absolutely love project resistance. Its an interesting take and very fun to play. I feel like if Capcom had just done right by RE3 remake and just paid more care into the specifics of the game. And maybe just full released Resistance a month later, we wouldn't see even close to as much backlash towards resistance. I feel like people are pissed about RE3 (understandably) And taking it out on resistance. Resistance isn't perfect but its honestly a ton of fun and I'm disappointed that there will be no point in playing it as it'll be deader than a doornail within a month. Quetimes are already around 4-15 min

[@vovin8132]

Resistance is pure garbage. They basically copied Dead by Daylight, gave it some RE skins, and nobody asked for this. I played two games and when the petty mastermind player dropped out because we were about to win the second time again, it cost my character experience points. It's not fun, and these resources should have been put into an Outbreak remake.

[@demdankmemes6247]

@@vovin8132 Never had a masternind drop out and I've won about 90% of my survivor games as well as playing long before release in the beta. If you think this is anything like dead by daylight you obviously have never played DBD. The mechanics are completely different as well as the perspective . What I WILL say is that a little bit more resources should have gone into the RE3 remake whilst the story and all is amazing the game could have been longer and there could have been more to it. And it seems like they put more effort into this than their remake. But hey I mean if you're one of those people who gets tilted over the mastermind leaving and deciding the games trash off of that that's you're decision. You play something else and I'll enjoy this game.

[@vovin8132]

[@tofu_max4420]

tbh i like the fact you can still get an s rank even if you use shop items, it makes it so that completing the challenges and unlocking everything is a matter of playing the game enough times and using the stuff you earned rather than taking that away from you.

[@OscaReyLich]

i love RE3 remake, even the 4 leg nemmy was amazing, because the T virus turn normal zombies into lickers, so is somehow logical that a tyrant like nemesis turns in something like it. But there's 3 things i did not like at all, the clocktower wich was just a bridge, the second thing is that there was no the giant worm fight and most important WHERE'S BARRY!!!

[@vovin8132]

Actually, that's not right. The point of the T-Virus is to create Tyrants; the genetic rejects turn into zombies, who can evolve into creatures like the Licker depending on the strain of the virus, via the V-ACT process. Nemesis is a Mr. X model infected with the Nemesis parasite, and that is supposed to be what takes him over. The problem is that his later forms looks like Birkin models.

[@banshee767]

Love you bawk. Watched a little more than half of that 20 hour stream. I worry capcom is gonna see this and bot give you a 15 hour early release code [jokes] but you make very valid points. And I feel it's also slightly at a disadvantage because re2 remake being such a large hit compound that people forget how short re3 original was. I do hope they add dlc like re2 remake and bring in mercenaries and costumes.
