How Resident Evil 3 Fails as a Remake

[@OneProof]

Was laughing at a theory about RE 3 Remake was originally an RE2 Remake DLC. But after finishing the game.. holy shit.

[@xDMikeyms]

To be fair, the original RE 3 was actually supposed to be an RE 2 spin-off and Code Veronica was the actual sequel, so I think that's just a side effect of the original.

[@kd8835]

Code Veronica, now there’s a remake... fighting wesker and alexia... 🤤

[@infinityghost01]

I said that at one point and now I wish it were true, do like mk11 did and release an expansion just like a quarter to half the price of RE2

[@nbr1rckr]

That's the vibe I got. Like, it feels so recycled, even in the demo. I was so unhype.

[@6ixlxrd]

@@xDMikeyms To be fair as well, the original RE3 felt like an original standalone game (similar to Witcher 3 DLC's), and encouraged multiple playthroughs via multiple divisive elements such as decision-making systems, 2 endings, a reward system that *actually* felt rewarding, and no two playthroughs ever being exactly the same due to different enemy encounters. Meanwhile the Remake feels like a half-assed add-on that cut mechanics from the previous installment alongside content from the original. Could've been a $30 DLC. Especially since the Demo is basically the whole game (the good part, anyway). As someone else above said, the original game's map feels more open-world than the remake.

My point is that if you think re2r is good, bad, or mediocre, then you should feel the same way about re3r. The game did 90% the same thing. Critics lambast re3r for turning the clocktower into a Nemesis boss fight, but they don't say anything about zapping being removed or 90% of the content from the b scenario being removed. Be consistent in criticism. Either re2r is overrated, re3r is overhated, or both.

[@nkohler5601]

It's a trivial point from the novelization of 3. In the book Jill's outfit was because it was an incredibly warm September and before everything went down, she was preparing to follow a person she suspected of having access to the umbrella labs. Thus the stylish clothing was for her to blend in down town and the jacket was in case the weather turned and she was unable to find something

[@Sullenify]

Honestly the whole “reimagining” angle just seems like a way of excusing cut or unnecessarily changed content. Neither remake does enough new or creative stuff to really pass as a reimagining to me. This is my biggest problem with these remakes, they simply refuse to pick a direction, they try to stay faithful one minute while cutting something and doing their own different thing the next moment. Either faithfully remake these games, or use them as a template to make something almost completely different, this wishy washy middle ground is just so annoying at this point.

[@markcobuzzi826]

Personally, I would have been pretty much satisfied if the reimaginings of RE2 and RE3 at least did not flat out cut content with nothing to stand in for their roles. *Like for RE2 Remake...* Make the G4/Super Tyrant fights be based on the First/Second Runs instead of Leon/Claire campaigns, remove the G2/G3 boss repetitions, have alternate cutscenes for continuity, include all of the enemies, and give a complete new musical score like RE3 Remake seems to have done. Maybe create new mechanics that a zapping system could be centered around, even in light of things like hip pouches, SMG, and boards serving different roles. *For RE3...* Keep in the opening action scene, parts of the endings like Barry Burton, some kind of branching paths in environments/narrative, the Gravedigger boss encounters, an equivalent to the cemetery, the clocktower interior, the backtracking in Raccoon City, the puzzles, the Nemesis encounters after train cutscene, the quantity of bonus costumes, and a singleplayer bonus like Mercenaries mode. While I give credit for RE3make adding new enemies, the RE1make added new enemies and kept all the old ones.

What I was looking forward to the most on RE3make was Nemesis. The moment I saw Mr X stomping around, patrolling RPD I knew that if they implemented similar mechanics to Nemesis they would create the scariest game ever made. Nemesis in RE3 already scares the life out of me despite being scripted (but he has a very dynamic script which masks it well). I couldn't imagine how scared I'd be if he actually free roamed large Raccoon City map, hunting me down like Mr X. In a sad twist of events, the heavily scripted, scarce, and boring Mr X became a terrifying, threatening, and dynamic villain in RE2make. Nemesis however went from a terrifying, threatening, and dynamic villain to a heavily scripted, scarce, and boring one in RE3make. I was stunned at how little he was utilized in the core gameplay loop, being relegated to QTEs and boss battles. And, becoming a giant monster at the halfway point signaled he'd only be a boss for the rest of the game unlike the OG that kept him as a pursuer until the very end. And you forgot to mention his missing signature theme. The original Nemesis music still sends me chills. Now it's just generic action music.

When I thought about which remake maps best equate to which original maps, it also seemed like Dead Factory was the biggest loser, along with Uptown Raccoon City. The Dead Factory was pretty much reduced to a one-off arena for the penultimate Nemesis battle, similarly to the Clocktower. But unlike the Clocktower, I do not even see direct replacement for Dead Factory’s role, as far as the general level design and objectives go. This is the best comparison I could make, between the original and remake’s locations, excluding the monster/puzzles varieties used or lack thereof… Original’s Uptown Raccoon City = *insert a bunch of on-rails set-pieces* Original’s Downtown Raccoon City = Remake’s Downtown Raccoon City Original’s Small Sewer Areas = Remake’s One Large Sewer Area Jill in RPD = Carlos in RPD Original’s Clocktower = Remake’s Hospital Raccoon Park = Underground Warehouse Carlos in Original’s Raccoon Hospital = Jill in NEST 2 Dead Factory = ???

[@markcobuzzi826]

Even more so, it seems they need to be taught the difference between “reimagining a game’s content” and “hollowing out a game’s content”. For one detailed example below... The “Memories of a Lost City” chapters in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles could be considered an even more drastic reimagining of RE2’s plot and narrative. He also pointed that out in a previous video. But aside from Kendo/Bertulocci/Irons barely getting any screen time, it felt like the Darkside Chronicles tried to include everything it possibly could with its alternate gameplay/story structure. You get a decent variety of updated soundtracks for the rooms/events it works in. The alligator is a more fleshed out boss. It actually includes all of the original’s enemies, plus adds Lurkers to the sewer sections. The files, cutscenes, and voice-acting also do a decent job of retelling RE2’s lore and events, while the designs are also pretty faithful to the original RE2. Not to mention, Ada Wong and HUNK already had their own solo scenarios in UC, while DC even includes its own spin on Tofu mode. The only other bits of RE2 content I recall being left out from DC include puzzles, finding keys, the use of blue herbs, the alternating A/B scenarios, etc. But because the game is an on-rails coop shooter, those exclusions make sense for its more simplified, fast-paced, arcade-style, and action-focused gameplay with Claire/Leon always sticking together. In contrast, because there is no reason why these elements should feel redundant or out-of-place, within the remakes of RE2 and RE3, The Darkside Chronicles still feels mostly complete for the type of reimagining it is, while the two latest remakes feel unfinished.

If RE2make was a gutted version of the original RE2, then RE3make is basically just a hollowed out carcass. Even though I don't agree with the removal of the spiders (And crows) I can still acknowledge that changing the G Adults to a standard enemy and using them as a stand in was pretty neat. I thought for sure that this would carry over to RE3make with the Brain Suckers, since they already had the ability to poison you in the original. But nope! Instead they were just cut altogether along with blue herbs and the Drain Deimos have now been reduced to a nuisance enemy that you only encounter once. Two of my favorite Resi creatures ruined. But yeah, you pretty much hit the nail om the head. Not only are they cutting out weapons and enemies, but now also entire locations. The Clock Tower was one of my favorite locations in the original and now its just gone, even though they created this whole elaborate backstory for it. I also dont understand why they changed the MAG ammo boxes if they were just gonna recycle the Lightning Hawk anyway. I also dont like hos they changed Nemesis's forms. In the original you got the sense that, as he got more and more damaged from his encounters with Jill and Carlos, the parasite would eventually take over and reduce him to a wild animal. Here he just looks like a discount licker who eventually turns into yet another "Wall Of Flesh" boss. There are just so many WTF design decisions when it comes to this game. As for Jill's new outfit, my opinion is that its fine, but I still think they should have stayed true to the original or that the very least made the classic version 100% faithful. I also agree with CVX and RE4. No more remakes!!!

[@SeffTrollins]

I also wonder why they even bothered with the Clocktower backstory. I decided to finish my Hardcore run a few days ago before shelving the game and missed a note that basically gave some history to the tower. Only to never go inside it. Just weird to do that. Maybe it WAS gonna be an area to explore but cut. We may never know.

[@lpfan4491]

I assume it was done in an attempt to justify the reimagining-thing. Changing the content while still giving context to the cut stuff. It is an intriguing idea, but it does not really fit a world in which the remake is just going to replace the original due to lack of accessability and rewrite the entire timeline.

[@Walamonga1313]

Great comment. RE3 was always my least favourite of the PS1 trilogy, but I still like it a lot. And your criticisms are exactly mine. I don't mind if the game takes less than 2 hours. Literally all old school REs are short. I don't care if they are short...but cutting out actual content? Especially if it already was there in the original? Remakes are supposed to add, not take. And this time it wasn't just extra rooms or minor enemies, it was entire areas and enemies. Nemesis was reduced to cutscene monster mostly, and when it transforms into dog/licker it's just... Why? He doesn't chase you across rooms anymore whenever you complete a key objective. He just becomes a boss encounter or worse, a cutscene.

[@markcobuzzi826]

So far, the only things RE3make is doing better than RE2make are actually including a complete new musical score and at least adding three extra enemy types in place of the four they cut. Plus, I actually like how it made the Hunter Gammas much more differentiated from the Betas, and they feel like the fourth free new enemy. The use of Hunters is how I think RE2make should have handled the Ivies, with the regular orange ones getting the redesign treatment like Gamma Hunters and the toxic purple ones behaving more like the traditional Ivies as Beta Hunters still do. However, if Capcom’s hired men were really that adamant about the Gravediggers no longer providing boss fights, I would honestly find it the lesser of the two evils, if Gravediggers were just given the RE2make G-Adult treatment and made into the common enemies swallowing you whole in the sewers, instead of the new Gamma Hunters. Maybe someone could make a mod for that. Unfortunately, it still retains the equivalent problem of RE2make not having any alternate cutscenes or penultimate bosses for Second Run, plus the two runs repeating more things in general. Removing the element of branching paths seems to have the same effect for RE3, detracting from the replay value. As he elaborated on within the video above, the main criticism of RE2make cutting content seems to have been ignored and RE3make doubled down, also removing the quantity of puzzles, ability to backtrack in early Raccoon City areas, the whole clocktower interior, Gravediggers that broke up the monotony of boss fights with Nemesis, later opportunities for Nemesis to continue chasing you in humanoid form, quantity of unlockable costumes, story bits at the beginning/ending, and Mercenaries mode.

I was really hoping this remake would be excellent. Instead, it is the weakest one yet. The classic outfits pre order pack is a joke. Jill's is censored to prevent fan service and Carlos gets a bloody shave and hair cut lmao. He does not get his 1999 UBCS uniform. I'm overall disappointed with how the remake depicted the UBCS. We get even less of them given that they cut that awesome intro and they don't have their cool uniforms or even their insignia. Even Operation Raccoon City and to a lesser extent Resident Evil Apocalypse got that right. I also preferred the original's depiction of Mikhail and Nicholai. Mikhail was suffering from survivors guilt and got an extra cutscene to be a badass and goes out using both an assault rifle and grenade. Nicholai was a major disappointment, he literally breaks character and becomes incredibly stupid for no reason and even the writers don't seem to know why or care. Overall at best a 6 or 7/10. Should've been delayed to expand the single player content. That's why people buy mainline RE games. Leave multiplayer for spin off stuff like Outbreak or Operation Raccoon City. And most of all, don't bloody give this team RE4.

Honestly though, there was a lot of potential in this remake. If they had made this game with its graphics and cutscenes but emulated how RE1 was remade, this would become a massive favourite. There's a glaring lack of effort, as if this was simply made to make money. I had issues with Re2, but I think it just, JUST, about ticked the box... Now RE3 has incredible visuals and cutscenes, but that doesn't make a good game. I could even forgive the other story and nemesis based mistakes and messes of re3 remake, if they had made it half an hour longer. it's as if the game developers read the plot on Wikipedia and then rushed the game. Brad and Dario is literally rushed... A whole half hour into 3 minutes, and you don't get to explore. I could go on and on. But basically the problem comes with its length and then using aesthetic to flesh out the game to almost make RE3make more of a movie rather than a playable game. I do think the game feels replayable, but that still doesn't trump a longer game with more content true to story. It's just such a shame.

[@NoMoreNever]

Where this game lost me in terms of narrative was after you, playing as Jill, had restored power to the subway, finished programming the route and succeeding in drawing Nemesis away so the mercenaries could finish preparing the train. Everything Jill did in that section was in character for her and I was with it. She knew the Nemesis would keep coming after her and she couldn't risk it harming anyone else. But when she boards the subway Nemesis shows up and kills everyone except her and Nicolai, making everything you just did completely pointless. I don't know what the developers/writers were thinking in that moment but giving Carlos the part where you go back to the Police Station was a mistake and a missed opportunity for character development for Jill. Carlos is a likeable guy in the remake but his part should be as it was in the original where he as to go find a cure for Jill when she has been infected. Jill should also have encountered Brad again and have her PTSD come back to haunt her as she is forced to kill him. So many plot points that were set up in this game never paid off in a significant way in my opinion. The second half of this game felt rushed both in terms of content and story. Nemesis was also misused in this remake and somehow felt more like an annoyance than a serious threat you had to always look out for. What it particularly missed was the branching path options and see how different choices could lead to different outcomes which would increase the replay value by a considerable degree. It's a shame they didn't give it the proper care and attention it needed, we deserved better, Jill deserved better, and Nemesis deserved better. And where in the hell was Barry!?

[@markcobuzzi826]

I have been saying before that a lot of the problems people had with the remake’s altered story could have been nullified, if the remake simply kept in the system of branching paths and had some of the original’s plot points be available choices. These below are just three examples off the top of my head: *1.) Either comply with Brad’s request to be left behind or push him to not give up and stay with you:* If you do the latter, then Brad will assist you throughout the opening and be in the car, as you ram into Nemesis. But when Jill gets back up, the first thing she sees is Brad In Nemesis’ grip, as he recreates Brad’s death in the original. However, Brad won’t show up later as a zombie, and only Jill will be able to have his card, for the opening the RPD’s S.T.A.R.S. crates early. *2.) Choose whether it is Jill or Carlos, who goes to the RPD rather than getting on the train with Mikhail and heading towards the park:* If the Raccoon Park was in the game, then that could have been an area for Jill/Carlos to navigate, right before the clocktower (since they now go to the Umbrella facility directly from the hospital, rather than through the park). If Jill goes to the RPD, she will have the same basic mission to contact Dr. Bard. Meanwhile, this would cause Carlos to accompany Mikhail through the park instead of exploring the RPD. All of Carlos’ unique items from the RPD will spawn in the park instead. Also, if Jill goes to the RPD, she will eventually be chased by Nemesis yet again, without Mikhail to sacrifice himself for her. But Carlos will have Mikhail sacrifice himself to blow up the Brown Gravedigger from within, making that hypothetical fight easier as a tradeoff. *3.) Right before Nikolai confronts Jill in the waste disposal room, either keep the vaccine in your inventory or leave it in the item box:* If you do the latter, then Nikolai cannot steal it from you, and pair will not be as desperate to stop Nikolai, before he escapes. However, this will give Nikolai time to commandeer the chopper without being intercepted by Carlos and try to kill you. Whether you shoot Nikolai out of the sky or just survive long enough to make him fly away before the city gets nuked, Barry will need to save you now.

One year later and I am still disappointed in RE3Remake! It's crazy cause the original Re3 was roughly the same length (I usually finish a Hard Mode playthrough in 4 hours) but those 4 hours in the original are packed full of content and fun whereas the Remake just felt hollow even though it's the same length of time. :I

[@Grisly_Decay]

RE3 REmake was disappointing, because of how it was supposed to correct the rushed feeling of the original... Just to be a rushed remake of the original, and it shows. I respect people's opinions who love this remake because all opinions are subjective at the end of the day, but to me, it was a complete and utter let down, especially following the RE2 REmake. Too short, the random appearance of Nemesis mechanic being scrapped, major parts of the original being chopped down or cut out of the final product, and the underwhelming fights with Nemesis were baffling, leaving one wondering "wait, why was that cut?" All of this, in addition to the comments Ruby made, are why I just can't love this REmake, and I really wanted to, as 1, 2 and 3 were my favorites growing up.

[@RichterTheRat]

They've annouced that they're gonna do RE4 next. As bad as that sounds, it may be a blessing in disguise. RE4 being the most beloved game in the franchise to the point where even casuals like it. If they do it dirty like 2 and 3, cutting content, dumbing things down and such, there WILL be massive outrage. Probably enough to wake people up to how flawed 2make and 3make were, and ultimately make Capcom's name Crapcom again. Sadly it's the only way Capcom will learn. REmake is the best remake in the history of gaming, and 3make in my mind now stands as the worst remake in the history of gaming.

[@RichterTheRat]

@Alma Penada You obviously never played the og game. Or haven't watched Critical Nobody or RoB's analysis of it. The game removes features, flanderizes the characters, cut enemies, areas and weapons, throws good character design away for poorly executed realism, and mashes the A scenarios from the OG game together in a way that makes no logical sense.

[@RichterTheRat]

@murat balamsa Yeah, it's a damn shame. RE7 was a return to survival horror at the cost of the series' identity. Ironic considering RE4 shifted the focus towards action at the cost of horror themes down the line. Capcom no longer understands what made the series good in the first place and now they're just swinging from one extreme to another with any sense of balance tossed to the wind.

[@bansho7076]

Resi 3 (2020) also has the same error, since it introduces a USB flash drive in it. The Milkor MGL used by the she-male Jill, is an M32A1 model, as it obviously has a shorter-barrel, and the M32A1 was just introduced in the United States Marine Corps in 2014, but those definitely do not even existed in the U.S. in the late 1998. Btw, the Milkor MGL of Resi 1 (1996/2002), aka ARWEN, has a longer-barrel, and it is a model that was personally modified by STARS, which means that it does not represent a historical inconsistency, unlike the one implemented in the Resi 3 (2020).

But i remember my brother talking about the A/B scenario and I realized they didn't add it to the remake and even while playing it I found it odd how Claire's route is basically the same as Leon's (and that was something I didn't like right off the bat) But what really made me realize how hollow the REmake 2 was, was after reading the S.D Perry novel for it. Probably one of my favourite books now, but it really made me realize just how much capcom stripped of the OG 2 game. what probably threw people off was the new graphics, seeing young Leon and Claire again and returning to Raccoon City. I think there was flak from the get-go with the REmake, but not a lot I heard of (until more recently now). i think people excused it because it was a remake and they thought capcom would listen to complaints and criticism and bring that forward, but when REmake 3 came out and people saw how Cacpom didn't listen to the complaints and even downgraded the game, i think that was when people woke up and started to call capcom out on it. all in all, the remakes seems to be leaning towards newer players--mostly those who probably never played the OGs so they can get away with more leeway (which they shouldn't do if that was their intentions).

This game needed to be bigger and more open. The openness of the RPD in RE2 Remake is what helped Mr. X shine since it gave you multiple routes to take so you could around him if he were to spot you, you could organically encounter him as you both wandered, and his footsteps added tension and atmosphere as well as warned you of him being close by. And RE2's RPD really wasn't that wide open, but there was definitely more to it than the RC streets. I have to wonder how well Nemesis's more relentless pursuit of Jill compared to Mr. X's pursuit of Leon and Claire would've worked in a more open environment.

If this game had been a 30 dollar DLC for RE2make, or if this game had been called RE3: Remix ( and been $40), i'd have NO problems. But as it stands I'm STILL waiting for a proper RE3 remake that values the AIP in this video - improve, add, preserve.

“improve, add, preserve” i think this is what they did in RE1 remake and Pokemon remake. I rarely heard any complain for Pokemon remake that its worse that the original. So this line seems important for anyone who want to make a remake.
