The problem with Nemesis showing so early it's that he looks way less effective than his original counterpart. In the original, he accomplish his main objective as part of his introduction, killing S.T.A.R.S. right in front of your eyes, killing the terrified Brad Vickers in a gruesome glorious way. In the remake you just see him failing at trying to kill Jill once and again the whole intro, and he doesn't even get to kill Brad because some random zombies chew on him first. So this depiction of Nemesis killed 0 S.T.A.R.S. members.

[@mestupkid211986]

zombies chew brad first in the og too

[@Demigod_3scrub]

True

[@johnsmith-nx9ne]

You are of course 100 per cent correct, but I think this is part of a problem. My biggest problem (and his goes into modern writing of film and games alike) is they have completely emasculated The Nemesis and over stated Jills bad assnes. for instance smashing through the wall at the start yet failing to kill her, instead opting to throw her aside. (power without competence) Carlos and Jill throwing out quips (like Fuck face etc) took the impact out as no one is actually scared of him. As you pointed out, failing to kill Brad (I dont need to expand on your point, excellently put). Failing to kill Jill several times despite having her bang to rights. Mutating him into a monster way to early and less subtly boiled him down to little more than an animal. Its a modern trope with media with Female leads, making the (normally male) antagonist weak to make the the protagonist stronger by comparison. They totally robbed Nemesis of any power making the chase and boss fights more annoying than tense, Poorly done

[@KarosuMaker]

@@johnsmith-nx9ne "Bitch can't even swim" must be the cringiest line of dialog in the game. Nemesis looks like an incompetent joke, and Jill looks like an idiot for letting her guard down so close to what's supposed to be the biggest threat of the game.

@@JB2FROSTY Because its an amazing detail that makes Marvin's line carry so much more weight to it.

I don't see why you are being rather snarky about a lovely detail that's just sprinkled in there and feeds us lore and story lovers.

The last stand scene in the hospital reminded me of RE4 but what I actually didn't like about that was the invisible walls preventing me of downing zombies outside the windows. The game forces you to wait until they have crawled inside before allowing you to hit them. I was so used to doing this in RE4 that it took me a minute to realize none of the zombies I shot at outside are dying.

When have you ever seen a monster like this just football punt the protagonist in the ribs instead of watching as they get up and quip?

(Also can we talk about that one scene where he's chasing her with that piece of concrete? She was literally LIMPING away from him.

But if my greatest criticism is that I wish there was more of it then is that really a criticism? Plus if you're playing the games once then you're doing it wrong.

He has been seen in flames numerous times over the past hours of the game, and the flames never fazed him at all before. Now, he's going crazy due to the fire and running into a river. And you realize, just as you see Raccoon City's vista with the Clock Tower in the background, and understand how vast this game could be, that there will be no Clock Tower and no more outdoor Raccoon City, and no more Nemesis in his humanoid form. It's just you indoors and versus a dog monster from here on out... I love this game, but that section was where my heart sank.

@@Rationalific like someone just said he isn't immune to fire, but my theory to neme is that he just doesn't feel much pain like every tyrant unless his life is threatened, which explains why he is downed or like mr.x takes a break down on his knees, to recharge, i think the fire didnt bother him when it was minimal but im pretty sure when his burns were getting deep under his thick skin he had to do something and with all tyrants they mutate after near death experiences, and given that he was drowning it was the most probable he mutated to a very fish like 4 legged hybrid....i totally agree about not having more open spaces tho, but i fear that we are overselling the REengine, im afraid its designed for rooms in mind and not open levels like streets and downtown centers, sure it did well with re3 but then again how many of those were there and how many zombies were there at once?, i think they reached the limit when they included these few areas, and it shows given how many doors you still have to pass to get to each street and alleyway which doesn't make sense in real life. the engine seems to use doors as a means of a minimal fast loading, its a price to pay for not having loading screens at all during the entire game.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the problems with missing content also impact the story in kind of a big way. first of all Nikolai. in the original game he's a monitor working for Umbrella and his job is to record combat data on all of the BOWs, collect samples of them, and destroy evidence of Umbrella's crimes. Jill discovers this when she finds Nikolai's safe house in the park(which is missing from the remake). in the remake though we never really find out anything about Nikolai or what he's doing. he's seemingly recording the combat data and covering up Umbrella's crimes just like the original but at the end of the game he says that his employer wanted him to destroy Umbrella which means that his actions throughout the game don't really make sense. also in the original Nikolai escapes on the helicopter leaving Jill and Carlos for dead but they're rescued by Barry. that changed in the remake, instead what happens is Nikolai beats up Carlos and waits for Jill to arrive just to taunt her. they beat up Nikolai and leave him for dead. why didn't Nikolai just leave when he had the chance? the other thing is the Dead Factory which was an important location for the story of RE2&3. in RE2 Birkin is evacuating his lab with samples of the T and G viruses because he cut a deal with the US government to testify against Umbrella and provide evidence of their crimes. the location of his evacuation is the Dead Factory where a Delta Force unit is waiting for him(this is why there's a helicopter there) Birkin doesn't make the meeting because he's confronted by Hunk's USS soldiers. in the original RE2 the helicopter that deploys Mr. X has five other canisters on it, these five other tyrants are deployed at Dead Factory to take out the Delta Force unit there. we see the aftermath of that battle when Jill goes to the Dead Factory. also the rail gun that she uses to defeat Nemesis was brought there by Delta Force to deal with those five tyrants. all of that is gone in the remake.

1 - Nicholai works for another contractor interested in Umbrella’s work. That’s why he gathers data and doesn’t get in the way of Jill fighting Nemesis. He’s also tasked with destroying anything related to Umbrella after the fact. 2 - The Tyrant this time isn’t delivered by chopper, they’re made in Raccoon City as evidenced by the Tyrant pods in NEST 2. Only Nemesis was dropped in because he was manufactured by Umbrella Europe, as always. 3 - The rail gun was changed to be an internal countermeasure against rogue BOWs.

24:22 using the worst choice in the game to dismiss the whole replay variation in the game is cheap. Like there's stuff like Murphy's death, Nikolai's fate, the order you do certain levels and Nemesis fights that get affected depending on the order you do things and the choices you make. Cutscenes may have been similar but doing the game in a different order + RNG of some item placements added a lot to the OG using very little. This video has a few questionable takes.

LIke the cable car crash decides in what order you need to do the clock tower, and how the nemesis fight plays out. The bridge before the Waste Disposal Facility, pushing nemesis or jumping off decides what order you do the Facility in, and decides the fate of Nicholai, who can potentially survive. Also yeah, meeting Carlos in 2 different locations may be extremely similar. But based on replay value, discovering new cutscenes was part of the fun of RE3. Especially when you're gathering items for the cable car. Nicholai, Murphy, Carlos and Nemesis turn up in different places depending on the order.

I felt nothing when Nicholai killed Murphy in this lesser remake. I don't know why they didn't st least use the more emotional scene of an infected Murphy begging Carlos to kill him.

Do it, it's a good game and a decent remake. I'd prefer a honest recreation, and unlike Jared, I didn't really like the change of pace, but I also can't say I feel ripped off by the price tag. Steam told me that I spent around 10 hours ingame during my first playthrough, in-game clock was showed aroun 6 hours. Overall the criticisms are valid, and I feel like they could have done better but the rabid half of the fanbase make the game look like it's RE6. It is not. I still prefer the original RE3 better, but this one is still a really worthy entry to the series.

Agreed. He devolved in to a giant dog monster way too soon.

Besides, everyone seems to forget that one of the main attacks of the original Nemesis was to grab Jill by the neck, toss her aside, roar and slowly walk back up to her to grab her again.

[@Rorschach1195]

I'm only going to point out the things I disagree with in this video, everything else can be taken as me agreeing with. Part 1 of 2 I think the biggest disapointment isn't the length but the overall design elements, specifically Nemesis and the world areas you move through from a gameplay perspective. While you mention that Nemesis really wants to kill Jill from the outset, it completely destroyed my sense of tension when in every cutscene Nemesis has a opportunity to kill Jill in an instant due to the choreography of the scenes, all he does is toss her aside and give her a chance to run away, not even sprinting after her or trying to follow up with an attack. It's ironic because whenever a character besides Jill is in the way, he kills them instantly even from 25 feet away but when it comes to the person he is apparently trying to kill, he just toys with her again and again. This isn't helped by the actual gameplay given that on Hardcore, the highest difficulty available at the start, he is downed by a whole ONE grenade (which the game kindly gives you before he show up if you are actually collecting the items like most people would), two flaming barrels or if playing on Nightmare a couple of Magnum rounds which you get at the start, making him a big push over, not counting the electrical boxes setup conviniently in almost every location he appears in that stop him in his tracks for 10 seconds or more. Thats only if you decide to fight him of course, and given how he rarely does anything but walk at you (he seems to only start sprinting at you even on Nightmare only after 10 seconds of walking, which given how this game structures encounters is more than enough to to leave him behind) so long as you keep moving forward you are fine. In the first city section he might spider-man in front of you, but given dodging is so easy in this game and you could argue its way too good, you can easily dodge the punch he throws and now you are back ahead of him without him being a threat at all. The real problem design wise though is the way Nemesis actually works, or doesn't. I think the use of the term scripted isn't helpful describing Nemesis because there being triggers for him to appear is fine and expected. A better term to describe Nemesis is non-dynamic, not in his spawning but in his behaviour, let me explain. Given Jared said he was avoiding anything pre-release I don't know if he played the demo, but for those who did it's kinda crazy to think that the only part of the city that you get to actually freely explore is the same part that is in the demo. The only addition in the full game is an alleyway that leads to the power station building and the spider den. The way back from the power building, to the subway control building, then to the subway itself is also the only section that has Nemesis actually follow you in a dynamic and non scripted way (behaviour wise) where he will spider man himself in front of you, follow you through buildings and around the map etc (like Mr. X did). From the power building to the subway control building and back to the subway itself, it's only around a 5-7 minute trip. The only way to make it longer with Nemesis chasing you is to not pick up or unlock any doors before nemesis appears after clearing the spider den, and then go around unlocking everything while he is chasing you. Then it can be around a 15-20 minute section. That is by far the most fun and engaging section of the game if you do that. After that his behaviour changes as does the design of the encounters, it unfortunately becomes sections where he "chases you" down linear corridors and all you have to do is hold forward and maybe have to dodge the occasional attack (if Nemesis decides to get of his ass and actually try to kill you) until the next cutscene when it's either a boss fight or he disappears. The problem with these sections is that theres no real danger or tension unless I decided to let go of the forward button for some stupid reason. The game just plays itself, you don't have to react to or make any decisions and there is no core gameplay elements, it's basically a cutscene but I have to strain my finger while watching it. Take the scene where you climb the builidng while Nemesis burns it from the ground up. Sounds awesome and visually it looks great as everything does in this game, however all that amounts to gameplay wise is holding forward from the moment Nemesis grabs you out of the Sewer (and doesn't incinerate you giving you a chance to run) all the way to the boss fight. It's not like you have to fight him off while climbing or make any decisions even about what resources you to use V.S not use while you get away from him, the only threat is if you take your thumb off the stick because it hurts. It's hold forward while a pretty looking Uncharted scary climbing section plays out. This even goes back as far as the intro, where instead of for instance the game giving you control where you try and shoot Nemesis, learn to dodge, learn how the core gameplay loop works while getting yourself out of the building and away from Nemesis, you know like if it was a video game.... the intro is just a big cutscene for the most part where you do little to no actual playing aside from holding forward (sometimes they even restrict your camera movement) or QTE's while it all looks pretty and Nemesis tries kill you in the most inefficient ways possible (the concrete wall scraping scene being the most hilarious one) Unfortunely this isn't a one off, every subsequent Nemesis encounter after the Power station to Subway stretch works the exact same way. Nemesis appears with a rocket launcher behind me, just hold forward and move a few inches left or right when the light goes red until the next cutscene (the most pathetic rocket launcher ever). Even when you return to the first city part with the toystore when he has the launcher, the devs kindly closed off all the previously acessible areas and buildings so if you left any items or unexplored rooms you are out of luck, and now only have a linear corridor back to the subway station for the next cutscene. Nemesis also just isn't in the game much, aside from the listed encounter problems there also aren't very many, maybe thats why they removed the Nemesis subtitle from the game. I mean I'm pretty sure he spends more time in generic monster dog form than Humanoid form. Continued in comments

[@Rorschach1195]

Part 2 of 2 This lack of an open or hub kind of world setup extends to the regular gameplay also, ultimately no section comes close to the RPD in 2 Remake either in depth of design or length. A lot of locations in this game you just teleport to after cutscenes. You don't have to move through the city to arrive at RPD as Carlos, you just arrive there in a cutscene. Same with Jill after the train, it's two very small rooms then you are at the Clocktower boss fight. Then once again, after that exact fight you teleport to the Hospital. This gives the game a much less intergrated and immersive feel, unlike RE2R where you actually move through each of these locations cementing them within the world space. If RE3R had 2 more sections the size of the first area where you had to find keys, and move through the city to get to the RPD and Hospital sections with an open hub-style world map I think that would have massively helped the break-neck pacing of this game and given you some down-time, providing contrast to all the action packed boss fights, explosions and insane stunts. Ideally all the locations would have been intergrated and added to the first areas map and you unlocked them as you advanced through the game with new key items while the previous areas changed to provide new gameplay opportunites. I've seen many people comment that this is RE3 as directed by Micheal Bay while I don't agree with that 100% I can see why. I don't think this game has more post-game content than RE2R does. One campaign, one unlockable costume (where the original game had 8), 2 extra difficulty modes (One that changes enemy placement from base game, and i think it's mostly padding that you have to finish the game once on hardcore to unlock the NM and then again to unlock Inferno, in RE2 you could play the hardest mode from the outset if you wanted to besides the fact that Hardcore in RE3R is mode like normal mode than RE2 Hardcore) 3 weapons, the infinite weapons and a bunch of cheat items to make the game easier. Personally I don't see a reason to use cheats to do more damage or have more health when the game is lacking challenge anyway, and playing on Nightmare just to knock the difficulty back down to Normal or Hardcore seems to defeat the point, but maybe that is just me. RE2R had the 4th Survivor, Tofu etc, 2 slightly longer Campaigns with different events, items and locations regardless of difficulty, 2 additional campaigns with minor changes from the first two (new starting locations, items, paths and guns for each) and 2 unlockable costumes. There is also really small detail discrepancies for some reason, like RE2 model viewer having animations and RE3's being static. It certainly gives the impression that elements of this game were rushed. I don't think length or linearity are this games problems, as all RE games are linear but the difference is that something like RE2R has the propensity for more unique gameplay situations that can vary wildly from playthrough to playthrough specifically through RPD. Mr.X is a big part of this, not because he is a direct threat all the time but because he forces the player to make decisions they otherwise wouldn't have to make (multiple video essasy have mentioned this). This game doesn't have an equivalent of that, beyond the first encounter with Nemesis. i know Jared didn't like Mr.X too much, so maybe he is glad about that but i think for lots of people it was a core aspect of the previous game. I like this game overall, I think it's good, but its none the less disapointing compared to RE2R, RE3 original or just anything they could have done outside of the context of those games which is why I didn't keep comparing it to those 2 games much at all. The best description I have seen of this game is that it's a Universal Studioes theme park of all of the highlights of RE3, you get a small bit of this and that, just the major exciting bits and then you instantly move onto the next ride. Other than those strong disagreements, a great video as always. Thanks to anyone who actually read all this.

Bro I read both parts you wrote and you summed it up perfectly. Except for the first part all the other parts with nemesis felt like a movie except you have to hold forward on the left stick to watch it. Even not taking nemesis into account there are still so many problems like the fact that the sewers are 2 FRIGGEN HALLWAYS, one where there is a key item, and one where there is a grenade launcher; and it doesn't even matter if you get the grenade launcher or not because if you don't the game will give it to you regardless before that second nemesis boss fight. Also, the drained deimos are in the game for one 10 minute section and then never seen from again...like what? Why did you put effort into giving them unique gameplay mechanics like the parasite?

[@OneTrueNobody]

In terms of content, one of the most awkward things in R3make is the inclusion of a file that seemed to be setting up the Clock Tower area right before the second big Nemesis boss fight. It's a file that explains the backstory and in-universe function of the Clock Tower's internal building design, much like REmake 2's file on the police station being a former museum. But the Clock Tower itself ends up not appearing, only being referenced by the optional gem puzzle in the first city section and featuring as a background element in the second Nemesis boss area. It seems to have been a casualty of time constraints, given the evidence, and that's a shame, because it does feel like the game's structure is missing one more notable explorative area on the Jill Valentine side of the gameplay (the Hospital serves as the game's second big explorative area as the sewers did in REmake 2, but that's chiefly a Carlos segment here with Jill optionally retreading it afterward for item cleanup). So the game's structure comes off a bit unbalanced and incomplete to me compared to REmake 2, which was very much focused around this "one big explory area, series of relatively smaller areas, second big explory area, and laboratory finale" structure that, notably, Resident Evil Village actually shares. (There, the "RPD Station" is the castle and the "sewer area" is the Factory, with the dollmaker's house and reservoir serving as the in-betweener, more contained and straightforward segments). The absence of the Clock Tower is a bit unfortunate because of the areas from the original RE3 that are missing in action, it's the most substantial one. RE3 had a lot of cool setpieces but they mostly stood as level design chunks that I could take or leave and as transitional pieces between the game's more important areas, and while missing those locations is unfortunate, they weren't exactly integral to RE3's big-picture design the way the Clock Tower was. If they ever do a special-edition re-release of R3make, I'd like to see them re-implement the Clock Tower, at the very least. I will say that directly entering NEST 2 through the hospital makes a lot of narrative sense here, but is also just more boring visually and gameplay-wise than the means by which Jill gained entrance to the Factory area in RE3.

I agree that the game is fun, but there are quite a few issues I had with the game. The lack of puzzles and the smaller feeling of the locations, it was nice for the pace, I suppose but it never was fully satisfying for me. I really was excited for the clocktower and an expanded city. Nemesis introduction and presence was another, the crazy over the top chase in the apartment was no where near as memorable as him jumping down and killing Brad in front of the RPD. Then that kind of echoes into a lot of the action scenes, it felt too Uncharted. Nicholai was another, I prefered his cold kinda robotic manner in the original, it made sense for him to be that way for all the shit he was doing. I like the way he was portrayed in the Remake as well, just not as much. I agree that new Carlos is great, he was my favorite character in this game. The expanded Hospital was another great part, really enjoyed it. Overall it's a good game, but there are just some off things for me and I totally understand the reluctance and criticisms out there.

[@frostyclutch6759]

Can't agree with you on Nikolai or Carlos or Nemesis. I played every RE game and the original 3 was just a short as this game, the only difference was how long it took you to obtain the gems to get to the trolley and put the fire out and gas station and so on to get the trolley fixed before clocktower boss battle and then hospital vaccine run and then just a park puzzle that wasnt much ot a puzzle but more to show off the Gammas and then the dead factory puzzle that was actually hard. The dead factory and park can be summed up by the warehouse and lab section. The only true thing missing is going inside the gas station and offices and last but not least the clocktower. Wish they had kept Uptown explorable oh well. The remake was fun and short as was the original. Nemesis not being there all the time was actually a good decision as a Nemesis that would be as persistent as 2020's Nemesis would've been an annoyance on Nightmare and Inferno. The game feels like it was designed around replayability on speed runs and the two added difficulties, that's just my two cents.

It does have two extra difficulties, but they really are not worth the trade off for all the content cut here. And there's no S+ rank to unlock stuff like in RE2 Remake. RE2 Remake is the superior of the two, a solid 9/10 while RE3 Remake is a 6/10 or 7/10. Even a hardcore RE fan like The Sphere Hunter gave an 8 and agreed that Capcom rushed this and cut too much.

you replay more or less the same campaign with 2 different side areas. Scenario B on both characters sides are just the same campaign but you turn left instead of right like the scenario A. Hunk and Tofu are the exact same thing with a different character model and weapons. CUt that in half and you have basically the exact same content if you include RE Resistance.

Re2 had so much extra content, as well two 6-8 hour campaigns. It had multiple unlockable costumes and challenge maps. RE3 has stat boosters, some weapons and a single costume for jill. Riveting.

@Who Dat Ninja, Yup, I just can't understand the defenses for RE3 Remake. It's clearly a rushed game. You don't even unlock any in game extra items through getting S ranks. Nah, you gotta boringly grind weapon and overall kill challenges to be able to amass enough points to buy anything fun. At least RE3 1999 had the Mercenaries bonus mode which could've been expanded with extra content. Or at least a Raid mode.

The problem with Nemesis is not that he's scripted. Problem is that the ONLY area where he actually stalks and follows you - the first part of the game. After you turn on the train station, Nemesis is gone. You only get short chase scenes or boss arena battles. He doesn't stand on the way of your objective like mr. X did, you don't have to take a long routes to be more safe away from him while you have to solve puzzles, get items or do your stuff. There's no that feeling of terror that's constantly on your tail cause every time you meet Nemesis you know it's just up until the next door where you trigger cutscene and he's gone again

[@subrussian]

@Dominic dominic first of all he was not, he appeared WAY more often than mr. X in original RE2, yet they made him much more threatening in RE2 remake. And even if it was the same in original - it's 20 years since then, maybe it's time to improve stuff? Just for example, imagine if Nemesis could appear in police station or hospital? closed areas where you actually had to backtrack and collect keys and do stuff. If they'd randomise spots where he could or could not appear throughout the whole game and you'd never know if he's gonna be here on this playthrough. That would be much better than 1 area with stalking, 3 chasing sequences and 4 boss arenas.

I found that playing RE3 Remake up until Carlos gets the cure for Jill and then switching to RE2 Remake, then coming back to RE3 Remake after beating 2, really gives a full complete story of Racoon City. Since RE2 starts after Jill is infected and concludes after she is back up, it works really well.

[@Capta1nAsh]

BAD CHANGES - Jill not going to RPD -Yeah, Carlos goes instead and we get to see the Pre-RE2 layout. But missed opportunity of having Jill going to the RPD for the last time. Also, pretty sure Nemesis was suppose to bust through that wall but they changed it to subvert our expectations. -Clock Tower section cut -I can't really comment, it's just a missing section, but I guess they replaced the Helicopter rescue point with "This train gets us out of the city" so the reason for going to the clock tower was removed from the plot. - Tentacle Nemesis cut -Don't mind the new 2nd phase nemesis but wish we could've had both. -Reducing the City section. -Was Hoping for a larger, open worldish thing. Uptown/Downtown from original was bigger, had more to do and could be tackled in varying orders. But I assume they made the progression more linear for a more consistent plot. RE3 (1999) was a bit canonically ambiguous because of how many events could happen in different playthroughs. -But yeah, The Train only requiring 1 thing instead of 3. Original had us doing the classic 4 item fetch quest that could be done in any order. With the side effect of having various different cutscenes as a result. -Adding on. The Original could be broken into 6 levles: Uptown, Downtown > Clocktower, Hospital > Park, Facility. Remake has feels like it has less levels overall. -I noticed that a lot of the streets were interconnected with each other but the blocked off by debris, cars, boxes and other stuff. -In some points of the game, passages would be unblocked, or become blocked due to scripting. This is very undermining to the player and exploration potential of raccoon city -An improvement I would offer is to unblock most blockages and allow exploration and for the city to be tackled in more varying orders. Hell, have the key items change locations based on difficulty or what order you visit places in. The current method is too linear. In RE3 (1999) you had to get multiple keys to progress (Gems and then Tram parts) and could do them in any order, with unique cutscenes occuring depending on how you tackle it. -Brad Vickers -What the fuck.... -They cut out the most iconic scene from the original. Indefensible. - Nemesis being more scripted. -He should've been an upgrade to Mr X but failed in that regard. -Even know he's a harder fight than Mr X, his presence is undermined by the linearness and the scripting of the new City segment. -As stated above in my opinions of the city section, if the streets for more open, having Nemesis patrol around would've been brilliant. Just like Mr.X patrolled the RPD. -Bin Bag Nemesis -State of your clothes mate. -Barry, where's Barry? -Well I'm sorry but he's probably.... -no... GOOD CHANGES -Carlos -He feels like a real person. Like someone who you'd want to come back in a sequal whereas 1999 Carlos became a "oh yeah... Carlos, wonder what he's doing." -The redesign, the writing and the acting for the new Carlos is great. -Tyrell -He went from a minor character with 4 lines of dialog to a fleshed out character that's likeable and gives personality to the UBCS. -Mikhail - I like him better in this. -Nicholai -Don't know what I prefer, 1999 or 2020, but the actor did a bang up job here. He had a good balance of being antagonistic and being cartoon villain. It's like a mix of Outbreak and ORC. -Hospital -I liked how this section was more than just a "here's the Carlos section", being able to revisit it as Jill before progressing and being rewarded for remember the locks and searching rooms a second time was nice. Shame RPD didn't get the same treatment. -The Music -The soundtrack is brilliant, good use of the original soundtrack being implemented and remixed into the new one, along with original tracks to boot. I fanboy'd when I heard the Metamorphosis theme during the final boss. - The cheesy Rail Cannon scene. -We're entering RE5 levels of bollocks here. Honestly, I enjoy the campyness of the series. Yes even the boulder punching. So seeing Jill carrying an oversized railgun with ease whilst telling Nemesis to "Take the fucking hint" is just gold to me. Like it more than "I'll give you S.T.A.R.S", Sorry. APATHY CHANGES - Gravedigger Cut -It was a crap boss in my opinion. - Kendo and Marvin -Their contribution to the game was fan service. And honestly, what we saw of them in the trailer is pretty much all we got. Wish there was more but Original didn't have them. So it exceeds expectation. Think the trailer was a bit cheeky though. -Park being Cut -It felt like busy work to me to be honest, a transitional area that had a go that way, locked, go back, key, fight, go back to lock, next area. Like we just did that in the clock tower. -I guess the use for the park as the transitional level between Clocktower and the Disposal Facility was pointless when they turned the facility into NEST2 and made the hospital the link and a longer level. -1 fond memory of RE3 and the Park was how adaptive difficulty worked in that area. Sometimes you got worms and zombies. Others you'd get Hunters and Hunter Gammas NEST2 - It's a good level. Though the entire time i was playing I was thinking "This would've been a great Scenario B area for RE2"

[@muccmaster]

The people defending Nemesis in this are confusing the whole scripted part. Yes he's scripted in both games, but once he spawns in the original he's now a stalker enemy that will follow you around until you get to the next plot point or down him. That is what we're talking about in terms of him being random. It's infinitely more terrifying than here where he shows up 4 times as a stalker enemy early on and then he's relegated to being a boss fight or cutscene for the entire rest of the game. The first boss fight with him is great, but the rest are pretty meh and boss fights 2 and 3 are basically the same thing. Nemesis also looks completely incompetent in this, he doesn't even kill Brad and has Jill dead to rights multiple times only to fail somehow. It's also nice how he leaves her alone for a long ass time while she's in the hospital lol. Instead of that completely out of place zombie horde part there really should have been another boss fight with Carlos defending Jill from Nemesis. The game is really fun, but they dropped the ball on probably the most important part which is Nemesis. He's not in it enough and he's underutilized. All they had to do was make him like Mr.X in RE2make, but allow him to be downed so he's fair and not some invulnerable annoyance. Also when he becomes just another big dumb monster he loses most of his appeal and what separates him from all the other RE monsters. His humanoid form is way more terrifying than a big dumb feral animal.

[@muccmaster]

@Matt White I already said he's scripted at specific points. And no he doesn't just chase you through doors at "some points". He can chase you through like over 50% of the areas in the game if you don't down him. There's only a few locations he doesn't show up like the hospital, park, and dead factory. Have you even played the original game? Yes he's incompetent in the remake, his whole goal is to kill STARS members and he can't even kill a single one and constantly doesn't kill Jill when he has the chance. Original Nemesis is even more relentless, he keeps fighting after losing his head and arm and then at the end he doesn't even stop going after her when he's just a small blob after being destroyed by the railgun. I don't have stupid nostalgia, I recently played the game a month ago.

For me the unforgivable sin is the lack of St. Michael's. Not the gameplay, the story beat. Also, yes, the pace is SUPER fun. The problem though is it shows that all these decades later, they still don't get the value of Raccoon City as its own character. As well done as it is, trading out the Dead Factory with its world-expanding Delta Force vs Mr. X battle with the "NEST 2" was definitely a bad '90's game sequel mistake. Not recreating the intro and slacking on redoing the scope of the nuke cutscene was also disappointing. Finally, not being as good of a period piece for the late '90's (weapons and computers) and going with the "things going to shit in a single day" trope that the original and REvil 2make managed to avoid stops it from being a killer remake. Why do the makers fear showing the city? Only OG Nemesis (and Outbreak) seemed to really treat the city with respect and make it feel like a sorta-real place. The acting is UNBELIEVABLY good and the OST remix is also super fun. Totally agree about the Kendo blue-balls. Him, Dario, and Brad. Because of the missing world-building, city character and intro/clocktower story beats I will have to wait for the first price drop. But it is DEFINITELY a good, fun game I will buy. Just disappointing. Who knows, maybe they can fix my desire with some good DLC that does some real expansion? A UBCS/final stand of the RPD and clock tower chopper LZ defense pack? Then it will be "shut-up and take my money".

In this game, he fails to complete any of his objectives, he doesn't kill Jill when he easily could (he instead tosses her around like a moronic Hollywood villian) and everybody keeps making fun of him (and righly so, since he's absolutely incompetent here). I'd get into the topic of cut content as well but you covered that part well enough.

[@mrskinszszs]

The level design is what is linear. OG had a lot of exploration, backtracking and puzzle solving - this doesnt. As far as nemesis, they should have included more free form encounters with Nemesis like in the beginning. After that, he’s pretty much shoe horned in when they need boss fights. It’s not a bad game, but I wanted more survival horror elements instead of a thinly veiled action game.

[@whodatninja439]

What everyone was hoping for was non scripted cat and mouse moments like with Mr X. Just much scarier. Mr X was barely in the original game, he was scripted, but they massively improved him by making him an ongoing threat. With Nemesis, they did the opposite and downgraded him.

[@WH250398]

Right! It was so easy to find important items! The sewer part was laughably easy... You only need to find that batterypack, and your done.

[@TheNightWolf-WildCraft]

Can you really be mad at that when the sewers were the worst part of RE2R??? It's short and sweet in this game instead of drawn out and tedious like RE2R!!! Not to mention the hunter gammas are way more fun and intimidating than those stupid lame ass G monsters!!!

[@mrskinszszs]

Jon Daczko The sewers in RE2 were more interesting from a level design and puzzle design than 3. The gammas were a breeze to deal with compared to the G monsters, but idk if I’d call them fun. And this criticism applies to RE3 as a whole; not just the sewers.

[@TheNightWolf-WildCraft]

The chess plug puzzle sucked that whole area was repetitive and the G monsters are just boring compared to the gamma hunters, people just like to forget all the cut content RE2R had. Plus the original game had far better B scenarios so that didn't help replayability much. No shop full of awesome stuff for new game plus runs and the HUGE lack of enemy types hurt it. Atleast RE3R had randomized enemy and item location options on higher difficulties which RER2 had none of. Fuck even RE7 had that which I think is a better HORROR game than both the remakes, not overall game though.

[@dylanschmelzinger4226]

Your review/retrospective of this game has been the best I’ve seen so far and literally step-by-step exactly how I felt. Which doesn’t make it right or wrong but nothing has bothered me more than everybody making the value of a game based solely off it’s length when other developers could put out a 10 hour game that isn’t remotely as captivating or immersive as this game and it’s one of my favorite resident evils I’ve ever played and I can’t see it getting old anytime soon. This was $60 well spent regardless if I am a diehard resident evil fan I feel as though I got every dollars worth and that’s excluding project resistance

[@greenhowie]

I'm gonna keep saying this... RE2 and 3 remake are simulations made by Umbrella to analyse the Raccoon City Incident which explains all the changes, ghost survivor scenarios and Resistance. Still doesn't excuse the full price tag, though.

[@steviemac2377]

That would be crazy but from the leak about RE8 would point to that not being true unless the RE8 leak is just a distraction. I don't think Capcom is that smart to pull something that like off though. Also would piss me off because i was really hoping they would've went all in and expanded on the RE3 remake since the original was rushed due to contract obligations

[@jay-no9qq]

38:33 but isn’t the point of nemesis is that he isn’t animalistic he is most human like monster in the series and that he is a very smart creator that is unrelenting in his chase and will attack you in anyway he can which includes using weapons to get the job done.

[@codyge18]

I cant believe you didnt think this was too short. Re2 remake took me 7+ hours, RE3 took me just about 5 and most of that time was in the cheesy boss battle arenas, as opposed to RE2 which had very short boss arenas. I would have rather waited another year for them to double the content then pay full price for what we got. The problem with nemesis as well is how linear his encounters are. You can literally run straight away from him and be fine until you get to an Arena where youre forced to fight him. The first play through was very fun until your at the 4 hour mark and realize you're already in the underground labs, which means not much left. Also after beating it, their is 0 reason to replay it, idk know how you played through it 4 times. I tried myself. I thought this video was going to be way more critical

[@AvalancheReviews]

The average clear time for re2 remake is 5 hours. The average clear time for OG re3 is 4:45 and the average re3 remake clear time on normal difficulty is just over 5 hours.

[@saloz9483]

RE2 remake took me 6 hrs to beat with one character which counts as one campaign. RE3 remake took me 6hrs as well and thats with me in both games looking for collectibles. Its odd you want a more "critical review" yet its not "critical" to say theres 0 reasons to replay it since thats a lie. Theres doing all the challenges, unlocking everything and different difficulties. Now if you dont want to do those things thats fine, but the fact remains they are there. I got 34hrs of gameplay out of RE3 remake.

[@zombie587]

I will say that this is the first video that I don’t really agree with you with but that’s OK. I personally feel that nemesis was underutilized and that the game is clearly too short. My most favorite section of resident evil three is in the city and we don’t spend very much time there And All the potential resident evil 3 endings They could have chosen, The ending they went with Was pretty disappointing

[@steviemac2377]

They barely scratched the surface of the city which was disappointing plus there was less gore than RE2 which just dumbfounds me. You're in the city, people should've been getting ripped apart left and right!

[@Gruntvc]

Jill doesn't try to save anyone, even when she sees people running by. Nemesis is no longer a scary organic Terminator who ruthlessly hunts and kills STARS. And poor Nicholai breaks character and becomes dumb all of a sudden at the end. They should've let Nicholai escape with that helicopter, but Barry shows up to save Jill and Carlos. The plot armor on display doesn't help either. And the more "releastic" art direction clashes even harder with the anime stuff that happens later.

[@mrjooos891]

I honestly think they are going to add that content in the game in the form of DLC. Since it took a half day for Carlos to get to Jill, I could see them adding the clock tower and the dead factory as part of his journey getting to Jill. No way that I'm saying it's okay that it is cut from the game in the first place, I'm just saying that could be a way for them to put it in.

[@djbeema]

I think they've announced there won't be any significant dlc for this game as they are already moving on to other projects :/

[@cookieface80]

The RE3 team is making RE4 now, the only dlc will be the classic costumes.

[@thedjrush]

First time i gotta disagree with you.... no reason to have so much cut content for such a beloved game take Re remake on gamecube for example everything is there plus even more that's how a remake is done right!! This game needed at least another year of development

[@dodgethis1986]

You keep going on about how great the pacing is and i can't help but shake my head. If there is one aspect about this game that i hate more than the cut content it's the breakneck pace. You never spend more than 15-20 minutes in the same area, you very rarely have to backtrack, if the game even allows it. My benchmark for all Resident Evil titles, past and future, will always be the tone and mood of the original Resident Evil. Going down a hallway with 4 doors. One is locked, one is open and has a puzzle you can't solve yet, one is open with an enemy and some supplies and one gets you the puzzle item you need to solve in room 2 so you can get the key to open door 1 which gets you a key to open a door on the other side of the level which triggers an event that sends you back to a different area that you passed a couple times before. But the real shame is that there is no more environment descriptions when pressing the interact key at an object.

[@elknolasshrineofraja3966]

🌸🌹I certainly cannot concur that Jill’s character was handled “well” within the scope of Remakes depiction. It is so that Jill went from “cute but resourceful go-getter with a deep empathy for others, but one that still would rise to occasion when needed” to more a “one-dimensional stoic with masculine features, who curses like a sailor to appear tough. I know not who this is, but it is certainly not Jill.🌹🌸

[@toukie]

The thing with Marvin really hit me hard, like you. I think it's because he tells Leon "And don't make my mistake. If you see one of those things - uniform or not - you do not hesitate. You take it out... or you run. Got it?" so the fact that it was Brad who did it, someone we know from a previous game, someone who tried to do the right thing by his colleague Jill by buying her some time, still messes up by biting another person. I was honestly horrified I think my biggest peeve about this game is that the words are not synced to the lips. It bugs me to no end. But aside from that, I loved it. I heard people complaining about how we were told we'd get a Nemesis à la Mister X, Always on our tail and never letting up. I'm glad we didn't. Because I'd have been scared out of my effing mind

[@ubcroel4022]

I only wish they included the mercrnaries instead of REsistance. Then it would of been a 10/10

[@TheDondajonhon46]

@generic generic 🤣 at you!

[@aaronbozack830]

Hopfully a free update or somthing I dont think it would be too hard to integrate somthing like mercenarys with an update

[@mrpussinboots4252]

The main game will be getting some cool DLC soon I can tell you that. Resistance is actually a good game too, give it a chance

[@sic6664]

Would have

[@Gruntvc]

7/10 after 100% single player. Way too much was cut, especially should not cut Mercenaries bonus mode as a way to unlock infinite ammo. It's extremely boring the way this one forces you to grind. Project Resistance should've stayed a separate game. It has both in game loot boxes and microtransactions up to $29.99 to give payers an unfair boost over non payers. No thanks. Could've been free to play. Single player alone is not worth $60. By itself it's $30 to $40 And could've been dlc.

[@IriaChannel]

super disagree with 80% of what you're saying for literally the first time in the history of your RE videos. But, I still really like RE3 remake. Really impressive how you pop this sorta video out only days after release

[@Senketsujin]

Even though he was scripted in the original, he definitely stayed around more than the remake especially in the first form. I counted how many drops he gives you in the remake its only four.....when the original had 7 drops. At least the original had more gameplay time with nemmy, the remake 65% with nemmy is cutscenes. We all spent the time glorifying how scary nemmy was and how he's going to be way worse than Mr.X just for Capcom to drop the ball on his gameplay.

[@Gruntvc]

Only 2 drops are worth it as their upgrade parts. Anything after that is just a waste of ammo.

[@Senketsujin]

@@Gruntvc Yeah especially in any mode that's not Nightmare or Inferno. The game gives you enough ammo to work with.

[@regularsizedrudy5340]

Alpha team didnt bring a flare gun. So how was he gonna find them in the dead of night in the middle of the wpods. Then he came back with a rocket launcher. Brads a hero. Catches too much flak.
