Resident Evil 3 - First Gameplay Footage barrage
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
I hope that the gameplay is balanced so that despite Jill being adept at dealing with the threat at hand, it always feels like a little too much. Ready, but vulnerable enough to make a compelling horror game.
same here.
didn't even bother playing the 2nd run.
sooo disappointing..
I think the game will be expanded enough. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the size of RE2's A and B scenarios put together.
As long as there are a lot of of unlocks I will be replaying this a lot anyway like all good REs.
First playthrough is going to take me a good while looking over all the details like posters for hours.

I wonder if re3 will be as speed run friendly as re2 remake. That game was made with speed running in mind. Had a big community around it.
You should! The 2nd run is great. Maybe it wasn't what you hoped for but it's still quite good. Also the 4th Survivor is great in RE2 remake as well.
Even if the remake is 6 hours I'd say it's still longer than the original.
Looks like he'll be a partner character for Carlos, the trailer showed them entering the RPD together.
Don't know if it's been posted here but the director and producers of the game gave a couple of japanese interviews.
No Live Selection and No Mercenaries are confirmed.
And here I was, hoping for a Carlos campaign... oh well. :{
As long as the campaign is solid, I won't miss the Danger/Live Selection mechanic. Honestly I'd have rather had REmake2 have two unique campaigns rather than the odd remix and remixed again options. Not that it made REmake 2 bad going that route and the development gave them little choice I imagine, but it certainly felt less satisfying playing the other character and scenarios.
It actually reminds me of the Chestburster mechanic in PSX's Alien Resurrection, though with using any herb here it's far more forgivable than needing a very specific item that isn't common.
Oh yeah, I'm aware of the actual effect. But it would be annoying if they could tank your resources on top of being fast and having an ability like that.

That Edge art is great. Shame the Jill cover is subscriber exclusive--would totally pick it up if not.
How so? I feel like we won't get the "RE2 expansion" takes this go around since the R.P.D. hasn't been given much of a focus in the marketing outside of one or two screenshots. RE has also had far more bombastic action titles since then, so the dodge, assist mode, and more relentless pace here will seem very tame and a rather natural evolution of what was in REmake2.
On the flip side, the stuff like ammo crafting, pursuer A.I., and upgrades won't be as lauded since there's certainly a been-there-done-that over multiple titles, including REmake2.
With the city opened up, there's less of a reason for a Carlos campaign, unless it's an unlock able scenario that takes place before running into Jill.
RE4 holds up pretty darn well and still mostly feels like a modern game. It would be a daunting task to remake that game, let alone for it to be received positively.
I do want it though.

You really think they would simply say yes even they were working on more remakes?
OFC, more will come. They are all selling very good. I expect each RE game to be remade to a certain point.
If RE3 sells well I expect Dino Crisis or Code Veronica next unless one of them is already underway.
People really need stop falsely downplaying the effect some of these choices had in original RE3 to try and justify the removal in the remake.
Trying to justify the removal is fine, just don't do it by misrepresenting the original.
Yeah it's great to see him having a larger role which is neat. I still expect him to go out the same way but him being around before all that is nice.
Funny,because it looks like some users try to play it up too,make a issue out of something that isn't that big of a deal.
Because the game had dev problems and rebooted development halfway through, so there wasn't enough time to properly implement it. In fact, they weren't gonna have 2nd Run at all until they decided to put it in within the last six months of development.
I just replayed RE3 for my retrospective series I'm doing and I can say that Live Selection... is not a huge deal. But it's cool. And also, more importantly, I imagine choices are still in REmake 3, just not Live Selection. For example, instead of a big flashing screen telling you to either push Nemesis off a ledge or electrocute him, you might see a sparking wire near a pool of water, or a plug next to a floodlight and think "Hey, I have an idea..."
Like the garage fight in RE7, which Capcom similarly didn't bring attention to because they wanted each player to do it their own way. I told my friend how crazy that boss was because he was driving around like a maniac, and my friend was like "What are you talking about? You didn't get in the car and run him over?"
I imagine REmake 3 will have more of that in place of the actual negative-screen Live Selection.
(Sidenote: If anyone's interested in my retrospectives, you can read the first two here!)

I'm in the camp that thinks Code Veronica is more of an "RE3" than the actual numbered RE3. Not saying CV is a better game, but it directly continues the plot of RE2 and keeps up the dual protagonists thing. It also retains the "central location" mansion setup for the most part.
RE3 is a great entry, but it's not RE2: 2. I could see a new RE2make fan being disappointed by RE3make if they go in expecting a similar setup to that game. Capcom turning Mr. X into slow Nemesis might also take away some of the wow factor.
I'm curious to see if Capcom has made a lot of changes or not. The streetscape setting lends itself well to random expansion.
See,this is what i'm talking about.
Most of those choices are gameplay decisions that you,as a player,do all the time.
Look at the first nemesis encounter,you can fight or run away,i don't need a text box to tell me that.In fact, even if you choose to fight you still can run away.
Or the restaurant encounter,throw a lamp to a gas leak or hide..i can do this by myself,aim at the gas leak and shoot when nemesis is close or run to the ladder and hide.
Given the setting, a Code Veronica remake would be a lot less ambitious than this RE3R remake, especially if the city is now opened up. I think RE0 could benefit more from a remake. More story beats can be reworked and an open Raccoon Forrest sounds like it has lots of potential. I never liked the setting in CV. It felt too sterile.
Yeah like I'm excited to play Resistance but I'm super bummed we don't have Mercenaries in any form.
4, 5, 6, and both revelations games were a minimum of 10 hours. 6, especially, is nearly 25 hours and isnt just rehashing the exact same area over and over.
It's not too much to ask for atleast 12 hours average.
I'm not really here to argue about that, I would prefer 10 hours too.
Classic RE benefits from the shorter play times, they're highly replayable. A lot of rewards are tied to speedy runs. It's harder to maintain a satisfying gameplay loop in the classic style for 10+ hours, that's why most people are down on CVX.
RE6 is a painfully average game drowning in poor design and very much repeats the same padding tropes throughout each campaign. It doesn't earn that length and it makes it much less appealing for a replay.
Re6 has more varied locations than any past RE. It more than justifies it's length, especially when each campaign feels completely different. Leon/Helena are the typical "horror" playthrough, Chris/Piers are the military action power fantasy, Sherry/Jake is the experimental campaign with the Nemesis knock off Ustanak. Theres a few stages shared because of the 4 player online match up stuff, but those arent every stage. College, City, Church, Underground Lab, China, Undersea Lab, Russian ruins, Russian caves, blizzarding snow field, large boat, etc.
And the gameplay itself is subjective, but regardless of taste it's nowhere near bad. It works, it does what it wants to do exceptionally well.
I think it was more of a hardware issue than an inherent setting issue. Devs back in 1999 just couldn't get very detailed realtime environments out of the Dreamcast. The dynamic lighting in the HD release goes a long way to adding more atmosphere.
Say what you want about RE6, which is the most polarizing game in the series, it's length was great and most of all felt complete as it was packed with original content.
Plus a large variety of enemy types. RE6 is great. The culmination of the promise shown since 1. Bioweapons unleashed upon the world.

The title screen for RE3 was edited a bit to use upscaling software to show, but that is the RE3 title screen (there's an edit watermark on it, but it is official.)
Disagree with the Twitter guy though I love RE2's title screen with the rainy city in the background.
