Resident Evil 3 Review Thread

Welp the length killed this game for me will wait for the price drop RE2 dropped to $20 pretty quickly.
Didn't the original get like an 89? Thats pretty great if you ask most people.
Yeah, another game just one year after the last one got me worried.
The good news is that the base is solid. Modders will soon give us back the nemesis we deserve, and maybe even some of the cut content. Coming bundled with another game will help this game going down in price really fast. I can wait, no problem.

The reason I never played it back then despite loving 1 and 2 was because of tepid reactions, almost everything I heard and read was that it wasn't anywhere near RE 1 and 2 in quality. It's the only mainline RE I haven't played so I'm excited to see for myself and this seems to be a great remake.
This is what baffles me the most, maybe it will make sense when I play it, but right now I am like what the heck.
How can it be kept intact when the new labs are totally different? I absolutely loved the lab from the original game, lots of different areas. I find the new lab too linear and soulless in comparison. And of course the missing factory...
No I mostly stay away from them and after this one I'm going to make sure I keep staying away.
Maybe you did ;) but I distinctly remember RE 3 not being considered great by most people.
Wasn't that put together with the sewers? Like the cable car and spark gun. Most of it is there but some allocations made more sense to me like the cable car. Its unlike the clock tower and news building in RE3R afaik.
Who cares if they weren't particularly expansive if they were some of the best areas in the game and people dislike the pacing of the remake anyway?
REmake 2 second half is definetly weaker, but at least 'most' locations were there.
Wow this is super disappointing. How do you drop the ball on something so integral?
Not on hardcore.
You should try the original if you have a ps3/vita/psp. While you may not like it as much as 1, and 2, it's still a fun experience.
I loved classic RE3 and hearing so much of its content is missing is a huge bummer. No ink ribbons either. I wish they would have taken another year of development time. After finishing RE2R, the first thing I thought of is how well a remake of RE3 would be in the same style. Now..this will be a game I pick up on sale later in the year :(
Honestly. The stuff I'm reading on this board today. Lol
These reviews were what I expected. The original RE2 was far more beloved than RE3. Plus, this remake comes only 1.5 years after RE2 which takes away from the wow factor.
Could you for once not act as a condescending corporate apologist?
The cut areas /were expansive/ for the original scope, they included famous and memorable story beats, and featured a more baroque set of locations to contrast with the most common industrial and laboratory areas.
Not to mention they also cut the Dead Factory, which is, besides a very significant Lore location, the entire final dungeon of the game.
By keeping the same base storyline, they are effectively a truncated version of the original, and fans are concerned. So don't come here with "it's not a big deal" because it is a big deal.
I think I'm one of the few that preferred the new lab. A definite high point in the game for me. Now the sewers....
in world of gaming reviews and high expectations for some titles
Nope. Inferno (the new hardest difficulty) is locked behind completion.
In ERA land and comparing it to other big hitters Capcom released recently I can understand the reaction.
No, it's about the same.

Edit: I wasn't able to find PS1 aggregate.
Because turning your brain off is a very popular pastime here
This shouldn't be allowed
I'm not seeing a majority of the reviews complaining about the pacing.
Shame they toned down the gibbing according to EasyAllies. While I'm not the biggest gore fan, I found it to be amazing on a technical level in RE2. I guess maybe the more open environments of 3 means making concessions somewhere?
The one where it's a sequel to a strong GotY contender and is barely above 80 on MC right now.
Which is why Hardcore was the definitive experience and I refused to touch it on normal.
Bummer. I'll be doing several runs for the platinum though so I guess it's not a huge deal. Thank you!
I liked the sewers in my B run. It was tense and it felt like a good piece of horror. The new lab I was cool with, I found the old lab to be boring.
I feel like putting this here to describe the exact energy of this thread:
Seriously
get the fuck out of here
More like sad :(
The score doesn't matter to me; it's what I am reading in the reviews that is concerning.
-boring level design
-collection of linear set pieces
-super scripted Nemesis
-no clock tower
-no park
-no ink ribbons or typewriters
-Quick time events apparently? seriously??
