why wont capcom stop trying to turn these things in fullblown action schlock? Just when they seemed to have found their rythmn back with 2 and 7 :(

Resident Evil 3 Review Thread
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Pretty much my thoughts. It's not like there's a lot to do at the moment.
Cutting Clock Tower entirely is a massive shame though, favourite area in the original.
It being a badass, fun cover shooter disagrees with your disagreement.
I mean, the one really memorable area to start with. It's ridiculous.
Island was great some of the best parts of the game were on the island. All in all was the village and castle better? Yes, but island was high quality and absolutely cannot be cut.
Oof, watched the GameXplain review, that was brutal. Capcom already changed and cut stuff in REmake 2, it's disappointing that they've cut even more with REmake 3. You'd think with how well these sell, they would've spent the time to properly remake everything that made the originals memorable in the first place.
Oh well, hate to say it, but it's something I'll get on sale then.

As someone who liked the original RE3 more than RE2 and was on media blackout the entire time...
... I am extremely disappointed to learn that the Clock Tower isn't in. I had my best and most memorable moments of the original game there. It's the kind of short-sighted development decision which indicates to me that they decided to mechanically follow the blueprint of RE2make for expected success instead of pouring some heart into the game from a place of genuine care, trying something new, and taking risks. I know these are strong words for someone who hasn't played the game, but how could you love the original and decide that the Clock Tower wasn't important enough to be in?
Nah I don't mean in that way, if people feel like they won't enjoy a game based on the reviews and don't want to spend their hard-earned money on it, of course that's fine. I mean people already deciding what their opinion is on a game before they have played it. I could fine well end up agreeing with the harshest reviews, but I won't know that for sure until I've played the game for myself.
The only good thing to come out of the island was the Regenerador.
Just reimagine the game to take place in the village, no castle, no island, and change the plot line.
You'll always have the original for the castle/island.
It's always been schlock. That's what makes it wonderful.
The very first game had a giant snake and a zombie shark.
This doesn't seem like it's going any different than the original source it's based on, which was definitely still survival horror but more of an action bent than the previous two games.
This isn't them betraying the sacred grail of RE or some thing, the series has always bounced back-and-forth wildly between tones and had survival horror punctuated by action and specifically action set piece boss fights. There's nothing new about this.
Plus nobody can conveniently skip over resident evil 4 when they're blaming the action direction the series has taken even though that's the one that did it.
huh, what's THAT site
(thanks for putting us in OP, I can go into the Latin of our site name if you want)
Bloody hell when I said this in the other thread I was obviously being sarcastic. This sounds disturbingly serious.
beat the game, at which point the game unlocks a "store" that unlocks cheat codes. the more achievements you reach, the more coins you get to spend on various cheats (more ammo, more health, special knife, special guns). one of those is an alternate Jill outfit to use in the game.
the X had worse performance than the base ps4 lol the only 60fps was on Pro... ... but it was the demo I think... so maybe the base game is better.. but yeah base consoles are 30-50+ they should of just locked it at 30fps.
LOL, people complained about cuts and stuff in the spoiler thread.
got attacked by other users and told "who cares what you think, game will review incredibly"
game doesn't review as good as expected
"lol being disappointed based on reviews!"
The Krauser fight is the best fight of the game?
The island was great and offered a nice change of combat scenarios.
Krauser was extremely lame and that whole section honestly felt like something out of Time Crisis 2, worst part of the game
Forgot about U3. I'm sure capcom can find a way to bring it over to the village.
I was always a RE - RE2 fan and never really really liked RE3 it was just ok, I was excited to play this though, but man, that is really short. I guess if I can find a deal on steam (I think I saw Wario saying it was $48 bucks today somwhere) I will grab it.
How is Resistance? if that can give me a few hours of fun with my buddies this would be a good game for the week leading up to FF7:R

I thought it was smoother than Demo. Damn, I don't think Capcom will even bother patching.
Resident Evil 3 Remake review: Are we ready for pandemic nostalgia?
One year after RE2's remake, Capcom is back—but talk about some awkward timing.arstechnica.com
"Playing on Xbox One X? Wait for a patch."
there's a typo in the op post, Twinfinite review is 3.5/5 not 10... 3.5/10 with that short blurb make it looks crazy. "Game's very good, but kinda short, so 3 out of 10, garbage" lol
Given that these remakes are focused on "realism", they would 100% cut Mecha-Salazar.
CV they should cut all the antartica stuff. And all the Island stuff as well, they should made the game based on the intro alone, everything else is not necessary
/s
I didn't care much for the beta. It's an interesting idea but it's execution left something to be desired. Maybe in the final product it's a little more smooth out but I'm not really expecting that. It also felt like it played in favor of the master mind because of the way spawning enemies works, they could basically just summon Mr. X right behind where you're standing once they have enough points or whatever to do so. I don't mind a challenge but it was kind of a pain in the ass. Still, I'm excited to at least try to have some more fun with it but I'm not expecting it to be that great.
Sigh.
Most of the issues the reviews have could have been avoided if they didn't cut locations, enemies and bosses from the original, along with the Merc mode.
It really sucks they didn't bring them all back. The game looked like an awesome remake but yet again it sits with REmake 2 as disappointing remakes.
Ah well, I am still hyped for it but I really am disappointe.

Imagine an RE game with a mechanic where you drop your guns then drop the floor to do a cool ass shoot. Siiiiick
Nah, you got it if you pre-order the game.
Edit: Sorry, that's for the 'original' RE3 outfit, not the STARS...sorry again. Too dissapointed to even read.

I didn't care much for the Krauser fight, or the character for that matter. I did enjoy the U3 fight, especially the build up, those floating cages was very tense.
Keep in mind, I find RE4 to be one of the greatest games ever made. But why not try to do something new with it? We'll always have the original.
I have a feeling that purely on its own merits as a game RE3 is good. However this is a remake, so it has the burden of improving upon the original. And certainly in some ways I'm sure it does by virtue of modern visual capabilities and gameplay. That being said, it's really disappointing to see that instead of taking the opportunity to expand upon the original content they went the opposite direction and cut really important stuff - that fundamentally is a problem to me. So while I won't say low 80's is a bad score, I do feel like this Remake is a decidedly disappointing game for what it realistically could have and probably should have been.
I wouldn't hope for it, RE3 is not at all iconic in the way RE2 is
