Capcom with the heat check. This is Steph Curry pulling up from 40 feet out, not a great shot, but they been on a hot streak so fuck it.
That coupled with the Racoon City map in the game and collectors edition makes it especially brutal ;_;
If you're not going to treat a game with the care and respect it deserves then you shouldn't be remaking it. Do something original instead.
Don't remember where that early talk came from, but definitely set up very wrong expectations.
Not sure why this didn't stay in the oven 1 year more and make it even cross-gen. There wasn't any need to release it so soon after RE2. Unless this was planned as REmake 2 DLC and Cacpcom said:'Maybe we can sell it for 60 bucks if we add some tackled on MP mode'.
I dunno, I get that limited ammo and puzzles might not be your thing, but they're really not that bad in RE2 imo. The limited ammo especially makes the game really tense and a breath of fresh air compared to your standard TPS. And maybe what I liked best is the non-linear, expansive labyrinth that is the police station you have to navigate. These reviews saying RE3 is comparatively a linear action romp is a huge bummer to me.
Honestly the game seems like something they put out for the FY.
See, even if you put aside the scores and not counting the rest of cut content - this ''remake'' sounds quite disappointing. Who wasn't excited to explore the streets of RC and being chased there by Nemesis?
That's ridiculous. I don't get why they even decided to remake RE3 over making something new if this was going to be their approach to it.
Some of the early "details" are a lot more...excessive than I remembered.
Talk about an active imagination.
did they at least remake generally all the stuff from RE3?
This is a shame to hear. At minimum you'd want everything from RE3--to actually detract from it? Crazy.

It's not the review aggregate that has me bummed out about this game, but the content of the reviews.
I've already played the majority of the raccoon city segment with the demo. A large part of my excitement was the prospect of nemesis being a Mr X like presence in a fleshed out racoon city.
I'll wait to pick this one up cheap.

The game described there and the final product looks like 2 totally different games. What happened here? Did we get bullshitted?
This actually broke my heart. Fuck. I think I'm canceling my pre-order... I could use 60 on anything else.
That article sounded like music, but the actual game isn't like that. I think it'll be fun, but I don't expect much mileage. I hated Resistance. Still buy it day one as a fan
Wait what. lol
I already thought the demo was unusually short and small.
*sigh* Guess I replay RE2make instead and wait for a massive price drop here.
Oh man that stings...
Semi Open-World Raccoon City with persistent Nemesis would have been the way to go.
I think I´ll pick it up cheap later on.
Makes you wonder if the REngine isn´t made for large open spaces, at least on current hardware and their original plans had to be changed.
Definitely remember being excited by those details.I wonder what happened...
You know, considering MH Iceborne exists, this really would have been an amazing DLC addon for $30 and Resistance could have been a standalone option for $20 or something.
Now you have made me a bit sad. Probably will get it anyway, but at a discount instead.
The magazine is wrong. didn't capcom confirm about nemesis can't enter the safe room?
We need Jason on this. Something must've happened or we been bamboozled.
I have a lot less confidence in Capcom's new RE team now, they have the tendency to cut things out in remakes and they clearly gone way overboard this time.
They cut out the B routes (ACTUAL B routes), big spiders, red poison Ivy, green super licker and the giant moth in RE2 Remake. They almost cut out the alligator too.
Now they are cutting out literally core values out of RE3 such as decision making, multiple endings and good areas like Clock Tower & Park.
The new RE team is also obsessed with realistic hollywood visual style as you can tell from Jill's generic outfit and Nemesis ''realistic'' design, but that's subjective.
I am sure RE3 is ok but they f*cked up, there's no other way to put it. RE3 disappoints compared to the original.

He can't in the demo and its not like he appears much outside of scripted scenes so I call bs. Like 90% of the previews.
Wtf. The demo tool me about 45 minutes to complete and I really took my time looking at the graphics and backtracking - and that's a large chunk of game? Wow.
Is weird because
some reviewer said it happened to him, so it seems it might be some kind of scripted sequence when one safe room becomes unavailable for a short time for Nemesis to pop up. That's where the confusion might be.
If you're looking for a semi-open world horror game and you haven't played The Evil Within 2 yet, maybe this is the time.
I also hate how RE3 is literally reusing all the assets from RE2 which is literally using tons of assets from RE7
The whole package just feels like a giant mod/DLC to me, and I hate to say this but I get this feeling that they are trying to cut corners when it comes to elements like multiple ending/outcome/choices. Almost like they are low on budget or something.
RE2's ''B routes'' also felt incredibly disappointing compared to the original B route, that gave me the same ''cut corner'' feeling as well.
I don't care if it's official, I don't believe that for a second.

I want to replay OG. I have it on my PS account, but Sony doesn't want us to play these oldies on PS4. Too bad i don't have a PS3/Vita anymore.
I'll def pick it up but I was in no way surprised it didnt score as highly as the remake of 2. It's always been a "good" entry in the series but it always felt a bit like a step backwards compared to RE 2
Yeah it feels like after Monster Hunter, Resi7 and DMC5, REmake2+3 was supposed to close the gen out as a single package. This would also explain the cut corners in each individual game.
Right now, nothing really adds up regarding development time and scope.
It's also really sad because now we won't get a RE3 Remake for quite a while or never that makes use of the potential of a semi open world Raccoon city. Instead we'll probably only get ports of this game from now on.
Man, what a huge disappointment... especially after RE2Remake.
RE3, welcome to "top 5 most disappointing releases this generation" list.

10 hours doing what? I put in 45min and feel like i seen everything.
I got a good laugh remembering how people were adamant REmake 3 couldn't possibly have been done as a RE2 DLC campaing.
It was clearly not their priority which with all due respect shows that they didn't really get the original RE2, at least they didn't get what makes it so replayable.
The A route is fantastic and I still think RE2 is my GOTY of 2019, but that cookie cutter B route stops it from being in my TOP 3 Resident Evil (which is RE4, REmake & RE2 '98)
When the game was revealed I was hoping they would have like a semi open world design during the city segments with the Nemesis stalking you randomly or set moments before going down a more liner path in the later parts. When that looked like it was not happening I at least hope they'd expand upon RE2 and make it slightly longer.
Now its looks like neither of those are happening. I'll still get it later on but it wont be for a long while I think.

It might as well still be a RE2 DLC, but why not put on a 60$ price tag on it justifying that 'it has a brand new multiplayer experience' in the full package?
