We need to clear up the misconception that Resident Evil 3 would be quicker and easier to remake
- Thread starter MasterVampire
- Start date
Yes it does.
Raw asset volume will be much greater. More assets = more work need to create them-> more time and money involved.
Unless they scale it down and streamline it.
I don't understand this thread. The design work for RE2make would be re-used with RE3make. How would it not be quicker and easier lol. Sure you have to create new assets and scenarios, but the engine/design work would be re-applied. If anything they've probably been working on RE3make concurrently.
RE3 was bigger than RE2? News to me. I thought in terms of environment size they were roughly on par but seeing as RE3 had none of the branching and extended elements of RE2 I always thought it was a much smaller game overall.
Veronica sold worse than Nemesis.
More than could name the other playable character in Code Veronica (the one that wasn't Chris or Claire).

They would still be reusing assets from RE2. They also would not be spending time/money on developing how the game actually plays and testing out different gameplay models.
We already know that REmake 3 has been in development for months. I'm not going to argue if it's a little less or a little more expensive than REmake 2 but you said it would cost "much more" to develop. That's wrong.
UK box art was much better with a few tweaks.And the cover + logo is ugly as sin :D looks like a snowboarding game or something

I also preferred the UK boxart to the alternatives.
This, I've always gotten the impression there's more going on here than we expect. That being said, I'd LOVE if they did remake 3. As a kid I always liked it even more than 2.
It sold about 70% despite being end of gen game with much more competition in the genre including Capcom's own Dino Crisis. And CV has never had a better (or in many cases even good) reception from fans since it does nearly everything worse than RE1-3 and visually has aged the worse too.
RE3 is extremely popular with fans and Capcom alike as many RE cameos in other games are RE3 based.
I think you have this very wrong.
Seems like Mr. X in the new one might give an indication. It did feel really weird not to have quick turn in the REmake2 demo.

Europe and Japan have always had the upper hand :D
It's dumb to think it wouldn't be easier, they've literally already created locations that are used in the game, it's not that complicated of a concept. Just because it would be easier doesn't mean it would be half-assed in any way. With RE2 they had to both reinvent the gameplay and reestablish a new tone for the series going forward, they wouldn't have to do that again for 3.
There's not much logic in this OP to be honest, I love RE3 myself but even the original games development was obviously made easier by having RE2 already created, hell it only took them a damn year. RE1:1996: RE2:1998 RE3: 1999

You couldn't always see Nemesis, he does appear offscreen at times and shoots Rockets at you off camera. With camera rotation I don't see any of this as a problem. Ustanak in 6 wasn't a problem in this area either.
Haha exactly we stay winning.
Vs
Complete with the lie in the top left.
They kept it in Remake's alternate costumes and made Claire's retro outfit show more skin than the original, I don't think they'd have a problem not keeping it. Though I feel they may not.
REmake 3 is already in development.
RE1.5 was almost complete a year after RE1, that was scrapped and RE2 done within a year. RE3 being a year after RE2 (actually 18-22 months depending on region) doesn't mean much. Dev time was pretty even all round.
Cool. I'm not opposed to it or anything, just thinking that maybe they would stick to the bigger titles.
Are they doing Code Veronica and Zero as well?
I used to say that until I looked at the trailers and thought about it, there's so much city been redesigned for this game, and considering the rumours that they are already in full production on RE:3, they probably planned ahead for that. Your average street scene in RE:3 can be cobbled together with the 1000s of assets they've made for Raccoon City, which can't really be said for the weird locations in CV or RE4.

I personally would hope they do change the tube top. It never made sense to me that Jill would willingly wear that shit into a zombie apocalypse, she's a damn swat team member essentially, and the beginning of the game shows that she's in her apartment preparing to go into the zombie apocalypse, it's not like she was out on a date when the outbreak started or something.
Sure keep it as an unlock, but I really, really can't see them keeping that look with the new tone of RE2's remake, she needs to be in something more practical.

RE3 is a big title.
They will change it for sure. Probably keep the colors and that's about it. The classic should be an unlockable though.
Nah, they can still make it like the original game and barricade and cut streets with debris and falling buildings. They can build something like RE4 regarding it's environments.
Personally i can't wait to see what they can cook up with 3. Starting with the Jill Valentine character design, the mercenary subplot and Nemesis.
i think capcom can produce a resident evil 3 remake a little quicker than the development time they took for re2 but re3 should absolutly be it's own game
as a unlockable bonus costume probably just like how they are doing it in re2

There is no romance between Jill and Carlos, one or two tender moments but that's it. I don't see how handling their relationship in the game will present any special challenge.
RE2 was actually several steps backwards from RE1. The puzzles in RE2 barely exist and can barely be called puzzles, it almost entirely fetch quests. The branching story paths of RE1 are removed and replaced with A/B scenarios that never change. There are no alternate endings either.
RE3 meanwhile has the best puzzles in the series, even today. They also change each playthrough so need to be re-solved. Branching paths return and are even more varied than RE1 was by far. Each playthrough can produced different experiences with enemies in different locations, bosses and Nemesis encounters changing location or type and a huge amount of hidden or alternative scenes and like RE1, alternative endings. Not to mention everything else RE3 brought into the series.
Yeah, you're probably right. It would be cool if once she got to the RPD she could get her old STARS outfit.
Zero was just recently remastered for current gen consoles no real need to remake it.
I hope they remake code veronica though.
I think for people that didn't play it growing up it kind of gets forgotten. It was actually my favourite of the old school RE games and it boggles my mind when people dismiss it. Just hope the unconfirmed reports that they are already working on a remake of it are true.
I was always under the assumption that it didn't do as well critically and was a bit of decline from RE1, RE2, to RE4, RE5 and RE7; wouldn't be the first time I've been way off base. Probably just my own bias though, I'll admit I always preferred the first two games.
It's my favorite of the OG trilogy as well.
I wouldnt doubt Dusk Golem. Guy is legit.
People keep saying this, sigh, yes the Dreamcast didnt even have a ten million player userbase, no shit it sold less. You cant look at that metric alone. Once it was ported to PS2 etc it didnt age all that well but it was also reviewer bias against tank controls at the time. Capcom has shown time and again love for that game.
What dies matter is when your sequel in the same system sells half the amount of the previous game
Nemesis might get a remake (and according to a member here, will) and thats cool because like I said originally, its a cool concept that needs to get fleshed out more, but its pretty empirical that RE3 was a letdown critically and financially and that Veronica is one of the most beloved game in the DC library.
RE3 was definitely not a letdown crtically. And financially? It did sell less than RE2 but I doubt that's evidence enough to support such a claim. It was after all developed by a new team and was originally a spin off (although it changed drastically when it was "promoted" to being RE3).
Also not sure CV is that beloved...
I've not played code veronica so I don't have am opinion one way or another. So while I agree that RE3 generally isn't remembered as fondly as RE1 or RE2, Code Veronica always comes out near the bottom on lists of favourite RE's. A lot of fans don't like that game.
Personally I hope both get remade as I would love to play in a 3d raccoon city and I missed out on CV back in the day and don't really want to go back and play the ps4 port.
haha yep
As much as I love RE2 it's much more streamlined and linear than RE1
And I love to point out there's more puzzles in this demo than the entirety of the og RE2 :D
A very good video showing how simplified the routes you can take are compared to RE1
This video is excellent. The guy did videos for RE1, RE3 and CV as well. Highly recommed them all.
RE3 is probably the one game in the series they can have a lot of flexibility with if they did a remake of it.
Especially after playing the RE2 remake demo.
RE3 gets a bad rap but it was still better than RE5 and RE6.

Uh... are you serious with this?
...
No really, are you serious?
I think if you polled Resident Evil fandom, 3 places above CV no question. And I don't really think it necessarily matters where CV places exclusively among DC games.
And yes this is a great video!
No this is all an elaborate scheme, you got me. Thank you for your input.
I wonder where RE3 would stand in a franchise ranking by the fans. It woud certainly be below RE4, RE2 and REmake, but that's it. Not that it would be the 4th, but I don't see any RE game that is definitely more liked than it. The 4th place is a close call.
Ugh.. There have been polls well like on era or the old place I forgot which but RE5 for sure has more fans. Just from the fact far more people played 4 5 and 6 than og first 3.
Remaking the third game would be significantly easier now that the foundations are in place. With the development pipeline in place and a the bulk of design specifications and metrics defined, you could in theory approach this as a content driven product.
In regards to the heavy content requirements, that's something that you'd likely aggressively outsource.
If the demand is there, it will be interesting to see if they try this as either an expansion of or another product altogether.

hey guys remember when REmake came out and fans were all like "herp derp all they gotta do is this this and this to remake RE2 i'm sure it'll come out any day now" and then it took seventeen years
