You can "kill" the Nemesis with street objects in the original Resident Evil 3 (also RE3 had a ton of intractable environmental objects)

[ReyVGM]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but on top of the exploding barrels you can shoot at in the environment, there are also more objects you can destroy, such as lamps and valves that will kill enemies for you. Including the Nemesis.

In the original Playstation game, it was difficult to tell these objects apart because they blurred with the environment, but through HD emulation, these objects horribly stand out making them easier to see and shoot.

 

[CaptainKashup]

You can also use guns, that works too you know.

 

[Ralemont]

Holy shit the Worm light? I had no idea.

Also really hope we get the Western Custom Shotgun. My favorite RE weapon.

 

[mopinks]

the thread title did not prepare me for the actual fun information within

 

[Big G]

Wow, damn. Had no idea about the streetlamps.

EDIT: And the pallets. Holy shit.

 

[ciddative]

Wow, didn't know about the lights.

Killing isn't the word I'd use in this case though...

 

[SofNascimento]

I knew about the lamps. Or at least I think I knew and forgot, but the wood pallets blew my mind away.

RE3 is best RE.

 

[Bigkrev]

This is a terrible tile (like duh, you can kill him, he drops items each time), for completely mind-bending new info. I had NO IDEA this was possible

 

[dennett316]

Oh man, I'm going to be that guy.....Nemesis doesn't die from those, he just gets temporarily stopped. You can do that with regular guns too, and you get upgrades. Didn't know about those lights though, so that was a neat detail. Knew about the boxes and other stuff.

 

[NightShift]

I actually did not know about the street lights. Just in time for me to replay RE3 too.

 

[Datajoy]

Wow thanks for the massive fucking spoiler.

 

[SofNascimento]

Also, if there are no red barrels in RE3make that you can blow up then I'll be cancelling my pre-order!!

 

[Deleted member 16876]

Holy shit. I never saw many of these.

Tempted to replay RE3 once again. What an amazing game that keeps on getting better each time.

 

[Deleted member 16136]

Well, yeah, how else do I get the winchester?

 

[HStallion]

Being able to kill Nemesis is like...basic RE3 knowledge. He drops tons of good loot every time you beat him - half the point of the Nemesis sequences is forcing the player to choose between conserving ammo for future encounters vs. burning a bunch of it to potentially get a better reward.

He's not just an "OMG RUN AWAY" enemy like Mr. X was.

 

[Deleted member 4869]

WAT

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I really hope the loot mechanic returns in REmake 3. It made each encounter with Nemesis feel like a huge decision. To try and escape or to sit his ass down and get some cool shit.

 

[Sprat]

Did nobody press r2? It locked onto environmental items.

 

[Wireframe]

Cool, never knew about the streetlights or the box. I remember always seeing it hanging in that room. I only knew about the explosive red barrels.

I'm going to assume this is sarcasm so I can laugh at those quoting this and taking you seriously.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

I think i shot a light once and saw the effect but didn't know what was going on. Had no idea you could shoot other things too. Usually polygonal stuff stands out on prerendered backgrounds.

 

[Imitation Of Life]

Wow thanks for the massive fucking spoiler.

This isn't a spoiler. It's a mechanic in 20 year old game.

 

[chandoog]

WAT

You can't 'kill him' kill him ... he only goes down for that one specific instance he's chasing you and on the Hard difficulty he drops a unique item each time you drop him.

It's just like how you can 'kill' Mr. X in OG RE2 and he drops ammo but he's back up again the next time he's supposed to be chasing you.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Updated the thread title a bit, I actually never knew that about the worm fight lights or pallets.

 

[asmith906]

I used everything but the Street Lights and the Worm Light.

 

[chandoog]

Dusk Golem

You snipped the first letter of the topic a bit :p

 

[Temascos]

Holy crap I did not know about any of these environmental elements you could use, I thought it was just the barrels! That's damn good.

 

[s_mirage]

Mind blown. I did not know about most of those.

Yep and if you run away, Nemesis actually hunts you down. Not to mention if you remain idle in a single area (not entirely sure about "safe zones") for too long in RE3, the nemesis actually finds you. It gave the perception that the nemesis is constantly and actively hunting you down. It was ahead of its time back then. I can only imagine what's in store for us with RE 3 remake.

 

[Jmdajr]

Hmmmm

 

[Poltergust]

Did not know about the lamps, but I did make use of everything else in this video.

Took me a while to realize the wall charges in the clock tower actually did anything lol.

 

[Y2Kev]

Mind absolutely asplode.

 

[Deleted member 16136]

I most definately knew about the lamps in the worm boss fight, cus I stood in the water when I shot it.

 

[Foffy]

This is probably stuff those remaking the game probably didn't know about, so I'm already preparing myself for the disappointment that this doesn't return. :(

 

[Tttssd1972]

I had no idea about the wood pallets! That's awesome. Sidebar, I had ZERO clue you didn't have to fight Nemesis on the cable car... it took me 20yrs to figure out all you had to do was turnaround and leave 😭😭😭😭

You just gave me an excuse to post this:

And you are right. He was ahead of its time.

I don't know if this stuff specifically will return, but I do know RE3's original director though he declined to direct the remake did help a lot in early production and went over the original game design documents with the team, things he learned making it, things he'd want to do differently in a modern era, and things they had scrapped for the original game. I also know one of the big things was more dynamic mechanics surround the environment, like the ability to board up or block doors or making use of the environments as a sorta' cat and mouse thing between you and Nemesis where both he and you could use the environment to your own advantage.

To see what turns up in the actual game, but I do know there were meetings held about this some years ago when RE3 REmake started development. If these precise things are in, to be seen.

What a great little bite-sized video. Brief, full of interesting tidbits, and of the moment given the imminent remake.

 

[Hydeus]

WTF.

 

[How About No]

THE STREETLIGHTS TOO???

I JUST PLAYED THIS EMULATED AND DIDN'T NOTICE THEM STANDING OUT

:O :O :O

According to this thread a whole lot of people. I'm trying to not be the guy that's like "okay and?" about this, but apparently it wasn't common knowledge about the game. I feel bad for the players who slogged through without knowing this.

That's awesome. If we look at the reveal trailer, there is this moment Jill uses a big shelf to block a door. I think it was on Capcom TV that they said this segment is indeed playable (albeit in TPS), so it's like this blocking mechanics will be in the game.

When I saw five people quoted me in this thread, I was afraid it would be oh-for-five... but you have restored my faith in humanity.

 

[Extra Sauce]

man I wish the original RE3 was bundled with REmake 3

 

[sweetmini]

Well, it was written in the manual... so yeah, you can use the street objects to defeat enemies xD

Even on the old systems, with proper SCART / RGB cable, you could tell what was CG and what was realtime graphics, CG had the compression issues and general softness while the real time 3D was aliased and lacked advanced shading/shadows, made finding keys and other interactable objects easy.
I don't remember missing much of that kind of things, we were given the opportunity to aim up and down... that was of use :P
