To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2’s survival horror 2025 elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr
Resident Evil 3 remake is set to release this April, which is the latest title in the original RE trilogy to get a remake. However, aside from zombies and other monsters, the first three Resident Evil games had something else in common given that they all took place in Raccoon City, or at least in its outskirts as is the case in the first Resident Evil . Throughout Resident Evil’s 23-year history, Raccoon City has been re-imagined countless times, but how will Resident Evil 3 remake portray the doomed c
In the remake of Resident Evil 2, this walking, moving, humanoid form of the creature was absent, and instead, Plant 43 was a giant genetically engineered plant in the east wing of Umbrella’s NEST facility, but was dormant and did not actually attack the player. Instead, it infected corpses and zombies, creating human and plant hybrids called Ivy Zombies, which was a new enemy-type in Resident Evil 2 Rem
Also shown in the unlocked concept art (above left) is another enemy that never made it to the final cut of the game, known as the Licker Zombie. It looks like a humanoid version of the four-legged Licker, or a zombie with a Licker’s head, and similarly clawed hands. Given that Lickers are mutant humans infected with a particular strain of the T-Virus which can only be obtained from an already-mutated Zombie (known as the V-ACT process), it is possible that the Licker Zombie would have been a Licker that did not fully mutate yet and was only in its early sta
The first three monsters on this list are existing creatures from other Resident Evil games, and headlining it are Crimson Head Zombies which were introduced in 2002’s remake of Resident Evil . Although these creatures started as plain old zombies, Crimson Heads are mutations of zombies and are faster, deadlier, and imposes a greater threat to players. In the Resident Evil remake , Crimson Heads are made when players take down regular zombies but are unable to decapitate their heads or burn their bodies. As a result, these zombies would resurrect once again but with sharp claws and the ability to run after the player. In terms of gameplay, the Crimson Heads made resource management even more difficult in Resident Evil given that taking down zombies doesn’t just cost players bullets, but also gasoline, which is required to burn the corpses of zombies. It is currently unclear why Crimson Heads did not make further appearances after the Resident Evil remake. While it would be cool to see them again in Resident Evil 3 , their appearance in the game is unlik
Whether or not they agree that revisiting Resident Evil 4 should be the next major step for the series going forward, nobody can deny that Capcom ‘s work over the last few years is quickly ushering in an incredibly bright future for the franchise going forward. Here’s to hoping that Resident Evil 3 will be yet another stellar stepping stone to more incredible Resident Evil games in the future, whether that leads to a remake of the fourth game or a new title entir
In summary, Resident Evil 2 added some new enemies, such as the Ivy Zombies, made some drastic changes, such is the case of Plant 43, while some of the enemies in the original game were absent, including spiders, moths and crows. While there was some ambitions to include some drastically new enemies, as shown in the concept art, they never made it to the final cut. In the end, the remake of Resident Evil 2’s zombies sticks very close to the familiar grounds of the original in terms of its choices of enemies and their overall design, functions, and l
Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil’s newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake’s release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it’s also worth considering whether the third game’s groundbreaking sequel, Resident Evil 4 , would – or more importantly even should – receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 an
Following Sony’s most recent State of Play event, it’s finally official that Resident Evil 3 will be seeing a modern reimagining in early April next year. The iconic game has been the only thing on the minds of franchise veterans since the rampant success of the Resident Evil 2 remake back in February, and while many forecasted that the game would be a major ways off, it turns out Capcom has its finger on the pulse when delivering the next big Resident Evil experie
