The excitement for the remake of Resident Evil 3 is at an all time high as the first trailer was finally released on today’s State of Play livestream , confirming an April 3, 2020 release date on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There are some key takeaways fans can gather from the trailer and everything that has been revealed today, which may clue us in to what changes, insights, and additions the storyline of Resident Evil 3’s remake could ent
For fans of these classic titles, remastered and re-released games will no doubt prove hugely worthwhile. However, looking into Capcom’s original games of late, a lot has been found wanting, with a lacklustre critical response to some of the company’s most recent blockbusters. In short, some of Capcom’s output has been disappointing for fans who expect the level of quality that it has historically been able to prov
Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the world of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem
Look at any major video game franchise character these days, and fans are likely to find one thing: the adventures and hardships they endure are lethal to the average human being. While most video game heroes are exceptional in most aspects, some of their invincibility must be credited to the armor they usually wear into combat. In some cases, changing into the finest piece of armor is a necessity before facing the ultimate boss or simply progressing in the st
This type of design would seemingly work best in a more open and non-linear map layout of Raccoon City, contrary to Resident Evil nintendo Switch 2 ‘s remake and all other Resident Evil games thus far, which could be fairly unique. It would make sense to have Jill moving around the streets of a Raccoon City hub-map utilizing different methods of avoiding the Nemesis as it tries to stalk her. The Nemesis may have his own arsenal of tracking methodologies , which sounds similar to the way in which the developers describe the enemy as having actual “ways” of tracking
Having said all that, is Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the remake different from the original? With everything we know so far, the answer to that would be yes, Capcom did take a different approach in Jill’s personality, but the developers were still able to retain her overall character. She remains independent and capable, compassionate to others but tough on her enemies. Sure, she is a little bit sassier than her previous portrayals but her comebacks are always within rea
It is important to take note of the way the lighting and shadows block out the full picture of the Nemesis in the new trailer, as even Jill probably did not have time to get a clear look at the creature, other than deciphering something big and threatening stalking her. Therefore, this can still setup the first ‘clear’ encounter with the Nemesis in similar fashion to the original game’s timeline in the story, without any major chan
Throughout Resident Evil’s 24-year history, the franchise has produced a cast of amazing characters that have since become beloved icons in the video game industry. Of course, while every Resident Evil fan will have their own favorite character, it is without a doubt that, despite a long absence, Jill Valentine remains to be one of the most popular Resident Evil characters of all time. In just a week from today, Jill Valentine is making a return with the release of the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which chronicles her desperate escape from Raccoon City and the relentless pursuit of Neme
As cool as Nemesis is, it wouldn’t quite be a Resident Evil game without zombies, and Resident Evil 3 Remake is full of them. Taking place in Raccoon City after the outbreak , it is no wonder that Jill and the player run into their fair share of zombies during the game. Visually, there’s not much to talk about here; a rose by any other name is still… a zombie. That said, the image of a zombie has been modernized compared to the original. The image below shows zombies as they were for the original game, with full heads of hair and bloody, pale faces. Compared to the much more rotted corpses seen above, the difference is quite profo
In the extended gameplay and footage that Resident Evil 3 ‘s producers released after the trailer, citizens can be observed running around the streets terrified. In the trailer, a voice which sounds similar to a personality figure talking on a radio show, is seemingly blaring, “Don’t give in to fear out the
