100% Honest Resident Evil 3 Review 

PLEASE READ THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU COMMENT! :) and remember... even though I'm criticizing doesn't mean I don't love it :)

The clocktower was literally across the bridge... i agree with what you said on stream that nemmy shouldve just popped out the water after you crossed and did the tower

Should have had Mercenaries, should have included the cut content from the original (it’s missing a lot of stuff), should have had more costumes, should have had more replay value. It’s a $40 game with a $20 multiplayer mode that is rough around the edges. I enjoyed my time with it, but it’s disappointing in so many ways.

It really annoys me how my favourite RE game wasn't given the same care and time as RE2.

I really wanted to see The Mercenaries... some other challenges, like they did with tofu, hunk , the extra tofus and the ghost survivors on RE2R

Funny to come back to this after Bawk completely changed his tune on this game. 9 out of 10. Lol. “Re 2 remake cut more content than this”. What was he thinking.

I would rather they pretend clock tower doesn't exist (like the park) than to dangle it in my face in a boss arena and not let me enter it. That felt horrible. Cucked Tower.

"Add a Disco costume for beating on Inferno". Can't tell if you intended the Disco Inferno

I do care for the costumes too!!! For replayability purposes... I hope Carlos gets more too!!! And the 99 classic polygon skin.

To me, the saddest thing about this game is that it lost an appeal of the original game: None of the other Resident Evil game's felt like it. Revelations 2 has a similar structure but with a more unique dynamic with the 2 character playstyle. RE7 has a scary equivalent to Nemesis in the Baker Family, but maintains the threat of them without making them feel dull. REmake 2 pretty much feels like a more polished version of this game, and most people were sold on this game from their experience on REmake 2.

When they said you could unlock the classic jill costume, I assumed it was the classic RE3 tube top, not her RE1 battle armor. I think the live selection system would've saved the replay value more than anything. I also really prefer the classic nemesis to this new one. I see a lot of RE3 fans complaining about a lack of "multiple endings" but it was only just a different helo pilot. Still, Barry should've been an option for S+ runs.

The energy they used to create re resistances should have gone into re3 remake. It's like Capcom got the ball really rolling and then shot themselves in the foot with resistances

Capcom really confuses me with priority on multiplayer. It's been proven multiple times already, that people don't want it. The exception being Outbreak, yet we may never even get that again. There's just this weird disconnect with them and the fanbase as it took them years to finally bring RE back to what people loved, yet they STILL do stuff like Resistance and under developing 3. There are clearly people at Capcom who understand us, but it seems they get put to the wayside by others who don't for some inexplicable reason.

Would have been badass if, instead of Resistance, RE3 came with Outbreak 1 and 2 with live servers, voice chat, and a bit of a makeover. I feel like that would have been way cooler than Resistance imo

After finishing the game today, I came to a similar conclusion that this game is not as fat content-wise as RE2R Edit 1: I also care about the costumes, it makes replaying the game more enjoyable when you can change that every time.

Is it a good game? Yes. But should it be the same price as RE2 remake? Nope.

30 minutes after starting RE3 remake “we’re in the endgame now”

I really wished we could explore the city just a little more, and nemesis should have been been in the game more chasing you in his 1st from, still liked the game

Spoilers below; I agree with you completely. I loved the first part of this game so much, but in the space of 5 minutes I realise they had taken the humanoid Nemesis away already, and that the Clocktower had been reduced to a bossfight arena with this new Dog-Nemesis that I was still unsure if I even liked. It really felt like some producer was sitting in a meeting, eyes glazing over, as a team of designers tried to explain to them WHY the humanoid, terminator-esque Nemesis is way scarier than a generic, big monster.

I think Capcom got too Confident after releasing RE2 RE ... which got them in a good position but they took a wrong turn and made a huge mistake not listening to the Fans as they did in RE2 RE and DMC5

This review is giving me some pretty unbalanced thoughts about this game. So many things they did right, so many things they could've added or done better. And no costumes for Carlos. Like, c'mon. Leon and Claire had different ones, so why ONLY have one for Jill?

My only hope is that they do some free add-ons to compensate for the price. I want zombie Jill as a skin, I want polygonal Jill as a skin, and I want Mercenary Mode so I can play as Mikhail. Do that and it gets a bit more fair. I had hoped the Multiplayer that was added on was more like Outbreak, but I was disappointed to find out it was an asymmetrical player vs player game. It's a big shame really as I liked OG 3 better than 2 on some fronts, but this remake I can't vote with as much confidence as I could 2's new perspective. That said, I do agree it's a fun game, it's just more like 30 or 40 dollars of fun, rather than the 60 they priced it at in its current release. .

A huge gripe for me is the mishandling of Brad. Nemesis' introduction was iconic in the original, so for him not to get any STARS kill is an injustice to both of them. We literally see Brad for less than 2 minutes in the beginning and then at the RPD. The reimagining of Brad's story could have been so much more significant IF Jill was the one to put him down, not Carlos. I was so looking forward to Jill interacting with Marvin, but nothing. Bitch doesn't even go to the RPD, wasted. Jill putting Brad down could have been a key moment for her because Nicholai was going on and on about how she couldn't pull the trigger when it counted. The potential alone would have made up for Nemesis not getting the kill and would have been such a beautiful, tragic moment. Also, like everyone else, the clock tower. So you're Carlos at the RPD, then you switch back to Jill and pretty much immediately go back to Carlos. That alone was terrible. I love Carlos, my friend and I were stanning for him to get a longer segment, but not at the expense of Jill. It's her game! The clock tower segment could have added some much needed leeway to transition back into Carlos. I'm slightly bitter... but the original RE3 is my favorite in the series. It was definitely rushed and should have no way been outsourced because it really suffered for it. I still love the R3Make but I can't deny my disappointment in the handling of this game.

I really don’t mind that it’s short. I expected it. Most RE games are. But I’d rather have a shorter game than a really long one that overstays it’s welcome. I can replay a short game better than I can a long one. I finished the story for the first time today and I’m gonna start speedrunning it soon.

RE3 and Resistance were made by various teams, they didn't affect each other's development. It kinda surprises me that Neobards, team behind Resistance, are way more open on Twitter and added looooooots of fanservice, new enemies and locations as Bawk has already mentioned. It does look like they care about fans even more than RE3's team. I love that RE returned back to it's survival horror roots but something seems off. We got same issues in last games such as cut enemies and one half of the game being better than another, and Peter Fabiano was a producer of this game and it shows. This guy seems kinda suspicious. I won't be surprised if there would be so many cool concepts and ideas that were cut by him Edit: I found out that Fabiano became RE2's producer when RE7 was in late stage of development, so it must be 2017-2016, when lots of stuff was cut and redone. Everything fell into place.

I was hyped for a clock tower, not gonna lie.

Another down grade is the model viewer. Re2 had animated models for many things. Now it's just a couple with no animations. Was pretty disappointed since I think the model viewer is cool.

I'm guessing they will add costumes around the following weeks (or even months). It would be a mistake if those costumes weren't free, though

One big thing missed they really f'd up is where is Barry at the end? 😂😂😂

This game needs mercenaries mode as a dlc for sure

I’m so happy he did this. Bawk has played OG Re3 more than 10 of us combined. Not that I want to be that guy but his opinion has a lot more value than some random reviewer of IGN

The only reason remakes sell so well is because of nostalgia. They should have kept it faithful for the original fans.

RE3 was my favorite RE. This remake really fell short of the original. So much cut content (no storage warehouse, diner, press office, city hall, gas station, umbrella office, clocktower, park, dead factory). Dario has less screen time than the original, same with Brad. Nemesis was honestly a joke. I would always dread fighting him in the original and now he's a joke. Also annoyed how they made him like an animal towards the end. Not enough extras also. Still have no code for the OG Carlos and Jill costumes despite preordering. Project Resistance is also kinda wack too. Half the time I can't even get in a game. 10+ minutes to find 5 players? This game gets 5/10 from me.

I can see DLC being more emphasised with this game more than RE2 Remake, we could potentially see a Mercenary Mode, S+ Rank with new tier of unlockable costumes added, new weapons, enemies and items, returning locations such as Clocktower, Park and Dread Lab used for DLC, four new campaign stories (actual campaigns unlike RE2 Remake DLC) for Brad Vickers, Marvin Branagh, Dario Russo and Barry Burton.

I’m really annoyed there’s no clock tower.

I was hyped for clock tower/park/cemetery/factory. NOPE. It's like the dev team went back in time, grabbed an EARLY prototype from before the game was expanded to full length, brought that back to now, and remade THAT.

Am I the only one who loved RE3 remake more than RE2 remake? 👀 I played 2 a ton and beat two of the four runs on hardcore/S+ and felt accomplished, but with 3 I've barely scratched it and feel more accomplished by completing the game. Maybe its because I love Jill the most out of all characters, but I definitely prefer this over the 2 remake. I rest my case :)

What could have made RE 3 Remake a perfect game: 1) Just like in the original, no Nemesis in the start. Let us explore the desolate city before Nemesis changes the pace like in the original and EXPAND on it. Give us some time with Dario and add in more survivors and give us the CHANCE to try and save them. The survivors would have time and location requirements to meet them otherwise they die horrible deaths. Example: In the original RE 3 there was a fleeing woman in the back alley in the start and if you went a certain direction you'd find her corpse being eaten. What if you could save her and in return she'd give you a key for a locker or something. This opens up replay ability, achievements and unlockables in the store such as costumes, weapons and items. Imagine if there was an unlockable that required you do save all the civilians in one playthrough? Imagine all the speed run possibilities. 2) Branching paths, choices and multiple expanded endings! There could have been 2 major points in the game that allows Jill for non linear exploration: The City Hall Gate and the Subway car. The order we find the 3 jewels and the 4 car parts could open up different scenarios. 3) The tease by Capcom about the hole in the wall at the RPD station and it NOT being made by Nemesis going after Jill was cruel. While I LOVE the expanded role by Carlos, it should have still been Jill going to the station. They could have had Carlos look for the doctor at his home instead of the RPD. 4) Mercenaries Mode! Enough said!

Mod'ers: Add infected Jill in gameplay

I don't care for how Nemesis is right away and not built up to kinda takes away a lot of what made the original special I think.

I enjoyed it, I did feel sad about cutting contents, no live choices/different paths, minimal puzzle/backtracking, but those are by no means deal breakers, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What I don’t understand is capcom is basically saying that there isn’t enough content but they cut big parts from this game, gravedigger was a really cool n fun fight n would’ve looked great in this game on their engine but they cut it out ,they cut out the park that could’ve added maybe a extra 30 minutes for speed runners n maybe a hour for casuals than what they could’ve done for nemesis is keep his og type 2 then we battle him in that form than later transform in to nemi 2.5 dog looking thing than battle final form n that would’ve made the game even longer with more content. Capcom is out here probably giving more love to re8 that’s why they rushed this game n it’s my favorite n it kind of hurts to see re3 just like 99 re3 rushes once again .hinestly would waited 1-2 years for this game to be perfect but we got wat we got

Man I know this is old but I'm still pissed off they messed this up. The original has been my favorite game since I was 8 in 1999. How could they botch this

Funny enough I've put way more time into Resistance than the base game.

Nice review. I agree that it’s good albeit short game. It would be better with Clock Tower and Park section, more explorable city, more and different boss fights, more points at which Nemesis chases you, Mercenaries and other things. However I still like it a lot, but that can be due to nostalgia kicking in, since RE3:Nemesis was my first RE game.

I am going through my Hardcore playthrough now for that 2nd run. I am SUPER disappointed in this game. It feels super scripted and the bad kind of linear. There is considerably less exploration and Nemesis even on Hardcore is a joke. For a game that a lot of people will play once, you would want Nemesis to give the intended experience regardless of difficulty. I wasn't a huge fan of Jill in this game either, she comes off with what I'd call "Bad Sass" but I do love the new Carlos segments. The lack of a Mercenaries mode really hurts it, and instead they shove poor resistance on it when it wasn't ready at all. I appreciate the more cohesive nature the game gave and I don't hate it but a 9/10 for story is WAY high.

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just take the time they used to make Resistance and put all that focus in to RE3. Shit is stupid. I was worried about this, when I saw Resistance was coming with it. I just KNEW the content would be cut in half. I’m sad about that.

Operation mad Jackal (with Jill as a character too/maybe Tyron and Murphy) or just do ghosts survivors again using Tyron/Mikhail/Murphy/Brad/AND MARVIN.

Bawk, don't be afraid to criticize where criticism is due. IMO, the originals still done a better job. These "reimaginings" are lazy renditions. Now the trilogy is out, RE1 Remake did it the best. Cut nothing, added more, stayed faithful. Including remastering the damn soundtrack!

I might be the minority on this, but I honestly dont care about costumes at all .... Like I have only one custom mod for RE2R and that's Claire's "True" OG RE2 costume and still barely use it. I think the real replay of this game is the higher difficulties and that the challenges now unlock shop items to help you beat higher difficulties. It's a very flexible way of implementing replay, You can take as much stuff you want into the field to keep testing out your skill in higher difficulties. Like you first try inferno with both defence coins, then graduate to only using one, then none at all, all while you try to keep a consistent death and time on your games. So you can make the replay as hard or casual as you want. I think this has even more replay than RE2R super similar A/B scenarios, that got stale REAL FAST. I guess it still does suck that your results screen dont show that improvement correctly, but you don't need a screen telling you how you're doing. You know when your using a shop item, You know when your taking longer to do something when you took less time to do with said shop item. I guess I'm in the minority with this view point, but it makes the game way more fun to me ... So more power to me, and anyone that can relate at some level. Also everyone forgot that you can buy infinite weapons for RE2R and bum rush that game too, so RE2R and RE3R have the same problem with result screens not showing true results...... except that S+ rank.

Thank you for your dedication to this game franchise Bawk. I agree with alot of your thoughts on the game. As soon as the original ending theme played in the credits it almost brought a tear to my eye. The original game will always have place in my heart and I'm just happy I was able to experience Raccoon City again in a new light.

“In reality, The RE2 remake cut more content than this game.” THANK YOU

To be honest I was expecting a remake well done after the huge success of R E 2 I thought the would stick to the original story man I loved it but at the same time I can help to feel kinda disappointed

If we take our nostalgia glasses out, it’s a little better than the original, but falls short at what RE2 did. I’m not mad at the park being cut, and the hospital was awesome. I really hoped they would have maintained the clock tower. I like the extra difficulties, but The main issue is that there are no extra modes. Bottom line: if you are going to play Resistance, it is worth it full price. If not, buy only if you are a fan. Otherwise, wait for a price drop. If they drop nice dlc (RE2 had Ghost Survivors, lets hope we get Mercenaries as free dlc), it will be a lot better. As it is now, and not considering Resistance, it is one of the RE games with less content out there, only surpassed by Code Veronica.

I really enjoyed the first half of the game it was phenomenal easily 9/10. The second half I really didn't like at all. I was insanely hyped to play this game and am happy with it at the end of the day. But as I said the second half, more specifically the part where you return to Jill after playing as Carlos in the R.P.D, is where I felt the game went off the rails (pun intended). I really didn't like the lack of Nemesis in the game especially the lack of him with his weapons. They could have done so much more with him to make him insane with his Flamethrower and iconic Rocket launcher and maybe even other weapons. I can't stand how quick they changed Nemesis from a humanoid pursuer to an alien dog hybrid. He didn't become that freakish slug thing in the original till the very end which worked perfectly. After the second half I felt myself just pushing through it. Man and I really don't like the last hospital scenario where you're given all this ammo/items and need to hold off an onslaught of enemies coming through the windows. It feels like COD Treyarch Zombies and too action oriented. I get making it more action as I said the beginning was perfect and you are literally just watching the first 20 mins of the game with nothing but non stop action. I'm fine with action I just felt they did too much by the end. It's like they made the first half nostalgic and jaw dropping and after awhile they stopped caring about the source material and got lazy. I don't want an exact copy, but they could have saved all the over action parts and waited to transform Nemesis till the final encounter or the final two encounters after having a few of his humanoid transformations. Overall I'd give it a B- or a 8, 8.5. I was stuck at 7, 7.5 for a bit, but then thought it wasn't that that bad so I increased it a bit. It was a solid title no doubt. If you're someone who liked the RE 2 Remake you will be disappointed due to this games lack of continuity to the source material which some new comers came for. For a new spin on something old that added some new, but kept the same premise. RE 2 Remake easily did this RE 3 Remake not so much.

I don't know the original Mister X was pretty freaking scary Boston to that wall for the first time. Still gets me

As awesome as the game looks, I think I'll wait for it to go down price. Maybe there will be more content by then.

Solid B. Lack of S+, no costumes.. like you said no reward for the trouble. They could have easily done a clock tower and park section the game was just rushed. There’s a lot I love about this game, but the shortcomings really make me sad. It’s a big what could have been situation, for me.

I'm hoping that later on its lifespan, similar to how re2 remake got ghost survivors, that re3 remake gets some new content like the old mercenaries mode along with some extra unlockables/rewards. I really agree with pretty much everything you said in this review, the game itself was phenomenal but not getting any rewards for beating the game on the hardest difficulty/getting the highest rank is real weird.

This is so sad. The original game was my favourite and already a spin off, then they go and cut EVEN MORE content. Shameful. Just shameful

They did cut the clock tower, grave digger fight, fuel station scene, multiple choices and mercenaries, also nemesis does not chase you through game and mutates too soon and can't be dealt freely with good format that's why they give 3 grenades to wipe him off the script, so to say, they did include the whole hospital section with carlos which was great, controls for game were great and scenery too but to cut the clock tower, no way, if they included that with the game then it would have been decent. It was definitely rushed and for those who play offline like me it's disappointing That's my two cents

Also I agree with you on the S rank. Using infinite ammo or any shop items should not allow the player to get a S rank. I agree it is bad design. The only exception of course should be costumes you can get from the shop, but no items.

Im super sad about not having many costumes. Having a bunch of random dumb costumes was one of the fun things I liked doing in Re2make. I used the infinite weapons tho after I got both characters S+ since Im not so much a difficulty chaser myself. Tho oddly enough my game seems to have forgotten that I had even beaten Leon's hardcore mode at all and my infinite launcher is gone so I may have a reason to do another attempt of it soonish

For me the deal breaker was the removal of grave digger boss fights, i.e. the only non-Nemesis boss encounter in the game with a really cool arena and premise, and the overall approach to Nemesis and his fights/encounters. OG RE3 was simple, yet effective in how Nemesis was handled - none of the fights until Clock Tower Courtyard are mandatory and running away and hiding was, most likely, the go-to option for most first time players. Every time you ran into the guy while trying to get the cable car running was memorable and, while scripted, were put into the game thoughtfully and did not hurt the pacing. As much as I loved the addition of flamethrower Nemesis in the remake, and as cool as the rocket launcher Nemesis section was, that's still an overall downgrade and might as well have been a cutscene due to how little choice or input is required from the player. Have flamethrower Nemesis stalk Jill through the sewer section once you get the battery, then have your rooftop bossfight. Have rocket launcher Nemesis rampage through the streets while you try to hide from him - hell, even the soundtrack for this encounter has an ambient section which oozes tension as-is - why not use it? Remake Nemesis, at least prior to the Clock Tower and excluding his very first gameplay appearance after the power station, is not a threat - it's a one man variety show. Dog Nemesis looks kinda cool, but the fight is not very well executed and has this bizarre arcade feel reminding me of fighting Debra in RE6. The design also does not mesh well with the established concept of Nemesis - the whole point is him remaining vaguely human in appearance and retaining intelligence despite the effect of T-virus. Nemesis becoming a doggo is just a re-tread of Birkin from the previous installment and does nothing to add credibility to the guy's threat. Waste disposal fight is even more arcade-y with actual respawning adds and little change in the fight itself aside from couple extra attacks. What's even more baffling is that they didn't even bother to model acid damage to Nemesis. Why can't acid burn off Nemesis' limbs like in the original? We went from a chilling timed fight in a small room to a glorified game of hide and seek with spectators. Final transformation was, at least to me, not very impressive, as it is too reminiscent of Dead Space monster design with a little bit of Alien sprinkled in, with no explanation of how Nemesis managed to not only survive the acid bath, but also gain inane amounts of mass from seemingly nowhere. Why is his head intact? Why does he have both of his doggo arms in this form? Why do both doggo arms have the remains of his coat limiter on them? We'll never know. I like OG final metamorphosis more precisely because it's just the Nemesis parasite inside the remains of the Tyrant body. It does not have much to work with, so its attempt to regrow lost limbs looks like a mishmash of tentacles, eyes and bones arranged haphazardly in a short period of time. This from is memorable, while remake final form is, unfortunately, kinda generic in comparison. TL;DR - sometimes it's better to remake some elements verbatim instead of trying to defy expectations. Don't attempt to reinvent the wheel.

Maybe they will add more costumes with dlc bawk. Game just came out, there could still be an update coming.

tbh i like the fact you can still get an s rank even if you use shop items, it makes it so that completing the challenges and unlocking everything is a matter of playing the game enough times and using the stuff you earned rather than taking that away from you.

I love your fairness when you comment on games. ❤️ I agree about the price, I still frikkin love this game. I like it more than 2R.

"Resistance" - I was happy to see it was a separate download ... so it wont waste space on my hard drive.

Watch them add DLC to include Carlos’ half day trek to find Jill, or Tyrell’s trip from the RPD to the hospital. Hell, they could still do the clock tower once Carlos finds Jill involving Nemesis still. Maybe they have scenarios with Nicolai, Mikhail, or Murphy? They still have time to release these.

I just finished this game after buying it on a sale and I have to say, for 20 USD it was really good. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but also, it wasn't a day one purchase like 2 remake

If Re3 was an expansion for Re2 for around 30 or 40 dollars I guarantee you it would have sold like hot cakes not including the rerelase of resident evil 2. Good game, not worth 60 bucks

I loved this game, but I felt robbed by the length of it. I'm not hassled by costumes and replayability, and I'm not going to play resistance, I just wanted at least an extra couple hours gameplay. I felt that there was a Carlos mission cut after he leaves the hospital, where maybe the park and grave digger could have been added. Maybe that's coming in free dlc? I dont know, but I loved the my first play through enough to say I'm glad I got it and I'm glad this game got remade - I just wish it never cost £50.

It's not really 100% honest when you claim RE3 remake cut more than RE2 remake and that RE2 wasn't criticised for things it did take away, that's a straight up lie. The zapping system being chief among them, I barely saw a review or player who didn't consider this a significant loss. Also the A&B scenarios felt less unique than previously, another very common criticism of the remake. RE2 also didn't cut massive segments of the original game, it streamlined some (Opening city section) and massively expanded others (Sewers). Whereas, RE3 completely did away with the clock tower segment for example, not to mention the park and dead factory have next to no traces left. If you remove 3 locations and add 3 locations, you're left with...the same number of locations, whereas you could expand what you have or add new ones ontop. The fact the game is criminally short tells you that in the aggregate more was taken away than was added. You also mention replayability and I agree that the extra difficulties offer variety and replayability. You know what else did though? The fact the original game also had some randomised spawns, sometimes zombies, sometimes dogs, you either got the grenade launcher in the STARS office or the Magnum, which significantly impacts speedrunning, the fact you had decisions that could impact the game, avoiding some encounters that are more difficult than others. They took those things away and added extremely hard difficulties, that's at best breaking even when you could have expanded what was already there.

Emotionally I just didn't care about what was happening. Nemesis chases you literally for 30 seconds at a time with regular save points, so Mr X wins as a 'nemesis' character imo. But the emotional content is the clincher. I really cared about what was happening in remake 2. In og re3 there's the emotional rollercoaster of getting to the end of clocktower, only to have your dreams crushed w one rocket launch. In remake 3 you spend the whole last area pointlessly making a cure that immediately gets ... Yeah. It's a shame because we all saw so much beauty and potential for the series after remake 2. Capcom would've ultimately made more money too, if they'd made a better game.

I agree with the gripes, this is definitely how I felt however. I think they can fix a lot of these issues with free dlc. Also it is nice that capcom can make a release date without having the game break day 1. They did a great job, they could have done better, but I still want them to continue making great RE games. Heres to hoping for a re1 remake remake, and re0 remake. Great video.

I agree with everything Bawk said here. As an RE fan I really loved it but the lack of costumes the no S+ rank. Project Resistance is pretty rough. When will capcom take the hint RE fans aren’t digging the multiplayer stuff. Also rumor now is they want to remake 4 when a good majority of the fans would prefer other games to be remade. Capcoms revival of survival horror might be short lived

Rushed game for money But the real pain in the ass ?The people clapping the game "Oh is not short,oh i love it,oh people complaining about the game being short are haters" Probably the developers think the same about the game being short,and they rushed the game cuz the boss wants more money,and the boss is always right

RE3 2020 reminds me of what Dead Space 2 was to Dead Space 1. The difference is that Dead Space 2 was a game that had a proper dev cycle and its cut down "linear" design was still satisfying.

Nemesis was to much on rails I wanted them to reimagine re3 and build it similar to re2r like a stalking nemy similar mr x woulda made so many more people happy

100% agree with you about using new plus weapons to get an S rank. S rank should only be for play throughs without any extra items or weapons. I have a feeling DLC costumes are on the way . Hopefully they fill in more of Carlos story.

It feels like Capcom keep missing their chance at giving players a somewhat "classic" co-op experience similar to the Outbreak titles. It's clear they're able to make co-op content, but they just seem to be repeatedly missing the mark and give us stuff like Project Resistance instead.

Pros - Soundtracks - Improved hunter/gamma designs - Lickers are in the game - Nemesis has a flamethrower as a new weapon - Improved hospital section Cons - Lack of costumes - Lack of puzzles - Ink ribbons should have been an option to players - Jill never explored the RPD, instead they changed it to Carlos - Jill never met Marvin - Nemesis only has 3 forms - Normal, dog and final form (even birkin has more forms) - Clock tower was removed - Park was removed - Gas station was removed - No cemetery/abandoned house - Huge worm was removed - Freeze rounds was removed - Brainsucker/drain deimos don't look intimidating - Fate of Dario was never explored ( we know he dies, but...) - No altenate endings, no Barry cameo - Nicholai doesn't seem as cunning as in the original - The new Nest lab was a rip off from RE2 remake (developers are lazy) - Jill's famous words ( you want stars, i'll give you stars) was instead used earlier and not used after final battle

Appreciate the review. Jill Valentine IS Resident Evil, Resident Evil is Jill Valentine. I guess she'll have to wait for another moment in the future to shine where she can't be eclipsed by game flaws like we've seen in this title. She's my favorite RE character and I really feel bad for her.

For me its fine if they Add more costumes as free DLC in the near future. 3 more for Jill, and 3 more for Carlos. It can be from original RE3 or just create new costumes. I'm fine with either.

I liked this game but it fell short. Should've been $40 or atleast included mercharies. I really don't get why they cut about 40% of the game...

I'm hoping they will add free DLC content later, as they did with RE2 Remake. Not just costumes, but expanded new modes.

The fact that you keep saying RE2 remake didn't change anything is really bizarre to me. I feel like the environments and puzzles in RE2make are very significantly different than the original. Things that come to mind are the sewers, the lab, the Ada/Sherry parts, the changed and removed enemies, the overall aesthetic, etc. To me it seems like RE2 and RE3 are comparably different than their originals but the exception is where RE2 blundered a little bit on the B routes RE3 totally blundered on not having multiple routes, not spending enough time in the core part of RC at the start, and just altogether removing areas of the game for no real reason. The hospital was definitely wayyyy better than the hospital in the original but I don't get why we wouldn't also get the park and especially the clocktower which to me is a very iconic part in the game.

They need to add the Clock Tower, park, and Dead Factory and other puzzle elements (make it just like the Original RE 3 and longer game play) in DLC and bonus stage. They need to make a Remake of RE:Code Veronica X , and RE: Dead aim. They need to listen to the RE fans comments.

Well this game really needs to be fixed ! Add the missing locations... Directors cut would be very appreciated

Long time RE fan. I’ve been loving Resistance, as you said. I agree with you 100% though. Seeing as they’ve been doing remakes. If RE4 was to ever be remade. I’d want them to take their time with it. Nothing needs to be rushed, it gets messy.

Well hopefully they add free dlc like they did for 2 to make up for the cut content.

I’m honestly suprised that no one I’ve seen has mentioned how the RE2 remake removed the zapping system, the interactions between Leon and Claire, as well as relegating the alligator to a simple chase scene I think there may have been more plans that were scrapped for Katherine Warren or some other female character, since I remember hearing audio of screaming that wasn’t used in the game (I think)

Capcom gets a D- for effort.

I just don't like how many big reviewers are complaining about the length of the game and then comparing it to re2 remake. My first blind playthrough was 32 minutes shorter than my re2re playthrough and, as you said, the additional scenarios on re2 remake were essentially non-existent; They were just slight changes to sequencing. Just feels unfair to me when big reviews that are shaping public perception of the game are extremely exaggerating the length of re2.

It's a decent game overall but disappointing compared to the RE2 Remake and way too short.

Capcom was lazy for not adding more costumes? Yea maybe The game would have been SO much better if they added 7 costumes? Nah Imo to make it better they had to add more puzzles and try to make the game longer. Difficulty as an incentive to replay the game is not as good as having alternative endings or alternative scenarios. Or even those moments where you could choose what to do like OG re3. THAT gives the game replayability. Edited cus didn't want to sound too mean.

Honestly I absolutely love project resistance. Its an interesting take and very fun to play. I feel like if Capcom had just done right by RE3 remake and just paid more care into the specifics of the game. And maybe just full released Resistance a month later, we wouldn't see even close to as much backlash towards resistance. I feel like people are pissed about RE3 (understandably) And taking it out on resistance. Resistance isn't perfect but its honestly a ton of fun and I'm disappointed that there will be no point in playing it as it'll be deader than a doornail within a month. Quetimes are already around 4-15 min

It honestly wouldn't of taken that long to make the outfits. Back in 99 it was easy. It's probably easier now a days. Please add free dlc like re2r. Add a hunk merc mode that also adds points to the shop for an alternative to beating the game on inferno because not everyone wants to struggle that much. And it's so cheap getting a s rank with the shop items. Add the s rank. Totally agreed bawk. Great honest review

Imagine if instead of making RE Resistance, Capcom pooled all of those extra resources and time into RE3R instead on top of what they've already made. We'd probably have a mercenaries mode and more.

Clocktower cut,raccoon city park cut,graveyard and gravedigger cut,news building cut...yeah im going to point out a lot was cut and not much was added to make up for it,especially since the places i mentioned personally are more epic then what they added,and cutting mercenaries mode was also a blow,theres just no replay value here for me,if the game was so short they really needed to keep the live selection choices mechanic
