Emergency Room 3 (Part 1) 

I think this was actually the Emergency Room game I'd picked up from the library as a kid! I was a bit confused watching other playthroughs of Code Blue or Code Red, since I recognized some of the cases and/or models, but they seemed out of order, and I remembered other cases that seemingly were never used at all. Now, I think I understand where they came from much better!

I just noticed something. The patient in the first case was intended for Code Blue because the layout for the textures is how it was in that game! I looked in the files for Code Blue and there was going to be more cases planned (about 57 according to the numbering system), but they had to cut it down to 35. It's possible you might see some more scrapped cases reused here! I promise I'll get that 911 Paramedic video done as well as a few others. Davinci Resolve is kinda messy and my OCD is off the rocker. That VA with the kid who put nuts up his nose, sounds like HE'S the one who shoved up a few himself! :P

This one came between Code Blue and Code Red, right? Can definitely see how it bridges between the two games' interface style. The second case's patient model also makes more sense if she was originally intended for this case, the ski accident, what with that heavy jacket and all. I'm favorably impressed with ER3 after one video. True there's no FMVs or attempt to really give it its own storyline - but honestly, how much worse is that than Code Red's largely half-baked efforts? Not much, I think. Overall the game felt very clean here, and I was surprised at how engaging the VO work was. I mean, the hillbilly accent in that one case was way overdone, but overall it felt like they made the patients here just as distinct as Code Blue's FMV-assisted ones. The intro VO for each case was good too. If this keeps up then it could really be a strength for this title. It's also nice that they were able to avoid feeling like they're copying off the other games at all with at least these early cases, though I'm sure there will be some degree of repetition eventually.

Just to get this out of the way for everyone watching, please don't have super high expectations for this one, I mean this in the nicest way possible. The best way I can describe ER3 is basically DLC for Code Blue. There are no new FMVs, all videos you see were are all already used from Code Blue. Don't expect any moral dilemmas either. There are also a lot of recycled patients from Code Blue and ones later seen in Code Red. However there are a handful of patients unique to this game only. That being said, there are some interesting things about ER3. For one, it seems to be the most community driven game in Legacy history. They took a lot of feedback from Code Blue and wanted to fill in what was basically left out. In ER3, you'll see a lot of sports injuries, pregnancy cases, as well as some some small surgery procedures later on (all advertised on their box!). Also 10 cases in this game were user submitted from Legacy's case creator that they used to have. Oh and a quick warning. ER3 is often considered to have the most gruesome injuries of the series, there are 3 that come to my mind. They are not overtly realistic at all, pretty fake looking, but still they're not very pretty images.

Not the time I stuck a Lego up my nose and had to go to the ER…

Terrified by Patty’s moving mouth and who thought it was a good idea to have screaming in the trivia quiz?

Whats the hardest hospital game you played? For me it was surgeon sim vr ;-; but the music is good :3

So this game is like Version 2 of Code Blue and Beta of Code Red
