Resident Evil 3 REmake

I read Kiki's first post and I'm like "who the f**k goes for a night out on the town during a zombie apocalypse!"

Well I'm a bit angry because to me from them saying that, it would mean they're making it more like the later resident evil games (4+). But if by "more action" it just means more zombies to shoot at, grand. To be honest, theres very little difference gameplay wise from RE2+3, so that phrase being used on the original RE3 is lost on me and makes no sense...

Anyway, you can disengage dickhead mode from autopilot now

The way RE3 was made more action orientated was basically just an increased zombie count, maybe more ammo. So its probably something on those lines that RE3 Remake will be made.

Fair enough if you don't know the history of RE, no law requires you too, but it would be nice if people at least waited for a bit more info on the game before reaching for the pitch fork to impale it with.

Anyway Resident Evil 3: Nemesis wasn't really meant to be the RE3, that was really Code Veronica. Nemesis started life more as expansion/spin off/side game to RE2, hence using the exact same graphics engine and being a shorter game than RE2 with only 1 playable character as opposed to the 2 playable characters in RE2, and even the addition of Nemesis was well liked and the game is still considered good overall it wasn't considered as good as 2 overall.

Code Veronica was the real RE3 in development for Sega's Dreamcast, but Sony had a contract for 3 PS1 Resident Evil games and insisted on Nemesis being numbered as RE3 so they could say they had the RE trilogy on PS1. Hence the titles got switched around.

The first Resident Evil through to Code Veronica were all super cheesy and filled with cring inducing dialogue.

While hardly Oscar worthy by any stretch of the imagination, the dialogue became something less of joke from the Remake of RE1 onward's and the includes 4.

Of all the classic Resident Evil games, they all got good reviews with the least acclaimed being Resident Evil 0, but even that still got reviewed okay. But I think by the time of Code Veronica the series was getting a little stale, Code Veronica was just more of the same with better graphics.

I enjoyed all the classic RE games but actually only played a small amount of Code Veronica, its the only one I didn't complete. Its been years since I played the first 3 games and I loved them at the time but I'm not sure what it would be like to play them now. REmake was excellent and I will play that again, RE0 was okay but no real urge to play it again any time soon.

Still you have to commend Capcom for mixing things up. You may not like RE4 but I believe its an absolute classic 3rd person shooter. The first play through of the village area at the start of the game is one of those all time great gaming experiences. Such tension being chased around by that angry mob including the sack b"**tard with the chainsaw.

It was also Capcoms willingness to experiment with the RE brand that lead to the development of Devil May Cry.

RE5 wasn't as good as 4 but was still decent and was good fun in co-op. Fun mercs mode.

RE6, Leons campaign was actually pretty damn good, the other 3 not so much but the game has far and away the best version of Mercenaries mode. They put alot of effort into the melee combat system particularly when playing as Jake but the game never really explained the mechanics of melee combat or gave you much opportunity to use it which was a shame, because it was a lot of fun.

Revelations 1 and 2 were solid if unspectacular entries in the series, hardly memorable though. Raid mode was a little undercooked IMO at least in Rev 2.

RE7, again credit to Capcom for mixing things up. The really got the horror vibe right at the start of the game but the 2nd half of the game loses its way a lot IMO. Still it was the best RE since RE4.

RE2 Remake. Another classic and another reinvention of RE. Felt like a merger of classic RE with modern RE and striking the balance just right between survival horror gameplay but with the camera and controls of the more modern RE games in shiny new graphics.

From some translated developer interviews, apparently there is going to be more differences in the RE3 remake from RE3 than there was for the RE2 remake from RE2.

Some story events may be dramatically changed from the original game while they have tried to make the characters more interesting. The character of Dario (the guy who hid in the truck container at the start of RE3) is back and will have a much bigger role.

They also said the Hunter Beta enemies are back but have been redesigned for the modern era, whatever that means.
