Additionally, Resident Evil 3 lacks build-up and most of the time it feels like the game expects that its already players know Resident Evil 3's story and characters from the original game. Moreover, every encounter with Nemesis is scripted , which takes away the element of surprise similar to Resident Evil 2's Mr. X, and while Nemesis is definitely more terrifying than the original, his appearances are mostly predicta
So is Resident Evil 3 a bad remake, focusing on the idea of what a remake should do? Well, the answer to that question is no: it's actually a really good re-imagining of a classic game. By now, Resident Evil fans should know that Capcom hates to be predictable. It is worth remembering that the remakes of both Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 were more or less faithful to their original counterparts, but with additional storylines and slightly changed mechanics to give veteran players a new experience. Sure, it would have been easier for Capcom to adopt the same formula to Resident Evil 3 , but the studio decided to take a different approach, resulting in an even better sequel for the following reas
A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it's disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad's death more meaningful as compared to the original g
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
An update one should certainly expect from a Resident Evil 4 remake is the refinement of the mobility and aiming mechanics. Resident Evil stuck with the tank-controls aiming technique for the longest time, but eventually evolved to allow for more freedom of movement without sacrificing the series' evocative feeling of vulnerability. Resident Evil 2 Remake is a prime example of this , eschewing the stationary aiming design and allowing players to reposition ever so slowly. But on the flipside of this, the remake should be careful not to slip too far from the original game's constraints. Resident Evil 4 's weapon aiming had realistic weapon shake where every slight adjustment required the upmost precision. A Resident Evil 4 remake shouldn't lose that aspect of its tactical gameplay, but should at least allow for more mobility in com
As of the moment, it is pretty hard to tell whether Capcom was able to surpass Resident Evil 2 with Resident Evil 3 remake for sales, given that the reception for the latest reimagining is mixed. Unlike 2019's Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 3 remake is significantly different than its original counterpart. Sure, the major plot points of the game still remain true to some extent, but Capcom has been more liberal in switching events around this time. Many players welcomed the changes, but some hardcore fans were not happy with how the game turned out to be, and others criticized it for being too short and leaning too much on action-heavy eleme
Another enemy from the original Resident Evil 2, which was left out of its remake, was the Giant Spider. In the case of Resident Evil 2 , these were not actually experiments created by Umbrella, but the natural result of spiders that had been accidentally infected by the T-Virus when Dr. Birkin caused its release into the underground sewers. They could be found in the sewers below Raccoon City during the break
Developed by Rare, the company behind games such as Sea of Thieves and Banjo-Kazooie, GoldenEye 007 released for the Nintendo 64. Now that Microsoft owns Rare, Gen'Dai Species it could be difficult to port a remake to a Nintendo cons
The first Devil May Cry was already redone once in the form of a reboot, on Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2013, but to many fans, the reboot missed the mark with too much reliance on platforming and the new version of Dante simply was not well received. It may be worth remaking the original iteration of the Devil May Cry once again, but without rebooting the character himself or the story, and maintaining Devil May Cry's stylish characters from the original. Giving it the Resident Evil 2 Remake treatment by updating the overall gameplay engine and world, but keeping the characters and story intact, may be the better route to initiate a second Remake done ri
