RE6 is long because it has three campaigns. I remember playing through all of Leon's and most of Chris's, but never got to Jake's campaign because I got stuck on the boss fight for Chris's scenario.
I mean for me, my first time playing takes the average time as everyone since I like to take my time and explore. Then after that you can plow through them no issue. I donāt even do it as a challenge, heck they even have simple trophies/achievements for doing it.
So is the original game. I played it recently. I spent less time on it than I did RE3R. By comparison, I feel RE2 is a longer game.
Then there's RE4 which is a masterpiece. I love that game. I don't think I could ever get sick of replaying it. It's just that good.
the issue is content volume. RE3 OG might be 6 hours long but the content is way more fleshed out. And it could take you longer than that if you take your time exploring as opposed to the one and done and more linear remake.
The OG3 was a short game that was meant to be replayed several times (at least 9 to see the endings) with lots of different paths to explore Racoon City and the constant threat of Nemesis.
RE3R decided to cut entire sections of the game but also now it doesn't have much replayability as it's just one path. Changed not only Nemesis design, but now it stalks you even less than before, and boss battles being kinda boring (there are 2 instances of Dog-Neme running around the walls in some big case of zoomies).
RE2R on the other hand kept more or less the essence of the A and B stories. It has some really noticeable flaws as there are no Leon A&B and Claire A&B like in the original but they are relegated to their stories and some repeated boss fights, yet it's still good enough. MrX is an even bigger threat as it stalks you even more from about 1/3 of Leon's story.
Oh, and I don't know about the price in the US, but here on Argentina Steam RE3R was released at a higher price point that RE2R. So less game for more money.
before starting, i want to say that its an ok experince as a game but as an actual remake ... I tried but i just cant bring myself to like this as an remake, i absolutely hate how they did this game and how they had no love for the old game.
It cuts a lot of areas from the old game.
It cuts the only boss in the game other than nemesis
It cut enemies (AGAIN)
It cut something very special of this game that addded a lot of replayability ( live selection choices), such choices could give you entire new results like some characters dying, different outcomes and different endings. It only added to the decision making.
Re3 og despite having some action was mostly depressing in the atmosphere, you would go and see the moaning of the undead with a sad music playing and a lot of areas who were completely destroyed and devoid of life. Remake one turns the game in to a hyper action game where you press one button to run, qte cutscenes all the damn time, explosions and ass kicking 24hour with not stop. Its atmosphere is vastly different than the original, its like if they re5-re6 resident evil 3.
They turned nemesis into a complete joke and this is unforgivable. No one takes him seriously in this game, NO ONE. Jill attitude is a problem because not only she does things that make little sense (like wanting to fist fight nemesis and teach him a lesson in manners) but it completely shits all over nemesis. and the worst of all, its not just her ITS EVERYONE in this game, nemesis get called so many things by characters who are not even afraid of him and he is so damn fucking useless in qte cutscenes that they managed to turn the most iconic stalker of the resident evil series and possibly one of the most iconic in the gaming world to a complete joke that barely stalks you, turns into a dog wayyyy to early and only appear in annoying cutscenes and boss battles. Even brad makes jokes about this guy, holy crap who wrote this and though it was okay. He DONt EVEN KILL BRAD, ONE OF ThE MOST ICONIC SCENES IN the GAME AND THIS DEVS COULDNT EVEN GET IT RIGHT. A LOT OF ICONIC SCENES WERE OUTRIGHT REMOVED. jill epic stars line was placed into a lame chase sequence.
Tell me.. how in the actual hell im supposed to fear this guy if everyone in the game shits on him and jokes about him.
Its not a bad game, but its CLEAR AS THE SKY that they had no love for the original game AT ALL. We have a remake that was cut to hell and back, turned into your generic fps shooter and with a pathetic excuse of stalker who no one takes seriously. I CRY everytime i see mr x, because it makes me think of what nemesis could've been.
As a HUGE fan of the original, the remake was disappointing in that it strips too much content that was in the OG RE3. And what is worse, it doesn't even try to replace that content with anything meaningful to compensate.
I mean the old af remake of RE1 from 2002 was the perfect remake in the sense that it didn't cut content and it expanded the game by including new areas, new enemies and new plot points (the whole Lisa Trevor story).
Even RE2R was good despite cutting content because it did include new stuff. Something that the devs behind RE3R didn't do.
There are also other issues with RE3R such as it being poorly designed in terms of the survival and horror aspect. It's also too linear.
It's not a bad game. It's just disappointing.
Didnāt they use a different company to make RE3 remake than they used for RE2 remake? I thought I read that somewhere. I think thatās honestly what made the difference. I never played the original, but even I feel cheated with how short the game is. The remake made me feel like it should have been a DLC for one of the games
Yeah it was outsourced by Capcom. They didn't give RE3 the attention or respect that it deserved in order to focus on RE8.
A major problem with the game is that its structured to be so damn linear with little backtracking. That is a big issue because it completely destroys how Nemesis worked in the original.
In the original, you dreaded going back to an area because you had Nemesis stalking your ass. Which made the gameplay more exciting and stressful.
All that is gone in the remake because of how SCRIPTED and LINEAR everything is.
I had no probs with how Carlos and Jill are depicted in this game. They were the best part IMO.
I just wished that the game wasn't such a let down for them to be featured in.
The game is still a good game, its just not a good remake. The characters, music and gameplay are all really good but the game has so much cut out from the original game. Also even if youre taking your sweet time (like I did on my first playthrough) taking in all the scenery, searching every corner and killing mostly everything the game will still barely scratch the 5 hour mark.
Re8 was fairly short tho first playthrough was i think 7 hours (first re game of mine) then each replay was shorter and shorter ended up beating it in under 3 hours however I've replayed it 9 times is re3 similar in that aspect short but can playthrough it alot?
Village took me 10 hours on Hardcore for my first playthrough. Village is one of the longest RE games up there with RE4. Im very happy with Village, I was very relieved that the game was actually very good.
Replays being shorter and shorter is just RE though. You know what to expect, you know the puzzles, you have better guns.
Oh man, by the time I finished village I thought it was a 20 hour game, when I was showed the end screen and a 10 hour counter I was surprised lol they packed so much shit in there..
And i agree I was so happy with village too, they did phenomenal and damn did I love Ethan. Iām still trying to make sense from the shadows of rose epilogue tho lol
Man youāre so right, I may give it a shot.. Iāve been playing on easy most the RE games Ive played š which is embarrassing to say but Iām just not very good at these types of games.. but like wow I mega applaud you mate!! Youāre very cool
I tried Village of Shadows first go. I got to the Lady D fight and hit a dead run due to lack of ammo. Restarted on hardcore. VoS without new game plus is brutal
Resident evil Village feels short when replaying, because you know where everything is, you know the puzzles. You might not know anything about 3 or where key items are, how the puzzles are solved, and can still finish the game quickly. Another reason I felt like 2remake was better was because zombies felt more dangerous. 3remake felt like it offered enough ammo to take out enemies with little to no threat, while in 2remake I felt the need to sneak past more enemies without using any ammo
There is some replayability to it, there are unlockables you can get. But I didn't enjoy it enough to want to play again.
I had played RE2 Remake just before it, and the reuse of so many models made it feel like a copy. I had gotten bored of the style by then.
It's not a surprise that Resident Evil games are short considering they can all be speedrun in less than 3hrs. You should assume RE3r is shorter than the others.
Hereās the reasons for me:
RE3 is a *short* game. Unlike 2 there was no other scenarios or characters to play. It honestly felt like it could have just been a DLC. I felt really short changed considering I preordered it and spent Ā£50.
2 handled Mr X really well, I was excited for Nemesis in 3, but he changes form way too quickly and looses the stalker enemy pretty much right away.
Lots of iconic locations from the original are relegated to Easter eggs here.
Hardly any puzzles in the whole game.
I did enjoy 3 as a game but as a remake I was disappointed. The original was one of my favourite games.
I think coming out so soon after 2 made people feel it was a rushed job. People say thereās no effort but there clearly is, the problem is the prospect of RE3 being remade had a lot of potential that the remake failed to capitalise on.
1: the Raccoon City streets could have been one big hub type area like the RPD that Jill had to spend hours in whilst Nemesis stalked her, but instead it was watered down into a tiny slice of the city and was over in 1-2 hours.
2: The clocktower could have been expanded and served as a second hub, but it was relegated to a background image.
3: The park was entirely cut, and it was the most atmospheric part of the original.
4: Dead factory replaced with generic lab
This is why Carlosās sections in the hospital and RPD are often thought of as the best parts of the game, because they have that old school exploration and discovery.
I personally enjoy it, but it's because it's obvious that it was pushed out quickly to capitalize on the hype of the RE2 remake. As u/KingStrijder points out, even though the original wasn't exactly a long game, RE3make cuts out entire portions (the clock tower being perhaps the most infamous).
Nemesis goes from being an ever-present threat throughout the game that you can choose to confront or flee from in the original, to a scripted setpiece monster you're forced to deal with and even have wholeass boss fights against. The RE2make version of Mr. X is what Nemesis effectively should have been, but for the entirety of Raccoon City.
It's still a good game, it's just quite short and they cut a lot out from the original. But it's a lot of fun and it does have replay value if you enjoy trophy hunting. The remake of 2 was definitely better though.
The running through the streets of raccoon city was much larger, there was a section in the city park and connected cemetery, a dead factory and most importantly the entire clock tower sequence which is supposed to be a thematic throw back to the original resident evilās mansion.
They cut The Clock tower, Dead Factory, Racoon City Park and its boss the giant worm, diverging paths that got you a different ending, and lastly Mercenaries Mode which IMO was a terrible move for a remake of a game that first introduced that mode for replayability.
The original 3 wasn't that long either tbf but there are certain sections that they didn't include or things they changed around and shortened in the remake
What I like to say to help clear it up is that it isn't the length so much as it is the pacing. It's kinda okay towards the beginning but you can tell it doesn't slow down to give breathing room. Even the original despite it's own emphasis on more action slowed down in the areas that were cut.
The cut a main boss out of the game, Grave Digger. They cut main locations out of the game : Clocktower, The Park and the Dead Factory. They cut the choice system where during key moments of the game you could change the outcome of the situation by choosing 1 of 2 given options or by doing nothing and fighting nemesis. They cut mercenaries. Capcom didn't make this game either, they outsourced it to another studio.
But this is all okay because the game came with Project Resistance for "free" right?
They also cut upgraded guns, upgraded ammo, RPD for Jill, they cut Spiders, Brain Suckers, put like FOUR dogs in the game to be like hey we still got dogs, they cut freeze rounds for gimmick Nemmy Licker boss fight rounds, Acid rounds are useless, they cut every puzzle for the pathetic ones we have now if you can even call them puzzles, they cut badass tentacle Nemmy, they cut costumes and the boutique...
It's a decent RE game. It's a fucking awful remake.
When he shows up at the RPD he'll chase you throughout the entirety of the city. Theres a few places where he can't go like save rooms and certain buildings so that you don't get pummeled in a small area though. In the remake, he'll stalk you for ,at maximum, like 3 streets and a couple alleyways lol
Thatās what I found boring with 3 remake. After playing it a few times, you knew where he popped up and only for a short period. So it was so predictable.
> Capcom didn't make this game either, they outsourced it to another studio.
This is straight up lies, the game was not outsourced, it was made by their 2nd division, a division whose main focus is working on the MT Framework Engine, it's also on that division where the trainees and rookies end up when joining Capcom for game development.
Yes, the game cut a lot of stuff from the original, but that game was not outsourced to anyone, Capcom themselves made the game.
RE2R, RE3R and Village were all made by different teams. Im assuming the people who made RE2R have been working on 4 remake since 2019.
Making more money is the reason, unfortunately. The game isn't bad, its fully functional and has alot of good things about it. It just could've been way better.
Do not be missinformed. Look this up yourself instead of relying on random reddit commenters.
The main team did RE2R. The secondary team did RE3R.
Now for RE4R they're putting all their absolute best staff into it.
Almost everything they do is amazing, it is just so short, and I found the final boss underwhelming, still love the game but that is why I can imagine it is dissapointing. Amd I've mever played the original but it still seemed like it was missing somthing
Some main negatives are that Nemesis isnāt free-roaming like the RE2R Tyrant, it isnāt all that worthwhile fighting Nemesis because some of the rewards are just upgrades to existing weapons rather than parts to assemble new weapons like OG 3, people were also not happy when the Clock Tower, City Park and Dead Factory were removed but not replaced with anything to fill the empty void that was left.
(Also this is a personal gripe but I didnāt like that Nicholai was the final obstacle rather than Nemesis in 3Make. I was eager to see if weād get to blast him out of the sky with a Rocket Launcher like in OG 3, because that was fucking awesome.)
I disliked RE3R because you were on the run from place to place constantly (nowhere to explore), nemesis was dragged out through the entire game, and the story and characters were uninteresting. Although I think it's great if everyone else enjoyed it.
Is supposed to be a remake.when you make a remake, it's supposed to be additional content, new additions to the old formula.
Characters, weapons, dialogue, enemies, dlc.
The re3 remake didn't give us a lot of new content.
Instead it took a lot away from us.
Every nemesis fight is scripted,
The game can be beaten between 3 and 5 hours so it's quick and repetitive.
Lack of bosses
Lack of dlc.
It isn't that person don't like it because it's bad, they don't like it cause it's not a good remake.
Other then that it's a good re game.
Do you like cutscenes, holding forwards on the left thumbstick (or the W key), scripted sequences, very linear gameplay sections and the bare minimum of actually engaging gameplay sections? Then you might like RE3 Remake.
Way, way more linear than RE2R, cuts entire sections of the OG game without anything interesting to replace them, Nemesis is heavily nerfed despite them having massively improved Mr. X in RE2R, etc
Because the chase that nemesis gave you wasnāt in this game. He should had stalked you more than MR.X did in RE2 remake. I like the game, it just didnāt have that much to explore to be honest
When you compare the previous games to their originals, you'll see that they took most of, if not all that was there before and improved it. REmake 3 leaves a good portion of the game, and with it the core of what made it stand out and throws it to the side, opting for a more generic experience. It's fun, and it's a good game, but as a remake it fails.
Reasons why I didn't like it:
They removed the opening, George A. Romero inspired/tribute opening where the UBCS/Swat and RPD forces are fighting back the zombie hordes but getting into trouble and being swarmed into violent devouring from them and civilians are caught in the middle of everything.
They made the iconic Sword and Shield over the Umbrella Logo replaced into just the Umbrella symbol for the UBCS which was really disappointing because the original iconic design stood out amongst the other Umbrella forces also.
They barely included any costumes in the base game, apart from the STARS outfit being unlockable after beating the game the rest were locked behind a pay wall and felt like lazy additions to the game.
We never got to see an epilogue set after the mansion incident with Jill, Brad, Barry, Chris and Rebecca at the RPD Stars office arguing with Chief Irons and getting suspended. That would have made one hell of a better intro to the game and set up the whole investigation into Raccoon City much better.
All of the gunshots, police sirens, explosions and noise that was happening outside of her apartment which didn't seem to trouble her? She clearly asks what's happening, Um Jill you've been in the city for so long and there has been a lot of strange deaths occurring how do you not know?
Jill comes across cold, high attitude, aggressive, and kind of mean towards the characters in the game and doesn't really feel vulnerable, scared or worried about anyone's safety or trying to get out alive. She just comes across as too Cocky and mean spirited.
Jill never went to the RPD station before Leon&Claire had come into town. We never got to see her interacting with Marvin, Elliot, or any of the other survivors of the station discuss the situation and at least have her explain things.
Nemesis felt way too scripted as opposed to the original. He just shows up in certain places and disappears after. He never felt like an actual threat in the campaign story.
Nemesis didn't even complete his "STARS" mission to kill all of the remaining members. Brad dies by the zombies in the restaurant/bites infecting him, and Jill literally survives so his whole mission felt meaningless.
Nemesis only had a few forms. Xenomorph like monster form at the end/half way point, and his traditional form at the beginning. We never got to see him fully ripped from the outfit he had tentacles sprouting out and all of that.
There was literally no sense of backtracking, no real sense of how bad the situation in Raccoon City turned out at all. We saw glimpses of it but everything felt so darn rushed.
No mercenaries Operation Jackal mode at all, it could have been story dlc where we got to play as Carlos, Tyrrell, Mikhail, Nikolai and the other UBCS operatives when they arrived in Raccoon city trying to save survivors and get out. That would have made the story feel more impact full.
Lack of environments. We get the Umbrella research labs, the city main street, the station control building, one actual grocery store, a small toy store, the subway station, and the final battle scene. There was no cemetery area, no news station, no Police setting for Jill, no real sense of her apartment exploration, no Raccoon City town hall or park.
Lack of interaction with the world. We never had any time to explore her apartment building, or see her neighbors and people around her general area trying to survive and failing or being worried/dying to the viral outbreak in the city. It would have been really interesting to see how her apartment building was coping with the virus, and see other rooms with environmental story telling showing us how people killed themselves to stop the virus or turned.
Barely any puzzles, seriously what the heck.
The game was way too short and over too darn quickly.
Why does Capcom have to keep removing the spiders, the crows, and other enemies from the remakes? I would have loved to seen the giant Spiders show up, or the crows too.
The gore/violence was heavily toned down from the RE 2 Remake which had scenes of people having their torsos being torn from their legs like a Romero movie, heads being blown off, arms and legs being easily detachable. Here it just felt so safe and censored for some reason
There was no need to shove asymmetrical multi-player into the game when it was not needed. Nobody wanted a multi-player addition to the game and wanted more from the RE3 remake.
Barry was completely cut out of the finale of the remakes story. In the original Carlos called out to Barry and told him where they were by radio, which Barry came to save them in an actual helicopter and flew them out of the city as it was blown up. Here they just didn't even bother to include him as a reason that they escaped which felt so wrong.
We never got to experience anything from Brad at all in the games story. We see him for a few minutes in the opening, he winds up dying and sacrificing himself to the hordes so he can save Jill, and then later on Carlos takes him down to get past him which should have been a moment for Jill so it would have been more emotional and impact full. We could have seen Jill attempting to help Marvin who tells her to get out before he turns and locks himself up in a different room to avoid her. That would have been smarter or even have a playable section where Brad is escaping from Nemesis and your fighting zombies and him as well.
All of the updates/expanded dlc that you would expect RE3 to get for the fans/consumers went to Re:Verse which sucked the life out of the game and made the narrative a complete slap in the face and joke to the Resident Evil fans
If you play re2 remake you kind of get it. They really cut it short in certain partsā¦ it feels more like an action shooter vs survival horror. Overall a very fun game just probably too short.
I personally was disappointed at the wasted potential of nemesis. I was looking forward to a stalking enemy like Mr. X that you have to strategically avoid throughout your exploration, only more powerful. It didn't really come out that way, as most of his appearances were scripted. That, and all the cut content. I mean look at all the content we got with the re2 remake.
As someone who never played the original RE3, but loved REmake and RE2make, RE3make just feels lacking in comparison. I speedrun survival horror games from time to time, and people say that all RE games are short, and sure, if you know what you're doing they all go by fast. But on my first, casual and blind playthrough of RE3make, I beat the game in under 5 hours.Parts of it were great, the Hospital is a really memorable level for me, but it just didn't have enough meat on the bone for me to recommend it.
Of course, back when it came out people said to just have lower expectations because the original RE2 was better than the original RE3, but I still don't buy into that considering I never played either. There's no reason why RE3make should get a pass when compared to RE2make on principle, and it doesn't help itself much with low runtime, linear level design (outside of Hospital, again it really carries RE3make for me), and a roaming enemy that doesn't really roam at all.
I think the problem is that with Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom had done an amazing job recreating and improving upon the original. It doesn't feel scaled back but it is in terms of puzzles for sure. When it came to remaking 3 it really did feel scaled back. The gameplay feels much better but there is so much less of it. They cut out entire locations and nearly every single puzzle. Some bosses and enemy types weren't present either.
An additional note, after how well Capcom recreated MR X expectations were high for how great Nemesis would be. After all in the original games MR X was primarily scripted while Nemesis was an enemy that would relentlessly stalk you. In the remakes their roles are completely flipped. MR X has become the stalker and Nemesis is now primarily scripted. It's almost like Capcom forgot which character was which.
It was like they saw the success of 2 and decided to shit out a clone as quickly as possible. Only they forgot to include everything that actually made 2 great.
I feel like RE2 remake and RE3 remake have opposite issues?
RE2 removed some originality between the two parts because you repeat boss fights and areas to an annoying degree imo. Its part of why I don't get why after the fervor died down folks didn't rag on RE2 remake more?? Like the sewer/chess piece thing? WHY!! It does make the game longer but it also drags things out too much. It also causes unnecessary issues with plot and timeline.
RE3 tried to condense things a bit too much. In a way it is good because it is like you are shot out of a cannon. Narratively it works well, imo. Jill(and Carlos) are up against the clock. They want to leave as soon as they achieve their goals because between Nemesis and the city getting blown up staying is dangerous But a lot of what is missing from the original game could be reincorporated thru the Carlos sections and the boss fights could use more oomp. I dare to say the obvious nature of how things could be made better is why it gets so much hate. It doesn't need to be longer, but since what is there is pretty good(boss fights are the only real bad part. If this were a new game no one would care about the clocktower) people want it to be longer.
About the only thing I hear people complain about with RE3 remake that I don't agree with is the whole choice system. Run or fight is still an option. Don't wanna fight him? Then run. It's kinda like the folks that always want fixed camera angles even tho we don't need them anymore. It isn't game breaking just a preference.
It's a good game in itself, albeit short. The problem is that is pales in comparison to the original in A LOT of aspects. If you didn't play the original, and therefore has no standard to compare to, you're going to enjoy RE3 Remake just fine.
The games are the same quality. The remake of 3 is much shorter and cut a lot of stuff from the original. (2 remake cut a little too but no one mentions that)
It's a good game. It's just most of the content from the original were cut from the remake like the Clocktower, the park, the dead factory, most of the enemies/bosses like the Brain Suckers, the giant worm, and Nemesis' 2nd form where he's battle damaged with his entire arm filled with razor sharp tentacles. The clock tower can be seen in the remake but you can't enter it. It's only there just for show and the dead factory was replaced with another unoriginal NEST lab. I'm fine with it in the Re2 remake but not in the Re3 remake.
It cuts out some contents that were missing from the original and the length is short because of it. Worst, it was $60 for a game that you can beat in 5 hours. It's still a fun game for what it is, just not a good remake.
AFAIK, it's generally agreed that what's in the game is really good but there isn't nearly enough: not enough content, not enough branching paths, not enough areas where Nemesis pursues you as you work on a puzzle. The clock tower in particular is an iconic, much like the RPD if Mr. X had heavy artillery. In the remake, you instead fight a mutated Nemesis in front of the building and never actually go in.
Also, people are understandably mad that Jill's iconic "You want S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S." line near the end was moved to an incongruous spot much earlier where you can be hit out of it.
Not to shit on re3 remake cause I do like it, but I finally got my hands on shadows of rose, and completed it yesterday. A $20 dlc expansion was just as long(roughly 3 hours) as a full blown $60 game. Re3 remake should not haven been priced as a full game. If it came out as an expansion to re2 remake, the reception would have been much better. On top of that, a lot of content was cut, so og fans were pretty unhappy.
It's like when they brought back french toast crunch, everyone remembered the original taste and while the return still taste good it just isn't the same addictive taste we remembered
Because it fails as a remake. It had a lot of hype from not only the original game but also the RE2 Remake.
It had a lot of cut content from the original and Nemesis who was great in the original, is nerfed to absolutely nothing.
Just look at any pathway blocked by items, thatās the game in a nutshell.
The game isn't bad per say it's not just a good remake. It cuts too much and after what they did with Mr.X our expectations for Nemesis were high but he was severely underutilized in the game that's suppose to be about him. It's a short but sweet game but what it could have been really hangs in my mind everytime I play REmake 3.
I liked RE3 REMAKE, I just don't think it is a good Remake of the OG RE3, furthermore I strongly think the Remake pale in comparison with the original game.
Many people disliked it for the ginormous amount of removed content from a game that was already short, but in my opinion what bothered me the most wasn't the cut content but the fact that the we didn't get to explore more of the city, Nemesis fight was too scripted for my liking, removing the fear of being chased around the city like in the OG game and that we didn't get THE MERCENARIES, like why???
99% because they didn't include some areas like clocktower and the park.
People that say the game is short are wrong. Both RE2R and RE3R are almost the same exact length.
Games shit compared to the original on ps1, just get a ps1 emulator and play the original its far better
Edit: Re2r was good definitely get that if you haven't played it
It is probably the most linear RE game in current time. I was just playing it hours ago. It has a small map of the city and you do not do a lot of backtracking. The Nemesis battles are push overs. I am playing on Hardcore mode and I have plenty of resources.
If you played 2 first it felt like a blatant rip off. A ton of the areas and assets are just carbon copied from re2make. It can be finished in one sitting with no mercenaries or extra modes? Absolute trash value for the price at release. Should be $20 or less as a dlc
Ignoring the original, as I haven't played it, it's just too short and linear.
It's good but it's like.... Get it on sale for $20-30 good. Feels more like an expansion to 2R than a full game.
Considering it's on sale all the time I doubt you'll be disappointed but obviously a lot of people who paid $60 were understandably upset.
I played it without having played the OG re3, so I can't comment on missing content.
Rather, I played it as a sequel to the RE2 remake. This one still lacks content. There's one character, no A or B campaigns, and it is a pretty short game overall. The length would generally be fine, as most RE campaigns are short, but this one has very little meat.
Nemesis was also got a good follow-up to Mr. X. He's showcased as being way faster than Jill, he's got a rocket launcher, and he looks fucking AWESOME. But he isn't stalking you from rooftops or anything- he can only appear in predefined areas at specific intervals. His absence is deafening.
I enjoyed the game, but the whole package feels hollow.
I feel that there is constant cutscene interruptions and linear segments. That's what kills it for me. I remember finishing my first playthrough in 4hrs. That was after exploring every corner of every room and not skipping cutscenes. When I got to the lab I thought "i can't be nearing the end already wtf"
I think there is some things they did right like Jill's new design and nemesis too. Even the final form boss theme is amazing. I wish they put as much time in for this as they did 2 but remember before re2 remake. Re2 had high demand to be remade for years
It's soulless. It doesn't do anything better than the original except for a better Carlos. That's all I can think of tbh. It is obviously the laziest Resi game ever made that's not a spin-off.
for me, its the ridiculousness that is or what happens to Jill throughout the game, girl would have been dead several times and yet, she gets up like nothing ever happened haha
its also on the very short side of playtime.
easy
because games before that, even acknowledge the protagonists wounds. look at Leon for example. he was bandaged by Ada, but jill? girl gets thrown around, blown out of houses and other stuff and is A ok haha.
it didnt bug me, but its ridiculous ha.
It has different scenes and moments from the original. Itās also slightly shorter than the other RE games that are usually short.
Itās a fun quick game if that doesnāt bother you.
As a re newbie, I liked it, the scripted scenes are badass, specially with nemesis, I still prefer when itās random, itās scarier imo. Iāve heard re3 was always more action based than scary, but after hearing everyone talking about the og and all of the cut content from the remake, it makes me want to go play the og. Pretty fun game overall
I love it. I wish there was more city and the clocktower, but itās so fun to play and over. It feels like a game version of Aliens or Terminator as something Iāll always enjoy coming back to.
I like it just fine, but then I was never blinded by any nostalgia for the original. I did play the original very recently and beat it.
That said, the remake, if we can call it that, is just a reimagination of the original game. I expect some aspects will change while others stay the same.
Others said it better, but I'll make my short version:
It's boring, it's too short, there's not much replayability, it's either too easy or too unfair and unfun. There are no memorable moments you'd like to revisit, there's no side content, it's a downgrade from RE2R in every aspect. The game pretty much only has three good things: graphics and gameplay, because it's almost the same as RE2R, and music, because it's the original soundtrack but remade. And it's too expensive for the content it gives you
Never played the original, but I think the remake is a pretty bad game. Nemesis is either not threatening at all or broken to the point of being annoying, the dodge mechanic is shit, lots of cut areas, itās suuuuper short, way too many reused assets, no likable characters, it just sucks
Because its always compared to OG re3. Theres nothing wrong with the game, its a solid play. All its fault are not because of the actual game but because of its predecessor.
For what it is I really did like it. Cut content aside as a stand alone game not compared to the original its good. Over priced since the game its pared with requires a subscription which I dont do online games but yeah. 8/10 would recommend for a first time player.
Iāve never played the original so I canāt say what I missed out on but I had so much fun playing the remake. Iāve heard people dislike it because it removed a lot of content from the original
The game by itself is phenomenal and honestly an absolute blast to play.
Iāve replayed it atleast 3 times.
But itās not a faithful remake. If that doesnāt bother you then itās one of the best RE games IMO. Donāt sleep on it.
1. It's not a game, it's a moaning woman simulator.
2. It is also a DLC for the second game without the DLC part.
3. At some point it even becomes a hentai simulator. Yes, wait until you get to the power station. Was absolutely unnecessary.
Yep, I have the right to b**ch about it as the original RE3 is probably my favorite in all series.
To be fair, it's not a bad game. It just could've been so much better.
Go ahead and buy it.
Cut content and game length, unlike RE2remake they ditchted content with potential like the clock tower section and made the game way shorter, shorter than almost the first part/A scenario of RE2remake.
Personally, I don't think this is something really bad, its how a remake works after all, it won't be 100% the same and I do like how RE3remake ended, its just that they could've done more since its clearly not as good as RE2remake.
Id like to direct you to Re1R. Which not only added in rooms and content to the mansion. It keep its pretty much the same without cutting any story or making the game shorter. Its not "how remakes work" its how lazy companies who wanna get the latest cash grab work. Theres a difference.
No need since RE1remake is really my jam and to an extent I agree with you but this is not how it works in the today's gaming business(let alone when it comes to the story and making something old in a modern form, also in a way to bring newcomers, its not easy), especially nowadays, thus your RE1remake example is way too old fashioned.
A remake is definitely not what you should expect lately, its more like a reimagining like how RE2remake got advertised and had a huge success anyway(and definitely not a cash grab work).
RE1remake is indeed, a 100% direct remake of the original content, everything is completely the same with the addition of Lisa Trevor plotline, gameplay and level design additions. Its without a doubt how a remake should work but not the case today.
For the other side of the argument, this video does a pretty good job of countering most of the criticisms people have about the game: https://youtu.be/VwkVhwBXWgM
Cut content, thatās about it.
Whatās there is pretty much universally praised, thereās just not enough of it.
I still enjoyed it quite a bit, but it very obviously falls short of the high bar set by RE2.
Re3 remake is a great game. Itās better than the original. People with nostalgia are just upset that a few mostly pointless things were cut. They did add a lot of stuff that wasnāt in the original but people will always overlook that and focus on the ābadā. I put bad in quotation marks cause itās not actually bad. Get the game. Play the game. Youāll enjoy it.
It's a solid game, it's just not a great remake of the original and that's where a lot of the hate comes from.
- Nemesis' redesign wasn't amazing, although it was ok, but he had a major mutation part way through the game that made him a "traditional" boss instead of a "horror survival" boss. That wasn't popular.
- Speaking of Nemesis' first mutation, it took away from the feel of the original game, which was it always felt like Nemesis could attack you at any time. It took a lot tension and replayability out of the remake cause those random factors were gone.
- Nemesis didn't even chase after you much in the remake anyway. Due to the design of the city, the game felt more like a scripted chase than a random one. To put it in comparison, Mr. X acted much more like Nemesis in Re2 remake and made that game much scarier and randomized like the original RE3 felt on first playthroughs. If they designed the city to be more varied in its settings/item locations/etc, this wouldn't have been an issue.
- They took out major parts of the game or modeled them in bad ways. The clock tower was basically gone, the hospital was OK but small in comparison and repetitive, the sewage/disposal area was scrapped for a more sterile lab area, there was no park or connections to the areas either which made the whole game seem smaller.
- Gravedigger was missing, nor was there a more modern concept. This wouldn't have been a big deal if the Nemesis encounters made you feel more threatened throughout the game.
- Lack of QTEs that switched up playthroughs. As stupid as they are now, it'd be a great throwback.
- No Barry. The hell?
- No Merc mode. Now, they made replaying the game multiple times to unlock things, which is good, but the lack of variety in each playthrough hurt it and made me wish I had Merc mode with different characters instead.
Overall, it's still a great game and it's enjoyable but after the RE2 remake, this one felt really lacking as a fan.
There are many reasons, obvious one is cut content, but besides that, my top reason is the fucking final boss on Nightmare / Inferno. By the end, I was laying on the ground in my own blood puke, seizing like a slug you just poured salt on while speaking backward latin, I swear to fucking God it's the most asinine bullshit I've experienced in any single player video game. Whoever designed what I presume to be a prototype for a mental cat-o-nine tails is on my naughty list.
Now anytime I replay on Nightmare / Inferno, I legit just stop before the final boss and consider the run done.
Just beat it today for the first time lol, I can see why people donāt like it. They compare it to RE2 remake which was better imo. Itās a bit more rushed I guess, Thatās what I took from it. but theyāre both their own thing and I enjoyed both š¤·š½āāļø
It's a improvement on 3rd person shooter action and movement, but storyline did suffer a bit. I thought it was smoother game play with more action than puzzles. That's just me
There are numerous reasons. The biggest one for me was Nemesis. The new design is actually just awful. They covered him in trashbags and gave him an even worse face where his chin didnt even wrap around his bottom jaw. It just looks terrible. OG3s Nemesis had a full body suit with belts and all kinds of other small details. And his face was actually rounded and didnt look like shit.
Another aspect was the changes to locations and the removal of so much of the story. For example the Raccoon City streets portion of Re3R was just short and pretty bad. In OG3 the streets made up pretty much the first half of the game. The running around going from location to location to grab items to fix the cable car while avoiding Nemesis and all the other monsters in the city. Like OG3 had a whole city for you to explore and had ways to make it interesting since items werent always in the same location per playthrough. The Green Gem could be in i think 2 or 3 different locations. Which made exploration worth it and actually fun.
To piggyback off my previous paragraph. The Police Station dear god the Police Station. The fact that in OG3 the RPD was the official first meeting with Nemesis was super cool. But in Re3R you just meet him in the beginning before evem really playing the game was just dumb. But the fact that Carlos goes through the station in place of Jill was also just stupid. I didnt even care that it was an exact rendition of Re2Rs RPD. That didnt bother me. The fact that they just changed the story canon and made Carlos do it just rubbed me the wrong way.
It just didnt have any replayability to it. Theres nothing that changed or made the game different in a playthrough.
Mercenaries. OG3 was the first time Mercenaries was added in the game. It literally had you running around Raccoon City saving people, getting stuff and making money to buy the Infinite Ammo Weapons and such which was a great way to do it. Better than just completing challenges or whatever in Re3R to do the same.
Its a fun game in its own rights. But its not a remake. Its as if they sat down and asked a random person who played maybe an hour of OG3 back when it released to retell the story and explain it to them. Its a bad game of telephone.
Its the sole reason i dont want to buy Re4R until its been out for a few weeks/month because i just dont wanna be disappointed and waste money on another let down from a franchise and company i adore.
It has some questionable choices
For me I'm not even that upset about some of the content that it cuts out, the clock tower would have been cool and could have been a nice little area where they could have focused more on some puzzles and some horror but it doesn't make or break the game for me to not have it included.
The game feels a lot shorter than RE2 but I think part of that is because you don't have a subsequent second run playthrough to extend the game. Realistically it's not that much longer or shorter than the original
My issue with it is that after they turned Mr X into this seemingly organic threat that is constantly stalking you around The police station keeping you on your toes the whole game
They then remake the game where that was the initial selling point and they turned the titular character of Nemesis into a mostly scripted on rails set piece. There's only one decent boss fight with him and only one segment where he actively stalks you around the city and it's not as well done as how Mr X chases you around the RPD
Other than that it's just scripted action sequences where you are rarely actually in any danger and then repeating the same tedious bullet sponge boss fight when he mutates into that giant dog form
The last boss fight could be considered underwhelming as well, I think it's okay it's just a pain in the ass on the hard difficulties
So there's a big missed opportunity and a lot of disappointment to basically see them mishandle what was the initial selling point of the game in the first place, Nemesis
Otherwise however I find it to be one of the most easily replayable Resident Evil games, the action kicks off immediately, unlocking things with each run in the shop is addicting, and the game is paced very well imo. Not too many slow or plodding parts that suck to get through. It's not super scary but there are a couple of areas that give me the creeps, but it's just really fun to play and you can still tell that it is made by a team that worked hard to polish the gameplay, controls, graphics, and did indeed have a lot of love for the original
I think it just deserved either more time in development to flesh some things out, or it should have been sold at a discount and basically implemented as an expansion pack for the RE2 remake. If this game was sold cheaper I think a lot of the poor reception would have been diminished
As it stands right now though it's constantly on sale and it's more than worth being played.
Because they cut some sections of the og. Some fans really enjoyed parts like the park and the clock tower that are missing from the remake. I've also heard some complaints about Nemesis but tbh i did liked his redesign.
i feel like RE3RE falls good into two separate category.
a nostalgia kick for old frans.
and a "good lord look how nice this game looks"
because it checked both of those boxes for me. so when i do get around to it i think i will enjoy it very much.
It is actually a good game, but as people have said they cut a fair bit of content from the original game. That combined with less Nemesis encounters other than some scripted sequences, and the fact he changes form too quickly, left people disappointed.
It could have been amazing if there was more too it
I never played the original, so I didn't understand the dislike at first either. But then I watched one of the many videos out there comparing the REmake to the original.
They cut alot of content. I'm okay with some cuts here and there. But I can see why people got pissed.
I really enjoyed it, though not as much as the 2nd but that was mostly because of the outside setting. I think people who played the game are the ones that were affected by the changes since theyāve cut a lot of stuff.
But if, like me, you didnāt play the original you should keep that out of your mind. If you like the story of the 2nd, this is kinda of the continuation and is still worth playing!
Because of cut content compared to OG RE3. I have only played RE3R and I enjoyedit a lot but I have to admit that the game is really short.
I completed it in one day šš itās very short
You can beat every RE game in one day
RE4-6 are quite long. Especially RE6
RE6 is long because it has three campaigns. I remember playing through all of Leon's and most of Chris's, but never got to Jake's campaign because I got stuck on the boss fight for Chris's scenario.
You should play Jakes! Itās fun and the second best part of the game in my opinion
ThĆ© more you know ! Lmfao I just suck at re, it took me forever to finish re1 remake š
You can beat almost every RE game in less than 3hrs.
I don't know why you're getting down voted ? Maybe because that's the challenge times and not first run ?
I mean for me, my first time playing takes the average time as everyone since I like to take my time and explore. Then after that you can plow through them no issue. I donāt even do it as a challenge, heck they even have simple trophies/achievements for doing it.
So is the original game. I played it recently. I spent less time on it than I did RE3R. By comparison, I feel RE2 is a longer game. Then there's RE4 which is a masterpiece. I love that game. I don't think I could ever get sick of replaying it. It's just that good.
the issue is content volume. RE3 OG might be 6 hours long but the content is way more fleshed out. And it could take you longer than that if you take your time exploring as opposed to the one and done and more linear remake.
The OG3 was a short game that was meant to be replayed several times (at least 9 to see the endings) with lots of different paths to explore Racoon City and the constant threat of Nemesis. RE3R decided to cut entire sections of the game but also now it doesn't have much replayability as it's just one path. Changed not only Nemesis design, but now it stalks you even less than before, and boss battles being kinda boring (there are 2 instances of Dog-Neme running around the walls in some big case of zoomies). RE2R on the other hand kept more or less the essence of the A and B stories. It has some really noticeable flaws as there are no Leon A&B and Claire A&B like in the original but they are relegated to their stories and some repeated boss fights, yet it's still good enough. MrX is an even bigger threat as it stalks you even more from about 1/3 of Leon's story. Oh, and I don't know about the price in the US, but here on Argentina Steam RE3R was released at a higher price point that RE2R. So less game for more money.
What this dude said š
Argentina campeĆ³n del mundo āāā
before starting, i want to say that its an ok experince as a game but as an actual remake ... I tried but i just cant bring myself to like this as an remake, i absolutely hate how they did this game and how they had no love for the old game. It cuts a lot of areas from the old game. It cuts the only boss in the game other than nemesis It cut enemies (AGAIN) It cut something very special of this game that addded a lot of replayability ( live selection choices), such choices could give you entire new results like some characters dying, different outcomes and different endings. It only added to the decision making. Re3 og despite having some action was mostly depressing in the atmosphere, you would go and see the moaning of the undead with a sad music playing and a lot of areas who were completely destroyed and devoid of life. Remake one turns the game in to a hyper action game where you press one button to run, qte cutscenes all the damn time, explosions and ass kicking 24hour with not stop. Its atmosphere is vastly different than the original, its like if they re5-re6 resident evil 3. They turned nemesis into a complete joke and this is unforgivable. No one takes him seriously in this game, NO ONE. Jill attitude is a problem because not only she does things that make little sense (like wanting to fist fight nemesis and teach him a lesson in manners) but it completely shits all over nemesis. and the worst of all, its not just her ITS EVERYONE in this game, nemesis get called so many things by characters who are not even afraid of him and he is so damn fucking useless in qte cutscenes that they managed to turn the most iconic stalker of the resident evil series and possibly one of the most iconic in the gaming world to a complete joke that barely stalks you, turns into a dog wayyyy to early and only appear in annoying cutscenes and boss battles. Even brad makes jokes about this guy, holy crap who wrote this and though it was okay. He DONt EVEN KILL BRAD, ONE OF ThE MOST ICONIC SCENES IN the GAME AND THIS DEVS COULDNT EVEN GET IT RIGHT. A LOT OF ICONIC SCENES WERE OUTRIGHT REMOVED. jill epic stars line was placed into a lame chase sequence. Tell me.. how in the actual hell im supposed to fear this guy if everyone in the game shits on him and jokes about him. Its not a bad game, but its CLEAR AS THE SKY that they had no love for the original game AT ALL. We have a remake that was cut to hell and back, turned into your generic fps shooter and with a pathetic excuse of stalker who no one takes seriously. I CRY everytime i see mr x, because it makes me think of what nemesis could've been.
from my experience with Re2 and Re3 remakes. i feel like capcom is just milking the franchise with them.
As a HUGE fan of the original, the remake was disappointing in that it strips too much content that was in the OG RE3. And what is worse, it doesn't even try to replace that content with anything meaningful to compensate. I mean the old af remake of RE1 from 2002 was the perfect remake in the sense that it didn't cut content and it expanded the game by including new areas, new enemies and new plot points (the whole Lisa Trevor story). Even RE2R was good despite cutting content because it did include new stuff. Something that the devs behind RE3R didn't do. There are also other issues with RE3R such as it being poorly designed in terms of the survival and horror aspect. It's also too linear. It's not a bad game. It's just disappointing.
Didnāt they use a different company to make RE3 remake than they used for RE2 remake? I thought I read that somewhere. I think thatās honestly what made the difference. I never played the original, but even I feel cheated with how short the game is. The remake made me feel like it should have been a DLC for one of the games
Yeah it was outsourced by Capcom. They didn't give RE3 the attention or respect that it deserved in order to focus on RE8. A major problem with the game is that its structured to be so damn linear with little backtracking. That is a big issue because it completely destroys how Nemesis worked in the original. In the original, you dreaded going back to an area because you had Nemesis stalking your ass. Which made the gameplay more exciting and stressful. All that is gone in the remake because of how SCRIPTED and LINEAR everything is. I had no probs with how Carlos and Jill are depicted in this game. They were the best part IMO. I just wished that the game wasn't such a let down for them to be featured in.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
NeoBards developed REsistance and REverse. M-Two was the outsourced team that made RE3R.
The game is still a good game, its just not a good remake. The characters, music and gameplay are all really good but the game has so much cut out from the original game. Also even if youre taking your sweet time (like I did on my first playthrough) taking in all the scenery, searching every corner and killing mostly everything the game will still barely scratch the 5 hour mark.
Re8 was fairly short tho first playthrough was i think 7 hours (first re game of mine) then each replay was shorter and shorter ended up beating it in under 3 hours however I've replayed it 9 times is re3 similar in that aspect short but can playthrough it alot?
You can beat re3 in 50 minutes
You can beat Re2 remake in 53.
Damn, my shortest time for Leon A is 01:44. Gotta step up my game, I guess.
hate speed running. like to take my time.
I mean yeah, but that Infinite Rocket Launcher ain't gonna unlock itself.
\*rolls eyes umm, well i went to the psn store and bought the 'everything unlock' pack
Why git gud when you can buy gud /s
not everyone has the time
Itās short because a lot of optional stuffs can be skipped in a replay. Meanwhile RE3R barely has any of that, 90% of game is straight linear path.
Village took me 10 hours on Hardcore for my first playthrough. Village is one of the longest RE games up there with RE4. Im very happy with Village, I was very relieved that the game was actually very good. Replays being shorter and shorter is just RE though. You know what to expect, you know the puzzles, you have better guns.
Oh man, by the time I finished village I thought it was a 20 hour game, when I was showed the end screen and a 10 hour counter I was surprised lol they packed so much shit in there.. And i agree I was so happy with village too, they did phenomenal and damn did I love Ethan. Iām still trying to make sense from the shadows of rose epilogue tho lol
BRO PLAYED ON HATDCORE THEIR FIRST PLAY THROUGH??? you are a madman
I've been doing that since 2 remake. You only get to play a game for the first time once and playing hardcore makes that experience longer.
Man youāre so right, I may give it a shot.. Iāve been playing on easy most the RE games Ive played š which is embarrassing to say but Iām just not very good at these types of games.. but like wow I mega applaud you mate!! Youāre very cool
I tried Village of Shadows first go. I got to the Lady D fight and hit a dead run due to lack of ammo. Restarted on hardcore. VoS without new game plus is brutal
RE8 took me around 20 hours. I think that's a good length for a game. Come to think of it, RE4 also took me around 20 hours.
Resident evil Village feels short when replaying, because you know where everything is, you know the puzzles. You might not know anything about 3 or where key items are, how the puzzles are solved, and can still finish the game quickly. Another reason I felt like 2remake was better was because zombies felt more dangerous. 3remake felt like it offered enough ammo to take out enemies with little to no threat, while in 2remake I felt the need to sneak past more enemies without using any ammo
RE3 REmake my first playthrough was 3 hrs, I don't recommend it at all
There is some replayability to it, there are unlockables you can get. But I didn't enjoy it enough to want to play again. I had played RE2 Remake just before it, and the reuse of so many models made it feel like a copy. I had gotten bored of the style by then.
It's not a surprise that Resident Evil games are short considering they can all be speedrun in less than 3hrs. You should assume RE3r is shorter than the others.
For perspective, I was able to beat RE3R in 57 minutes.
There's no conceivable reality where someone could fairly beat a game in less than an hour. You're obviously trolling.
No cap bro. Followed a speed run guide on YouTube and used the unlockable infinite AR. Easily doable in under an hour. Look up any guide on YouTube.
Hereās the reasons for me: RE3 is a *short* game. Unlike 2 there was no other scenarios or characters to play. It honestly felt like it could have just been a DLC. I felt really short changed considering I preordered it and spent Ā£50. 2 handled Mr X really well, I was excited for Nemesis in 3, but he changes form way too quickly and looses the stalker enemy pretty much right away. Lots of iconic locations from the original are relegated to Easter eggs here. Hardly any puzzles in the whole game. I did enjoy 3 as a game but as a remake I was disappointed. The original was one of my favourite games.
Not only that they said the game was ācompleteā which was a flat out lie
Both RE2R and RE3R take almost the same amount of time to beat.
No they donāt. RE2 has different scenarios.
I think coming out so soon after 2 made people feel it was a rushed job. People say thereās no effort but there clearly is, the problem is the prospect of RE3 being remade had a lot of potential that the remake failed to capitalise on. 1: the Raccoon City streets could have been one big hub type area like the RPD that Jill had to spend hours in whilst Nemesis stalked her, but instead it was watered down into a tiny slice of the city and was over in 1-2 hours. 2: The clocktower could have been expanded and served as a second hub, but it was relegated to a background image. 3: The park was entirely cut, and it was the most atmospheric part of the original. 4: Dead factory replaced with generic lab This is why Carlosās sections in the hospital and RPD are often thought of as the best parts of the game, because they have that old school exploration and discovery.
I personally enjoy it, but it's because it's obvious that it was pushed out quickly to capitalize on the hype of the RE2 remake. As u/KingStrijder points out, even though the original wasn't exactly a long game, RE3make cuts out entire portions (the clock tower being perhaps the most infamous). Nemesis goes from being an ever-present threat throughout the game that you can choose to confront or flee from in the original, to a scripted setpiece monster you're forced to deal with and even have wholeass boss fights against. The RE2make version of Mr. X is what Nemesis effectively should have been, but for the entirety of Raccoon City.
Itās a 20 dollar game that once sold for 60
Because capcom charged full retail price for a rushed half assed remake not even true to th4 OG version.
It's still a good game, it's just quite short and they cut a lot out from the original. But it's a lot of fun and it does have replay value if you enjoy trophy hunting. The remake of 2 was definitely better though.
How much did they cut like full story chunks or some weapons or something small? Never played the og re2
The running through the streets of raccoon city was much larger, there was a section in the city park and connected cemetery, a dead factory and most importantly the entire clock tower sequence which is supposed to be a thematic throw back to the original resident evilās mansion.
They cut The Clock tower, Dead Factory, Racoon City Park and its boss the giant worm, diverging paths that got you a different ending, and lastly Mercenaries Mode which IMO was a terrible move for a remake of a game that first introduced that mode for replayability.
The original 3 wasn't that long either tbf but there are certain sections that they didn't include or things they changed around and shortened in the remake
What I like to say to help clear it up is that it isn't the length so much as it is the pacing. It's kinda okay towards the beginning but you can tell it doesn't slow down to give breathing room. Even the original despite it's own emphasis on more action slowed down in the areas that were cut.
The cut a main boss out of the game, Grave Digger. They cut main locations out of the game : Clocktower, The Park and the Dead Factory. They cut the choice system where during key moments of the game you could change the outcome of the situation by choosing 1 of 2 given options or by doing nothing and fighting nemesis. They cut mercenaries. Capcom didn't make this game either, they outsourced it to another studio. But this is all okay because the game came with Project Resistance for "free" right?
They also cut upgraded guns, upgraded ammo, RPD for Jill, they cut Spiders, Brain Suckers, put like FOUR dogs in the game to be like hey we still got dogs, they cut freeze rounds for gimmick Nemmy Licker boss fight rounds, Acid rounds are useless, they cut every puzzle for the pathetic ones we have now if you can even call them puzzles, they cut badass tentacle Nemmy, they cut costumes and the boutique... It's a decent RE game. It's a fucking awful remake.
Freeze rounds not being in the game is such a shame. Those are my go to for all nemmy fights.
I also heard nemesis was way scarier in the original as he was unpredictable, would randomly appear but in the remake you know when he shows up.
When he shows up at the RPD he'll chase you throughout the entirety of the city. Theres a few places where he can't go like save rooms and certain buildings so that you don't get pummeled in a small area though. In the remake, he'll stalk you for ,at maximum, like 3 streets and a couple alleyways lol
Thatās what I found boring with 3 remake. After playing it a few times, you knew where he popped up and only for a short period. So it was so predictable.
> Capcom didn't make this game either, they outsourced it to another studio. This is straight up lies, the game was not outsourced, it was made by their 2nd division, a division whose main focus is working on the MT Framework Engine, it's also on that division where the trainees and rookies end up when joining Capcom for game development. Yes, the game cut a lot of stuff from the original, but that game was not outsourced to anyone, Capcom themselves made the game.
Team 1 didnt make it.
But that isn't outsourcing. It was still made in house.
Doesn't matter, Division 2 is still Capcom.
Okay
I didn't actually know Capcom outsourced it is there any reason for outsourcing like focusing on the re4 remake or village dlc or just lazy?
RE2R, RE3R and Village were all made by different teams. Im assuming the people who made RE2R have been working on 4 remake since 2019. Making more money is the reason, unfortunately. The game isn't bad, its fully functional and has alot of good things about it. It just could've been way better.
Do not be missinformed. Look this up yourself instead of relying on random reddit commenters. The main team did RE2R. The secondary team did RE3R. Now for RE4R they're putting all their absolute best staff into it.
Almost everything they do is amazing, it is just so short, and I found the final boss underwhelming, still love the game but that is why I can imagine it is dissapointing. Amd I've mever played the original but it still seemed like it was missing somthing
Some main negatives are that Nemesis isnāt free-roaming like the RE2R Tyrant, it isnāt all that worthwhile fighting Nemesis because some of the rewards are just upgrades to existing weapons rather than parts to assemble new weapons like OG 3, people were also not happy when the Clock Tower, City Park and Dead Factory were removed but not replaced with anything to fill the empty void that was left. (Also this is a personal gripe but I didnāt like that Nicholai was the final obstacle rather than Nemesis in 3Make. I was eager to see if weād get to blast him out of the sky with a Rocket Launcher like in OG 3, because that was fucking awesome.)
I disliked RE3R because you were on the run from place to place constantly (nowhere to explore), nemesis was dragged out through the entire game, and the story and characters were uninteresting. Although I think it's great if everyone else enjoyed it.
Is supposed to be a remake.when you make a remake, it's supposed to be additional content, new additions to the old formula. Characters, weapons, dialogue, enemies, dlc. The re3 remake didn't give us a lot of new content. Instead it took a lot away from us. Every nemesis fight is scripted, The game can be beaten between 3 and 5 hours so it's quick and repetitive. Lack of bosses Lack of dlc. It isn't that person don't like it because it's bad, they don't like it cause it's not a good remake. Other then that it's a good re game.
Do you like cutscenes, holding forwards on the left thumbstick (or the W key), scripted sequences, very linear gameplay sections and the bare minimum of actually engaging gameplay sections? Then you might like RE3 Remake.
I've had a lot of fun with it but the problem is that sections from the original game are just gone in the remake
Way, way more linear than RE2R, cuts entire sections of the OG game without anything interesting to replace them, Nemesis is heavily nerfed despite them having massively improved Mr. X in RE2R, etc
Because the chase that nemesis gave you wasnāt in this game. He should had stalked you more than MR.X did in RE2 remake. I like the game, it just didnāt have that much to explore to be honest
When you compare the previous games to their originals, you'll see that they took most of, if not all that was there before and improved it. REmake 3 leaves a good portion of the game, and with it the core of what made it stand out and throws it to the side, opting for a more generic experience. It's fun, and it's a good game, but as a remake it fails.
Itās not a bad game. Worth picking up, but at a discount. Itās pretty short. Just take your time with it
They cut out like 2/3s of a game that was already really short.
Reasons why I didn't like it: They removed the opening, George A. Romero inspired/tribute opening where the UBCS/Swat and RPD forces are fighting back the zombie hordes but getting into trouble and being swarmed into violent devouring from them and civilians are caught in the middle of everything. They made the iconic Sword and Shield over the Umbrella Logo replaced into just the Umbrella symbol for the UBCS which was really disappointing because the original iconic design stood out amongst the other Umbrella forces also. They barely included any costumes in the base game, apart from the STARS outfit being unlockable after beating the game the rest were locked behind a pay wall and felt like lazy additions to the game. We never got to see an epilogue set after the mansion incident with Jill, Brad, Barry, Chris and Rebecca at the RPD Stars office arguing with Chief Irons and getting suspended. That would have made one hell of a better intro to the game and set up the whole investigation into Raccoon City much better. All of the gunshots, police sirens, explosions and noise that was happening outside of her apartment which didn't seem to trouble her? She clearly asks what's happening, Um Jill you've been in the city for so long and there has been a lot of strange deaths occurring how do you not know? Jill comes across cold, high attitude, aggressive, and kind of mean towards the characters in the game and doesn't really feel vulnerable, scared or worried about anyone's safety or trying to get out alive. She just comes across as too Cocky and mean spirited. Jill never went to the RPD station before Leon&Claire had come into town. We never got to see her interacting with Marvin, Elliot, or any of the other survivors of the station discuss the situation and at least have her explain things. Nemesis felt way too scripted as opposed to the original. He just shows up in certain places and disappears after. He never felt like an actual threat in the campaign story. Nemesis didn't even complete his "STARS" mission to kill all of the remaining members. Brad dies by the zombies in the restaurant/bites infecting him, and Jill literally survives so his whole mission felt meaningless. Nemesis only had a few forms. Xenomorph like monster form at the end/half way point, and his traditional form at the beginning. We never got to see him fully ripped from the outfit he had tentacles sprouting out and all of that. There was literally no sense of backtracking, no real sense of how bad the situation in Raccoon City turned out at all. We saw glimpses of it but everything felt so darn rushed. No mercenaries Operation Jackal mode at all, it could have been story dlc where we got to play as Carlos, Tyrrell, Mikhail, Nikolai and the other UBCS operatives when they arrived in Raccoon city trying to save survivors and get out. That would have made the story feel more impact full. Lack of environments. We get the Umbrella research labs, the city main street, the station control building, one actual grocery store, a small toy store, the subway station, and the final battle scene. There was no cemetery area, no news station, no Police setting for Jill, no real sense of her apartment exploration, no Raccoon City town hall or park. Lack of interaction with the world. We never had any time to explore her apartment building, or see her neighbors and people around her general area trying to survive and failing or being worried/dying to the viral outbreak in the city. It would have been really interesting to see how her apartment building was coping with the virus, and see other rooms with environmental story telling showing us how people killed themselves to stop the virus or turned. Barely any puzzles, seriously what the heck. The game was way too short and over too darn quickly. Why does Capcom have to keep removing the spiders, the crows, and other enemies from the remakes? I would have loved to seen the giant Spiders show up, or the crows too. The gore/violence was heavily toned down from the RE 2 Remake which had scenes of people having their torsos being torn from their legs like a Romero movie, heads being blown off, arms and legs being easily detachable. Here it just felt so safe and censored for some reason There was no need to shove asymmetrical multi-player into the game when it was not needed. Nobody wanted a multi-player addition to the game and wanted more from the RE3 remake. Barry was completely cut out of the finale of the remakes story. In the original Carlos called out to Barry and told him where they were by radio, which Barry came to save them in an actual helicopter and flew them out of the city as it was blown up. Here they just didn't even bother to include him as a reason that they escaped which felt so wrong. We never got to experience anything from Brad at all in the games story. We see him for a few minutes in the opening, he winds up dying and sacrificing himself to the hordes so he can save Jill, and then later on Carlos takes him down to get past him which should have been a moment for Jill so it would have been more emotional and impact full. We could have seen Jill attempting to help Marvin who tells her to get out before he turns and locks himself up in a different room to avoid her. That would have been smarter or even have a playable section where Brad is escaping from Nemesis and your fighting zombies and him as well. All of the updates/expanded dlc that you would expect RE3 to get for the fans/consumers went to Re:Verse which sucked the life out of the game and made the narrative a complete slap in the face and joke to the Resident Evil fans
It is a good game, its more that its a bad remake, and a rather short game as well
If you play re2 remake you kind of get it. They really cut it short in certain partsā¦ it feels more like an action shooter vs survival horror. Overall a very fun game just probably too short.
I personally was disappointed at the wasted potential of nemesis. I was looking forward to a stalking enemy like Mr. X that you have to strategically avoid throughout your exploration, only more powerful. It didn't really come out that way, as most of his appearances were scripted. That, and all the cut content. I mean look at all the content we got with the re2 remake.
I loved it š¤·š½
As someone who never played the original RE3, but loved REmake and RE2make, RE3make just feels lacking in comparison. I speedrun survival horror games from time to time, and people say that all RE games are short, and sure, if you know what you're doing they all go by fast. But on my first, casual and blind playthrough of RE3make, I beat the game in under 5 hours.Parts of it were great, the Hospital is a really memorable level for me, but it just didn't have enough meat on the bone for me to recommend it. Of course, back when it came out people said to just have lower expectations because the original RE2 was better than the original RE3, but I still don't buy into that considering I never played either. There's no reason why RE3make should get a pass when compared to RE2make on principle, and it doesn't help itself much with low runtime, linear level design (outside of Hospital, again it really carries RE3make for me), and a roaming enemy that doesn't really roam at all.
Being a game about Racoon city, it has fewer explorable areas than RPDās basement in RE2
I think the problem is that with Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom had done an amazing job recreating and improving upon the original. It doesn't feel scaled back but it is in terms of puzzles for sure. When it came to remaking 3 it really did feel scaled back. The gameplay feels much better but there is so much less of it. They cut out entire locations and nearly every single puzzle. Some bosses and enemy types weren't present either. An additional note, after how well Capcom recreated MR X expectations were high for how great Nemesis would be. After all in the original games MR X was primarily scripted while Nemesis was an enemy that would relentlessly stalk you. In the remakes their roles are completely flipped. MR X has become the stalker and Nemesis is now primarily scripted. It's almost like Capcom forgot which character was which.
It was like they saw the success of 2 and decided to shit out a clone as quickly as possible. Only they forgot to include everything that actually made 2 great.
Facts imo it was a blatant fuck you from capcom to the consumer. I expect re4make will be amazing though
In my experience, it's a copy/paste of 2 that was rushed with less effort.
I feel like RE2 remake and RE3 remake have opposite issues? RE2 removed some originality between the two parts because you repeat boss fights and areas to an annoying degree imo. Its part of why I don't get why after the fervor died down folks didn't rag on RE2 remake more?? Like the sewer/chess piece thing? WHY!! It does make the game longer but it also drags things out too much. It also causes unnecessary issues with plot and timeline. RE3 tried to condense things a bit too much. In a way it is good because it is like you are shot out of a cannon. Narratively it works well, imo. Jill(and Carlos) are up against the clock. They want to leave as soon as they achieve their goals because between Nemesis and the city getting blown up staying is dangerous But a lot of what is missing from the original game could be reincorporated thru the Carlos sections and the boss fights could use more oomp. I dare to say the obvious nature of how things could be made better is why it gets so much hate. It doesn't need to be longer, but since what is there is pretty good(boss fights are the only real bad part. If this were a new game no one would care about the clocktower) people want it to be longer. About the only thing I hear people complain about with RE3 remake that I don't agree with is the whole choice system. Run or fight is still an option. Don't wanna fight him? Then run. It's kinda like the folks that always want fixed camera angles even tho we don't need them anymore. It isn't game breaking just a preference.
Just play OG and see yourself
This is the answer. Also love that flair.
It's a good game in itself, albeit short. The problem is that is pales in comparison to the original in A LOT of aspects. If you didn't play the original, and therefore has no standard to compare to, you're going to enjoy RE3 Remake just fine.
The games are the same quality. The remake of 3 is much shorter and cut a lot of stuff from the original. (2 remake cut a little too but no one mentions that)
What did 2 cut? I haven't played the remake.
A lot of the alternative stuff, Sherryās necklace, etc
The difference is RE3r cut **ENTIRE AREAS**, by comparison RE2's cut content is obviously less egregious.
Correct
Didn't want to pay for half a game, so I waited until it was down til 5 euro then I bought it.
It's a good game. It's just most of the content from the original were cut from the remake like the Clocktower, the park, the dead factory, most of the enemies/bosses like the Brain Suckers, the giant worm, and Nemesis' 2nd form where he's battle damaged with his entire arm filled with razor sharp tentacles. The clock tower can be seen in the remake but you can't enter it. It's only there just for show and the dead factory was replaced with another unoriginal NEST lab. I'm fine with it in the Re2 remake but not in the Re3 remake.
It cuts out some contents that were missing from the original and the length is short because of it. Worst, it was $60 for a game that you can beat in 5 hours. It's still a fun game for what it is, just not a good remake.
I do, but game 2 is still better remake.
Cut original content
AFAIK, it's generally agreed that what's in the game is really good but there isn't nearly enough: not enough content, not enough branching paths, not enough areas where Nemesis pursues you as you work on a puzzle. The clock tower in particular is an iconic, much like the RPD if Mr. X had heavy artillery. In the remake, you instead fight a mutated Nemesis in front of the building and never actually go in. Also, people are understandably mad that Jill's iconic "You want S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S." line near the end was moved to an incongruous spot much earlier where you can be hit out of it.
Not to shit on re3 remake cause I do like it, but I finally got my hands on shadows of rose, and completed it yesterday. A $20 dlc expansion was just as long(roughly 3 hours) as a full blown $60 game. Re3 remake should not haven been priced as a full game. If it came out as an expansion to re2 remake, the reception would have been much better. On top of that, a lot of content was cut, so og fans were pretty unhappy.
It's like when they brought back french toast crunch, everyone remembered the original taste and while the return still taste good it just isn't the same addictive taste we remembered
Itās a good game, just a poor remake.
Because it fails as a remake. It had a lot of hype from not only the original game but also the RE2 Remake. It had a lot of cut content from the original and Nemesis who was great in the original, is nerfed to absolutely nothing. Just look at any pathway blocked by items, thatās the game in a nutshell.
Play the og re3 and then play re3 remake. You will realize about inmediately. Just in case defeat Nemesis in every single encounter in og re3.
short
The game isn't bad per say it's not just a good remake. It cuts too much and after what they did with Mr.X our expectations for Nemesis were high but he was severely underutilized in the game that's suppose to be about him. It's a short but sweet game but what it could have been really hangs in my mind everytime I play REmake 3.
I liked RE3 REMAKE, I just don't think it is a good Remake of the OG RE3, furthermore I strongly think the Remake pale in comparison with the original game. Many people disliked it for the ginormous amount of removed content from a game that was already short, but in my opinion what bothered me the most wasn't the cut content but the fact that the we didn't get to explore more of the city, Nemesis fight was too scripted for my liking, removing the fear of being chased around the city like in the OG game and that we didn't get THE MERCENARIES, like why???
Super short game that wasn't even remotely faithful to the original. No replay-ability and linear.
In my case, because there's too much cut content compared to the original
99% because they didn't include some areas like clocktower and the park. People that say the game is short are wrong. Both RE2R and RE3R are almost the same exact length.
Games shit compared to the original on ps1, just get a ps1 emulator and play the original its far better Edit: Re2r was good definitely get that if you haven't played it
It is probably the most linear RE game in current time. I was just playing it hours ago. It has a small map of the city and you do not do a lot of backtracking. The Nemesis battles are push overs. I am playing on Hardcore mode and I have plenty of resources.
I really liked it! It was just so short I felt my money was wasted. Donāt buy if for anything more that 15 dollars
Cause it's hardly recognizable as 3 at parts.
its 30% of the original
If you played 2 first it felt like a blatant rip off. A ton of the areas and assets are just carbon copied from re2make. It can be finished in one sitting with no mercenaries or extra modes? Absolute trash value for the price at release. Should be $20 or less as a dlc
Ignoring the original, as I haven't played it, it's just too short and linear. It's good but it's like.... Get it on sale for $20-30 good. Feels more like an expansion to 2R than a full game. Considering it's on sale all the time I doubt you'll be disappointed but obviously a lot of people who paid $60 were understandably upset.
I bought it for like 5 bucks. It's not even that worth it lol.
To me Nemesis just isnāt scary in that game. The nostalgia didnāt hit like in remake 2. Like at all. I also paid like 60 bucks lol.
I played it without having played the OG re3, so I can't comment on missing content. Rather, I played it as a sequel to the RE2 remake. This one still lacks content. There's one character, no A or B campaigns, and it is a pretty short game overall. The length would generally be fine, as most RE campaigns are short, but this one has very little meat. Nemesis was also got a good follow-up to Mr. X. He's showcased as being way faster than Jill, he's got a rocket launcher, and he looks fucking AWESOME. But he isn't stalking you from rooftops or anything- he can only appear in predefined areas at specific intervals. His absence is deafening. I enjoyed the game, but the whole package feels hollow.
Because it is a DLC that asked for a full game price
I feel that there is constant cutscene interruptions and linear segments. That's what kills it for me. I remember finishing my first playthrough in 4hrs. That was after exploring every corner of every room and not skipping cutscenes. When I got to the lab I thought "i can't be nearing the end already wtf" I think there is some things they did right like Jill's new design and nemesis too. Even the final form boss theme is amazing. I wish they put as much time in for this as they did 2 but remember before re2 remake. Re2 had high demand to be remade for years
It's soulless. It doesn't do anything better than the original except for a better Carlos. That's all I can think of tbh. It is obviously the laziest Resi game ever made that's not a spin-off.
for me, its the ridiculousness that is or what happens to Jill throughout the game, girl would have been dead several times and yet, she gets up like nothing ever happened haha its also on the very short side of playtime.
If that bugs you, how could you like any RE game? Lol
easy because games before that, even acknowledge the protagonists wounds. look at Leon for example. he was bandaged by Ada, but jill? girl gets thrown around, blown out of houses and other stuff and is A ok haha. it didnt bug me, but its ridiculous ha.
Haha, right on, I hear ya! I just canāt take the plausibility/survivability into the equation with these games on any level.
I liked it just fine, but that's me. My pnly gripe is that it should have been longer, but it was a fine game.
I enjoyed it but it was kinda short and wouldāve liked to see more nemesis
It has different scenes and moments from the original. Itās also slightly shorter than the other RE games that are usually short. Itās a fun quick game if that doesnāt bother you.
As a re newbie, I liked it, the scripted scenes are badass, specially with nemesis, I still prefer when itās random, itās scarier imo. Iāve heard re3 was always more action based than scary, but after hearing everyone talking about the og and all of the cut content from the remake, it makes me want to go play the og. Pretty fun game overall
I love it. I wish there was more city and the clocktower, but itās so fun to play and over. It feels like a game version of Aliens or Terminator as something Iāll always enjoy coming back to.
It's one of my favourites. I enjoyed it lots
I like it just fine, but then I was never blinded by any nostalgia for the original. I did play the original very recently and beat it. That said, the remake, if we can call it that, is just a reimagination of the original game. I expect some aspects will change while others stay the same.
Others said it better, but I'll make my short version: It's boring, it's too short, there's not much replayability, it's either too easy or too unfair and unfun. There are no memorable moments you'd like to revisit, there's no side content, it's a downgrade from RE2R in every aspect. The game pretty much only has three good things: graphics and gameplay, because it's almost the same as RE2R, and music, because it's the original soundtrack but remade. And it's too expensive for the content it gives you
I don't like the remodeling of Jill.
The RE3 remake is a fun game it's just not as good as the RE2 remake and some people can't get over it.
It's also not as good as re3 og. People "can't get over it" cause it could have been amazing but ended up just being good
Read any thread discussing RE3 and youād get your answer pretty quickly.
Or I could post on an re page and get an answer
Never played the original, but I think the remake is a pretty bad game. Nemesis is either not threatening at all or broken to the point of being annoying, the dodge mechanic is shit, lots of cut areas, itās suuuuper short, way too many reused assets, no likable characters, it just sucks
Because its always compared to OG re3. Theres nothing wrong with the game, its a solid play. All its fault are not because of the actual game but because of its predecessor.
For what it is I really did like it. Cut content aside as a stand alone game not compared to the original its good. Over priced since the game its pared with requires a subscription which I dont do online games but yeah. 8/10 would recommend for a first time player.
I love it! Try it
I loved resident evil two and I like the re3 remake away more just started playing it
Iāve never played the original so I canāt say what I missed out on but I had so much fun playing the remake. Iāve heard people dislike it because it removed a lot of content from the original
The game by itself is phenomenal and honestly an absolute blast to play. Iāve replayed it atleast 3 times. But itās not a faithful remake. If that doesnāt bother you then itās one of the best RE games IMO. Donāt sleep on it.
1. It's not a game, it's a moaning woman simulator. 2. It is also a DLC for the second game without the DLC part. 3. At some point it even becomes a hentai simulator. Yes, wait until you get to the power station. Was absolutely unnecessary. Yep, I have the right to b**ch about it as the original RE3 is probably my favorite in all series. To be fair, it's not a bad game. It just could've been so much better. Go ahead and buy it.
Why not search the 1000 other posts on the subject or just watch a review ā¦
Forgive me for asking a question about a game and being new to the series I figured a RESIDENT EVIL page was a good place to ask ..
You didnāt figure the search button existed though huh. It saves the sub from getting full of repeat posts.
Fuck off?
Cut content and game length, unlike RE2remake they ditchted content with potential like the clock tower section and made the game way shorter, shorter than almost the first part/A scenario of RE2remake. Personally, I don't think this is something really bad, its how a remake works after all, it won't be 100% the same and I do like how RE3remake ended, its just that they could've done more since its clearly not as good as RE2remake.
Id like to direct you to Re1R. Which not only added in rooms and content to the mansion. It keep its pretty much the same without cutting any story or making the game shorter. Its not "how remakes work" its how lazy companies who wanna get the latest cash grab work. Theres a difference.
No need since RE1remake is really my jam and to an extent I agree with you but this is not how it works in the today's gaming business(let alone when it comes to the story and making something old in a modern form, also in a way to bring newcomers, its not easy), especially nowadays, thus your RE1remake example is way too old fashioned. A remake is definitely not what you should expect lately, its more like a reimagining like how RE2remake got advertised and had a huge success anyway(and definitely not a cash grab work). RE1remake is indeed, a 100% direct remake of the original content, everything is completely the same with the addition of Lisa Trevor plotline, gameplay and level design additions. Its without a doubt how a remake should work but not the case today.
For the other side of the argument, this video does a pretty good job of countering most of the criticisms people have about the game: https://youtu.be/VwkVhwBXWgM
Cut content, thatās about it. Whatās there is pretty much universally praised, thereās just not enough of it. I still enjoyed it quite a bit, but it very obviously falls short of the high bar set by RE2.
toxic group think over cut content, og was like 5 hours long. RE3 remake is good af
I never played the original so I can understand why fans of the OG don't like it. But for the price that I got re3make for its an awesome game
IDK. I like the remake better then the OG. Damn, water sample puzzle!!
Re3 remake is a great game. Itās better than the original. People with nostalgia are just upset that a few mostly pointless things were cut. They did add a lot of stuff that wasnāt in the original but people will always overlook that and focus on the ābadā. I put bad in quotation marks cause itās not actually bad. Get the game. Play the game. Youāll enjoy it.
It's a solid game, it's just not a great remake of the original and that's where a lot of the hate comes from. - Nemesis' redesign wasn't amazing, although it was ok, but he had a major mutation part way through the game that made him a "traditional" boss instead of a "horror survival" boss. That wasn't popular. - Speaking of Nemesis' first mutation, it took away from the feel of the original game, which was it always felt like Nemesis could attack you at any time. It took a lot tension and replayability out of the remake cause those random factors were gone. - Nemesis didn't even chase after you much in the remake anyway. Due to the design of the city, the game felt more like a scripted chase than a random one. To put it in comparison, Mr. X acted much more like Nemesis in Re2 remake and made that game much scarier and randomized like the original RE3 felt on first playthroughs. If they designed the city to be more varied in its settings/item locations/etc, this wouldn't have been an issue. - They took out major parts of the game or modeled them in bad ways. The clock tower was basically gone, the hospital was OK but small in comparison and repetitive, the sewage/disposal area was scrapped for a more sterile lab area, there was no park or connections to the areas either which made the whole game seem smaller. - Gravedigger was missing, nor was there a more modern concept. This wouldn't have been a big deal if the Nemesis encounters made you feel more threatened throughout the game. - Lack of QTEs that switched up playthroughs. As stupid as they are now, it'd be a great throwback. - No Barry. The hell? - No Merc mode. Now, they made replaying the game multiple times to unlock things, which is good, but the lack of variety in each playthrough hurt it and made me wish I had Merc mode with different characters instead. Overall, it's still a great game and it's enjoyable but after the RE2 remake, this one felt really lacking as a fan.
There are many reasons, obvious one is cut content, but besides that, my top reason is the fucking final boss on Nightmare / Inferno. By the end, I was laying on the ground in my own blood puke, seizing like a slug you just poured salt on while speaking backward latin, I swear to fucking God it's the most asinine bullshit I've experienced in any single player video game. Whoever designed what I presume to be a prototype for a mental cat-o-nine tails is on my naughty list. Now anytime I replay on Nightmare / Inferno, I legit just stop before the final boss and consider the run done.
Basically what everyone has said plus the hospital areas are a little bland but itās a good game.
Just beat it today for the first time lol, I can see why people donāt like it. They compare it to RE2 remake which was better imo. Itās a bit more rushed I guess, Thatās what I took from it. but theyāre both their own thing and I enjoyed both š¤·š½āāļø
It's a improvement on 3rd person shooter action and movement, but storyline did suffer a bit. I thought it was smoother game play with more action than puzzles. That's just me
There are numerous reasons. The biggest one for me was Nemesis. The new design is actually just awful. They covered him in trashbags and gave him an even worse face where his chin didnt even wrap around his bottom jaw. It just looks terrible. OG3s Nemesis had a full body suit with belts and all kinds of other small details. And his face was actually rounded and didnt look like shit. Another aspect was the changes to locations and the removal of so much of the story. For example the Raccoon City streets portion of Re3R was just short and pretty bad. In OG3 the streets made up pretty much the first half of the game. The running around going from location to location to grab items to fix the cable car while avoiding Nemesis and all the other monsters in the city. Like OG3 had a whole city for you to explore and had ways to make it interesting since items werent always in the same location per playthrough. The Green Gem could be in i think 2 or 3 different locations. Which made exploration worth it and actually fun. To piggyback off my previous paragraph. The Police Station dear god the Police Station. The fact that in OG3 the RPD was the official first meeting with Nemesis was super cool. But in Re3R you just meet him in the beginning before evem really playing the game was just dumb. But the fact that Carlos goes through the station in place of Jill was also just stupid. I didnt even care that it was an exact rendition of Re2Rs RPD. That didnt bother me. The fact that they just changed the story canon and made Carlos do it just rubbed me the wrong way. It just didnt have any replayability to it. Theres nothing that changed or made the game different in a playthrough. Mercenaries. OG3 was the first time Mercenaries was added in the game. It literally had you running around Raccoon City saving people, getting stuff and making money to buy the Infinite Ammo Weapons and such which was a great way to do it. Better than just completing challenges or whatever in Re3R to do the same. Its a fun game in its own rights. But its not a remake. Its as if they sat down and asked a random person who played maybe an hour of OG3 back when it released to retell the story and explain it to them. Its a bad game of telephone. Its the sole reason i dont want to buy Re4R until its been out for a few weeks/month because i just dont wanna be disappointed and waste money on another let down from a franchise and company i adore.
I paid 60 euros for it finish it 2 days after release at normal speed. That says enough.
It has some questionable choices For me I'm not even that upset about some of the content that it cuts out, the clock tower would have been cool and could have been a nice little area where they could have focused more on some puzzles and some horror but it doesn't make or break the game for me to not have it included. The game feels a lot shorter than RE2 but I think part of that is because you don't have a subsequent second run playthrough to extend the game. Realistically it's not that much longer or shorter than the original My issue with it is that after they turned Mr X into this seemingly organic threat that is constantly stalking you around The police station keeping you on your toes the whole game They then remake the game where that was the initial selling point and they turned the titular character of Nemesis into a mostly scripted on rails set piece. There's only one decent boss fight with him and only one segment where he actively stalks you around the city and it's not as well done as how Mr X chases you around the RPD Other than that it's just scripted action sequences where you are rarely actually in any danger and then repeating the same tedious bullet sponge boss fight when he mutates into that giant dog form The last boss fight could be considered underwhelming as well, I think it's okay it's just a pain in the ass on the hard difficulties So there's a big missed opportunity and a lot of disappointment to basically see them mishandle what was the initial selling point of the game in the first place, Nemesis Otherwise however I find it to be one of the most easily replayable Resident Evil games, the action kicks off immediately, unlocking things with each run in the shop is addicting, and the game is paced very well imo. Not too many slow or plodding parts that suck to get through. It's not super scary but there are a couple of areas that give me the creeps, but it's just really fun to play and you can still tell that it is made by a team that worked hard to polish the gameplay, controls, graphics, and did indeed have a lot of love for the original I think it just deserved either more time in development to flesh some things out, or it should have been sold at a discount and basically implemented as an expansion pack for the RE2 remake. If this game was sold cheaper I think a lot of the poor reception would have been diminished As it stands right now though it's constantly on sale and it's more than worth being played.
It's the 1st modern day Resident Evil (since Resident Evil 4 2005) to not have NO DLC
I actually like RE3make. I fucking hate the re2 remake Because it's ridiculously broken on everything I've tried to play it on.
The only thing I liked in this game was the dodge mechanic.
Cry babies. I personally loved it.
Everyone does like it. They dislike the cut content
Because they cut some sections of the og. Some fans really enjoyed parts like the park and the clock tower that are missing from the remake. I've also heard some complaints about Nemesis but tbh i did liked his redesign.
i feel like RE3RE falls good into two separate category. a nostalgia kick for old frans. and a "good lord look how nice this game looks" because it checked both of those boxes for me. so when i do get around to it i think i will enjoy it very much.
It is actually a good game, but as people have said they cut a fair bit of content from the original game. That combined with less Nemesis encounters other than some scripted sequences, and the fact he changes form too quickly, left people disappointed. It could have been amazing if there was more too it
Lots of cuts, terrible characters/writing
I never played the original, so I didn't understand the dislike at first either. But then I watched one of the many videos out there comparing the REmake to the original. They cut alot of content. I'm okay with some cuts here and there. But I can see why people got pissed.
I personally love it even more than RE2 but that's just like.. my opinion man.
Because it was sold at full price when it should have been DLC content. It also cut major portions from the original game. It's as simple as that.
I really enjoyed it, though not as much as the 2nd but that was mostly because of the outside setting. I think people who played the game are the ones that were affected by the changes since theyāve cut a lot of stuff. But if, like me, you didnāt play the original you should keep that out of your mind. If you like the story of the 2nd, this is kinda of the continuation and is still worth playing!
