RE3make: Out Friday!
 

Carlos was such a non-character :joker:... but I am loving the hair.

RE2 is my game of the year and if RE3 manages to match that game then it'll be fantastic. Judging from the graphics (and how fast it's seemingly come together) I assume it'll use the same graphics and gameplay engine as RE2 which isn't a bad thing. Mr. X was terrifying in RE2 so I imagine Nemesis sprinting at you will be so horrifying.

I assume it'll be revealed at The Game Awards and released February/March. I've read speculation that they reckon Project Resistance will be packaged with it.

I hope they do a RE1 remake in the same engine tbh, I know there was a recent REmake as an update of the classic style but if they did it (and Code Veronica, which seems inevitable if 3 is as successful as 2) then we'd have the whole series more-or-less up to date.

4 actually still holds up well graphics wise, though I'd love it if they could do a release with more modern character control. I still love the game to bits but I played recently and the lack of ability to strafe feels so odd these days.

I dunno, I think the RE1 remake holds up pretty well

I think REmake1 is still fine. The tank controls and fixed angles help make the game what it is.

It's not bad, it would just be interesting to have the whole series with (roughly) the same over-the-shoulder style. Except 7, I guess.

I wouldn't expect a RE1 remake any time soon given how much the first remake holds up. I think the only reason why RE3 is likely to be revealed and released in a short window is because it's using the same system and resources as RE2 (not a bad thing).

I imagine they'll probably remake Code Veronica next, if anything.

I'd definitely like a Code Veronica remake, as I only played about an hour of it on PS2 for some reason. I think I got stuck on a puzzle and also, IIRC, I got Morrowind at the same time and got deep into that for months and never went back to CV. I vaguely know what happens in it from story points from Resi 4 - 6... but I actually didn't even know until quite recently that Chris was a playable character in it :omgo:. I thought the whole game was Claire.

But yes a remake of it seems very likely, especially with it being Claire, who is already established in REmake.

Again though I hope they DON'T fully remake Resi 4. I'd love a full remaster with proper widescreen / new textures / updated controls (and probably a difficulty increase to compensate, as modern controls would make the game too easy as it is) but generally speaking, I wouldn't want large changes to the core game.

I'd also be very interested in a 3rd person conversion of Resi 7, which I'm lead to believe would be very possible. It's the same engine as REmake and people on PC have even managed to force 3rd person perspective in it. The main problem being that the game doesn't render the player character's head (as you're never supposed to see it) :think:.

tbh I find RE3 a bit boring apart from Nemesis and "lore" stuff...

It's the weakest "numbered main series" Resi after 6*, I agree. I feel like it was rushed out after Resi 2's success and it sort of shows, it was nowhere near as refined as 1 & 2, in terms of both plot and setting. The Mansion and The Police Station were such memorable settings... but I honestly can't think of one memorable scene from Nemesis.

HOWEVER, RE3make is potentially a good opportunity to flesh out the storyline and characters to make a better game than the original.

*If anyone's interested in my order; 2 > 4 > 1 > 5 > 7 > 3 > 6

2(Remake)>1(Remake)>7>3>4>6>5

I rated 6 low bu I do enjoy the Leon and Ada campaigns while I think Resi 5 is just the worst one by far. I appreciate that 4 is a brilliant game but it's one I've never felt the need to revisit.

7 was a game I never expected to like but I really did love it. I love how, despite all the departures from RE it contained, that it still managed to be the most traditional RE game since Code Veronica.

They make too much money porting RE4 to everything capable of playing it to remake it yet. I think they'll get through the classic style games before they even think about touching 4.

A third person RE7 would be interesting but at the same time, it would lose a lot of what made it good, I reckon. RE7's first person perspective isn't one I want in all RE games going forward but I was fond of it for a one off.

I replayed 4 dozens of times in the 5-or-so years after release but I played again recently and, while the graphics hold up very well, the controls just feel wrong and I couldn't get past it :(. 5 I can appreciate is lowkey trash I really enjoyed it in a B-movie sort of way :joker:

April 20th :hugesmile:

Doesn't Nemesis look a bit... erm... goofy? A bit... Wallace & Gromit? :umm2:

Oh lawd, you just know gamers everywhere will cry about Jill deciding against wearing a miniskirt and a boob tube during a zombie apocalypse :laugh:

It looks good and the fact that Resistance is paired with it is a welcome addition. I will be pre-ordering as soon as physical orders are open.

I didn’t get the hype around resi 2 i beat it in about 6 hours :/

You're meant to play it through 4 times to see everything though. Claire and Leon both have two campaigns, then you have the Hunk and Tofu modes.

Resident Evil games aren't long when it comes to individual playthroughs but there's reason to do multiple playthroughs most of the time.

I prefer resi 7 :hmph:

I hope 8 gets announced soon all sew

7 was great but RE2 Remake is my favourite RE game of all time.

Given the success of RE2, I reckon RE8 will probably be done in the same style as 2/3.
