Is Mr X similar to what we saw in RE3: Nemesis?

I hated being chased that thing.

Mr X is just another name for the T-00 that was already in the original Resi 2, but he was only in the B scenario and IMO they should have kept it that way

Amazon itself is sold out, the Ł52 one is from GamesDirect via amazon.

Crazy price though, you can get it directly from Playstation Store for Ł45

I ordered it on Ebay but I'm getting through Biohazard on VR first anyway.

Oh right, thanks for the info. I'm really looking forward to it.

That's still the case in a sense as he doesn't appear until later on. Minor spoilers I guess?

Spoiler:

He doesn't appear in A until after you've returned to the station from the basement so you'll have explored most of the station by that point. It's not like B in the original game when he appears almost immediately (although Ive heard that's the case with the Remake's B campaigns).

RE3 Remake will either be a swan song for the PS4 (with an inevitable Definitive edition for next gen consoles) OR a launch title for the next generation.

I imagine the development cycle will be much shorter than RE2 remake anyway, as they'll just use the RE2 Remake variation of the RE engine for it with few (if any) changes. RE2 Remake has had a fairly lengthy development but a lot of that was because they were still developing the bare bones of the system, and it's clearly had some quite heavy modifications made between RE7 and this.

I personally just hope they do RE8 onwards with this variation and not the RE7 first person mode... wasn't really a fan at all . Resi just doesn't belong as a first person game.

I prefer third person and was vehemently opposed to RE7's first person perspective since I thought Capcom was just trying to turn the franchise into Amnesia or Outlast but I ended up adoring RE7. For all it's differences and changes, it was the most classic styled RE game in years.

If Capcom develops RE3 Remake for the current gen consoles then I don't doubt that they'll probably develop RE8 alongside it for next gen.

I also loved Resident Evil 7 HOWEVER it didn't feel like a resident evil game. That's not to say I didn't love it, I replayed it multiple times and would love it as a stand alone game. I miss the resident evil franchise however, and that just didn't feel like a resident evil game to me... I wouldn't mind if they had that format as a spin off of games

I have to disagree completely, it was quintessential Resident Evil, item and ammo management, an emphasis on horror, puzzle solving and exploration and avoiding enemies as opposed to gunning down everything in your path.

The only deviation from the classic formula was the first person perspective and the lack of zombies.

[DouglasS]

Resident Evil to me always has great character development / character personalities. I felt RE7 missed that aspect.

The Ghost Survivors mode is coming next month which is essentially three small scenarios featuring three characters who didn't make it out of Raccoon City. It's also going to be free.

Oooh, looks interesting, I wonder... if they do well, they could make an interesting ongoing DLC model out of that? New characters, new stories, same setting so pretty easy to make quite a few of them...

Potentially although all the characters included so far also happen to have models in the game already.

Apparently there's been some models datamined for Ethan from RE7 and that game's version of Chris so they could be unlockable characters in it.

Capcom have also basically said 'if you want RE3R, let us know.' Which is basically confirmation that they're gonna do it given that RE2 sold three million copies in a week.

Pretty sure there was a video on this by a hacker and he just fell to his knees.
