It almost looked like it was gonna be first person

True, once I knew the game I could beat Resi 4 at a casual pace in under 4 hours, and as a "speed run" in under 3 easily. I think it's technically possible to do it in like an hour and a half (with upgraded/unlimited weapons) :joker:.

The trailer looks great. I really want Capcom to do a Dino Crisis remake with the same graphics and game engine.

I don't think i've played RE3 but i like the look of this one.

New trailer

Jill reminds me a lot of Lara Croft in the latest Tomb Raider trilogy and I think that kind of direction works well for her, I think.

It always seemed too easy to get away from Nemesis in the original game but it definitely looks like you're gonna have to fight tooth and claw to survive against him this time around. It looks way more action-y than RE2 did but then again, RE3 was the most action heavy title of the classic games.

It’s getting some mixed reviews and apparently can be finished in under 5 hours :umm2:

As someone that never played the original resi 2 i REALLY did not understand the hype surrounding the remake

Pretty much every RE game can be completed in 5 hours, they are never long games.

Resident Evil 2's remake was my game of the year last year and it's easily my favourite RE game. You need to experience the original to see how wonderfully realised the remake is.

A lot of the reviewers I trust are saying that Re3's a good experience and I liked the demo a lot so I'll be eagerly awaiting it on Friday. Hell, the short run time is a blessing, I'll have more than enough time to beat it without rushing before FFVII comes out.

I do think Resi 3 will be good fun but I'm expecting to find it fun in the way I found Resi 5 fun, if that makes any sense. More action oriented, more forward progression rather than one "iconic" location, etc.

Basically I just expect it to differ from RE2 remake in the way that the original differed to classic Resi 2; in that part of what elevated Resi 2 from "fun game" to "iconic and unforgettable" was the location, creepy "emptiness", lack of resources etc.

Resi 3 was when it started to edge towards the superhero fantasy of Resi 4/5 by giving you more guns, more ammo and more action over suspense.

Luckily I enjoy superhero fantasy as well and loved playing as armed-to-the-teeth ninjas in the later games :joker:. Resi 4 and 5 are simply not scary (because frankly, the most terrifying thing in those games is Leon/Chris :hehe: ) - but they're still plenty of fun.

I expect Resi 3 remake to be similar. Jill is going to be tougher and better armed than Leon and Claire in Resi 2 so it'll play quite differently.

Girl resi 4 not scary? Wyd

RE4 wasn't scary tbh.

The trouble i have with RE is i was bored of walking around the police station or a house 499954 times and the games are really short.

I can complete Resi 4 on the hardest difficulty using nothing but the knife... It stopped being scary long before that. If you play through it with "gunz, lots of gunz", Leon is a one-man army :joker:. Everything should just head for the hills when they see him coming.

The Resident Evil: Resistance is up and running on both PS4 and Steam until Friday. It's quite promising, I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Will I get it or nah? :think: I can't decide. I might get it on PS4 since its apparently pretty short and thus, I imagine, an easy platinum. I got 100% of the Resi2 trophies but I got in on PC. I don't know why I want trophies I just DO OK?? If I can't win Most Loved I can at least win another PS4 Platinum :(

Or maybe I should get Resi2 on PS4? That would be an extra easy platinum since I already know the game :omgno:

Ended up getting it [emoji23] I'm such a slag

I'm really enjoying it so far, it lacks any sort of horror but then again, so did the original RE3. It was always the Aliens to RE1 and 2's Alien. It's completely different to the original too which I actually quite like. RE2 is full of iconic moments so they couldn't really change much aside from the things they did but I always thought that you could change up RE3 a lot. As long as you have Jill and Nemmy, you're sorted.

Also that whole intro part was amazing, probably the best opening to an RE game ever.

Finally, I am hopelessly addicted to Resistance.

Needed something to pass the time until Friday? :laugh:

An essential for us digital order FOOLS

Oh well, at least we got more than enough time to enjoy RE3 and Resistance :sad:

I still say (as with Resi2 remake) normal commoner zombies take too many headshots to drop. I'd prefer 1 or 2 headshots max and rarer ammo.

Just ordered this can't wait.

I played a bit last night. Does the red dot sign actually do anything?? I (shamefully) searched for ages for that safe code and as far as I can tell it makes **** all difference other than making the target reticle red :think:.

It tightens up your aim quicker and makes your shots more likely to crit, I think.

I know that waiting for it to fully "close" gave a higher crit chance in RE2 but I haven't noticed it making any difference here :think:. That's why I'm wondering if it does much at all! I suppose aim would help if you're shooting from a distance but I tend to charge in and headshot from a couple of feet away anyway :joker:
