    I’m disappointed by this “Remake” Even on Hardcore mode, I still have a lot of bullets saved up. Plus they removed the option to use ink ribbons for players that want the challenge. Heavily empathize on action than survival horror which is a huge step back.

    I also don’t like the knife not breaking which kinda breaks away from the challenge. Shoot the zombie at the legs and knife them till they’re dead. Don’t know why they decide to make the knife unbreakable, but okay...Short game, roughly to 5-8 hours. Cut content from the original. Just wished they took their time making game but apparently money very important to them than the consumer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just so disappointed. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is one of my all time favorite games and this remake just doesn't do it justice. The gameplay in general terms is boring and tedious, 90% of the classical scenarios that we loved in the original Resident Evil 3 were completely thrown into the trash and during the game you feel like nothing exciting happens at all because of this, we don't even see Brad Vickers die. Nemesis' design is bad, the 1999 is scarier than this one and that's unforgivable and the music is conspicuous by its absence, the only good thing about it is the recycled safe room's theme. Overall, a bad, rushed game that could have been a masterpiece, and I'm not even counting the fact that they're selling a 5 hours mediocre experience for 60 bucks. As always, thank you, Capcom, I guess 2020 is not a good year for remakes.… Expand

    This is a really good remake, if you played the original RE3, you are gonna miss some stuff.(Mercenaries, cut bosses, multiple choices) But it is still a good remake, not as good as its predecessor, sadly, but still fantastic. I have only played 1 hour, and i¨m blown away by just how amazing this is. Good job Capcom, you did it again!

Особо разочаровало начало игры, полное голливудских клише; слишком быстро ликвидировали Немезиса в своём каноничном обличии; полностью изменена атмосфера миссии когда необходимо достать вакцину Джилл (в оригинале было действительно страшно заходить в комнаты больницы). Вообщем, разработчики старались угодить всем. Возможно, им это удалось. Для меня нет. Признаю, что ремейк Resident Evil 2 на фоне обозреваемой игры выдался шикарным! Mr. X во много раз страшнее Немезиса. 2/10. (К тому же игра слишком короткая)… Expand

    Embora o RE2 tenha fugido um pouco da pegada do clássico, haviam pontos que tu conseguia ligar ao original, mas nesse 3 parece que o contexto da situação foi a um patamar de nível superior de viajado... até uns 30% de jogo, tu consegue sentir um RE3, mas dali em diante, virou bagunça.

Just look at the graphics, the music, the feelings you experience during the gameplay. The plot doesn't tear you away, you're in the game, you feel it. Not gonna lie, RE2 remake was better-made, but I still like playing the new one. So the point is, just imagine how much work you gotta put on that one to make everything do it's own job perfectly. That works fine together, and as for me, I had a really good time playing that.
    I've got no idea how you guys are making it to the end that fast, because 12 hours on the record and I'm still not done with the game (even these 12 hours is enough for me, lol (I know, maybe you just don't like to explore every corner and trying to rush it for some reason, but guys, it's all about the process and the experience you get, that is interesting as hell, besides it makes the game last longer and it is NOT BORING at all)).
    Of course, if you've played the old version, you may be surprised of not having all the content in the remake, but, it does not make the game worse or not finished in my opinion.
    If you're new to RE or you've played RE2 remake, just go for it, you'll like it.
    And if you're a fan of a RE series, and you expect it to be exactly the same as the 1999's version, then it is up to you whether to buy it or not. I believe, that a true fan gonna like it anyways, that's what I think.
    I feel extremely bad for that game being rated negative. That's it, thanks for reading that one.    … Expand

Make it a completely linear game with almost 0 replay value! The damn thing is 5 hours long! If we didn't tolerate that with The Order 1886, why does Capcom get a pass in this one?

    Botched hardcore difficulty with constant auto-saves and no ink-ribbon required, making everything matter a bit less since you have plenty of ammo to mow down every zombie you see... Seriously, just point and shoot! Don't worry about your ammo, the scripted boss fights showers you with it as if you just chainsaw'd a random demon, DOOM style!

    Toned down gore, I streamed the whole playthrough and didn't manage to dismember a single zombie. Nemesis encounters are just as, if not more scripted than the original game, making him more of a nuisance rather than a constant, real threat. Remember when people went **** crazy when news came of him being able to invade safe-rooms? haha, what a joke! He can't even enter a few key-areas!!!

    On a technical level, they've nailed it, the RE engine is at its peak and ran like butter the whole playthrough without a single frame drop.
    Capcom just pocketed real easy money from us all and delivered this half-baked game that was rushed in a year. If they focused on just making the damn game and didn't bother to make that resistance crap and maybe, just maybe we would've gotten a better, more polished game.

    Once again, Capcom brings another great game on the amazing RE Engine, this time in the form of Resident Evil 3.

    While the previous remake, RE 2, was more slow paced and conservative, RE 3 quickly switches gears from the start and it really feels more focused on letting the player be a bit more proactive towards the different enemies; we can dodge now, even in a “perfect dodge” way if properly timed, so that’s already a pretty good indicator of the intentions Capcom had with this remake.

    Just like in the original RE3, dodging can be an interesting way of dealing with some enemies, but also risky if we have yet to master it; fortunately this time around the mechanics behind it aren’t as obnoxious as in the original game.

    When it comes to PC exclusive settings and other stuff, any PC review should mention at least some of these, when it comes to performance, control settings and keybinds, etc. Very much like RE 2 Remake, the game offers a wide array of graphical settings and the controls are pretty customizable, even quite left handed friendly.

    On the performance side of things, the game runs flawlessly on my Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1070, even on max settings, but as it happened with the previous game, the Volumetric Lighting can be a bit taxing in certain scenes, but dropping it to Medium solves the issue while not losing much quality on such volumetric effects.

    As for the dreaded “short” duration of the game many people are afraid of, on my first run I spent, according to my save, around 7 and a half hours, and around 10 in total (as the save seems to only count time for essential stuff and no other time spent in menus or what not, I guess, not sure). Anyway, what this means is that if you finished the game on your first run in like 2 hours, you skipped a lot of the fun and exploration, so that’s on you. The game felt to me, on the first run, just as long as RE 2 remake, all things considered.

    RE2 Remake on the other hand, I felt it had a lot of wasted potential with the A/B and B/A scenarios, meaning that once you did let’s say Claire A and Leon B, there was no need to do the reverse…none, it was the same, with some plot inconsistencies even regarding some of the Birkin fights. In any case, that didn’t stop me from considering RE 2 Remake a very amazing game, and it is.

    For RE3 Remake I felt that this time the story seems even more consistent to me, and coherent. It may feel shorter for those who spent the same amount of time doing A/B back in RE 2, but no…it really isn’t any much shorter than RE 2 Remake, just like the originals, both could be completed in a similar time back then, especially when speed running.

    For this game I also felt that characters like Carlos have been vastly improved, to the point that now he feels like a very well written character and not the...whatever that was on the original game. Really good job there with Carlos, Capcom, his character development really made me enjoy him a lot, in a very good way. The rest of the cast is also very well written, even those whose stay is more brief than others so yeah, solid cast for this remake, most of the original game's characters are very well written and dubbed, at least in english.

    Sound design is very decent too in this game, and compared to RE2 Remake I felt that the music here in RE 3 is more varied and very cohesive with the rest of the action packed situations we find ourselves in. Great job in general with the soundtrack, something not many reviews seem to mention, really enjoyed it.

    All in all, I’m still face palming heavily myself after having read some of the most bizarre “professional” reviews for the game (like that pathetic 58 score PC Gamer review, if you can call that thing a PC game review, with no mention on performance or PC specific stuff, to be very honest with you here), but luckily from what I’ve seen on Metacritic, from like 90 professional critics reviews, not too many are that low, so they seem like pretty much outliers. In general the game is quite solid, and if you have any reason to believe it isn’t, well good for you, but I myself had a pretty amazing blast playing this game, and hopefully Capcom ignores those people fixated on bland nostalgia and they keep making remakes like these. That seems to be the intention here, they seem to be fixing some of the inconsistencies in the original stories for the main characters and all that, so hopefully they continue revamping these mainline games and we can see more remakes.    … Expand

    Jogo incrível, poucas coisas me incomodaram como por exemplo, excesso de cenas em que eu sentia que eu poderia estar controlando o personagem, mas estava só assistindo. Por mais que fossem cenas incriveis, eu sentia que poderia ter pelo menos uma pequena participação. Também senti falta de passar mais tempo nas ruas da cidade, senti falta do pequeno Bar que acabamos vendo apenas em uma cena!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil 3 is a great reimagination of the original released back in 1999.
    It has great graphics, great sound track, no major bugs and the base story of Jill struggling to escape Raccoon City is very well told.

    It's important to play this game with a very open mind if you're a die-hard fan of the original.

    Many things have been removed from the 1999 version. No clock tower, no gravedigger, no cemetery amongst other things
    Nemesis transformations are very different from the original too.

    Even so, it's a very nice game, it's more towards action than horror just like the original.
    It makes a very slight connection to RE4 and also makes connections to RE2 Remake events.

    Could've been better if more faithful to the original, but it's a great game nevertheless    … Expand

    While last year’s Resident Evil 2 took the story and settings of the original game and expanded them into a finely tuned masterpiece, Resident Evil 3 feels like it took a much different approach. The story, and the path it takes from beginning to end, has seen some substantial changes compared to the original to the point where it’s sometimes difficult to see any semblance of its source material under this new coat of polygons and paint. That having been said, I did enjoy my time with Resident Evil 3 and I think that fans of the series, or fans of its predecessor, will enjoy it. However, one group I feel like it might struggle to impress are the fans of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis which is quite unfortunate after how well last year’s Resident Evil 2 was received.

    Not only it doesn’t surpass RE2, it fails to even hit the same mark. In RE2, every act had you explore a rather large environment, search for clues and solve puzzles. In RE3, you just run down a corridor, blasting zombies and dodging scripted Nemesis attacks. [Issue#245, p.46]

    Unlike the remake of Resident Evil 2, this is a simple, straightforward blockbuster, short, colorful, and mindless. As for Resident Evil: Resistance, you will probably quit it after spending half an hour in this boring L4D clone.
