    Долгожданный ремейк для меня, как для фаната оригинальной игры 1999 года. Игра все так же красива. Благодаря RE Engine, картинка очень реалистичная, хоть и немного урезана по сравнению c RE2 2019 года. Игровой процесс остался почти неизменным, но в сравнении с RE2 был сделан более сильный уклон в экшн, чем в хоррор. Главные персонажи претерпели изменения в лучшую сторону. По сравнению с оригиналом, они получились более живыми и проработанными, особенно Карлос. Но я очень рад, что каркас главных героев оставили с оригинальной игры и не стали "изобретать велосипед". А вот про второстепенных персонажей уже нельзя сказать так однозначно. Некоторые из них претерпели изменения в лучшую сторону, а некоторых показали гораздо халтурнее, нежели в 99 году. В игре очень много положительных аспектов, но есть один весомый минус, о котором нельзя промолчать. Наполнение в игре отличное: стрелять все так же приятно, бегать по городу в поисках отмычек и патронов туда-сюда, так же как и в оригинале сделано - прекрасно. Стычки с Немезисом - напряженные и изматывающие. Но, есть одно "но," - ПОЧЕМУ ТАК МАЛО? Это чувство пришло ко мне после 4-того прохождения на сложности "инферно". Вроде все круто и эпично, но вот... мало. Открытое преследование "Немезиса", по локациям игры происходит только единожды. Тогда как в оригинале на PS1 этого было намного больше. В остальном, в ремейке он появляется только по скриптам, и то для "Босс Файта". И ты понимаешь, что вот круто сделали, но мало...Игра ускоренная, и это обусловлено сюжетом. Но если вы игру ускоряете, то наполните ее - еще большим контентом. Тоже самое хочется сказать и о загадках, и о всем содержимом внутри игры, а именно - мало. Я прошел игру и выбил платину с удовольствием, но чувство ненасытности, преследовало меня каждый раз на финальных титрах. Игру рекомендую. Это хороший проект, который я проходил с чувством удовольствия и ностальгии. Надеюсь, Capcom учтут критику для будущих проектов.    … Expand

    I expected more from this remake. They did a good job with Resident Evil 2 Remake, however it feels RE3 was a DLC from the previous one but at U$60?

The new RE3 is really really awesome and enjoyable, after you beat the game are a lot of challenges left to do, like complete it in nightmare and inferno, two modes that are more difficult than hardcore… Expand

    While not as impressive or great as the RE2 Remake, the 3rd game still captures the feel of the original and the new take on Nemesis, locations and other things were welcomed. I really liked it.

    Resident evil 3: Nemesis was the first RE game I ever played growing up. I rented it from a local game store and that was when I found my passion for horror games/zombies/Resident Evil.

I rented it from a local game store and that was when I found my passion for horror games/zombies/Resident Evil. I beat the original RE3 about 5 times before returning it to the game store. I later bought and played Resident evil 2 from the original PlayStation, an absolute masterpiece. Finally I made my way backwards to Resident Evil, the first of the series. Absolutely loved it. Now, jump forward to the GameCube era. Resident evil 1 remake, I was beyond excited to play it. I bought it and immediately took it home and played it into the wee hours of the morning. I was in love with this series and the remake only heightened my love and appreciation for it. Sure, it had its flops (in my opinion) survivor wasn't the greatest, some of the rail shooters are meh. However, I've enjoyed almost every numbered entry in the series (though it wasn't numbered, I also loved Outbreak).

    Fast forward again to the announcement that Resident Evil 2 was getting a full remake from the ground up. I was over the moon excited. The small trailer that released a long while after that showing us the mouse ( a little nod to something for fans of the series) running about in a small room and a zombie innocently gnawing on a man's neck. I couldn't believe how much love went into that small trailer and the remake of RE2 overall. They expanded on many small things, made small bit meaningful changes to the areas and gameplay. However, it was largely the same game, just made with a more modern audience in mind.

    Naturally I assumed and hoped we would hear about a Resident Evil 3 remake, much to my non surprise, we got the announcement in late 2019 and I was wildly excited. It was the first game I ever played in the Resident Evil series and is still to this day my favorite Resident Evil game.

    When I finally got my hands on the Resident Evil 3 remake, I was ecstatic, I couldn't believe the game that started if all for me was now sitting in my PlayStation 4 installing. I eagerly waited for the game to be ready to play. Finally, I saw the install complete popup and I have never smashed a button so fast to open the game. What followed that was roughly 6.5 hours of me trying to convince myself that the remake did what it did to appeal to a modern audience and the massive content cuts were probably for story reasons. I beat the remake of RE3, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I felt a bit hollow inside.

    I know, it sounds sad that a game can have such a negative affect on my feelings, but it's the game in the series that sparked a lifelong passion for the genre. I felt like I had seen nothing of Raccoon city, not like you'd seen it on the original. Nemesis felt rushed, he felt like more of a small annoyance than a looming threat at key moments. I didn't like his makeover, the bent nose look just made me laugh at him, his first transformation happens FAR too early in the game (in my opinion), they underutilized his more humanoid appearance, they removed any trace of the tendrils that would sprout from his body once you injured him enough and the parasite started to show itself more, they removed the clocktower, they removed so many Raccoon city streets areas, the Brad Vickers scene was so short I barely had time to give a **** because I figured I'd see him later before he eats a Nemesis tentacle, the Nest 2 replacing the dead facility for the final location just seemed so boring to me, I was sad they removed multiple choice moments that did serve to prolong the story and make me replay the game multiple times just to see how certain scenarios played out, drain Deimos in the remake are a horrible misfire and serve as nothing more than a one time annoyance. The list of grievances I have with the game is extensive and I am actually so sad with how poorly handled this remake was.

    YES these are just my thoughts so please don't get angry if you personally liked the remake. It had some good qualities, however, they just didn't make up for enough when it comes down to it. It pains me to give this game such a low rating, but I think Capcom should have given this game a lot more love and respect to the original content.    … Expand

    As a RE3 fan I enjoyed the game. There is a lot of replay value here. My biggest gripes are the length is a bit short. The final form boss fight is either laughable on lower difficulty’s, or living hell on the hardest difficulty. It becomes a pattern repetition game that just doesn’t fit in this game. I would buy if you’re a fan of the series, and skip if you’re new to RE

    Resident Evil 2 Is atmospheric intense and horrifying at some point, Resident Evil 3 is the big action movie explosion ending, I like these games on different points I would say they are at combo for each other ,you really get the best experience if you play them both, For whites it does not reach the height of Resident Evil 2 I would say that Resident Evil 3 is more replayable

    This game is short. The new dodge system make this game weird and unrealistic. The design of final boss is disgusting in nightmare and infernal. I prefer instant kill by one hit rather looking at Jill being hit by final boss, struggling on floor, stand up and being hit again(almost every single time). Waste of time and looks stupid.

    It would have got a 10/10 if they kept the first part for exploration rather than a cinematic "cutscene".
    The original is still better with Nemesis following you around and being terrified at how you're going to defend against it.
    Needed a little more intense terror along with the action.
    A bit too short imo.

Su escenario principal como lo es Racoon City es maravilloso y agradable a la vista, también resalto que si Capcom plantea un juego de acción de esta saga, es así como debe ser, balanceado con su Survivor Horror que caracterizó la primera entrega de la saga. Sin embargo lo que es la trama sacrifica lo que es la experiencia jugable, pues decide poner mayor peso a la trama y personajes (que es algo bueno en gran parte) que a la inmersión del terror y pérdida que plantea en un verdadero Resident Evil. Su duración no justifica su precio y quizás si eres un fan puritano de esta franquicia, te diviertas más en una dificultad más alta y un nuevo game plus, del cual menos mal el juego no demora en llegar a eso por los problemas de duración que mencioné anteriormente. Jill Valentine vuelve con toda pero quien no lo hace, es Nemesis, quien se reduce a un mero obstáculo artificial y scriptado según la trama lo necesite. Y quiero resltar, NO SON MUCHOS. Pues a diferencia del Tyrant visto en Resident Evil 2 suponía más una amenaza aleatoria y estresante para el jugador del cual Nemesis no es capaz de seguir. Y a pesar de sus alucinantes boss fights es un hueco que deja un sabor agridulce al terminar el juego. No quiero incluir una review de Resistance pues creo y siento que es un juego aparte y que es totalmente mediocre. Esperemos que para futuros remakes o juegos principales este modo no venga incluido y que apelen al tan confiable mercenarios que siempre ha sido una delicia de disfrutar… Expand

    Its a worse version of resident evil 2 in almost every aspect
    The game is so short that most players will beat in around 6 hours
    The story is very basic
    They butchered the nemsis, you only face him as the OG form one time and then it transforms into a very basic form that has been used in so many games, it looks mire like ALIEN than nemsis
    This remake needs a remake itself.

    Even though it is a very successful game, you will feel a little disappointed. Compared to the remake of the second game, this one often loses its pace and it is impossible to get rid of the impression that there could and should have been more to this game. [Issue#303]

    After a stellar remake of an arguably the best Resident Evil game ever made, Capcom has let down our expectations by giving us a more scripted, more linear survival horror action game that will probably be forgotten like so many sequels that have gone the path of less resistance when it comes to game design. RE3 make feels more like a DLC than a full-blown game.
