    This review is from someone who pre-ordered the original RE3 back in 1999 and played it to death.

It's hard to call Resident Evil 3 a remake, there's so much missing content it's more of a reimagining than a remake. Overall the game feels unfinished if you've played the original 1999 release of Resident Evil 3. Capcom set the standard for what a remake should be with the Resident Evil Remake release on GameCube back in 2002. A remake is supposed to recreate the original game and EXPAND on the story arcs and lore. Not remove it entirely! What's missing:

    -No live selection system (which KILLS replayability). This was a huge feature of RE3 where you made your own choices throughout the game. Kind of like pick a path.
    -No clock tower section.
    -No Raccoon Park section.
    -No cemetery section.
    -No gravedigger worm battle.
    -No dead factory section, so we have yet **another** secret underground umbrella lab. How trite.
    -Nemesis sections often feel more like I'm watching a movie than playing a game. The fabulous Mr. X stalking mechanics from Resident Evil 2 Remake are NOT implemented here with Nemesis.
    -No spiders.
    -No freeze rounds.
    -Greatly reduced puzzle sections.
    -*SPOILERS* No Barry flying the chopper in the end so it's like his character has been erased from the lore (speaking of the ending the nuclear bomb strike was completely watered down and utterly KILLED the emotional impact of seeing Raccoon City destroyed that the original game showcased. You were actually left feeling sad at the end of the original, but I just felt ripped off at the end of this so called "remake".

    What they did actually include in the game I absolutely loved. The first hour of the game is fantastic although the mesmerizing FMV of the PlayStation original which showcases the zombies overrunning the city has been completely watered down and gives the zombie apocalypse far less impact. It has been replaced by a cheaply made and jarring live action movie using real actors. There's just too much ripped out of the original game for me to think this was a worthy effort. It feels like an extended DLC for RE2 Remake. Overall I'm disappointed at Capcom. The game feels like a rushed cash grab and is a heartbreaking missed opportunity to have created something really, really special with the new implementation of a live selection system especially.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This GAME was a TOTAL SCAM from CR4PCØM.
    To supposedly be a FULL Game, it feels more like just a DLC of BIOHAZARD 2{2019}; It's too expensive considering the quantity of content than it has, DEFINITELY NOT WORTH 60 DOLLARS.
    It's developers even removed too much content, which it's odd when one considers the fact of the same being a 2020 game, not a 1999 game, even whole areas with respect to its original version from 1999 were entirely removed, like the City Hall, the Press Office, St. Michael's Clock Tower, the Raccoon Park, the Cemetery & the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A; It doesn't even have the "Live Selection", which was basically the main reason of why its original version was so interesting & popular.
    It has lots of very unpolished animations, like when Jill breasts suddenly get bigger & move themselves in a very unrealistic way in places like elevators; Zombie corpses can float in the air, or their corpses can explode like balloons; Zombies can make some very weird biting animations; Zombie Gore was severely downgraded in comparison with BIOHAZARD 2{2019}; The zombies are always animate at a maximum of 30 FPS when they are just a bit far from the player; Some parts of it has some very low textures, which is odd for a 2020 game, like the og picture of the S.T.A.R.S. team at the S.T.A.R.S. office.
    It has lots of very cheesy scenes with & without QTE, in which several of those scenes Jill obviously should have died, as when NOSEMESIS fires its Rocket Launcher, & the missile practically explodess at Jill's feet, but it just causes her to be expelled by the explosion, instead of being killed by either the explosion or the sharp-metal coming from it, which obviously would be the only 2 logical outcomes in such a situation....
    BTW: Thanx CR4PCØM, for turning Jill Valentine into a SJW stereotype of a Mary Sue in the style & looks of Alice Abernathy{Milla Jovob¡tch}, to such a degree, that Jill in this title can even lift & use, a Railgun that will weigh at least 45 kg & all by herself, "because something of the sort is VERY REALISTIC!" Also, for making Carlos Oliveira stick his finger in the plug & basically turning him on Chris 2.0, being Carlos in this title even capable of killing BOWs, like the Hunters, by just punching them, "because we all know that something of the sort is also VERY REALISTIC!!"    … Expand

    Places like the park, cemetary, clock tower, the grave digger and the dead factory are no more.
    Mercernaries game mode is also removed, instead we got a crappy multiplayer game called Resistance nobody ever asked for. All that just to justify the $60 and even $90 price tag in some countries.
    The game feels like RE5-6 in terms of mechanics and gameplay and that's exactly everything that is wrong with this remake, if we can call it that.
    Nemesis is a joke, it's like a MR.X with an awful redesign. He's heavily scripted and his behaviour doesn't make any sense. Not to mention that some of his moves are a joke.
    The gore has been reduced for no reason, the OST is just terrible and like in RE2 Remake, they didn't tried their best at all. But at least in RE2 we had the option to switch to the original OST while in RE3 that option doesn't exist and you're forced to play with the awful remake version of the songs.
    And don't even get me started on the final battle which is pure unfiltered garbage straight out of an anime or the typical Platinum games that i hate.

    Hard to believe how they butchered this remake after the masterpiece that they've done with Reside nt Evil 2 remake.
    Refund made, i'm not even bothering with Capcom and future Resident Evil titles anymore, this is just pathetic.

    This is what happens when you leave the remake in charge of an incompetent team that didn't even play the original game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident evil 3 was my favourite game on older consoles and i was at least hoping this game would at least be on par with resident evil 2 remake but it's actually not.

    This was quite simply a huge letdown it just goes to show that graphics aren't everything and gameplay, length and replayability is everything.

    The amount of things that were cut from the original game is quite simply embarrassing and at times this game didn't even feel like resident evil 3 especially nemesis phase 2 which was pretty much a boss from a completely different game which acted like a dog....they removed the clocktower section & tenticle nemesis for this let that sink in.

    Racoon city was far too small and completely unrecognizable

    The rpd was mostly terrible most of the rpd was completely shut down and not explorable.

    Nemesis ended up being scripted instead of a free roaming threat

    Nemesis drops cases that have absolutely nothing of intrest.

    Nemesis is downed by a breath of fresh air

    Weapon sights or should i say reticles were beyond pointless.

    Final form nemesis is a roll simulator especially on inferno.

    Stun locks galore on harder difficulties when knocked down and you're unable to recover you may aswell just put your controller down also related to final form nemesis which by the way looks good but it's poorly executed in terms of weapons that are useful against this boss...all the hard work you did saving ammo was for nothing.

    No choice system like the original made the game far too predictable and boring during your next playthroughs of the game plus speedruns are just boring with how short the game is.

    Very poor puzzles

    Overall just not good enough to keep me playing and this game in particular has put me off wanting to play any future remakes all capcom had to do was build off the original resident evil 3 and improve.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -This title is basically Gears of Wars 3 all over again, with action, shooting and bullets to the extreme.. regardless of the level of difficulty!
    -The higher levels of difficulty are not selectable from the start, which obviously means.. that one's first gameplay in it will not be ideal regarding the possibility of a TRUE CHALLENGE in the SURVIVAL HORROR genre, because one has already finished the game to access them.
    -Lots of scripted scenes.. that makes it look more like a Cheesy-Action-Movie than a SURVIVAL HORROR game.
    -Its characters look as if they are bathed in oil, but in the case of the feminist Jill.. it is oil and mud.
    -Nemesis' appearance is ridiculous, having a nose, being wrapped in trash bags, and it even transform itself into a Licker, which is quite similar to the one in the RE1 movie of the Milla.
    -Jill's feminist appearance makes her quite similar to Milla Jovovich.
    -Carlos is basically a Chirs 2.0, and he can even kill B.O.W.s by just punching them, which is ABSURD!
    -It has PLOT HOLES regarding the main continuity of the RE saga, such as Brad Vickers zombie biting Marvin Branagh, when in the "RE: Outbreak File 2", Marvin already appears injured at the end of the scenario "Desperate Times", which causes that such scripted scene in this RE3: Reimagined to doesn't make any fvcking sense whatsoever!    … Expand

    - Linearity: the game was extremely linear, most of the game forcing you to progress down a single hallway like path.
    - the price: I payed 80 bucks for a 4 hour game with no real replay value... this game felt like they could've sold it as a 30 dollar DLC to the re2 remake
    - no puzzles: part of what makes the resident evil games great is the puzzles, and this games puzzles were little to none
    - nemesis: why was his time in the game cut so much? he was in cutscenes more than in the gameplay.
    - Jill: they made Jill into such a weird looking character and they also made her personality really lame, like a teenage or annoying young 20 yr old girl.

    Overall, the game was enjoyable, but felt like a really really lazy remake compared to re2 remake. From what I understand, they outsourced the development of this game to a smaller company with less budget... so who knows. The game was still extremely disappointing in the shadow of the RE2 remake.    … Expand

    Игру я так и не прошёл. Моя голова уже начала болеть от того количества фейспалмов, которые я себе отбивал время от времени из-за тупости и кривизны происходящего на экране. Честно говорю, что я читал плохие обзоры на игру ещё до её выхода и уже тогда смекнул, что наверное не стоит заморачиваться на мнении масс и дать игре шанс, потому что от сего ремейка уж точно будет чему улыбнуться давнему хардкорному фанату RE. Я никогда в жизни так не ошибался...
    Начнём с редизайна персонажей.Джилл. Нет, сама по себе она прекрасна. Её внешность и голос близки к идеалу того, чего я ожидал.НО. При предзаказе нас всех жёстко на е бали, выдав всем "классический костюм" Джилл с юбкой и топом. Радости не было предела, потому что её новая одежда реально ударила по канону. Юбкой и топом. Или нет? Ну конечно нет. Юбка была заменена неким подобием шорт. ШОРТЫ,КАРЛ. В чём была проблема разрабов сделать классическую юбку Джилл? Я до сих пор не вкуриваю прикола. То ли это фемки реально начали давить на "уязвимость", то ли разрабы поехали крышей на "реализме",типа:"ну неудобно же бегать в зомби апокалипсис в юбке".Кек, а поднимать 150кг лазерную пушку при весе тела в 55-60кг - удобно?Что за абсурд?.(Да и вообще о каком нахрен реализме может идти речь в игре по RE?ЭТО ЖЕ ИГРА ПРО ЗОМБИ,ВАШУ МАТЬ).
    Поехали дальше. Немесис.. Ну просто шикарный. Неутомимый. Зловещий. Устрашающий. (Это всё сарказм,он просто жалок по сравнению со старичком Немесис из оригинала). Ничего не буду про него говорить, о нём уже давно всё сказано.
    Следующий пункт, от которого у меня бомбит - разрабы хотели раскрыть второстепенных персонажей больше. Когда я это узнал, я визжал от радости,надеясь на более глубокую историю Михаила, или похождения гниды Николая. Но уж никак я не ожидал то,что под второстепенными персонажами они имели в виду никому не упёршегося н игера, который в оригинале имел роль куска мяса,который должен был себя подорвать гранатой. Так вот, ему выделили в игре больше хронометража,чем тому же Михаилу, или же Николаю.
    О самом сюжете в целом. Вырезано более 70% оригинальной игры. Что же вырезано?
    Вырезана Часовня.Вырезан гигантский червь.Вырезан парк города.
    Вырезано кладбище.
    Вырезаны пауки.
    Вырезаны некоторые враги(типа мелких миног-червей).
    Вырезан момент,где Джилл посещает полицейский участок(где смысл этого - не понятно)
    Немесис больше не убивает Брэда.(Т.е смысл "убийцы" отряда S.T.A.R.S просто теряется)

Where are all the people getting attacked by zombies? There are characters running away, but show me the direct threat of the antagonists interacting with the uninfected. This makes the atmosphere feel kind of small and empty. No clock tower, no park, not being to return to Dario Rosso to find out his fate.

    The game looks great, and the voice acting is solid. There were some fun moments. I think newcomers to this game will enjoy it a lot more. For me, it was a huge let down; I'll stick to the original.    … Expand

    O jogo foi inteiramente cortado, o Nemesis é extremamente scriptado, vários locais do jogo clássico foram removidos, o jogo não é um survival horror como os clássicos, o jogo clássico tinha vários momentos de de escolha e era mundo aberto, dependendo de onde você passar primeiro pela mapa a história pode mudar, o único acerto foram os gráficos que estão lindos

    The story is too short, they cuted everything from the classic, a short game with a price of a full game, only 5 hours to beat.

    Proof that better graphics do not make for a better game... the original was so much better. Honestly it feels like only half a game. ONLY BUY THIS GAME ON SALE.

It IS WORTH playing but you are not going to want to replay this one. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM with this remake is that if feels like they took more out of game compared to the original and it feels rushed soul-less and empty. In a remake I feel like they need to add more not take more out.

    ++ Nemesis feels more like a treating than ever in terms of strength, and speed.
    + The power station bug section is amazing and unique and the game needed a lot more of those sections.
    + The dodging mechanic is back and it feels good when you get it right! A very good add to this game.
    +++ The end game timer does not count the cut-scenes & the cinematic moments
    +/- First of all the game is too short but that has never been a problem for the RE series BUT since there are no puzzles and the game is linear that becomes a MAJOR problem.
    + Changing Jill's design because in the original the tube top and mini shirt just don't make sense.
    ---NO RE-PLAYABILITY (harder modes do not count)
    -The puzzles are too easy to the point where it is embarrassing.
    -This game sacrificed having a big city to explore to becoming something that felt empty and horribly linear. There are too many landmarks in the city missing, No clock tower (mostly), No Raccon Park, No graveyard, No gas station, No newspaper building, No Mayor statues. No construction sites (not really). The game did not feel like a city if felt like 2 blocks of a town and that is a huge problem.
    - The story was so poorly written and that pacing felt so rushed that characters never got a chance to have the interactions they needed for the story to feel right.
    - The original game has these quick time events where you had to make decisions that really effected game play and enhanced re-playability and because that was neglected that game feels linear and empty.
    - Missing enemies like giant worm, Grave digger and spider
    - No multiple endings.

    I just want to be honest this game is NOT a 0 but it is NOT a 10 by any means.    … Expand

    The game is rushed in every aspect compared to Resident Evil 2: damage models downgraded, shorter Campaign, less costumes to choose, Iconic areas totally scraped, no more classic soundtrack, Loot Boxes on Resident Evil Resistance and the worst part: Game suffers from Several Frame Drops on the Xbox One X, no one asked for 4K, Resident Evil 2 was already good enough.

    2. There is ALOT of cut content compared to the original RE3 which was also short.

    Gave it a zero. No immersion. You need game flow. Being stuck without any ammo is ridiculous. Nemesis is waiting outside. I can’t get out without getting killed. The game is very unbalanced. Sorry I bought this. Game design is flawed. Must give some power to the gamer. Apparently getting killed continuously has been factored into the game to extend its playability because it’s so short.

The original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999) is by far the most unsettling, intense, and haunting chapter of the original RE trilogy with very good pacing and exploration. It took what came before and injected steroids into it. It was also quite heavy on action, but not overwhelmingly so. What this 'reimagining' did is it got rid of the former (exploration & pacing) and overdosed on the latter (action). Just as Nemesis was removed from the title of the game, you might as well argue he was removed from the game entirely since he was reduced to an extremely scripted occurrence. What the players were teased with was open worlded exploration of Raccoon City as you'd be relentlessly chased by a Mr. X-like enemy. What ended up happening is that you're constantly being pushed in the direction you're supposed to go in an extremely streamlined version of the city (about 50% of the original locations are missing) and the player is incessantly bombarded by scripted action sequences that require barely any input from them to get through besides pressing "Up." A massive disappointment and a travesty considering the price Capcom is charging for what essentially feels like a DLC.… Expand

    Overall this game could be seen as a missed opportunity to flesh out what was — in 1999 — a quick but quirky followup to the more substantial RE3. But from the insane locations and intriguing characters to the stunning looks and satisfying action, this is a stellar game in its own right, and that can't be ignored.

    Parts of the game, such as the opening in Jill’s apartment, look positively cinematic — so textured and atmospheric one can almost imagine that video games will draw near the end of the uncanny valley in our lifetimes. If and when that should occur, I hope that Capcom will have found another horror template than zombies.

    After an explosive start, Resident Evil 3 on Xbox One quickly falls into a familiar rhythm. Having a Tyrant hunt you down is now the new norm for Resident Evil, but the most feared of all will always be Nemesis. He quickly disappears into the cutscenes however, without as much of an impact as you would perhaps hope. Thankfully though, there are enough environment and enemy variations crammed into this short experience that you never get a chance to settle down and acquaint yourself with any one enemy type, and as a survival horror game that is exactly how you want to feel.
