    It's a game without areas and many moments of the First RE3. The choose system not exists, don't have mercenaries mod and don't have Berry.

    The price is high

    They took so many things out from the original, it was so sad... the game is not the longest, and nemesis doesnt really stand out... cant really compare to re2 remake, and wont even try to compare to the original RE 3. They failed massively and its sad... If I were you I'd wait and buy it second hand or when it gets a super discount... Right now not worth the money youre paying for it...

    The Game has to be longer like it did with Resident Evil 2 remake and same as the original 1999 ps1 version..
    but there no stuff in there
    No Clock tower
    no raccoon park
    no Cemetery
    no Dead Factory because the Umbrella Lab NEST 2 is in the Dead Factory with the Railgun instead of the Raccoon City Memorial Hospital because in the original Carlos went to the hospital to find Dr Nathaniel Bard for the Vaccine cure to cure Jill in the Clock tower and before the nemesis broke through.
    also No Grave Digger Boss that's missing
    weapons like Freeze rounds for Explosive C 2x and those Explosive B and C would combine as Mine Rounds those are missing. instead we got Explosive rounds, Flame rounds, Acid rounds and Mine rounds.
    Enemies too as well like the Spiders and Crows are missing the Brain suckers were missing even those Blue herbs would stop the poison from happening in your body. but at least we had the good enemies back like Zombies, Zombie dogs (Cerberus), Lickers, Drain Deimos, even the Hunters like Hunter Beta and Hunter Gamma but they must of replace the crows and spiders with these new enemies like Pald heads and Ne-A parasite that controls Zombies, even Brain suckers would be perfect in the Dead factory level in Nest 2.
    also the second form of nemesis is missing too because his second form he had Tentacles came out of his body and hand before he turn into a beast form but the last form i think he was a Parasitic Metamorphosis Bug like Insect combine with a parasite and the Tryant.
    also the Extra mode would be Mercenaries that would be awesome to play like Carlos, Mikhail viktor, Nikoial, and Tyrell to play in the Mercenaries mode... also the ending they should put Berry Burton in the game as well and the cut scene where Raccoon City explodes from a Missile strike. I just wish Capcom would go back and fix the whole game by putting all the stuff in there. and make it better than just fast and go type..

    Remake really missed with a lot of developped time that have to remove lots of thing from the original game and too short, game play to review, Capcom will have this concentrated more on RE3 than in multiplayer mode! I hope that will review more for the Véronica code! RE2 was succeed him

Is a decent game, but not a RE3 Remake. Too short and linear. I was happy the series got back to its roots on RE7 (wich was great) and RE2 Remake (also great, dispite the cutt offs). But this installment made me divided. The first part of the game was great, and that's it. The design of the Hunters were pretty great and they are awsome. Carlos is awsome, the cinematics are great. The OST is ok, with original tracks remixed. The ties with RE2 were fine. But RE soul is to explore, to backtrack, to solve riddles and puzzles. This is a deal breaker for me, i wont be buying any titles from here on, CAPCOM begun to make great things with RE Engine but it seems they entered the "confort" zone again. RE3 was a great waste of potential. Expand

    Want a sincere review? THEN READ UP TO THE END

    00:00 on April 3rd, not a second more, I opened the game and started playing. Right away, I was already surprised: The game shows absurd details that we would never think to see more deeply, you finally get to know WHY Jill starts the game so hurriedly, they went deeper into the beginning, and I know that almost nobody noticed it, but the beginning of RE3 (99) is quite flawed, it does not explain anything, it is very vast, but this vast space is not used. This was fixed in Remake, you now have a full idea of ​​how it all started: frantically and without time to breathe. Speaking of the beginning: right when you start the game, you soon notice the work that Capcom has been doing with its RE Engine, because the game is incredibly beautiful and lighter, there are few FPS drops throughout the game.

    With Resident Evil 3 being (READ CAREFULLY) and I repeat: READ CAREFULLY, a REIMAGINATION of the original Resident Evil 3, I must disregard any criticism about the lack of puzzles, scenes from the original game or something like that. GOOD PART OF THINGS CHANGED, and changed for real, are scenes missing? Yes. Are there any classic scenarios missing? No. You are literally playing a reimagination of something over 20 years old, which is considered beautiful today can be horrible 20 years from now, think about it.

    The difficulty is ok, because the difference here is in which you play, Normal or Intense (or whatever it is called in your native language), it varies a lot from person to person, but I would say it is 'nice' to finish the play on Normal difficulty, and as expected, it is 'intense' to play on Intense difficulty. There is not much to say, as time goes by you decrease your wanderings in the campaign, take more practice of dodging and learn how to master the game.

    I don't know if you noticed, but in this game there is an enemy called "Nemesis": THIS SON OF A **** IS MUCH MORE TERRORIZING THAN THE ORIGINAL. I know, many nostalgic people would say that I'm wrong, which is a **** lie. The original Nemesis was fought, as well as the gameplay, but for me it was the most iconic villain ever created in a game. IT WAS THE MOST ICONIC, because the current Nemesis arrives kicking the ass of whoever is ahead, with an absurd variation of weapons, in addition to the guy appearing in totally unexpected moments, that is, be prepared to take some scares! ... I would say that this Nemesis is the ultimate Nemesis, he has no limitations whatsoever, he is everything Capcom wanted for the original: A relentless enemy, SON OF A **** with an incredible variety of weapons, and a **** persistence.

    The final battle leaves nothing to be desired (like almost everything in this game, or personally, like nothing in this game). It's just incredible, beautiful in many ways, I really expected fewer battles and a Nemesis with less shapes, but I was surprised: You really fight Nemesis in many different ways in many different places, until you reach the end. The end is standard Capcom, if you are an old player on the chart, you will deal well with the last Nemesis, the one whose final appearance is much more realistic, in the sense that it matches more with the strength and veracity of his own. It is perhaps one of the worst monstrosities that Capcom can think of in the end (and one of the most disgusting perhaps?) ... There is not much else to say, just feel it!

    And finally, the final score of the game: 10/10, and if I could I would give an 11/10, but on a scale of 0 to 10, 11 does not exist and that would not make any sense. The game is AMAZING, almost nothing, and it is the perfect reimagination of the classic Resident Evil 3. You feel how much more faithful the reality of what happened in Jill's life in those days in this remake, everything sounds more terrifying, because everything is more realistic, Nemesis shows in ALL POSSIBLE WAYS how persistent he is, and Jill shows how much more persistent and courageous she is, generating this duel of giants that is Resident Evil 3.

    Let it came, Code: Veronica.

    RESIDENT EVIL 3 É UM ÓTIMA RELEITURA, MAS DECEPCIONA COMO UM REMAKE

    Como um jogo novo, RESIDENT EVIL 3 é fantástico mesmo com uma história curta, mas rica comparado ao original ao qual, a história da Jill e Carlos são bem construídas, entretanto, se você pensar que vai jogar o mesmo jogo de 1999, você vai se decepcionar. Como fã de longa data, fui de mente aberta, e gostei desta nova experiência e vou dizer o porquê.

    Pra quem é fã de longa data como eu, é um prato cheio por rever a personagem feminina mais icônica da franquia e ao meu ver, dos games ao lado da Lara Croft, Jill Vallentine e para a minha surpresa, Carlos Oliveira um legítimo BR ganha uma visibilidade maior dentro do jogo, RE3 de 2020 poderia muito bem ter duas campanhas, pois o Carlos de 2020 é muito mais icônico e marcante que o Carlos de 1999, fora Nicholai e Mikhail que são personagens marcantes da franquia, já Nemesis é mais marcante no clássico, pois te perseguia a onde você ia, o que fez a fama de um dos maiores clássicos dos videogames, já na releitura, Nemesis é tratado como um simples monstro, apesar de dar trabalho em alguns pontos, poderiam ter dado mais visibilidade dentro do jogo. O início do game te coloca em primeira pessoa na pele de Jill, lembrando da visão da câmera de RE7 (que é um baita jogão e reviveu a franquia que o 6 quase matou), o jogo já começa frenético e correndo do gengivão, um dos pontos em que sempre senti falta no clássico, é não mostrar desde o início como a Jill chega no depósito onde está Dario Rosso o que foi bem contado na releitura e fora a otimização do game que está MUITO BOA, até em PC’s menos robustos, você consegue jogar com qualidade e uma boa performance.

    Mas todo grande jogo, sempre tem pelo menos uma decepção e em RE3 de 2020 foram alguns, o que fizeram com o Brad foi extremamente errôneo, pois uma das cenas clássicas é a morte do agente da S.T.A.R.S nas mãos do Nemesis e pensei que o Marvin poderia ser melhor explorado e a razão da mordida apesar de ter tido uma ideia boa, mas a execução foi ruim, além do que, alguns pontos icônicos do clássico ficou de fora como a Raccoon Park próxima ao hospital, mais puzzles e complexos, pois os existentes são bem tranquilos de realizar, uma exploração maior da R.P.D que poderia ser feito com o Carlos como ocorreu neste game, o Grave Digger, monstro icônico que a Jill enfrenta antes de chegar no Trem/Bonde e a incrível Clock Tower, esses dois últimos fizeram MUITA FALTA dentro da releitura, o que poderia dar uma longevidade a história que é curta, mas os clássicos também eram, RE2 e RE3 clássico, você pode zerar em menos de 1hr, eu mesmo já zerei os dois games abaixo de uma hora, mas claro, depois de desbloquear as armas mais fortes do game que são infinitas. RESIDENT EVIL 3 de 2020 eu levei mais de 1hr e 7 minutos para zerar, mas na primeira vez, demorei mais de 7hrs, pois aproveitei e explorei cada ponto do mapa e comparando com o clássico, e fazendo isso, me deixou a impressão de que a Raccoon City de 1999 era maior que de 2020.

    COMPREM se vocês tiverem de mente aberta, pois é um jogo que você consegue aproveitar bastante até completar todas as conquistas, até o momento desta análise, me faltam duas onde uma delas, exige que você termine no MODO INFERNO, esse jogo merece ser jogado e nada melhor do que você mesmo tirar as próprias conclusões e uma dica de coração para geral, nunca vá por notinha de jornalista, pois a maioria não mostra ser o que é o jogo, a review da PC Gamer gringa é simplesmente ridícula, esse jogo não é nota 10, mas também não é nota 5,8 como deram. Não acho que é melhor que o RE2 de 2019 que tem brechas na história. Se a CAPCOM não fosse preguiçosa com os 2 titulos de 2019 e 2020, poderiam ganhar o prêmio de jogo do ano, o famoso GOTY, a CAPCOM perdeu para ela mesma em 2019. Enfim, é um jogo que vai dividir opiniões, eu GOSTEI MUITO, foi uma boa releitura, um remake? Fugiu bastante dessa ideia. Quem um jogo igual o clássico? Simples, jogue o clássico, pois é um game que vale revisitar ao longo dos anos, RESIDENT EVIL 3 é uma bela releitura, com uma história melhor, mas falha como Remake, pois cortaram diversos pontos do clássico.

    O que me deixa feliz, é que podemos ver ou em um Revelations ou em sequências da franquia principal, a imagem de Jill e Carlos que merecem ser mais explorados como foram neste RE3. o Chris apesar de gostar bastante, já tá saturado, apareceu no 5, 6 e 7, tá bom né?
    Que venha o Code Verônica, RE4 Remake com uma boa história desta vez. E se tem um jogo que não precisa fazer uma Remake, mas sim uma RELEITURA POR COMPLETO, é o Resident Evil 6, pois esse quase matou a franquia e deveria ser refeito e interligar com a história do 7.

    Jogabilidade: 9,5/10
    História: 9,5/10

    They had a winning formula in RE2:R but decided to digress into action packed zombie film. The last straw being removing the clock tower part of the game which is THE most scary house in the franchise.

    I was excited to hear that one of my favorite RE games was getting a remake with the same treatment as RE2. Or so I thought. The remake is lacking so much in content that made the original game stand out. There is no multiple choice selection for a different outcome. Some of the most memorable areas such as the clock tower, Racoon Park or the cemetery are taken out of the game.

Nemesis doesn't have the same scare factor as Mr X does in RE2, looks cheap and are mainly mini boss fights. There are alot of recycled assets that are used throughout. This is like a miniature RE6 but without the QTEs... which is a bonus because there are none. A disappointment but I enjoyed it with how short the game is (6 hours on normal difficulty. Can complete in 2 hours if you speed run it)

    The positive is the graphics looks amazing, runs smoothly on the Xbox One X. The first hour of the game does a great job of recreating the FMV at the original game. Smooth controls like in RE2.

    This should have been a DLC add on for RE2, Not a full retail priced game. If you do want to play then I recommend that you should at least rent it (Or buy it on sale if your patient.).

    I really enjoyed Resident Evil 3. I think i enjoyed it however, because it felt as though it was essentially DLC for the last instalment.

    Its a great looking game. its functionally very good, offering a smooth experience and is always fun to play. However, RE2 and its engine was designed to maximise the experience you want from a slow-paced, tense horror, and does not translate as well
    I really enjoyed Resident Evil 3. I think i enjoyed it however, because it felt as though it was essentially DLC for the last instalment.

    Its a great looking game. its functionally very good, offering a smooth experience and is always fun to play. However, RE2 and its engine was designed to maximise the experience you want from a slow-paced, tense horror, and does not translate as well to the more action orientated third game. The centre piece of this offering is Nemesis, despite his removal from the title, and sadly its AI is not as impressive as even Mr X from RE2. You never feel in much danger, with Nemesis' appearances failing to surprise or even offer much difficulty. The whole game is very easy and very short, and if the developers were to argue they were going for more a cinematic take in this game, they failed with regards to this too. The narrative, like with all RE games, is awful, with you never really feeling invested in anything going on. As fun as Jill and Carlos are to play as, there is zero depth to their character or relationship. Other villains were cartoonistic and shallow.

    Its not particularly bad, but its not better than the last game in any way, and this is bad. It feels like a cash grab and so after finishing the game, even though i enjoyed it, i'm left with the feeling that it could have been so much better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The campaign was far too short and their reimagining seemed more like a rush job than an actual attempt at a remaster of a dated masterpiece. Multiple segments of the original game were flat out cut out of the game altogether. Nemesis is by far the weakest aspect of this game, his appearances are scripted instead of constantly being chased...not much of a pursuer in this game. The lack of content after the campaign was a let down too...its far less than the standard resident evil game and far less generous than the Resident Evil 2 remake. Instead of Mercenaries mode we are given resistance...I have no words for that thing. I did enjoy the changes to Jill...its about all I enjoyed.

    The classic Resident Evil Games have a special magic to them. Resident Evil 2 Remake accomplished to bring that magic to modern times with only slight compromises. While the remake of Resident Evil 3 manages to prevail some of that oldschool Resident Evil flair, a lot of it got cut out, not only compared to the original RE3 but also compared it's direct predecessor, the fabulous RE2 Remake.
    While i can live with certain changes like no choices or no multiple endings or the missing clocktower part, i absolutely don't understand why there are almost no puzzles in this game. A classic Resident Evil game with only a handful, super easy puzzles? That's a bummer!
    Thinking and solving riddles was a great counterpart to the surrounding brutality, horror and action.
    But the most annoying thing in this remake is the fact, that it's difficulty got dumbed down.
    There are typewriters every five minutes where you can save your "progress". But not only that, this game also autosaves almost everywhere. There is nothing at stake anymore! It feels like there is always a safety net beneath you and nothing bad can happen anyways. But this takes the fear or excitement of losing completely out of it. I played it on "hardcore" or "veteran" (in europe) difficulty and even there i felt like nothing really bad can happen to me because, yeah, autosave and a million typewriters. It feels like capcom wanted to avoid at any cost that the player could feel unpleasant or annoyed, so therefore the safety net.
    Also the inventory management got simplified and you find plenty of hip pouches easily. And where are the blue herbs?
    The main game is good, not great, not excellent, but good. You can argue about the length, yes, but on "hardcore" ("veteran") i played about 12 hours all in all and was kinda satisfied. The bossfights were hard! That's good.
    But the multiplayer called Resistance is clunky and chaotic. Fighting as a group against the mastermind. The idea sounds good, but its execution is bad. And why random teenagers? The RE franchise has enough characters to chose from.
    I still hope capcom is going to remake the first Resident Evil or Code Veronica with this new, outstanding engine. But if they do, please with more time and care.

    O mapa é quase inaceitavel, tiraram elementos épicos como o cemitario, a CLOCK TOWER e a ida da Jill na RPD.
    Em conclusao, os desenvolvedores ignoraram a base primordial do jogo, colocam um gráfico (que esta perfeito aliás) melhorado e usaram o sucesso do Nemesis para alavancar vendas porém nao deu certo porque se trata de um jogo muito importante na franquia e para os fas e deciram jogar tudo isso fora por um trabalho mais ou menos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Listen, I actually enjoy this game all through, but it is not a good remake(or should I say reimagining). I think the negativity on Metacritic for this game is a bit excessive in my opinion because it is not the worst Resident Evil game, just not a good reimaging game. The fact that this game is $60 is crazy since the campaign is really short yet it felt long and the game felt so linear without any exploring freedom. The main enemy, Nemesis, is barely in this game which is rather disappointing, everything felt rush yet long...I don't what to say. I liked how they made Jill cocky, love the dodge mechanics, Raccoon City is beautiful to be in, Nemesis is terrifying(when he shows up), and the rest of the characters is alright. I'm more disappointed that they remove some of the best parts of the original Resident Evil 3 like the Gravedigger, the park, even the FREAKIN CLOCK TOWER, and barely any puzzles in this game. Overall, is not a good game or a bad game, just disappointing. I was hoping this game would be quite as good as Resident Evil 2 Remake from last year, but it felt like a downgrade from it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At the weekend I brought the game to the end and took a total of 4 hours 54 hours and achieved a meager 380 gamerscore and ranked C.

    I had my entertaining fun, but it doesn't match the atmospheric density of the second part. Resident Evil 3 felt more like a pure action game. It starts with this "cheat" evasive role, which was helpful but felt too inappropriate.

    For me, the nemesis is only a shadow of the Tyrant, from which a threat emanated solely through its presence. The Nemesis was just a recurring action cannon fodder for me, even if the sequences were done very cool and the cattle are very aggressive.

    I also found the protagonists rather weak. Jill was a really cool character, I hardly connected with the rest, especially Nicholai was just annoying.

    In terms of graphics, there is actually nothing to complain about, and I didn't have any bugs or performance problems worth mentioning. The place around these spider-like insects was very cool and really disgusting in its staging: D.

    In spite of all that, I certainly had my 5 hours of fun and that's why there are 7/10 zombies.

    I cannot see how people are giving this game 10's, this is nowhere near a perfect game, whilst this also is nowhere near a 0 or 1. I think it's important that this is a Reimagining of the Resident Evil 3 game, not a faithful remake or remaster, this is a reimagining. Both this and RE2's remake, are completely different games, they shouldn't be compared directly with each other. However,I cannot see how people are giving this game 10's, this is nowhere near a perfect game, whilst this also is nowhere near a 0 or 1. I think it's important that this is a Reimagining of the Resident Evil 3 game, not a faithful remake or remaster, this is a reimagining. Both this and RE2's remake, are completely different games, they shouldn't be compared directly with each other. However, it's clear that "MORE" detail was put into the 2nd's remake last year.

    RE3 Reimagining is a somewhat faithful attempt at recreating the story of Jill Valentine in RE3 the original. The RE Engine is at full works in this game, with the game showcasing fantastic graphics and a very enjoyable gameplay experience. Unfortunately, while these are separate games, a lot of assets have clearly been reused from last year's RE2 remake, this is clearly evident with zombies, with a lot of zombies being reused from the zombies we mostly encountered in the Police station.

    A lot has changed from Re3 original to this reimagining. For starters, Jill and Carlos both have different looks, Jill, compared to her Re1 and Re3 look has a slightly darker complexion and a different outfit from the get-go, however, you can still get the original outfit by purchasing a DLC item. Carlos has a new haircut and a new personality. I think Carlos looks better in the original outfit (again paid DLC), but it's all preference. The new designs I have no issues with, just I prefer their older designs. Unfortunately, some of the best parts of the original RE3 are completely gone, like the clocktower sequence against Nemesis, which has been skimmed over, and the multiple puzzles that were needed to be solved early in the original re3. Enemies like crows, spiders, and even the giant Centipede have completely been removed from the game, and some areas have been removed as well. There were also choices you would make in re3 original that would take you on a different scenario/path that are non-existent in this game.

    However, this game does some things right, like the hospital redesign is by far one of the best areas you will visit in the game. There are multiple areas to explore and feels somewhat similar to the RPD from the 2nd game. Hunters are well designed now, they look more menacing and some players are crawling with heaps of them.

    Nemesis, unfortunately, is a big issue with this game. Instead of being somewhat unpredictable in the original re3, he now is sequenced based, and only really comes out when you are needing to get to somewhere important. Unfortunately, some of his later game boss fights are some of the most frustrating boss fights in any re game. However, NEMESIS is still a really good addition to this game and looks fantastic, however, after a few hrs you will get tired of his antics and realize, he is more of a nuisance than a threat.

    CapCom also missed the mark by not remastering or adding the original RE3 ost as a download, or extra. RE2 has this option, so not being able to play the game with the original ost was extremly disappointing. Overall, the game is still really enjoyable, however, it isn't worth the $89 AUD, or whatever the full price game is worth in your region. If you have already played RE2, I would personally wait until this goes on sale. This was clearly a rushed job, which is a shame, because more time on this game, we could've seen truly something amazing. If you are new to the franchise and looking for a game to pick up, play re2 remakes first, that if we are comparing the two is a far better experience than this reimagining.

For example the removal of the live selection mechanic from the original, a fantastic idea that allowed the original to feel just as large and detailed as it's predecessor ( original Re2) , at the same time allowing it to focus on just one character, being Jill. This feature is completely missing, making this remake feel not only smaller in comparison with the 2019 Re2 Remake but even smaller than the original. Nemesis is underwhelming and not well used, he feels less scary and dominant, not only because he follows you around much less here but also because he is manly used in uninspired scripted events that make his seem less special and powerful than Mr. X from the last remake.

    The graphics look great and the controls are nice, a particular highlight would be the new dodge mechanic, as well some of the remixed music fits in well. Other then those compliments this game feels rushed, uninspired and less scary than the original ( and the other remake) . I wouldn't recommended unless you buy at a very heavy sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Para fazer uma análise imparcial, faço questão de deixar de lado alguns aspectos, como a nostalgia e comparações com o remake de Resident Evil 2. Vamos lá então:

    OBS: Jogo analisado na dificuldade NORMAL. A primeira parte não contém spoilers.

    RE3RE é um jogo de ação com poucos elementos de survival horrror, onde você deve encontrar seu caminho pela cidade, através de hordas de zumbis e mutantes que só tem uma função: te levar pra dar uma volta no colo do capeta.

    O jogo se mostra bastante linear, existindo apenas duas áreas que te obrigam a fazer uma exploração mais detalhada.

    Os inimigos estão mais poderosos, te derrubando ou matando com poucos golpes, porém os protagonistas tem algumas habilidades a mais para lidar com estes, sendo que Jill tem uma esquiva e Carlos apresenta um empurrão/soco para afastar inimigos. Seu arsenal conta com as armas clássicas do original, sem nenhuma surpresa ou modificação surpreendente ao longo do game.

    A história do jogo segue exatamente a mesma linha do original, porém, com maior desenvolvimento dos antagonistas e coadjuvantes, sendo que Carlos, Nicholai e Mikhail sao realmente importantes e mostram um ótimo desenvolvimento no jogo (sério, o Carlos está muito bem desenvolvido, uma ótima surpresa).

    Já o pilar principal do jogo deixa muito a desejar: o vilão principal, Nemesis.
    Nemesis se mostra muito fácil de esquivar, enfrentar e derrotar neste remake, sendo derrotado com o uso de apenas uma granada jogada em seus pés, ou alguns tiros de escopeta melhorada, além de sempre dropar uma melhoria de arma, em qualquer encontro aleatório, banalizando as melhorias e seus combates iniciais. Na primeira área do jogo (a mesma da demo) é quando o vilão pode mais te incomodar, depois disso seus encontros se resumem a uma coisa: SCRIPT.
    As batalhas contra Nemesis são somente isso, seguir o script até derrotar, script que o jogo faz questão de ESFREGAR na sua cara, deixando as lutas com uma sensação de "Meh", em todos os embates, do começo até o último chefe do game. O personagem que antes metia o terror no oco de qualquer um agora apenas se mostra um elemento chato. Um grupo de 6 zumbis numa sala apertada se mostra um perigo maior que Nemesis na sua forma final.

    ******A PARTIR DAQUI A ANÁLISE CONTERÁ SPOILERS******

    A primeira batalha contra o Nemesis é a que ele usa um lança chamas, ela consiste em: Atirar. Só. Sério, se afasta e atiram fim da batalha.
    Na segunda forma do nemesis, que lembra um cachorro (oi? cachorro?), você apenas desvia, derruba ele da sua corrida matinal pra manter a saúde e esfola seu ponto fraco. TRÊS VEZES (sim, são TRÊS batalhas assim, só fazendo isso).
    A batalha final contra o vilão é confusa e desanimadora, consiste em desabilitar o inimigo atirando em pontos fracos, habilitar cenário, de uma forma muito menos divertida que no original.

    Na rejogabilidade, percebe-se que o jogo terá uma pequena vida útil, ao zerar você desbloquea uma loja para comprar equipamentos (sim, tô falando sério, uma loja em RE3), aumentando a rejogabilidade com esses novos equips. Se pensar que a duração da campanha é cerca de 3 horas na primeira vez que se joga, poderiam ter investido um pouco mais.

    E uma reclamação comum dos fãs antigos que acho válido deixar registrado: Algumas áreas vitais do jogo original foram simplesmente DELETADAS dessa versão. Clock Tower, Graveyard, entre outras não existem mais, apenas se resumem à um panfleto jogado no meio dos coletáveis.

    Em suma: Resident Evil 3 Remake parece que foi entregue às pressas, feito com intuito apenas de caçar níqueis, a sensação é de que ele é uma DLC de RE2RE, rápida, confusa e o pior: Completamente esquecível. Não vou mentir, o jogo é bom, tem momentos muito divertidos, como o Last Stand do Carlos no hospital, a relação da Jill com os membros da Umbrella, as batalhas contra zumbis, hunters e etc. O grande problema disso tudo é: BOM, é o suficiente para um remake tao importante como o de RE3?

Nos prometieron a un Nemesis implacable y presente en la mayoría del tiempo, pero solo nos dieron a un nemesis que aparece pocas veces y con una inteligencia muy baja al ser fácil de vencer, lo que no es justificable, pues Mister X de RE2 de 2019 te perseguía todo el tiempo, y hasta el nemesis original del 99 perseguía a la protagonista más veces y de una manera aleatoria. tambien está el problema de lo fácil que es el juego, pues con solo jugarlo una vez ya desbloqueaste muchos logros sin importar el rango, no tiene la rejugabilidad que tiene el original y su predecesor del 2019, todo es fácil en este juego y no hay ningún enemigo que represente una amenaza , ni el propio nemesis. lo que es grave es la perdida de la escensia, pues la munición es muy abundante y solo hay 2 puzzles en todo el juego que son muy faciles, lo que no pasaba en el original ni en la franquicia. lo que debo reconocer es lo bien que eligieron a los responsables de dar su apariencia a los personajes, así como a sus actores de voz y de captura de movimiento. lo que más me parece triste es el desarrollo del juego, hecho a las prisas de manera notable, y con la reciente noticia de que ya no habra contenido extra para este juego demuestra el poco interés de Capcom en hacer juegos de calidad solo para obtener dinero, ya que todo lo justifican con la excusa de tener REsistance, pero el multijugador aparte del juego no justifica la manera en la que este juego esta pobremente construido y como parece que este juego solo es para emocionar a los fans y hacerlos gastar su dinero. Sin importar que es un remake o no, este juego no es lo que fue prometido y no es lo que un juego de la franquicia debe ser. En pocas palabras, este juego fue uno que en apariencia, mecánicas y doblaje es lo único que realmente brilla, pero deja mucho que desear. A pesar deque el original es mi favorito, definitivamente yo no recomiendo este juego, me quedo con el original. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enjoyable...but disappointing.
    Is it as good as RE2 Remake? No. Sadly it is not. Resident Evil 3 is missing the two biggest factors of the Original, Its heart and its soul!
    Resident Evil 3 has awesome Graphics, and it almost looks like next gen. But The Villain, Nemesis, is the most annoying villain after the Calypso Twins in Borderlands 3. His Appearances and Fights were predictable! The opening is well done and creepy. They humiliated Jill by changing her iconic outfit. I do liked Carlos' quotes. In Overall, this feels like a DLC for RE2 Remake, and is not worth 60$.

    Verdict; RE3 Remake is disappointing, but it is enjoyable too. I'd say get it for 30 dollars and if you are a super fan get it for 40.

    This was the first new release of 2020 I played through (I'll get to Doom Eternal some day) and it was definitely a good one.

    Resident Evil 3 is, more or less, all I expected it to be. That's not a bad thing at all, many games fail to even meet the decent expectations that are set for them. Anyway, just like last years Resident Evil 2, it's a third person survival horror game with a short campaign but one that encourages you to play through it several times.

    This time around, the horror takes a big back seat for the sake of action which is fitting considering the original Resident Evil 3 did the same thing. This has it's pros and cons. While I would say this game is more fun to play with no additions like more frequent action as well as the satisfying dodge move, it's definitely not of a higher quality than Resi 2. I enjoy both very much but for different reasons and I'd say the reasons I enjoy Resi 2 matter just a bit more.

    The campaign is stripped down to give us one plotline this time, switching between characters at certain points instead of giving us two different campaigns... or, an inconsistent half assed two different campaigns in the case of the Resi 2 remake. For that very reason, I'm okay with there only being one campaign again. My biggest complaint with Resi 2 was the plot inconsistency between both campaigns, there is no way both campaigns can be canon simultaneously so this game eliminates that issue, even if it takes the easy way out.

    The game also felt a bit shorter than Resi 2. I started playing Resident Evil 3 the exact minute it was released, 12 o'clock midnight on April 3rd and I ended up finishing the game by 6:30 in the morning the same day. I totaled in about 5 hours of gameplay. For a first playthrough, I'd say that's short.

    The sections where you play as Carlos as opposed to Jill also fell short for me. There's a specific section in the game where you're forced to fight a horde of zombies for a few minutes which felt totally tacked on and out of place, it really really turned me off but it didn't last super long so ultimately, it didn't ruin the whole experience. It just felt so out of place, it only happens one time, (thank god) so it's without a doubt just gonna be remembered as that weird, out of place, forced action sequence as well as the worst part of the game.

    Anyway, I still had fun, enough to beat the whole game in one sitting from midnight until dawn. I've never done that for any game launch before and I did not expect this game to be the one I did it with first. The game was much less scary this time around and the story isn't as memorable but if you liked Resi 2 and want some more of that game, here you go.

    Let's hope the pandemic of the real world doesn't end up looking like Raccoon City.
    I beat this game in April of 2020.

    Though it could be a fun couple hours of gameplay, that’s all it is. Very short game with a lot of cut content from the original. Also cutting iconic scenes such as Nemesis killing Brad and Nemesis jumping through the window in the Police Station. The game feels like a DLC and was overpriced for the content.

    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.
