Nemesis Comin’ For You! – Resident Evil 3 Remake Review

The Resident Evil series has been on a roll over its last few installments. It was almost dead in the water after the universally panned 6, but stepping in the right direction with the Revelation titles, the surprise hit of 7, and the beloved remake of 2, Capcom seems to have figured out how to make a Resident Evil game fun and exciting again. Does this new installment continue the trend, or is this new REmake dead on arrival. Let’s find out in Resident Evil 3 Remake.

Resident Evil 3 takes place just before and during the events of Resident Evil 2. Jill Valentine has been hard at work trying to expose the Umbrella Corporation after the mansion incident of RE1. As the city begins to fall into chaos with the outbreak of the T-virus, Jill is attacked by the Nemesis, thus beginning decent into a hellish night. This game starts off with a bang, playing around with a haunting first-person view and then a harrowing action sequence to introducing your stalker for the entire game, the Nemesis. From start to finish, this game is gorgeous. While some fans of the first remake aren’t a fan of Jill’s new makeover, I think her new look fits her well, as well as her “over this sh*t” attitude dealing with Nemesis. Her quips are never over the top and come off pretty well written. Carlos, the Umbrella mercenary, looks good as well. It took me some time to get used to his wild mane but damn if Capcom’s engine doesn’t make hair look real.

Like the original 3 from 2, the remake does focus a lot…
