So they took their time with RE2 and RE4, but RE3 remake felt so rushed… Still hoping for a Code Veronica remake.

RE3 remake felt like it could’ve been DLC. It deserved the same care they gave the others; the original was a fan favorite.

Kinda fitting since OG RE3 started out as a side project.

But it became so much more than that… the final game deserved better.

Honestly, original RE3 had some DLC vibes too. :joy:

I feel like they focused too much on that multiplayer mode, thinking it would be a hit. But no one cared about it.

Actually, that multiplayer mode was meant to be separate. They only included it because RE3 was so short and they needed to justify the price.

Resistance is pretty much forgotten now. They really should’ve focused on making the single-player RE3 more complete.

@Kelby
The scripted Nemesis scenes were such a letdown. Took away the whole suspense of being stalked by this unstoppable monster.

@Kelby
Kind of funny when you consider the original RE3’s history!

@Kelby
Gotta say, Jill still looked amazing though.

Is that her high internal temperature? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Wish they’d given it more time! Everything was there but it was just way too short.

Guess rushing RE3 remake was an homage to how they rushed the original!

Funny how the one RE game that puts Jill front and center ends up short-changed.

@Aris
Guess a Jill sandwich never gets much meat. :laughing:

To be fair, Mikami hasn’t worked at Capcom in years. Can’t blame him for RE3’s remake.

Am I the only one who actually liked RE3 remake?
