Linear streets are lined with car wreckage to funnel you - and zombies - into tight corridors to try and force conflict. While the Raccoon City Police Department made for a nuanced and tight Metroidvania affair filled with progressively unlockable doors and weapons, Jill feels artificially hemmed in even though she spends most of the first half of the game outside. Almost everything on show, while polished and mostly enjoyable, has been seen before. The biggest problem is that RE3 doesn’t really do anything new. The sound design was impeccable and the cutscenes were dazzling.Īll of that is true here. The lighting offered just the right amount of claustrophobic gloom mixed with blindingly bright torchlight to really make the pale, distorted faces of the zombies that much worse. And why wouldn’t it? Resident Evil 2 looked lovely, in a gory, horrific way. It’s clear from the outset that Capcom really wanted to make use of its former assets. In between, you’ll be issuing bullet-shaped cease and desist notices to the meandering corpses, and retreading much of the same ground covered in the previous remake. "Oh, hey - you've got something on your face."Īs Jill, your job is to stay one step ahead of the monstrosity stalking you - one might call it your “Nemesis” - and get out of the city. Just be glad that in these more enlightened times Capcom made the right decision to update her wardrobe, although of course not everyone is pleased. Why is it after her? How does it know where she lives? Don’t struggle too hard with these questions. A huge and incredibly persistent monster has tracked her down to her apartment, leading Jill to discover a whole heap of bad stuff about Umbrella Corps - the kind of intel she has clearly been trying and failing to work out on her own, judging by her homemade crime pinboard. This isn’t something she willingly signed up for, however. Right?īoth prequel and sequel in terms of its timeline (to say more would spoil minor plot twists), it’s down to one-woman powerhouse, S.T.A.R.S agent and original game protagonist Jill Valentine to take control of the situation.
And what better way to avoid thinking about a pandemic than playing a game about a pandemic.
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was considered to be a decent follow-up to the second game back in 1999, and Capcom seemed to have worked out a winning formula after last year’s previous remake, so it makes sense that they’d want to ride the nostalgia wagon all the way to Cashville. "Oh, hey - you've got something in your hair."
