To be fair in this case RE3 remake is the sequel thag goes smaller and loses the charm of the original (cut content, Nemesis not having time nor space to chase / stalk you properly etc).
@@mokubakaiba1751 OG Nemesis was a professional wrestler who waddled around chasing you while you had more problems dealing with the camera and forced point of views.
Shinzero02 well, actually if you use something like a trainer to go through walls and go to the RPD (with Jill) you can see Nemesis with the thing that covers his face, usually when there’s a T pose character in certain areas(a similar thing happend with Ada and the dogs in Re2R) it means that there’s gonna be a cinematic, so, I guess they changed everything at a late stage or something, because there’s even a concept art with nemesis holding a Minigun and missing the upper half of his trenchcoat
It does feel like there's a cut section of the city. I don't think it was lazy so much as it seems like they were forced to either remove an area or didn't have the time to finish an area. Either that or the Power Plant area and it's drain deimos enemies were incompatible (RE Engine problems?) with zombies and Nemesis being active. That whole section is specifically separated from every other enemy type and Nemesis only reappeared once it dealt with. I have my suspicions about there being RE Engine limitations though. All the non-zombie type enemies are extremely limited and isolated to specific areas that prevent them from even being able to be lured into any other area. In both RE2 and RE3 there aren't that many lickers, dogs, Hunters or G-mutations. I think RE3 has 2 dogs total and 1-2 lickers. RE2 had maybe 2-3x that. Even Devil May Cry 5 didn't really flood the screen with varied enemy types like previous games in that franchise did.
@@shinzero0271 I don't think anything was really cut since people have gone out of bounds all over the game, and you don't see anything that looked remotely playable. What really happened was the game was outsourced, and developed at the same time as RE2. They never intended Nemesis to be a roaming monster but after seeing how popular Mr. X was in the RE2 remake they had barely enough time to add a bit of roaming to him at the start of the game. They had to give him a dumb "web swing" teleport though because the map design was so linear.
@@Sifer2 While it was outsourced, it was outsourced to a team Capcom has worked with before and helped found and included former Capcom staff. Capcom uses subsidiaries and secondary teams all the time. Plus not all cut areas leave blatant map fragments for noclip explorers to find. From what I've been told, there are some signs that there was additional RPD content, and some of the noclip exploration does show areas that just abruptly dead end like the connection was removed and the general path was blocked. I will say that I preferred the backtracking in RE3re to RE2re. It felt more natural for Jill to have to go somewhere and then take detours to get back, then have to repeat that with a different detour once her initial plans for escape were shot to hell. With Leon and Claire I kinda felt like the game was just stalling, forcing you to run various paths through the same area while searching for parts that were in some seriously crazy locations that made no sense in order to open doors. Add in having to abort some paths in order to avoid a 'roaming' Mr. X, who also had scripted appearances as well as random offscreen teleports, or having a bookcase fall over and block a door and it didn't feel natural so much as 'oh look another forced obstacle'. Hell, my first playthrough of RE2re took extra long because I was looking for a key that I couldn't obtain on that character at all and there was no actual indication of that. The game had already ingrained a desire for me to find keys just to speed up my travel through the station and I ended up wasting more time. I know some people call it lazy design but the sheer amount of minute detail, references to other Capcom games, and love for the franchise that we did get, really shows that at the very least, the developers were putting in some serious effort. Whether there were time and/or budget constraints that put a damper on things or if the game's director had a vision that the story should play out like a movie That is even how the original RE3 got made. It was one of several smaller projects being worked by side teams and was chosen as an epilogue to the Raccoon City saga on the PS1. I actually like the "web swing" teleport as that, along with Nemesis parasite zombies falling from the roofs (more often on harder difficulties), makes it seem like Nemesis primarily tracks Jill from rooftops in the early game. I'm surprised they didn't use that. Add in his rocket-catching, and Wesker-dodge capabilities that you really only see on secondary playthroughs and it really seems like first-stage Nemesis was intended to do more. Plus, I don't really see Nemesis intended as a roamer like Mr. X was. He has a clear-cut mission to eliminate STARS members while Mr. X was a more general 'kill all the witnesses and people who can tie this to Umbrella' monster.
yeah why did they remove brad's death scene? to make us feel slightly bad when he showed what little humanity he had left when he attacks marvin? it would've been a brutal way introduce nemesis to new players, and a good tribute to us old fans
StopFlaggingVideos that part annoys me, why Capcom gives priority to a Brad who says a cheap "sorry", than an introduction of nemesis killing a member of the STARS without compassion. And the worst part is seeing how people love the new Brad for that ridiculous scene. Also, they take down other great moments like Nemesis destroying the rescue helicopter or the end with a poor ciematic of racoon city destruction. This game is a total fail, doesn't deserve to call itself a re3 remake, remastered or reimagined.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon true, but it still seems like it was cheapened. you get a simple little escape intro that is 0 difficulty, you just have to hold forward. i still feel the original had the best introduction to nemesis. you hear about it from your friend, who looks fucked up and scared, and later you meet that same friend even more fucked up, and nemesis mutilates him in front of you and charges you. that's a great intro to nemesis
In my opinion, the success of Nemesis in original RE3 back in 1999 is that Nemesis is a true stalker you can’t tell when he will show and the options make it a lot of threat besides his terrifying design unlike Mr.x back in 1998 totally scripted encounters like 2020’s Nemesis.
My list of what Capcom should focus on for RE after 8 comes out: 1. RE3 Remake: Director's Cut with 1-2 hours of extra content 2. New RE game in the 2R/3R style (reboot acceptable) 3. A second RE1 remake in the 2R/3R style (if they really want to) *massive gap* 9743. RE4 Remake Unfortunately, I get the feeling Capcom's priority list is exactly the opposite of mine :(
i really enjoyed this game but it also has clear issues when i first encountered nemesis and saw he sprinted towards me i shat my pants but then i found a grenade. and then i threw the grenade. at this moment i realised that as long as you have a grenade on you he is just a pushover and there are more then enough grenades
Nemesis was a great threat in his humanoid form, between the moment you restore the power plant and reach the subway where his appearence is not scripted. But overall, Mr X put much pressure on us that nemesis did.
mr x felt like he was always there chasing you and hearing those footsteps come towards you is pretty nerve wrecking the first time through. but after many runs hes just a joke. still love him tho
@@112523 it depends where you encounter him, in narrow corridor he is a pain in the ass. And you don't have that "perfect dodge move" which make kinda difficult to aim and shoot his head to stop him.
I’ve never agreed with the excuse that “well of course RE3 remake is action focused, so was the original!” This is very different. Even the original game contained elements of the survival horror genre and was largely still a game of survival. RE3 remake felt like a deliberate attempt to pivot back to the RE6 formula but dress it up in RE3 so people didn’t get too mad.
And this doesn't? I mean you are rummaging through inventory space and navigating tight spaces....is it the lack of actual puzzles? That's more logic than survival imo.
Javier Moya if you never played the original RE3 then I don’t really expect you to understand. Nevertheless, the remake of RE3 has more in common with RE6 than it does RE3
@@LateNightHalo fair enough. I havent played the original. I own the remake of the first and second, and everyone loves the second. At face value the new third just hadn't hit me like a deer in the road that alot of others felt.
Javier Moya When did you actually pick up your first RE game and what was it, cause that usually accounts for the confusion about the slop of a mess this game turned out to be, both as an RE title and contending as a remake
Nah, the original RE3 gave you too many supplies (heals and gunpowders to create Freeze Rounds) that supplies conservation was never really a concern, even if you chose to fight Nemesis in most encounters. The original was probably less action-focused, but only a bit slightly.
I feel like the designers kind of put themselves into a pickle here. They had to make nemesis more dangerous than Mr. X, but like you said he’s so dangerous that it’s always clear he’s priority 1 in terms of danger. And his presence makes the game simpler and thus less stressful, which is probably the opposite of what the designers wanted
@@Casey-dy2oo mate, I think that's actually the problem, people were supposed to play hardcore from the start and skip standard. Imagine you do standard and then hardcore on REmake 2 and then you start REmake 3 on standard instead of hardcore. That is totally going to scale down the difficulty way too much and is going to make your skills overpass the game settings. That and the fact that REmake 3's hardcore is easier than REmake 2's hardcore, which again, going through standard on REmake 3 as your first playthrough takes too much away from the experience.
Good video! R3make was enjoyable enough, but I think they really dropped the ball with Nemesis. After finishing the remake, I went back and played through all of the original RE3 Nemesis. And he feels like much more of a fully realized stalking threat in that. I suspect maybe they didn't want to repeat the Mr X gameplay so soon and have it potentially feel uninspired. Still, I wish it had been something different than what it was.
djbeema yeah, I feel Re3R can get shit on to much but it still missed some big opportunities. I wanted mercenaries, a expanded clock tower and graveyard segment of the game, and a better nemesis. on nightmare and inferno he’s actually tough and kinda scary, but he still lacks the randomness and stalker behavior of the original.
djbeema yeah I totally agree crap 💩 com totally shit the bed on this one and in my opinion and tasted fucked my favorite RE title out of them all in doing so 1999 nemesis is still far definite superior and still has way more screen time in humanoid form And horror death scenes.
Hamish, please plug the podcast more man! It’s honestly a huge highlight when I listen to you and Nico, and deserves so much more credit than you give in the videos. Fantastic video as always! Keep it up
They dropped the ball so hard on nemesis. Still can't believe they failed such a simple concept. Made it an onrails game with occasional free roam in extremely linear areas. It felt like an arcade version of a real game.
I replayed RE2 Remake on hardcore after beating RE3 Remake on Nightmare and Mr. X is sooo much easier to deal with compared to Nemesis. I agree that on a first playthrough, Mr. X enforces more suspense because you do not have a clear idea of where to go and you are backtracking unnecessarily or escaping into rooms where you had no idea lickers would spawn in, but second playthrough onwards you can easily avoid him and his segments feel very short when you know where to take all the key items. He really only pursues you in 2 events inside the police station and both take place a few key items away from escaping to the parking lot. Nemesis on the other hand is entirely reaction and skill based, regardless of your playthrough, because you are forced to engage him. Whether you run or fight, you have to be alert of his varied moveset and the presence of other enemies. If in your 3rd playthrough you managed to run from the toy store to the gate by only having to dodge a tendril pull, it might not be the same in your 4th playthrough if he decides to Sprint an throw a punch. In that sense I feel Nemesis offers more challenging replayability than Mr. X, especially in the harder difficulties which I feel most of the people criticizing haven't even played.
That's true, RE3 is not challenging at all if you start the game on standard, which in case you did, it's going to ruin the entire experience for you, both in your first and future playthroughs due to standard and hardcore having the same enemy-item placement. Now, if you start from hardcore and then go to nightmare, things are going to be way more challenging and different in both playthroughs.
@@DynamicDanny1996 I do not understand why some people that had already played RE2 Remake selected Standard difficulty as their first playthrough. RE3 is easier by default cuz you already have that muscle memory from RE2. Start in hardcore to immediately unlock Nightmare which is a waaaay better experience. Imagine playing standard first playthrough and then hardcore second playthrough, with the only difference being the damage output of enemies... People get bored before even getting to the unlockable difficulties. Standard is good for people completely new to the series.
RE3 Nemesis 1999 handled Nemesis way better. He's a real threat and the rewards for defeating him are great. RE3 Remake Nemesis is a complete neutered joke. He's literally defeated by a book shelf at the beginning lmao. Even Resident Evil Apocalypse Nemesis is laughing at Remake Nemesis.
Except that the remake Nemesis works pretty much the same way the original did. He only comes after you at certain points in the game, and if you kill him and get far enough away before he gets back up, he stays down until the next point in the story where he comes after you. If you don't kill him, he pursues you relentlessly. The only difference is that the sections of the story wherein he comes after you are fewer and closer together in the remake. Even the rewards are the same; a few upgrades for your starter pistol that make it almost as good as a magnum, then ammo and healing items for the rest.
@@josh-oo Except Nemesis in the Remake can get downed with a single freaking grenade in his first form. That's not threatening or intimidating, its laughable. Original Nemesis took so much damage in every non-boss encounter that it made you seriously consider whether you should run away but have him constantly pursue you to conserve your ammo, or down him to give yourself a break but risk having little ammunition left.
RE asked on Twitter asked what they could do to improve both RE3 and Resistance and that whole thread was basically we want an improved RE3 and dlc and the areas that were gone. However there were some unique ideas thrown out. For instance @NoriyukiWorks83 posted a live selection option idea that depending on your actions would change the location from remake locations vs original locations and storyline a bit as well as ending. I couldn't find his but I did share it his image map he posted at twitter.com/KafkaKefkaKoff/status/1250463855219744769?s=09. There were also some other great gameplay suggestions like bring back Mercenaries as well and more costumes. I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are. Also I heard RE3 has more positive reviews when you put it on harder difficulties.
I'd say the main campaign works but could use an expanded area for stage 1 Nemesis to chase you when he's in his Spider-Man mode. Maybe include a side area that isn't important to the plot but offers a decent award for completing. A Nikolai DLC scenario showing what he was up to while offscreen could also be used to showcase some removed areas as it never really made sense for Jill to be in some of the areas she went to in the original. Having Nikolai be forced to deal with puzzles because he's breaking into the personal stashes of various Umbrella scientists will assassinating some of them and picking up resources for his big payday would work wonders. Costumes and such are a definite plus. I'd definitely like a more practical version of the Revelations outfit for this new Jill and to see what they'd come up with for an RE5 'Super' Jill in this design. Not to mention seeing a modern take on Regina from Dino Crisis as an alternate costume would be great. I'm not really sure if Mercenaries would actually work in this game engine. The holdout in the Hospital really seemed like a test of the RE4/5 style Mercenaries modes and it was pretty bad in terms of enemy spawning. As a whole, I don't the RE Engine is good for having a large number of active enemies on screen at once. Even the main game's large amount of zombies had most of them in dormant states until events 'activated' them.
it straight up pisses me off the speed at which jill runs, like, you've got this titan chasing you that you know can and will kill you, and she just jogs like she's late for her job or something, it's infurating
If it helps you feel better, Jill actually runs noticeably faster than Claire and Leon do. This was intentionally done to make REmake 3's action feel better to play. Must be that STARS training!
If you have a dude that will follow you to the end of the earth, sprinting for a minute and getting tired is not going to help you, conserving stamina is way smarter.
Just finished it today, in three sittings. 5 hours and 12 minutes, 2 deaths and 20 saves in total. I do like the game its brilliant and kept me involved until the hospital part and I thought it grated on. But really really really short
Love the video. But you actually can dodge all attacks if you get stuck in a loop of attacks he does you can spam button mash your buttons and Jill will recover alot faster to a point depending on the difficulty your playing on
Re3 was the first action horror game I ever played and enjoyed. I liked it so much, I tracked down the older game, which I loved too, and literally every other mainline resident evil game including the outbreak, chronicles and dead aim spinoffs.
Having no experience with the original RE3, the handling of Nemesis didn't actually bother me. If anything, it just made me curious since I knew so many people were eager for this remake because of how Mr. X had been handled. However, I don't feel like such a character would have worked as well here without making major modifications to the mechanics. Which, sadly, kind of stands with my feelings on the game as a whole. RE2 wasn't really as big of an action game, which I think is why I enjoyed it as much. The mechanics seemed perfectly balanced with the sort of experience they were going for. RE3, on the other hand, was very much an action game, even though the mechanics were designed to encourage ammo conservation and alternate options. The first area of RE3 allows for some of that play style up until Nemesis shows up, and once that happened everything that made RE2 great begins to fall away. A lot of the boss fights here feel far more tedious, absorbing more bullets than I felt like they had in RE2, while new additions like Hunters were far too capable of one-hit kills despite eating bullets like they were breakfast cereal. In the end it was still a fun game, but it felt like a mod or expansion whose vision was forced onto mechanics that were designed to deliver a different kind of experience. As a result, I'm now feeling apprehensive about rumors of a Resident Evil 4 remake, particularly since that game remains as solid as it had on release.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 I have to disagree. RE2 Remake's 'survival horror' primarily came from forcing you to loop the same area repeatedly to solve some of the most inane 'puzzles' while Mr. X wandered the area attracted to the sounds (and occasionally teleporting closer to you when you got too far from him) like some sort of super-licker. If you watch speed runs, he's really predictable. For RE3 Remake, Jill's journey runs like aa film to the point where it would've been the best Resident Evil movie made if it wasn't a game. The pacing in particular is fast, with slowdown only when switching to Carlos' sections. While people complain about what was removed, her journey actually makes sense now. The entire time, she's trying to get out of the city and her goal only changes once she finds out there is a cure and an incoming nuke will kill whoever is left alive. Her point of view doesn't have the time to waste on trying to figure out what Nikolai and the other mercenaries are up to until they directly impede her means of escape. Where the original game kinda goes into side tangents like following Nikolai's string of assassinations of Umbrella scientists, a failed attempt at extraction involving the clocktower, and a random giant worm boss in a graveyard where the true boss is the camera angle, Jill's journey really doesn't need that. It should definitely be included in something like a Nikolai scenario. Having a Nikolai scenario added in general could show all the missing areas, as late game we do see a message he wrote saying he was all over the city and in some of the removed areas. It even mentions him going to the University, which is the location of a scenario in Resident Evil: Outbreak that Nikolai appears in. That University is home to a rogue Umbrella scientist who built his own, unique, Tyrant based on the process that made the original rather than simply being a clone like Mr. X and the other T-103 series.
@@shinzero0271 in re2 you feel tension but in the beginning when you know nothing mr x is anything but predictable when you try to find which rooms he can follow you. And you feel pressed in some situation when you don't know where you will find ammo etc. To do a speedrun you either need to see a youtube from someone who played it a few times or play it yourself to figure out the tricks to spare ammo and time. So all in all re2 remake did a good job at being survival horror. Re3 remake is more action based but it doesn't do a very good job at it since it doesn't feel like a complete action experience. It is going too fast and the story isn't very compelling. Plus I wasn't feeling much sympathy for jill like I did with leon and claire. And if I didn't know some things about the first game I would be a bit lost about the story. Now I haven't played the original game to know about the comparisons to puzzles et. But I have played re4 and I can see the action and story were better there.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 I think the difference is the original itself wasn't even intended to be a standalone game. The story was never 'good' and even with the content that was removed for the remake, it was still extremely short compared to 2. Again, 'puzzles' padded out the length and between Nemesis and static camera angles, the horror mostly came from what was offscreen and could be headed toward you, with only sound cues warning you. RE3 was meant to be a sidestory to 2 and only got turned into a full game after Capcom made the decision to finish the Raccoon City saga on PS1 rather than extending it to the next generation. They closed the Raccoon City saga with RE3 by nuking the city after establishing that all of the surviving heroes from the franchise escaped. Technically, Code Veronica (or an early version of Code Veronica) should've been RE3. The original RE3 was pretty much the same experience only with more of the classic RE style 'puzzles', more Umbrella mercenaries, a few more locations (I remember a park, some side streets, an expanded waste disposal facility that had signs of conflict between the US Military and several other Mr. X-type Tyrants that would later be expanded upon in other games featuring this time period in the franchise, a graveyard boss that was more frustrating than satisfying, some extra mercenary encounters , and more places where Nemesis just freely runs at you trying to punch you to death/shoot you with rockets. The game's path gets altered by some decisions made concerning how you deal with forced Nemesis encounters and there's a larger enemy variety (even though they're still limited to 1-2 rooms a piece per new type). I do agree that this game is more action oriented than 2, just like the original was. Jill's ability to dodge is a pretty big gamechanger. I think the biggest different in term of the narrative and gameplay is that Jill had already done the survival horror experience in RE1. She's seen the zombies, seen bioweapons like Hunters, Chimera and a Tyrant, and already knows what it takes to survive. She knew what to expect and the only real outlier at that point is Nemesis, which is shown to be a durable threat that is constantly becoming even more threatening. Even the giant worm boss that the remake of 3 excludes is something that pales in comparison to the giant snake, spiders, and man-eating plant from her experience in the mansion. Both the original and remake essentially bypass the actual horror aspect by making it so that Jill is already capable and past the "this can't be happening" stage that Claire and Leon faced early RE2. Jill's overall goal is just to get out the city. Leon and Claire go headlong into the horror from the start, both being outsiders to the city and not knowing what to expect before being separated and winding up in the RPD and later Umbrella labs. As for RE4... well with the raccoon saga over and zombies hitting a media lull, I don't blame them for going more towards action-horror. Keep in mind, Devil May Cry spawned from an early RE4 design, and then there was that prototype RE4 that leaked and involved possession or something in what looked to be another mansion before they ended up with the Los Plagas setting/storyline. RE5 just seemed like a natural evolution of the escalation in bioterrorism. I think they tried more for body-horror when it came to enemy design but the co-op gameplay really removed the horror aspect entirely. RE6 though... I can't really explain RE6. It just seemed like nostalgia, action scenes involving prior protagonists, a sad lack of Jill, and way too many QTEs. The only thing I could think of after playing RE6 was that they basically turned the main campaign into little more than the Mercenaries mini-game with boss fight set-pieces.
@@shinzero0271 no I think it makes sense narratively to be more action based since jill faced zombies in re1 and is more experienced. Just like leon who had little training than in re2 and was kicking ass left and right in re4. But in re3 even some of stuff like dodging make sense it is not a good action game in some areas. Length is one of them that re2 managed to make it less apparent with the 2nd run and play as either or claire at the 1st run. But the story even if it had some great moments if felt kinda flat. There are a lot of opinions on the why but smt about all the combination of what they did just made the experience less enjoyable. The what could have been changed is analyzed to death by way too many people to get into. For me I think the main thing is you wanted to see leon and claire get out of the danger but not so much with jill. You like carlos but jill is less friendly to the audience. The new players of re like me don't really like her and a good chunk of the older players don't like her changes from the original game.
It's clear from the get go that Nemesis is much worse than Mr X in a good way. All you have to do is give him more health (1 grenade is ridiculous) and give him Free roam and he becomes a nightmare
The way you talk about how the "omnipresent juggernaut" falls apart in an actual boss fight reminds me of the TTRPG wisdom "if you stat it, they will kill it." I guess in this case, it's "if you tell them to kill it, it can die."
I dunno, having Nemesis wait outside the toy shop for you to exit it is pretty terrifying. You can see him staring at you through the store window, just waiting to try to murder you. I think the original Mega Man display there is what he's truly wary of. Play on nightmare or inferno mode. When Nemesis is acting like Spider-Man in the city, he's extremely terrorizing. You can't even fully rely on the infinite rocket launcher because he can catch rockets and throw them aside or do a Wesker-style dodge to avoid the explosion entirely. I haven't actually tested if he does the same on normal but I think it's telling that they basically removed the one weakness every other Tyrant seems to have. Grenades are basically the only thing to give him serious pause at that point. Actually, Inferno mode in general puts the horror in this game's survival horror. Even the Nemesis-infected zombies become a viable threat there.
yeah, Nemesis went easy on her, he could've killed her countless times when he had her grabbed from the head, like at the very first time he appears, it felt like he was just playing with her, rather than killing on sight
Well duh, she never visits the graveyard. Seriously though, you do realize Jill gets outright murdered by Nemesis if you fail the handful of QTEs or running away, right? She's got plot armor preventing Nemesis from instakilling her with no chance to fight back, like almost every game protagonist with a health bar. Don't drive the car off the edge? She gets a tentacle through the face. Don't run away, in the burning apartment hallway? Smashed by the chunk of of ceiling he's holding. Don't crawl away when his second form's tentacle has you? Pulled into flames. The game constantly has Jill in grave danger. She's just got protagonist power. Hell, even Nikolai can outright murder her and Carlos if you take too long to shoot him at the end. Not to mention her fall from the side of the building's window-washing elevator-thing should've probably crippled her to the point of not being able to avoid the thing falling on her right after. The end to the rocket launcher sequence should've actually killed Jill. She had a rocket explode right next to her, and should've had massive internal damage from the pressure wave alone. The drain deimos' implant, being thrown by Nemesis's tentacle from the top of the facility to the bottom, the direct injection of a good amount of T-virus... yeah Nemesis was constantly a threat to her. The biggest problem with the experience change between the original RE2 and 3 is that using the RE4 style camera view and control system and moving away from static camera angles changes everything. Being able to freely aim, freely dodge, and exploit enemy movements is something that basically kills most of what made RE2 and 3 feel threatening. RE2 remake made up for it by being nearly claustrophobic and including excellent sound design that upped your anticipation whenever Mr. X was stomping around. Even then, the scariest moments are caused by being forced to solve inane and out-of-place puzzles while playing keep away with a Tyrant in a trenchcoat. Once you get out of the RPD, it really stops becoming scary and the feeling of danger decreases drastically. RE3 has more open environments that I think really detract from that same atmosphere RE2's remake had. Though, play the game on inferno. Jill is in grave danger the entire time. Everything can murder her. Nemesis sneezing in her general direction has a chance of murdering her.
If you hear Mr. X in the area and he hasn't already locked onto the sounds you made via shooting/running around, he will basically just wander aimlessly in your general area with a high chance of not even finding you unless you do something that triggers one of his scripted appearances. Nemesis somehow always knows where Jill is. I kinda got the impression that all those Nemesis-infected zombies that randomly drop from the sky are being used as a sort of sentry system by Nemesis to track Jill from the rooftops. Whenever he spider-man leaps away, he's probably nabbing zombies to place Nemesis parasites on so they can just scan the cit for S.T.A.R.S members.
@@shinzero0271 theres only a few times that he is unavoidable: picking up the bookcase tool,activating the bookcase and after picking up the garage key card.....Nemesis is just scripted events for the most part
@@PlanetNateGaming Same with Mr. X. The difference being that he wanders, responds to noise like a Licker, and has several triggers that make him teleport closer to the player as well as event triggers that ensure that he'll be headed to the player after certain player actions. The map design with everything being interconnected makes him seem more dynamic than he actually is. Once you're out of the RPD area, he just becomes scripted events.
Hey there!

Would you mind telling me what area your accent belongs to, just out of curiosity? I can tell it's European English, but not much more lol
@@obama_yo_mama4653 I see, thanks! I'm having a really hard time recognizing Scottish vs Irish vs Cockney, and I often get confused! Have a good one mate!
I too agree. I started REmake 3 on hardcore and turned the HUD off, went like this through hardcore and all the way to inferno with no special items. It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
RE7 never felt like a genuine RE game for me. It was too different in its form and story, and the characters I was familiar with were not there. Plus it is (as of now) a one-time first-person experience in the RE saga. But its a good game on its own merit. I felt similarly about RE4 when it came out. That one was too different than the previous ones. Plus it started that awful string of RE action games (5 and 6). GTA has done it better (the transition to 3d I mean). I may be narrow-minded, but I think that Raccoon City (or its outskirts) is the only place where this story should play out. Tank controls, third or first person - doesn't matter now, but the place itself is the key. Too bad they blew it away 20 years ago and still don't retcon it to existence.
@Curly Que yes, that is a good point. With RE7, Capcom has shown its acknowledgment of the fact that this franchise was in need of returning to its survival horror roots. But now, with r3make, they are about to jump the shark once again. The original trilogy, the Raccoon City incident, has been remade. RE3 is, IMO, one step away from being an action-oriented game like RE5 and RE6. So, the circle starts anew. PS the original Nemesis is better, appearance-wise. They should've made his like the original one in r3make.
Alibek Zhussip I honestly don’t mind how different RE7 was, and as you said 5 nor 6 were well recieved by fans and the story has gotten all over the place. Imo getting away and starting something fresh that had little to do with Umbrella was a good move for the franchise in general so it could have more room to breath, same with 4 being years after the original games. RE7 still is paced like RE, and just like the older RE games were inspired by movies like George A. Romero, the Terminator, etc, RE7 takes the grind house approach. Plus, Resident Evil 1 was initially gonna be 1st person so I don’t mind it. Yeah, Raccoon City is great, but we technically have 2,3, their remakes, and the Outbreak games set in Raccoon. I don’t know how much more you could do with that setting. To me, just because a part of the series has differences from the predecessors doesn’t mean it’s not the same game series, Metal Gear is a prime example.
@@charlestonobryant807 valid points, although I can't argue about Metal Gear, still hasn't played a single one:) Regarding Raccoon City - I think it's just me being protective about old school:)
This reminds me of Evil Within and Evil Within 2. The first one was great with a not so great ending(very similar to RE4s ending military island) but the second one was just bad and seemingly had no passion put into it. It was just made by people who were told do this and they did the bare minimum they needed to do to meet that demand.
@@Gruntvc You're crazy if you don't think any passion and skill went into RE3R. Regardless of if you think it compares well to RE2R or not, it's a very polished game with tons of detail.
Funny because I love EW2 (not like it's perfect but I liked a lot) while I didn't like EW1 at all. The first one is buch of different ideas throw together that really doesn't work well for me and some glaring design issues. EW2 at least had some focus and is more coherent.
It’s interesting because no matter how many mixed feelings I hear on this game, I still long to play it before the year’s end. The atmosphere, cut content from the original and Nemmy’s predictability sure do sting, but the honey taste of all that I see in regards to it’s length and digest-ability are far too sweet for me to pass up. Great write-up on this one Hamish, never have I been more salivating for such a middling game!
Mate, I would suggest you to start the game in hardcore since standard it's really really easy, so, yeah, do yourself a favor and start with hardcore. Turn off the HUD for the ultimate experience.
I know I'm 11 months late but I want to echo that RE3make is a wonderful little game. Nothing that's in the game is actually bad or dysfunctional -- people are just disappointed by its missed potential. I guess you could say it's like the Force Awakens of video games, but that's a little insulting to RE3make :P If you haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend it now that it's appropriately priced. It's $30 now, and if it had LAUNCHED at that price, I honestly think its average review scores would've increased from 8/10 to 9/10. It's high quality Resident Evil Lite in a similar vein to the excellent Revelations games, and I love it.
Jack from RE7 was literally nemesis but was executed way better, had funny one liners, threatening, stalked you numerous times, had great boss battles. What happened to re3 remake capcom!!!!
Spot on analysis. I'd just add that, besides the obvious fact that the shorter runtime of re3 cucked nemesis, I kinda see what the devs did: he's Mr X combined with birkin. If the game were the same length as the original or re7 or 5 or 4, we could get perfection. Nemesis transformed veeeeeery slowly on the original one and on the remake... He goes from 0 to 100 in a single cutscene. Is disappointing. I clearly remember that as a kid I took MONTHS to finish the original re3. When I first saw shirtless nemesis with a set of upgraded tentacles, I really felt that he, as the antagonist, Jill, as the protagonist, and me as the player, were skirmishing the hell out of each other and the tone was just right to set this wear and tear. We didn't get that in the remake and for me that's the biggest sin. In all honesty I finished the game in seven and something hours mark so it was good for my money. But the pacing really let me down. It's too fast when it shouldn't (namely every moment with Jill) and just about right when it had no need to be (hospital Carlos anyone?). They dropped the ball. Re2 was better. Re7 was even dopier if that word even exists. I'm so hyped for village.
Imagine fighting any normal group of enemies, low on health and then nemesis comes in and shoots you with a rocket launcher, the charm of him constantly ruining simple areas with constant heavy damage would kill it
💙💚💛🧡 Initially my FF7 Remake review was 9/10, and Re3 was 8/10 But now I've had time for them to sink in... FF7 Remake is 10/10, and Re3 has been downgraded to *6/10* Because I saw how good Re2 Remake was (with Tyrant), very disappointed 💙💚💛🧡
If you have the tools to avoid his attacks, are you really going to take unnecessary damage by hamstringing yourself like that? You can make a too-easy game harder for yourself with self-imposed challenges, but the game is still too easy.
Logan Elkins But that argument could be taken to further extents. If what if they made all the guns do 1000000 damage and kill nemesis in one hit? "Haha, just don't use the guns bro" What if they make the knife kill nemesis in one hit and do 10000000 damage? "Haha, just don't attack anything bro" What if Jill's footsteps did 1000000 damage and killed nemesis in one hit? "Haha, just don't move bro" What if Jill existing did 10000000 damage and killed nemesis in one hit? "Haha just don't play the game bro" Saying "just don't use it bro" is a poor argument for OP mechanics in games; it can be extended infinitely. (i don't think dodging is OP, I'm just making a point about your argument)
Hoomin Beeing and MattheJ1 you make good points. I guess I just don’t agree with some of the complaints I’ve heard. I thought he was great in the early game but I hated that they basically ditched him half way through. Dodging ruining Nemesis just doesn’t seem like a valid argument to me.
Logan Elkins I agree with you. Most of nemesis's hits remain active for multiple frames, so the invincibility frames from the dodge won't do much. Also, the RE franchise NEVER had fast characters; Jill in RE3 is no exception. Dodging makes up for Jill's overall poor mobility.
If this was a proper remake it would of played like a longer slightly more action oriented RE2 remake. That's what the RE3 OG was. This game is at it's core almost nothing like the original. It's the universal studios theme park version of RE3.
He's not a bigger threat than X.... He's too scripted and you can just perfect dodge every attack of his. (btw the dodge mechanic is not inconsistent at all its done times better than in the original, you just have to learn the timing.)
you can bait out every attack mr x does and just walk past him. and yes you can dodge nemesis but i bet you didnt dodge all his attacks. i sure didnt and he did smack me down a few times. altho he isnt hard at all and doesnt show up alot. mr x is just far more consistent and actually around. hearing him walk down the hallway next to you does something with you. nemesis however shows up. you run for a bit and hes gone again. but the worst thing about nemesis is the single fact that 1 grenade downs him for long enough that you dont even have to worry about him anymore. and as far as i know you can do this with every encounter you have with him on the map. for example. the first time after the intro. he crashes through a wall. just drop your grenade right away. and after that you can just take your time doing what the game expects you to do without having to worry about him
@@112523 Well by the time I was on my fourth run I could perfect dodge every Nemesis attack and fyi he takes more than 1 grenade if you play on Nightmare or Inferno, he can even take 2 RPG shots. They nailed it right with X, even after you've learned the game from the inside out he can still be scary because there's that kind of randomness to him because you never know when he will show up outside of the very few scripted moments. Nemesis is really a downgrade compared to him, They should have given him more time by dropping him on downtown the moment you pick up the fire hose, having him in the sewers and a longer part of the game where he has his RPG without the laser and making him less reliant on scripted events (also buff his health so he takes A LOT more bullets and grenades, at least this is my idea on a fix for Nemesis although I bet it won't make the problems go away).
Re3 is just weaker. As a threat, as a system. As an enemy. While I was rly fqn scared of MrX, I didn't feel anything about nemesis. Call it heresy, I don't care, but Ustanak from re6 was a better nemesis.

What is the name of the metal riff you olay tight when you start the talk about nemesis 2:03
I know its a year late but could you make a video on what would make a good "nemesis" like enemy type?
Mr. X - The unexpected indie sleeper hit
Nemesis - The studio-produced sequel that goes bigger but loses the charm of the original
To be fair in this case RE3 remake is the sequel thag goes smaller and loses the charm of the original (cut content, Nemesis not having time nor space to chase / stalk you properly etc).
wheres the lie
@@mokubakaiba1751 OG Nemesis was a professional wrestler who waddled around chasing you while you had more problems dealing with the camera and forced point of views.
I think Nemesis needed one more area in his basic first form to harass you.
Shinzero02 well, actually if you use something like a trainer to go through walls and go to the RPD (with Jill) you can see Nemesis with the thing that covers his face, usually when there’s a T pose character in certain areas(a similar thing happend with Ada and the dogs in Re2R) it means that there’s gonna be a cinematic, so, I guess they changed everything at a late stage or something, because there’s even a concept art with nemesis holding a Minigun and missing the upper half of his trenchcoat
The way Nemesis leaves you alone, is just downright lazy, he just flies into the damn sky
YaBigBoii II “Spiderman 02”, what exactly are you attaching your web to?
It does feel like there's a cut section of the city. I don't think it was lazy so much as it seems like they were forced to either remove an area or didn't have the time to finish an area. Either that or the Power Plant area and it's drain deimos enemies were incompatible (RE Engine problems?) with zombies and Nemesis being active. That whole section is specifically separated from every other enemy type and Nemesis only reappeared once it dealt with.
I have my suspicions about there being RE Engine limitations though. All the non-zombie type enemies are extremely limited and isolated to specific areas that prevent them from even being able to be lured into any other area. In both RE2 and RE3 there aren't that many lickers, dogs, Hunters or G-mutations. I think RE3 has 2 dogs total and 1-2 lickers. RE2 had maybe 2-3x that. Even Devil May Cry 5 didn't really flood the screen with varied enemy types like previous games in that franchise did.
@@shinzero0271 I don't think anything was really cut since people have gone out of bounds all over the game, and you don't see anything that looked remotely playable. What really happened was the game was outsourced, and developed at the same time as RE2. They never intended Nemesis to be a roaming monster but after seeing how popular Mr. X was in the RE2 remake they had barely enough time to add a bit of roaming to him at the start of the game. They had to give him a dumb "web swing" teleport though because the map design was so linear.
@@Sifer2 While it was outsourced, it was outsourced to a team Capcom has worked with before and helped found and included former Capcom staff. Capcom uses subsidiaries and secondary teams all the time. Plus not all cut areas leave blatant map fragments for noclip explorers to find. From what I've been told, there are some signs that there was additional RPD content, and some of the noclip exploration does show areas that just abruptly dead end like the connection was removed and the general path was blocked. I will say that I preferred the backtracking in RE3re to RE2re. It felt more natural for Jill to have to go somewhere and then take detours to get back, then have to repeat that with a different detour once her initial plans for escape were shot to hell. With Leon and Claire I kinda felt like the game was just stalling, forcing you to run various paths through the same area while searching for parts that were in some seriously crazy locations that made no sense in order to open doors. Add in having to abort some paths in order to avoid a 'roaming' Mr. X, who also had scripted appearances as well as random offscreen teleports, or having a bookcase fall over and block a door and it didn't feel natural so much as 'oh look another forced obstacle'. Hell, my first playthrough of RE2re took extra long because I was looking for a key that I couldn't obtain on that character at all and there was no actual indication of that. The game had already ingrained a desire for me to find keys just to speed up my travel through the station and I ended up wasting more time.
I know some people call it lazy design but the sheer amount of minute detail, references to other Capcom games, and love for the franchise that we did get, really shows that at the very least, the developers were putting in some serious effort. Whether there were time and/or budget constraints that put a damper on things or if the game's director had a vision that the story should play out like a movie
That is even how the original RE3 got made. It was one of several smaller projects being worked by side teams and was chosen as an epilogue to the Raccoon City saga on the PS1.
I actually like the "web swing" teleport as that, along with Nemesis parasite zombies falling from the roofs (more often on harder difficulties), makes it seem like Nemesis primarily tracks Jill from rooftops in the early game. I'm surprised they didn't use that. Add in his rocket-catching, and Wesker-dodge capabilities that you really only see on secondary playthroughs and it really seems like first-stage Nemesis was intended to do more.
Plus, I don't really see Nemesis intended as a roamer like Mr. X was. He has a clear-cut mission to eliminate STARS members while Mr. X was a more general 'kill all the witnesses and people who can tie this to Umbrella' monster.
Shinzero02 And yet he didn’t kill any STARS members.
R3make’s Nemesis is a failure at his job. He didn’t kill any STARS member.
Quite a shame indeed, a total unstoppable failure.
yeah why did they remove brad's death scene? to make us feel slightly bad when he showed what little humanity he had left when he attacks marvin? it would've been a brutal way introduce nemesis to new players, and a good tribute to us old fans
StopFlaggingVideos that part annoys me, why Capcom gives priority to a Brad who says a cheap "sorry", than an introduction of nemesis killing a member of the STARS without compassion. And the worst part is seeing how people love the new Brad for that ridiculous scene. Also, they take down other great moments like Nemesis destroying the rescue helicopter or the end with a poor ciematic of racoon city destruction. This game is a total fail, doesn't deserve to call itself a re3 remake, remastered or reimagined.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon true, but it still seems like it was cheapened. you get a simple little escape intro that is 0 difficulty, you just have to hold forward. i still feel the original had the best introduction to nemesis. you hear about it from your friend, who looks fucked up and scared, and later you meet that same friend even more fucked up, and nemesis mutilates him in front of you and charges you. that's a great intro to nemesis
@@StopFlaggingVideos Martin should have been bited by another cop, maybe his best friend.
In my opinion, the success of Nemesis in original RE3 back in 1999 is that Nemesis is a true stalker you can’t tell when he will show and the options make it a lot of threat besides his terrifying design unlike Mr.x back in 1998 totally scripted encounters like 2020’s Nemesis.
Nemesis was scripted in the original too, you just didn't notice
This game DESPERATELY needs a huge content patch. The clocktower should be first on that list
The gravedigger fight would be really nice to see
That game can't be fixed.
It's a remake, what you want is a remastered resident evil 3, which sounds way better than the remake.
My list of what Capcom should focus on for RE after 8 comes out:
1. RE3 Remake: Director's Cut with 1-2 hours of extra content
2. New RE game in the 2R/3R style (reboot acceptable)
3. A second RE1 remake in the 2R/3R style (if they really want to)
*massive gap*
9743. RE4 Remake
Unfortunately, I get the feeling Capcom's priority list is exactly the opposite of mine :(
@@QuintessentialWalrus 1 won't happen 3 no we don't need another damn re1 remake hd is already perfect as it is godamit
i really enjoyed this game but it also has clear issues
when i first encountered nemesis and saw he sprinted towards me i shat my pants
but then i found a grenade. and then i threw the grenade.
at this moment i realised that as long as you have a grenade on you he is just a pushover
and there are more then enough grenades
True facts ! Play that shit on inferno mode though, I tossed him a grenade and that shit only tickled him !
Nemesis was a great threat in his humanoid form, between the moment you restore the power plant and reach the subway where his appearence is not scripted.
But overall, Mr X put much pressure on us that nemesis did.
mr x felt like he was always there chasing you and hearing those footsteps come towards you is pretty nerve wrecking the first time through.
but after many runs hes just a joke. still love him tho
@@112523 it depends where you encounter him, in narrow corridor he is a pain in the ass.
And you don't have that "perfect dodge move" which make kinda difficult to aim and shoot his head to stop him.
Beat the game hundreds of times on hardcore and he still terrifies me.
SupahFly Nemesis wouldn’t have that problem, as he’s tougher, faster, and can shoot weapons.
RE2 is like a horror movie. RE3 is a popcorn summer flick.
I’ve never agreed with the excuse that “well of course RE3 remake is action focused, so was the original!”
This is very different. Even the original game contained elements of the survival horror genre and was largely still a game of survival. RE3 remake felt like a deliberate attempt to pivot back to the RE6 formula but dress it up in RE3 so people didn’t get too mad.
And this doesn't? I mean you are rummaging through inventory space and navigating tight spaces....is it the lack of actual puzzles? That's more logic than survival imo.
Javier Moya if you never played the original RE3 then I don’t really expect you to understand. Nevertheless, the remake of RE3 has more in common with RE6 than it does RE3
@@LateNightHalo fair enough. I havent played the original. I own the remake of the first and second, and everyone loves the second. At face value the new third just hadn't hit me like a deer in the road that alot of others felt.
Javier Moya When did you actually pick up your first RE game and what was it, cause that usually accounts for the confusion about the slop of a mess this game turned out to be, both as an RE title and contending as a remake
Nah, the original RE3 gave you too many supplies (heals and gunpowders to create Freeze Rounds) that supplies conservation was never really a concern, even if you chose to fight Nemesis in most encounters. The original was probably less action-focused, but only a bit slightly.
I feel like the designers kind of put themselves into a pickle here. They had to make nemesis more dangerous than Mr. X, but like you said he’s so dangerous that it’s always clear he’s priority 1 in terms of danger. And his presence makes the game simpler and thus less stressful, which is probably the opposite of what the designers wanted
Kurt Dutfield-Hughes I wholeheartedly disagree. I was much more stressed out with nemesis compared to mr. x. I enjoyed RE3R more too.
Casey then with you something wrong
@@Casey-dy2oo Only for the first playthrough tho, once u know where he is appearing and what he will do and where to run u just won't feel stressed.
kevin ho I have to disagree. Especially comparing both on hardcore and up.
@@Casey-dy2oo mate, I think that's actually the problem, people were supposed to play hardcore from the start and skip standard. Imagine you do standard and then hardcore on REmake 2 and then you start REmake 3 on standard instead of hardcore. That is totally going to scale down the difficulty way too much and is going to make your skills overpass the game settings. That and the fact that REmake 3's hardcore is easier than REmake 2's hardcore, which again, going through standard on REmake 3 as your first playthrough takes too much away from the experience.
Good video! R3make was enjoyable enough, but I think they really dropped the ball with Nemesis. After finishing the remake, I went back and played through all of the original RE3 Nemesis. And he feels like much more of a fully realized stalking threat in that. I suspect maybe they didn't want to repeat the Mr X gameplay so soon and have it potentially feel uninspired. Still, I wish it had been something different than what it was.
djbeema yeah, I feel Re3R can get shit on to much but it still missed some big opportunities. I wanted mercenaries, a expanded clock tower and graveyard segment of the game, and a better nemesis. on nightmare and inferno he’s actually tough and kinda scary, but he still lacks the randomness and stalker behavior of the original.
djbeema yeah I totally agree crap 💩 com totally shit the bed on this one and in my opinion and tasted fucked my favorite RE title out of them all in doing so 1999 nemesis is still far definite superior and still has way more screen time in humanoid form And horror death scenes.
Hamish, please plug the podcast more man! It’s honestly a huge highlight when I listen to you and Nico, and deserves so much more credit than you give in the videos.
Fantastic video as always! Keep it up
They dropped the ball so hard on nemesis. Still can't believe they failed such a simple concept. Made it an onrails game with occasional free roam in extremely linear areas.
It felt like an arcade version of a real game.
I replayed RE2 Remake on hardcore after beating RE3 Remake on Nightmare and Mr. X is sooo much easier to deal with compared to Nemesis. I agree that on a first playthrough, Mr. X enforces more suspense because you do not have a clear idea of where to go and you are backtracking unnecessarily or escaping into rooms where you had no idea lickers would spawn in, but second playthrough onwards you can easily avoid him and his segments feel very short when you know where to take all the key items. He really only pursues you in 2 events inside the police station and both take place a few key items away from escaping to the parking lot. Nemesis on the other hand is entirely reaction and skill based, regardless of your playthrough, because you are forced to engage him. Whether you run or fight, you have to be alert of his varied moveset and the presence of other enemies. If in your 3rd playthrough you managed to run from the toy store to the gate by only having to dodge a tendril pull, it might not be the same in your 4th playthrough if he decides to Sprint an throw a punch. In that sense I feel Nemesis offers more challenging replayability than Mr. X, especially in the harder difficulties which I feel most of the people criticizing haven't even played.
Alex Ortiz AGREED!
@Craig Adams Replay RE2. His presence won't even bother you.
Alex Ortiz Well said
That's true, RE3 is not challenging at all if you start the game on standard, which in case you did, it's going to ruin the entire experience for you, both in your first and future playthroughs due to standard and hardcore having the same enemy-item placement. Now, if you start from hardcore and then go to nightmare, things are going to be way more challenging and different in both playthroughs.
@@DynamicDanny1996 I do not understand why some people that had already played RE2 Remake selected Standard difficulty as their first playthrough. RE3 is easier by default cuz you already have that muscle memory from RE2. Start in hardcore to immediately unlock Nightmare which is a waaaay better experience. Imagine playing standard first playthrough and then hardcore second playthrough, with the only difference being the damage output of enemies... People get bored before even getting to the unlockable difficulties. Standard is good for people completely new to the series.
Re 3 has been one of my favorite games since I was a kid. This remake felt like a kick in the balls.
RE3 Nemesis 1999 handled Nemesis way better. He's a real threat and the rewards for defeating him are great.
RE3 Remake Nemesis is a complete neutered joke. He's literally defeated by a book shelf at the beginning lmao.
Even Resident Evil Apocalypse Nemesis is laughing at Remake Nemesis.
Except that the remake Nemesis works pretty much the same way the original did. He only comes after you at certain points in the game, and if you kill him and get far enough away before he gets back up, he stays down until the next point in the story where he comes after you. If you don't kill him, he pursues you relentlessly. The only difference is that the sections of the story wherein he comes after you are fewer and closer together in the remake. Even the rewards are the same; a few upgrades for your starter pistol that make it almost as good as a magnum, then ammo and healing items for the rest.
What do you mean by "defeated by bookshelf"? you're clearly just hating him for no reason.
@Claire Redfield The bit about the map and gameplay of the original is true, but Nemesis was never random. He only seemed random at first.
@Claire Redfield Can't argue with that. I'm glad to see that you know what you're talking about.
@@josh-oo Except Nemesis in the Remake can get downed with a single freaking grenade in his first form. That's not threatening or intimidating, its laughable.
Original Nemesis took so much damage in every non-boss encounter that it made you seriously consider whether you should run away but have him constantly pursue you to conserve your ammo, or down him to give yourself a break but risk having little ammunition left.
RE asked on Twitter asked what they could do to improve both RE3 and Resistance and that whole thread was basically we want an improved RE3 and dlc and the areas that were gone. However there were some unique ideas thrown out. For instance @NoriyukiWorks83 posted a live selection option idea that depending on your actions would change the location from remake locations vs original locations and storyline a bit as well as ending. I couldn't find his but I did share it his image map he posted at twitter.com/KafkaKefkaKoff/status/1250463855219744769?s=09. There were also some other great gameplay suggestions like bring back Mercenaries as well and more costumes. I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are. Also I heard RE3 has more positive reviews when you put it on harder difficulties.
I'd say the main campaign works but could use an expanded area for stage 1 Nemesis to chase you when he's in his Spider-Man mode. Maybe include a side area that isn't important to the plot but offers a decent award for completing.
A Nikolai DLC scenario showing what he was up to while offscreen could also be used to showcase some removed areas as it never really made sense for Jill to be in some of the areas she went to in the original. Having Nikolai be forced to deal with puzzles because he's breaking into the personal stashes of various Umbrella scientists will assassinating some of them and picking up resources for his big payday would work wonders.
Costumes and such are a definite plus. I'd definitely like a more practical version of the Revelations outfit for this new Jill and to see what they'd come up with for an RE5 'Super' Jill in this design. Not to mention seeing a modern take on Regina from Dino Crisis as an alternate costume would be great.
I'm not really sure if Mercenaries would actually work in this game engine. The holdout in the Hospital really seemed like a test of the RE4/5 style Mercenaries modes and it was pretty bad in terms of enemy spawning. As a whole, I don't the RE Engine is good for having a large number of active enemies on screen at once. Even the main game's large amount of zombies had most of them in dormant states until events 'activated' them.
The city section should have been WAY more larger...
Now I’m starting to see why people didn’t like the 3make..I liked it but nemesis didn’t carry that fear like the original hunting you down.
it straight up pisses me off the speed at which jill runs, like, you've got this titan chasing you that you know can and will kill you, and she just jogs like she's late for her job or something, it's infurating
No he can't. You throw a grenade at him, pick up the free candy he brought you, and walk off.
Jill jogs to prevent herself from tiring out
If it helps you feel better, Jill actually runs noticeably faster than Claire and Leon do. This was intentionally done to make REmake 3's action feel better to play. Must be that STARS training!
If you have a dude that will follow you to the end of the earth, sprinting for a minute and getting tired is not going to help you, conserving stamina is way smarter.
Joe Fixit, nice reference. Never though of it lol
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize Nemesis had systems. I just held forward when it showed up.
Savage. Absolutely savage.
I found myself annoyed with Mr. X. Yet in Resident Evil 3 Remake i loved EVERY encounter with nemesis.
Just finished it today, in three sittings. 5 hours and 12 minutes, 2 deaths and 20 saves in total. I do like the game its brilliant and kept me involved until the hospital part and I thought it grated on. But really really really short
Love the video. But you actually can dodge all attacks if you get stuck in a loop of attacks he does you can spam button mash your buttons and Jill will recover alot faster to a point depending on the difficulty your playing on
Re3 was the first action horror game I ever played and enjoyed. I liked it so much, I tracked down the older game, which I loved too, and literally every other mainline resident evil game including the outbreak, chronicles and dead aim spinoffs.
Having no experience with the original RE3, the handling of Nemesis didn't actually bother me. If anything, it just made me curious since I knew so many people were eager for this remake because of how Mr. X had been handled. However, I don't feel like such a character would have worked as well here without making major modifications to the mechanics.
Which, sadly, kind of stands with my feelings on the game as a whole. RE2 wasn't really as big of an action game, which I think is why I enjoyed it as much. The mechanics seemed perfectly balanced with the sort of experience they were going for. RE3, on the other hand, was very much an action game, even though the mechanics were designed to encourage ammo conservation and alternate options. The first area of RE3 allows for some of that play style up until Nemesis shows up, and once that happened everything that made RE2 great begins to fall away. A lot of the boss fights here feel far more tedious, absorbing more bullets than I felt like they had in RE2, while new additions like Hunters were far too capable of one-hit kills despite eating bullets like they were breakfast cereal.
In the end it was still a fun game, but it felt like a mod or expansion whose vision was forced onto mechanics that were designed to deliver a different kind of experience. As a result, I'm now feeling apprehensive about rumors of a Resident Evil 4 remake, particularly since that game remains as solid as it had on release.
And if I might add. I think the re2 remake did better at being a survival horror than re3 remake did as an action game.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 I have to disagree. RE2 Remake's 'survival horror' primarily came from forcing you to loop the same area repeatedly to solve some of the most inane 'puzzles' while Mr. X wandered the area attracted to the sounds (and occasionally teleporting closer to you when you got too far from him) like some sort of super-licker. If you watch speed runs, he's really predictable.
For RE3 Remake, Jill's journey runs like aa film to the point where it would've been the best Resident Evil movie made if it wasn't a game. The pacing in particular is fast, with slowdown only when switching to Carlos' sections. While people complain about what was removed, her journey actually makes sense now. The entire time, she's trying to get out of the city and her goal only changes once she finds out there is a cure and an incoming nuke will kill whoever is left alive. Her point of view doesn't have the time to waste on trying to figure out what Nikolai and the other mercenaries are up to until they directly impede her means of escape. Where the original game kinda goes into side tangents like following Nikolai's string of assassinations of Umbrella scientists, a failed attempt at extraction involving the clocktower, and a random giant worm boss in a graveyard where the true boss is the camera angle, Jill's journey really doesn't need that. It should definitely be included in something like a Nikolai scenario.
Having a Nikolai scenario added in general could show all the missing areas, as late game we do see a message he wrote saying he was all over the city and in some of the removed areas. It even mentions him going to the University, which is the location of a scenario in Resident Evil: Outbreak that Nikolai appears in. That University is home to a rogue Umbrella scientist who built his own, unique, Tyrant based on the process that made the original rather than simply being a clone like Mr. X and the other T-103 series.
@@shinzero0271 in re2 you feel tension but in the beginning when you know nothing mr x is anything but predictable when you try to find which rooms he can follow you. And you feel pressed in some situation when you don't know where you will find ammo etc. To do a speedrun you either need to see a youtube from someone who played it a few times or play it yourself to figure out the tricks to spare ammo and time. So all in all re2 remake did a good job at being survival horror.
Re3 remake is more action based but it doesn't do a very good job at it since it doesn't feel like a complete action experience. It is going too fast and the story isn't very compelling. Plus I wasn't feeling much sympathy for jill like I did with leon and claire. And if I didn't know some things about the first game I would be a bit lost about the story. Now I haven't played the original game to know about the comparisons to puzzles et. But I have played re4 and I can see the action and story were better there.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 I think the difference is the original itself wasn't even intended to be a standalone game. The story was never 'good' and even with the content that was removed for the remake, it was still extremely short compared to 2. Again, 'puzzles' padded out the length and between Nemesis and static camera angles, the horror mostly came from what was offscreen and could be headed toward you, with only sound cues warning you. RE3 was meant to be a sidestory to 2 and only got turned into a full game after Capcom made the decision to finish the Raccoon City saga on PS1 rather than extending it to the next generation. They closed the Raccoon City saga with RE3 by nuking the city after establishing that all of the surviving heroes from the franchise escaped. Technically, Code Veronica (or an early version of Code Veronica) should've been RE3.
The original RE3 was pretty much the same experience only with more of the classic RE style 'puzzles', more Umbrella mercenaries, a few more locations (I remember a park, some side streets, an expanded waste disposal facility that had signs of conflict between the US Military and several other Mr. X-type Tyrants that would later be expanded upon in other games featuring this time period in the franchise, a graveyard boss that was more frustrating than satisfying, some extra mercenary encounters , and more places where Nemesis just freely runs at you trying to punch you to death/shoot you with rockets. The game's path gets altered by some decisions made concerning how you deal with forced Nemesis encounters and there's a larger enemy variety (even though they're still limited to 1-2 rooms a piece per new type).
I do agree that this game is more action oriented than 2, just like the original was. Jill's ability to dodge is a pretty big gamechanger. I think the biggest different in term of the narrative and gameplay is that Jill had already done the survival horror experience in RE1. She's seen the zombies, seen bioweapons like Hunters, Chimera and a Tyrant, and already knows what it takes to survive. She knew what to expect and the only real outlier at that point is Nemesis, which is shown to be a durable threat that is constantly becoming even more threatening. Even the giant worm boss that the remake of 3 excludes is something that pales in comparison to the giant snake, spiders, and man-eating plant from her experience in the mansion. Both the original and remake essentially bypass the actual horror aspect by making it so that Jill is already capable and past the "this can't be happening" stage that Claire and Leon faced early RE2. Jill's overall goal is just to get out the city.
Leon and Claire go headlong into the horror from the start, both being outsiders to the city and not knowing what to expect before being separated and winding up in the RPD and later Umbrella labs.
As for RE4... well with the raccoon saga over and zombies hitting a media lull, I don't blame them for going more towards action-horror. Keep in mind, Devil May Cry spawned from an early RE4 design, and then there was that prototype RE4 that leaked and involved possession or something in what looked to be another mansion before they ended up with the Los Plagas setting/storyline.
RE5 just seemed like a natural evolution of the escalation in bioterrorism. I think they tried more for body-horror when it came to enemy design but the co-op gameplay really removed the horror aspect entirely.
RE6 though... I can't really explain RE6. It just seemed like nostalgia, action scenes involving prior protagonists, a sad lack of Jill, and way too many QTEs. The only thing I could think of after playing RE6 was that they basically turned the main campaign into little more than the Mercenaries mini-game with boss fight set-pieces.
@@shinzero0271 no I think it makes sense narratively to be more action based since jill faced zombies in re1 and is more experienced. Just like leon who had little training than in re2 and was kicking ass left and right in re4.
But in re3 even some of stuff like dodging make sense it is not a good action game in some areas. Length is one of them that re2 managed to make it less apparent with the 2nd run and play as either or claire at the 1st run. But the story even if it had some great moments if felt kinda flat. There are a lot of opinions on the why but smt about all the combination of what they did just made the experience less enjoyable. The what could have been changed is analyzed to death by way too many people to get into. For me I think the main thing is you wanted to see leon and claire get out of the danger but not so much with jill. You like carlos but jill is less friendly to the audience. The new players of re like me don't really like her and a good chunk of the older players don't like her changes from the original game.
It's clear from the get go that Nemesis is much worse than Mr X in a good way. All you have to do is give him more health (1 grenade is ridiculous) and give him Free roam and he becomes a nightmare
It might just be me but the RE3 Remake felt a hell of a lot more like RE6 than I would have liked.
It was awesome and I loved it
Hardly
it is just you.
While it didn't feel like re6 per se, I totally get where you're coming from in it felt like the same transition that took place from re5 to re6

I very much disagree with the statement "Simple is always best."
The way you talk about how the "omnipresent juggernaut" falls apart in an actual boss fight reminds me of the TTRPG wisdom "if you stat it, they will kill it." I guess in this case, it's "if you tell them to kill it, it can die."
💙💚💛🧡 The terror of encountering Mr. X in the Hallway with Lickers ..... was never there in RE3 Remake. Disappointment. 6/10 💙💚💛🧡
I dunno, having Nemesis wait outside the toy shop for you to exit it is pretty terrifying. You can see him staring at you through the store window, just waiting to try to murder you. I think the original Mega Man display there is what he's truly wary of.
Play on nightmare or inferno mode. When Nemesis is acting like Spider-Man in the city, he's extremely terrorizing. You can't even fully rely on the infinite rocket launcher because he can catch rockets and throw them aside or do a Wesker-style dodge to avoid the explosion entirely. I haven't actually tested if he does the same on normal but I think it's telling that they basically removed the one weakness every other Tyrant seems to have. Grenades are basically the only thing to give him serious pause at that point.
Actually, Inferno mode in general puts the horror in this game's survival horror. Even the Nemesis-infected zombies become a viable threat there.

@@WaddleDee105 okay cool
Nemesis clearly has no intentions on killing Jill, there is no moment with Nemesis where Jill was clearly in grave danger.
yeah, Nemesis went easy on her, he could've killed her countless times when he had her grabbed from the head, like at the very first time he appears, it felt like he was just playing with her, rather than killing on sight
Well duh, she never visits the graveyard.
Seriously though, you do realize Jill gets outright murdered by Nemesis if you fail the handful of QTEs or running away, right? She's got plot armor preventing Nemesis from instakilling her with no chance to fight back, like almost every game protagonist with a health bar. Don't drive the car off the edge? She gets a tentacle through the face. Don't run away, in the burning apartment hallway? Smashed by the chunk of of ceiling he's holding. Don't crawl away when his second form's tentacle has you? Pulled into flames. The game constantly has Jill in grave danger. She's just got protagonist power.
Hell, even Nikolai can outright murder her and Carlos if you take too long to shoot him at the end. Not to mention her fall from the side of the building's window-washing elevator-thing should've probably crippled her to the point of not being able to avoid the thing falling on her right after. The end to the rocket launcher sequence should've actually killed Jill. She had a rocket explode right next to her, and should've had massive internal damage from the pressure wave alone. The drain deimos' implant, being thrown by Nemesis's tentacle from the top of the facility to the bottom, the direct injection of a good amount of T-virus... yeah Nemesis was constantly a threat to her.
The biggest problem with the experience change between the original RE2 and 3 is that using the RE4 style camera view and control system and moving away from static camera angles changes everything. Being able to freely aim, freely dodge, and exploit enemy movements is something that basically kills most of what made RE2 and 3 feel threatening. RE2 remake made up for it by being nearly claustrophobic and including excellent sound design that upped your anticipation whenever Mr. X was stomping around. Even then, the scariest moments are caused by being forced to solve inane and out-of-place puzzles while playing keep away with a Tyrant in a trenchcoat. Once you get out of the RPD, it really stops becoming scary and the feeling of danger decreases drastically. RE3 has more open environments that I think really detract from that same atmosphere RE2's remake had.
Though, play the game on inferno. Jill is in grave danger the entire time. Everything can murder her. Nemesis sneezing in her general direction has a chance of murdering her.

Great video 🤘
Mr X was a joke 80% of the time,Nemesis was a constant threat outside of your 10-15 minute breaks from him
If you hear Mr. X in the area and he hasn't already locked onto the sounds you made via shooting/running around, he will basically just wander aimlessly in your general area with a high chance of not even finding you unless you do something that triggers one of his scripted appearances.
Nemesis somehow always knows where Jill is. I kinda got the impression that all those Nemesis-infected zombies that randomly drop from the sky are being used as a sort of sentry system by Nemesis to track Jill from the rooftops. Whenever he spider-man leaps away, he's probably nabbing zombies to place Nemesis parasites on so they can just scan the cit for S.T.A.R.S members.
@@shinzero0271 theres only a few times that he is unavoidable:
picking up the bookcase tool,activating the bookcase and after picking up the garage key card.....Nemesis is just scripted events for the most part
@@PlanetNateGaming Same with Mr. X. The difference being that he wanders, responds to noise like a Licker, and has several triggers that make him teleport closer to the player as well as event triggers that ensure that he'll be headed to the player after certain player actions. The map design with everything being interconnected makes him seem more dynamic than he actually is. Once you're out of the RPD area, he just becomes scripted events.

I too agree. I started REmake 3 on hardcore and turned the HUD off, went like this through hardcore and all the way to inferno with no special items. It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Spooky scary skeletons
Woah, forgetting about RE7 bringing back the horror?
RE7 never felt like a genuine RE game for me. It was too different in its form and story, and the characters I was familiar with were not there. Plus it is (as of now) a one-time first-person experience in the RE saga. But its a good game on its own merit.
I felt similarly about RE4 when it came out. That one was too different than the previous ones. Plus it started that awful string of RE action games (5 and 6). GTA has done it better (the transition to 3d I mean).
I may be narrow-minded, but I think that Raccoon City (or its outskirts) is the only place where this story should play out. Tank controls, third or first person - doesn't matter now, but the place itself is the key. Too bad they blew it away 20 years ago and still don't retcon it to existence.
@Curly Que yes, that is a good point. With RE7, Capcom has shown its acknowledgment of the fact that this franchise was in need of returning to its survival horror roots. But now, with r3make, they are about to jump the shark once again. The original trilogy, the Raccoon City incident, has been remade. RE3 is, IMO, one step away from being an action-oriented game like RE5 and RE6. So, the circle starts anew.
PS the original Nemesis is better, appearance-wise. They should've made his like the original one in r3make.
Alibek Zhussip I honestly don’t mind how different RE7 was, and as you said 5 nor 6 were well recieved by fans and the story has gotten all over the place. Imo getting away and starting something fresh that had little to do with Umbrella was a good move for the franchise in general so it could have more room to breath, same with 4 being years after the original games. RE7 still is paced like RE, and just like the older RE games were inspired by movies like George A. Romero, the Terminator, etc, RE7 takes the grind house approach. Plus, Resident Evil 1 was initially gonna be 1st person so I don’t mind it. Yeah, Raccoon City is great, but we technically have 2,3, their remakes, and the Outbreak games set in Raccoon. I don’t know how much more you could do with that setting. To me, just because a part of the series has differences from the predecessors doesn’t mean it’s not the same game series, Metal Gear is a prime example.
@@charlestonobryant807 valid points, although I can't argue about Metal Gear, still hasn't played a single one:) Regarding Raccoon City - I think it's just me being protective about old school:)
Alibek Zhussip that’s fair, I’m the same about some of my favorite Games too
This reminds me of Evil Within and Evil Within 2. The first one was great with a not so great ending(very similar to RE4s ending military island) but the second one was just bad and seemingly had no passion put into it. It was just made by people who were told do this and they did the bare minimum they needed to do to meet that demand.
Sums up RE3 Remake perfectly. No passion or true skill went into this. It's just a rushed lazy cash grab with a crappy multiplayer game too. 👍
@@Gruntvc You're crazy if you don't think any passion and skill went into RE3R. Regardless of if you think it compares well to RE2R or not, it's a very polished game with tons of detail.
Funny because I love EW2 (not like it's perfect but I liked a lot) while I didn't like EW1 at all. The first one is buch of different ideas throw together that really doesn't work well for me and some glaring design issues. EW2 at least had some focus and is more coherent.
It’s interesting because no matter how many mixed feelings I hear on this game, I still long to play it before the year’s end. The atmosphere, cut content from the original and Nemmy’s predictability sure do sting, but the honey taste of all that I see in regards to it’s length and digest-ability are far too sweet for me to pass up. Great write-up on this one Hamish, never have I been more salivating for such a middling game!
The game is fantastic and definately worth playing. Ignore a lot of the hate, the story , characters and gameplay are brilliant.
I grew up with the originals, and I love this remake.
Mate, I would suggest you to start the game in hardcore since standard it's really really easy, so, yeah, do yourself a favor and start with hardcore. Turn off the HUD for the ultimate experience.
I know I'm 11 months late but I want to echo that RE3make is a wonderful little game. Nothing that's in the game is actually bad or dysfunctional -- people are just disappointed by its missed potential. I guess you could say it's like the Force Awakens of video games, but that's a little insulting to RE3make :P
If you haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend it now that it's appropriately priced. It's $30 now, and if it had LAUNCHED at that price, I honestly think its average review scores would've increased from 8/10 to 9/10. It's high quality Resident Evil Lite in a similar vein to the excellent Revelations games, and I love it.
It's an extremely dissapointing game because of how much potential it has and you can feel the cut content but if you get it for cheap it's amazing.
Jack from RE7 was literally nemesis but was executed way better, had funny one liners, threatening, stalked you numerous times, had great boss battles. What happened to re3 remake capcom!!!!
A third of the time? You do know that the speed runs for both this and the original show that the original was shorter....
I think he was talking about RE2 remake when making the comparison.
Nemesis was a joke in 3make.
@Dominic dominic according to whom?
@Dominic dominic Yes, because you should have to play through the game 2 times (3 times if you started on standard) to make him a challenging enemy /s
@Dominic dominic sure bud. I'm sure you have my play stats and know exactly how I played.
This new nemesis sucks ass lame as fuck even capcom notice that with that surveys xd
Unpunched head lol
The way Nemsis says "Shtaarssshh" reminds me of Sean Connery RIP
Spot on analysis. I'd just add that, besides the obvious fact that the shorter runtime of re3 cucked nemesis, I kinda see what the devs did: he's Mr X combined with birkin. If the game were the same length as the original or re7 or 5 or 4, we could get perfection. Nemesis transformed veeeeeery slowly on the original one and on the remake... He goes from 0 to 100 in a single cutscene. Is disappointing. I clearly remember that as a kid I took MONTHS to finish the original re3. When I first saw shirtless nemesis with a set of upgraded tentacles, I really felt that he, as the antagonist, Jill, as the protagonist, and me as the player, were skirmishing the hell out of each other and the tone was just right to set this wear and tear. We didn't get that in the remake and for me that's the biggest sin. In all honesty I finished the game in seven and something hours mark so it was good for my money. But the pacing really let me down. It's too fast when it shouldn't (namely every moment with Jill) and just about right when it had no need to be (hospital Carlos anyone?). They dropped the ball. Re2 was better. Re7 was even dopier if that word even exists. I'm so hyped for village.
RE3 Remake was very disapointing.
Nemesystems 👍
Imagine fighting any normal group of enemies, low on health and then nemesis comes in and shoots you with a rocket launcher, the charm of him constantly ruining simple areas with constant heavy damage would kill it

I’ve heard a lot “the dodge mechanic makes nemesis too easy.” you could just ignore it if it made your experience that much worse.
If you have the tools to avoid his attacks, are you really going to take unnecessary damage by hamstringing yourself like that? You can make a too-easy game harder for yourself with self-imposed challenges, but the game is still too easy.
Logan Elkins But that argument could be taken to further extents. If what if they made all the guns do 1000000 damage and kill nemesis in one hit?
"Haha, just don't use the guns bro"
What if they make the knife kill nemesis in one hit and do 10000000 damage?
"Haha, just don't attack anything bro"
What if Jill's footsteps did 1000000 damage and killed nemesis in one hit?
"Haha, just don't move bro"
What if Jill existing did 10000000 damage and killed nemesis in one hit?
"Haha just don't play the game bro"
Saying "just don't use it bro" is a poor argument for OP mechanics in games; it can be extended infinitely.
(i don't think dodging is OP, I'm just making a point about your argument)
Hoomin Beeing and MattheJ1 you make good points. I guess I just don’t agree with some of the complaints I’ve heard. I thought he was great in the early game but I hated that they basically ditched him half way through. Dodging ruining Nemesis just doesn’t seem like a valid argument to me.
Logan Elkins I agree with you. Most of nemesis's hits remain active for multiple frames, so the invincibility frames from the dodge won't do much. Also, the RE franchise NEVER had fast characters; Jill in RE3 is no exception. Dodging makes up for Jill's overall poor mobility.
"shit" - the end
Too much ads man, one at the very beginning, one in the middle and a long one at the end...
RE3 was shit that rushed half ass game, I regret buying it
If this was a proper remake it would of played like a longer slightly more action oriented RE2 remake. That's what the RE3 OG was. This game is at it's core almost nothing like the original. It's the universal studios theme park version of RE3.
He's not a bigger threat than X.... He's too scripted and you can just perfect dodge every attack of his. (btw the dodge mechanic is not inconsistent at all its done times better than in the original, you just have to learn the timing.)
you can bait out every attack mr x does and just walk past him. and yes you can dodge nemesis but i bet you didnt dodge all his attacks. i sure didnt and he did smack me down a few times. altho he isnt hard at all and doesnt show up alot.
mr x is just far more consistent and actually around. hearing him walk down the hallway next to you does something with you. nemesis however shows up. you run for a bit and hes gone again. but the worst thing about nemesis is the single fact that 1 grenade downs him for long enough that you dont even have to worry about him anymore. and as far as i know you can do this with every encounter you have with him on the map.
for example. the first time after the intro. he crashes through a wall.
just drop your grenade right away. and after that you can just take your time doing what the game expects you to do without having to worry about him
@@112523 Well by the time I was on my fourth run I could perfect dodge every Nemesis attack and fyi he takes more than 1 grenade if you play on Nightmare or Inferno, he can even take 2 RPG shots. They nailed it right with X, even after you've learned the game from the inside out he can still be scary because there's that kind of randomness to him because you never know when he will show up outside of the very few scripted moments. Nemesis is really a downgrade compared to him, They should have given him more time by dropping him on downtown the moment you pick up the fire hose, having him in the sewers and a longer part of the game where he has his RPG without the laser and making him less reliant on scripted events (also buff his health so he takes A LOT more bullets and grenades, at least this is my idea on a fix for Nemesis although I bet it won't make the problems go away).
Trinston was here. .
I always say that P.T. revived the Horror genre. It's crazy how influential a demo was in the industry!
Yeah this game is pretty bad. I want to sell it
Re3 is just weaker. As a threat, as a system. As an enemy. While I was rly fqn scared of MrX, I didn't feel anything about nemesis. Call it heresy, I don't care, but Ustanak from re6 was a better nemesis.
Re3 remake was fucked. All that meaningless QuickTime? Just let me play the game!
