Re3 remake will forever be the one remake that let me down the most. With all the lore and even comics for it, there was so much potential for it that it could've been the best remake if Capcom stood faithful towards it.
@@watashiwa21plays66 that's true, Capcom was still experimenting with the idea of being call of duty rich with resident evil unfortunately, sad when game companies experiment at our expense.
No it wouldn't re 4 is the best remake why because re 4 is the best game in the series that's the reason less recourses was used for re 3 also og re 3 was also made in quick time and has sold less copys than re 2.
@@AlbertPuljos yea kind of like what happened with RE6, you would think that after witnessing the success with both the original resident evil remake and re2 remake Capcom would just follow the same formula that brought that success and applied it to RE3 remake
The removal of live selections and areas like the Park,Clock Tower,Dead Factory along with the dumbed down Nemesis in the RE3 Remake really pissed me off.
Personally, I think the removal of the zapping system of RE2 and Live Selection of RE3 were the biggest disappointments in terms of changed content. Though, while Barry's changes in RE to RE1R were noticeable with his simpler interactions, I think RE2R deserves another spot on the list: the fact that you only see the other character twice throughout the entire game (once at the start, where they're waiting outside the gate, and once at the end, where they talk over a computer). In the original RE2, you felt the other character's presence. They'd call you on the radio, they'd meet you in certain hallways, etc. It felt like you were actually working together with them to find a safe way out of the police station.
Clearly the biggest let down from the remake, the zapping system and the AB scenarios were tied together it felt satisfying to consider that both characters were facing different odds at the same time. In the remake it's either Claire's story or Leon's
I've never played the B scenario but the Idea of the zapping system actually blows my mind. In the remake, it doesn't matter what choices you do bc it doesn't link up but to b able to make decisions that affects the 2nd run actually makes sense and actually feels like both leon and claire is on the same place.
RE3 deserved better. Its a shame that one of my favourite REs from the fixed camera games ended up getting the short end of the remake stick. Such a shame...
I don't think it can be classified as a remake as, it didn't remake anything. Its a reimagining , the same way Umbrella Chronicles and Operation Raccoon city reimagined the story.
It really pisses me off because ik we could've gotten such an AMAZING GAME. The remake would be so much better and actually make people think it's better than re2
@@vaniog29 Reimagining is a term devs use when they know their game isn't gonna live up to expectations and they want to get away with it. RE2 and 4 , while not perfect, got a much better treatment so there's no reason why RE3 had to handled this poorly. It they didn't wanna do it they could've just skipped it like they did CV.
I could be wrong, but I think Leon was there during Operation Javier in the Remake. I remember one of the dialogue being something like: Krauser: "Remember that jungle, we barely made it out alive" Leon: "How could i forget" I always thought this implied he was there too
It's not so much what they changed for the bad as what they cut..... The og had far greater replay value due to the areas that were cut, but the extension of some of the uncut areas was, while less than well executed, not terrible
Live selection would have definitely made the RE3 remake a trillion times better. I also miss using the freeze rounds in the original RE3 too but I would have enjoyed the remake more if live selection was included in the RE3 remake which is why I really want the Code Veronica remake to be remade with love, passion and maximum effort
@@getshwiftygaming447I've played the original recently and you're right. At least a lil. The live selection choices are not that great but adds so much replay value and affects parts of the game. If the remake adds this then it wouldn't be so goddamn short
This is just a nitpick, but I didn't like the end's chapter screen results in Re 4 Remake. I like a lot that in the original we could see images of Leon, Ashley and Ada.
I don’t agree with your Krauser take. I believe his change in the remake was needed. Not being Wesker’s goon made him more a more. Complete character. Having an actual backstory, as opposed to being some random character just dropped into the story, is refreshing.
It is unfortunate that in the OG RE4, Krauser gets dropped into the game with all this backstory between him and Leon that didn’t get any real detail until Darkside Chronicles. He’s made up to be a significant character in Leon’s life without much explanation why. The added backstory in the remake was much needed.
No mention of the stun lock hit animations?? i swear, who ever thought that was a good idea needs to be fired! losing all health or even dieing from multi hits just because u are locked from a hit!
@@frankkennedy6388idk if you know this but there's a thing called "adaptive difficulty" where self explanatory, it adapts. The amount of hits you get or dying can result in lesser headshots or lesser health for enemies.
@@userisfree Except on Professional, the difficulty is at maximum all the time. I'm not sure if it's the same in the Remake, but regardless, 15+ bullets for a headshot is fucking ridiculous!
Imo re2 remake is still good but I understand the hate but still the remake improved a lot of stuff and generally the game is scarier than the og. The re3 has so much thats cut and made the main character the Nemesis just wasted. Never played re4 remake but it actually look far more better than the og and added cool new feats that spices up the game (unlike re3). It does however have minor cuts but overrall great remake to me
@@userisfree if I had to place the RE 2,3,4 Remakes in order from most to least faithful to their source material, it would be 4,2,3 imo. RE3 had so much gutted, it barely resembles the original.
Agreed. Krauser in particular felt like they wanted a more psychotic villain as opposed to a calm and collected military operative. They also made him less buff
Agreed - especially Salazar. He was so toned down in the remake - almost to the point of being forgettable. Which is a damn shame considering that his interactions with Leon were some of the most iconic scenes from the game.
@@hybrid5860 They ruined Krauser's character. He's supposed to be Leon's buddy and Leon's supposed to feel bad when he dies; you can't have them spend all their screen time telling each other how much they hate each other and then pretend like Leon winning that fight is in any way emotional. They ruined Ada too; I honestly have a hard time deciding whether Re3R or Re4R is a worse remake. 3R at least doesn't massively break the rest of the franchise.
Personally I disagree with all y'all I like krauser and plus think about it in the original he works for Wesker so in the grand scheme of things he's nothing more than wesker's lap dog in the original but that's just my opinion I like new krauser although don't get it twisted I still love OG krauser
I think in the remake with Jill's response to Barry's more casual sandwich joke it does get a chuckle out of me when she turns to barry with a sigh saying "Really... thanks." it still gives me a chuckle. They have seem to gone back to that joke existing since in Revelations 2 Claire Redfield and Moira Burton mention the famous cringe joke to Moira's hate for it however for context in the story she doesn't get along with her father after a certain event that I wont spoil.
How did remake Krauser even find out about Los Illuminados? At least when he worked for Wesker it was Wesker gathering intel on Los Illuminados, likely with aid from groups like TriCell, and the whole point was to get the dominant plaga sample and get out of dodge, he just needed something to buy Saddler's trust, that being the abduction of Ashley. For me pretty much everything about the RE3 remake was a negative. Right down to Nemesis looking like he was wearing electrical tape.
That's why they shouldn't have disconnected Krauser from Wesker and Ada. The remake was the perfect opportunity to flesh their partnership out more and Capcom just wasted it.
I think the one that pisses me off the most is both Nemesis and AB scenarios. RE2 remake is ALMOST a masterpiece if it weren't those inconsistent campaigns. I do not appreciate the exact same puzzles and same bosses. And Nemesis? Yeah, you already know. EDIT: Excuse me, you say Lady D was better than Remake Nemesis? Absolutely disagree, because she is WAY less threatening in her stalker sections. She has way less access to her own castle to attack you.
Honestly, after playing RE1R, I've been incredibly scornful of the remakes. Instead of being faithful, they conform to arbitrary modern gameplay standards. It really doesn't take long to get used to the camera angles of RE1R or the controls of RE4R. It's extremely frustrating how gamers are so averted to anything that requires a learning curve
13:43 I'm glad someone else is saying it, Krauser is _really_ bad in Re4R. He was probably my favorite antagonist in the original series and they ruined everything that made him interesting here. Krauser's backstory in the REmake is the Tom Clancy novel _Clear and Present Danger_ without Jack Ryan to save the American Special Forces soldiers. If you read a synopsis of the novel, or watch the film (which is not very good, incidentally; Harrison Ford was the worst Jack Ryan), you will see it's the same story. Krauser's motivations further make no sense. In the original he was injured and discarded by the military and he's unflinchingly loyal to Wesker because Wesker _didn't_ see him as expendable, or at least, Jack didn't realize it. His motivations for serving Wesker make sense and you can tell he's frustrated he can't get Leon on his side. Krauser in the REmake is a willing convert to _Los Illuminados_ for...reasons and spends the entire game telling us how much he hates Leon, which makes it a bit absurd when Krauser insists they're two sides of the same coin, or that we're meant to care this asshole got himself killed.
@@theketaminekid1241 So much of the voice talent in this game is bad. Leon and Ashley's VA carry this game; the Merchant, Hunnigan, and Salazar are the only other actors with more than a handful of lines I'd say are even competent.
I agree with this whole take. I was really disappointed with the changes they made to Krauser, since he's one of my favorite villains in the original. I was really looking forward to seeing his relationship with Wesker get fleshed out more, and there were some really interesting ideas behind his motivations in Darkside Chronicles, only for all of that to get tossed aside for a cliched student/teacher scenario with Leon and a new version of Operation Javier that basically copied Chris' story from RE6. I also couldn't take him seriously with his higher-pitched voice after it was so deep in RE4 and DSC.
And these are just a few examples of why REmake 2002 is how it's done - despite the few minor removals. And why as far as I care to take it: there hasn't been a true Resident Evil since Outbreak File 2 back in 2005; all we've had are ip knockoffs.
My list is: 1R - perfect 2R - removal of the spiders; changing Ivy's; changing G4s epic quadrupedal form; no green lickers; removing or changing epic cutscenes (although they added some cool ones); no AB scenarios 3R. - Total trainwreck, Jill sucks; Nemesis becomes a jobber, no Gravedigger, no Clocktower, no cemetery, no Dead Factory, no Mercenaries, Brad death sucks; no live choices... Can't believe they release a game 20 years later that is smaller than its predecessor. 4R - Salazar is fogettable, Krauser history and motivationa suck; Saddler sucks; Verdugo is weak; Wesker acts more as Adas big brother. Literally every iconic villain was toned down on that game.
What should the Ivy's have been like? More plant looking? No Insta-kill attack? I'm all for that. From what I saw in OG 2 they just stood in place waiting for you.
@@frankkennedy6388 I think the original ones were fine. The more plant looking design was badass and I really wanted to see that frightening grapple/vomiting toxins all over the character body attack in the Remake. Maybe a bit faster would be cool. But I liked them as those tower-like very resilient enemies that always stood on small corridors and corners guarding important places and were dangerous to maneuver even being slow.
Also for 3R is no environmental storytelling. Everything gets explained to you, while in 3, you see all these corpses hugging each other or being part of the scenery according to what enemies there were.
1R isn't perfect lmao, easily worst of the 3 good remakes. Spider removal isn't that bad, they are in 2 hallways, if you think that's an issue, you are just nitpicking honestly.
I think I once heard that the reason CapCom didn't add giant spiders to the RE2 and RE3 remakes is because of people with arachnophobia but I'm not a 100% sure if that was true or not.
Just imagine a giant spider in a dark hallway, way more realistic graphic, the better sounds and the overall darker atmosphere... Hell no im not playing that
@@userisfree small spiders alone are sometimes enough to freak someone with arachnophobia up and adding giant ones? With more realistic hair? Better movements? Better sound? Hell no
I always dislike alternative choices in the original trilogy, mainly because there was no actual consistent storytelling. Giving Ada more of a conscious in 4 let's her to be more than a double agent in the beautiful red dress. Her character truly shines in Separate Ways.
Removing laser sight from all the guns in RE4 remake and only a few pistols having it, is something that don't like at all, most guns that were OP are terrible to aim now, probably they will remove from RE5 remake e RE6 remake asswell.
@@userisfree the reason why I complain is because aiming is terrible in the remake/reimagination, red9, handcannon, tpm, the aim with those guns is terrible, and they were great in the OG RE4. The same thing probably will happen with RE5 if they remove all laser sights.
@@userisfree we talking about games RE4 remake, not real life, aiming in the remake is terrible not because of recoil, but because of the reticule aim that opens up, and make you lose precision while aiming.
@@gabbzzvieira1829 at least it makes you to aim and not spam bullets. That's the point of the reticle and also makes it realistic bc you don't immediately just shoot, you have to aim. It also stops bullet spamming
I said it once and I say it again. "Resident Evil 3 Remake The Definitive Experience" with all the missing content added into the game would sell great!
I get that but removing iconic lines actually makes it more realistic bc in the original, leon talks as if this is just a walk in the park but in the remake it feels more natural and feels like he's on a mission. Yea, it does however made the dialogue bland.
I'd agree with you if it wasn't for the fact after you rescue her on the island all of Ashley's lines are about her having fun and excitement about their adventures.
2:40 A lot of games deliberately don't include spiders because of people with arachnophobia. They're trying to sell as many copies of the game as possible, after all.
Please explain how if you are an npc and get bite by a zombie u turn into one but.... If you are the protagonist you can use a herb or First aid spray Shouldn't u be able to solve the crisis with herbs and sprays lol
Couple reasons. 1) Damage is only a gameplay feature. Canonically no main character gets bit or infected except Jill from Nemesis 2) The playable characters in outbreak games are infected, but green herbs reduce and slow infection rate.
If you put an item inside a box, it will not appear inside another box. This brief line inspired the worst entry in the Resident Evil series - yes, 0 is FAR worse than RE3R, Revelations 2 and even RE6 and Dead Aim. Fun first, logic second. The golden rule of video games.
@@Matheus-ue1qb I personally didn’t mind RE0 all that much. Yeah I understand why everybody complains about it and I even agree with many of their complaints, but it doesn’t get under my skin like it does other people’s. Except for the Mimicry Marcus, I don’t know what the hell Capcom was thinking when they made them: they’re such a pain in the ass to kill, and God help you if you have to kill one and Rebecca’s the only character you’re able to use because you’re gonna die so many times until you finally manage to luck out and kill it. Also a more minor complaint I have about the game is that Rebecca can be killed in way less hits than Billy, like to the point where if she’s hit three times it’s game over. I get that they’re trying to establish Billy’s the more physically stronger character of the two and Rebecca is more intellectually stronger, as seen with Billy not being able to craft herbs (which is admittedly pretty stupid too, if Chris can do it then Billy should be able to), but I feel like with health related mechanics it should be equal to the other character regardless of what would happen “if this was real” because there are moments in the game where they aren’t with each other and if you’re playing as Rebecca it can be really hard to get past certain enemies because of how easy it is for her to die.
The illusion behind these games is that the characters don’t get hurt unless it’s in cutscenes,they don’t grab herbs or sprays,that’s something they add as a gameplay mechanic
I honestly feel like if the fanbase didn't just completely gush over the 2 remake and pointed out it's flaws then RE3R wouldn't have been so wildly different from the original.
That's outright false. 2/3r was being developed in parallel. Irrespective of the reception for 2, 3 was almost complete and no U turn would have been feasible that late into development.
The reason the spiders were removed in the remakes is likely due to arachnophobia, nowadays game developers don’t want to scare away costumers who are afraid of spiders
As Someone who never played and experienced the OG RE3 Nemesis, after learning of what they cut and changed really makes me appreciate the remake little less now. But overall I still think it’s a really good game but a poor remake IMO
I was hoping to see the marshalling yard expanded in RE2make, because in the original is probably my favorite part. The atmosphere is calm but eerie and it's pretty much the last time you'll see the exterior before entering the underground lab, makes you think everything youve gone through up to that moment... In the remake it's sloppily merged with the sewers part and it loses what made it special.
I'm glad you mentioned how they ruined they Krauser in the remake. In the original he's this badass who doesn't need to talk much but toys with Leon. You can see that he still respects Leon. In the remake he's this shouty cringey edgelord. Hated his dialogue. Also I hated RE3 remake didn't have mercenaries mode. It was just down right lazy. The original improved the battle modes from the original games, and made them a staple going forward. So much potential for different missions, routes and character load outs etc. Just horrible and lazy
@@JarvisCosric885oh that sounds ace! That reminds me of 7 with the neuro rounds. 4’s a great remake and hopefully code Veronica or 5 is next and is done justice
Agreed. Also, I personally would love to see Code Veronica remake done justice and with love, passion and maximum effort put into it especially since Code Veronica is my favorite RE game other than RE4
@@JarvisCosric885the original 3 is the worst of the original trilogy. It's a 2 hour game(if you take your time) with no substance and feels very rushed because it was a very rushed game. The live selection part was probably the most shallow way of hiding how fast they made it.
The only part of Krauser in OG RE4 that was better was the voice acting. It’s delusional to think he’s better as a character because he basically is just some random guy in the RE4 story with no real explanation.
Few things i wanna say: 1: Resident Evil 1 is kinda more like a Remaster than a Remake cause aside from the changed dialogue and addition of Lisa Trevor, Crimson Heads and some areas, almost everything else is still the same. 2: I think the removal of spiders might be due to Arachnophobia and having it in such size and detail would panicked alot of people. 3: My biggest disappointment in RE2R was the zapping system too plus separate route, while it did remain almost separate during the police station, it becomes the same in the Nest, meaning whatever you did in Route A would be same in Route B where you also fight the same boss. 4: Removal of so many content in RE3R was the biggest disappointment, gone are the RPD, Clock Tower, park and giant worm boss fight. 5: Didn't quite like the new VA for Ada in RE4R but i think Remake version of Ada was alright, like the OG dress better though, unethical, but it looked good. 6: I would also agree that Nemesis in RE3R was disappointing. It felt more like a boss fight than a powerful enemy who stalks you, what was best in the OG is that you cannot 100% tell when and where he might appear outside of scripted events.
I hate that they replaced the Dead Factory in RE3R with another NEST, like 2 underground factories working RC is crazy overkill for Umbrella and stupid. In the old RE3 it wasn’t just some secret facility, it was a rundown overencumbered factory that wasn’t sleek, it felt industrial and wasn’t flashy, it was perfect for the city landscape setting the whole game led up to
My personal gripes with the remakes. 10. Stalker enemies, it was a nice feature at first, but I feel it quickly wore out it's welcome. 9. Characters/enemies redesign, now don't get me wrong. Some of the zombies look amazing, but the hunters in the sewers just looked silly. Claire's new face didn't look good compared to her code veronica design. 8. Less gore in RE3 remake, from zombies limbs not being blown off to a blue filter on the game over screen RE3 remake kinda feels tame. 7. No violence control in RE2 remake. I first played re2 on the n64 and was surprised that you could turn the violence off to medium or to high. But in the remake, it's mostly set to medium. The remake had this flashing to black in the death animations that I didn't really care for. 6. Outfit changes for female characters in the name of being "realistic", for some reason this always gets backlash for daring to want a female character to be both bad ass, good looking, and sexy. I always enjoyed the original outfits in RE3 and RE2 and even RE4, yet they changed them for the worst in my opinion. Here's hoping they don't back out of "realistic designs" when it comes to RE5 which is based in Africa. 5. Voice acting and dialogue change in RE4, though most people will say Ada's voice actress failed, which she did, Kraser, Salazar, and Louis had some bad voice acting, and some dialogue being changed didn't help. I do miss that ballistic line. 4. Infinite ammo being locked behind hard difficulty. Why couldn't they do what the old RE did beat the game in under set time to unlock it or have it in mercenary mode as a thing you can buy. Most of the time if I beat a game on the hardest choice I'm going for the platinum, but once I do beat it I'm not really going to want to replay it afterwards. 3. Cut content in RE3, everyone knows that it is bs. 2. No orginal nemesis skin for RE3 remake, you can unlock Jill's stars outfit and her "orginal" re3 outfit but nemesis doesn't get his orginal design. I am jealous of PC being able to mod it in. 1. Unnecessary side content as a replacement for removed features. I didn't care for the re versus mode or the one with the masterminds in it. RE doesn't need a PvP mode in it. Those are my opinions of changes I didn't care for. If you're going to comment on #6 and #5 in a negative way cause it's not your cup of tea, save your time. I'm probably not going to respond to it.
Downgrading Nemesis is huge mistake of remake, more than the cut content veterans vocaly discussed. Perhaps the big loss came from high expectation from the success of RE2 remake (expecialy from MR.X performance), and second many rumour about AI Nemesis spreaded on internet which buzzed it would be more intimidated, more terror, and more skilled. After the final release, all the expectation fall down in deep descent. ACTUALLY the best Nemesis in my opinion is it could appeard in random places by some conditions applied, not just singular scripted. Plus, if they would add "life scenarios choise", it would be the best villain ever 😅😅😅
Funny no one says re3 has too many options but RE3 has too little 😂 9:00 easily the worst addition was her casting. I didnt get any kind of personality from her lines. Just cold apathy. Came across like "gimme a paycheck"
I don't even like the new content in the RE Remake... it's just a retrofit/retcon to introduce concept features of the later crapper RE's (Veronica, RE0, RE4). There is no black goo, parasites, multiple CEO's and "head parasites" in the original storyline. The closet thing in the original story was pure affected G-Virus victims could implant part of the G-Virus that would turn parasitic to survive. You also forget that in the original RE2 Scenario A, boarding up windows or closing shutters protects areas in scenario B.
Yeah Ada in the remake of 4 is lame especially her voice. It just doesn't sound like Ada anymore. Despite the different actresses over the years they kept Ada consistent. That isn't the case on 4.
Yeah, I might be the only one but I'm not at all bumbed about the spiders missing. I can play horror games on my own, lights out at night in the dark and still sleep well. Spiders just give me actual anxiety, not the fun jump scares i get from the zombies and other monsters or even ghosts. If they bring the spiders back i do hope theres a arachnaphobia mode. The last stage plaga were just bairly manageable for me..😅😅😅
Nice video. The only thing I disagree is when you said Nemesis's stalker encounter was worse than Lady D's. When Lady D does stalk you (non-scripted scenes) it's in a few rooms in the castle which you can just run out of the castle to the church and she disappears. With Nemesis's stalker encounter the game at least forces you to run around for a little bit (run to the subway office to activate the train coordinates and run back to the subway station). By far in my opinion Lady D was the weakest stalker enemy out of the newer RE games/timeline
One thing I'll never understand about RE4R is to upgrade Luis and Ashley they had to downgrade Krauser, Ada, Salazar, and Saddler. Not an equal trade tbh.
Krauser being changed in RE4R was the biggest fk up ever. He working with Wesker was also the best, and Krauser killing Luis was dumb, Leon while still having hope for him, knew he had to take him out to rescue Ashley.
@@Peer165 because it makes more sense why Krauser found about los illuminados, why he obeyed Saddler, why he is there in the first place, and to keep an eye on ada. True they never showed wesker and Krauser together but the remakes could’ve done something about it. Krauser is basically a Wesker Jr.
even the original re1 had different paths for chris and jill. it annoys me that they made both characters take identical routes in the remake. it was even worse in re2r when they had the nerve to lable 4 scenarios that were all exactly the same. they should have improved on these separate routes in both games, but they instead chose to remove it entirely.
My presumption is, the RE3 Remake they cut down the branching storylines and tried to stream it down to follow the cannon path to fit in with the rest of the series. The OG has it chance to explore other possibilities as later entries weren't being make yet. It might sounds like I defending the Remakes here but for the cut locations, it kind of made sense(to me) that the puzzle mission at the clock tower was cut as it wouldn't align with the story where there will be no more air rescue in the city, so there was no point fixing the clock tower bell to ring for a rescue chopper as they moved the chopper crash scene to the parking garage rooftop at the beginning. And instead, extending the hospital section for Carlos when in the original was kind of too short, IMO. As for the 'Grave Digger' during the parking lot basement and the cemetery, they got replaced with the longer sewer sections and other variations of 'Hunter'. For the enemies, I think they combined the 'Drain Deimos' during the power substation with the 'Giant Spiders' in the RE3 Remake as they shared many similarities, this might be why they cut the spiders out. Not to mentioned that the Remake Nemesis is much more scripted compared to the OG. And it wasn't make sense in the RE3 OG for Nemesis to chase after Carlos as he was specifically programed to hunt down S.T.A.R.S members, not the UBCS, and only about to fight back when provoked with rocket launcher by Carlos(This part I misinterpreted that the Nemesis chased Carlos, but he wasn’t. Carlos just needed to fight him before he reach Jill in the chapel) And I got to agree with the mass here that replacing the 'Dead Factory' with the 'NEST 2' in the remake was kind of messed up and lazy, with Nikolai's faith felt much less satisfying than the OG RE3. Also the obvious worse remake character must be Annette Birkin, Sherry’s mom. Like, the lack of awareness about the outbreak in the lab and above on the city streets and only focus on her work is too much of a cartoon villain and unnatural. When in the OG RE2, she seemed more to care about her own daughter and aware of the situations around her. Added: As the overall play through for both RE2 or RE3 are shorter, like each of them can be finish within 6 hours. I presumed it was intentionally mimicking that characters have to escape before the morning when the nuke about to hit the city. If it took longer than that, it means they won’t realistically survive out of Raccoon City.
Actually Nemesis isn't chasing after Carlos. In fact, if you leave him alone for enough time, he will ignore you and will head to the chapel's door where Jill is. And if you don't stop him, he will break the door and kill her
@@ocdman3910 Well, I guess I got this one wrong then. I guess I had provoke fight Nemesis during Carlos part in the OG RE3, made me think the Nemesis chase after me. Thanks for the clarification.
And Nemesis has always been thought of as a creature so intelligent that would kill anyone who stood on his way to the target, even someone who was actually trying to kill the target in question as well (Nicholai). This ofc because Nemesis couldn't distinguish whether the target got in contact with an ally or a foe, and as such he thought of every person that Jill talked to as one of her allies
@@ocdman3910 I see, that also made sense in the OG branch where Nicholai got killed by Nemesis. And that was much better than in the remake where he just being left to get nuked.
@@tayntp true, true. Ehh, there are so many things that can be easily pointed out as inferior in 3R...from Jill being turned into a loud, brash, edgy, confrontational clone of Alice, to the major cuts, it's all just a very bad mess. 2R on the surface fared better, but it's actually plagued by the same issues, they're just more subtle. 4R did a better job as a remake than 2R and 3R, and did improve on some things over the original, but at the same time it also stupidly made some things worse just for the sake of change (at least, that's the only "valid" reason that comes to my mind when trying to understand why Capcom would have wanted to make such changes in the first place🤦🏻♂️)
3:13 I've head, and can believe given the state Re7 launched on, the RE Engine does _not_ handle hair physics well. What's really frustrating is there are cobwebs all over the sewers in Re3R; it seems to me they sincerely planned to introduce Web Spinners and then didn't, possibly because of how rushed Re3R ended up being.
I'm of the opinion that a remake should never outright remove or alter things, otherwise it should officially be recognized as something else, like a reimagining instead. Which is basically the case for most modern "remakes".
A bit of a correction on the Barry saving Jill part, that entirely depended on if you got the broken shotgun or not, if you got the broken shotgun you would replace the good shotgun on the wall mantle with the broken shotgun deactivating the triggered trap which prevents Barry from saving you, but if you don't grab the broken shotgun Barry will come save you if you take the good shotgun without using the broken shotgun which keeps the trap activated.
Number 9 is wrong, while there aren’t any spiders in re2, there are spiders in re3. In the power section when you fry the nest after switching on all the panels. The climb on walls and you get deephthroated by one💀
Luis’s death in the remake was still trash compared to the original plus saddler had very small parts in the remake and one of the more disappointing cuts was the cage mini game on the island even though they did put u-3 in the game I feel like it’s just not the same
@@johnlawful2272 so your saying a dinky knife to the back was better than him being impaled and slammed to the ground please elaborate how that’s better than his original death
Wrong @joshthornley, the meat growtas with Saddler doesn't work, but Luis helps Leon until Luis gets killed from Krauser knife. Good part in Resident Evil 4 remake after beating Krauser, you get Krauser knife unlike the original version you don't get Krauser knife only a cut scenes that it.
@joshthornley4727 Thought so Krauser knife is good after beating Krauser first in Resident Evil 4 remake and good part no time limited to beat Krauser in the original RE 4.
Personally I liked remake ada, I don’t think it made her less intelligent. She didn’t realize how many people it was going to kill and she is not turning into a “good” character. Capcop is trying to show she isn’t all bad and she does care for the world and leon some what and I don’t think that’s necessarily bad.
Removal of A & B scenarios in RE2R is what prevents it from reaching the masterpiece status imo. It really is a shame, that this part of the OG game was not explored more
I'm okay with the spiders being gone. For one I'm arachnophobic and it feels like a really cheap way of scaring folks like us. Spiders are EVERYWHERE even in Skyrim. They aren't that interesting to go against. Seriously, replace them with Scorpions and that would be WAY better.
You forgot to mention, which is a big deal to Old School Resident Evil fans was the removal of Jill Valentine’s skirt in the original RE3 Nemisis from Ps2. The remake she has on pants. Beating the remake on a certain difficulty, she has shorts. I feel like if the characters from the original games has certain looks and attires on, that legacy/tradition should be respected. I agree with everything you pointed out.
Yeah I understand where you're coming from, but correct me if I'm wrong, but they do have a classic costume unlockable. I can't really tell if it's a skirt or shorts in that "classic" outfit but I'm at least certain it looks similar enough to fulfill our requests there. As for why they switched from skirt to pants/short; probably because it doesn't seem very practical. The things Jill does throughout the events of Resident Evil 3 doesn't exactly seem plausible to do while wearing a skirt lol
I dont think "capcom hates spiders" is a very good argument. We had spiders and especially had a very gross Spider type bossfight in RE7 with Marguerite. And yes we have seen spiders in the current engine. In RE7. Technically they are quite small but stull.
With the better graphics and the darker atmosphere and as someone who freaks out by just a small spider I can't express enough happiness for the lack of spiders
Who said only Krauser was a part of operation Javier? He even said to Leon: "Have you forgotten what happened two years ago?" And Leon answered: "Operation Javier?" I mean, Krauser answered, that his entire unit was wiped out, but who says Leon wasn't with him and he's the only one with Krauser who survived? In the fight later in the game, he even asked: "Remember the fight in the jungle? We barley made it out alive." And I'm pretty sure he means operation Javier, because you can clearly see the jungle in a few cutscenes in operation Javier.
Regarding Krauser, to be fair, most of his backstory was not in the original RE4 (Operation Javier was not even a thing back then) and his connection with Wesker was pretty much retconned with RE5. I think the same applies to Ada backstabbing Wesker, I'm pretty sure this was only changed when RE5 came out to not make her look as bad. These changes are mainly there to make the overall story more coherent with RE5.
The Sides A and B are the biggest downside to the Remake, feeling like the same game just with small changes. While the Original had the Zap mechanic and completely different sections that both Leon and Claire can do. And as for RE3 Remake, it's cut content is what kills it most. Sure it's a fun game to play every now and then. But when people heard of an RE3 Remake in the works. We were all thinking of what would the clocktower be like, what would the streets be like, What would this enemy be like and so on. And more importantly, what would Nemesis be like. Sadly we get a DLC for RE2 Remake. The amount of content that was removed is what kills it. And i feel Nemesis mutates far too quickly to be fun. He mutates after the first boss fight you have with him. And his stalker status said in this video is lost. If we had a carbon Copy of the OG RE3 and give us Remake Nemesis. Then the kings crown would be back, because i do find the Remake Nemesis to be the best. But the worst in terms of gameplay. If he was more like Mr-X and stalked you throughout the games like he did. Then he would have been a great enemy. But with all the cut content. It just wasn't a thing.
14:13 "Operation Javier" didn't exist in OG RE4. In the original game, Krauser essentially comes out of the woodwork and Leon somehow knows him.The whole Javier story was created in "The Darkside Chronicles" to try and fill the gaps left by RE4's shoddy writing (and before anyone attacks me for this, Shinji Mikami himself said the story was RE4's weakest point because he wrote it himself while in a hurry and hoped the remake was going to improve it - which it did). The RE4make writers actually did one hell of a job fixing a lot of the plot, and Krauser was one of the things they improved.
I’m conflicted on the RE4 Remake. I like the ability to move around while aiming, the story is better, and I like the new guns. But I feel the mechanics are worst than the original, especially the round house kick, which felt nerfed compared to the original.
I know others might disagree. But i actually really like ada in both the remake and the original. Heck i think the remake gives her more character to be honest. But i feel like she haven't been changed that much. She still has the anti hero my opinion. As for krauser. Krauser if I remember, leon still was a part of the javer mission. Krauser saids somthing like remember the fight in the jungle, we barely made it out alive. Leon saids how could I forget. So i think that's still cannon. The only thing that I don't think is cannon is him working with wesker and ada
I agree. If you remove the charm of the original (whatever it may represent) it´s a bad remake. Pretty graphics don´t do it for me at all. My main gripe is the voice acting direction of the remakes (not the voice actors). It´s bland and boring, soulles. I felt it especially in the RE4 Remake. Leon in the original was cool and more mature. The remake makes him a depressed, too serious young guy.
Ada became more dull. Missed the flirtatious talks between her and Leon. Some people say its because they wanted to use a more realistic approach, but even some of the dialogue they use is not realistic or never would some people ever use it. They pretty much played it safe to no offend others.
For me Re4 remake's saddler and salazar feel like worse versions that there OG ones. The O.G versions were always taunting you and made their presence known. It helped build tension between leon and even you the player. Cause all you want is to kill them and when you do it feels rewarding. In remake they rarely show up and you forget about them pretty quick.
When Spiders make their reappearance in a future RE game. I know that with the new RE engine will make them very unnerving and terrifying to encounter them again
With number 8, in the original when Barry asks if he should go first you in the tunnels CAN answer yes. You just have to make sure to follow him through the same door after you hear the gunshot. If you don’t follow him through the same door, then he will die. Also, with Chris’s scenario in the original you can avoid needing to save Rebecca from the Hunter if you a). meet Rebecca in the medical storage save room, and b). say yes when Rebecca asks if she can come with you.
I still dont like the redesign of Nemesis. Hate the nose and the extra long flat teeth. Its not the worst look but compared to the original.. yeah. The outfit it cool though, I liked it more than a lot of people. Hastily thrown together and wrapped up seems more creepy and realistic than the black leather-looking suit. I hate how slow it acts in the remake.
For lore wise, I kinda hate how Re1 and Re2 remake turned out. It hurts my head to imagine which is canon. For example (RE1 remake) Barry literally missing if you play Chris gameplay, and who is the one fighting with lisa trevor canonically? For Re2 remake, it is just repeating formula with RE1 remake like did anette died in front of sherry after she shot Ada or what? And who the heck defeat birkin 1st and 2nd transformation canonically?! How frustrated I am when I finished RE2 remake 4 times with the same repeating scenarios. The OG re2 makes the storyline way better. For RE3 remake, quite a shame as the gameplay is really fun but NOT replayable (unless wanted to try different difficulties) although they are many cut contents. 5 hours length like Ada and Rose DLC lol! The remake doesn't really visit raccoon city at all compared to the OG. How I wish they cancelled the ReResistance project because i think that because of that project, Re3 remake cut a lot of content lol (just to make my mind to accept the shorter length of re3 remake). For real, i really wish the pipe puzzle, clock towers, grave digger boss is back lol. For the spiders I think it would be hard for the RE engine cause the crocodile one from re2 remake, i remember they said it was hard to make that thing. If thats the case, the deadline is the problem i guess 🤷. They shouldn't rush 😢 Btw, Your top 10s always have the same agreement with me which why i love your videos.
1r has no coherent narrative. It repeated the same mistakes as the original with two canonically incompatible mirrored campaigns. Worse yet is the omitted canonical ending in which all 5 STARS members escape the rooftop.
I'm not sure if it'd classify as a change as much as a "missed opportunity", but Jill was initially a bit more hostile to Carlos in the original game, almost interrogating him on why he was there when Umbrella was the one who had started everything. Heck, the SD Perry novel even has her point a gun in his face and grow REALLY hostile towards him, almost disbelieve his intentions for a while before coming around. Outside of a single line of disbelief about Umbrella sending in a squad to help, she doesn't show any actual resistance to cooperating with "Umbrella workers" like she showed signs of in the original. Granted, Carlos had just blasted Nemesis in the face with a rocket launcher to save her, but I think in retrospect, it's still unrealistic that she'd be on the side of people associated with the company that effectively ruined her life so quickly. Better storytelling opportunity is all I'm saying.

Re3 remake will forever be the one remake that let me down the most. With all the lore and even comics for it, there was so much potential for it that it could've been the best remake if Capcom stood faithful towards it.

@@prodigal_rebel_2062 A remake can't have cut content. It's a remake therefore nothing is on the table outside of the general premise.
REmake 3 was objectively better
@@getshwiftygaming447 wrong its the worst remake of all game not to bad 64% bad 36% good
Personally, I think the removal of the zapping system of RE2 and Live Selection of RE3 were the biggest disappointments in terms of changed content. Though, while Barry's changes in RE to RE1R were noticeable with his simpler interactions, I think RE2R deserves another spot on the list: the fact that you only see the other character twice throughout the entire game (once at the start, where they're waiting outside the gate, and once at the end, where they talk over a computer). In the original RE2, you felt the other character's presence. They'd call you on the radio, they'd meet you in certain hallways, etc. It felt like you were actually working together with them to find a safe way out of the police station.
Clearly the biggest let down from the remake, the zapping system and the AB scenarios were tied together it felt satisfying to consider that both characters were facing different odds at the same time. In the remake it's either Claire's story or Leon's
I've never played the B scenario but the Idea of the zapping system actually blows my mind. In the remake, it doesn't matter what choices you do bc it doesn't link up but to b able to make decisions that affects the 2nd run actually makes sense and actually feels like both leon and claire is on the same place.
No you see them 3 times not 2
RE3 deserved better. Its a shame that one of my favourite REs from the fixed camera games ended up getting the short end of the remake stick. Such a shame...
Exactly, almost like they did it in a hurry 😂
I don't think it can be classified as a remake as, it didn't remake anything. Its a reimagining , the same way Umbrella Chronicles and Operation Raccoon city reimagined the story.
It really pisses me off because ik we could've gotten such an AMAZING GAME. The remake would be so much better and actually make people think it's better than re2
@@hudsonja it is but it could've been better and obviously more fun and more replay value because of the live selection.

I could be wrong, but I think Leon was there during Operation Javier in the Remake. I remember one of the dialogue being something like:
Krauser: "Remember that jungle, we barely made it out alive"
Leon: "How could i forget"
I always thought this implied he was there too
Leon was present during Operation Javier. It's one of the reasons Krauser despise Leon in the original.
It's also playable in The Darkside Chronicles.
I was really annoyed that Claire’s intro in re 2 remake wasn’t in Emmy’s diner like the original
Re3 feels like a fever dream, it is unbelievable how much they changed the game for bad.
It's not so much what they changed for the bad as what they cut..... The og had far greater replay value due to the areas that were cut, but the extension of some of the uncut areas was, while less than well executed, not terrible
Even more unbelievable how WELL RE3 Remake sold.

I don’t agree with your Krauser take. I believe his change in the remake was needed. Not being Wesker’s goon made him more a more. Complete character. Having an actual backstory, as opposed to being some random character just dropped into the story, is refreshing.
It is unfortunate that in the OG RE4, Krauser gets dropped into the game with all this backstory between him and Leon that didn’t get any real detail until Darkside Chronicles. He’s made up to be a significant character in Leon’s life without much explanation why. The added backstory in the remake was much needed.
@@thenightrider2121 there is no backstory or buildup in the OG one, the remake makes a bit more sense but that's all
Agreed on Krauser losing his men in O.J. only leaving Krauser and Leon, the only survivor. Making Krauser joining Saddler to get revenge for his men.
he has an actual backstory
OG krauser was legendary I dunno what are you talking about, if anything the mentor shit in the remake is way more forgettable.
Ada is my favorite part of 4 Remake. They didn't make her a good person, they made her anti-hero. In the original she was villain.
No mention of the stun lock hit animations??

losing all health or even dieing from multi hits just because u are locked from a hit!

They ruined Ada too; I honestly have a hard time deciding whether Re3R or Re4R is a worse remake. 3R at least doesn't massively break the rest of the franchise.
Personally I disagree with all y'all I like krauser and plus think about it in the original he works for Wesker so in the grand scheme of things he's nothing more than wesker's lap dog in the original but that's just my opinion I like new krauser although don't get it twisted I still love OG krauser
I think in the remake with Jill's response to Barry's more casual sandwich joke it does get a chuckle out of me when she turns to barry with a sigh saying "Really... thanks." it still gives me a chuckle.
They have seem to gone back to that joke existing since in Revelations 2 Claire Redfield and Moira Burton mention the famous cringe joke to Moira's hate for it however for context in the story she doesn't get along with her father after a certain event that I wont spoil.

@@dansmith1661 what?
How did remake Krauser even find out about Los Illuminados? At least when he worked for Wesker it was Wesker gathering intel on Los Illuminados, likely with aid from groups like TriCell, and the whole point was to get the dominant plaga sample and get out of dodge, he just needed something to buy Saddler's trust, that being the abduction of Ashley.
For me pretty much everything about the RE3 remake was a negative. Right down to Nemesis looking like he was wearing electrical tape.
That's why they shouldn't have disconnected Krauser from Wesker and Ada. The remake was the perfect opportunity to flesh their partnership out more and Capcom just wasted it.
I think the one that pisses me off the most is both Nemesis and AB scenarios. RE2 remake is ALMOST a masterpiece if it weren't those inconsistent campaigns. I do not appreciate the exact same puzzles and same bosses. And Nemesis? Yeah, you already know.

Honestly, after playing RE1R, I've been incredibly scornful of the remakes. Instead of being faithful, they conform to arbitrary modern gameplay standards. It really doesn't take long to get used to the camera angles of RE1R or the controls of RE4R. It's extremely frustrating how gamers are so averted to anything that requires a learning curve
13:43
I'm glad someone else is saying it, Krauser is _really_ bad in Re4R. He was probably my favorite antagonist in the original series and they ruined everything that made him interesting here.
Krauser's backstory in the REmake is the Tom Clancy novel _Clear and Present Danger_ without Jack Ryan to save the American Special Forces soldiers. If you read a synopsis of the novel, or watch the film (which is not very good, incidentally; Harrison Ford was the worst Jack Ryan), you will see it's the same story.
Krauser's motivations further make no sense. In the original he was injured and discarded by the military and he's unflinchingly loyal to Wesker because Wesker _didn't_ see him as expendable, or at least, Jack didn't realize it. His motivations for serving Wesker make sense and you can tell he's frustrated he can't get Leon on his side. Krauser in the REmake is a willing convert to _Los Illuminados_ for...reasons and spends the entire game telling us how much he hates Leon, which makes it a bit absurd when Krauser insists they're two sides of the same coin, or that we're meant to care this asshole got himself killed.
Agreed, Krauser was downgraded big time (character and VA wise.)
@@theketaminekid1241 So much of the voice talent in this game is bad. Leon and Ashley's VA carry this game; the Merchant, Hunnigan, and Salazar are the only other actors with more than a handful of lines I'd say are even competent.
I agree with this whole take. I was really disappointed with the changes they made to Krauser, since he's one of my favorite villains in the original. I was really looking forward to seeing his relationship with Wesker get fleshed out more, and there were some really interesting ideas behind his motivations in Darkside Chronicles, only for all of that to get tossed aside for a cliched student/teacher scenario with Leon and a new version of Operation Javier that basically copied Chris' story from RE6. I also couldn't take him seriously with his higher-pitched voice after it was so deep in RE4 and DSC.
And these are just a few examples of why REmake 2002 is how it's done - despite the few minor removals.
And why as far as I care to take it: there hasn't been a true Resident Evil since Outbreak File 2 back in 2005; all we've had are ip knockoffs.
This
@Piratebay72185 yeah, they were not that big compared to other removals, c'mon
My list is:
1R - perfect
2R - removal of the spiders; changing Ivy's; changing G4s epic quadrupedal form; no green lickers; removing or changing epic cutscenes (although they added some cool ones); no AB scenarios
3R. - Total trainwreck, Jill sucks; Nemesis becomes a jobber, no Gravedigger, no Clocktower, no cemetery, no Dead Factory, no Mercenaries, Brad death sucks; no live choices... Can't believe they release a game 20 years later that is smaller than its predecessor.
4R - Salazar is fogettable, Krauser history and motivationa suck; Saddler sucks; Verdugo is weak; Wesker acts more as Adas big brother. Literally every iconic villain was toned down on that game.
All of this💯
What should the Ivy's have been like? More plant looking? No Insta-kill attack? I'm all for that. From what I saw in OG 2 they just stood in place waiting for you.
@@frankkennedy6388 I think the original ones were fine. The more plant looking design was badass and I really wanted to see that frightening grapple/vomiting toxins all over the character body attack in the Remake. Maybe a bit faster would be cool. But I liked them as those tower-like very resilient enemies that always stood on small corridors and corners guarding important places and were dangerous to maneuver even being slow.
Also for 3R is no environmental storytelling. Everything gets explained to you, while in 3, you see all these corpses hugging each other or being part of the scenery according to what enemies there were.
1R isn't perfect lmao, easily worst of the 3 good remakes. Spider removal isn't that bad, they are in 2 hallways, if you think that's an issue, you are just nitpicking honestly.
I think I once heard that the reason CapCom didn't add giant spiders to the RE2 and RE3 remakes is because of people with arachnophobia but I'm not a 100% sure if that was true or not.
Would definitely be me

Couple reasons.
1) Damage is only a gameplay feature. Canonically no main character gets bit or infected except Jill from Nemesis
2) The playable characters in outbreak games are infected, but green herbs reduce and slow infection rate.

@@Matheus-ue1qb I personally didn’t mind RE0 all that much. Yeah I understand why everybody complains about it and I even agree with many of their complaints, but it doesn’t get under my skin like it does other people’s. Except for the Mimicry Marcus, I don’t know what the hell Capcom was thinking when they made them: they’re such a pain in the ass to kill, and God help you if you have to kill one and Rebecca’s the only character you’re able to use because you’re gonna die so many times until you finally manage to luck out and kill it.
Also a more minor complaint I have about the game is that Rebecca can be killed in way less hits than Billy, like to the point where if she’s hit three times it’s game over. I get that they’re trying to establish Billy’s the more physically stronger character of the two and Rebecca is more intellectually stronger, as seen with Billy not being able to craft herbs (which is admittedly pretty stupid too, if Chris can do it then Billy should be able to), but I feel like with health related mechanics it should be equal to the other character regardless of what would happen “if this was real” because there are moments in the game where they aren’t with each other and if you’re playing as Rebecca it can be really hard to get past certain enemies because of how easy it is for her to die.
The illusion behind these games is that the characters don’t get hurt unless it’s in cutscenes,they don’t grab herbs or sprays,that’s something they add as a gameplay mechanic
I honestly feel like if the fanbase didn't just completely gush over the 2 remake and pointed out it's flaws then RE3R wouldn't have been so wildly different from the original.
That's outright false. 2/3r was being developed in parallel. Irrespective of the reception for 2, 3 was almost complete and no U turn would have been feasible that late into development.
Perfect video to watch before sleep
The reason the spiders were removed in the remakes is likely due to arachnophobia, nowadays game developers don’t want to scare away costumers who are afraid of spiders
Yeah but I'm afraid of spiders found the remade spiders and black tiger in the remake good. It's just a game.....
As Someone who never played and experienced the OG RE3 Nemesis, after learning of what they cut and changed really makes me appreciate the remake little less now. But overall I still think it’s a really good game but a poor remake IMO
Nah tbh I think it’s because it’ll trigger people arachnophobia 😂 on the new engine
With the new graphics it would legitimately kill me seing the spiders 😂
Two things I've learned, the idiots at Capcom doesn't know how to program headshots and spiders.
I was hoping to see the marshalling yard expanded in RE2make, because in the original is probably my favorite part. The atmosphere is calm but eerie and it's pretty much the last time you'll see the exterior before entering the underground lab, makes you think everything youve gone through up to that moment... In the remake it's sloppily merged with the sewers part and it loses what made it special.
I'm glad you mentioned how they ruined they Krauser in the remake. In the original he's this badass who doesn't need to talk much but toys with Leon.
You can see that he still respects Leon.
In the remake he's this shouty cringey edgelord. Hated his dialogue.
Also I hated RE3 remake didn't have mercenaries mode. It was just down right lazy. The original improved the battle modes from the original games, and made them a staple going forward.
So much potential for different missions, routes and character load outs etc. Just horrible and lazy
As someone with arachnophobia, no spiders is an A+ for me lol
Lol I feel you there
Indeed. I wouldn't have been able to play either game if they had spiders
@@alexgmplays8222 There were rumors going around about them being in the RE3 remake and I almost cancelled my pre-order 😭
Same I couldn’t play with those huge spiders with updated graphics,don’t even wanna play 7 cause of Mrs baker and her bugs
I remember getting RE3 remake during lockdown. Was so excited for something to do. Did it in one evening 😞. Felt like it was only half done.
3 was too short! I never played the original and thought the remake was okay. Glad I didn’t play the original so that I was even more disappointed lol
The original RE3 is a trillion times better. Plus I miss using the freeze rounds in the original RE3
@@JarvisCosric885oh that sounds ace! That reminds me of 7 with the neuro rounds. 4’s a great remake and hopefully code Veronica or 5 is next and is done justice
Agreed. Also, I personally would love to see Code Veronica remake done justice and with love, passion and maximum effort put into it especially since Code Veronica is my favorite RE game other than RE4
@@JarvisCosric885the original 3 is the worst of the original trilogy. It's a 2 hour game(if you take your time) with no substance and feels very rushed because it was a very rushed game. The live selection part was probably the most shallow way of hiding how fast they made it.
The earlier resident evil are short you get rewarded by speed running them
The only part of Krauser in OG RE4 that was better was the voice acting. It’s delusional to think he’s better as a character because he basically is just some random guy in the RE4 story with no real explanation.
he was a wesker man with ada in mission
2:30 THANK GOD THEY GAVE UP ON ADDING SPIDERS TO THE REMAKES 💀
Few things i wanna say:
1: Resident Evil 1 is kinda more like a Remaster than a Remake cause aside from the changed dialogue and addition of Lisa Trevor, Crimson Heads and some areas, almost everything else is still the same.
2: I think the removal of spiders might be due to Arachnophobia and having it in such size and detail would panicked alot of people.
3: My biggest disappointment in RE2R was the zapping system too plus separate route, while it did remain almost separate during the police station, it becomes the same in the Nest, meaning whatever you did in Route A would be same in Route B where you also fight the same boss.
4: Removal of so many content in RE3R was the biggest disappointment, gone are the RPD, Clock Tower, park and giant worm boss fight.
5: Didn't quite like the new VA for Ada in RE4R but i think Remake version of Ada was alright, like the OG dress better though, unethical, but it looked good.
6: I would also agree that Nemesis in RE3R was disappointing. It felt more like a boss fight than a powerful enemy who stalks you, what was best in the OG is that you cannot 100% tell when and where he might appear outside of scripted events.
Question, why does the gameplay you show for the original Resident Evil trilogy look so good. What version are you playing?
It’s from my stream a few weeks ago but it’s the seamless hd project mod on the pc sourcenext port
They removed spiders because they don't want to offend people with arachnophobia. It's stupid.
I hate that they replaced the Dead Factory in RE3R with another NEST, like 2 underground factories working RC is crazy overkill for Umbrella and stupid. In the old RE3 it wasn’t just some secret facility, it was a rundown overencumbered factory that wasn’t sleek, it felt industrial and wasn’t flashy, it was perfect for the city landscape setting the whole game led up to
This list could have literally been nothing but RE3make
My personal gripes with the remakes.
10. Stalker enemies, it was a nice feature at first, but I feel it quickly wore out it's welcome.
9. Characters/enemies redesign, now don't get me wrong. Some of the zombies look amazing, but the hunters in the sewers just looked silly. Claire's new face didn't look good compared to her code veronica design.
8. Less gore in RE3 remake, from zombies limbs not being blown off to a blue filter on the game over screen RE3 remake kinda feels tame.
7. No violence control in RE2 remake. I first played re2 on the n64 and was surprised that you could turn the violence off to medium or to high. But in the remake, it's mostly set to medium. The remake had this flashing to black in the death animations that I didn't really care for.
6. Outfit changes for female characters in the name of being "realistic", for some reason this always gets backlash for daring to want a female character to be both bad ass, good looking, and sexy. I always enjoyed the original outfits in RE3 and RE2 and even RE4, yet they changed them for the worst in my opinion. Here's hoping they don't back out of "realistic designs" when it comes to RE5 which is based in Africa.
5. Voice acting and dialogue change in RE4, though most people will say Ada's voice actress failed, which she did, Kraser, Salazar, and Louis had some bad voice acting, and some dialogue being changed didn't help. I do miss that ballistic line.
4. Infinite ammo being locked behind hard difficulty. Why couldn't they do what the old RE did beat the game in under set time to unlock it or have it in mercenary mode as a thing you can buy. Most of the time if I beat a game on the hardest choice I'm going for the platinum, but once I do beat it I'm not really going to want to replay it afterwards.
3. Cut content in RE3, everyone knows that it is bs.
2. No orginal nemesis skin for RE3 remake, you can unlock Jill's stars outfit and her "orginal" re3 outfit but nemesis doesn't get his orginal design. I am jealous of PC being able to mod it in.
1. Unnecessary side content as a replacement for removed features. I didn't care for the re versus mode or the one with the masterminds in it. RE doesn't need a PvP mode in it.
Those are my opinions of changes I didn't care for. If you're going to comment on #6 and #5 in a negative way cause it's not your cup of tea, save your time. I'm probably not going to respond to it.
'Even Jack Baker'? Jack Baker was great
Downgrading Nemesis is huge mistake of remake, more than the cut content veterans vocaly discussed. Perhaps the big loss came from high expectation from the success of RE2 remake (expecialy from MR.X performance), and second many rumour about AI Nemesis spreaded on internet which buzzed it would be more intimidated, more terror, and more skilled. After the final release, all the expectation fall down in deep descent.
ACTUALLY the best Nemesis in my opinion is it could appeard in random places by some conditions applied, not just singular scripted. Plus, if they would add "life scenarios choise", it would be the best villain ever 😅😅😅
Funny no one says re3 has too many options but RE3 has too little 😂
9:00 easily the worst addition was her casting. I didnt get any kind of personality from her lines. Just cold apathy. Came across like "gimme a paycheck"
No spiders sounds like the best change tbh.
I am kinda thankful that they got rid of the spiders from the og 2 and 3 cause I absolutely hate spiders.
I don't even like the new content in the RE Remake... it's just a retrofit/retcon to introduce concept features of the later crapper RE's (Veronica, RE0, RE4). There is no black goo, parasites, multiple CEO's and "head parasites" in the original storyline. The closet thing in the original story was pure affected G-Virus victims could implant part of the G-Virus that would turn parasitic to survive.
You also forget that in the original RE2 Scenario A, boarding up windows or closing shutters protects areas in scenario B.
Yeah Ada in the remake of 4 is lame especially her voice. It just doesn't sound like Ada anymore. Despite the different actresses over the years they kept Ada consistent. That isn't the case on 4.
Are we sure Krauser wasn’t connected to Wesker in the Remake? Wesker looked at him like something was there before in Separate Ways
Yeah, I might be the only one but I'm not at all bumbed about the spiders missing.
I can play horror games on my own, lights out at night in the dark and still sleep well.
Spiders just give me actual anxiety, not the fun jump scares i get from the zombies and other monsters or even ghosts.
If they bring the spiders back i do hope theres a arachnaphobia mode. The last stage plaga were just bairly manageable for me..😅😅😅
Yes without a arachnophobia mode I'll just straight up die
Nice video. The only thing I disagree is when you said Nemesis's stalker encounter was worse than Lady D's. When Lady D does stalk you (non-scripted scenes) it's in a few rooms in the castle which you can just run out of the castle to the church and she disappears. With Nemesis's stalker encounter the game at least forces you to run around for a little bit (run to the subway office to activate the train coordinates and run back to the subway station). By far in my opinion Lady D was the weakest stalker enemy out of the newer RE games/timeline
One thing I'll never understand about RE4R is to upgrade Luis and Ashley they had to downgrade Krauser, Ada, Salazar, and Saddler. Not an equal trade tbh.
Krauser being changed in RE4R was the biggest fk up ever. He working with Wesker was also the best, and Krauser killing Luis was dumb, Leon while still having hope for him, knew he had to take him out to rescue Ashley.
Krauser in the remake felt more like a character compared to the original
Why is Krauser working with Wesker better? They literally don't show anything with them together.
@@lynxregions6724
An edgy teenage character, whereas in the OG, he is a character who is already fleshed out.
@@Peer165 because it makes more sense why Krauser found about los illuminados, why he obeyed Saddler, why he is there in the first place, and to keep an eye on ada. True they never showed wesker and Krauser together but the remakes could’ve done something about it. Krauser is basically a Wesker Jr.
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. OG Krauser wasn’t a character just some guy in your way
even the original re1 had different paths for chris and jill. it annoys me that they made both characters take identical routes in the remake.
it was even worse in re2r when they had the nerve to lable 4 scenarios that were all exactly the same.
they should have improved on these separate routes in both games, but they instead chose to remove it entirely.
My presumption is, the RE3 Remake they cut down the branching storylines and tried to stream it down to follow the cannon path to fit in with the rest of the series. The OG has it chance to explore other possibilities as later entries weren't being make yet.
It might sounds like I defending the Remakes here but for the cut locations, it kind of made sense(to me) that the puzzle mission at the clock tower was cut as it wouldn't align with the story where there will be no more air rescue in the city, so there was no point fixing the clock tower bell to ring for a rescue chopper as they moved the chopper crash scene to the parking garage rooftop at the beginning. And instead, extending the hospital section for Carlos when in the original was kind of too short, IMO. As for the 'Grave Digger' during the parking lot basement and the cemetery, they got replaced with the longer sewer sections and other variations of 'Hunter'.
For the enemies, I think they combined the 'Drain Deimos' during the power substation with the 'Giant Spiders' in the RE3 Remake as they shared many similarities, this might be why they cut the spiders out. Not to mentioned that the Remake Nemesis is much more scripted compared to the OG. And it wasn't make sense in the RE3 OG for Nemesis to chase after Carlos as he was specifically programed to hunt down S.T.A.R.S members, not the UBCS, and only about to fight back when provoked with rocket launcher by Carlos(This part I misinterpreted that the Nemesis chased Carlos, but he wasn’t. Carlos just needed to fight him before he reach Jill in the chapel)
And I got to agree with the mass here that replacing the 'Dead Factory' with the 'NEST 2' in the remake was kind of messed up and lazy, with Nikolai's faith felt much less satisfying than the OG RE3.
Also the obvious worse remake character must be Annette Birkin, Sherry’s mom. Like, the lack of awareness about the outbreak in the lab and above on the city streets and only focus on her work is too much of a cartoon villain and unnatural. When in the OG RE2, she seemed more to care about her own daughter and aware of the situations around her.
Added: As the overall play through for both RE2 or RE3 are shorter, like each of them can be finish within 6 hours. I presumed it was intentionally mimicking that characters have to escape before the morning when the nuke about to hit the city. If it took longer than that, it means they won’t realistically survive out of Raccoon City.
Actually Nemesis isn't chasing after Carlos. In fact, if you leave him alone for enough time, he will ignore you and will head to the chapel's door where Jill is. And if you don't stop him, he will break the door and kill her
@@ocdman3910 Well, I guess I got this one wrong then. I guess I had provoke fight Nemesis during Carlos part in the OG RE3, made me think the Nemesis chase after me. Thanks for the clarification.
And Nemesis has always been thought of as a creature so intelligent that would kill anyone who stood on his way to the target, even someone who was actually trying to kill the target in question as well (Nicholai).
This ofc because Nemesis couldn't distinguish whether the target got in contact with an ally or a foe, and as such he thought of every person that Jill talked to as one of her allies
@@ocdman3910 I see, that also made sense in the OG branch where Nicholai got killed by Nemesis. And that was much better than in the remake where he just being left to get nuked.
@@tayntp true, true. Ehh, there are so many things that can be easily pointed out as inferior in 3R...from Jill being turned into a loud, brash, edgy, confrontational clone of Alice, to the major cuts, it's all just a very bad mess. 2R on the surface fared better, but it's actually plagued by the same issues, they're just more subtle.
4R did a better job as a remake than 2R and 3R, and did improve on some things over the original, but at the same time it also stupidly made some things worse just for the sake of change (at least, that's the only "valid" reason that comes to my mind when trying to understand why Capcom would have wanted to make such changes in the first place🤦🏻♂️)
I wish capcom would release another remake of the originals that stayed true to the original stories instead of these reimaginings.
3:13
I've head, and can believe given the state Re7 launched on, the RE Engine does _not_ handle hair physics well.
What's really frustrating is there are cobwebs all over the sewers in Re3R; it seems to me they sincerely planned to introduce Web Spinners and then didn't, possibly because of how rushed Re3R ended up being.
Krauser was more Ada than Ada lol
I'm of the opinion that a remake should never outright remove or alter things, otherwise it should officially be recognized as something else, like a reimagining instead. Which is basically the case for most modern "remakes".
A bit of a correction on the Barry saving Jill part, that entirely depended on if you got the broken shotgun or not, if you got the broken shotgun you would replace the good shotgun on the wall mantle with the broken shotgun deactivating the triggered trap which prevents Barry from saving you, but if you don't grab the broken shotgun Barry will come save you if you take the good shotgun without using the broken shotgun which keeps the trap activated.
If they do remake the first resident evil again I hope that Jill sandwich line is in there.
Number 9 is wrong, while there aren’t any spiders in re2, there are spiders in re3. In the power section when you fry the nest after switching on all the panels. The climb on walls and you get deephthroated by one💀
The re2 re4 and dead space remakes are how remakes should be done
Great vid! Agreed on all points! 👍
Luis’s death in the remake was still trash compared to the original plus saddler had very small parts in the remake and one of the more disappointing cuts was the cage mini game on the island even though they did put u-3 in the game I feel like it’s just not the same
Nope Luis was way better in remake . Better than getting stab hentai style by a tentacle in the original
@@johnlawful2272 so your saying a dinky knife to the back was better than him being impaled and slammed to the ground please elaborate how that’s better than his original death
Wrong @joshthornley, the meat growtas with Saddler doesn't work, but Luis helps Leon until Luis gets killed from Krauser knife.
Good part in Resident Evil 4 remake after beating Krauser, you get Krauser knife unlike the original version you don't get Krauser knife only a cut scenes that it.
@@Twilight17Petkoton that’s actually a plausible argument his knife is pretty good
@joshthornley4727 Thought so Krauser knife is good after beating Krauser first in Resident Evil 4 remake and good part no time limited to beat Krauser in the original RE 4.
Personally I liked remake ada, I don’t think it made her less intelligent. She didn’t realize how many people it was going to kill and she is not turning into a “good” character. Capcop is trying to show she isn’t all bad and she does care for the world and leon some what and I don’t think that’s necessarily bad.
Removal of A & B scenarios in RE2R is what prevents it from reaching the masterpiece status imo. It really is a shame, that this part of the OG game was not explored more
Let's Hope CrapCom learns their lesson with the upcoming remakes, but I doubt it
I'm okay with the spiders being gone. For one I'm arachnophobic and it feels like a really cheap way of scaring folks like us. Spiders are EVERYWHERE even in Skyrim. They aren't that interesting to go against. Seriously, replace them with Scorpions and that would be WAY better.
You forgot to mention, which is a big deal to Old School Resident Evil fans was the removal of Jill Valentine’s skirt in the original RE3 Nemisis from Ps2. The remake she has on pants. Beating the remake on a certain difficulty, she has shorts. I feel like if the characters from the original games has certain looks and attires on, that legacy/tradition should be respected. I agree with everything you pointed out.
Yeah I understand where you're coming from, but correct me if I'm wrong, but they do have a classic costume unlockable. I can't really tell if it's a skirt or shorts in that "classic" outfit but I'm at least certain it looks similar enough to fulfill our requests there. As for why they switched from skirt to pants/short; probably because it doesn't seem very practical. The things Jill does throughout the events of Resident Evil 3 doesn't exactly seem plausible to do while wearing a skirt lol
I dont think "capcom hates spiders" is a very good argument. We had spiders and especially had a very gross Spider type bossfight in RE7 with Marguerite. And yes we have seen spiders in the current engine. In RE7. Technically they are quite small but stull.
One other thing nemesis is so weak in the remake,really even in inferno difficulty you just trow a grenade on his feet and he gets inta killed
Not really killed but I get your point.
With the better graphics and the darker atmosphere and as someone who freaks out by just a small spider I can't express enough happiness for the lack of spiders
Who said only Krauser was a part of operation Javier?
He even said to Leon:
"Have you forgotten what happened two years ago?"
And Leon answered:
"Operation Javier?"
I mean, Krauser answered, that his entire unit was wiped out, but who says Leon wasn't with him and he's the only one with Krauser who survived?
In the fight later in the game, he even asked:
"Remember the fight in the jungle? We barley made it out alive."
And I'm pretty sure he means operation Javier, because you can clearly see the jungle in a few cutscenes in operation Javier.
The remakes were to make money.
The bottom line was, and is still, the motivation, for these remakes.
RES 3 was a joke.
I miss two things: in RE remake, the “he’s sleeping with the ultimate failure” and the “Morir es vivir” from RE4, is not said as much
Regarding Krauser, to be fair, most of his backstory was not in the original RE4 (Operation Javier was not even a thing back then) and his connection with Wesker was pretty much retconned with RE5. I think the same applies to Ada backstabbing Wesker, I'm pretty sure this was only changed when RE5 came out to not make her look as bad. These changes are mainly there to make the overall story more coherent with RE5.
The Sides A and B are the biggest downside to the Remake, feeling like the same game just with small changes. While the Original had the Zap mechanic and completely different sections that both Leon and Claire can do. And as for RE3 Remake, it's cut content is what kills it most. Sure it's a fun game to play every now and then. But when people heard of an RE3 Remake in the works. We were all thinking of what would the clocktower be like, what would the streets be like, What would this enemy be like and so on. And more importantly, what would Nemesis be like. Sadly we get a DLC for RE2 Remake. The amount of content that was removed is what kills it. And i feel Nemesis mutates far too quickly to be fun. He mutates after the first boss fight you have with him. And his stalker status said in this video is lost.
If we had a carbon Copy of the OG RE3 and give us Remake Nemesis. Then the kings crown would be back, because i do find the Remake Nemesis to be the best. But the worst in terms of gameplay. If he was more like Mr-X and stalked you throughout the games like he did. Then he would have been a great enemy. But with all the cut content. It just wasn't a thing.
14:13 "Operation Javier" didn't exist in OG RE4. In the original game, Krauser essentially comes out of the woodwork and Leon somehow knows him.The whole Javier story was created in "The Darkside Chronicles" to try and fill the gaps left by RE4's shoddy writing (and before anyone attacks me for this, Shinji Mikami himself said the story was RE4's weakest point because he wrote it himself while in a hurry and hoped the remake was going to improve it - which it did). The RE4make writers actually did one hell of a job fixing a lot of the plot, and Krauser was one of the things they improved.
I’m conflicted on the RE4 Remake. I like the ability to move around while aiming, the story is better, and I like the new guns. But I feel the mechanics are worst than the original, especially the round house kick, which felt nerfed compared to the original.
I know others might disagree. But i actually really like ada in both the remake and the original. Heck i think the remake gives her more character to be honest. But i feel like she haven't been changed that much. She still has the anti hero my opinion. As for krauser. Krauser if I remember, leon still was a part of the javer mission. Krauser saids somthing like remember the fight in the jungle, we barely made it out alive. Leon saids how could I forget. So i think that's still cannon. The only thing that I don't think is cannon is him working with wesker and ada
I agree. If you remove the charm of the original (whatever it may represent) it´s a bad remake. Pretty graphics don´t do it for me at all. My main gripe is the voice acting direction of the remakes (not the voice actors). It´s bland and boring, soulles. I felt it especially in the RE4 Remake. Leon in the original was cool and more mature. The remake makes him a depressed, too serious young guy.
They added more depth to a character ? oh the horror.
Ada became more dull. Missed the flirtatious talks between her and Leon. Some people say its because they wanted to use a more realistic approach, but even some of the dialogue they use is not realistic or never would some people ever use it. They pretty much played it safe to no offend others.
For me Re4 remake's saddler and salazar feel like worse versions that there OG ones. The O.G versions were always taunting you and made their presence known. It helped build tension between leon and even you the player. Cause all you want is to kill them and when you do it feels rewarding. In remake they rarely show up and you forget about them pretty quick.
When Spiders make their reappearance in a future RE game. I know that with the new RE engine will make them very unnerving and terrifying to encounter them again
I liked RE3 remake despite how short it was and the changes they made but i understand the hate behind it
With number 8, in the original when Barry asks if he should go first you in the tunnels CAN answer yes. You just have to make sure to follow him through the same door after you hear the gunshot. If you don’t follow him through the same door, then he will die.
Also, with Chris’s scenario in the original you can avoid needing to save Rebecca from the Hunter if you a). meet Rebecca in the medical storage save room, and b). say yes when Rebecca asks if she can come with you.
I still dont like the redesign of Nemesis. Hate the nose and the extra long flat teeth. Its not the worst look but compared to the original.. yeah. The outfit it cool though, I liked it more than a lot of people. Hastily thrown together and wrapped up seems more creepy and realistic than the black leather-looking suit. I hate how slow it acts in the remake.
For lore wise, I kinda hate how Re1 and Re2 remake turned out. It hurts my head to imagine which is canon. For example (RE1 remake) Barry literally missing if you play Chris gameplay, and who is the one fighting with lisa trevor canonically? For Re2 remake, it is just repeating formula with RE1 remake like did anette died in front of sherry after she shot Ada or what? And who the heck defeat birkin 1st and 2nd transformation canonically?! How frustrated I am when I finished RE2 remake 4 times with the same repeating scenarios. The OG re2 makes the storyline way better.
For RE3 remake, quite a shame as the gameplay is really fun but NOT replayable (unless wanted to try different difficulties) although they are many cut contents. 5 hours length like Ada and Rose DLC lol! The remake doesn't really visit raccoon city at all compared to the OG. How I wish they cancelled the ReResistance project because i think that because of that project, Re3 remake cut a lot of content lol (just to make my mind to accept the shorter length of re3 remake). For real, i really wish the pipe puzzle, clock towers, grave digger boss is back lol.
For the spiders I think it would be hard for the RE engine cause the crocodile one from re2 remake, i remember they said it was hard to make that thing. If thats the case, the deadline is the problem i guess 🤷. They shouldn't rush 😢
Btw, Your top 10s always have the same agreement with me which why i love your videos.
1r has no coherent narrative. It repeated the same mistakes as the original with two canonically incompatible mirrored campaigns.
Worse yet is the omitted canonical ending in which all 5 STARS members escape the rooftop.
I disagree. I like Ada having her sense of humanity . It shows some maturity on her end so I like the fact that she had a bit of a conscious to her.
I'm not sure if it'd classify as a change as much as a "missed opportunity", but Jill was initially a bit more hostile to Carlos in the original game, almost interrogating him on why he was there when Umbrella was the one who had started everything. Heck, the SD Perry novel even has her point a gun in his face and grow REALLY hostile towards him, almost disbelieve his intentions for a while before coming around. Outside of a single line of disbelief about Umbrella sending in a squad to help, she doesn't show any actual resistance to cooperating with "Umbrella workers" like she showed signs of in the original. Granted, Carlos had just blasted Nemesis in the face with a rocket launcher to save her, but I think in retrospect, it's still unrealistic that she'd be on the side of people associated with the company that effectively ruined her life so quickly. Better storytelling opportunity is all I'm saying.
