Skill Up They fucked up the connections to Leon and Claire’s stories in the remake, despite way better writing than the original game. Why does nobody see that?!
the original Nemesis DID NOT stalk you all over the place like Mr. X in the RE2 Remake.... Every single encounter with Nemesis in the original game WAS SCRIPTED..... Every single time. And then when the scripted part is done, he follows you until you reach a certain point where he is scripted to go away. So you're either remembering the game wrong, or you're not a very big fan like you make yourself out to be. I agree that this game does quite a few things wrong, but this is just a shit review. bad information all over this video. if this were my video, i would take it down and do another review fixing all the errors and misinformation.
About the action feeling more action-y: Jill is a literal super-cop. Her crosshair closes in way faster than Leons or Claires because both of them haven't had training while Jill is a seasoned police officer in a special unit. I thought that was kind of a cool detail actually.
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" I'm sorry, but thats a LIE. REmake 2 cut spiders, crows, Zombie Brad Vickers, the huge moth found in the lab, no bowgun, no EX battle, no alternative costumes. Instead DLC for costumes you had to pay for. Also lets not forget how REmake 2 butchered the A/B scenarios and didn't do that part any justice compared to the original.
RE2 Remake was great, but all of those were kind of bad except the spiders and crows. Giant spiders are super cartoony and crows were just annoying. We already have hunters and those RE0 monkeys as being one of the most annoying RE enemies, we don’t need crows.
Zakku You might be the only other person who has the same opinion as me of the spiders and crows. I do like the spiders in RE1/Remake. Not only are they frequent but they actually actually interferes with you. They were an obstacle. Some could be totally avoided but some did pose as a challenge. I ran past the spider in RE2 every time. If it was never implemented in the game I wouldn’t care. Crows can sit in a dick. They are stupidly annoying and just awful in general. Why crows?? I’m happy they didn’t use bats since those are clichè and just as dumb, but those are at least silly and funny (kind of like the wasps in RE1/Remake
If you beat hardcore mode it unlocks alternative costumes. Free. You're wrong on that point. And other things they left out should not be seen as cutting corners, but instead simply as not using everything in the original and replacing it with other things (which they did). The producer himself said RE2 was more of a reimagining than a remake. The stuff that didn't carry over may not have been worth it over what we ended up with. Edit: They did fudge the a/b scenarios though. Still ended up with gold, so it's a bit hard to complain much.
I just finished the game. The problem is not the scripted Nemesis encounters, it's that your path is so linear, that it makes him no threat anymore. In the original, he was always interfering in the middle of a puzzle.
@Earthbound Aesthetics I love how people talk out of their ass with absolute zero knowledge about the production circumstances behind these two games. Just because they released 1 year apart from each other it doesn't mean they couldn't have been in development at the same time.
"In RE2 remake, no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" Bullshit, the whole A/B in Remake was completely watered down compare to the original. Both scenarios were practically the same thing.
Thats because they said. From the start. That RE2 would NOT have an A and B scenario. Which they didn't. The 2nd run scenario was never intended to be a B scenario like the original. Fans somehow labeled them as this but it isnt true.
I think people misremember how nemesis worked in the original game. He didt stalk you the entire time it was during very scripted moments. It just felt like he was but in reality and for what ive been reading about this remake, nemesis works very similar. I know people expect more from games now a days and i agree they should. I gonna pick it up cause im a fan and probably gonna replay it like 50 times or something
the game had to work with what they got back in the day. here is the problem with that statement to defend it. RES2 Remake. that feature was made with the new Tech to capture what they really wanted to do. sorry..this is a downgrade and a mis step. call out the fuck ups so we dont have to see another fall of Res again. for 60$ this is too much
@@BrotherO4 I am not defending this remake, I have no reason to do so. I just wanted to clarify how nemesis works since in too many reviews I have seen this description of nemesis. and to be honest mr x does not chase you during the whole game but he does it only in specific parts of the game that last very little. but i agree that capcom dropped the ball here. the lack of mercenaries mode and the live selection sucks
@@KidArkx mrx did not chase you in the original re2 it only appeared to you in some parts and you had to dodge it or beat it temporarily. re2 remake mrx is more similar to the original nemesis and from what i see re3 remake nemesis works the same way
@Ripper 90 I've got no interest in playing multiplayer when I buy a single player game, in fact I've got no interest in playing multiplayer at all as i've been there and done it. The majority of games are multiplayer so to find the last bastion of games that are single player ( resi / survival horror ) having multiplayer tagged into them at the expense of single player content is bull****! Personally I'd rather be fishing, hunting or doing something other than sat on my ass playing with someone over the internet....
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" - maybe we stop forgetting the fact that in original RE2 your actions from playthrough A impacted the game state in playthrough B, and in RE2 Remake both playthroughs were predetermined by the devs?
Re2R is overrated shit, original contents were cut just as worse as Re3R, nothing scary nothing horror, boring and repetitive gameplay, puzzles served as time wasters and dragged out game length. Terrible
@@lisupei6042 "Nothing scary, nothing horror" As someone who had never played RE2, REmake 2 made me tell out loud from fright multiple times and I'm someone who has been playing horror games for over two decades.
@@michaelandrews117 Then you should go play Re2 classic as well as Re1 Remake, Silent Hill 2-4, Amnesia the Dark Descent, SOMA, Fatal Frame 1,2, Siren 1,2...
I honestly feel like RE2 deserves equivalent criticism as the A scenarios are hardly different and the B scenarios are even more anemic. Not to mention all the cut content that wasn't really replaced with anything. However, at least RE2 had decent mini games to play after, I think everyone who played RE3 was excited to play a modern mercenaries but this gimmicky multiplayer is so disappointing.
RE3 isnt even out until 2 days from now, and its now getting reviews and everyone is making an opinion based on the early demo and showcases. Thats a big oof for capcom here.
I never played the original and I really enjoyed the game, although hearing that the A/B scenario changes being minimized and lacking monsters/weapons is a bit disheartening listening to old-school fans. Do you all think it was still worth the $60 price at release?
14:00 vid guy: "in re 2 remake no sacrifices were made...no corners were cut." me: **laughs in spiders, moth monster, dual scenario locked secret lab door, dual scenario shared equipment items, Arrange Mode, a fleshed-out lab as complex as the RPD, the second half of B scenarios having unique progressions, and a super obvious seed-based item and monster randomizer mode**
It just sounds like he hasn't played the original. Or maybe it has been too long, and he forgot. Overall, i would say that the story and level design was reduced in some parts and amplified in others.
Nemesis was always scripted. He will always come though that same window and chase you for two rooms. He wasn't constantly stalking you, he was just waiting for the next trigger, just like in the Remake.
@@NaikoArt Now imagine if Nemesis, a high speed, invincible, zombie weaponizing killing machine was chasing you non-stop for 1/3 of the game. Always waiting right outside the door. Chasing you while you look for items. Always in front of you, blocking your way.
Did Nemesis in the original RE3 really chase you more? Havent played that game for more than 15 years, but i am pretty sure he only appeared on pre determined parts and couldnt chase you for more than maybe one room. And praising RE2 Remake for not cutting corners? It also cut the B Playthrough and mashed their distinctive feature into one Playthrough (Burkin was Route A in the original, Mr. X was Route B). Sure, there is somewhat of a Route B but it only changes item/enemy placement and the route you take through the same locations. Route B in the original was way more different than that. I mean you are probably right, RE3 Remake is not as high quality as RE2 Remake but if you say it delivered on all fronts when it also cut things from the original undermines your point here.
Thats not cutting, thats refining. Im sure many players liked the chill of Mr X showing up on playthrough one. THIS game CUT content. The outside is practically non existent now, the park is gone, the clock tower is gone, the choices are gone, Nemesis in his original form is gone, the extra modes are gone. I mean ressy 3 created mercenaries, imagine the shock of this game having NO additional modes? and in the UK its more expensive then RE2R was at £50. RE2R didnt copy paste EVERYTHING over but it never felt like anything was cut, just changed and refined into a new game. A great feature of that game is it and the original can exist together, one is not necessarily better than the other and there is reason to play the remake and the original. Nemesis in RE3 wasnt like MrX of RE2R but he did kinda have that sense to him, he would randomly show up, yes there are only so many spots he could, but you woudnt KNOW where, and he may not even pop up if he could. He had SOME scripted parts, but the fact he could randomly STARS his way in, AND chase you through a loading door was scary to say the least. Here, he is literally on par with an Uncharted "Cutscene-Gameplay" segment. And no hate for Uncharted but its hardly immersive or scary to have to run down a corridor as things happen just behind you, knowing you are safe, because thats just how Uncharted style segments work.
In the original he had some scripted battle but there's were a lot moments in the game where he'd randomly show up out of nowhere amd and chase you through out the city.
In RE3 original Nemesis did show up pretty randomly but it also depended on the choices you made. If you picked the same choices on two playthroughs he would spawn in the same locations and you could spot the pattern; but if you picked different choices he also changed his spawn patterns pretty significantly. (Aside his scripted encounters of course)
Yes cause there one decision in the Power Station where if you made the right decision Jill would find herself surrounded by zombies where the camera changes to Nemesis on the roof killing zombies so he would be the one to kill Jill.
I played the Original RE3 more times than I can count and I can safely say this: Nemesis encounters are SCRIPTED. It doesnt happen anywhere he feels like it; he jumps out of the window at the RCPD after you get a certain key item and you make your way out to use it, same goes after extinguish the fire in the alley. He DOES chase you around the city if you dont lose/defeat him quickly through 2 to 3 rooms. But here's the point the review was trying to make regarding that FEEL OF RANDOMNESS: Depending on your choices, Nemesis could appear in one location instead of another. And more importantly, there are a handful of times where he could appear in front of you without any kind of warning, whereas this remake seems to introduce the "chase scene" to you via cutscene. RE3 was my first and still my favourite RE game of all time and, IMO, getting rid of the Critical Decision System (which allowed to you to jump from escenario to escenario mid playtrhough) and the Advanced Ammo Crafting was a BIG mistake from their part.
"Resident Evil 2 Remake had multiple character and A & B scenarios" Yeah but those 4 scenarios were almost the exact same, you might as well just played the game 4 times on the same story for how little of a difference it was. One area and One boss fight difference?
This x1000. All these idiot reviewers saying this and have never even played the OG RE2 to know what they're actually talking about. I believe it was this channel that criticized the IGN RE2make review for not mentioning the alternate scenarios when they're not even in the game. Capcom didn't even call it scenario A/B in the remake because they weren't trying to do the alternate scenarios like the original. Pretty sure they even said weeks before release that they weren't going that route, just like how they announced a while back that there would be no live choices in this.
They did not drop the ball.... they did amazing. The whole "nemisis wasnt presistant enough" can stop. From the licker popping up, naked zombies, and hunters... Ohh man this game is most def survival horror. The feeling of the very end is stupid rewarding. I had very low expectations from the demo. This game was phenomenal! 😢😍
Yes, Nemesis was mostly scripted in the original but he'd change his route based on your choices along the way so you were always surprised. Also, he'd stalk you for a very long time if you chose to ignore him.
@@sonfable8809 he was scripted 100% actually, also mr x wasnt that impressive, people act like he was the alien from alien isolation. What made "nemmy" seem not scripted was the path choices jill took changed where he popped up Since they removed that, people think hes not scripted in the original
@@brandonHines76 In the original yes some parts were scripted, but he was totally random when not tied to story progression. Only very few parts were scripted. In the remake there's only few instances were he is random, at the start only, the rest of the game most of it is scripted.
Nemesis has always been scripted, he's never been a ''stalk you at random'' villian, but that's coming from someone that's played the original countless times. He only appeared when you triggered an event ,or you know picked up a key item. I mean I would've appreciated if he was appearing at random, but that doesn't bother me. The only reason it feels like he doesn't appear much, is because they cut most places, and things you do to trigger him where he'd actually appear, making it seem like he's always there. Also...let's be real...no remake will be as great as the 1st remake :P. I will agree however the $60 tag is a bit pricey, so best to wait for a sale if you choose that option instead.
Bro there’s a literal video of a top down view of the map from re2r showing mr x stalking real time. Makes no sense and no reason they couldn’t do it here. Isn’t the whole point of a remaster to bring new layers and so on. The real time mr x was really cool.
They should have done what dishonored did with death of the outsider, since it's too big to be a dlc and too small to be a new game that released it as kind of a 40 dollar expansion.
I think the re2 remake is better than the gamecube remake. At least they reimagined the gameplay. The re1 remake maintains the archaic isometric view and tank controls. Nostalgia fanatics can take that as a positive, but the role of a remake is to evolve the original formula to a point of making it on par with current software. And tank controls are definitely a thing of the past, born and died in the ps1 era. I still remember how people praised metal gear solid for getting rid of these obnoxious controls, even in 98 people already despised these controls.
The different paths with the live choices give the sensation of randoness,because each playthrogh was random And the remake should have improved in that feeling specially after mr x in Resident Evil 2 remake
@@SuperMysteryboi They wouldn't be able to do it in RE3 because the city is so large that it wouldn't be feasible. The RPD is one building, so keeping Mr. X loaded is easy. If Nemesis was walking around the city streets then eventually the player would get so far away that Nemesis would have to be culled by the game engine to keep performance in check. Otherwise you'd have to keep the whole city or large portions of the city map loaded just to have Nemesis walking around.
But i still loved re2 remake and your first playthrough would take about 10 hours. But 6 hours is crazy to ask for a 60$ game i am still gonna get it full price
Cubic Man I don’t think it’s necessarily about the difference as far as story goes . It’s different as far the vibe goes . Claire and Leon are very different characters so the changed dialogue, different guns , different enemies in certain scenarios , etc. all added to the feeling of having more content . That’s what it seems like RE3 is missing .
In the original Re2 sure some areas play out the same but a lot of B scenario had different locations, items, bosses, weapon parts, etc, Re2 remake is the same shit
Atleast, in re2 remake there were 2 campaigns and the b campaign (whichever one you play) had different characters and 2 different final boss (including blob William birkin). RE3 Remake literally removed everything form the original.
“In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut” I don’t have anything original to contribute, just wanted to be the 16th comment to have this copy/pasted lol
And yet in a way the most original. I think it's funny because you know the kats that put those same copy/paste comments had to have read the comment they wrote down at least 3 times.
Lighthouse Official yeah I’ve played the original last night and he literally only shows up after you get like a key item really. I think they just revamped the 2nd game too much too much to where people’s expectations are too high
Mr x was scripted as well? The kind of script we are talking about here is different than you are mentioning people can judge when nemesis is about to arrive rather than scare us by an unexpected entry!
@@lighthouseofficial1263 "Also being short shouldn't be a criticism" LMFAO it's a cross between depressing and hilarious how you fanbois are so deeply in denial. I know it's hard but it's time to accept the fact that your childhood classic got ruined and move on..
They started making both games around the same time. That’s why they came out in relatively short succession for games. Haven’t played RE2, but from what I played in RE3, a wait really wouldn’t have mattered since the quality is still very much there
He really doesn't know who Hunk is? Oh lord... Hunk will be very happy to introduce himself, possibly with his signature "chiropractic neck maneuvers."
Tecada L Let’s just say that I seen some *SCENES and SECTIONS* in RE3 remake that the original had and was scrapped. What Skills up mentioned, Nemesis encounters are scripted mostly then random encounters.
@@reviewreviews5908 I find the idea that this guy would make a 15 minute review of a game with no arguments or reason other than just to be a contrarian, frankly, incredibly stupid.
"Combat in Resident Evil is not supposed to feel fun!" - spoken like somebody who never actually played the original Resident Evil 2 or 3. True, you weren't jumping around like Neo in the Matrix, but you weren't doing that in most FPSes of the time, either. Ammunition was plentiful in both those games, and killing everything in sight was not only possible, but even encouraged. The fear came from the jump scares, the atmospheric dread, the lore files that you found... combat was never a "scary" element in Resident Evil.
Honestly the whole idea of combat not supposed to be fun is disproved literally by RE2 remake. Like look at G2-5 which are pretty much just pure fun (G1 is more of a horror-y boss than a fun boss) and the Super Tyrant fight and combat nearer the end of the game where you had a full arsenal and are blasting through G adults and cooking Ivy's.
It was still never all that fun. Like, I love RE - old and new - but outside of maybe... RE6? Combat has felt super blase. It was more of a way to circumvent the "puzzle" of zombies/enemies. RE6 only felt fun because it cast aside any and all remaining horror ties and just said "Okay, hear me out, what if Resident Evil, but it was actually Devil May Cry?"
Fear from jump scares is such a childish concept. That's why I always laugh when resident evil fans says the games are scary, considering silent hill existed in the same time period. I like both and resident evil feels like a walk in the park compared to silent hill. You can fight back in resident evil + you know the threat is something mundane. Resident Evil 2 remake, yes, this one creates the right atmosphere, the jump scares are legit (because one zombie is enough to kill you early), etc.. but the isometric resident evil are laughable. And who knows, if we had a modern take on silent hill, maybe this game would make resident evil 2 remake feels childish as well.
@@cruelwraith2games926 you can hide the enemies in the over the shoulder games, also in first person. There's really no reason to add tank controls just to complicate things on purpose. The isometric camera, OK, it's acceptable... But not fucking tank controls
I feel this should have been a Uncharted The Lost Legacy situation. The studio made a 6-8 hour story mode in under a year with a lot of assets from Uncharted 4 and they charged it for 40 bucks with the previous games multiplayer with it. Seemed like a pretty good deal for me, would you have been more lenient with RE3 if it was sold for 40 instead?
Not to mention that The Lost Legacy felt distinct in its structure with a focus on open-world exploration compared to mostly linear UC4 campaign while RE3 Remake sounds like a similar yet lesser version of what we got in RE2 Remake.
Tbf I just played through Lost Legacy and it's really well done (especially about halfway through after ow sections) for a $40 stand alone expansion. Yes pricey and granted it's not $20 CDPR expansion quality (the measure for me) but far more finely crafted and better than most fake gouged content updates/SAEs AAA puts out for $40.
it comes with 2 games the single player and the multiplayer so if you think about it your paying $30 each so the single player may not be as good as the original or re2 remake
@@weaverquest Also the Lost Legacy WAS dlc in a sense. It replaced any dlc for Uncharted 4,and anyone who'd purchased the season pass for that game (~$25) got LL for 'free'.
This has been my favorite game since 1999 and hearing these reviews is a fat bummer. Seems like they went the half ass route when they could have made this insanely awesome.
@@BOBBROMIX prob price. Nothing wrong with a quality, dense 5-6 experience. That's what I grew up on, especially with RE. There were some creative decisions that some weren't okay with, but the RE 3 remake that we got is impressive and a worthwhile addition to the next-gen remake catalog, short or not.
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut". Lol how about enemies left out? Or fewer plot differences between the 4 scenarios compared to the original? Nice double standars! Also, what's this nonsense about different endings in 3? Just getting a different dude to fly the helicopter is just a flavor thing, adding some different variations to the single finale the orignal RE3 had...
I agree, RE2 remake is a great game but it still cut corners big time. RE3 doesn't seem different in that aspect, the original was short as hell, I expect this one to be as well. I'm sure it would be good tho
@@mahmoudaj2000 Re2R is overrated shit, original contents were cut just as worse as Re3R, nothing scary nothing horror, boring and repetitive gameplay, puzzles served as time wasters and dragged out game length. Terrible
It baffles me when people said RE3 had multiple endings. lmao Multiple epilogues, yes. Multiple endings, no. A slight different helicopter pilot doesn't really mean shit. It's not like we can get an ending where Raccoon City didn't blew up or they escaped through different vehicles. It's all end the same way: Nemesis died, escaped with helicopter, the city was nuked.
Are people really still complaining about the crows and spiders being left out? You can literally just run by them in the original, they pose absolutely zero threat. Also they replaced the spiders with G virus adults which are better in every way.
I feel like a lot of people are gonna disagree with you on this game. But you know what: at least you have the credibility to back your review up.... *cough cough* unlike IGN and GameSpot.
E1ite Yoshi From the review of ign, they even say there is no new game plus like resident evil 2 has. And is very short. And Nemesis only shows up really on boss segments. Kind of wish he was like Mr X, and is always someone to look out for.
Still disappointed that we didn't get any iconic outfits for Jill. They should have included her RE5 ones as well as the other outfits from the original game.
@Reem Nour I don't mind that it's 5 hours i'm just hoping it's quality over quantity here and that it has that special blend of survival and action that I know the series can pull off, how did you manage to play it early? Did you get an early copy?
I played the original re3 multiple times, like seriously a lot, even resently. Nemesis showing up wasn't random, I always new exactly at what point he Will show up so I always prepared myself one save room early.
The point is Lazy Capcom should have made Nemesis like Mr x in RE 2 remake, would have made the game a tonne more scary but they were too lazy to code it in.
@@Hard2hit94 bro, Mr X was chasing you in a closed environment called the RPD. There is a point in the story when the chase stops right ? Nemesis is the same. In the original he stops chasing you at a certain point of the story. He chases you in the city. Once you're done, and make a run for it, he never chases you again until the end of game. The STORY makes it like that, I don't see why Capcom should have changed this at all.
@@Hard2hit94 no, what my point is, he is literally saying that nemesis chase you randomly throughout the original game, but not in the remake. That is absolutely not true. I don't care about the other things he is saying, I'll buy it, play it and judge it myself. I'll know if /when they change anything and see i it was a bad choice or not. Because I do remember the game, and even if I don't, I still got it so I can play it whenever the heck I want.
Are you sure about RE2 remake wasn't cut anything out? It's quite a lot they cut out and have the same problem as you stated in this review. RE2 just hinder that by having to play twice to realize that.
Resident evil 2 cut out puzzles, locations and enemies that were kinda forgettable Resident evil 3 cut off mechanics, enemies and bastardized the Nemesis shit all the while the developer made it political and a ‘you go girl’ but at the end where she held the rail gun and tipped off Doom 2016 and was just a disappointment all together Like yeah I’d pay for s DLC for them to bring back resident evil 2 in full
@Aaron9 i don't think copy paste the same scenario 4 times being a good thing and the perfectly fit together plot line between two character is now gone too.
@@harima9597 if you think they cut things out if re2, then I promise you, you will hate re3 remake. They cut so much, yet added things about nemesis that was completely unnecessary.
The original resident evil 3 was like this as well. It was a game that let you enjoy playing repeatedly while enjoying each playthrough. I'm sad mercenaries isnt in the game though.
This. Also RE3 was always different than the prior games. This massive hype could've been prevented if people actually did some research and found out that RE3 was the shortest game. Hope we get some DLC's in the future like RE2 did though
Agree, i really don't care about the multiplayer mode (resistance ?) but i hope they bring mercenaries mode back. If they have time and resources, they should add co-op in mercenaries mode.
The original game had the item randomnizer, the choices, multiple endings, Mercenaries....not to mention, it came out 21 years ago. REmake 3 is offering less than a game released 21 freaking years ago, something that REmake 2 also did, offering less than the original 1998 game.
8 vs 1 in the remake. Mr. X was scripted in the original too. Capcom did a amazing job him in the remake. You're think they will do the same with Nemesis 🤦🏿♂️
@@cerromeceo all I'm saying is the fact he says nemesis constantly stocked you in the original is wrong is what I'm saying. Literally go through a door and the chase is over. Remake he stocks you the first 3 hrs. Can enter save rooms etc.
arhickernell he can’t go into safe rooms, he doesn’t chase you for the first 3 hours of the game. Maybe one hour or 1hand half depending on quick you are. And He should be random because mr x was. I’ve got the game and completed it, so I can confirm everything I’m saying as fact
@@crazysteve2395 lucky you. How you get it early? Also all the reviews I've watched or read have said different things about the time. Jim sterling has the best review imo
@@crazysteve2395 yeah mr.x wasnt random, go play re2 again and use your big boy brain. He shows up at key story beats and leaves at key story beats, the only time hes just aimlessly walking around searching for you is when he is triggered by....you guessed it, a story beat. Nemesis also works this way just based on the demo, you can stun or outrun him with doors to get away...his ai probably knows where you are, making him seem more aggressive and he jumps off buildings and shit. This dude was factually incorrect multiple times in this review.
Being one of the few that already finished the game, I wholeheartedly agree, sadly. While RE2R felt like a faithful reimagination of the original, RE3R felt like a thrown together cash grab to ride on the wave. While it's by no means a bad game, it is a letdown and pretty mediocre. It is very linear, short and the characters are basically thrown in without any meaning. I played Hardcore for my first run and it took 8hs. Playing Standard for my 2nd run and I'm already halfway through again with barely an hour played, while still not skipping anything, which is hard anyway, since it's so linear to begin with. I would recommend getting it when its on sale for 30-40 bucks, but it's not worth full price(unless you love Resistance). Resistance is its own mess...Masterminds are completely overpowered...you can defeat any group of Survivors with ease as long as you are somewhat competent as a Mastermind.
@@gaintrainwompa1133 It's like Skill Up said, all encounters with Nemesis are forced scripted events with the only variable being that where he jumps in can change based on which way you walk(for example walk towards a ladder and he jumps down in front of it, if you choose to walk down the street instead of the ladder he jumps down in the middle of the street). What Skill Up didn't mention, which makes it even worse, is that these events only really happen during the first quarter of the game until your first boss fight against him. After that boss fight he only ever shows up again in cutscenes, or following boss fights and that's it 🙁
They shouldve made RE3 bigger and better than the original, sadly they made it smaller and actively took out content there was there before. This shouldnt cost 60 dollars. It's a budget 30 dollar title if anything. They shouldve kept live selections/story choices. It's one of the coolest things in RE3 and added some more replayability.
"Characters are basically thrown in without any meaning" Can you expand on this without spoilers? One of the biggest things I was looking forward to in RE3R was more time with Brad, Carlos and Mikhail. Am I going to be disappointed?
Well technically Mr X was pretty much harmless, stressful on a first playthrough for sure, but you just have to walk away from him and he'll never catch up Seeing how mobile Nemesis was in the demo, and seeing his arsenal, having him actually tail you throughout the game would probably be detrimental to the gaming experience
@@beatthebyte7058 Yea but I remember people complaining in the first week-month of release that it was too much pressure on the player. He really wasn't "hard" but when he was activated it was pretty much unscripted. It's crazy how they dropped the ball with the villain that should be precisely that.
@@Ocean5ix yes I guess some complained at first because as I said, it is a stressful encounter when doing a blind playthrough, however Mr. X mechanics (speed, AI etc) make him harmless after a few playthroughs I'll say it again but you can straight up outwalk it, and hear him flail his arms behind you without ever being at risk, he's really the less dangerous enemy in the game I'll have to wait a few days before hopefully getting my hands on RE3 but based on the demo I can definitely see why Nemesis' moveset would mix poorly with mr X tracking, it would make the game a hassle to play Surely RE3 will have its share of issues but I think the comparisons with old school Nemesis and RE2make's mr X are unfair at least because they are both misrembered as unstoppable, relentless killing machines, which they definitely were not
As much as I (may) agree or disagree with you once I've played this. I respect this incredibly well written review and all of your opinions. Good work again.
It felt a little off when playing the demo, then i watched the whole game and i'm like wow this is not good. Still getting it though so I can play it myself.
@@serenseitcean2051 No one says the game is bad.. It's just it could be much better with more polish and more content rather than cutting most of what the game can offer now.. Dissapointment doesn't always denotes Bad.. It's just it's plain obvious this game of made with RE2 should be a DLC... 5 hours for a full prices game is kinda Meh.. Tbh. Not everyone is up for the Resistance MP mode so Capcom really bundled it for a blatant cash grab..
No clock tower, no Raccoon City park, no dead factory, no puzzles, no Gravedigger, no mercenaries mode, horrible writing, Jill was super cringe and unlikable in trying to be this super badass, etc. If you never played the original RE3 you will like this game, but us lifelong fans that grew up with the original were given the middle finger by Capcom. This is a $15-20 DLC at best. I’m being very generous lol...
What you and many RUclipsrs say about Nemesis being a random threat in the original is complete lie. RE3's nemesis encounters were made to look random, in reality they are no random at all but scripted based on when you found a specific item or did some action, hench why it's also a gamble fighting him for his drops or running and loosing the chance to take some parts. the remake is probably not hiding this as good as the original but you shouldn't keep spreading this misinformation that the Nemesis in the original Resident Evil was a random encounter, if anything I thank everything that he wasn't because even at his current state after the first 8 or so encounters he wasn't any longer a constant heart pounding threat as you call him but a complete annoyance and probably the reason why I haven't played RE3 as much as 2 and Veronica. On the other side if the game is indeed as butchered as you say them am deeply in sorrow and frustrated at the thought that this probably happened because of this "resistance" mode's existence.
First, I agree with everything you said, BUT Resistance was made by a completely different team and wasn't meant to be an RE "game" from the start, from what I know. So no, it was probably not butchered because of it since Capcom's team didn't really work on it. But let's hope we won't be disappointed with RE3R. Still sad about the Mercenary mode not being included.
@@chizuruyato3161 well then, still as a MP game is not that good. The RE3 demo was fine (appriciate a lot the fact I don't have a timer forced on me this time around) and from what I understood from any spoiler free reviews I saw, it's good, not perfect but at least worth buying. I'll probably wait for it to drop a bit though since even if it wasn't made by Capcom I still don't want to pay 60 or 70 € for a mod I didn't like at all.
@Cyberdemon Mike Every appearance of Nemesis in the original is 100% scripted. The live selections gave the illusion that he would show up randomly, but there is never a time where that is the case. If you don't go to a certain area first, he'll just show up in another area to intercept you. This, was also scripted.
No offense against SkillUp, since his reviews are usually good (and this one isn't too bad, too), but he can't remember important characters name's usually, it seems. And I'm talking about Carlos here, not HUNK.
@Kris He is reviewing the game. He is a 'reviewer'. Meaning it might as well be his profession, so he better put 100% into it and, as op said, get his lore up.
@@TheAnhphuong92 Technically, the live selection event is scripted as well but, this remake was a clusterfuck that rushed through everything. I wanna forget it exists already.
Resident evil was my introduction to what i call "hardcore gaming." I played Mario and other Nintendo titles, but my uncle had a ps1. One day he let my dad borrow it and play Resident Evil 2. My dad was a huge horrror fan and I would wait till my mom went to sleep and sneak downstairs to play. If my mom caught me watching my dad he would play it off like he didn't know I was there, but if I evaded her, he would let me set there and watch him play RE2. I have always loved the series as the one that really got me into gaming.
They cut so many things, at least they should expand the RPD building that we all love and have Jill go instead of Carlos. Better for Nemesis too as he will be patroling the RPD like Mr X.
I think a lot of people were after the AI from the Alien in Alien Isolation, whilst it would definitely add to the realism to have Nemisis ambush you in certain areas that may or may not happen, I’m not sure how well it would fit, the key area of concern would be that RE3 is mostly about confrontation and Alien Isolation is all about avoiding it.
I feel people misrepresent what the A and B scearnios truly were in RE2 remake....they switched a few things up but you still go through the same levels. If you're a one and done type of gamer that's really not enough to consider it a "fresh new experience" imo not sure why people are railing so hard on it's length when it's basically identical to RE2 remake.
B scenario in REmake 2 is trash compared to the B scenarios in the original. It's barely different whereas in the og you literally had to plan ahead on which special item you would take or leave on your first playthrough so on the B one you could pick them up. Plus Mr X only appeared in B scenario.
@@albertnicolau4139 he praised eternal. what are you on about? he just liked 2016 better and it is totally fine. I also think that Eternal is better but no reason to call it lazy.
No Clocktower No Racoon City Park No Dead Factory yeah i'm agree, this game should be a DLC for Resident Evil 2 for $10 rather than a standalone $60 game.
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" Are you serious?! Or did we just not play the same game? RE2R is the definition of cut content. And RE3 was never originally meant to be a mainline game so that's why it was so short back then too.
@@adrianamarcos6496 its unnecessary to be there. It doesn't need to be 1 to 1. Did you care that were in a subway station as opposed to a ground level rail?
This review actually may dissuade me from getting the game at launch. Purely from a value perspective. I may just wait until it's reduced in price now.
@@thedarkapex5327 Not everyone has the money or time to spend playing something that they may not like. The whole point of reviews is to inform you about whether a purchase is worthwhile. And RE2 was getting much better reviews at launch this one.
You forgot one important thing: RE3:R lacks a LOT of brutality and realism RE2:R has. Zombies can't trip over dead corpses anymore, you can't shoot them in half, you can't damage a dead zombie anymore and their physics have been deactivated, the details of the body gore effects have been neutered, bodyparts vanish into thin air, etc. It's still gory, yes...but the changes destroy a lot of immersion. It's a huge downer for me and one major reason I won't buy it although I love RE2:R.
@@MrSwitchblade327 Actually, it's more about the amount of processing power it takes to render dozens of zombies with 4-5 layers of detail in the much wider stages present in RE3R. Demo still had exploding heads and popping limbs, just not as detailed mesh damage.
Just finished it and I personally had a great time. I don't agree with your thoughts about reusing some of the RE2 locations... I loved that inclusion and the connection with it all.. it helped to enhance the experience for me between the two games. I do agree that it's not worth the listed price tag.. but well worth it on discount. Had a really good time with this.
Short game doesn't mean Bad game. Would you rather pay $60 for 100 hours for a lack luster time sink with repeat objectives or $60 for a 10 hour well crafted experience that makes every moment memorable and worth multiple playthroughs? The problem with the game isn't how short it is but how lackluster the content within the game is.
That implies the shorter the game, the better it has to be. This game lasts 5 hours and costs 60 bucks. To be worth that price in such short time, the game should be so good to basically define new standards and a new generation. Do you think is this the case for RE3?
@@giovannibrena3913 No. My point is simply length does not associate to value. According to the reviewer the games flaws weren't so much how short it was but the time spent in it was underwhelming.
@@LifeLongRiot Usually lenght does associate with value, since lenght usually depends on amount of content put in the game. What you mean is that a short game could still be worth, and you're right. But, again, that implies the shorter the game, the better it has to be. According to the reviewer, the game is good, but too short (or not good enough) to cost $60.
But isn't that the fun of it? The first time you play the game you need to explore and backtrack often because you suddenly need an item and then in your next playtrough you know where things are and you can get a faster time and try to manage your inventory in a way you don't need to backtrack a lot. That's why the RE games have a lot of replayability.
@@hetswoarmakanaal5190 actually they have replayability because of all the new game + unlocks. if there wasnt an incentive to go back and play it again most people wouldnt
I completed it in just under 4 hours, honestly I am still satisfied with what I got, yes it could be longer, but does it really need to be. I thought is was a fast paced, competent story. I think I honestly prefer this game to the original. I am working on a second playthrough now. I am still enjoying it finding things I missed the first time, and having a blast killing zombies.
It's funny to see that many people are talking about how Skill Up forgot about the enemies that weren't in RE2 and the way the scenarios were handled in RE2 Remake and that's enough for some of them to undermine the entire review I mean, he is wrong about those things, but the rest of the review is pretty solid and we've lost many things that were in the original and even things that RE3 Remake should have done better than RE2
The review is solid but "In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" Made me feel like he did not play the original RE2 or did not do the research on it before reviewing.
@@TeamSakurasou It's even worse since he said that he played the original, but at that point it just looks like he lied or even forgot the stuff from the classics and put it in the script anyway
The only misinformation in this review is Nemesis being able to chase you everywhere and appear at random places. Even in the original he is just story beats. The rest is pretty disappointing to see the game being so short and that a lot of things were cut. And the action is a very debatable topic since a lot of people say the game is fun and a lot say it isn’t. It was my only pre order of this gen and I’m already regretting it.
Well there is also the entire thing about RE2 remake cutting nothing which is nonsense to such a degree one has to wonder whether he even ever played the original.
raped Slime that’s also true. RE2 remake cut the entirety of the b scenarios and because of that the game’s story became terrible. And since this comment I’ve read Carci’s tweets about the game and he said that the game is fun. And Carci is a big fan of the RE series as a whole, so I will always believe more in him.
Creatine is amazing I was thinking about doing it too. But when it comes to RE Carcinogen is way more reliable than skill up. And Carci said that the game was fun. Now I’m way more relieved and waiting to play it.
Jt Jose exactly thank you!! But mr x does it and it’s mind blowing and genre defining. However nemesis does it better and more unpredictably and it’s so bad and boring?? wtf?? Lol
Jt Jose Thank you, these people acting like this is a huge downgrade are crazy. The game is short and probably should of been $40 but Skill continues to make mistakes in his reviews... Kinda considering unsubbing after a variety of poorly thought out reviews disguised by overly long metaphors... Idk
Not exactly. He was chasing you only in specific sections but only if you choose the same options everytime. His spawning patterns were heavily dependant on your actions in specific moments of the game. The thing is, many people just plan their optimal way of playing the game so they never see how differently Nemesis could've appeared.
Just finished my first playthrough..man they really had a chance for another game of the year if they would of spent more time going above and beyond like they did with 2.
the game was teased, announced and released way too early and quick, that is already a dead giveaway that capcom didnt spend a lot of time making RE3 remake, they fiddle around with a multiplayer gamemode that people dont ask for. hope they add A DLC to atleast rectify the barebones gameplay.
It's been in dev since the re2 remake went into dev, resistance was made by a team seperate from them using the same engine. RE3 is notably short with the original game clocking in around 3 and a half to 4 hours and even with the story branches, which literally only change 1 thing in the actual ending or add about 15 minutes of differences total , it's still notably shorter than the remake . Actually do research
Ike of Pyke clearly 3 years wasn’t enough for this game because instead of adding on to an already short game they cut things out, I feel like if you want to defend it your go to shouldn’t be blaming the original game for this remakes issues because the whole point would be to fix them
The remakes are side dishes of finger food to pick at whilst they cook the main meal, Resi 8. Its likely a next Gen launch title and from rumours kinda ambitious and vastly different from the old. More like Konami's Silent Hill Im guessing. So these are just small titles to please fans and keep the brand in peoples nminds before the semi rebooted 8.
@@prl4122 except it's longer than the original game even with said cuts. Edit: Much like how RE2 is longer than the original though it's got a notably amount cut as well,which others have mentioned. Also the point of a remake isn't always to fix things, but to simply update them for modern day, this holds true with stuff like Bionic Commando Rearmed, resident evil 1/2 remakes & dead rising 2 off the record... Oh hey they're all capcom games
I'm playing parasite eve right now. Just began last night, played 30 minutes. Now i'm at day 2 fusion. Almost forgot how was the game but its so nice to played it again. Needs a remake for new generation of gamers.
MaxPaynefan1 Okay so what do people mean by he is scripted because in Downtown Raccoon City when he is out and following the player he is on you a lot more then Mr. X doesn’t leave when you’re inside safe areas and or places he can’t get to and instead just sits outside and wait for you like Mr. X who will watch you enter a room before deciding aight I’m out and is way more persistent.
Myriad Despair I mean, I’m fine with a review done without playing the original, but stating an opinion about how they changed upon remake based on misinformation is just wrong.
Gonna pass on this one as a hardcore RE3 fan, not worth it they cut out too much stuff like the Grave Digger / Clock Tower and even the Park areas. Even the essentials are gone like the choice mechanic, multiple endings, Mercenaries. Also they have removed poison, blue herbs, spiders and a bunch more interesting mechanics what made the original stand out.
Guy Mcface Nigga no it wasn’t, I understand when people let nostalgia hinder there judgement but if what he said is true then this ain’t one of those times
replayability of RE3R is way worse, than RE2R, i finished all achievements today, basically in 1 week without any problems and i played not often, finished a game in total around 7-8 times. To gather all achievements in RE2R i played much more, somewhere around a month, plus i played chalenges on RE dot net too.
I'm confused about nemesis encounters in remake. They were all scripted in og RE3 as well, what he meant is that they are all boss battles or there are not as much of them this time?
*From what I am gathering, he seems to be referencing these two things:* 1.) In the original, Nemesis would spawn at more times, during which you needed to backtrack all around Raccoon City in no specific order. This did a good job of at least creating the illusion that you were being actively hunted, while you were freely roaming Raccoon City, deciding where your next route would be, and weighing the risks of leaving the safe areas while he was at large. In the remake, he is making it sound as though a lot more of Nemesis' scripted appearances are during situations, in which the only direction you can go is forward. So more of the scripted appearances feel exactly like ordinary scripted set-pieces, and Nemesis comes across more often as Ustanak from RE6, rather than the original Nemesis or even new Mr. X in RE2 Remake. 2.) Nemesis starts transforming his Tyrant body in the middle of the story, rather than at the very end. Once he begins his transformations, he then only confronts you during mandatory boss fights or interactive cutscenes. In the original, Nemesis continued to stalk in his humanoid form as Jill was exploring the clock tower, Carlos was returning from the hospital, and when Jill started leaving the clock tower to go through the Raccoon Park. I heard people criticizing that this makes Nemesis feel more like how William Birkin was implemented than how the old Nemesis was.
Basically, we all wanted Mr X and instead got a load of scripted events that make Nemesis go form terrifying in the original to annoying in the remake.
@@OpenWorldGamer- if you paid atention to the review (AND played the original), you would've "gathered" the same things that he did, because i did and what Mark explained is exactly what "this reviewer" meant.
Yeah unfortunately I was blinded by my love of resident evil 3. Once I got the demo and I was disappointed, I got a lot of flack from fanboys (even though I had valid criticisms and they were because Resi 3 is my favorite in the series next to 4). Unfortunately I had pre ordered the game on PSN day one so there’s nothing I can do now. I was also thinking “oh, maybe they made the demo a while ago and they’ve developed the game a lot more by now” but more spoiler free reviews I’m watching more my fears get confirmed and it breaks my heart.
This. In fact I called this myself as soon as I heard the April 2020 release date. I was very skeptical that it would be released so soon after 2 (even though it was going to use roughly the same assets/engine only modified).
@@Acemont stop acting like there was some sort of revolutionary multiple ending. Its basically the same fucking ending, but who piloted the helicopter was different. Gtfo of here acting like it was this incredible thing. It really wasn't.
2 ending, multiple ways to play & every run will feel different, because some puzzle change their code each time you load the game, by dying & before confirmation, but the randomizing usually only have 4 variation, so your chance of one shotting a puzzle is 25% instead of RE2 100% memorization This time, randomization is completely in dodge mechanic
Why all the dislikes? I actually thought this was a really thoughtful review. Mind you, I didn't play either the original or the remake, but Ralph did, and these are his opinions. I can see why those of you who played the original would have different opinions from Ralph, but those are his opinions. You have all the right to disagree with him, but here's a reminder to be civil with your discussions. Don't be on the defensive whenever something negative is said about the game, instead come up with an equally thoughtful rebuttal and phrase it well. I'm sure Ralph willingly accepts constructive criticism. P.S. Love from Penang! ❤
@@bpsc9882 that's cuz u saw them before in res 2 and ur not impressed anymore believe me if 3 remake came first u would feel the same "meh" for 2 all these critics i think came from that ur full ur not starving like we did back for res 2 remake
Nothing in the demo could've given you the conclusion that it was "meh" since you know it's a demo. Most likely you weren't impressed because you played RE2R. It's the same old Dark Souls discussion, the first one people play is usually the hardest and the next ones are easier.
Most of you are hating on him for his nemesis commentary.. why are none of you focused on the 79.99$ (Canada) price tag for a full game..? This is literally during a time when a lot of you or your parents are waiting for a handout from your government because you’ve lost work. Yet it phases NONE of you that this game is so short for so much money?!
I think nemesis is under-utilized in a boss fight perspective and not him chasing you around, he is missing some forms like William and Mr X, but the fight with him doesn't quite live up to them. Btw eveyone seems to forgot that a lot of people hated how much nemesis is on your ass in the OG RE3 but now everyone is saying he did not chase you enough
Wow that was disappointing. Can't believe they took their time to shoehorn a multiplayer mode instead of fleshing out the main game. Great review as usual!
Nah, the game was outsourced. A completely different team worked on Resistance so even if it didn't exist REmake 3 would've been the same. REmake 2 already cut bunch of corners so I expected the same to happen to 3. But once they announced no Mercenaries mode I lost interest.
Removing Resistance this should have been a $15 DLC for REmake 2 or $20 standalone. Give those people who already bought the first one something to keep them invested as fans in a new half assed product.
Sounds like I'm going to feel the same about the remake as I did the original. I'm still gonna get it though. Need to add a little spice to my quarantine days.
You can tell, from a structural standpoint, that the developers either ran out of money or time on this one when it came time to push this game out from the higher ups at Capcom. The quick of it without spoilers is: RE3make is divided into roughly 5 Acts. Acts 1, 3, & 5 you play as Jill, while in Acts 2 & 4 you play as Carlos. While there are certainly potential issues people might have with Acts 1, 2, 4, and 5, I think they work for the most part. It's Act 3 that's the real problem. In the released game, Act 3 is literally just an interstitial path to a boss fight, then the boss fight, and buffered with cutscenes on all ends. In the original RE3 this is where the game slows down in two areas: the Park and the Clock Tower/City Hall. You deal with a different boss monster entirely, and its where you encounter the games notoriously toughest puzzle. It's a needed lull period in between all the action that adds a bit more of the survival horror to the experience (especially the horror, because the gravedigger is pretty gross). You can tell they were working on this at SOME point too, because they modeled the Clock Tower exterior and you see a lot of trees and public park like models and objects around on part of the interstitial path to the cutscene that starts the boss fight. Assets like these don't get modeled in the photogrammetry method they're using for the RE engine for no reason because it's actually really costly to do so. At some point they were planning a fuller park/clock tower sequence. It's a shame it was cut, because the game needs it. As much as it needs a stalker AI for Nemesis, Live Selection, and Mercenaries. I only really have hope that we'll get Mercenaries though, since it's literally a model swap mini-game that re-uses sections of levels already in the game based on racking up high scores against a timer, and all of the models in the OG mercenaries mode - Mikhail, Carlos, and Nikolai, are all already in the game.
The reason they were cut because it was rushed, capcom should've took at least 2 or 3 years to complete and polish the remake. Capcom just wanted to get this game out a year after the re2 remake, just to rush it out of the door.
Personally i think RE2R and RE3R are there to appeal to different audiences. 2 is for survival horror and speed running, 3 is for action and re play ability. Id say they contrast each other
I'm playing RE3 op PS1 now, and in that game nemesis is semi-scripted. He only apears at set locations and you can manipulate where and when he shows his mug.
Excellent review my friend, and I'm only half way through it. I felt very short-changed by RE2 due to the fact that they could have easily implemented the zapping system to add a shit-ton of replayabiliby to the game, but for whatever reason they chose not to. Before RE2 remake was even announced I always contemplated that it would come with a dynamic option to play parallel with another player - you play scenerio A/B while they play scenerio B/A and you'd meet at select meeting points to take on a boss, solve a puzzle etc. Anyway, I digress. The fact that RE3 is only FIVE hours long and excludes large chunks of the original is a kick in the teeth. Not only that but RE3 does not need to be more action paced. Sure it can have its moments, but it doesn't need to sway away from the whole reason why we fell in love with the RE games in the first place. Did they not learn anything from RE6, and how they turned it back around with RE7? Nevertheless, I won't be buying this and will happily wait for it to come out on PS+ next year.
Resistance is so bad. I was hyped to play the beta and deleted it within twenty minutes. Its like all the worst parts of Resident Evil and none of the cool multiplayer elements from RE6 or Revelations 2. come annnnnn guys
I would have to completely disagree with you, I downloaded resistance and ya there was a bit of a learning curb but once I got the hang of it I loved it and played it all weekend, i have hours on it. If you like 4vs1 games then you'll like this!
The fact that a game made 20 years ago having better boss enemy AI as well as more areas, playability, choices, endings and so on, than a modern game, speaks volumes about how AAA developers see the modern market and reflect the consumers as well on what we collectively allow and reject. Its pathetic.
@@user-cm4op2kz3y nah, it was a selective and intentional decision by the director to leave all of that content out. They had the time and money, That's the worst part about this.
You claim that you're a fan of the original, but I really feel that you're remembering it incorrectly. Nemesis did not behave randomly in the original, and I don't know how so many environments could be missing, there we only a few to begin with. Anyone expecting this to be even remotely as good as 2 was kidding themselves, it was apparent the moment they announced the multiplayer would be included. This is remake of the weakest title in the franchise, this was never going to compare to 2 unless they rebuilt it, but that isn't a remake. I respect your opinion but so much of what you're saying rings false. They should have left the branching paths I completely agree. But 5 hours, did you just rush or was it remotely completionist? My first demo run was 1 hour how could this only be 5? Are you misremembering Nemesis? Because it sounds like it's exactly the same. Are there really large sections of the game missing? I'll have to see for myself but this feels like a case of unrealistic expectations. Lastly, I really don't like the concept that multiple reviewers are throwing around that this should be dlc, it doesn't matter what the original intent was. RE3 was a full retail game with it's own strengths and weaknesses and this is a remake of that, I really don't agree that tacking it on to another title to pretend it didn't really exist is a massive overreaction. I really hope the negativity around this title doesn't prevent other remakes, which was my exact fear when I heard 3 was next, it is not as good as people remember.
Looks like I’ll be waiting for this to go on sale. In Canada new games are $80 plus tax and I am definitely not paying that much for a single player campaign of 5-6 hours.

It's aaaaaaaaaaaaart
Skill Up 14:55 WHY THE FUCK IS NOBODY MENTIONING MEGA MAN 11?!
Oh, and you forgot Resident Evil 7.
the original Nemesis DID NOT stalk you all over the place like Mr. X in the RE2 Remake.... Every single encounter with Nemesis in the original game WAS SCRIPTED..... Every single time. And then when the scripted part is done, he follows you until you reach a certain point where he is scripted to go away. So you're either remembering the game wrong, or you're not a very big fan like you make yourself out to be. I agree that this game does quite a few things wrong, but this is just a shit review. bad information all over this video. if this were my video, i would take it down and do another review fixing all the errors and misinformation.
About the action feeling more action-y: Jill is a literal super-cop. Her crosshair closes in way faster than Leons or Claires because both of them haven't had training while Jill is a seasoned police officer in a special unit. I thought that was kind of a cool detail actually.
the cross hair closes in faster
because he has the reflex sight attachment on the pistol.
without it it's the same as res2
@@menaceiwill1 Nope. Without the attachment it's also faster.
Leon is a police officer on his first day in RE2. He should have had firearms training while he was at the police academy.
Super Wiggler he was still a rookie. His training isn’t going to cover a sudden zombie apocalypse
Man, She could barely survive in the Spencer Mansion and that was only zombies. So no, She’s not a super-cop dude
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut"
I'm sorry, but thats a LIE.
REmake 2 cut spiders, crows, Zombie Brad Vickers, the huge moth found in the lab, no bowgun, no EX battle, no alternative costumes. Instead DLC for costumes you had to pay for. Also lets not forget how REmake 2 butchered the A/B scenarios and didn't do that part any justice compared to the original.
Also he claims the nemesis weren't scripted in the original wich is not true.
RE2 Remake was great, but all of those were kind of bad except the spiders and crows. Giant spiders are super cartoony and crows were just annoying. We already have hunters and those RE0 monkeys as being one of the most annoying RE enemies, we don’t need crows.
Zakku
You might be the only other person who has the same opinion as me of the spiders and crows. I do like the spiders in RE1/Remake. Not only are they frequent but they actually actually interferes with you. They were an obstacle. Some could be totally avoided but some did pose as a challenge. I ran past the spider in RE2 every time. If it was never implemented in the game I wouldn’t care.
Crows can sit in a dick. They are stupidly annoying and just awful in general. Why crows?? I’m happy they didn’t use bats since those are clichè and just as dumb, but those are at least silly and funny (kind of like the wasps in RE1/Remake
If you beat hardcore mode it unlocks alternative costumes. Free. You're wrong on that point. And other things they left out should not be seen as cutting corners, but instead simply as not using everything in the original and replacing it with other things (which they did). The producer himself said RE2 was more of a reimagining than a remake. The stuff that didn't carry over may not have been worth it over what we ended up with.
Edit: They did fudge the a/b scenarios though. Still ended up with gold, so it's a bit hard to complain much.
You even had to pay for the original soundtrack
I just finished the game. The problem is not the scripted Nemesis encounters, it's that your path is so linear, that it makes him no threat anymore. In the original, he was always interfering in the middle of a puzzle.
The game itself is very good, but it should have been DLC for RE2.
TBH The RE engine carries this game so much. This is honestly an amazingly beautiful, perfectly optimized engine.

@Earthbound Aesthetics I love how people talk out of their ass with absolute zero knowledge about the production circumstances behind these two games. Just because they released 1 year apart from each other it doesn't mean they couldn't have been in development at the same time.
"In RE2 remake, no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" Bullshit, the whole A/B in Remake was completely watered down compare to the original. Both scenarios were practically the same thing.
Ya no. Bullshit.
That's a fair point tbh.
Thats because they said. From the start. That RE2 would NOT have an A and B scenario. Which they didn't. The 2nd run scenario was never intended to be a B scenario like the original. Fans somehow labeled them as this but it isnt true.
Still makes it worth replaying even though it was not drastically different.
Yeah this and his Doom Eternal review make me have to question how reliable his reviews are going forward.
I think people misremember how nemesis worked in the original game. He didt stalk you the entire time it was during very scripted moments. It just felt like he was but in reality and for what ive been reading about this remake, nemesis works very similar.
I know people expect more from games now a days and i agree they should. I gonna pick it up cause im a fan and probably gonna replay it like 50 times or something
the game had to work with what they got back in the day. here is the problem with that statement to defend it. RES2 Remake. that feature was made with the new Tech to capture what they really wanted to do. sorry..this is a downgrade and a mis step. call out the fuck ups so we dont have to see another fall of Res again. for 60$ this is too much
@@BrotherO4 I am not defending this remake, I have no reason to do so. I just wanted to clarify how nemesis works since in too many reviews I have seen this description of nemesis. and to be honest mr x does not chase you during the whole game but he does it only in specific parts of the game that last very little.
but i agree that capcom dropped the ball here. the lack of mercenaries mode and the live selection sucks
Thats literally how Mr X was as well but they changed that in RE2 .
@@KidArkx
mrx did not chase you in the original re2 it only appeared to you in some parts and you had to dodge it or beat it temporarily. re2 remake mrx is more similar to the original nemesis and from what i see re3 remake nemesis works the same way

@Ripper 90 I've got no interest in playing multiplayer when I buy a single player game, in fact I've got no interest in playing multiplayer at all as i've been there and done it.
The majority of games are multiplayer so to find the last bastion of games that are single player ( resi / survival horror ) having multiplayer tagged into them at the expense of single player content is bull****!
Personally I'd rather be fishing, hunting or doing something other than sat on my ass playing with someone over the internet....
But they wanted an opportunity to milk you for microtransactions. Thats probably the only reason.
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" - maybe we stop forgetting the fact that in original RE2 your actions from playthrough A impacted the game state in playthrough B, and in RE2 Remake both playthroughs were predetermined by the devs?

The zap system was tacked on in re2remake and it shows especially with the puzzles you have to do a second time on b scenario for no reason.
I honestly feel like RE2 deserves equivalent criticism as the A scenarios are hardly different and the B scenarios are even more anemic. Not to mention all the cut content that wasn't really replaced with anything. However, at least RE2 had decent mini games to play after, I think everyone who played RE3 was excited to play a modern mercenaries but this gimmicky multiplayer is so disappointing.
I'm calling it right now - Mercenaries DLC, only 9,99 $
RE3 isnt even out until 2 days from now, and its now getting reviews and everyone is making an opinion based on the early demo and showcases. Thats a big oof for capcom here.
Exactly, REmake 3 is paying for all the flaws REmake 2 already had.
I would play Mercenary like the old game. I think Capcom is setting up one for the DLC. Man.....
I never played the original and I really enjoyed the game, although hearing that the A/B scenario changes being minimized and lacking monsters/weapons is a bit disheartening listening to old-school fans. Do you all think it was still worth the $60 price at release?

It just sounds like he hasn't played the original. Or maybe it has been too long, and he forgot. Overall, i would say that the story and level design was reduced in some parts and amplified in others.
I was extremely disappointed with what they did with the second run in re2 remake it’s identical to the first run it doesn’t make sense plot wise
Yeah that statement was retarded
Nemesis was always scripted. He will always come though that same window and chase you for two rooms.
He wasn't constantly stalking you, he was just waiting for the next trigger, just like in the Remake.
Exactly. I guess he just forgot how the original was.
@High Tide 68 most resident evil games can be beat under 5 hours easily what's your point
yeah but that was 20 years ago, it gave you the ILUSSION of following you around, they didnt followed that illusion up with reality like with Mr.X
@@NaikoArt Now imagine if Nemesis, a high speed, invincible, zombie weaponizing killing machine was chasing you non-stop for 1/3 of the game.
Always waiting right outside the door. Chasing you while you look for items.

Still applies sadly
Did Nemesis in the original RE3 really chase you more? Havent played that game for more than 15 years, but i am pretty sure he only appeared on pre determined parts and couldnt chase you for more than maybe one room.
And praising RE2 Remake for not cutting corners? It also cut the B Playthrough and mashed their distinctive feature into one Playthrough (Burkin was Route A in the original, Mr. X was Route B). Sure, there is somewhat of a Route B but it only changes item/enemy placement and the route you take through the same locations. Route B in the original was way more different than that.
I mean you are probably right, RE3 Remake is not as high quality as RE2 Remake but if you say it delivered on all fronts when it also cut things from the original undermines your point here.
Thats not cutting, thats refining. Im sure many players liked the chill of Mr X showing up on playthrough one. THIS game CUT content. The outside is practically non existent now, the park is gone, the clock tower is gone, the choices are gone, Nemesis in his original form is gone, the extra modes are gone.
I mean ressy 3 created mercenaries, imagine the shock of this game having NO additional modes? and in the UK its more expensive then RE2R was at £50.
RE2R didnt copy paste EVERYTHING over but it never felt like anything was cut, just changed and refined into a new game. A great feature of that game is it and the original can exist together, one is not necessarily better than the other and there is reason to play the remake and the original.
Nemesis in RE3 wasnt like MrX of RE2R but he did kinda have that sense to him, he would randomly show up, yes there are only so many spots he could, but you woudnt KNOW where, and he may not even pop up if he could. He had SOME scripted parts, but the fact he could randomly STARS his way in, AND chase you through a loading door was scary to say the least.
Here, he is literally on par with an Uncharted "Cutscene-Gameplay" segment. And no hate for Uncharted but its hardly immersive or scary to have to run down a corridor as things happen just behind you, knowing you are safe, because thats just how Uncharted style segments work.
In the original he had some scripted battle but there's were a lot moments in the game where he'd randomly show up out of nowhere amd and chase you through out the city.
In RE3 original Nemesis did show up pretty randomly but it also depended on the choices you made. If you picked the same choices on two playthroughs he would spawn in the same locations and you could spot the pattern; but if you picked different choices he also changed his spawn patterns pretty significantly. (Aside his scripted encounters of course)
Yes cause there one decision in the Power Station where if you made the right decision Jill would find herself surrounded by zombies where the camera changes to Nemesis on the roof killing zombies so he would be the one to kill Jill.
I played the Original RE3 more times than I can count and I can safely say this: Nemesis encounters are SCRIPTED. It doesnt happen anywhere he feels like it; he jumps out of the window at the RCPD after you get a certain key item and you make your way out to use it, same goes after extinguish the fire in the alley.
He DOES chase you around the city if you dont lose/defeat him quickly through 2 to 3 rooms.
But here's the point the review was trying to make regarding that FEEL OF RANDOMNESS: Depending on your choices, Nemesis could appear in one location instead of another. And more importantly, there are a handful of times where he could appear in front of you without any kind of warning, whereas this remake seems to introduce the "chase scene" to you via cutscene.
RE3 was my first and still my favourite RE game of all time and, IMO, getting rid of the Critical Decision System (which allowed to you to jump from escenario to escenario mid playtrhough) and the Advanced Ammo Crafting was a BIG mistake from their part.
"Resident Evil 2 Remake had multiple character and A & B scenarios"
Yeah but those 4 scenarios were almost the exact same, you might as well just played the game 4 times on the same story for how little of a difference it was. One area and One boss fight difference?
Unlike Real Re2 which had 4 distinct scenarios.
This x1000. All these idiot reviewers saying this and have never even played the OG RE2 to know what they're actually talking about. I believe it was this channel that criticized the IGN RE2make review for not mentioning the alternate scenarios when they're not even in the game. Capcom didn't even call it scenario A/B in the remake because they weren't trying to do the alternate scenarios like the original. Pretty sure they even said weeks before release that they weren't going that route, just like how they announced a while back that there would be no live choices in this.
Preach! We wanted the real scenario and flash system!
I’ve played every old school resident game and they dropped the ball with remake nemesis.
They did not drop the ball.... they did amazing. The whole "nemisis wasnt presistant enough" can stop. From the licker popping up, naked zombies, and hunters... Ohh man this game is most def survival horror. The feeling of the very end is stupid rewarding. I had very low expectations from the demo. This game was phenomenal! 😢😍
Yes, Nemesis was mostly scripted in the original but he'd change his route based on your choices along the way so you were always surprised. Also, he'd stalk you for a very long time if you chose to ignore him.
@@sonfable8809 he was scripted 100% actually, also mr x wasnt that impressive, people act like he was the alien from alien isolation.
What made "nemmy" seem not scripted was the path choices jill took changed where he popped up
Since they removed that, people think hes not scripted in the original
@@sonfable8809 ohh lol
@@brandonHines76 In the original yes some parts were scripted, but he was totally random when not tied to story progression. Only very few parts were scripted.
In the remake there's only few instances were he is random, at the start only, the rest of the game most of it is scripted.
Nemesis has always been scripted, he's never been a ''stalk you at random'' villian, but that's coming from someone that's played the original countless times. He only appeared when you triggered an event ,or you know picked up a key item. I mean I would've appreciated if he was appearing at random, but that doesn't bother me. The only reason it feels like he doesn't appear much, is because they cut most places, and things you do to trigger him where he'd actually appear, making it seem like he's always there. Also...let's be real...no remake will be as great as the 1st remake :P. I will agree however the $60 tag is a bit pricey, so best to wait for a sale if you choose that option instead.
Bro there’s a literal video of a top down view of the map from re2r showing mr x stalking real time. Makes no sense and no reason they couldn’t do it here. Isn’t the whole point of a remaster to bring new layers and so on. The real time mr x was really cool.
They should have done what dishonored did with death of the outsider, since it's too big to be a dlc and too small to be a new game that released it as kind of a 40 dollar expansion.
I think the re2 remake is better than the gamecube remake. At least they reimagined the gameplay. The re1 remake maintains the archaic isometric view and tank controls. Nostalgia fanatics can take that as a positive, but the role of a remake is to evolve the original formula to a point of making it on par with current software. And tank controls are definitely a thing of the past, born and died in the ps1 era. I still remember how people praised metal gear solid for getting rid of these obnoxious controls, even in 98 people already despised these controls.
The different paths with the live choices give the sensation of randoness,because each playthrogh was random
And the remake should have improved in that feeling specially after mr x in Resident Evil 2 remake
@@SuperMysteryboi They wouldn't be able to do it in RE3 because the city is so large that it wouldn't be feasible. The RPD is one building, so keeping Mr. X loaded is easy. If Nemesis was walking around the city streets then eventually the player would get so far away that Nemesis would have to be culled by the game engine to keep performance in check. Otherwise you'd have to keep the whole city or large portions of the city map loaded just to have Nemesis walking around.
Honestly the RE2 Remake "alternating routes" really aren't that different, The A/B scenario wasn't there in the remake.
But i still loved re2 remake and your first playthrough would take about 10 hours. But 6 hours is crazy to ask for a 60$ game i am still gonna get it full price
Cubic Man I don’t think it’s necessarily about the difference as far as story goes . It’s different as far the vibe goes . Claire and Leon are very different characters so the changed dialogue, different guns , different enemies in certain scenarios , etc. all added to the feeling of having more content . That’s what it seems like RE3 is missing .
In the original Re2 sure some areas play out the same but a lot of B scenario had different locations, items, bosses, weapon parts, etc, Re2 remake is the same shit
Atleast, in re2 remake there were 2 campaigns and the b campaign (whichever one you play) had different characters and 2 different final boss (including blob William birkin). RE3 Remake literally removed everything form the original.

"Combat in Resident Evil is not supposed to feel fun!" - spoken like somebody who never actually played the original Resident Evil 2 or 3. True, you weren't jumping around like Neo in the Matrix, but you weren't doing that in most FPSes of the time, either. Ammunition was plentiful in both those games, and killing everything in sight was not only possible, but even encouraged. The fear came from the jump scares, the atmospheric dread, the lore files that you found... combat was never a "scary" element in Resident Evil.
Honestly the whole idea of combat not supposed to be fun is disproved literally by RE2 remake. Like look at G2-5 which are pretty much just pure fun (G1 is more of a horror-y boss than a fun boss) and the Super Tyrant fight and combat nearer the end of the game where you had a full arsenal and are blasting through G adults and cooking Ivy's.
It was still never all that fun. Like, I love RE - old and new - but outside of maybe... RE6? Combat has felt super blase. It was more of a way to circumvent the "puzzle" of zombies/enemies. RE6 only felt fun because it cast aside any and all remaining horror ties and just said "Okay, hear me out, what if Resident Evil, but it was actually Devil May Cry?"
Fear from jump scares is such a childish concept. That's why I always laugh when resident evil fans says the games are scary, considering silent hill existed in the same time period. I like both and resident evil feels like a walk in the park compared to silent hill. You can fight back in resident evil + you know the threat is something mundane. Resident Evil 2 remake, yes, this one creates the right atmosphere, the jump scares are legit (because one zombie is enough to kill you early), etc.. but the isometric resident evil are laughable. And who knows, if we had a modern take on silent hill, maybe this game would make resident evil 2 remake feels childish as well.
No the fear came from not be able to see the enemy shity tank controls bad camera angles
@@cruelwraith2games926 you can hide the enemies in the over the shoulder games, also in first person. There's really no reason to add tank controls just to complicate things on purpose. The isometric camera, OK, it's acceptable... But not fucking tank controls
I feel this should have been a Uncharted The Lost Legacy situation. The studio made a 6-8 hour story mode in under a year with a lot of assets from Uncharted 4 and they charged it for 40 bucks with the previous games multiplayer with it.
Seemed like a pretty good deal for me, would you have been more lenient with RE3 if it was sold for 40 instead?
Not to mention that The Lost Legacy felt distinct in its structure with a focus on open-world exploration compared to mostly linear UC4 campaign while RE3 Remake sounds like a similar yet lesser version of what we got in RE2 Remake.
Tbf I just played through Lost Legacy and it's really well done (especially about halfway through after ow sections) for a $40 stand alone expansion. Yes pricey and granted it's not $20 CDPR expansion quality (the measure for me) but far more finely crafted and better than most fake gouged content updates/SAEs AAA puts out for $40.
it comes with 2 games the single player and the multiplayer so if you think about it your paying $30 each so the single player may not be as good as the original or re2 remake

@@Hard2hit94 bro, Mr X was chasing you in a closed environment called the RPD. There is a point in the story when the chase stops right ?
Nemesis is the same. In the original he stops chasing you at a certain point of the story. He chases you in the city. Once you're done, and make a run for it, he never chases you again until the end of game.

@@cerromeceo all I'm saying is the fact he says nemesis constantly stocked you in the original is wrong is what I'm saying. Literally go through a door and the chase is over. Remake he stocks you the first 3 hrs. Can enter save rooms etc.
arhickernell he can’t go into safe rooms, he doesn’t chase you for the first 3 hours of the game. Maybe one hour or 1hand half depending on quick you are. And He should be random because mr x was.
I’ve got the game and completed it, so I can confirm everything I’m saying as fact
@@crazysteve2395 lucky you. How you get it early? Also all the reviews I've watched or read have said different things about the time. Jim sterling has the best review imo
@@crazysteve2395 yeah mr.x wasnt random, go play re2 again and use your big boy brain. He shows up at key story beats and leaves at key story beats, the only time hes just aimlessly walking around searching for you is when he is triggered by....you guessed it, a story beat. Nemesis also works this way just based on the demo, you can stun or outrun him with doors to get away...his ai probably knows where you are, making him seem more aggressive and he jumps off buildings and shit. This dude was factually incorrect multiple times in this review.
Being one of the few that already finished the game, I wholeheartedly agree, sadly.
While RE2R felt like a faithful reimagination of the original, RE3R felt like a thrown together cash grab to ride on the wave.
While it's by no means a bad game, it is a letdown and pretty mediocre. It is very linear, short and the characters are basically thrown in without any meaning.
I played Hardcore for my first run and it took 8hs. Playing Standard for my 2nd run and I'm already halfway through again with barely an hour played, while still not skipping anything, which is hard anyway, since it's so linear to begin with.
I would recommend getting it when its on sale for 30-40 bucks, but it's not worth full price(unless you love Resistance).
Resistance is its own mess...Masterminds are completely overpowered...you can defeat any group of Survivors with ease as long as you are somewhat competent as a Mastermind.
Selth Eus so Nemesis isn’t a real time threat like Mr.X was ?
@@gaintrainwompa1133 It's like Skill Up said, all encounters with Nemesis are forced scripted events with the only variable being that where he jumps in can change based on which way you walk(for example walk towards a ladder and he jumps down in front of it, if you choose to walk down the street instead of the ladder he jumps down in the middle of the street).
What Skill Up didn't mention, which makes it even worse, is that these events only really happen during the first quarter of the game until your first boss fight against him. After that boss fight he only ever shows up again in cutscenes, or following boss fights and that's it 🙁
Honestly, this sums up my feelings for the original re3. So it really did pay homage to the original, at least in my eyes.
They shouldve made RE3 bigger and better than the original, sadly they made it smaller and actively took out content there was there before. This shouldnt cost 60 dollars. It's a budget 30 dollar title if anything.
They shouldve kept live selections/story choices. It's one of the coolest things in RE3 and added some more replayability.
"Characters are basically thrown in without any meaning" Can you expand on this without spoilers? One of the biggest things I was looking forward to in RE3R was more time with Brad, Carlos and Mikhail. Am I going to be disappointed?
Casual fan: so when do they reveal that Nemesis is her dead boyfriend ?
No just no lol
we don't talk about those bad series of films, except the 1st one, the 1st one is alright
Seasoned fans: Oh you poor sweet summer child.
Isn't it cooler if Nemesis was someone she knew and cared about? Like fighting to kill someone you loved??
@@EroticOnion23 Yeah, but they don't know that until the very end of the movie, AFTER they stop fighting, and then he turns good and helps her.
I guess people complained so much that Mr. X was "too hard" and robbed the game of it's slow paced fun that they took it to heart.
Yea, I personally was hoping for Nemisis to be a kind of more "extreme" Mr. X
Well technically Mr X was pretty much harmless, stressful on a first playthrough for sure, but you just have to walk away from him and he'll never catch up
Seeing how mobile Nemesis was in the demo, and seeing his arsenal, having him actually tail you throughout the game would probably be detrimental to the gaming experience
@@beatthebyte7058 Yea but I remember people complaining in the first week-month of release that it was too much pressure on the player. He really wasn't "hard" but when he was activated it was pretty much unscripted. It's crazy how they dropped the ball with the villain that should be precisely that.
@@Ocean5ix yes I guess some complained at first because as I said, it is a stressful encounter when doing a blind playthrough, however Mr. X mechanics (speed, AI etc) make him harmless after a few playthroughs
I'll say it again but you can straight up outwalk it, and hear him flail his arms behind you without ever being at risk, he's really the less dangerous enemy in the game
I'll have to wait a few days before hopefully getting my hands on RE3 but based on the demo I can definitely see why Nemesis' moveset would mix poorly with mr X tracking, it would make the game a hassle to play
Surely RE3 will have its share of issues but I think the comparisons with old school Nemesis and RE2make's mr X are unfair at least because they are both misrembered as unstoppable, relentless killing machines, which they definitely were not
These new age gamers who are afraid of a challenge and need everything on easy.
As much as I (may) agree or disagree with you once I've played this. I respect this incredibly well written review and all of your opinions.
Good work again.
This game felt off ever since its weird marketting. Seems the feeling I had was kinda right.
Agreed didnt have the movie like advertisements like remake 2 but I'm still going to get it because I'm a fool
It felt a little off when playing the demo, then i watched the whole game and i'm like wow this is not good. Still getting it though so I can play it myself.
I gotta be honest, I expected this game to get the same reaction as RE2 but looks like I was wrong.
@@onestop3941 why? The game is still great
@@serenseitcean2051 No one says the game is bad.. It's just it could be much better with more polish and more content rather than cutting most of what the game can offer now.. Dissapointment doesn't always denotes Bad.. It's just it's plain obvious this game of made with RE2 should be a DLC... 5 hours for a full prices game is kinda Meh.. Tbh. Not everyone is up for the Resistance MP mode so Capcom really bundled it for a blatant cash grab..
No clock tower, no Raccoon City park, no dead factory, no puzzles, no Gravedigger, no mercenaries mode, horrible writing, Jill was super cringe and unlikable in trying to be this super badass, etc. If you never played the original RE3 you will like this game, but us lifelong fans that grew up with the original were given the middle finger by Capcom. This is a $15-20 DLC at best. I’m being very generous lol...
True.
What you and many RUclipsrs say about Nemesis being a random threat in the original is complete lie. RE3's nemesis encounters were made to look random, in reality they are no random at all but scripted based on when you found a specific item or did some action, hench why it's also a gamble fighting him for his drops or running and loosing the chance to take some parts. the remake is probably not hiding this as good as the original but you shouldn't keep spreading this misinformation that the Nemesis in the original Resident Evil was a random encounter, if anything I thank everything that he wasn't because even at his current state after the first 8 or so encounters he wasn't any longer a constant heart pounding threat as you call him but a complete annoyance and probably the reason why I haven't played RE3 as much as 2 and Veronica. On the other side if the game is indeed as butchered as you say them am deeply in sorrow and frustrated at the thought that this probably happened because of this "resistance" mode's existence.
First, I agree with everything you said, BUT Resistance was made by a completely different team and wasn't meant to be an RE "game" from the start, from what I know. So no, it was probably not butchered because of it since Capcom's team didn't really work on it. But let's hope we won't be disappointed with RE3R. Still sad about the Mercenary mode not being included.
@@chizuruyato3161 well then, still as a MP game is not that good. The RE3 demo was fine (appriciate a lot the fact I don't have a timer forced on me this time around) and from what I understood from any spoiler free reviews I saw, it's good, not perfect but at least worth buying. I'll probably wait for it to drop a bit though since even if it wasn't made by Capcom I still don't want to pay 60 or 70 € for a mod I didn't like at all.
@@chizuruyato3161 REmake 3 is made by the same team who made REsistance, it wasnt made by Capcom.
Yep people who didn't even play the original going on self righteous tangents about something they have no clue what they're talking about🤣
@Cyberdemon Mike Every appearance of Nemesis in the original is 100% scripted. The live selections gave the illusion that he would show up randomly, but there is never a time where that is the case. If you don't go to a certain area first, he'll just show up in another area to intercept you. This, was also scripted.
HUNK is so much more than a "soldier" dude. Get your lore up.
No offense against SkillUp, since his reviews are usually good (and this one isn't too bad, too), but he can't remember important characters name's usually, it seems. And I'm talking about Carlos here, not HUNK.
@@chizuruyato3161 as a RUclipsr it's his responsibility that he reduces as much misinformation as possible
HUNK’s nickname is the Grim reaper and he refers to him as a normal soldier. not doing him the justice he deserves
@Kris oml shutcho bitch ass up. There's always one of you internet dweebs ready to defend the content creator like a paid attorney.
@Kris He is reviewing the game. He is a 'reviewer'. Meaning it might as well be his profession, so he better put 100% into it and, as op said, get his lore up.
The Tyrant in RE2 came out scriptedly.... So did the original Nemesis...
Nemesis was always scripted, never appearing randomly. How could all the reviewers make such blatant misstatement?
Clearly They played re2 remake an expected him to play like an mr.x deluxe seems like the “fans” wanted re2 remake part 2
yes he's scripted, but the live selection affected a lot to when and where he would show up and chase after you. That's a big difference.
@@TheAnhphuong92 Technically, the live selection event is scripted as well but, this remake was a clusterfuck that rushed through everything. I wanna forget it exists already.
RE3, When you backtrack in the city sections you always run into the chance of running into nemesis.
Resident evil was my introduction to what i call "hardcore gaming." I played Mario and other Nintendo titles, but my uncle had a ps1. One day he let my dad borrow it and play Resident Evil 2. My dad was a huge horrror fan and I would wait till my mom went to sleep and sneak downstairs to play. If my mom caught me watching my dad he would play it off like he didn't know I was there, but if I evaded her, he would let me set there and watch him play RE2. I have always loved the series as the one that really got me into gaming.
xlrmeg21 get bent, you toxic twat. Nothing wrong with the OPs choices. Think you and Nintendo need to get a room..
Nice! I used to do just the same when my dad used to play Resident Evil 2, that and silent hills.
Cool story sis
1. It’s short
2. They removed a lot of things from the original
3 . No mercenaries mode
They cut so many things, at least they should expand the RPD building that we all love and have Jill go instead of Carlos. Better for Nemesis too as he will be patroling the RPD like Mr X.
if capcom did that i bet people would be saying that capcom was being lazy and copy pasting RE2R
I think a lot of people were after the AI from the Alien in Alien Isolation, whilst it would definitely add to the realism to have Nemisis ambush you in certain areas that may or may not happen, I’m not sure how well it would fit, the key area of concern would be that RE3 is mostly about confrontation and Alien Isolation is all about avoiding it.
Bro, that's literally how Nemesis was in the PS1 og game.
I feel people misrepresent what the A and B scearnios truly were in RE2 remake....they switched a few things up but you still go through the same levels. If you're a one and done type of gamer that's really not enough to consider it a "fresh new experience" imo not sure why people are railing so hard on it's length when it's basically identical to RE2 remake.
Sameee re2 was great but it's the same thing playing as claire or leon (minor cutscenes changes and sherry and Ada gameplay )
B scenario in REmake 2 is trash compared to the B scenarios in the original. It's barely different whereas in the og you literally had to plan ahead on which special item you would take or leave on your first playthrough so on the B one you could pick them up. Plus Mr X only appeared in B scenario.
*See's title*

that title is like a punch in the gut.
Why? He's right. Unlike in the lazy doom eternal review
@@albertnicolau4139 I watched both reviews. I do agree on his view Doom Eternal. I gotta play RE3 first before anything else.

I agreed with him on Doom Eternal. It's an excellent game and I'm having quite a lot of fun with it. But I liked Doom 2016 better 🤷♂️
Just looking at re2 remake vs re3 remake. Re2 remake was a lot better
No Clocktower
No Racoon City Park
No Dead Factory
yeah i'm agree, this game should be a DLC for Resident Evil 2 for $10 rather than a standalone $60 game.
"In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut"
Are you serious?! Or did we just not play the same game? RE2R is the definition of cut content.
And RE3 was never originally meant to be a mainline game so that's why it was so short back then too.
exactly, I don't get why people is so mad about this game's length. Maybe because they're comparing it with RE2 remake and not the original Resi 3 lol

Reviews are good yes but re2 was just like this
@@thedarkapex5327 he will play it for himself
When its dropped in price
@@thedarkapex5327 Not everyone has the money or time to spend playing something that they may not like. The whole point of reviews is to inform you about whether a purchase is worthwhile. And RE2 was getting much better reviews at launch this one.
airWickTV seems like a wise choice
I agree. I still want it, but during these times it is too expensive for a short experience.
You forgot one important thing:
RE3:R lacks a LOT of brutality and realism RE2:R has. Zombies can't trip over dead corpses anymore, you can't shoot them in half, you can't damage a dead zombie anymore and their physics have been deactivated, the details of the body gore effects have been neutered, bodyparts vanish into thin air, etc. It's still gory, yes...but the changes destroy a lot of immersion. It's a huge downer for me and one major reason I won't buy it although I love RE2:R.
Are you serious???!!! This is worth actually boycotting the damn game over it pisses me off soo bad. Censorship will not be tolerated
Yeah think I'll pass. Not a fan of downgrades
@@MrSwitchblade327 Actually, it's more about the amount of processing power it takes to render dozens of zombies with 4-5 layers of detail in the much wider stages present in RE3R. Demo still had exploding heads and popping limbs, just not as detailed mesh damage.
Plus 5 hour play time is not worth it
@@Jim26D RE2 was 5-6 hr...
Carlos should of got his own campaign.
Agreed
I loved this Carlos
It would be cool like the way Ada had her mini campaign in re4
If IGN didn't recommend the game they would get so much hate.
Jonty Bray yup they gave it a 9
I mostly trust PC Gamer reviews and User reviews(on Steam, not Metacritic, atleast they bought and played the game before reviewing it)
Just finished it and I personally had a great time. I don't agree with your thoughts about reusing some of the RE2 locations... I loved that inclusion and the connection with it all.. it helped to enhance the experience for me between the two games. I do agree that it's not worth the listed price tag.. but well worth it on discount. Had a really good time with this.
Short game doesn't mean Bad game. Would you rather pay $60 for 100 hours for a lack luster time sink with repeat objectives or $60 for a 10 hour well crafted experience that makes every moment memorable and worth multiple playthroughs? The problem with the game isn't how short it is but how lackluster the content within the game is.
@WarnerAnime 020 be*
That implies the shorter the game, the better it has to be. This game lasts 5 hours and costs 60 bucks. To be worth that price in such short time, the game should be so good to basically define new standards and a new generation. Do you think is this the case for RE3?
@@giovannibrena3913 No. My point is simply length does not associate to value. According to the reviewer the games flaws weren't so much how short it was but the time spent in it was underwhelming.
@@LifeLongRiot Usually lenght does associate with value, since lenght usually depends on amount of content put in the game. What you mean is that a short game could still be worth, and you're right. But, again, that implies the shorter the game, the better it has to be. According to the reviewer, the game is good, but too short (or not good enough) to cost $60.
@@giovannibrena3913 Its only my opinion and I respect your perspective. If I had more then 1 day a week to play games my opinion might differ.
RE 5 and 6 fans are gonna love this game.
After beating this game I now realize how much the puzzles and backtracking bogged down re2's runtime.
THIS THIS THIS. This is the exact thought I had when playing through it.
But isn't that the fun of it? The first time you play the game you need to explore and backtrack often because you suddenly need an item and then in your next playtrough you know where things are and you can get a faster time and try to manage your inventory in a way you don't need to backtrack a lot. That's why the RE games have a lot of replayability.
Yep basically
@@hetswoarmakanaal5190 actually they have replayability because of all the new game + unlocks. if there wasnt an incentive to go back and play it again most people wouldnt
Then you don’t understand what Resident Evil is about. That has been the loop of RE since the original
I completed it in just under 4 hours, honestly I am still satisfied with what I got, yes it could be longer, but does it really need to be. I thought is was a fast paced, competent story. I think I honestly prefer this game to the original. I am working on a second playthrough now. I am still enjoying it finding things I missed the first time, and having a blast killing zombies.
Thanks for the legit review.
Gonna wait for sale.
It's funny to see that many people are talking about how Skill Up forgot about the enemies that weren't in RE2 and the way the scenarios were handled in RE2 Remake and that's enough for some of them to undermine the entire review
I mean, he is wrong about those things, but the rest of the review is pretty solid and we've lost many things that were in the original and even things that RE3 Remake should have done better than RE2
The review is solid but "In 2 no sacrifices were made, no corners were cut" Made me feel like he did not play the original RE2 or did not do the research on it before reviewing.
@@TeamSakurasou It's even worse since he said that he played the original, but at that point it just looks like he lied or even forgot the stuff from the classics and put it in the script anyway
Hakageryuu re3 remake is bad and a blatant cash grab. Congrats you played yourself
This review really should have been a DLC... since it's pretty good overall but has some glaring issues.
The only misinformation in this review is Nemesis being able to chase you everywhere and appear at random places. Even in the original he is just story beats. The rest is pretty disappointing to see the game being so short and that a lot of things were cut. And the action is a very debatable topic since a lot of people say the game is fun and a lot say it isn’t. It was my only pre order of this gen and I’m already regretting it.
Well there is also the entire thing about RE2 remake cutting nothing which is nonsense to such a degree one has to wonder whether he even ever played the original.
raped Slime that’s also true. RE2 remake cut the entirety of the b scenarios and because of that the game’s story became terrible. And since this comment I’ve read Carci’s tweets about the game and he said that the game is fun. And Carci is a big fan of the RE series as a whole, so I will always believe more in him.
I had a response.. but .. I’m only able to focus on “raped slime” 😐😂
I cancelled my pre-order on steam
Creatine is amazing I was thinking about doing it too. But when it comes to RE Carcinogen is way more reliable than skill up. And Carci said that the game was fun. Now I’m way more relieved and waiting to play it.
Nemesis always pursued you only at specific sections in the original.
Jt Jose exactly thank you!! But mr x does it and it’s mind blowing and genre defining. However nemesis does it better and more unpredictably and it’s so bad and boring?? wtf?? Lol
@Earthbound Aesthetics Not really. All it usually takes is 3 rooms to get away from him in original
I am Till x only chases you for 2 sections in the game lol
Jt Jose Thank you, these people acting like this is a huge downgrade are crazy. The game is short and probably should of been $40 but Skill continues to make mistakes in his reviews... Kinda considering unsubbing after a variety of poorly thought out reviews disguised by overly long metaphors... Idk
Not exactly. He was chasing you only in specific sections but only if you choose the same options everytime. His spawning patterns were heavily dependant on your actions in specific moments of the game. The thing is, many people just plan their optimal way of playing the game so they never see how differently Nemesis could've appeared.
Just finished my first playthrough..man they really had a chance for another game of the year if they would of spent more time going above and beyond like they did with 2.
the game was teased, announced and released way too early and quick, that is already a dead giveaway that capcom didnt spend a lot of time making RE3 remake, they fiddle around with a multiplayer gamemode that people dont ask for. hope they add A DLC to atleast rectify the barebones gameplay.
It's been in dev since the re2 remake went into dev, resistance was made by a team seperate from them using the same engine. RE3 is notably short with the original game clocking in around 3 and a half to 4 hours and even with the story branches, which literally only change 1 thing in the actual ending or add about 15 minutes of differences total , it's still notably shorter than the remake . Actually do research
Ike of Pyke clearly 3 years wasn’t enough for this game because instead of adding on to an already short game they cut things out, I feel like if you want to defend it your go to shouldn’t be blaming the original game for this remakes issues because the whole point would be to fix them
They wanted to cash out on all us super fans blowing our loads over the trailer...
The remakes are side dishes of finger food to pick at whilst they cook the main meal, Resi 8. Its likely a next Gen launch title and from rumours kinda ambitious and vastly different from the old. More like Konami's Silent Hill Im guessing. So these are just small titles to please fans and keep the brand in peoples nminds before the semi rebooted 8.
@@prl4122 except it's longer than the original game even with said cuts. Edit: Much like how RE2 is longer than the original though it's got a notably amount cut as well,which others have mentioned.
Also the point of a remake isn't always to fix things, but to simply update them for modern day, this holds true with stuff like Bionic Commando Rearmed, resident evil 1/2 remakes & dead rising 2 off the record... Oh hey they're all capcom games
Have you tried playing parasite eve? It's quite interesting. The first game is more horror orientated and the second a lot more action oriented.

Wait, wasnt nemesis scripted and not random at all? Did ralph not play the original before reviewing the remake?
srai12snake I doubt he played the original RE2 as he said “RE2R didn’t cut anything” even though so much was cut from it
They turned mr X into a non scripted enemy in the remake so why is far fetched for people to want that for 3. I don't understand this argument
MaxPaynefan1 cause people complained he was to hard. Lol so thank those people for ruining nemesis. lol
MaxPaynefan1 Okay so what do people mean by he is scripted because in Downtown Raccoon City when he is out and following the player he is on you a lot more then Mr. X doesn’t leave when you’re inside safe areas and or places he can’t get to and instead just sits outside and wait for you like Mr. X who will watch you enter a room before deciding aight I’m out and is way more persistent.
Myriad Despair I mean, I’m fine with a review done without playing the original, but stating an opinion about how they changed upon remake based on misinformation is just wrong.
Dude!!! I was so hyped to get this! Thank you for making me think this twice!
Gonna pass on this one as a hardcore RE3 fan, not worth it they cut out too much stuff like the Grave Digger / Clock Tower and even the Park areas. Even the essentials are gone like the choice mechanic, multiple endings, Mercenaries. Also they have removed poison, blue herbs, spiders and a bunch more interesting mechanics what made the original stand out.
Guy Mcface Nigga no it wasn’t, I understand when people let nostalgia hinder there judgement but if what he said is true then this ain’t one of those times
Guy Mcface He is true though. They literally cut content and you say he is blinded by nostalgia? How when they took stuff from the game?
replayability of RE3R is way worse, than RE2R, i finished all achievements today, basically in 1 week without any problems and i played not often, finished a game in total around 7-8 times. To gather all achievements in RE2R i played much more, somewhere around a month, plus i played chalenges on RE dot net too.
I'm confused about nemesis encounters in remake. They were all scripted in og RE3 as well, what he meant is that they are all boss battles or there are not as much of them this time?
*From what I am gathering, he seems to be referencing these two things:*
1.) In the original, Nemesis would spawn at more times, during which you needed to backtrack all around Raccoon City in no specific order. This did a good job of at least creating the illusion that you were being actively hunted, while you were freely roaming Raccoon City, deciding where your next route would be, and weighing the risks of leaving the safe areas while he was at large. In the remake, he is making it sound as though a lot more of Nemesis' scripted appearances are during situations, in which the only direction you can go is forward. So more of the scripted appearances feel exactly like ordinary scripted set-pieces, and Nemesis comes across more often as Ustanak from RE6, rather than the original Nemesis or even new Mr. X in RE2 Remake.
2.) Nemesis starts transforming his Tyrant body in the middle of the story, rather than at the very end. Once he begins his transformations, he then only confronts you during mandatory boss fights or interactive cutscenes. In the original, Nemesis continued to stalk in his humanoid form as Jill was exploring the clock tower, Carlos was returning from the hospital, and when Jill started leaving the clock tower to go through the Raccoon Park. I heard people criticizing that this makes Nemesis feel more like how William Birkin was implemented than how the old Nemesis was.
Mark Cobuzzi
So he turned from Nemesis to William Birkim?
@@markcobuzzi826 whoa damn you explained this way better than this reviewer lol
Basically, we all wanted Mr X and instead got a load of scripted events that make Nemesis go form terrifying in the original to annoying in the remake.
@@OpenWorldGamer- if you paid atention to the review (AND played the original), you would've "gathered" the same things that he did, because i did and what Mark explained is exactly what "this reviewer" meant.
I was worried about the game when they said it would release only a year after the re2 remake
You're right,it seriously looks like they rushed it.
Yeah unfortunately I was blinded by my love of resident evil 3. Once I got the demo and I was disappointed, I got a lot of flack from fanboys (even though I had valid criticisms and they were because Resi 3 is my favorite in the series next to 4). Unfortunately I had pre ordered the game on PSN day one so there’s nothing I can do now. I was also thinking “oh, maybe they made the demo a while ago and they’ve developed the game a lot more by now” but more spoiler free reviews I’m watching more my fears get confirmed and it breaks my heart.
HotnessGaming me too, I’m sure if they left it another year it would have been amazing
Charlie that’s what I’ve been thinking
This. In fact I called this myself as soon as I heard the April 2020 release date. I was very skeptical that it would be released so soon after 2 (even though it was going to use roughly the same assets/engine only modified).
Should have given us Mercenaries.

2 ending, multiple ways to play & every run will feel different, because some puzzle change their code each time you load the game, by dying & before confirmation, but the randomizing usually only have 4 variation, so your chance of one shotting a puzzle is 25% instead of RE2 100% memorization
This time, randomization is completely in dodge mechanic
Why all the dislikes? I actually thought this was a really thoughtful review. Mind you, I didn't play either the original or the remake, but Ralph did, and these are his opinions. I can see why those of you who played the original would have different opinions from Ralph, but those are his opinions. You have all the right to disagree with him, but here's a reminder to be civil with your discussions. Don't be on the defensive whenever something negative is said about the game, instead come up with an equally thoughtful rebuttal and phrase it well. I'm sure Ralph willingly accepts constructive criticism.
P.S. Love from Penang! ❤
Haha civility in the youtube comments section... the butthurt fanboys can't be having that...
What.....?
The demo left me with a profound sense of meh, whereas the demo for RE2 instantly had me preorder.
Same, it was actually scary.
@@bpsc9882 that's cuz u saw them before in res 2 and ur not impressed anymore believe me if 3 remake came first u would feel the same "meh" for 2 all these critics i think came from that ur full ur not starving like we did back for res 2 remake
i recommend don't base ur idea on these ppl complaints try it u won't regret it
Nothing in the demo could've given you the conclusion that it was "meh" since you know it's a demo. Most likely you weren't impressed because you played RE2R. It's the same old Dark Souls discussion, the first one people play is usually the hardest and the next ones are easier.
@@salarsohrabi5123 I think youre right.
Most of you are hating on him for his nemesis commentary.. why are none of you focused on the 79.99$ (Canada) price tag for a full game..?
This is literally during a time when a lot of you or your parents are waiting for a handout from your government because you’ve lost work. Yet it phases NONE of you that this game is so short for so much money?!
I think nemesis is under-utilized in a boss fight perspective and not him chasing you around, he is missing some forms like William and Mr X, but the fight with him doesn't quite live up to them.
Btw eveyone seems to forgot that a lot of people hated how much nemesis is on your ass in the OG RE3 but now everyone is saying he did not chase you enough
Wow that was disappointing. Can't believe they took their time to shoehorn a multiplayer mode instead of fleshing out the main game. Great review as usual!
Nah, the game was outsourced. A completely different team worked on Resistance so even if it didn't exist REmake 3 would've been the same. REmake 2 already cut bunch of corners so I expected the same to happen to 3. But once they announced no Mercenaries mode I lost interest.
Removing Resistance this should have been a $15 DLC for REmake 2 or $20 standalone. Give those people who already bought the first one something to keep them invested as fans in a new half assed product.
Sounds like I'm going to feel the same about the remake as I did the original. I'm still gonna get it though. Need to add a little spice to my quarantine days.

You can tell, from a structural standpoint, that the developers either ran out of money or time on this one when it came time to push this game out from the higher ups at Capcom.
The quick of it without spoilers is: RE3make is divided into roughly 5 Acts. Acts 1, 3, & 5 you play as Jill, while in Acts 2 & 4 you play as Carlos. While there are certainly potential issues people might have with Acts 1, 2, 4, and 5, I think they work for the most part. It's Act 3 that's the real problem.
In the released game, Act 3 is literally just an interstitial path to a boss fight, then the boss fight, and buffered with cutscenes on all ends. In the original RE3 this is where the game slows down in two areas: the Park and the Clock Tower/City Hall. You deal with a different boss monster entirely, and its where you encounter the games notoriously toughest puzzle. It's a needed lull period in between all the action that adds a bit more of the survival horror to the experience (especially the horror, because the gravedigger is pretty gross).
You can tell they were working on this at SOME point too, because they modeled the Clock Tower exterior and you see a lot of trees and public park like models and objects around on part of the interstitial path to the cutscene that starts the boss fight. Assets like these don't get modeled in the photogrammetry method they're using for the RE engine for no reason because it's actually really costly to do so. At some point they were planning a fuller park/clock tower sequence.
It's a shame it was cut, because the game needs it. As much as it needs a stalker AI for Nemesis, Live Selection, and Mercenaries. I only really have hope that we'll get Mercenaries though, since it's literally a model swap mini-game that re-uses sections of levels already in the game based on racking up high scores against a timer, and all of the models in the OG mercenaries mode - Mikhail, Carlos, and Nikolai, are all already in the game.
The reason they were cut because it was rushed, capcom should've took at least 2 or 3 years to complete and polish the remake. Capcom just wanted to get this game out a year after the re2 remake, just to rush it out of the door.
Personally i think RE2R and RE3R are there to appeal to different audiences. 2 is for survival horror and speed running, 3 is for action and re play ability. Id say they contrast each other
1999: Resident Evil 3: *Nemesis*
2020: Resident Evil 3, oh and we added a little bit of Nemesis here and there.
I'm playing RE3 op PS1 now, and in that game nemesis is semi-scripted.
He only apears at set locations and you can manipulate where and when he shows his mug.
Excellent review my friend, and I'm only half way through it. I felt very short-changed by RE2 due to the fact that they could have easily implemented the zapping system to add a shit-ton of replayabiliby to the game, but for whatever reason they chose not to. Before RE2 remake was even announced I always contemplated that it would come with a dynamic option to play parallel with another player - you play scenerio A/B while they play scenerio B/A and you'd meet at select meeting points to take on a boss, solve a puzzle etc. Anyway, I digress. The fact that RE3 is only FIVE hours long and excludes large chunks of the original is a kick in the teeth. Not only that but RE3 does not need to be more action paced. Sure it can have its moments, but it doesn't need to sway away from the whole reason why we fell in love with the RE games in the first place. Did they not learn anything from RE6, and how they turned it back around with RE7? Nevertheless, I won't be buying this and will happily wait for it to come out on PS+ next year.
Resistance has been overwhelming. Its like a confusing mess. Could be fun if they explained more in depth wtf everything does
Resistance is so bad. I was hyped to play the beta and deleted it within twenty minutes. Its like all the worst parts of Resident Evil and none of the cool multiplayer elements from RE6 or Revelations 2. come annnnnn guys
It’s pretty simple, I got it on the first trailer. One mastermind, 4 survivors. Nothing too complex, you should try to pay more attention
I would have to completely disagree with you, I downloaded resistance and ya there was a bit of a learning curb but once I got the hang of it I loved it and played it all weekend, i have hours on it. If you like 4vs1 games then you'll like this!
Matthew Lol I love these clowns that try to flex on the internet. Have fun playing then cool guy. 😂
AntiViruz42 I’m not flexing. I’m saying I understood it, pay attention
The fact that a game made 20 years ago having better boss enemy AI as well as more areas, playability, choices, endings and so on, than a modern game, speaks volumes about how AAA developers see the modern market and reflect the consumers as well on what we collectively allow and reject. Its pathetic.
The problem pretty much was that they were working on RE2, 3 & 8 basically at the same time, such a shame.
@@user-cm4op2kz3y nah, it was a selective and intentional decision by the director to leave all of that content out. They had the time and money, That's the worst part about this.
You claim that you're a fan of the original, but I really feel that you're remembering it incorrectly. Nemesis did not behave randomly in the original, and I don't know how so many environments could be missing, there we only a few to begin with. Anyone expecting this to be even remotely as good as 2 was kidding themselves, it was apparent the moment they announced the multiplayer would be included. This is remake of the weakest title in the franchise, this was never going to compare to 2 unless they rebuilt it, but that isn't a remake. I respect your opinion but so much of what you're saying rings false. They should have left the branching paths I completely agree. But 5 hours, did you just rush or was it remotely completionist? My first demo run was 1 hour how could this only be 5? Are you misremembering Nemesis? Because it sounds like it's exactly the same. Are there really large sections of the game missing? I'll have to see for myself but this feels like a case of unrealistic expectations. Lastly, I really don't like the concept that multiple reviewers are throwing around that this should be dlc, it doesn't matter what the original intent was. RE3 was a full retail game with it's own strengths and weaknesses and this is a remake of that, I really don't agree that tacking it on to another title to pretend it didn't really exist is a massive overreaction. I really hope the negativity around this title doesn't prevent other remakes, which was my exact fear when I heard 3 was next, it is not as good as people remember.
Shuya82 re3 is not the weakest in the series and the multiplayer was made by a different studio
Another fanboi in denial who cannot accept that RE3 Remake is insanely inferior compared to the previous remakem
@@TheWitchking123 he doesnt have to accept it if he dont want to
@@TheWitchking123 RE3 was weaker, shorter and inferior to RE2.
I feel this sounds faithfull to the original one.
Alex I that belongs to the cv
Looks like I’ll be waiting for this to go on sale. In Canada new games are $80 plus tax and I am definitely not paying that much for a single player campaign of 5-6 hours.
MayteraMarble 80 dollars? You Canadians need to smarten up and elect someone who isn’t totally ass fucking your economy.
Sounds like you won't be waiting long. If I recall correctly, RE 2 went on sale pretty fast.
My guy, 80 fuckin dollars plus tax?
@@ripvanwinkler1548 It's been like this for ~10 years, so before Trudeau, but I agree nonetheless.
Same. I was super excited for it but after seeing thoughts on it from those that got it early, I'll wait for this to hit the $40 area.
The amount of content in this game does not justify the $59.99 price attached to it.
Holy shit that monokuma pfp
59 is a good price for re3 and re resistance
@@gantonbloods explain
@@kongfeet81 well you it's a bundle, (RE3 and RE résistance). So you get 2 games for that price
Dont worry. The price will be realistic maybe in 6 months
This game has revealed how many people have rose tinted glasses about RE 2 remake.
