General News Dump

Resident Evil 3 was officially confirmed today at Sony's State of Play event, and comes with the previously advertised Resident Evil: Resistance.

Both titles will be released on 3 April, 2020.



As shown in the latter video, there's also an amazing "Collector's Edition" available, that is very similar to the Resident Evil 2 one.

Feel free to replace this image with a better one; I couldn't get rid of the control settings.

Is there a reason why there aren't general threads for each game? it'd be nice to have if we want to post something related to a game that is not specific to the threads we have.

The demo of RE2 is available again and it has been updated with something...

 
Capcom has completely removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from Resident Evil 2 Remake

Resident Evil 2 Remake was arguably one of the best games of 2019. However, Capcom originally decided to use the controversial Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Well, we are happy to report today that the Japanese team has completely removed Denuvo from its title.

As we reported in our PC Performance Analysis article, Resident Evil 2 Remake is mostly a GPU-bound title. As such, you should not expect any major performance improvements other than better loading times if you’re using a high-end system. Still, it’s good witnessing Capcom removing Denuvo from its older triple-A games.

Back in May 2019, Capcom had accidentally released a Denuvo-free version of Resident Evil 2 Remake. And according to some initial benchmarks, the Denuvo-free version of Resident Evil 2 Remake can actually benefit lower-tier PC systems. After all, the game appeared to be running faster by 4-12fps without the Denuvo tech.

It will be interesting to see now whether Capcom has further improved and optimized its game for lower-tier PC hardware. It will also be interesting to see whether the performance gap between the Denuvo and the Denuvo-free versions is still that noticeable.

Have fun!

Resident Evil 3 Producers Masao Kawada and Peter J. Fabiano shared multiple new details via a Famitsu interview we translated.

962

Capcom revealed new details on the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 3 in this week’s Famitsu magazine, through an interview with Producers Masao Kawada and Peter J. Fabiano. Here are the biggest points brought up in the interview.

In a nutshell, Resident Evil 3 is about showing the beautifulness and strength of Jill Valentine, and the dread of the Nemesis. While Jill’s design has changed a bit to fit with how the game is more action-oriented than the original, the team kept in mind she’s one of the most popular protagonists of the series and made sure to not change her image too much. Carlos looks different too, but he still has the same hot-blooded personality. If you miss the original designs, they’re included as preorder bonuses DLC for the game.

Next, we also learned via the Famitsu interview that Resident Evil 3‘s development is pretty much complete. Masao Kawada promised the game definitely won’t be delayed from its April 2020 release. Capcom is currently handling the final adjustments of the game, and these are nearly done too, at around 90%.

This REmake will overall be more action-oriented than Resident Evil 2 Remake, all while keeping the charm of the series. The story in RE3 will be starting before the beginning of RE2 and end after its ending. RE3 will also have more changes compared to its original game than what Capcom did with RE2.

Resident Evil 3 was officially announced in early December with a first trailer. The game also has a nice limited edition and here are the first details and screenshots. Some Nemesis teasers were also added to the RE2 demo, and the full game is over 5 million copies sold.

Resident Evil 3 and its multiplayer mode Resident Evil Resistance are coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on April 3, 2020. You can preorder the game on Amazon.

Just a friendly reminder this thread is for dumping news to post on the front page only, not discussion. If discussion worthy, I strongly advise making a thread for the news as well. I moved a good amount of conversation into its own corresponding threads today. Take care and thanks for the contributions always.
 
A Very Creepy Enemy Has Been Confirmed For Resident Evil 3 Remake

READ THE ORIGINAL STORY: www.wegotthiscovered.com

by Dylan Chaundy

With the upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake just around the corner, Capcom has been busy drip-feeding fans with a ton of tantalizing details about their much-anticipated project. The latest of which is the confirmation that a familiar enemy type will be making a reappearance in the iconic survival-horror series.

That’s right, Mutant Worms, also known officially as Sliding Worms, will be making their bloodstained return to the franchise. These deadly, snake-like critters love to hang out in groups and enjoy leaping from the ground to latch onto your skin to suck your sweet, sweet blood. I know. Ew, right?

Interestingly, these squirmy wretches are merely the cute bambinos of Grave Diggers, which are much bigger and much nastier adversaries that function as boss encounters in the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Grave Diggers reproduce by laying eggs in the sewers, and sometimes in the very ground below your feet. They can also potentially lay hundreds of eggs at a time and under the right conditions, these eggs will hatch quickly. Within around 2 hours, the creepy leech-like creatures known as Sliding Worms will come out to play (read: eat your squidgy face). As they suck your blood, they even turn from white to red in-game. *shivers*

Thankfully, they’re not the most powerful foes in the OG 1999 PS1-era title, and can be easily dispatched with a well-aimed shot from a firearm. That said, you’ll likely be contending with a bunch of ’em at a time, so they can still prove a handful, especially if you’re running low on supplies. Furthermore, their inclusion also means that an appearance from their full-grown Grave Digger adult form is very likely indeed. Color us intrigued!

The Resident Evil 3 remake is scheduled to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on April 3. As always, stay tuned for further updates.

Latest Edge issue meets Resident Evil 3's Nemesis

by Ben Tyrer


Resident Evil 3 producer Peter Fabiano has spoken to Edge magazine about redesigning Jill Valentine for the remake.
In issue 343 of Edge, which you can buy here, Fabiano opened up on the character's practical redesign for this remake. He said, “When we approached Jill, if you look at the original we had to do what we needed to make her stand out.

“But with this game, everything is on a photorealistic level; it’s more of a believable atmosphere we’re trying to create. We want to have a Jill that fit in that, but still stayed true to her original personality and essence. And that’s really how we came about the new Jill.”

On top of that, Edge's Chris Schilling got the chance to spend a few hours with the game, exploring how Nemesis and Racoon City have evolved in the latest Resident Evil remake, as well as taking on the new multiplayer add-on, Project Resistance. The new issue also includes concept art for Resident Evil 3, giving us a look at early sketches of Jill, Carlos, and some of the locations you'll be trying to avoid Nemesis in. Our personal favourite is the look at Moon's Donuts, if only for the ablaze zombie in the corner.
