RE:3 RE:3 is out!

I'm in no hurry to play this again. I honestly do not want to see any more remakes, considering this one was without a soul. Or at least, I don't want any more reimaginings for many years to come, so they can try to prove to us real fans that they still have some gas left in the tank when it comes to new stories. Rehashing old games and whatnot, just leaves us feeling like they cannot move forward in a good way.
 
There are a bunch of these online but it's annoying how some areas are just locked away and scrapped instead of being polished and used.

 
I understand why people think RE4 “ruined” the franchise and in some ways it did lead it down a bad path but, I think most people forget before RE4 Resident Evil hadn’t been significant in a looooong time. When RE4 came out I went to pick it up at GameStop that morning and I was only one there. When I went to get my RE5 preorder at midnight the line was out the door. Without RE4 we wouldn’t be getting the awesome RE2 Remake.

it ruined franchise to me because it was soft reboot without any payoff for umbrella downfall that other previous RE games endings were building up. The main cast is going after umbrella (2,3,CV). which was going to be the main plot of RE3.5 even zero was set up to be prequal/connected for RE 3.5 and then we get replaced "current" story was not even good.

I have more problems with RE4 then just it being an action game if RE4 was new IP I would be fine with it.

Most RE4 "fanbase" are made up of people did not play or weren't fan of RE franchise who got into it because of the hype and it was fun shooter and it flaws as RE game got overlooked that it wasn't a good resident evil game.
 
I’m fed up discussing REimagined 3 so l will say one last thing. It’s up to the fans to create a faithful remake to this beloved title. After seeing fan projects trying to recreate RE1.5, 3.5, and even REmake in over the shoulder, it is up to the fans to correct the wrongs of Capcom.

Going by the recent remakes alone, I am scared what they will change next when it comes to the lore. An actual remake of RE3 has so much potential, and would add MORE and not LESS to the story.
 
Someone on the forums for Upcoming Horror Movies said Capcom is the best they've ever been!

HA! HA! HA! ?

Opinions, of course.
He's not entirely wrong. I'd argue they were doing pretty damn great until RE3. RE7 and RE2 were pretty fantastic and did very well critically and were a good return to roots after the disaster of RE6. DMC5 was also amazing and everything everyone wanted from a sequel to DMC4. It was definitely well worth the wait for me anyway. And Monster Hunter World/Iceborne was the game that finally got me into monster Hunter and I've put over 200 hours into that game. Not to mention it's sold amazing and has been received very well. Just because RE3 was disappointing doesn't mean the company is suddenly terrible.

Could be a lot worse, they could be Naughty Dog right now. :rolleyes: Whoops
 
Someone needs to mod the city and allow access to places that were cut, or at least make it so that going back out of the train station leads back to the first area. If they can screw around and put in dinosaurs just for fun someone can make actual content.
 
The beginning of the game in Jill's apartment was pretty cool. I think that's one of the few parts I actually like. The rest of it has already gone whoosh outta my brain, and I don't care that it has. It's that unmemorable!

Shitbird?! Take a f*cking hint?! It's like Arklay on steroids?! Meh. The dialogue is so very bad, and it's arguably worse than RE from 1996.

Yet somehow, I cannot say it's the worst game I've ever played. I guess Capcom has that way with people.
 
The Chronicles games were boring shooting games. However, what they did right was reimagine RE2 and 3 in the right sort of way. The modern day games suck due to the awful dialogue from the writers. Sack their butts, Capcom, and bring back greatness.

I disagree about 7 and RE2 '19 being fantastic. RE7 started this trend of lackluster mediocrity and the remakes afterward just continued it and reinforced it with each entry. It is really unfortunate that Capcom (with the exception of Street Fighter) have had good games while the RE franchise has been floundering.

But yes, they could be actively spitting in their consumers faces like ND. But with how many companies in the past five years have turned face, it wouldn't be a surpise if they were next.

Mediocre game at best, but I'd put this below the mediocre bar actually. There is a serious lack of content and even love and care put into this game. And I'm saying this because I'm comparing RE2 remake to this, RE2 even got things that RE3 should have had like a bunch of outfits, extra game modes and other nice extras like Wesker's samurai edge and the original RE3 soundtrack should have been part of the package.

This game is simply not worth $60 it should have been around $40 like Maneater

I mean, you have the right to your opinion but the general consensus seems to think otherwise:

It's not just critics but I've seen most other places highly praise both these games and they're generally highly regarded unlike RE3. RE2 Remake is nothing compared to REmake in my own opinion and I was disappointed with a lot of it upon release but it still was probably in the top 5 games I played in 2019. RE3 I feel like has been utterly forgotten in comparison already and it only came out a few months ago.
