I still don't own the game because of the
C-Virus Coronavirus nonsense but I've watched playthroughs because it's my favorite RE game. So I'll post a couple of thoughts here:
- Jill Valentine: Now, it's no secret that she's my favorite character here and I have to admit I was initially scared Capcom turned her into a whiny princess (as it was my reactions from early trailers) but thankfully that's not the case and I feel relieved. She's confident, sassy and badass as they come. Sure, she inherited Claire's Tourette Syndrome but I can live with that, in fact, some lines made me chuckle like
"It's my turn now, Bitch!" or
"Bitch can't even swim." LMAO. I was cool with her new face from the beginning, although I still think her new outfit is a bit generic, but hey, it's more practical this time. My favorite was the final show-down between Jill and Nemesis, where she showed him who's the boss:
I know it's quite ridiculous for a petite woman like Jill carrying a huge ass railgun like nobody's business but it's cool at the same. Jill surely makes a guy like me who's been doing weightlifting/bodybuilding for 6 years look like a damn whimp hahaha. I'm kinda happy how she turned out, as I always felt they turned her into a doormat even after the original RE3, so it was damn good to see her back to her badass self.
- Carlos Oliviera: He's still the Carlos we know, flirty, funny but still kickass but at the same time, he kinda felt useless in the Remake. In the original he felt like he helped you, now he just assists Jill and that's all. Maybe it's Capcom's way of saying
"He appeared in just one game thus he ain't important anyway"
- I loved how Tyrell is more involved this time
- They kept the original music like Final Metamorphosis, Save Room Theme and The Ending theme which I loved.
Now let's go to some cons:
- I didn't like how they removed the Clocktower section. It was one of my favorites.
- I wasn't fond of Nemesis' mutations. In his second he looked like G4 and in his last form, he resembled the Alien Queen.
- The Waste Room battle in the original was better. It's my favorite Nemesis battle in the game
- The lack of ambience music like The City of Ruin, but that's what most modern games fail to do anyways, so it isn't mainly just a problem for modern RE. Other series that are old have the same problem, imo.
Okay, I gotta play it myself to give a more extensive and detailed overview, as I like to look at small details and such. Give me two weeks until my copy arrives
