RE:3 RE3 Directors Cut
- Thread starter Cindy B
- Start date
Capcom soiled the bed with the RE3 remake, but the RE2 remake was bland as well. Even the gas station just appears in the distance, as if Capcom intended to skimp on adding in every location from the 1999 original. Hereby making it a vastly worthless remake, that for whatever reason, never even included Barry at the end either. 
My fandom for this series has been left with… the fans. I am done with Capcom if they don’t go back and finish RE3 in the next few years. Revelations 3 and RE9 would have to knock it out of the park and we all know that is not going to happen ;p

Not attacking you Russ but why do u think this is a "finished product"? because Capcom had deemed it as such? Its a frustrating situation because if u played the OG and REmake back to back they feel like completely different games. If this wasn't marketed as a "campaign portion to Resistence" it would have had a bigger budget and better marketing. The whole game should of been handled in house and not outsourced!
Well, I finally bought the retail version. Last year with all of the lockdown commotion, I wasn't sure I would get a copy. So I bought it online, and it took ages to download with 4G.
I paid £15 last week. In my opinion, it's not even worth that.

Well, because it's true. The story of the game and the game itself were designed in this way. Capcom chose this direction at the pitching stage and even had sales expectations. No one rushed and barely cut anything.
People talk about the "director's cut" (What is it even supposed to mean?) and the "extended version", as if for the clock tower alone, developers do not need to reassemble the team with the director of motion capture to rewrite an important piece of the story and retell it.
This is basically not the finishing of some product. People are telling the developers to redo the game because they are not satisfied. And, well, this is an absolutely unrealistic requirement.
Sales of the remake exceeded expectations, and Tsuyoshi Kanda mentioned in an interview that they were satisfied with the reception.
I'm sure that Capcom's employees are not blind to criticism, so the experience with the remake may affect the new remake, but I don't feel that the demands and ultimatums of fans that have spread noticeably will really help. They only hurt themselves because they focus on a topic that brings them nothing but frustration and other negative emotions.

Ultimately, it’s just fans kicking and screaming at the end of the day, so we have to accept things for what they are. It’s sad to see fandoms lash out in such a way that only brings out bigotry and hate among each other. I realize it is a downward spiral with no end.
REmake 2 was not a faithful 1:1 remake either so it’s hypocritical to hate on REmake 3 when the other shares the same issues. Capcom can do whatever they want regardless of fan reception.

The community has definitely become part of the problem for the fans, ha-ha! And what's more, I myself partially share this responsibility, so I have no right to behave as if it does not concern me. 
I believe that people's frustrations are quite justified, to be honest. For example, in Russia there is one of the Russian community leaders, who was very much waiting for RE:3. This is a man who is much older than me, and he has a family, but he cried with happiness when he watched the announcement trailer. And the second time he cried a year after the release, when there was an emptiness in his soul. I felt very sorry for him at that moment, but I also know big fans of the original who enjoyed the remake. I enjoyed the remake myself, after all.
It seems that people who have personal experience with specific games form their own expectations about remakes. Moreover, each person even has their own empirical system of understanding what a remake should do and what it should not. Since we don't have a common "document" that could be compiled by some cultural institute, our online gaming society is just a mess, where people from different groups don't understand each other and argue about games, semantics, and so on.
Perhaps the attitude to the video game industry as a pure service sector is also an important factor. I don't stop seeing how fans are asking and even demanding to return Jill, to make a remake of this or that game, and so on. But there is a certain gap between developers and players, because for a developer, working on a game is also a creative process. They don't stop being authors, so they want to tell their stories and show their visions. And although they try to make compromises, they really never accept orders. For example, RE:2 was not put into production just because the fans asked for it, although many really believe in this version.
Therefore, there was a misunderstanding between the fans and the developers. They offered a product that did not meet the requirements of consumers. Can anyone be blamed for this situation? Well, I don't know. Shit just happens sometimes. It's really a very difficult and awkward situation, so even I haven't sorted out my feelings yet.

I've been saying that too about the RE2 remake, on heaps of forums. Half the time, I just got people acting like I was wrong for stating opinions, facts, or whatever. But they put the original RE2 on a pedestal. This is why they rate it higher by default.
But yeah. The amount of cut content in that game alone, was just as terrible, really. And the RE3 remake didn't even have Barry at the end. So they had no passion.

REmake 3 feels like one campaign from RE6, yet it’s $60. That’s one of the biggest criticisms since the game is simply not worth that much. The whole project was handled so poorly. Outsourcing the game to M2 and gutting it to the point where there is little semblance to the OG, it sucks but that’s what we need to expect from future remakes.
This is the real RE3 remake.
Sad, huh?
Sad, huh?
And that’s just another reimagining, Capcom doesn’t care about OG RE3 lol.This is the real RE3 remake.
Sad, huh?
I really agree with you! I didnt play RE3 Remake but its story is so edgy with butchered characters that it's unbelievable. It makes DmC look genious LOL.
That's not Jill Valentine in my eyes. That's Alice. She looks nothing like her nor acts or behaves like her. Her face looks terrible too. It's as bad as that blonde guy in RE7. What was Capcom thinking with this game? Why do people still defend this but attack RE6? Makes no sense.
Julia Voth is the real Jill, not this pretender.
If people criticised RE2 Remake more; this wouldnt have happened. Why is that game still getting a pass for its weird decisions?
RE6 is way better than these terrible games.
