After the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom has seemingly fast tracked a remake for Resident Evil 3. Does it hold up to 2? Here's my review of RESIDENT EVIL 3! #ResidentEvil3
Instead of modes like "Ghost Survivors" and "Resistance" Capcom should really put all their time and resources into extending the stories in these remakes. Throw far more surprises that weren't in the originals and stop CUTTING SHIT OUT from the originals!
I feel like if they included puzzles and one more section the game would've been perfect. I knew when REsistence was announced as a free add on that RE3 would be incredibly short.
One major disappointment was that the Clock Tower that was in the og RE3 was not playable in remake. The Clock Tower was an iconic location in RE3 with puzzles. To not have it is a letdown.
@@blackcobra1981 It is trash, I agree. But all the Fortnite players are saying how great it is and even trashing the Original 3 resident evils....fucking kids.
This game should've been delayed to add in more content. I don't mind waiting another year for a more fleshed out game. So sad. A good game nonetheless, but disappointing.
@Phry3 I have absolutely zero problems with the length. It's that the game is so incredibly linear and scripted. The puzzles are painfully simple, it feels so dumbed down. The areas are too small and the enemies are a bit too easy to deal with. Not nearly as interesting as the ones in RE2 in terms of gameplay. And Nemesis? He was great! ... in the demo. No, seriously. The demo is the part of the game where Nemesis is present the most, the way he should be anyway. He's bigger. He can sprint. He can catch and pull you with his tentacle. His punches follow up. He can stun you with a roar. His grab is an instant kill. In every way he's superior to Mr X, except two: All of his encounters are scripted, and they are *way* too short. When he got the rocket launcher I was so happy he was getting an upgrade, but then it ended. Just like that. He doesn't chase you after that. They could have easily made more sequences where he stalks you, but instead they animated a bunch of cutscenes. Isn't that _more_ expensive than letting the player take the wheel? Edit: Ok, I tried Hardcore again, and it does feel a little better. Nemesis especially feels like Hardcore is his "normal" difficulty. He uppercutted me through a door 😂 This way it makes a little more sense to not have him hunt you so much, as it would make it too difficult and annoying, but I still think they should have squeezed in one more chase sequence, preferably one with his rocket launcher.
@@urokhai1270 No, but I tried Hardcore and it didn't enhance the experience very much. Just made it annoying how scarce ammo is. Maybe I need to give it another chance.
I completed the game in a day and a half. It's hell of a short. There's even an achievement for completing the game in under two hours. Good while it lasts though
@@franklinofgreyskull738 RE2 also has a achievement for finishing in under 2 hours. It's one of the requirements for unlocking the rocket launcher. So campaign wise they are the same length.
@@franklinofgreyskull738 Every single RE has you beat it under 2 hours for the infinite rocket launcher (tho it's not exactly the time, but the rank you get for your playthrough)
I thought titanfall 2 was worth 60 for it's campaign alone, honestly not all games have to be super long. Saying 5 hours of exhilaration isn't worth $60 is like saying you should never go to Universal or Disney which is like $100 for 8 hours (that you can't replay.)
Resident Evil 3 Remake had so much potential with Nemesis. I thought it was gonna be similar to Mr X except him with speed mode and higher tension. Disappointed but still satisfied with the game at the very least.
Edit: it actually blows my mind how they removed nemesis completely from the police station. It was a very stupid decision to put carlos there instead of jill.
People were complaining how after the initial encounters with mr x became annoying rather scary cause he was easy to run away from but would just get in the way while you had to do a puzzle.. so I think they cut nemesis’s hunting sections for that reason and made it super intense for a shorter time.
@@tonito_el_tigre but in reality this game was butchered from it's original core. So you get these results, yata yata yata they added content crap but this and that was okay. Good graphics lmfao like this game is supposed to be legendary don't you get it. Like this is trash to it's very standards. This could have been a masterpiece of its kind.
Gage Kleinknight facts. It wasn’t people’s favorite game of all time for no reason.. it holds up today so definitely could of been the new resident evil 4.. I still really enjoyed it and still have a lot of play time to squeeze out of it.
@David Hinkle but nemesis is Mr.X tyrant with parasites they're supposed to be the same but with parasites they gain some intelligent and ability to use weapons and ofcourse tentacles.
[Spoilers] I didn't like how nemesis was holding back after the first encounter as soon as he stopped being bipedal and smaller he just felt like a oversized licker
@@AllThings_Gaming-c1m yeah like he would hold her head in his hand dead to right like how he would give the zombies parasites but uh...he would throw her just outta range of his 1 handed flamethrower...
Nemesis transformation was incredibly disappointing, to be honest. I mean, INCREDIBLY. We didn't see him enough in "normal" mode, where he was gazillion times more badass than he was in that licker like creature form. In that form, he kinda lost his character. I wouldn't mind a bit if Nemesis retained his normal form throughout the entire game.
I didn’t like how story wise nemesis had every opportunity to kill jill but......... doesn’t. He freezes up or throws her away like trash instead of idk crushing her head?
The most stupid part is ***SPOILERS*** when he infects her. So basically all he had to do since the beginning was infect her and she would've been done. Lol the game looks beautiful but is very poorly scripted.
Yeah, it sorta took me out of the game when he clearly had the upper-hand in multiple cut scenes to kill the protagonist - like full on fingers gripped around Jill's face contact - and then they have him stall. It makes you second guess if hes really competent or all that effective of a killing machine. But mostly its just cheap attempts to heighten the anxiety of the moment. There were probably better ways of depicting a struggle between him and Jill during the cinematics.
love both RE2 and RE3. I would describe RE2 like The last of us: slower paced with more survival horror and exploration while RE3 is more like uncharted: fast paced thrill ride. I admit it is short and there is cut content but it is a hell of a lot of fun.
Love how you get to see what happened to Marvin and the 2 officers that you find dead in re2, graphics are beautiful and really enjoyed the first section where you have to escape town. Length of it made me sad because it ended so quickly If nemesis was a constant threat and didn’t just force you to progress it’d be so so much harder. He can run, jump miles, hurt you even when down, and infect zombies. It’s be so stressful Should’ve just increased the length and I would’ve liked it so much more
@Mando it's not a bad game because it's short, but it is massively disappointing for a multitude of reasons, the length is just one of the main things. While all resi games are short, the problem with re3r in terms of its length isn't that it's short, it feels short. You usually dont notice the length like here.
@Mando and we're talking about a $60 game, but the problem here is that with the other problems on top of the length issues, it legit doesn't feel like it's worth $60. It feels like it should've been a $30-$35 expansion for re2r
Remember what they said Nemesis was gonna feel like? It practically sounded like Mister X on steroids but it feels like he was more of a scripted character here
Seeing that review then yeah it seems mr x was better as a scary figure. I mean after you learn some tricks on how to avoid him from personal experience and from the internet he is manageable but he still remains an annoying thorn that can spawn at many unfortunate moments to slow you down or even get you into deep trouble if he isn't alone. Nemesis doesn't seem as such a problem as mr x was.
@@jaketheberge1970 The Clocktower and the park sections as well as live selections (situations where your forced to make a choice think along the lines of Until Dawn but in a RE game basically)...
@Jake Theberge *These are some of the most prominent examples of cuts I can think of at the moment, from the reviews and gameplay footage I have seen, if you want:* 1.) The entire segment where you explored the interior of the clocktower, which many players thought offered a nice change of pace after the Raccoon City streets and could have looked neat in the new RE engine. 2.) There is no singleplayer bonus minigame akin to Mercenaries: Operation Mad Jackal, unless Capcom plans to release free DLC like Ghost Survivors in RE2 Remake. 3.) There is a reduced variety of boss creatures, even if the overall quantity of mandatory boss encounters are the same (since the Gravediggers and Nemesis actively chasing you in second half are both cut, seemingly in favor of Nemesis transforming earlier and fighting you more in those non-human forms). 4.) Exploration in general seems dumbed down, with far fewer puzzles, inability to backtrack to early city areas like Dario’s safe house, and a lack of live-selections allowing you to approach certain areas in branching paths (to be fair, though, at least the randomization mechanics in original are sort of replaced by new difficulty modes that rearrange items/enemies, plus there are new interactive cutscenes to serve some of the other purposes that the live-selection had in original, like making Jill use a vehicle to attack Nemesis). 5.) You no longer get to have two separate endings, and Capcom arguably went with the weaker of the two endings. *As far as changes go, where it depends more on personal preference, here are some examples:* 1.) In terms of basic enemies, the Drain Deimos, Sliding Worms, Infected Crows, and Giant Spiders are replaced with Lickers, Pale Heads, Parasite Zombies, and more unique Hunter Gammas. Plus, the Drain Deimos are radically redesigned. 2.) Carlos explores the RPD instead of Jill. 3.) The gun powder system for crafting handgun, shotgun, magnum, and three of the grenade rounds are now very different. Plus, the freeze rounds and enhanced handgun/shotgun ammo are cut, possibly in favor of more basic weapon upgrades. The mines are now an alternate grenade launcher ammo type, rather than ammo for a separate mine thrower gun. I think the reloading tool is now an optional bonus item you can put in your inventory to increase the amount of bullets you can craft from gunpowder, rather than a mandatory component of crafting. 4.) You enter the Umbrella facility through an underground passage in Hospital, rather than through the Raccoon Park. So the Hospital is larger while the Raccoon Park is smaller and now an optional side area.
? Identical? The original was amazing. This one not so much. The original had a more open world explore feel to it. This was one like a line hallway with a few doors
@@thegreatgeekdetective6925 You ought to go back and play the original if you think it felt like an open world. As for my use of the word "identical", I said that in regards to the game's reception. Reviews and general attitude towards both games have been very similar.
TheGreatGeekDetective He’s right. This game is being received almost exactly like the original RE3. In no way did people feel like RE3 was amazing. They only felt that way in retrospect. In reality the game was viewed as a disappointment and too similar to RE2.
@@medjrikais2419 $60 for FF7Remake and it isn't even the full game apparently, so I don't see how that's any better. Not defending RE3R, and I also bought RE2R at a heavy discount, but FF7 is gonna be a wait-to-buy for sure.
Took me just around 4 hours, first blind play through. I preordered it in December, just because how excellent re2 remake was. It’s a good game, but not worth 60. Maybe 30-40. Especially since there is no mercenaries mode.
RE 8 is coming out next year so they had to make a choice: Cut 2 hours of gameplay and release it now, or give us the whole thing in 2022. I wish they had chosen the latter, but you know how shareholders are. I reckon the devs are just as unhappy.
Actually no, from what i heard they did not cut anything from the game, this was the intended product, ie they did not rush it. Then again this is not a campcom game is an M-two game, and it shows.
I saw a comment on another video saying they even managed to remake the bad reviews from the 1999 game; people saying it's too short and just feels like an add-on to RE2.
I just found it hilarious that Remake MrX Plays like the original RE3 Nemesis, where he follows you between rooms and relentless chases. While Remake Nemesis plays like original Mr X, only showing up in instanced scenarios where he disappears when the area is left. LMAO just hilarious to me is all.
I platinumed it earlier today and I have to say that this is a pretty damn good game. And I personally believe that playing it to get all of the trophies is the best way to play it.
MagicJaycee I actually played RE2 for the first time just after commenting this, and platinumed it also just yesterday. And I have to say that I do understand the disappointment surrounding RE3. It’s lacking most of the story and the game doesn’t even have extra content, costumes, etc. You play it and that’s it. But with RE2 you can go back and play different scenarios, unlock costumes, and even unlock hidden survivor modes. Almost in every way, RE2 is better.
@@crimsonsky3440 Exactly! RE2 is a more horror game than RE3. What I like about RE2 the gore is very realistic and the zombies react to the environment when you put them down and MR. X is still more scarier than Nemesis. I always think of Nemesis as a Xenomorph alien in disguise nothing more. I got the Platinum in March 2019 and its way harder. Re3 I platinum it like 3 days after it got released. RE2 took me a month to platinum I'm not kidding, mind you. They also said that the team who made RE2 is different to the ones who made RE3. So I guess thats why. Let this be a lesson learned so that it will not happen again in future remakes.
MagicJaycee You couldn’t be more on point honestly. I like Nemesis but when compared to MR. X he just falls flat. His design, and clothing and even his walk is intimidating. And I love that they didn’t give him any new abilities, his attacks are still the same and I love that, but he definitely is a lot faster depending on the difficulty.
Besides the Short Deadline, I've seen and read some complaints from other gamers saying that they were too afraid and annoyed of Mr.X. So just a guess, but they probably thought that Nemi may end up being too much for us thus the tone down of Badass Nemi.
Hamza Orakzai yes i agree nemesis was not scary at all. I just found him really badass. Every time he showed up I was oh shit it’s mr. savage. I started laughing when he pulled out the rocket launcher
Man sooooo many people were overhyping Nemesis after Re2Remake "You think Mr.X is scary? Wait till you see Nemesis" "Imagine Mr.X using weapons and he's running at you" As impressive as Nemesis is, I do agree with what Jeremy said here. The mostly unscripted encounters with Mr X is far more exciting than what we got with Nemesis in this game. This is from a guy who wasnt a big fan of the original 3. After last year's remake, I knew I'd prefer a Code Veronica remake instead. And now, I still do. I'm hoping Capcom is turning that into their next game, or at least a dlc... But based on recent news, I know it's not gonna happen
Nemesis is a fookin BRUTE in this game and I think the reason why he only appears at specific times is because they wanted to make him viciously aggressive. Mr. X was slow and that’s how they could make him chase you the whole game. Nemesis WILL kill you fast and so they couldn’t have him chase you the whole game. IMO
Yeah agreed. If he was around the whole time it would become frustrating as fuck since he's so powerful. If they wanted Nemesis to be around the whole game they would have had to nerf him to Mr X levels, at which point you're just doing Mr X again so why bother.
I hate mister X. I like to explore and open all the door, he was annoying. I run out of ammo constantly, nemesis worked like mister x and nemesis from the original games, were they got activated after you pick certain items. Definitely the game was too short.
I think that they made nemesis a good Villian for specifically this game and how short it was, you didn’t spend too much time walking around outside and because it’s so short there isn’t rlly a chance for him to be a constant threat. So for him to be so overpowered during the moments where his is chasing you I think was a way to make up for not making like Mr X and having the game rlly short
Give us the director's cut of RESIDENT EVIL 3 including all the cut contents. I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit of disappointing that we couldn't be able to explore into Clock Tower like an original RE3 did. Oh well.
Exactly what I am saying they should remake this game again and completely bring everything back from the original into the remake and they better do it or capcom is going to get alot of endless hate.
Everything Jeremy said is legit everything I thought. Great game but it's so short, there's even an achievement to beat it in 2 hrs. But I had loads of fun with it, just wish it was longer and yes Mr. X felt more threatening then Nemesis. RE2 gave me serious Alien Isolation vibes.
@@DarkAttackYT Oh I agree with you totally on the Nemesis part and on Alien Isolation, that game scared the hell outta me before the Alien even appeared. What I was getting at is after a while Nemesis just felt more like a nuisance. Where as in RE2 I feel Mr. X had a much more threatening presence, that's why I compared him to the Xeno. He's constantly roaming, you can hear him and not see him which in horror I think is very effective, and he doesn't die until a cutscene in the game. I felt that with Mr. X there was a constant feeling of fear and dread, whereas with Nemesis it's like "bro get a life"😂😂
@@Hectorlo Probably yeah but I think that says something about the overall length of the campaign as well. But personally I'm always looking for extra shit in games so it always takes me for-fucking-ever to beat a campaign. I'm that person that's almost always backtracking if I saw something or think there might be something somewhere.
I really loved the game. Only down side is...i wanted more. Too short. Nightmare mode switches things up. This i really liked. Including all unlocktables. Great to play as Jill again 2.
Exactly! The hate the game is getting is beyond ridiculous. Game is as short as RE2 imo. A and B scenarios in RE2 were basically the same with different doors already opened and items located in different places. Shit RE3 has even more unlockables than RE2 and you're not forced to play on hardcore mode to unlock a good infinite weapon!
Its a dead by daylight type multiplayer game where 4 players have to escape a zone and 1 is a mastermind who watches them through cameras and spawns traps and enemies and can directly control them too. It comes as a separate game along with the RE3. I didnt like it because of dodgy frame rates and very sloppy texture clipping. It all lacks the polish RE2 and 3 have. And theres RPG elements such as damage indicators.
It wishes it was dead by daylight. You can just drop random monsters straight on top of players, but most of the time they destroy any and all enemies you put against them. Even Mr X can get bullied by players, since they can stagger him easily, and they calculate damage and health more like an RPG, than a resident evil game. Where you hit them, and floating numbers show how much damage you did, but 2 Mr X punches aren't even enough to put someone in yellow. Honestly it's really bad. Would of been great if it was a free to play game, but with how RE3 feels short, and unfinished, it feels more like including it with RE3 only made re3's development suffer heavily. Also, you can pay real money for xp boosters.
Trojianmaru What? You can bully a bad Mr. X / Mastermind. It’s surprisingly balanced, or it seems right now. Mr. X can win the game if you’re good at it.
It would have been great if you were able to play it for yourself in the beta, as shitty of a beta it was. I really like it personally. And since I played it quite a bit so far, I can say that if one side doesn't know the game well they will be stomped on easily. But a good Mastermind vs good survivors is a tough match. I also finished RE3 Remake, so the whole package is very worth it to me.
they could’ve done more with this game. i felt like the game was a slight downgrade from the re2 remake. i wish i would’ve waited to buy the game at a lower price. fun game but not worth the $60 ish dollars.
Good concise detailed review jeremy. Can't wait for the Ff7 remake review. Also, you should absolutely do more game reviews even after covid fucks off.
Would have been interesting if they started the game earlier and had us watch the slow fall of Racoon City instead of "Jill wakes up and zombies are everywhere, somehow".
Welp, the original re3 game was quick too.. lol XD Tbh, it was always shorter compared to re2 in the original ps1. Also that we played as Jill more and only played Carlos a bit. Ya they removed the clock tower(ugh spiders......), Would of been nice to see if Nemesis could climb that ladder all the way up without breaking. I hated the last part of the original because of the water specimen puzzle of Hell... Seriously, who wants that in the remake? 😒 But ya, I did feel the quick cash on after re2 remake. I'm still waiting for them to remake Code Veronica and Outbreak Files. I've heard they're planning on remaking re4... But why?!!!! :O
I wish if they do another remake it needs to be code Veronica. So many fans seem to overlook code Veronica, but it’s actually a great game in the series and I’d love to see it remade at some point. Now re4 on the other hand does not need to be remade and it’s a gem the way it is
And the chimeras Re2 had alot of shit cut as well nothing as iconic as the missing parts of 3 though. I think Re2 is better all together but Re3 feels and looks better to play. Not to mention 3 has the best boss fights since Re7 I didn't care much for the Birkin fights except stage 3 G.
@@TheNightWolf-WildCraft Outside Joe DLC the only boss I liked in 7 was Marguerite. Resi7 overall was more on-rails than these other games and lack of enemy variety hurt its replayability. Also another cut monster in 2 was the giant moth.
Forgot about the moth, and the 2 fights with Jack in the garage are awesome and can play out so many ways I really like that, and Marguriette was nightmare fuel bending in half backwards whle standing._.._ Yikessss
I think that one of the reasons this game feels so much shorter than RE 2 is that in this one you spent so much less time exploring/puzzle solving. In the last game, the RPD station was essentially one giant puzzle, wherein you had to solve several smaller puzzles to advance to the next one. And it kinda had a Dark Souls, labyrinthine vib to it. You got to know the station so well, and knew which routes where quicker and which were dangerous (I still have nightmares about the west corridor). And while I would say that this could count as padding, it is enjoyable padding. Slowly discovering and maping out the station was a slow burn joy. RE 3 by contrast does not have as much map-puzzles. It is much more direct: Go here, and go here. So I really liked this game, but I do wish they had of applied the whole RPD station scheme to the whole city. But I think that if you were to run through RE 2 already knowing where to go and exactly what to do you could probably get through it pretty quickly. Probably well within 7 hours actually. So I think RE 3 while shorter, it is more streamlined. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is up to you however.
I chose to watch Jeremy's review instead of going to IGN or any other channel, that has been bought and paid for and I believe that says something; as to how good his reviews really are. also I feel like this current console generation, PS4 has literally just become my resident Evil machine and I loved every minute of it.
I like that he actually knows what he is talking about and not just repeating shit other people have been saying all over the Internet. That makes him trustworthy and that's a beautiful character trait. :)
Rookie Travel Diaries Ironic because he’s doing just that, repeating what everybody else is saying despite it being untrue or misinterpreted. Everyone says the game is short...but if you actually checked the length of the RE3 Remake and compared it to the ACTUAL length of the RE2 Remake OR the original RE3, they’re VERY SIMILAR IN LENGTH! The RE2 Remake can be completed in under 1 hour without cheating! This video is on UA-cam and has the Capcom devs reacting to it. Even the original RE3 is short as hell but no ones bitching because it has many different “areas”. Well then THAT should be the complaint then, not length! And then there’s people who say that the RE2 Remake has multiple characters so it has more replay value. BS! Leon and Claire’s campaign are VERY similar minus the Sherry and Ada section not to mention there’s only 3 difficulty settings... in RE3 Remake at least there’s 5 difficulty settings and the later 2 difficulties actually increase the challenge immensely unlike the RE2 Remake while adding extra enemies and moving items around. Sure the RE2 Remake does this as well on the second run but it limits the gameplay with the lack of difficulty settings! All in all, I think it’s very similar in length and people just don’t notice! The RE2 Remake really only has 3 main areas to explore... the RPD, the sewers, and the lab. While the RE3 Remake has the city streets, the RPD, the sewers, the hospital and the lab too! That’s 2 extra areas and people complain about the RE3 Remake when the RE2 Remake has less overall areas to explore! Absolute nonsense.
@@Mr.Honest247 I don't know about how bullshit all these reviews are. Reviews are subjective by nature anyway. But the hour-long run that you mentioned, are you sure it's not a speed run you are referring to because those things are supposed to be short... that's why they are called speed runs. Devs reacting to it sorta makes it even more obvious that it's impressive and not easily achievable. In terms of gameplay, adding difficult levels doesn't add on to the overall length of the game. It's extends your experience, sure. But length, I am not so sure about that. I don't think anyone's complaining about the areas to explore in RE3. Again, it's just the matter of how long you stay into the story and most of them felt it wasn't worth releasing it as a standalone game. They either released it too soon or removed some parts in order to release them later as DLCs. I don't know, man. I am not here to defend the game. I was just impressed by the genuinity of the way he delivers his reviews... not just this one, mind you. Rather most of his reviews sounds honest and based on first-hand experience. Gotta give credit where it's due 🙂
The original RE3 was my favorite of the RE series, and I've really been enjoying this one as well. It's definitely short, but I'm also really having fun. I have to agree that if you aren't a huge RE3 fan, you should probably wait for a sale. I don't miss the clock tower map, however, as I have pretty severe arachnophobia, so taking out a level filled with giant realistic spiders is something I'm not going to lose any sleep over. I think if they had Mercenaries Mode from the original or Ghost Survivors from RE2: Remake, the criticism would be a lot less.
@@MaxPaynefan1 Fair enough. I don't know why exactly, but I always take a long ass time to finish RE games compared to most other people. :p I think my first playthrough of RE 2 took me some 11 hours in Hardcore, while most people seemed to be done with it in 7-8 hours, or even less.
Hey Jeremy you haven't reviewed the last 2 seasons of Star Wars Rebels :) Wondering what's your opinion on it... As a fan of the lore I love it more than the sequels tbh ^^
SPOILERS I thought everything about this game was incredible from a presentation standpoint. The graphics are GORGEOUS, Jill and Carlos look amazing, the voice acting is great (I specifically love the cut scene where Nicholai shoots that man in the garage, Jill’s reaction is awesome). But I don’t like how Nemesis doesn’t feel like a constant force to be reckoned with. At one point I straight up forgot he was in the game, which doesn’t do him or the concept of the game justice. Another thing that bothered me is that he doesn’t even get to kill Brad, or anyone other than Tyrell for that matter. He’s the STARS killer, and he only kills one guy, that works for Umbrella. He just didn’t feel like much of a threat, especially when he just turned into a Bloodborne boss wannabe for the second half of the game. It’s just so glaringly obvious they rushed this game to meet a deadline, and included Resistance to try to make up for a short ass campaign. But Resistance is very mediocre. I miss Mercenaries mode. There is so much in this game I love, but if they added 2 more zones, and maybe one more section where you play as Carlos, it would be much much better. I give it a 6/10. I was on the hype train for this game from the moment they announced the 2 remake, so I’m really bummed how this one turned out.
the game is paced kinda weirdly, too, feels like some sections have been cut and the rest of the game was awkwardly stitched together to cover it up. There's at least 2 moments in the game where you go directly for the boss with no gameplay levels in between. [spoliers] you take control of Jill after Carlos's RPD level, and it's straight to a Nemesis boss fight - they could've had a short section of gameplay on the waterway/park leading up to it. Same goes for the end of the game - you beat Nemesis stage 2, you go to a safe room, and you immediately fight the final boss - Nemesis stage 3. They could've had a section of corridors and zombies there as well (maybe the clock tower somehow?), it feels awkward jumping from one boss encounter to the other with nothing in between, especially when the game is this low on content. I feel like putting mercenaries in probably wouldn't be that much work, either - use maps from resistance, spawn some zombies randomly, get some basic rules of the encounters, and you're good. You wouldn't even need 10 playable characters at launch, get Jill, Carlos, Leon, Ada, and Clarie since they already got all the combat animations (just add the dash to RE2 characters), and maybe put some more characters and maps as DLC later on.
Killing Brad was such a big introduction for the monster awwww damn. I think I'm gonna nostalgia play the original RE3 and wait til this one is cracked. Sue me.
@@Narezaath Had to for the achievement unlock... XD But let's be real.. We all wanted the RE movies to be as amazingly done as the remake, without a Mary Sue being the main and all the original video game chars being killed off. Like cmon.. they were makin Alice be as kick ass as Jill in the games.. 😒
@@crispykid09 I know it is, and that's a shame because I did like what was there, I enjoyed my time. I think they wanted people to spend the same number of hours in Resistance, but who can tell at this point.
Straight up love this game. I can see where Jeremy's coming from, but it works. It's a combination of the original 3 and the re2 remake. The original 3 was shorter. The only thing I do complain about a bit is I wanted more of first stage NEMESIS just chasing you.
Dude the original was longer than 4 hours the campaign was minimum 6 hours + Mercenaries + replay-ability + cut content I was getting the impression that cause it was a remake it would have a bigger campaign mode and have you play as both Jill and Carlos in different Scenarios as it would be different to see Carlos working with umbrellas
It's good if you only play it once. But if you play it again... the facade starts to crack and you realize how much of an on rails theme park this remake is.
@@avengeddecay2360 the game definitely should have been longer I wanted it to last forever, it should have kept mercenaries and choices to change the story around and a few other things... but you are REEEEAAACCCHING saying that the old campaign was 6 hours minimum lmao smh people have beat that shit in under an hour and thats with door opening loading screens, the length of the two really isn't all that different.
BigBoss if your speed running it then yes if you are a scavenger and want to pick up every item in the game most say it’s 6 hours it took me 8 hours cause nemesis was more dedicated to chase the player
@@avengeddecay2360 look I'm not hatin man but scavenging and picking up every item and "minimum" are counter-intuitive. I'm just saying the length of a playthrough isnt really that much of a stretch between the two.
I'm not a professional reviewer so please, don't think you're not entitled to liking this game. This is all based on personal preferences. Graphics-wise, this game looks beautiful. Resident Evil 2 already did, and it seems like they somehow managed to polish their engine a lot more. The lighting is superb and the shadows are legit shadows instead of negative colors. The character design is outstanding and the details are well, very-detailed. Now, it's 2020, having good-graphics is the standard nowadays, so while yes, the game looked beautiful, there are other games with the same quality of graphics. Hopefully that makes sense. I still think however, that Nemesis was scarier while he was wearing all those trash bags that covered his face. Once his face was revealed, the fear and intrigue was lost. He felt like a cheap gimmick that CAPCOM used as clickbait to sell the game. He was severely underused and was just another enemy. I personally liked Carlos more than Jill. I can definitely see him as a protagonist in a future game or CGI movie. I enjoyed his sections a lot more than Jill's go-here, escape-from-Nemesis, go-here and escape-from-Nemesis again. Like you said, the game was incredibly linear. The magic of Resident Evil 2 Remake was that since Mr. X was following you around, and there were lickers in some hallways, you needed to strategize what route to take, and prioritize a task instead of running around guns-blazing. The map was big, it was open and there were multiple places to revisit or use as shortcut to get someplace else; this doesn't exist in RE3 other than the small main-area near the train-station. If I had to give a score to this game, it'll be an underwhelming 7 out of 10. For the sake of not boring you to death, I'll stop the review here. The game had amazing potential, but nothing was done with it.
I here people saying all the time it's not worth $60. So my question is, what justifies a game to be $60? My question is, did you have fun? That's all that matters. To me if you were entertained and it was fun to play it, then it's worth $60. I've played some broken games that cost $60 . Re 3 isnt one of them. That's all I'm saying. What are the standards that makes a game $60?
I'm 5 and a half hrs in and just got to the part where Carlos has to hold off the zombies in the hospital lobby while waiting for the shutters to close on the windows. Not sure how much is left after but Ive been taking my time so idk. It's shorter for sure but it's not a huge negative for me.
The re2 remake was the only resident evil game I played and I liked it so much I got all the trophies. But smt about the re3 remake seems less than the previous one in quite a few areas.
The Witcher 3 is amazing, but that’s a one-hundred hour monster of a game. I guess he has the time with the quarantine, but that’s still a big undertaking.
I agree with everything you said 100% I beat the game yesturday in 6 hours as well and I thought it felt too short and I didn't like that they charged 60 dollars for a game that felt like it was only worth 20.
I enjoyed it. Yeah, the shortness is a bit of a bummer, but there were hardly any dull moments. You were always in action or about to be in action, especially in the hospital when they bring in our favorite green agile af friends. I enjoyed how they improved upon some monsters and updated their looks to make them more frightening/menacing. I’m okay with dropping the money due to being in quarantine and being bored out of my mind.
I personally loved the game! I really enjoyed the story it was a new perspective on a 20 year old game and it felt fresh..love jill, carlos, and nemesis design i thought they looked great. Loved the different nemesis forms My biggest complaint with this game is that yes its short my first play through was about 4 and a half hours and also icdid not agree with them cutting areas like the clock tower or the grave digger fight but appriciated the power station expansion as well as the hospital and lab expansion. I like how they encouraged replayability by offering the unlockable difficulty modes which were challenging but felt that they were lacking on costumes and new game plus items. Overall i really enjoyed playing it and icwould give this game an 8.5/10
They missed a trick by leaving out certain central areas from the original. It is a great game though, but like the PS version, it is not a patch on RE2. I hope they redo Code Veronica next, and leave RE4 alone !!
I loved this game. I was okay with nemesis not stalking like Mr X because I figure they didn’t want to just repeat what they already did with Mr. X in the RE2 remake. I agree it should have been $40.00 though.
Thanks man your reviews are awesome, the original is one of my favorite games of all time, so i've been watching plenty of reviews, and still i had to see yours, you always get to the point, give objective arguments and are pretty direct. That's grat!
The game is good, but I have a few complaints: -It's kind of easy. They are extremely generous on health and ammo compared to RE2 -Not much puzzle solving -Lack of replayability/alternate routes or paths you can take -The transitions between Jill and Carlos really effected the pacing. They should have just had their own separate campaigns -Not enough Nemesis. He only shows up in scripted fights -Nemesis has MULTIPLE opportunities to kill Jill, but for whatever reason never does -The game is definitely short -Lack of skins. Where are the skins from the original RE3? Why not give us RE5 Jill which was highly requested? -No Mercenaries mode, or a special similar mode to keep your attention after beating the campaign
I enjoyed the game, but I def think $35-40 would have been a better price. The game ran smoothy for me & I did not experience any technical issues. I really liked the expanded Carlos content, but disliked how Clocktower & the Park was removed. Boss fights were epic & Jill apparently has bodybuilder strength. I'm a hardcore zombie fan, though, so I will be replaying this. I beat Resident Evil 1 remake like 12 times and RE2 like 8-10 times lol.
I enjoyed the game a lot, but it's definitely overpriced considering how quickly it can be beaten. Took me 10 hours for 2 playthroughs. I would have rather that they fleshed out the campaign a little more instead of adding the multiplayer mode.
The thing I Loved the most about RE3 was the choice routes either do A. or B. or nothing and get 3 different outcomes that might have different effects, like opening a new path or meeting a new creature that you see only once etc... If this element isn't here, then they have truly messed it up for me.
YES! Finally JJ reviewed RE3! No wonder they got an add on RE Resistance, tbh they should have just added or called it Outbreak Online would have been a good selling point. I can agree get this on a sale, I can breeze through the game and avoid Nemesis, the only cheap BOW's here are the hunters with their one hit throat slit. Sadly as well Nem's is only in scripted areas after you leave that certain area he's gone like the ones with the Gamma hunters would have been great if he was there hunting you then suddenly pops up outta nowhere for the burning building boss fight.
i think my first playthrough of RE2 was like 8 hours. I spent a lot of time just looking around. 100 times later I do all of them in about an hour and 15 minutes so RE# didn't feel so short to me. I hope they do a ghost survivor equivalent.
I was watching my friend play it on live stream and when he got to the lab, I said "do you know when it's over" and I don't know if he saw the comment, but I definitely felt like it was being wrapped up. I spoke to him on Discord last night and he told me it took him like 7 or 8 hours to complete the game and then he did another shot at it to see how long he could play it in one sitting and he ended up finishing it in 3 hours or so. He paid $90AUD, that's insane. RE3 looks nice and shiny, but I would not pay full retail price for it. Especially when money is very tight right now.
I do feel it's worth $60. But that's me, someone who will play it multiple times and go for 100%, and then must likely speedrun it. Also the Multiplayer mode is so damn fun.
Most successful RE games are Action and "dudebro", Re6 problems is not that, it's just a lower quality game, it has nothing to do with action or ...(more like mechanics,Design,levels)
@@hoomanrasouli1851 Facts man you expect it to have action in it considering your dealing with folks who work in special tactics, outside of his charisma and dialogue Wesker's such a great villain because he's the ultimate badass in cqc.
It feels so weird that they just cut out the so many of the sets/places from original game. I know that it's a remake and everything...but Jill didn't meet up with the Umbrella operatives until a good chunk into the story, not when it first starts. Plus I personally prefer Brad's original death, since not only did that serve as the introduction for Nemesis, but his death was way more gruesome as well. And the Infamous line of "You want S.T.A.R.S? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S!" Doesn't have nearly the same impact or context that it did in the original.
What you mean good and intense? Ok I like the starring Leon and ada wong movie but the sequel with chris was awful. Rebecca in wedding dress was quite eye candy though
Ok Jeremy, so we saw your review for Re2 remake and now this. Do you ever think we'll ever see an RE1 remake review? More classic game reviews would be cool.
Correction: Mr. X's appearances are actually also scripted like Nemesis. The difference is you can hear Mr. X a mile away, he's slow, and has no way seeing you thru walls. This tricks you into thinking he was always been there trying to look for you. Nemesis on the other hand knows exactly your position as soon as he appears with or without walls, he can leap and dash to cut your route, and can stealth hunt you until he's in your face. Im not saying one is better than the other but Mr. X's capabilities that translated to gameplay worked better for suspense and tricking you he's a random encounter. Nemesis's system forces you to face him asap and decide whether to fight or run(action-focused).
King Cobra Mr X is actually always roaming around. Someone hacked the game and put the camera on mr x when you’re not looking at him and he’s constantly surveying. When you get the lever for the bookcase he does teleport over to meet you in that green clover door room
Not actually true. Mr. X has a few scripted sequences where he spawns outside a room with a key item, but all other times throughout REmake 2 he is consistently roaming around the RPD and following your footsteps, gunshots, and confrontations with other enemies. Nemesis is a straight downgrade from Mr. X, and they were even claiming that they made him more advanced after using Mr. X as a prototype, which is clearly bullshit. Nemesis is nothing but scripted linear sequences and boss fights in this remake, when in the original the city streets were much larger and more open and you had the choice to go to 3-4 major areas in different orders, and his encounters were even different depending on which path you took first.
SkellionPowalskiz to be clear thats kinda what i meant. His(Mr. X) spawn time is scripted but he feels not because of his mechanics and implementation. Its like 1 is scripted to spawn in the area but the other(Nemesis) is scripted to spawn in your face. Lol
I just bought this game. After listening to reviews here and there back when it launched I decided to wait for it to go on sale. Got it for $20 and I’m having a blast with it.
I'm not entirely sure why every standardized review of this game seems to be parroting each other. Personally I loved the RE2 remake but my complaint was that it was too long. I don't have 20+ hours to contribute to a HORROR game. RE3 took me just under 8 hours (about 3 days) to complete. Which feels perfect for a suspense driven horror game. I think the biggest reason why RE3 is shorter than RE2 is because it has less puzzles which actually helps maintain the pacing better. It's also lacking the gimmick of replaying the entire game but from another characters perspective-which nearly doubled the playtime. To me, RE3 is more replayable and the graphics-especially character faces and animation are even more impressive than RE2. There are complaints that Nemesis doesn't behave the same way Mr. X did in RE2. GOOD! Why would you want something already done, to be done again?? Nemesis feels like a different antagonist and especially in later levels, proves to be much more horror-inducing than Mr. X was in later levels. I just don't know what people want anymore. Show them a unicorn that craps glitter and they'll find something to complain about. Seriously.
Wallet: $$$ Me: Wow, the atmosphere, environment and the gameplay are good. Also Me: (After 5 hours) Credit rolls Also Also Me: (diwqjidoqwidnqwindoizxoczomw)
Walter White they are great! If you have a PS4 you should get Persona 5 Royal,it just released,it's an updated version of Persona 5,Trust me,you Will Love it,im addicted to this game,I literally can't stop playing
Walter White It has A LOT of added content,like 30 hours of gameplay,a new "Palace"(which is what the dungeons in the game are called, won't spoil it for you) new characters,new personas,new activities to do around Tokyo,30 new songs,revamped combat system,revamped graphics... it's literally a better version of the base game
@@cipur11 no. You unlock nightmare mode after you beat hardcore mode, and inferno mode after you beat nightmare mode. Aka, hard mode, harder mode, hardest mode. There's no stuff like survivors mode, and the only NG+ you really get, is points earned from achievements, that you can spend on buying Jill's RE1 outfit, unlimited Ammo handgun (that can't use the upgrades you get for the starter pistol), unlimited Ammo assault rifle (again, no upgrades), an unlimited Ammo bazooka, a weird gun that acts like an unlimited Ammo magnum, but only does damage if you hit a weak point, and has a 5 second charge after every shot, a fire knife, and Jill's original pistol, the samurai edge (again, no upgrades). You can also get 2 coins that increase hp regen, 2 coins that increase defense, 2 coins that increase damage, a book that increases the window to make perfect dodges, 4 extra inventory slots from the start (not allowed on Assisted) and the lockpick and bolt cutters from the start. Honestly, none of it is worth it. I always had shed loads of Ammo for all my guns, so infinite Ammo wasn't that useful, and unlike in Re2, where you could blow limbs off, and they kept coming, the zombies in RE3 die really easy. I've permanently killed them while aiming only at a limb. And to get everything in the store, you need to complete every trophy in the game. That means an S ranking in the hardest difficulty, playing an entire playthrough without ever opening the item box (so no unlimited Ammo weapons, no assault, defense, or regen coins, no perfect dodge book, and discarding items when you run out of space), playing an entire playthrough without healing more than once, etc etc etc. So by the time you get everything, you don't feel like playing the game anymore.
I bought this game at full price and although I enjoyed every single moment, Jeremy is right... It's really a very short game, almost feels rush at some points, even when the Nemesis boss fights were intense, I didn't feel the same pressure or anxiety that Resident Evil 2 gave me... Oh well, I guess I'll play the game again for the trophies that I miss and maybe I'll check out Doom Eternal
Not even the original re3 was longer than OG re2. Funny thing the original re3 was like DLC side story to re2, which capcom then decided to call it re3 nemesis and also sold it full price. Still enjoyed both.
"This game's about as long as Marvel's Spider-Man Game..."

@@ethanconlin6856 They are comparing the length of the game dumbass
Instead of modes like "Ghost Survivors" and "Resistance" Capcom should really put all their time and resources into extending the stories in these remakes. Throw far more surprises that weren't in the originals and stop CUTTING SHIT OUT from the originals!
What i would like to see would be mr x chasing you in re3 idk if thats possible story wise but it would be super cool
I agree 💯 say it how it is they fucked this game
If they are going to do multiplayer again, they should have made something like outbreak
Not to mention the tone of resistance is so off-putting
I agree! Love the remakes but idk. I feel more could be put to them.
I feel like if they included puzzles and one more section the game would've been perfect. I knew when REsistence was announced as a free add on that RE3 would be incredibly short.
One major disappointment was that the Clock Tower that was in the og RE3 was not playable in remake. The Clock Tower was an iconic location in RE3 with puzzles. To not have it is a letdown.
They should have included the Mercenaries mode instead of REsistence, if you ask me.

Nemesis still looks like he's wearing trash bags.
He is
Life just got that much easier for Cosplayers
I think he's wearing tape
Kinda digged the body bag look
I kind of like that aspect if his design. It really reinforce the fact he's manufactured and only a prototype.
If it was a 20$ expansion for resi2 this would've been a masterpiece!
That's what Jeremy said exactly
@Phry3
I have absolutely zero problems with the length. It's that the game is so incredibly linear and scripted. The puzzles are painfully simple, it feels so dumbed down. The areas are too small and the enemies are a bit too easy to deal with. Not nearly as interesting as the ones in RE2 in terms of gameplay.
And Nemesis? He was great!
... in the demo. No, seriously. The demo is the part of the game where Nemesis is present the most, the way he should be anyway.
He's bigger. He can sprint. He can catch and pull you with his tentacle. His punches follow up. He can stun you with a roar. His grab is an instant kill.
In every way he's superior to Mr X, except two: All of his encounters are scripted, and they are *way* too short. When he got the rocket launcher I was so happy he was getting an upgrade, but then it ended. Just like that. He doesn't chase you after that.
They could have easily made more sequences where he stalks you, but instead they animated a bunch of cutscenes. Isn't that _more_ expensive than letting the player take the wheel?
Edit: Ok, I tried Hardcore again, and it does feel a little better. Nemesis especially feels like Hardcore is his "normal" difficulty. He uppercutted me through a door 😂
This way it makes a little more sense to not have him hunt you so much, as it would make it too difficult and annoying, but I still think they should have squeezed in one more chase sequence, preferably one with his rocket launcher.
@@viktorthevictor6240
I like you. 👍
@@viktorthevictor6240 have you tried nightmare or inferno mode yet?
@@urokhai1270
No, but I tried Hardcore and it didn't enhance the experience very much. Just made it annoying how scarce ammo is. Maybe I need to give it another chance.
When Jeremy finished a game 3 days after it released, you know the game is short
I completed the game in a day and a half. It's hell of a short. There's even an achievement for completing the game in under two hours. Good while it lasts though
I'm skipping it because it's so short
@@franklinofgreyskull738 RE2 also has a achievement for finishing in under 2 hours. It's one of the requirements for unlocking the rocket launcher. So campaign wise they are the same length.

Gonna be less than $20 at the end of the year (PSN & Steam)
It's already on sale lol
@@MidinVal where?
in what world do you live in where that happens?
I thought titanfall 2 was worth 60 for it's campaign alone, honestly not all games have to be super long. Saying 5 hours of exhilaration isn't worth $60 is like saying you should never go to Universal or Disney which is like $100 for 8 hours (that you can't replay.)
Adds another 4 hour if you want to platinum & want to rush to plat it
Resident Evil 3 Remake had so much potential with Nemesis. I thought it was gonna be similar to Mr X except him with speed mode and higher tension. Disappointed but still satisfied with the game at the very least.
Edit: it actually blows my mind how they removed nemesis completely from the police station. It was a very stupid decision to put carlos there instead of jill.
People were complaining how after the initial encounters with mr x became annoying rather scary cause he was easy to run away from but would just get in the way while you had to do a puzzle.. so I think they cut nemesis’s hunting sections for that reason and made it super intense for a shorter time.
@@tonito_el_tigre but in reality this game was butchered from it's original core. So you get these results, yata yata yata they added content crap but this and that was okay. Good graphics lmfao like this game is supposed to be legendary don't you get it. Like this is trash to it's very standards. This could have been a masterpiece of its kind.
Gage Kleinknight facts. It wasn’t people’s favorite game of all time for no reason.. it holds up today so definitely could of been the new resident evil 4.. I still really enjoyed it and still have a lot of play time to squeeze out of it.
@David Hinkle but nemesis is Mr.X tyrant with parasites they're supposed to be the same but with parasites they gain some intelligent and ability to use weapons and ofcourse tentacles.
[Spoilers]
I didn't like how nemesis was holding back after the first encounter as soon as he stopped being bipedal and smaller he just felt like a oversized licker
Careful of spoilers, friend. People reading the comments may not have played the game yet.
Yeah
There are number of times Nemesis could’ve squashed Jill head and killed her.
But, yer know.. plot armor.
@@AllThings_Gaming-c1m yeah like he would hold her head in his hand dead to right like how he would give the zombies parasites but uh...he would throw her just outta range of his 1 handed flamethrower...
Nemesis transformation was incredibly disappointing, to be honest. I mean, INCREDIBLY. We didn't see him enough in "normal" mode, where he was gazillion times more badass than he was in that licker like creature form. In that form, he kinda lost his character. I wouldn't mind a bit if Nemesis retained his normal form throughout the entire game.
I didn’t like how story wise nemesis had every opportunity to kill jill but......... doesn’t. He freezes up or throws her away like trash instead of idk crushing her head?
Andres ACOSTA most monsters like to play with their food
Reminded me of the terminator movies
The most stupid part is ***SPOILERS***
when he infects her. So basically all he had to do since the beginning was infect her and she would've been done. Lol the game looks beautiful but is very poorly scripted.
Yeah, it sorta took me out of the game when he clearly had the upper-hand in multiple cut scenes to kill the protagonist - like full on fingers gripped around Jill's face contact - and then they have him stall. It makes you second guess if hes really competent or all that effective of a killing machine. But mostly its just cheap attempts to heighten the anxiety of the moment.
There were probably better ways of depicting a struggle between him and Jill during the cinematics.
Nick Poe the biggest one for me was when he had her by the head but instead threw her aside to use the flamethrower............ like wut 😐
love both RE2 and RE3. I would describe RE2 like The last of us: slower paced with more survival horror and exploration while RE3 is more like uncharted: fast paced thrill ride. I admit it is short and there is cut content but it is a hell of a lot of fun.
They made it more linear too :/
"Wow. That was fast!" *Nobody wants to say when spending $60 for a video game*
Funny, “wow that was fast” was what my wife said to me last night
😬
When you quickly got back from the grocery store I’m assuming?? 👀
Pretty cliche joke
I can beat resident evil 2 remake in less than an hour. About 53 minutes. It's short as shit too.
Very funny comment
Love how you get to see what happened to Marvin and the 2 officers that you find dead in re2, graphics are beautiful and really enjoyed the first section where you have to escape town. Length of it made me sad because it ended so quickly
If nemesis was a constant threat and didn’t just force you to progress it’d be so so much harder. He can run, jump miles, hurt you even when down, and infect zombies. It’s be so stressful
Should’ve just increased the length and I would’ve liked it so much more
But that’s how nemesis is supposed to be. Maybe they can nerf him a bit but I got pissed whenever I saw him instead of scared.
This is shockingly a good review of the game.
Showing that versatility there Jeremy
first time ? he has great game reviews , watch the mass effect vids
It's only "shocking" for the New People. Jeremy has been proven his gamer status for probably a decade now.
He's even collaborated with Game Reviewers such as Angry Joe.
@Mando it's not a bad game because it's short, but it is massively disappointing for a multitude of reasons, the length is just one of the main things. While all resi games are short, the problem with re3r in terms of its length isn't that it's short, it feels short. You usually dont notice the length like here.
@Mando and we're talking about a $60 game, but the problem here is that with the other problems on top of the length issues, it legit doesn't feel like it's worth $60. It feels like it should've been a $30-$35 expansion for re2r

It feels like that because he IS a scriptet character lol.

@@vedomedo Yeah lol
Seeing that review then yeah it seems mr x was better as a scary figure. I mean after you learn some tricks on how to avoid him from personal experience and from the internet he is manageable but he still remains an annoying thorn that can spawn at many unfortunate moments to slow you down or even get you into deep trouble if he isn't alone. Nemesis doesn't seem as such a problem as mr x was.
John Winchesterp29 nemesis is a harder opponent than mr x for sure but x is a constant threat which is annoying.
This game was actually amazing I really enjoyed it, but yeah the price tag and the short story are the biggest let downs, but still great game
Matty Widdowson no one is saying it’s shit it’s just unfortunate that it’s soo short for a price tag of full price.
I never said anyone was saying it was shit, I was just giving my opinion 👍🏻
I didnt like the downgrade on the zombies though. Scripted bodies, the gore effects of the limbs when injured just explode in a silly way.
RaginDXDemon I think them creatures that can regenerate, they could have been used better too
Definitely not great whatsoever but an alright game at best.
Really disappointed with how Nemesis was handled and some of the stuff that got cut out.
Afro Shinobi Of course they rushed it. They are a company after all and it’s perfect time to release a zombie virus game
I never played the original and I refuse to to pay any more that 20 bucks for this. What's cut out from the ps1 one version that isn't in the remake?
@@jaketheberge1970 The Clocktower and the park sections as well as live selections (situations where your forced to make a choice think along the lines of Until Dawn but in a RE game basically)...
The Clock Tower, Racoon Park & The Dead Factory are the main areas missing in this remake.
@Jake Theberge
*These are some of the most prominent examples of cuts I can think of at the moment, from the reviews and gameplay footage I have seen, if you want:*
1.) The entire segment where you explored the interior of the clocktower, which many players thought offered a nice change of pace after the Raccoon City streets and could have looked neat in the new RE engine.
2.) There is no singleplayer bonus minigame akin to Mercenaries: Operation Mad Jackal, unless Capcom plans to release free DLC like Ghost Survivors in RE2 Remake.
3.) There is a reduced variety of boss creatures, even if the overall quantity of mandatory boss encounters are the same (since the Gravediggers and Nemesis actively chasing you in second half are both cut, seemingly in favor of Nemesis transforming earlier and fighting you more in those non-human forms).
4.) Exploration in general seems dumbed down, with far fewer puzzles, inability to backtrack to early city areas like Dario’s safe house, and a lack of live-selections allowing you to approach certain areas in branching paths (to be fair, though, at least the randomization mechanics in original are sort of replaced by new difficulty modes that rearrange items/enemies, plus there are new interactive cutscenes to serve some of the other purposes that the live-selection had in original, like making Jill use a vehicle to attack Nemesis).
5.) You no longer get to have two separate endings, and Capcom arguably went with the weaker of the two endings.
*As far as changes go, where it depends more on personal preference, here are some examples:*
1.) In terms of basic enemies, the Drain Deimos, Sliding Worms, Infected Crows, and Giant Spiders are replaced with Lickers, Pale Heads, Parasite Zombies, and more unique Hunter Gammas. Plus, the Drain Deimos are radically redesigned.
2.) Carlos explores the RPD instead of Jill.
3.) The gun powder system for crafting handgun, shotgun, magnum, and three of the grenade rounds are now very different. Plus, the freeze rounds and enhanced handgun/shotgun ammo are cut, possibly in favor of more basic weapon upgrades. The mines are now an alternate grenade launcher ammo type, rather than ammo for a separate mine thrower gun. I think the reloading tool is now an optional bonus item you can put in your inventory to increase the amount of bullets you can craft from gunpowder, rather than a mandatory component of crafting.
4.) You enter the Umbrella facility through an underground passage in Hospital, rather than through the Raccoon Park. So the Hospital is larger while the Raccoon Park is smaller and now an optional side area.
It really is crazy how this game is being received nearly identical to the original RE3. This is what I was expecting, personally.
A true remake lol
? Identical? The original was amazing. This one not so much. The original had a more open world explore feel to it. This was one like a line hallway with a few doors
@@thegreatgeekdetective6925 You ought to go back and play the original if you think it felt like an open world. As for my use of the word "identical", I said that in regards to the game's reception. Reviews and general attitude towards both games have been very similar.
Devin Dalton with both games being criticized for their length, I noticed that too.
TheGreatGeekDetective
He’s right. This game is being received almost exactly like the original RE3. In no way did people feel like RE3 was amazing. They only felt that way in retrospect. In reality the game was viewed as a disappointment and too similar to RE2.
Given that I'm quarantined, I'm not mad I paid the US$60, but damn it was short. It's definitely a good game for $25 tops.
I agree i bought re2 remake on sales for 19.99$ it will be the same for re3 is not worth 60$ for now priority ff7 remake
Lol a ton of people have no jobs I would be mad
I think $40 is a good price if you are a fan
im not mad, it is a shitty time to be alive and quarantined. I am glad I had fun playing this game for however long it taken me to beat.
@@medjrikais2419 $60 for FF7Remake and it isn't even the full game apparently, so I don't see how that's any better.
Not defending RE3R, and I also bought RE2R at a heavy discount, but FF7 is gonna be a wait-to-buy for sure.
Took me just around 4 hours, first blind play through. I preordered it in December, just because how excellent re2 remake was. It’s a good game, but not worth 60. Maybe 30-40. Especially since there is no mercenaries mode.
Apparently a different team did this remake
I paid 15 dollars for RE2 and around 6 dollars for RE3. I spent like 22$ for both so im satisfied lol
4 hours clear time? Or total time?
bob cobb clear, I replayed it again yesterday and beat it again but under 3 hours.
So what was your total time on your first blind playthrough?
Resident Evil 3 (2020) boxart
“WOW! THAT WAS FAST.” -Jeremy Jahns
RE 8 is coming out next year so they had to make a choice: Cut 2 hours of gameplay and release it now, or give us the whole thing in 2022. I wish they had chosen the latter, but you know how shareholders are.
I reckon the devs are just as unhappy.
Actually no, from what i heard they did not cut anything from the game, this was the intended product, ie they did not rush it. Then again this is not a campcom game is an M-two game, and it shows.
I saw a comment on another video saying they even managed to remake the bad reviews from the 1999 game; people saying it's too short and just feels like an add-on to RE2.
Beck Williams wat
Yah, they said they were working on 3 Resident Evils at the same time, so it makes sense. Its just unforunate.
Junko shareholder bastards probably demanded that a multiplayer mode of some sorts would be added to this game.
I just found it hilarious that Remake MrX Plays like the original RE3 Nemesis, where he follows you between rooms and relentless chases.
While Remake Nemesis plays like original Mr X, only showing up in instanced scenarios where he disappears when the area is left.
LMAO just hilarious to me is all.
Bruh OG nemesis was scripted as well. The hell you talking about
@@8DarthGhost8 Yes he was scripted, but he still followed you through instances dude, just like Mr X does in the Remake.
I platinumed it earlier today and I have to say that this is a pretty damn good game. And I personally believe that playing it to get all of the trophies is the best way to play it.
Yeah but I didn't quite get challenged by it, considering you can use infinite weapons to get an S Rank unlike RE2.
MagicJaycee I actually played RE2 for the first time just after commenting this, and platinumed it also just yesterday. And I have to say that I do understand the disappointment surrounding RE3. It’s lacking most of the story and the game doesn’t even have extra content, costumes, etc. You play it and that’s it. But with RE2 you can go back and play different scenarios, unlock costumes, and even unlock hidden survivor modes. Almost in every way, RE2 is better.
@@crimsonsky3440 Exactly! RE2 is a more horror game than RE3. What I like about RE2 the gore is very realistic and the zombies react to the environment when you put them down and MR. X is still more scarier than Nemesis. I always think of Nemesis as a Xenomorph alien in disguise nothing more. I got the Platinum in March 2019 and its way harder. Re3 I platinum it like 3 days after it got released. RE2 took me a month to platinum I'm not kidding, mind you.
They also said that the team who made RE2 is different to the ones who made RE3. So I guess thats why. Let this be a lesson learned so that it will not happen again in future remakes.
MagicJaycee You couldn’t be more on point honestly. I like Nemesis but when compared to MR. X he just falls flat. His design, and clothing and even his walk is intimidating. And I love that they didn’t give him any new abilities, his attacks are still the same and I love that, but he definitely is a lot faster depending on the difficulty.
And to be honest it's way better than that fucking phil spencer and rod fegouson sjw cash and grab gears 5 so yeah not really that bad at all.
Besides the Short Deadline, I've seen and read some complaints from other gamers saying that they were too afraid and annoyed of Mr.X.
So just a guess, but they probably thought that Nemi may end up being too much for us thus the tone down of Badass Nemi.
Am I the only who thought that Mr X looked more intimidating than Nemesis? X had more of a horror appeal where as Nemesis seems like an action villian
Hamza Orakzai yes i agree nemesis was not scary at all. I just found him really badass. Every time he showed up I was oh shit it’s mr. savage. I started laughing when he pulled out the rocket launcher
One way I could compare them:
Mr. X - Being stalked by Michael Myers
Nemesis - Being chased by the Incredible Hulk
I laughed at Nemesis because of his new fashion... Trash fashion 👌😂🤣
Man sooooo many people were overhyping Nemesis after Re2Remake
"You think Mr.X is scary? Wait till you see Nemesis"
"Imagine Mr.X using weapons and he's running at you"
As impressive as Nemesis is, I do agree with what Jeremy said here. The mostly unscripted encounters with Mr X is far more exciting than what we got with Nemesis in this game.
This is from a guy who wasnt a big fan of the original 3. After last year's remake, I knew I'd prefer a Code Veronica remake instead. And now, I still do. I'm hoping Capcom is turning that into their next game, or at least a dlc... But based on recent news, I know it's not gonna happen
Nemesis looks like a generic humanoid monster. Mr X had this mystery to him, and it works way more at least for me.
Nemesis is a fookin BRUTE in this game and I think the reason why he only appears at specific times is because they wanted to make him viciously aggressive. Mr. X was slow and that’s how they could make him chase you the whole game. Nemesis WILL kill you fast and so they couldn’t have him chase you the whole game. IMO
Yeah agreed. If he was around the whole time it would become frustrating as fuck since he's so powerful. If they wanted Nemesis to be around the whole game they would have had to nerf him to Mr X levels, at which point you're just doing Mr X again so why bother.
I hate mister X. I like to explore and open all the door, he was annoying. I run out of ammo constantly, nemesis worked like mister x and nemesis from the original games, were they got activated after you pick certain items. Definitely the game was too short.
I think that they made nemesis a good Villian for specifically this game and how short it was, you didn’t spend too much time walking around outside and because it’s so short there isn’t rlly a chance for him to be a constant threat. So for him to be so overpowered during the moments where his is chasing you I think was a way to make up for not making like Mr X and having the game rlly short
Give us the director's cut of RESIDENT EVIL 3 including all the cut contents.
I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit of disappointing that we couldn't be able to explore into Clock Tower like an original RE3 did. Oh well.
Exactly what I am saying they should remake this game again and completely bring everything back from the original into the remake and they better do it or capcom is going to get alot of endless hate.
Everything Jeremy said is legit everything I thought. Great game but it's so short, there's even an achievement to beat it in 2 hrs. But I had loads of fun with it, just wish it was longer and yes Mr. X felt more threatening then Nemesis. RE2 gave me serious Alien Isolation vibes.
That achievement doesn't really mean anything, every RE game can be completed in less than 2 hours.
@@Hectorlo Yeah after the 1st time you beat it.
@@doranmitchell1700 Well yeah and RE3 is no exception to that.
@@DarkAttackYT Oh I agree with you totally on the Nemesis part and on Alien Isolation, that game scared the hell outta me before the Alien even appeared. What I was getting at is after a while Nemesis just felt more like a nuisance. Where as in RE2 I feel Mr. X had a much more threatening presence, that's why I compared him to the Xeno. He's constantly roaming, you can hear him and not see him which in horror I think is very effective, and he doesn't die until a cutscene in the game. I felt that with Mr. X there was a constant feeling of fear and dread, whereas with Nemesis it's like "bro get a life"😂😂
@@Hectorlo Probably yeah but I think that says something about the overall length of the campaign as well. But personally I'm always looking for extra shit in games so it always takes me for-fucking-ever to beat a campaign. I'm that person that's almost always backtracking if I saw something or think there might be something somewhere.
I really loved the game. Only down side is...i wanted more. Too short. Nightmare mode switches things up. This i really liked. Including all unlocktables. Great to play as Jill again 2.
I wanted more Jill and Carlos
@@millasuini8307 yes me 2. It can not just end like that. I hope we will see more of them in the future
Exactly! The hate the game is getting is beyond ridiculous. Game is as short as RE2 imo. A and B scenarios in RE2 were basically the same with different doors already opened and items located in different places. Shit RE3 has even more unlockables than RE2 and you're not forced to play on hardcore mode to unlock a good infinite weapon!
@@millasuini8307 same i like jill and carlos they are fun to play as im playing it everyday 😊
How's the Resistance Mode?
And yeah, I'm waiting to get this game on sale.
Its a dead by daylight type multiplayer game where 4 players have to escape a zone and 1 is a mastermind who watches them through cameras and spawns traps and enemies and can directly control them too. It comes as a separate game along with the RE3.
I didnt like it because of dodgy frame rates and very sloppy texture clipping. It all lacks the polish RE2 and 3 have. And theres RPG elements such as damage indicators.
It wishes it was dead by daylight.
You can just drop random monsters straight on top of players, but most of the time they destroy any and all enemies you put against them. Even Mr X can get bullied by players, since they can stagger him easily, and they calculate damage and health more like an RPG, than a resident evil game. Where you hit them, and floating numbers show how much damage you did, but 2 Mr X punches aren't even enough to put someone in yellow.
Honestly it's really bad. Would of been great if it was a free to play game, but with how RE3 feels short, and unfinished, it feels more like including it with RE3 only made re3's development suffer heavily.
Also, you can pay real money for xp boosters.
Its an inferior and more annoying dead by daylight
Trojianmaru What? You can bully a bad Mr. X / Mastermind. It’s surprisingly balanced, or it seems right now. Mr. X can win the game if you’re good at it.
It would have been great if you were able to play it for yourself in the beta, as shitty of a beta it was. I really like it personally.
And since I played it quite a bit so far, I can say that if one side doesn't know the game well they will be stomped on easily. But a good Mastermind vs good survivors is a tough match. I also finished RE3 Remake, so the whole package is very worth it to me.
Speaking of Resident Evil movies, I feel they should adapt the remakes starting from RE1.
Need a good director who actually play the games
raven knight Ari Aster.
Nah Remake 1 is good for what it is. It doesn’t need its image tarnished and have content removed from it for no reason.
they could’ve done more with this game. i felt like the game was a slight downgrade from the re2 remake. i wish i would’ve waited to buy the game at a lower price. fun game but not worth the $60 ish dollars.
Good concise detailed review jeremy. Can't wait for the Ff7 remake review. Also, you should absolutely do more game reviews even after covid fucks off.
Would have been interesting if they started the game earlier and had us watch the slow fall of Racoon City instead of "Jill wakes up and zombies are everywhere, somehow".
Welp, the original re3 game was quick too.. lol XD
Tbh, it was always shorter compared to re2 in the original ps1. Also that we played as Jill more and only played Carlos a bit. Ya they removed the clock tower(ugh spiders......), Would of been nice to see if Nemesis could climb that ladder all the way up without breaking. I hated the last part of the original because of the water specimen puzzle of Hell... Seriously, who wants that in the remake? 😒 But ya, I did feel the quick cash on after re2 remake. I'm still waiting for them to remake Code Veronica and Outbreak Files. I've heard they're planning on remaking re4... But why?!!!! :O
He said that, and went even further to say the remake felt even shorter.
Resi evil 4 remake, Exactly why, if a resit evil needs a remake like these it is the first one, That would be creepy as hell
@@chucky110 No way. Part 4 is Fine as it is. I hope that's plainly a Rumor. If feel like if they Remake that, they'll kinda Ruin it for what it is
I wish if they do another remake it needs to be code Veronica. So many fans seem to overlook code Veronica, but it’s actually a great game in the series and I’d love to see it remade at some point. Now re4 on the other hand does not need to be remade and it’s a gem the way it is
Kedel Masterkey again, I don’t understand how making a shitty remake devalues the original game at all, that is such a silly mindset.
Yet nobody batted at eye when Spiders were cut from Remake 2...
Actually, it was a common complaint :P
Oh shit!!! I completely forgot about the spiders 🤦🏽♂️
And the chimeras Re2 had alot of shit cut as well nothing as iconic as the missing parts of 3 though. I think Re2 is better all together but Re3 feels and looks better to play. Not to mention 3 has the best boss fights since Re7 I didn't care much for the Birkin fights except stage 3 G.
@@TheNightWolf-WildCraft Outside Joe DLC the only boss I liked in 7 was Marguerite. Resi7 overall was more on-rails than these other games and lack of enemy variety hurt its replayability.
Also another cut monster in 2 was the giant moth.
Forgot about the moth, and the 2 fights with Jack in the garage are awesome and can play out so many ways I really like that, and Marguriette was nightmare fuel bending in half backwards whle standing._.._ Yikessss
I think that one of the reasons this game feels so much shorter than RE 2 is that in this one you spent so much less time exploring/puzzle solving. In the last game, the RPD station was essentially one giant puzzle, wherein you had to solve several smaller puzzles to advance to the next one.
And it kinda had a Dark Souls, labyrinthine vib to it. You got to know the station so well, and knew which routes where quicker and which were dangerous (I still have nightmares about the west corridor). And while I would say that this could count as padding, it is enjoyable padding. Slowly discovering and maping out the station was a slow burn joy.
RE 3 by contrast does not have as much map-puzzles. It is much more direct: Go here, and go here. So I really liked this game, but I do wish they had of applied the whole RPD station scheme to the whole city.
But I think that if you were to run through RE 2 already knowing where to go and exactly what to do you could probably get through it pretty quickly. Probably well within 7 hours actually.
So I think RE 3 while shorter, it is more streamlined. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is up to you however.
I chose to watch Jeremy's review instead of going to IGN or any other channel, that has been bought and paid for and I believe that says something; as to how good his reviews really are.
also I feel like this current console generation, PS4 has literally just become my resident Evil machine and I loved every minute of it.
I like that he actually knows what he is talking about and not just repeating shit other people have been saying all over the Internet.
That makes him trustworthy and that's a beautiful character trait. :)
Rookie Travel Diaries that's Jeremy for ya
Rookie Travel Diaries Ironic because he’s doing just that, repeating what everybody else is saying despite it being untrue or misinterpreted. Everyone says the game is short...but if you actually checked the length of the RE3 Remake and compared it to the ACTUAL length of the RE2 Remake OR the original RE3, they’re VERY SIMILAR IN LENGTH! The RE2 Remake can be completed in under 1 hour without cheating! This video is on UA-cam and has the Capcom devs reacting to it. Even the original RE3 is short as hell but no ones bitching because it has many different “areas”. Well then THAT should be the complaint then, not length! And then there’s people who say that the RE2 Remake has multiple characters so it has more replay value. BS! Leon and Claire’s campaign are VERY similar minus the Sherry and Ada section not to mention there’s only 3 difficulty settings... in RE3 Remake at least there’s 5 difficulty settings and the later 2 difficulties actually increase the challenge immensely unlike the RE2 Remake while adding extra enemies and moving items around. Sure the RE2 Remake does this as well on the second run but it limits the gameplay with the lack of difficulty settings! All in all, I think it’s very similar in length and people just don’t notice! The RE2 Remake really only has 3 main areas to explore... the RPD, the sewers, and the lab. While the RE3 Remake has the city streets, the RPD, the sewers, the hospital and the lab too! That’s 2 extra areas and people complain about the RE3 Remake when the RE2 Remake has less overall areas to explore! Absolute nonsense.
@@Mr.Honest247 I don't know about how bullshit all these reviews are. Reviews are subjective by nature anyway.
But the hour-long run that you mentioned, are you sure it's not a speed run you are referring to because those things are supposed to be short... that's why they are called speed runs. Devs reacting to it sorta makes it even more obvious that it's impressive and not easily achievable.
In terms of gameplay, adding difficult levels doesn't add on to the overall length of the game. It's extends your experience, sure. But length, I am not so sure about that.
I don't think anyone's complaining about the areas to explore in RE3. Again, it's just the matter of how long you stay into the story and most of them felt it wasn't worth releasing it as a standalone game. They either released it too soon or removed some parts in order to release them later as DLCs.
I don't know, man. I am not here to defend the game. I was just impressed by the genuinity of the way he delivers his reviews... not just this one, mind you. Rather most of his reviews sounds honest and based on first-hand experience.
Gotta give credit where it's due 🙂
The original RE3 was my favorite of the RE series, and I've really been enjoying this one as well. It's definitely short, but I'm also really having fun. I have to agree that if you aren't a huge RE3 fan, you should probably wait for a sale. I don't miss the clock tower map, however, as I have pretty severe arachnophobia, so taking out a level filled with giant realistic spiders is something I'm not going to lose any sleep over. I think if they had Mercenaries Mode from the original or Ghost Survivors from RE2: Remake, the criticism would be a lot less.
7 hours is the longest I've heard. Even with back tracking and file reading its usually around 5
Took me about 7h:30m, but I like taking my time and exploring stuff, so I never rush a first playthrough.
@@biodynamic91 I did the same. A lot of back tracking and reading but somehow finished at 4 hours 20 minutes
@@MaxPaynefan1 Fair enough. I don't know why exactly, but I always take a long ass time to finish RE games compared to most other people. :p I think my first playthrough of RE 2 took me some 11 hours in Hardcore, while most people seemed to be done with it in 7-8 hours, or even less.
@Tahmid Antar normal
@Tahmid Antar I did. Got a faster time
Hey Jeremy you haven't reviewed the last 2 seasons of Star Wars Rebels :) Wondering what's your opinion on it... As a fan of the lore I love it more than the sequels tbh ^^
SPOILERS
I thought everything about this game was incredible from a presentation standpoint. The graphics are GORGEOUS, Jill and Carlos look amazing, the voice acting is great (I specifically love the cut scene where Nicholai shoots that man in the garage, Jill’s reaction is awesome).
But I don’t like how Nemesis doesn’t feel like a constant force to be reckoned with. At one point I straight up forgot he was in the game, which doesn’t do him or the concept of the game justice. Another thing that bothered me is that he doesn’t even get to kill Brad, or anyone other than Tyrell for that matter. He’s the STARS killer, and he only kills one guy, that works for Umbrella. He just didn’t feel like much of a threat, especially when he just turned into a Bloodborne boss wannabe for the second half of the game. It’s just so glaringly obvious they rushed this game to meet a deadline, and included Resistance to try to make up for a short ass campaign. But Resistance is very mediocre. I miss Mercenaries mode.
There is so much in this game I love, but if they added 2 more zones, and maybe one more section where you play as Carlos, it would be much much better. I give it a 6/10. I was on the hype train for this game from the moment they announced the 2 remake, so I’m really bummed how this one turned out.
The bit where he killed all the people in the train was sad though
I feel you. I feel you :(. If it was priced at $40. 8/10!
the game is paced kinda weirdly, too, feels like some sections have been cut and the rest of the game was awkwardly stitched together to cover it up. There's at least 2 moments in the game where you go directly for the boss with no gameplay levels in between.
[spoliers]
you take control of Jill after Carlos's RPD level, and it's straight to a Nemesis boss fight - they could've had a short section of gameplay on the waterway/park leading up to it. Same goes for the end of the game - you beat Nemesis stage 2, you go to a safe room, and you immediately fight the final boss - Nemesis stage 3. They could've had a section of corridors and zombies there as well (maybe the clock tower somehow?), it feels awkward jumping from one boss encounter to the other with nothing in between, especially when the game is this low on content.
I feel like putting mercenaries in probably wouldn't be that much work, either - use maps from resistance, spawn some zombies randomly, get some basic rules of the encounters, and you're good. You wouldn't even need 10 playable characters at launch, get Jill, Carlos, Leon, Ada, and Clarie since they already got all the combat animations (just add the dash to RE2 characters), and maybe put some more characters and maps as DLC later on.
Killing Brad was such a big introduction for the monster awwww damn. I think I'm gonna nostalgia play the original RE3 and wait til this one is cracked. Sue me.
Will the real nemesis please stand up
Resident Evil 3: The best ResiEvil movie. It's about the same length.

@@crispykid09 I know it is, and that's a shame because I did like what was there, I enjoyed my time. I think they wanted people to spend the same number of hours in Resistance, but who can tell at this point.
Dawid Bednorz I finished it the second time in 4 hours and after 3 more runs I had it down to 1:45
Straight up love this game.
I can see where Jeremy's coming from, but it works. It's a combination of the original 3 and the re2 remake. The original 3 was shorter. The only thing I do complain about a bit is I wanted more of first stage NEMESIS just chasing you.
Dude the original was longer than 4 hours the campaign was minimum 6 hours + Mercenaries + replay-ability + cut content I was getting the impression that cause it was a remake it would have a bigger campaign mode and have you play as both Jill and Carlos in different Scenarios as it would be different to see Carlos working with umbrellas
It's good if you only play it once. But if you play it again... the facade starts to crack and you realize how much of an on rails theme park this remake is.
@@avengeddecay2360 the game definitely should have been longer I wanted it to last forever, it should have kept mercenaries and choices to change the story around and a few other things... but you are REEEEAAACCCHING saying that the old campaign was 6 hours minimum lmao smh people have beat that shit in under an hour and thats with door opening loading screens, the length of the two really isn't all that different.
BigBoss if your speed running it then yes if you are a scavenger and want to pick up every item in the game most say it’s 6 hours it took me 8 hours cause nemesis was more dedicated to chase the player
@@avengeddecay2360 look I'm not hatin man but scavenging and picking up every item and "minimum" are counter-intuitive. I'm just saying the length of a playthrough isnt really that much of a stretch between the two.
I'm not a professional reviewer so please, don't think you're not entitled to liking this game. This is all based on personal preferences.
Graphics-wise, this game looks beautiful. Resident Evil 2 already did, and it seems like they somehow managed to polish their engine a lot more. The lighting is superb and the shadows are legit shadows instead of negative colors. The character design is outstanding and the details are well, very-detailed. Now, it's 2020, having good-graphics is the standard nowadays, so while yes, the game looked beautiful, there are other games with the same quality of graphics. Hopefully that makes sense.
I still think however, that Nemesis was scarier while he was wearing all those trash bags that covered his face. Once his face was revealed, the fear and intrigue was lost. He felt like a cheap gimmick that CAPCOM used as clickbait to sell the game. He was severely underused and was just another enemy.
I personally liked Carlos more than Jill. I can definitely see him as a protagonist in a future game or CGI movie. I enjoyed his sections a lot more than Jill's go-here, escape-from-Nemesis, go-here and escape-from-Nemesis again.
Like you said, the game was incredibly linear. The magic of Resident Evil 2 Remake was that since Mr. X was following you around, and there were lickers in some hallways, you needed to strategize what route to take, and prioritize a task instead of running around guns-blazing. The map was big, it was open and there were multiple places to revisit or use as shortcut to get someplace else; this doesn't exist in RE3 other than the small main-area near the train-station.
If I had to give a score to this game, it'll be an underwhelming 7 out of 10. For the sake of not boring you to death, I'll stop the review here. The game had amazing potential, but nothing was done with it.
I here people saying all the time it's not worth $60. So my question is, what justifies a game to be $60? My question is, did you have fun? That's all that matters. To me if you were entertained and it was fun to play it, then it's worth $60. I've played some broken games that cost $60 . Re 3 isnt one of them. That's all I'm saying. What are the standards that makes a game $60?
Took me 4 hours and I wasn’t blazing threw it
I'm 5 and a half hrs in and just got to the part where Carlos has to hold off the zombies in the hospital lobby while waiting for the shutters to close on the windows. Not sure how much is left after but Ive been taking my time so idk. It's shorter for sure but it's not a huge negative for me.
Stephen Sporman about another hour or two left
Took me 7 hours on Hardcore difficulty
That kinda sucks. I guess they got the guts of the graphics/mechanics down, now they can churn out the rest in record time
Angry Joe: FOOOUURRRRRR HOOOOUURRRRRSSSSS???!?!?!
I loved the RE2 remake, but from all the reviews I’ve heard I’m glad I haven’t bought it yet.
I got the game as a gift and I've been too afraid to play it
So I bought the dlc key that unlocks all the weapons :)
The re2 remake was the only resident evil game I played and I liked it so much I got all the trophies. But smt about the re3 remake seems less than the previous one in quite a few areas.
monfr0 way to completely ruin a great experience. Try it first and challenge yourself. You may be surprised
Play Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Jeremy, I'm sure you will love it, it was a whole new experience for me as a gamer! We're waiting for your review!
The Witcher 3 is amazing, but that’s a one-hundred hour monster of a game. I guess he has the time with the quarantine, but that’s still a big undertaking.
@@bizmonkey007 very much true, took me around 400h with both dlcs. But very much worth the time spent
Absolutely hate the combat.
I agree with everything you said 100% I beat the game yesturday in 6 hours as well and I thought it felt too short and I didn't like that they charged 60 dollars for a game that felt like it was only worth 20.
I enjoyed it. Yeah, the shortness is a bit of a bummer, but there were hardly any dull moments. You were always in action or about to be in action, especially in the hospital when they bring in our favorite green agile af friends. I enjoyed how they improved upon some monsters and updated their looks to make them more frightening/menacing. I’m okay with dropping the money due to being in quarantine and being bored out of my mind.
I personally loved the game! I really enjoyed the story it was a new perspective on a 20 year old game and it felt fresh..love jill, carlos, and nemesis design i thought they looked great. Loved the different nemesis forms My biggest complaint with this game is that yes its short my first play through was about 4 and a half hours and also icdid not agree with them cutting areas like the clock tower or the grave digger fight but appriciated the power station expansion as well as the hospital and lab expansion. I like how they encouraged replayability by offering the unlockable difficulty modes which were challenging but felt that they were lacking on costumes and new game plus items. Overall i really enjoyed playing it and icwould give this game an 8.5/10
Good review, completely agree with you
I was expecting to be able to explore the city like you could in the original. Why does this feel like a long hallway with a few doors?
They missed a trick by leaving out certain central areas from the original. It is a great game though, but like the PS version, it is not a patch on RE2. I hope they redo Code Veronica next, and leave RE4 alone !!
I loved this game. I was okay with nemesis not stalking like Mr X because I figure they didn’t want to just repeat what they already did with Mr. X in the RE2 remake. I agree it should have been $40.00 though.
Thanks man your reviews are awesome, the original is one of my favorite games of all time, so i've been watching plenty of reviews, and still i had to see yours, you always get to the point, give objective arguments and are pretty direct. That's grat!
I'm very interested in seeing how long will Jeremy's hair get well into quarantine...
Lol
The game is good, but I have a few complaints:
-It's kind of easy. They are extremely generous on health and ammo compared to RE2
-Not much puzzle solving
-Lack of replayability/alternate routes or paths you can take
-The transitions between Jill and Carlos really effected the pacing. They should have just had their own separate campaigns
-Not enough Nemesis. He only shows up in scripted fights
-Nemesis has MULTIPLE opportunities to kill Jill, but for whatever reason never does
-The game is definitely short
-Lack of skins. Where are the skins from the original RE3? Why not give us RE5 Jill which was highly requested?
-No Mercenaries mode, or a special similar mode to keep your attention after beating the campaign
@Agent P Yeah, one skin. Two via DLC if you pre-ordered. That ain't shit.
I literally had no idea there would have been a RE3 remake until i've seen this review.
How tho
@@TrentM03 Other things on my mind
Jeremy going for that _'Last of the Brunnen-G'_ look in this vid. LOL.
I enjoyed the game, but I def think $35-40 would have been a better price. The game ran smoothy for me & I did not experience any technical issues. I really liked the expanded Carlos content, but disliked how Clocktower & the Park was removed. Boss fights were epic & Jill apparently has bodybuilder strength. I'm a hardcore zombie fan, though, so I will be replaying this. I beat Resident Evil 1 remake like 12 times and RE2 like 8-10 times lol.
In essence DLC for resident evil 2
I enjoyed the game a lot, but it's definitely overpriced considering how quickly it can be beaten. Took me 10 hours for 2 playthroughs.
I would have rather that they fleshed out the campaign a little more instead of adding the multiplayer mode.
if they threw in a little more depth to the characters and their relationships just to flash out the story a little more i wouldn't mind the price
As long as you're having fun. I did think this game came out ~fast~
I still want them to do REZero in some good coop
The thing I Loved the most about RE3 was the choice routes either do A. or B. or nothing and get 3 different outcomes that might have different effects, like opening a new path or meeting a new creature that you see only once etc... If this element isn't here, then they have truly messed it up for me.
YES! Finally JJ reviewed RE3! No wonder they got an add on RE Resistance, tbh they should have just added or called it Outbreak Online would have been a good selling point. I can agree get this on a sale, I can breeze through the game and avoid Nemesis, the only cheap BOW's here are the hunters with their one hit throat slit. Sadly as well Nem's is only in scripted areas after you leave that certain area he's gone like the ones with the Gamma hunters would have been great if he was there hunting you then suddenly pops up outta nowhere for the burning building boss fight.
i think my first playthrough of RE2 was like 8 hours. I spent a lot of time just looking around. 100 times later I do all of them in about an hour and 15 minutes so RE# didn't feel so short to me. I hope they do a ghost survivor equivalent.
I smell DLC in the near future. probably DLC for the other half of the game
Arts Veiman no bro they want to add more dlc for the other game .
Re3 nemesis original was always a short game I wasn't expecting an oddesy
3 hours doesn't seem that long
I get anxiety attacks from Nemesis running right at you lol that shit made my heart pump faster 😂
I was watching my friend play it on live stream and when he got to the lab, I said "do you know when it's over" and I don't know if he saw the comment, but I definitely felt like it was being wrapped up. I spoke to him on Discord last night and he told me it took him like 7 or 8 hours to complete the game and then he did another shot at it to see how long he could play it in one sitting and he ended up finishing it in 3 hours or so. He paid $90AUD, that's insane. RE3 looks nice and shiny, but I would not pay full retail price for it. Especially when money is very tight right now.
It definitely felt less like a remake and more of a cliff notes version of RE3
I do feel it's worth $60. But that's me, someone who will play it multiple times and go for 100%, and then must likely speedrun it.
Also the Multiplayer mode is so damn fun.
Heres hoping for a proper mercenaries mode to be added later. Or other content like ghost survivors in 2.
Jeremy, I love your game reviews. Big fan of Eesident Evil, so glad they moved away from the more action dudebro approach of RE6
This comment must be ironic, like RE3 is a super action packed game closer to, bemusing enough, RE6...
Most successful RE games are Action and "dudebro", Re6 problems is not that, it's just a lower quality game, it has nothing to do with action or ...(more like mechanics,Design,levels)
@@hoomanrasouli1851 Facts man you expect it to have action in it considering your dealing with folks who work in special tactics, outside of his charisma and dialogue Wesker's such a great villain because he's the ultimate badass in cqc.
just found this channel and I'm totally subscribing to this guy.
I hoped, that they will work on Resident Evil 3 because I always felt, that RE3 deserved more love from CAPCOM and... well.
It feels so weird that they just cut out the so many of the sets/places from original game. I know that it's a remake and everything...but Jill didn't meet up with the Umbrella operatives until a good chunk into the story, not when it first starts. Plus I personally prefer Brad's original death, since not only did that serve as the introduction for Nemesis, but his death was way more gruesome as well. And the Infamous line of "You want S.T.A.R.S? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S!" Doesn't have nearly the same impact or context that it did in the original.
Jeremy says the Resident Evil movies arent good or intense. That means he hasnt seen the animated movies.
He's obviously not counting those.
What you mean good and intense? Ok I like the starring Leon and ada wong movie but the sequel with chris was awful. Rebecca in wedding dress was quite eye candy though
He's clearly talking about the live action movies.
Resident movies are my guilty pleasure!
@@RainingFlow19 There are 3.
I bought resident evil 3 for $50. It's definitely worth the price because it is fun on nightmare mode and replays
Ok Jeremy, so we saw your review for Re2 remake and now this. Do you ever think we'll ever see an RE1 remake review? More classic game reviews would be cool.
Correction: Mr. X's appearances are actually also scripted like Nemesis. The difference is you can hear Mr. X a mile away, he's slow, and has no way seeing you thru walls. This tricks you into thinking he was always been there trying to look for you. Nemesis on the other hand knows exactly your position as soon as he appears with or without walls, he can leap and dash to cut your route, and can stealth hunt you until he's in your face. Im not saying one is better than the other but Mr. X's capabilities that translated to gameplay worked better for suspense and tricking you he's a random encounter. Nemesis's system forces you to face him asap and decide whether to fight or run(action-focused).
King Cobra Mr X is actually always roaming around. Someone hacked the game and put the camera on mr x when you’re not looking at him and he’s constantly surveying. When you get the lever for the bookcase he does teleport over to meet you in that green clover door room
Not actually true. Mr. X has a few scripted sequences where he spawns outside a room with a key item, but all other times throughout REmake 2 he is consistently roaming around the RPD and following your footsteps, gunshots, and confrontations with other enemies.
Nemesis is a straight downgrade from Mr. X, and they were even claiming that they made him more advanced after using Mr. X as a prototype, which is clearly bullshit. Nemesis is nothing but scripted linear sequences and boss fights in this remake, when in the original the city streets were much larger and more open and you had the choice to go to 3-4 major areas in different orders, and his encounters were even different depending on which path you took first.
SkellionPowalskiz to be clear thats kinda what i meant. His(Mr. X) spawn time is scripted but he feels not because of his mechanics and implementation. Its like 1 is scripted to spawn in the area but the other(Nemesis) is scripted to spawn in your face. Lol
Im just saying both spawn time are scripted but Mr. X's mechanics is better in terms of hiding it and suspense.
Jeremy will you review Death Stranding. Apologize me if you answered this already.
Resident evil 3 remake is like only 40% of the original RE3, its really sad and disappointing...
you did me wrong capcom, you did me wrong.
I just bought this game. After listening to reviews here and there back when it launched I decided to wait for it to go on sale. Got it for $20 and I’m having a blast with it.
Dear Jeremy Please review The gangster the cop and the devil.
I watch all your reviews and this is one movie i think you really shouldnt miss.
I'm not entirely sure why every standardized review of this game seems to be parroting each other. Personally I loved the RE2 remake but my complaint was that it was too long. I don't have 20+ hours to contribute to a HORROR game. RE3 took me just under 8 hours (about 3 days) to complete. Which feels perfect for a suspense driven horror game. I think the biggest reason why RE3 is shorter than RE2 is because it has less puzzles which actually helps maintain the pacing better. It's also lacking the gimmick of replaying the entire game but from another characters perspective-which nearly doubled the playtime. To me, RE3 is more replayable and the graphics-especially character faces and animation are even more impressive than RE2. There are complaints that Nemesis doesn't behave the same way Mr. X did in RE2. GOOD! Why would you want something already done, to be done again?? Nemesis feels like a different antagonist and especially in later levels, proves to be much more horror-inducing than Mr. X was in later levels.
I just don't know what people want anymore. Show them a unicorn that craps glitter and they'll find something to complain about. Seriously.
Wallet: $$$
Me: Wow, the atmosphere, environment and the gameplay are good.
Also Me: (After 5 hours) Credit rolls
Also Also Me: (diwqjidoqwidnqwindoizxoczomw)
Gonna Wait till price drops
Just buy Persona 5 Royal, it's about 130 hours of game,best investment ever
Walter White they are great! If you have a PS4 you should get Persona 5 Royal,it just released,it's an updated version of Persona 5,Trust me,you Will Love it,im addicted to this game,I literally can't stop playing
Walter White after that,If you like the game(you will) you can play Persona 3 and 4 on the PS2,If you have a PS2
Walter White It has A LOT of added content,like 30 hours of gameplay,a new "Palace"(which is what the dungeons in the game are called, won't spoil it for you) new characters,new personas,new activities to do around Tokyo,30 new songs,revamped combat system,revamped graphics... it's literally a better version of the base game
I've already beat the game 2 times. Playing on hardcore now.
Beat it on inferno my dude....in an hour
Are there any other extra characters or missions or stuff after you finish it???
Just beat it on Inferno in 1:15 and got the Platinum
frantisek petrasek I’ve heard there is shop where you can buy weapons. Also there are REmake and OG costumes
@@cipur11 no. You unlock nightmare mode after you beat hardcore mode, and inferno mode after you beat nightmare mode. Aka, hard mode, harder mode, hardest mode.
There's no stuff like survivors mode, and the only NG+ you really get, is points earned from achievements, that you can spend on buying Jill's RE1 outfit, unlimited Ammo handgun (that can't use the upgrades you get for the starter pistol), unlimited Ammo assault rifle (again, no upgrades), an unlimited Ammo bazooka, a weird gun that acts like an unlimited Ammo magnum, but only does damage if you hit a weak point, and has a 5 second charge after every shot, a fire knife, and Jill's original pistol, the samurai edge (again, no upgrades).
You can also get 2 coins that increase hp regen, 2 coins that increase defense, 2 coins that increase damage, a book that increases the window to make perfect dodges, 4 extra inventory slots from the start (not allowed on Assisted) and the lockpick and bolt cutters from the start.
Honestly, none of it is worth it. I always had shed loads of Ammo for all my guns, so infinite Ammo wasn't that useful, and unlike in Re2, where you could blow limbs off, and they kept coming, the zombies in RE3 die really easy. I've permanently killed them while aiming only at a limb.
And to get everything in the store, you need to complete every trophy in the game. That means an S ranking in the hardest difficulty, playing an entire playthrough without ever opening the item box (so no unlimited Ammo weapons, no assault, defense, or regen coins, no perfect dodge book, and discarding items when you run out of space), playing an entire playthrough without healing more than once, etc etc etc.
So by the time you get everything, you don't feel like playing the game anymore.
I bought this game at full price and although I enjoyed every single moment, Jeremy is right... It's really a very short game, almost feels rush at some points, even when the Nemesis boss fights were intense, I didn't feel the same pressure or anxiety that Resident Evil 2 gave me...
Oh well, I guess I'll play the game again for the trophies that I miss and maybe I'll check out Doom Eternal
Play the original re3 it’s way better then this dog shit off a remake
@@OscarHernandez-bb6zp I did play it when I was a kid, but never finished it because my dad took it away for being "too violent" for a girl...
Martha Merino that sucks I still have the original re3 on my psp vita
Want for Resident Evil 3 Remake More weapons more outfits and New Game Modes
And here I was expecting RE 3 Remake to be longer than RE 2 Remake...
Not even the original re3 was longer than OG re2. Funny thing the original re3 was like DLC side story to re2, which capcom then decided to call it re3 nemesis and also sold it full price. Still enjoyed both.
