One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car. Players would also remember that immediately after leaving the area, the gas station would blow up, and it will be interesting to see whether this will also happen in the rem

Additionally, Raccoon City will be much more expansive and will be filled with explosive items that will be extremely useful in temporarily stunning Nemesis or blasting off hordes of zombies. At the moment, the explosive items that were revealed include red barrels that will explode when shot and generators that will send a surge of electrical pulse that will stun Nemesis and any other monsters that are caught in its blast. Just like in the original game, the addition of explosive items adds a new layer of texture to the gameplay and gives players the opportunity to strategize its use. Should they use the red barrel now to kill a few zombies, or is it better to save it for later in case Nemesis drops

Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren’t as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she’s in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today’s video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn’t intentional, Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn’t really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis

It is worth remembering that Carlos and Mikhail are mercenaries hired by the Umbrella Corporation , which in Jill’s eyes, makes them her sworn enemies. Of course, apart from Jill knowing that Umbrella is behind the Raccoon City disaster that killed most of the city’s inhabitants, she also holds a grudge to the company for causing the deaths of her teammates. So at face value, Jill’s tone with Carlos and Mikhail does appear mean-spirited, however, it does make sense given the context of the situat

Resident Evil 3 remake is set to release this April, which is the latest title in the original RE trilogy to get a remake. However, aside from zombies and other monsters, the first three Resident Evil games had something else in common given that they all took place in Raccoon City, or at least in its outskirts as is the case in the first Resident Evil . Throughout Resident Evil’s 23-year history, Raccoon City has been re-imagined countless times, but how will Resident Evil 3 remake portray the doomed c

Apart from the Stagla gas station, some players also identified other easter eggs in the remake such as unique markings on the floor, and various posters that were featured in the original. One such poster promotes an upcoming performance of the Big E band, which players can find in one of the alleyways of the original game. These small details show just how dedicated Capcom is in revitalizing Raccoon City by making it bigger and more alive while making it feel familiar at the same t

After rumors of the RE4 remake made the rounds on Sunday, many fans were disappointed that Code Veronica wasn’t getting the nod instead. The outcry was so significant that Code: Veronica began trending on Twitter despite there being no recent rumors regarding a potential remake. Despite this Dreamcast classic being overshadowed by the hype and success of RE4 , the game still has its passionate fanbase. And these fans are very vo

The original Resident Evil 3 was extremely well received and is loved by many, but the Adventure Game Missions is notorious for how something as simple and seemingly vital as dodge rolling can be incredibly difficult . Many are struggling to figure out the dodge roll in the remake as well, but thankfully it is a bit more cut and dry this t

Considering that the most recent remake in the series is 2020’s Resident Evil 3 , it’d make sense that the following remake should be the next numbered title in the series. There’s no need to confuse casuals with a non-numerical cult classic, especially when they can dive into something easily recognizable with proven commercial and critical succ

Given that players will be exploring Raccoon City itself rather than just one building, the remake will be introducing some sort of a fast travel system for players to get around the city. It appears that Jill Valentine will be able to utilize the subway system to visit various areas of the city, and the subway will be serving as some sort of a hub connecting the game’s many locations. This feature is not present in the original 1999 title, although players were able to access a cable car. However, the cable car would only take them straight to the Clock Tower before it gets destroyed for g
