Resident Evil 3 – The Remake in the Test
We write the year 1999. It is the year of the first contact. A präpubertärer 14-Year-old (I) will meet for the first Time a Gaming Genre, which will not let go of him all his life. He lay under the Christmas tree, the title that the young should show how well the Gamble the feelings of fear and Terror feel: Resident Evil 3. Now, 21 years later, celebrating the Game with a Remake of his Comeback. The Original stand at the time, in the oversized shadow of his direct predecessor, and was able to shudder with its increased share of Action less than this. The new interpretation creates what the template is denied, stayed, or history repeats itself?
Jill Vallentine, a former member of the S. T. A. R. S (Special Tactics and Rescue Service), is clearly drawn from the events from Resident Evil 1. Your use of force was in an old mansion acquaintance with the T-Virus. The Virus is part of the bio-weapons research of the ruthless group’s Umbrella. The goal is to inject the synthetic pathogens, human subjects, and to transform this by induced mutations in docile fighting machines. Somehow, the agent managed to do it in the small town of Racoon City and it was a disaster. Rapidly infected the inhabitants of the city, what are the shuffle now as the walking Dead through the streets for human flesh yaw. This would not flee for Jill reason enough to give your Umbrella a personal Surprise. The clever police officer stabbed in their investigations to deep into the wasps nest, therefore, the group sends her his latest creation to the jaw: project Nemesis!
Staaaaaaaaarrrsss!
Since he is back: Nemesis, icon of my youth, and absolute favorite monster of the series! As last year, Resident Evil 2 with its Remake of the brilliant return succeeded, it was not long until the first Call to a Remake of the – not uncontroversial – the third part, according to have been. Controversial Jill Valentines escape from Racoon City was because the Action was screwed for the first Time in the series, so any Survivor-Horror elements, such as a lack of ammunition, in the Background occurred, and the Horror remained a part of the way on the track. At that time I had no comparison values and celebrated Resident Evil 3 like a rock star. Today, the Situation is different and I can now relate to that part, as it is the Fans it needs to be.
Even more than in its predecessor from 2019 is Resident Evil 3 is less a Remake than a reinterpretation of the classic. So large parts of the Story were re-written: Jill now has a credible reason more why she is still in the city, Nemesis is differently introduced, and Carlos is expanded, and assumes as a game character a larger Part in the plot. Since Resident Evil 3 , just a few hours before Leon’s and Clair’s adventure or also in parallel play, there are now in the present Form, and more references to this, as it is still in the template was the case. So we Visit, for example, well-known locations and learn why we have certain elements to find, as we did in Resident Evil 2 do. A narrative it is a nice Gimmick, the homogeneous has been woven into the plot and in the rarest of cases, come across as phony.
Also visually, the characters in General were subjected to revision. Jill is no longer running around in Tank Top and mini skirt by the zombie hordes. Your new Look is instead natural, as a result, as a figure credible, because it is not reduced only to their feminine charms. Carlos with his fuzzy hair is very likeable and tangible. About the Design of the Nemesis was discussed in the run-up to a lot of. Fans were upset with the new nose of the monosyllabic giant. I personally found the Look from the beginning is very cool and also its later forms, which differ considerably from those of the original, could inspire me consistently.
Escape from Racoon City
In terms of Gameplay, the Remake of Resident Evil 3 similar ways as Leon Kennedy’s Horror-Trip from 2019. We follow the character from the shoulder perspective through the redesigned Scenes from the template. As a result, a high results in recognition of value and is likely to conjure veterans of the series, a Smile on your face. What is the Setting relates is Resident Evil 3 to be very varied. We explore Racoon City, the sewers and the usual laboratory facilities may not be missing. The different locations offer a variety of secrets, there are countless doors that open only after the receipt of specific items to open, but Resident Evil 3 is far behind the Remake of part 2 from 2019 back. This is especially in the case of the puzzles felt. While Resident Evil 2 is still some hard nuts to crack had to offer, there are only two to three rudimentary switch puzzles. What the developers have in mind I don’t know, because in my eyes you are sacrificing one of the great Strengths of the classic series.
Also a different thickness over large parts on the track: the Horror! Was the appearance of the Nemesis in 1999, already pumped full of Action, which is the Foundation for the reorientation from Resident Evil 4 put, rises the new Version of Jill’s escape from raccoon City and more than worthy of following in the footsteps of the original. A fact that makes itself at various points are noticeable: there are now tons of, want to be shot at, and exploded at all the zombie herds can destroy with a single blow. Something like ammo is poverty, there is not, you can always find enough of it, or to craft sufficient resources to self-balls. As a result, the undead have mutated to sponges now final Ball.
Is the return of the Nemesis by its focus on Action now a bad Resident Evil has become? No, absolutely not! Because game dynamics and Flair of Resident Evil 3 are much closer to part 4, 5 and 6. That’s good news. Even if I occasionally the Horror miss, developed in the course of the Games enormous pressure, because Nemesis is a relentless hunter. The confrontation with Umbrella’s newest creation-intensive and require tactics. Who creates it, to force the killer machine in the knee, you will be rewarded with Upgrades for the weapon. Each appearance of Nemesis is a Highlight, and I had to thanks to the cold lack of mercy, my opponent not only once at the Terminator think. I can say with absolute certainty: Nemesis was anno 1999, a cool sock, today it is even more important!
Technically not a walking corpse
Technically, Resident Evil 3 a clean title. Capcom conjures up its own RE Engine, a great atmosphere. Light and shadow play, great animated characters, in part-but very fast-paced camera movements – and I had on my PS4 Pro still solid 60 frames a second The directing is really good and the balancing act as an Action Game with a touch of Horror to succeed most of the time quite well. The only downside is the short playing time. For the first pass, I needed seven hours for the second, after I had to fight with the right tactics at the boss, only four. Is with a view to the rather short base material, not a weakness, but there could be more inside be.
What the Sound relates to power Resident Evil 3 everything right. The Zombies and Nemesis sound absolutely menacing and the restless soundscape, coupled with the driving Score, a to the mountains occasionally, the hair stand.
Not quite so successful, I found the control. The aim is quite spongy, which was also in Resident Evil 2 , but because it made sense. Firstly, because the focus was so much on Action, and on the other, because Leon and Claire are Protecting anything other than many years. In the case of Jill and Carlos that makes less sense, is yet to be experienced professionals. In theory, Jill is also able to attacks enemies with a pike jump to Dodge, but unfortunately, does not work in the least situations, as there is no indication of when the ideal time for a jump would be.
CONCLUSION
As it is, the story seems to be repeated again! The Remake to Resident Evil 3 is by far not a bad representative of his series, but again in the oversized shadow of his direct predecessor. Nemesis return a piece of far from the Horror roots of the series and sets a new focus in the direction of the Action. In this regard, it remains its original faithfully, because this put the path to the realignment of the series with Resident Evil 4. What is the Story and the staging is concerned, is Resident Evil 3 is more of a reinterpretation for the Remake, and is, even more than Resident Evil 2 in the previous year, in its own way. Even if Horror plays a rather subordinate role, the intense confrontations with Nemesis a good dose of Terror and pumps are regularly adrenaline into the bloodstream. Unfortunately, the device Resident Evil 3 , with its just under seven hours of play time a bit short, they have me as a Fan of the series, very great fun.
