Where are all these news and trailers about so many different games coming from currently?

Playstation just held its State of Play, which is kind of like a Nintendo Direct.

 

[kunonabi]

OMG! when you have to escape from Nemesis, the camera is switched to first person view

I think that was just a reworked version of the opening.

Is this actually confirmed? I assumed it was just for the trailer?

 

[newtypepilot]

not a fan of the new look Jill.


BRING BACK THE TUBE TOP!!

 

[Barnabot]

Something about this game is preventing me to pre-order. No one had clarified how Nemesis is gonna play in this game. Hope it's not the "same exact thing but now with guns" as Mr. X did in RE2 R.

 

[ESPOMAN]

I wish they would do a fixed camera game...I know how unlikely that is and not as many people would buy it but I would like to see how good the backgrounds would like with today's technology.

 

[pawel86ck]

I wasnt expecting trailer so fast, but I like surprises. Graphics looks better, especially character models, so maybe trailer shows PC version (or possibly xbox4/ps5 verion).

Plot hole? What’s the plot hole there

Resident Evil 3 Makes A Return Trip to Raccoon City April 3rd, 2020

STARRRRRSSSSSS...

blog.us.playstation.com

Just announced via State of Play, Resident Evil 3 is coming to PS4 on April 3rd, 2020! Survival horror fans need no introduction to this true PlayStation classic, and for those who have never seen Jill Valentine’s desperate escape from Raccoon City but played Resident Evil 2 earlier this year, you’re in for one terrifying treat. If you thought RE2’s Tyrant was frightening, you’re in for a whole new kind of fear when the relentless Nemesis drops in with only one mission: to ensure Jill Valentine never sees daylight again.

September 28th, Daylight

Taking place a few months after the original Resident Evil ends, Resident Evil 3 takes place both before and after the events of Resident Evil 2. While Leon and Claire’s stories occur after the city has already been infected for some time, Jill’s story provides a new perspective. Starting with the early days of the outbreak, you’ll follow Jill’s fight for survival as the population of the once-lively metropolis turns into hordes of undead.

Despite providing a thorough report on the Umbrella Corporation and the incident at the Arklay Mansion a few months prior, Jill’s investigation has largely been swept under the rug. Even though she’s been suspended from the police force, Jill is still on a mission to bring the truth to light. To do that, however, she first has to escape with her life and her investigation in tow. Setting out to put the wreckage of the city behind her once and for all, Jill runs headlong into one giant problem that all of her training and her harrowing experiences in the Arklay Mountains couldn’t prepare her for…


An Ordinary Day in Raccoon City

Nemesis. Those of you who have played the original Resident Evil 3 remember this monstrosity on a mission, and Jill is the last-standing fixation of its relentless pursuit. A variation of the Bio Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) series that the infamous Tyrant (who you may know as “Mr. X”) hails from, Nemesis has one purpose, and one purpose only. It exists to prevent the truth of Umbrella’s experiments from getting out, by exterminating any traces of the S.T.A.R.S. team.

Further complicating things is that Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.), Umbrella’s private military force, has been dispatched into the city to rescue any remaining civilians – at least, that’s their purpose according to one of its members, Carlos Oliveira. Between Jill and Carlos, you’ll get a new perspective of the doomed city and revisit iconic locales that were first featured in Resident Evil 2. You’ll need to keep your wits about you, though; the shambling hordes of the undead aren’t the only things out to get you. You never know when you might hear that iconic, low rumble…

“STARRRRRRSSSSS….”



A City Controlled by Umbrella

A big part of the original Resident Evil 3 was the introduction of a constant pursuer in Nemesis. You could never be quite sure where he’d pop up next, and if you did encounter him, you had another problem on your hands: He could follow you from one area to the next. Sounds just like a certain fedora-wearing, boot-stomping creature from earlier this year, doesn’t it? Nemesis, as something of an “upgrade” to the line of Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) that Tyrant hails from, was also a bit more intelligent and capable using weapons – even those who haven’t played the original game likely know he’s fond of rocket launchers.

Alongside Nemesis, the original Resident Evil 3 introduced a number of new features, including a unique dodge mechanic that, with just the right timing, could let you get out of the way of nearly any attack, and cutting-edge polygonal graphics mixed with fixed camera angles to create a sense of dread. You never knew what was around the next corner, just a camera cut away.

Of course, bringing a classic game into the present day means improved tech and modern flourishes. Resident Evil 3 follows its predecessor by swinging the camera over Jill’s shoulder to put you dead-center in the horror that’s unfolding all around, while cutting-edge photogrammetry is used to scan in actors and create true-to-life performances – that includes scanning in real people for the zombies, too! The undead certainly never looked so life-like. Just like with Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7 biohazard before it, you can expect heightened horror and plenty of terrifying encounters among the city streets.



Last Escape

Also included with Resident Evil 3 is Resident Evil Resistance, a 4v1 asymmetrical, co-op multiplayer game set in the Resident Evil universe. Previously revealed as the working title Project Resistance, this unique game pits four kidnapped Survivors against a single Mastermind in a deadly experiment. As part of today’s reveal, we’ve also lifted the veil on two new Survivors: Becca, a local Park Ranger and skilled markswoman, and Martin, a mechanic who’s got a knack for machines and technology. They’ll be joining Samuel, January, Valerie, and Tyrone in their bid to escape from the clutches of Annette Birkin, one of multiple Masterminds with an array of traps and monsters at their disposal. You may have seen Daniel Fabron and his ability to control the Tyrant during the open beta for Project Resistance, but Annette has a different monster to unleash – William Birkin, mutated by the G-Virus.

Keep an eye out for more info on Resident Evil Resistance in the coming months!

[dolabla]

Holy shit, I can't believe it's happening this fast. Super pumped for this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

So the trailer suggests that players will be able to switch between fpp and tpp? I wonder if this means they're also planning a VR mode.

Anyway it's going to be a day 1 purchase for me. Hopefully two weeks will be enough to complete it before Cyberpunk launches.

 

[kunonabi]

Is that the dodge thing I see in the beginning or just sprinting

Just looks like sprinting but that's assuming the dodge is going to resemble the old one which we cant be sure of.

In this video they state 3rd person only unfortunately:



Though I'm sure a first mod will pop up shortly after launch like there was with RE2.

We always have special customes

 

[Geki-D]

Plot hole? What’s the plot hole there

Jill arrives at the station a good 24 hours before Leon & Claire yet Marv is already dead and loads of things are different (doors boarded up, the statue puzzle moved, Nemesis causes damage that isn't in RE2...)

This is exactly what I want to see from this game; it takes place during the outbreak so there should be survivors all over the place. In RE2 remake we're told that the station had people hiding out in it and it was still swarming with cops. Normally, if this game is consistent, Jill should arrive at the station when it's still full of survivors.

 

[xPikYx]

Why this is not a next-gen project? Whyyyyyyyy?

 

[Mochilador]

I know some people that will go reee after seeing the classic outfit.

It's a bit lazy but I'm okay with this. The zombies were fine in RE2 and there were a lot of different types. I assume there will be some new ones in this too but remaking every zombie just for the sake of being different when the game uses the same engine and is set in the same location as RE2 seems like a massive waste of dev time to me.

 

[GHG]

Why this is not a next-gen project? Whyyyyyyyy?

So they can port it and sell it again when next gen consoles arrive. Duh.

Side note, I hope this means RE4 is up for the makeover treatment next.

The quick turn around and the reused assets are making think this is a fairly low budget affair especially with Resistance being rolled into it.

Thanks for the video. I'm not disappointed personally, I prefer tpp camera in RE games. The trailer seemed misleading though, a buddy of mine got the same impression from watching it.

 

[xPikYx]

RE4 remake would be good, even though the game doesn't really need a modern makeup like the old ones, those were really simple and childish

 

[dolabla]

They should actually make the the beta version of RE4. Would be something different.

 

[SuperGooey]

Hmm.

I'm pretty disappointed by the trailer. Nothing really caught my eye except for how awkward the character models look when moving. I'll have to wait to see gameplay footage.

Resident Evil 3 sees daylight on April 3rd, 2020

<p>Just announced moments ago at PlayStation’s State of Play, Resident Evil 3 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam on April 3 rd , 2020! Read on for more about this re-imagining of the survival horror classic, including info on a special Collector’s Edition that fans won’t want to...

Where is the special edition capcom?
I want my steelbook case

 

[Roni]

The quick turn around and the reused assets are making think this is a fairly low budget affair especially with Resistance being rolled into it.

This IS a fairly low budget project. This is how Capcom is operating now: small, niche games budgeted properly and targeted at audiences that want it. Gone are the days they were trying to turn Resident Evil into Call of Duty.

I'm all for this. RE2, DMC5 and this wouldn't have happened if not for that.

 

[spartan30gr]

OMG! when you have to escape from Nemesis, the camera is switched to first person view

Nope

Its a complete third person game
This is just a cutcene

 

[OutrageousFacts]

Why this is not a next-gen project? Whyyyyyyyy?

Don't worry, you'll get to buy it twice when the nextgen port comes. Then thrice when capcpom starts porting re7, 2 and 3 to Switch 2.

 

[DemoCracy]

I think that was just a reworked version of the opening.

Is this actually confirmed? I assumed it was just for the trailer?

it's not confirmed until now, but I guess it
Escaping from Nemesis in first person perspective is very horrible

 

[kunonabi]

RE4 remake would be good, even though the game doesn't really need a modern makeup like the old ones, those were really simple and childish

CV could use a remake the most since it was easily the worst classic RE. They already fixed Claire so if they just do the same for the rest of the cast and overhaul the story it could work. A lot of the gameplay was more suited to more modern conventions anyway and the improved visuals would help a bunch of the monster designs too.

Nope because I'll buy it on pc anyway

In RE2 remake we're told that the station had people hiding out in it and it was still swarming with cops. Normally, if this game is consistent, Jill should arrive at the station when it's still full of survivors.

When Jill first sees him, he wasn't dead yet, as there's no blood pool underneath him. He was only unconscious, although mortally wounded. Later when Jill back tracks to the same room, Marvin is no longer there.

 

[Pidull]

Its in 3rd person...

Excuse my ADD and thanks for the clarification.

 

[Dane]

Is that the dodge thing I see in the beginning or just sprinting

The original RE3 had it.

 

[Pyramid Song]

Beautiful !! I love Resident Evil 3, It's my favorite by far. "New" Jill looks awesome

 

[Aggelos]

The revealed footage doesn't include this moment...

So? Extended trailer at the Game Awards perhaps?

 

[Doom85]

A remake of 4 feels unnecessary to me, but 0 and Code Veronica would benefit massively from one. Rebecca and Billy in 0 were fun characters to follow and I love the opening train area, but then the training facility is okay but just a weaker version of the RE1 mansion, and then the labs section just sucks. Not to mention the lame antagonist, plus the partner switching often being tedious, yeah a remake fixing all this would be awesome. Code Veronica is the only one of the main story games I've not played, but since virtually every RE fan I know generally says it's decent but a major step down from 1-3 I figure a remake would do it good as well.

 

[Moses85]

Looks good. Hope they fix the RDP plot hole that was in the original.

That CE seems to have less than the RE2 one and it's pretty much the same price. The Art book at least looks better, the one with RE2 was shameful; quality was barely legible and it had duplicate pages, also the thing was tiny. No mention of classic OST DLC either with the CE, hum.


This zombie model is straight out of RE2. To be expected, I guess.

Thought exactly the same! I knew him from the first RE2 Trailer.

I am not happy with Nemesis look.

Can’t understand why they changed his look so drastically.

 

[GymWolf]

Jill face is kinda meh.

 

[Moses85]

They should actually make the the beta version of RE4. Would be something different.

You nailed it! Remake of RE4 (Original Story) doesn’t fit into the Remake Styles of RE2 and RE3. Code Veronica or Dino Crisis !!

 

[Lionel Richie]

Fuck YES that looks outrageously awesome. CapGODS just keep delivering the goods.

 

[Doom85]

Jill face is kinda meh.

Well, I personally would still gladly get a taste of this Jill Sandwich.

 

[Manus]

Thank God for classic Jill costume.

Best Jill design.
