RE3R is such a rushed and flawed remake and I say this as somebody that actually still likes it for what it is, but it could have been soooo much better if they stuck to the Nemesis being an actual hunter for more of the game.

RE2R also, I loved it really wish there were true A/B scenarios.

Those games could easy sell another 2-3 million if they got director's cuts that fixed the issues.

Man a directors cut that sorts all of those issues would be awesome. Doubt its gonna happen maybe in 20 more years lol

 

[01011001]

Neither mine. But they called it remake making a reboot where cutted off practically most of the game areas just for 4 hours of walkthrough with a shitty online mode, fuck them. At least RE7 was longer.

REmake 3 has way more replayability imo, so the length really doesn't matter to me either. it's about how long the game can entertain me, and REmake 3 entertained me for 3 playthroughs, RE7 barely for 2/3 of the fiest playthrough

 

[TGO]

I liked both. I just wish RE3 had the full package

Can't argue with that

 

[SkylineRKR]

RE3R isn't as good as the original, but I'd wager the pacing is better. I beat it over 6 times and platted it. Never got bored with it. Nightmare difficulty mixes the enemy placements up, closes some doors etc. It managed to catch me off guard despite having beaten the game 3+ times already.

The final boss though, hes a joke on Normal but a pain on the higher difficulties.

 

[Synless]

I loved both the remakes despite the cut content *shrugs*

I beat the originals many times. I think they were on par with All the quality of life enhancements.

 

[DavidGzz]

I've never put 60+ hours into a RE before Remake 3. It's a blast to play through, especially with the unlocks.

agreed. i kind of prefer it being a little shorter. it made it fun to speed run later on. then they all the difficulties and infinite ammo weapons and it became this whole other action game that you can blast through in like 2 hours. same with re2. but something about 3 just made me want to keep replaying it and doing all the things.

The second one is just about as good, if not better than the original, because for anything it gets, it adds some things sufficient. The third one cuts a lot of content but does not add enough supplemental new material to make up for it, that's why it's disappointing.

IMO of course.

 

[sol_bad]

I just platinumed RE8 Village.
I think I'll pick up RE0-6 and play the rest of the games now. Already played and finished RE7 but still need to go trophy hunting.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

TBH the vignetting in the RE2/3 remakes is far worse than the CA.

Once you use mods to remove the vignetting in the PC versions, it makes a lot more of a difference to IQ and lighting IMO.

I came in to say this ...vignetting is brutal ..why havnt devs learned to give us options yet

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

There are spots where RE7 shows big flaws but I think overall it's a better effort than RE3R.

It's so much better of an effort. Key word is effort. A lot of effort went into that game and it was great for what it is, a reboot of Re. Re3 - ugh. Could been great but instead I feel ripped off. There's just so little content. Nemesis, what happened.

 

[NeonGhost]

So was that image real or fake has there been anyone else to replicate it

 

[FUBARx89]

What? The PS5 upgrade one? It's real. Just can't download it.

 

[Negotiator101]

Awesome. Hearing about these upgrades makes me so sad that Bloodborne has been forgotten.

Sony don't do free upgrades, unless there's any I'm forgetting?

 

[Killer8]

Hot take: I did not give a shit about the cut content. The pacing of the RE3 remake greatly benefited from being a shorter experience that didn't overstay its welcome. It's a tremendous action game. If you read about the making of RE3, it was always intended to just be a spin-off until Capcom execs stepped in at the last moment to slap a number 3 on the box. I think if you treat RE3 remake as the spin-off to RE2 remake - which it was always meant to be on PS1 - then it's absolutely fine. Playing the two remakes back to back makes it so evident how well they compliment each other. A lot of the cut content like Raccoon City Park and the Dead Factory was only created to pad the length of the original, because at the last moment of development Capcom felt the game may be too short. The remake just trimmed the fat that shouldn't have been there to begin with.

Code Veronica is the real Resident Evil 3, I think the change in name was rumoured to be Sony pushing for the game to be numbered and so Resident Evil Last Escape became RE3

And yet that cut content made the game better for having it, so losing it for the "remake" was a kick in the teeth and ruined it.

 

[NeonGhost]

So no more information about this ?

 

[01011001]

the remake is a completely different game... so you have no real evidence that the game would be better with the "cut content" which was never "cut content" in the first place... it was content not brought over to the new game, that is based on that older game.

 

[Arachnid]

Lol @ you jumping through hoops to justify them cutting content. It was a trash decision any way you slice it.

they didn't cut content of a game that never existed in this form.
maybe they simply thought it would throw off the pacing, maybe they thought it wouldn't work well with the gameplay of the remake... could be many reasons.

 

[Arachnid]

Whatever their reasoning, it was poor. If you remake a beloved game, put some effort into translating it instead of cutting out sections. The game was 4 hours long and still had awful pacing, which is a feat in and of itself.

 

[Neff]

R3make was good but unsatisfying compared to the original and failed to deliver on its potential imo. The absence of the park and the clock tower (two of the most atmospheric areas in the original) are glaring, and the city felt laughably small, not helped by the fact that Nemesis forgets to be Nemesis after leaving it. I wasn't keen on the way you're just teleported to locations as the story sees fit either, it diminishes the sense of journey and a connected setting. Shame, because I think it looks and plays better than RE2make does for the most part, but lacks its grandeur and wholeness. It could have been a classic.

I'd happily pay R3make's asking price again for a 'fixed' version.

you have no real evidence that the game would be better with the "cut content"

My evidence is that I wanted more.

 

[dDoc]

The more time passes the more I feel the Remake3 was a huge wasted opportunity.

A bigger city would have worked wonders instead of the claustrophobic area we got.

Nemesis was not utilised well at all.

The last boss is a joke and 1 hit kills you on higher difficulties.

Capcom really dropped the ball with this one. And for what - to include a useless barely played online mode?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Code Veronica is the real Resident Evil 3, I think the change in name was rumoured to be Sony pushing for the game to be numbered and so Resident Evil Last Escape became RE3

Capcom itself (also) wanted a numbered RE on Playstation for marketing reasons.

I don't know if CV was ever intended to be a proper RE3 either, the game was pretty much an outsourced project. According to Okamoto Capcom greenlit it as an apology for the Saturn RE2 debacle. And he also claimed the plan was to release numbered games on Playstation consoles and non-numbered on others.

Kamiya was working on the true Resident Evil 3 for PS2, but what happened was that Capcom decided to call Nemesis RE3, and Kamiya's project RE4. This latter project became Devil may Cry.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Where's that damn update !? Should be out soonnn

 

[TGO]

Both games are on offer on the Playstation store.
That ends in 2 hours

I already have both games on ps4 , i'm horny for the ps5 updates

 

[RPSleon]

Never played any. Do i need to play 1, and if so whats the best way?

Can i just jump in to 2?

 

[proandrad]

Go play RE4 right now.

Play the RE Remake first and then check out 4 because you’ll see where two legacy gameplay mechanics crossed paths.

Actually. You might just want to play them from 1-4 and then look at stuff like Code Veronica. You should see how Leon goes from Rookie cop to where he is in 4. I’d save Zero for later too and the Revelation games for sometime later too.

Resident Evil 1 remake has versions available on just about any modern platform, so you can get it on whichever platform is of your choice.

But I would recommend on PC if you have a PC built in the last 15 years, as you can mod some things into the PC version for a better experience you cant on consoles.

Namely, you can get a mod to AI enhance the backgrounds on PC, the conversion from game cube wasn't exactly stellar.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Awesome part about Resident Evil/Biohazard is how the characters age with the games. You feel like you’re growing alongside the characters with each game. Then you can check out of some of the timelines out there in the web for when everything took place.

 

[skneogaf]

Can't wait to replay these with ray tracing!

What? I don't feel like Redfield is 52, at all Chris & Leon both feel like they're in their late 20's going off their latest games.

One awesome little detail in MGS4
Metal Gear Solid 4 was released in 2008 while MGS was in 1999
MGS1 was set in 2005 while MGS4 was set in 2014.
When Snake actually returns to Shadow Moses it actually been 9 years for both Snake & the Player.
that brings such a powerful connection to both the player and Solid Snake.

Thanks. Ill go in order then!

 

[NeonGhost]

So no news today

 

[FUBARx89]

So no news today

It surely can't be long for RE3 at least if the upgrade to ps5 is showing to ownere of the ps4 version.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Man..today wouldve been the perfect time to drop these enhancements...bummer

 

[MikeM]

Man..today wouldve been the perfect time to drop these enhancements...bummer

I’m patiently waiting. Gonna be a happy trophy hunter going through these again.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I have re3 for series x but I'm kinda tempted to buy it for ps5 for 3d audio and dual sense...$16 bucks is a lot though just for those features. I have re2 on playstation so I'll have to see how big a deal those features are.

You know Xbox has 3d audio also

 

[FUBARx89]

And for dualsense too? I only own a ps5 and I don't notice a difference with haptics vs shockers.

I also turn off adaptive triggers on most games cause they're pretty annoying tbh. I wouldn't say either of them are a reason to buy a ps5 for RE.

 

[Justin9mm]

Awesome, I'll finally do the second run but with claire this time on re2

Me 2, I haven't done Claire yet either.

 

[NeonGhost]

come on Monday give us those updates

 

[Danjin44]

I have the physical version of RE2R, if I get the free upgrade does it gonna do the same thing as FFVIIR, trying re-download PS4 version every time I put disk in?

It was kind of annoying with FFVIIR Intergrade.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I wonder if RE7 will receive updated textures.

 

[Classicrockfan]

What kind of enhancements,ray tracing,better textures,etc?

 

[Esppiral]

When are these updates scheduled to be available?
