Capcom's attempts at comedy have always produced frightening results (God Hand, Shadow of the Damned) so....still scary.
And not just Capcom.
Sony has yet to put a pre-order page up for any game (as these assets were taken from PSN- the preorder page is coming. Soon.) with a release that far in advance; not counting a delayed game, like TLOU2.
This leads me to believe we're looking at 6-7 months at the latest.
Are we even sure this won't be a REmake style high-res update?
Is it even possible that a full-blown 3D remake for 3 would have been accomplished in such a short span? Was Capcom confident enough to have greenlit the project before RE2 release success to have them worked on simultaneously?

Yes. Capcom has no reason to go back to an engine they haven't used in almost 20 years.
I think Dusk Golem confirmed that before RE2 was even released.
This is probably being developed by a 3rd RE team internally. Plus, Dusk said the game has been in development for 3 years.
Yeah, nothing scary about it.
Have you silent hill'd before?
Ah ok. I was thinking in line with Onimusha though, which did get that treatment in 2019. (Admittedly different given its brand popularity comparative and willingness for risk next to a RE game)
Capcom would be shooting themselves in the foot if they just did a hi-res remaster for RE3 less than a year after releasing a remake as successful as RE2. They set the bar too high to deliver something different.
Fully agreed, I can't even fathom the internet reaction to a REmake-like reveal.
It's just before your 3-year comment, I was having trouble understanding how Capcom could push out something similar to RE2 in such a small window if it was green-lit purely in reaction to the success of RE2 earlier this year.
If rumours are true (and they probably are) this has been in development since around 2017.
Straight from the horse's mouth (that post is over a year old):
RE3 is my favorite in the series. I lack the words to express how excited I am.
I always forget that one isnt. It is a grasshopper game though. Mikami was responsible for that. And God Hand. And the weird humor in the RE and DC games.
So more a "mikami" issue than Capcom i suppose.
Great! I too am looking forward to this. I haven't played the game since its PS1 launch, so this is the first time in 20 years that I would re-experience it.
Glad to see the quote!
OK maybe not best but he's up there for me, probably number 2 after Wesker. I really enjoyed Alfred when I played CVX for the first time and felt the game's story got significantly weaker once he died.
I think I liked more the first time I played the game, the second I thought he was just weird and crazy, and not in a good way. But I was more disappointed with Alexia. The idea behind her was very cool but she just ends up being a monster you fight.
Considering the trend of past RE titles that's not realistic at all.
Those didn't get announced in December though. I mean I would be all for an early 2020 release (as posted earlier). I just don't really believe in that happening. But if it does: Awesome!

That's fair. I've yet to play CVX for a second time so I might feel the same, but I really like how insane and just different Alfred was. It felt very refreshing after some of the other more anime-ish villains. I totally agree about Alexia though, she was really disappointing given how built up she was.
I have a good prediction of when but I don't want to jinx it, I shall post if I'm correct if they give a date during the trailer.
Ramon Salazar or even Saddler was a better villain than Alfred.
I dont see RE3 launching in 2021 myself, Capcom has been great about doing announcements that come out within 12 months (or less) from their E3 etc. announcements, so yeah the latest I see the games launching is in time for the new consoles, but assuming they won't be cross gen, then probably September at the latest?
I'll accept Salazar but lol get the fuck out of here with Saddler. He's not even the best villain in RE4.
Man, CVX is uhh... If they remade it I would appreciate an overhaul of the game including the story. Alfred sucks and the anime tentacle appearing as soon as Alexia wakes up is just awful.
The only thing to like about C:V's story is its premise. Everything about its execution is a hot mess.
Hence why I think it deserves a remake the most after RE3 (and Dino Crisis).

Saddler really isn't the best villain. That just explains how awful Alfred as a villain was. Making the character insufferably annoying doesn't automatically make the villain redeemable.
I think CV was when RE went full on anime mode! Partially because of the villains like Alfred and Wesker.
But to say something good about him, I do like the scene where he dies in front of Alexia and she holds his body and sing. It was pretty cool.
Who's to say that Remake 2 and Remak3 weren't developed simultaneously?
kind of like some movies. Kill Bill and the Matrix come to mind.
The scene where he sees himself in the mirror is legit great.
Hmm, we probably won't see playable demo footage until Jump Festa on Dec 11-12. Reveal on the 10th and then extended gameplay 11-12 days later sounds like a video game marketing plan.

A while ago someone made an interesting thread on reddit talking about why CV should get a remake over RE3. Nonsense, obviously, but the analysis of the game was quite cool. They talked about how there was a comparison between Alfred and Alexia / Chris and Claire. And although I never saw it in the game, it would be an interesting subject to be explored in a potential remake.
The game has been in development by a different team than the REmake 2 team.
They aren't going back to static camera REmake style games, that era is done.
Not really, the dark humor in Shadow of the Damned as well as the 'stiff game-play' is a staple of Suda51. Mikami was merely just a producer in that game. You want Mikami see Vanquish and The Evil Within.
Unless it's a beginning hour type deal, but I doubt it would be.
