Fuck yea, I love shooting exploding barrels in games and with the insane gore in REMake 2, that'd be wild.
They should steal that Evil Within match mechanic since TEW2 dropped it anyway.
I wouldn't expect it. Maybe some canned destruction like in RE7 and DMCV, I don't remember any of that being in RE2.
Lol, i found that on reddit. Seems like they told us about RE3 years ago.
This makes me wonder when Capcom decided that they would remake RE3 as well. Was it right and that moment or was it later?
we're all HOPING it's tomorrow.
However if there's nothing tomorrow .. a lot of us are gonna flip our lids lol
Lol that's a funny Photoshop. Now give me another sticky note that says "We Dino it". 😭Lol, i found that on reddit. Seems like they told us about RE3 years ago.
Like half a year after the RE2 video. RE3 was greenlit and started development a few months after RE7 came out in 2017, but it was in the talks and planning during 2016 while RE7 was still being worked on. RE3's original director (who's currently a freelancer) was invited to direct the project but ended up declining, but I'm aware people at Capcom and him met multiple times and the direction for the RE3 Remake was talked about before it was greenlit, they only greenlit it when they had picked a direction to go with it and it was ready to start development. The title was conceived partially because RE2 REmake was happening, and that would leave RE3 as the only mainline RE game without an easily portable version for future-proofing (while they don't do much with it, Code Veronica does have an MT Frameworks version), plus developing both around the same frame of time had more benefits than if they chose to remake RE3 down the line. Many exaggerate how much of RE2 is in RE3, but if they're going to reimagine Raccoon City doing both around the same time helps.
If anyone's a bit curious about what RE3 tomorrow will look like, something I'll mention is that the talks about direction did decide on a more in-depth Raccoon City. And you will be seeing a few concoctions and mixtures of elements at play here. REmake 2 didn't pull much from RE1.5 (though it did reference some concept art for RE2), but REmake 3 pulls more from both of it's original concepts that weren't made, and even elements that were present in Umbrella Chronicles (and in extension due to this, some things from Outbreak). I don't know what bits the trailer shows tomorrow, but I will say right now the RE3 REmake is more experimental than RE2's and they're taking more of the whole of what RE3 worked with over the years, partially at the choice of the original director. Kamiya never really liked 1.5 and wanted the new team to do their own thing, and Aoyama originally wanted RE3 to be a different more open game but thinks in the process of remaking they should both build off what people loved and expand. And the teams kinda' followed that while also doing their own takes on things of course.
So kinda' get ready for that.
Hello Dusk, do you have any info about release date? Your expectations?
I don't know anything about what the marketing firm or the higher-ups choose, most of what I heard are development stuff. Which is fine by me, I find that stuff more interesting than stuff that'll be publicly made available later anyways (though RE2 had more development talks and videos than usual, so maybe RE3 will follow suite?). Like the stuff i'm saying is stuff I've known for a while, if I was okay with leaking it then (which I wasn't for various reasons) I could've said what I just said right now a year ago as I knew it then as well. The recent decisions from the publishing side of Capcom, like when trailers drop or when the game releases, is beyond me.
Yeah.... I think RE3R will easily be the perfect and best RE game ever made, taking full advantage of Raccoon City and Nemesis plus the little tweaks toward more action vibes like the original RE3 would totally guarantee that spot for it.
I hope for a release date no more further than June.
Super interesting! Thanks for the info as always. Would it be safe to assume that tonally the games share some DNA? Seems like Capcom is going for a more horror focus with the Remakes, at least based off of Resident Evil 2 which had a bunch of action but you could tell horror was a main focus.
So it's more of a loose Remake then a straight Remake ? Do you know if it's still narrative-focused ?
I'm curious about this and not sure if you can answer, but does this mean the original releases would be difficult to port? Is that the reason there hasn't been a classic trilogy release when Capcom otherwise seems very on board with that for other past releases? Does this also mean that one would be unlikely? I'd have thought that'd be relatively easy and cheap to do but I know exactly nothing about game development lol
It'd be a little disappointing since I don't feel like these remakes obsolete the originals and I assume I'm far from alone in that? But at least emulation is really easy these days.
In any case those RE3 details do sound interesting and I'm excited for tomorrow
I think the general consensus is that they are different timelines, so the original games all the way through 7 are on one timeline but the developers stated that they view Resident Evil 2's remake as less of a formal remake and more of a re-imagining that places it in its own universe. Not to dive too deep down that rabbit hole
Didn't Capcom say that RE2 remake replaced RE2 as canon?
Hmmm, that does sound familiar, too. It's possible that I just made the separate timelines thing head cannon haha. Someone else might be able to give a better answer than me
Different games are different things.
RE1 is haunted house type horror.
RE2 is zombie apocalypse horror.
RE3 is a slasher type horror.
SH is psychological horror.
Action is part of all of them.
Jill certainly doesn't sound as bad as she did in RE1 at least. Although, it does help that the script isn't nearly as trash as that game.
Barry: "Jill, you're here too!?"
Jill: "Barry, you're here too!?"
Jill: "Barry, you're so optimistic." (insert ohyou.jpg here)
The best VA from that period was definitely Claire's, though. There's a reason she came back for Code Veronica.
Thanks for sharing! Always like reading your insight.
Thanks for the info Dusk Golem. I'm both incredibly nervous and incredibly excited for tomorrow. Expanding on the city parts of the game is exactly what I want and it going for that is incredibly exciting, but the experimental side of it does leave me nervous. Not long now.
Oh yeah, Jill sound better in RE3 then in RE1 but that's not really an high praise. But at least, RE1 dub is so bad it's good. RE3 Jill is bad but not enough to make it entertaining.
I wasn't even aware 3 had original concepts that weren't made. Interesting. I'm also curious as to what they could pull from Umbrella Chronicles, it has been a while since I played it but nothing was particularly striking about it.
Thanks. That's great to know. I just need to know it' singleplayer and I'll be in heaven.
Don't worry man I'm still incredibly hyped, just having some last minute thoughts before the big reveal! I'll still be going all in on this game no matter how it turns out.
We literally no nothing except what Jill, Carlos and Nemesis look like. It's pretty likely it'll be like RE2r though.
Literally all we have is two pictures of this game, I don't see why it wouldn't tho.
Yeah. Dusk Golem is making me THIRSTY.
Best RE should warrant the best remake.
I think he means the subway that's in it, which is also supposed to be in the remake.
If someone wants to knwo about early ideas for RE3, I highly recommend reading this interview (scroll down for the english translation):
