its worse than original one

koko_19881512d ago

Its very short,plus some content is missing from the original game,that's why review scores are so divided. Nemesis is my second favorite in the series after 4.

philm871512d ago

Gonna give this a miss after playing the demo. Loved the RE2 remake. Never played the original RE3, but find the Nemesis more frustrating than fun.

BigTrain1511d ago

Completely agree. I called myself running from him he caught up in 2 seconds. I exit the area, he burst into the next area from the sky out of nowhere, I run out of that area, he does the same thing. I stand my ground and unload my shotgun shells into him and he never flinched. I'm like, ok can't run, can't exit, can't dodge, can't kill this bastard, what can I do?!! Never mind, onto something else.

dreamed1512d ago

Seen reviews complaining about nemesis being scripted....show me one encounter with him on the original that isn’t scripted....makes me wonder if half the reviewers even played the original?

CrimsonWing691512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

In the original doesn’t he sort of come out at different times like he’s on a timer?

I think the critics are wanting more of him being on a timer rather that him being a “set piece” sequence. I’ve already watched an entire playthrough of the game and I wasn’t bothered by how they handled him. However, he isn’t like Mr. X where he just constantly searches for you throughout most of the game.

I do think the critics are being re*arded with their low scores due to this and the length. That’s all the complaints i see in the negative reviews.

NapalmSanctuary1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

In the original he's totally scripted as well but it depends on where you go and what you do first that determines the script that runs.

DonDon30001512d ago

Doesn't matter if he was scripted in the original, the point still stands: people found him frustrating in this version. End point.

BigTrain1511d ago

Far too frustrating. I had to go watch a video to see if the demo could actually be completed cause what I was doing was not working, heh.

wwinterj1512d ago

Reminds me of those who say this remake is short as a negative when the original was short too.

NapalmSanctuary1512d ago

So what if the original is short. Many games back in the 90's were short. They changed almost everything in this version, yet the game length was the thing to retain from the original? That's just asinine.

Ultima661512d ago

You know,its not only the original to compare to.Nemesis overall design is steps back from resi2R tyrant.The reviews should reflect that as well.

I'm about to find out, as my copy has just arrived by post. I'm in the UK and ordered it from Shopto. With all the awful stuff going on at the moment and hearing that postal delivery copies for this title may be delayed, it was a welcome surprise to see it arrive a day early. Huge thank-you to our brave postal service for still managing to provide a service under extreme circumstances.

Hungryalpaca1512d ago

I’m not ok with spending nearly $100 for half a game.

DerekFlint0071512d ago

If that's US dollars you are referring to, I got it for approximately $49. UK price from Shopto was 39 pounds. My initial impressions of the game so far, is that the HDR implementation is a real wow standout.

As I'm currently stuck in the house at the moment and am lucky enough to be able to work from home, the price of the game is negligible to me, as I'm saving an absolute fortune, due to the bars & restaurants being closed.

I do appreciate though, what you are saying, and it is disappointing that the game, according to the critics seems a little on the short side. However, it may provide the perfect antidote for me, as I'm currently struggling to finish the endlessly repetitive Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Lego games are always fun... and that is one I had not played before.

isarai71d ago

It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus

Kyizen71d ago

I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.

StormSnooper70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.

jznrpg71d ago

Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.

phoenixwing71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely

DarXyde70d ago

Definitely give Midnight Suns a download if you've got Plus.

It's great.

phoenixwing61d ago

I agree midnight sun's is fun

Eonjay71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.

LucasRuinedChildhood71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.

I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.

Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

SonyStyled71d ago

The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog

LucasRuinedChildhood71d ago

I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).

Resident Evil 3 Remake is one of the best RE games, actually

Resident Evil 3 Remake is one of the most debated games in Capcom’s survival horror series, but it’s just as good as the remake of Resident Evil and 2019’s RE2.

It’s a good game, but a terrible Remake.

I would choose the original over this Remake any day of the week. More areas, more enemies, more bosses, choice options, better unlockables, and I could go on and on.

If you go into this Remake as it’s own game and not compare it to what it’s, uh, Remaking, then yea it’s a solid game.

But I do not consider the Remake portion of this game to be “good,” like at all.

seanpitt23244d ago

The remake was inferior to RE2R in everyway capcom even said the B team made it the physics was so dumbed down it was such a big disappointment the A team that made RE2 was busy making RE4R

Walalon244d ago

And the whole idea of Nemesis "looking for you" was ripped off entirely making this Remake more than a knock off lol

solideagle244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

Didn't Capcom themselves
say the same thing that they will improve Quality and make Remake Lengthy or something along the same lines because RE3R was not received as good as RE2R critically

-Foxtrot244d ago

Not only that they literally snatched the RE4 off them and restarted development within the main team. That’s how bad the fallout was.

They tried to be cheap and it blew up in their face

It makes me super sad to think of how amazing RE3 could have been

We could have had hubs within the city to explore, to fully experience the Raccoon City downfall in all its glory…but they rushed it.

SyntheticForm244d ago

That boss fight on Inferno. Absolutely no.

GoodGuy09245d ago

Sure it was scripted quite a bit but I enjoyed it. Really good replayability as well.

Dandizzle244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

When I look back at re2 re4 and re4 remakes to which I beat all of them at launch. Re3 is the one I recall having more fun more of the time. Re2 and re4 get over stressful on harder difficulties.

Re4 remake was also great, but I liked re3 remake better

NovusTerminus245d ago

I can't comment on the "remake" aspect as I never played 3, didn't like tank controls even back then.

But as far as the remake goes as a game, I've got like 40 hours in it and played it far more then the 2 remake. I absolutely enjoyed the combat engine and dodge mechanic.

nommers244d ago

I gotta agree with the replay value of the game. Despite the cut areas it still feels like you’re going through more areas than RE2 remake. That and the Nemesis isn’t as annoying as the Tyrant.

BlackTar187244d ago

lol you can beat the game in under 3 hours on your first thorough and under 45 mins on your second without even trying to rush. The game has less content then some demos.

nommers244d ago

@BlackTar187

Don’t exaggerate so hard. You’ll live longer.

BlackTar187244d ago

If you look up playtime you can see most people beat it between 3-5 hours on the first playthrough and the trophy for sprinter which is beat the game in under 2 hours is a high percentage trophy compared to any other speed run trophies. So no I won’t change what I said. I’d wager with the infinite rpg you could get that even lower then 45 mins. My actual save says 57 mins

nommers244d ago

@BlackTar187

You can beat a lot of games in under 3 hours as a speed runner. Who cares.

Average time play through says about 6 hours, but for full completion it says 20 1/2 hours. First time through for me I took my time and took about 8 hours. Then again I’m not trying to race through the game. That’s about the same time for RE2 remake for a first time through, which even with multiple paths doesn’t have much extra content outside any given run.

4 was great... but missed some things. But still, the RE remakes have been some of the best remakes.

anast271d ago

2 was good, but 3 and 4 were phoned in. I suppose 1 out 3 successes is the new standard. This is why publishers get away with so much.

Babadook7263d ago

All were good. None were phoned in.

Resident evil 3 remake NEED another good quality remake
