What It Will Take For Capcom To Remake Resident Evil 3

During an interview between GameWatch and the producer behind the Resident Evil 2 remake, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the dev confirmed why Capcom had chosen to reimagine that particular entry in the series. Additionally, Hirabayashi also confirmed it was possible for Resident Evil 3 to get the same treatment. As it turns out, Resident Evil 2 was remade because fans had requested to see a retelling of that game, and the same could happen with Resident Evil 3 - if enough consumers demand it.

i m playing RE 2 remake now....while the direction that followed this time(3rd person , survival horror -slow shooting action, counting heavily in atmosphere) was the proper one ...the game was needing more production behind it ....it has a lot of rough edges ...especially in visuals and it is very obvious that Capcom rushed it out to counter RE7 disaster.....they should have moved all the production to RE2 remake rather than developping the RE 7abomination

[pietro1212]

Counter the RE7 disaster? It was positively accepted both sales and reception wise. Also the game looks great. Btw the remake was in development for four years... no where close to being a rush job.

[bouzebbal]

that game was great, and had everything, from puzzling to some action and variety of weapons etc.. and was scary as f***, especially in VR OMG

[wocexo]

Albertsons Cos. fired Zelda Bowen in Ann Arbor but Zelda now earnes 19390 working with Monsanto from home. you can try this out>>>>>>> ;>>>> . http://www.Key70.com

[TheGamingArt]

RE7 disaster? That was one of the best selling and highly acclaimed REs in a long time. RE 2 is amazing in its remastered form!

[ButchKween]

Get a grip naruga. Your fanboy immaturity is showing. Re7 sold almost 6 million and was very profitable due to the lower production cost. Google it. It was critically praised. RE2 is excellent. Just because they don't do things your way doesn't mean they are a disaster. Girl bye. 🙄

[DaDrunkenJester]

You're right, they should have went more RE6 and last half of RE5 and just jumped full boat into button mashing action game

[Sirk7x]

The visuals? This has some of the best environment and enemy graphics I've ever seen. Game isn't sitting at over 90 for nothing. Capcom killed it with this one.

[NarutoFox]

Are you kidding me lol. This gotta be a joke. This comment should remind people to never do drugs.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

The visuals need work? What do you have your console hooked up to a potato?

[SixFragz]

Where was the RE7 disaster

[nucky64]

naruga, i've finished my first 2 playthroughs - it's a wonderful game - no issues here. i have no clue what you're talking about?

[stanr]

What game have you played? RE7 was a hit and is the measuring stick for all VR games to follow.

[Thundercat77]

RE7 was a huge hit that revived the series once again. Get out of here.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Leave you fantasy world bro and join all of us in reality it would be healthier for you

[notachance]

*facepalm emote*

anyway, this, Monster Hunter World, and soon DMC 5.. man, Capcom sure is stepping up their game.

[Sirk7x]

Agreed! I'm happy that they finally mostly pulled their heads out of their asses lol. They're doing well by their IP right now, and that's great. Also, Mega Man 11 was good too! Smaller title, but the best Mega Man game there's been in years.

[Gatsu]

You cant be serious.

[Wha_gwaan]

You have got to be a troll or a fucking idiot. Something tells me it's both.

[bouzebbal]

OMG what did i just read??
this guy is never happy i really hope you aren't like this in real life

[CorndogBurglar]

Oh god....here we go.

Dude, I figured you were a troll with all your RE7 hate back when that came out, but I also thought that you could just not like it because of the new camera perspective. Others didn't as well.

But this confirms it. They made a near perfect RE game with this and you're still complaining.

And where do you even come up with your "facts"? You know you are just making things up in your head and then pretending that's the truth, right? This game was in development long before RE7 released. And how was it rushed out to counter RE7 when it released over a year after RE7?

Stop being so ridiculous.

[bunt-custardly]

Surely you mean RE6 as a lot of people regard that as a failure?

[Yui_Suzumiya]

No, he prefers RE6 over 7, lol

[T2X]

Wtf game are you playing? The production is through the roof.

[trooper_]

RE7 was a commercial success.

What are you on about?

[Edito]

What are talking about?

[DaMist]

Wow you're still that hung up on RE7? So much that you're finding "rough edges in Re2" just so that you can blame 7? Lol ok

[outsider1624]

Eh? Weren't you complaining about Res7 because of its new camera perspective?
Well look, they've added your our favourite camera back.What's wrong now?

This is far from a rush job here.

[RomanPSX]

Wtf are you talking about?!? Rushed to counter RE7 disaster?!?!

[william_cade]

RE7 is a great game

[Xb1ps4]

Wtf?! Did this guy just call re7 an abomination?! IM playing re2 now and while I agree with the graphics, I was expecting more for all the praise it was getting I was a bit let down but considering it’s a remake and no other remake comes close.. im perfectly fine with it..

Capcom just needs to ignore ppl like this. Do us all a favore and don’t comment on re games anymore

[Knightofelemia]

Damn that is some good shit Naruga I'll have what you're having. How was RE7 a disaster? If anything RE7 fixed the disasters called RE5 and RE6.

[deno]

I have nothing against what you're saying. I haven't played RE7 yet but it does look weird to me in third person. If I'm saying anything further down the line I'm just being silly. God bless bro.

[Morgue]

If comments were considered clickbait. This one definitely takes the cake.

[-Foxtrot]

"possibility"

LOL. We know its already happening lets be honest

[Sirk7x]

I hope so! I'd buy that day one as well.

[mgszelda1]

With how well mr x was done. Doing 3 with nemesis in mind is a no brainer

[Pennywise138]

As much as I want to believe that I remember everyone thinking Capcom would for sure remake RE2 after the positive reception of the the RE1 remake back in 2002. It ended up taking 17 years and 3 console generations to get it. I really hope that’s not the case for 3.

[AspiringProGenji]

I played the hell out of RE2 back them. the remake has me on the edge of my seat. I dunno If I can take RE3 and the damn Nemesis, but Bring it!! This is the RE direction I love, not all that trash that came after 4

[kayoss]

I honestly thought back than RE3 was where it started going down hill. The introduction of Nemesis kind of turn the franchise into more an Action type game (Devil may cry with guns) instead of a true survival horror game. RE4 was great but there wasnt a lot of horror to it when compared to RE1 and RE2. RE5 and RE6 were just bonkers.

[Good-Smurf]

There's nothing DMC about RE3 all it did was slightly faster pace and tiny bit more ammo.
If you not good at dodging it's almost certain that you will died fighting against Nemesis unless you stockpile the weapons and ammo which by that point it's your decision not the game.
They give you choices to fight,defensive fight or just run I loved that.
By the time it started to feel more action oriented you're already in your 3rd play in.
I've been playing both RE2 and RE3 but RE3 have far superior pacing and the thrill of fighting Nemesis never gets old the AI unless you exploiting them are really not fooling around.
RE3 is the only game in the series that I still play to this day never get tired of it,played it on Dreamcast,PS1,PS3,PSP,PS Vita.

[dekke]

@kayoss

time when RE went to downhill was start of vol.4 and followed by 5 and 6 .....7 was and still is awesome...but RE2 remake will slap to face all of those :P i think RE4 and 5 and 6 was made just for US audience cuz of action/shooting shit :D

[MEGANE]

I see you point, I have a different opinion dought. RE3 dint offer anything new, it was just the same of the same, they play it safe. RE4 redefine everything!... It is just too good to be criticized. But I agree with 3 been the turning point.
I will just remake RE1again and RE4 In like 5 years. Or who nows maybe they bring RE3 back and make it awsome

[Nebaku]

"Devil May Cry with guns"...a.k.a Devil May Cry.

[-Foxtrot]

They need to add a hide feature for Nemesis like in the Evil Within

Only issue with Mr X is that you couldn’t hide from him

[Sirk7x]

I swear, most people didn't complete RE3 back in the day because they turned their Playstations off after the first time he burst through a wall xD

[AspiringProGenji]

I was one of those. i gave up the 2nd time he jumpscared me near the safe room. I finally beated the game on PC many years after lol

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Re3 remake please

[starchild]

Totally agree. I have no issue with full remakes. I actually wish more older games would get remakes. Shadow of the Collosus and Resident Evil 2 are two of the best remakes I've played. I would love if older games like Tenchu Stealth Assassins, Fatal Frame and Onimusha got full remakes.

[bigmalky]

I think they're testing the water with Onimusha with the recent release. Hopefully it sells enough, and we can get a full remake of the series too.

[sinspirit]

I also think that doing these remakes will absolutely reveal what made all these classic franchises so good in the first place to carry on their genre-defining franchise names. The pacing and development in older titles is so much better imo. They don't follow the same formula as all the games these days. I also think this is part of what made God of War 4 so good. Games these days try to be the next big blockbuster, but few try to be critically acclaimed and memorable passion projects.

[Sirk7x]

It was awhile back, but Fatal Frame 2 did get a full remake on Wii using the engine from 4, and it was amazing. Terrifying game.

[Shuckylad]

I’d of loved both zero and the original remade like RE2. CV also! But 3 will definitely happen next.

[trooper_]

I definitely agree.

[gantarat]

While i'm enjoy/happy with RE2 remake. i kind dissapoint that Both Scenarios are not different.
Also look like CAPCOM cut B character go adventure in the city before reach to rpd stations.

[BigBosss]

You do realise there are Scenarios A and B and then there are Scenarios 2nd Run A and Second Run B

[gantarat]

Scenarios 2nd Run is B Side.
Leon A Leon B and Claire A Claire B story on Remake are not different much like original.
All 4 Story Fight the same boss (G1,2,3) on the same location,encounter mr.x in rpd and have similar cutscene with sherry mom in the lab before fight G3.

what different is final boss.
Leon fight super tyrant,claire fight G4.
and B Character continue fight G5 after that.

[AK91]

After playing RE Remake 2 I kinda want to see the first game (yes I’m already aware it has one remake) get the same third person treatment before the third.

[BLow]

Yes to this. I might be in the minority but I cannot stand the controls in the old games. I buy these games and even bought the first multiple times thinking I can get past it but I can't. I guess I'm not a real gamer lol....

[mockzer0]

I would LOVE this! RE3 was one of the only resident evils I didn't play back in the day... Can't remember why I skipped it considering how many hours I put into #2.

[Pennywise138]

I’m in the same boat. Played every mainline entry except 3. I think for me it was a matter of both timing and lack of hype and advertising. It was like 3 just came out with little hype and advertising. I remember seeing so much early hype for RE2 but 3 was out before it hit my radar. Plus I think I was already getting prepped for the release of the PS2.

[DaFeelz]

Never finished RE3. I’d like another crack at it. Remake it and I’ll replay it. Aaaaaand hopefully finish it the next time. Having fun with RE2 and an update of the GC remake would be welcomed too. I miss the Crimson Heads. Scariest enemies next to the damn Regenerators.

[InTheZoneAC]

I'm playing RE2 for the first time, this remake to be exact, and I've pretty much enjoyed it every bit. In a way it feels like I'm playing Dead Space 1. I hope they do more REs like this if the story/gameplay is just as good.

*spoilers below* *spoilers below* *spoilers below*
I just made my way back to the Police Department after unlocking the Lightning Hawk long barrel in the secret underground room and I have no idea what to do next. I though I could use my facility key in the parking garage but I guess the door is locked until I progress. I wandered out to the Gun Shop thinking I could progress through the sewers there but I have no idea how to get back to use all the chess pieces I've acquired. I'm missing the heart key and there's nothing in the PD for me to do except that. I'll try again tomorrow./spoilers

[starchild]

Yeah, it did remind me of Dead Space too.

[Dirtnapstor]

The Visceral devs were heavily influenced by the RE series. That's why there's an eerie familiarity. Loving it.

[Sirk7x]

I'm pretty sure the director described it to his team as "Resident Evil in space" lol.
What a game that was though.

[gantarat]

Heart key is for claire campaign.
You need go back sewers and check the map there're bar door that need T valve to open (don't forget carry all the plugs)
about facility key after go back sewer insert any plug in panel to make the bridge down and use key to the doors.

[franwex]

Resident evil 3 was my 1st Resident Evil experience. I’m sure they’ll remake it too.

[Evolve]

You only need to tell me when I would be able to preorder RE3 and I’ll take care of the rest.

[nucky64]

i'd rather see code: veronica get the remake; but, i'd still be happy with #3/
.

[gantarat]

I think capcom plan to remake all classics RE game (include the first game)

[Pennywise138]

When rumor was that RE2 remake was going to be one continuous campaign I thought they might make RE3 remake as a meaty DLC for RE2 since I believe it’s the shortest of the RE games having only 1 playable character and the story running concurrently with RE2 but now I’m thinking that won’t be the case since they stayed pretty darn true to the original game. I just hope the wait for a RE3 remake isn’t as long as it was between the remake of 1 and 2.

[gantarat]

RE 3 is pretty big since jill and carlos go around raccoon city not just RPD.

[bigmalky]

Maybe they stayed away from a lot of the city exploration in 2, so they can make it feel fresh for a 3 remake. I guess it would make it seem more epic.

[Sirk7x]

Resident Evil 0 through 3 all take place very closely to each other, and often overlap.

[stanr]

The answer is easy, we the fans wanted it and they made it for us. Overall, best game of 2019 so far on par with Ace Combat 7 and Kingdom Hearts III.

[Thundercat77]

RS2 was a huge hit and a masterpiece. I started to play the new RE2 and oh boy... Capcom hit the ball again. This is how you pay respect to a good game.

I can tell that they used RE7 engine but with third person. It feels so good. Kudos to Capcom and their team.

If only Konami could do the same with Silent Hill 2.

[pietro1212]

With what talent? Most of the good developers left Konami. The writer responsible for SH2 has been employed with Sony for a while now.

[Thundercat77]

Then Konami should license Sony to make a Silent Hill game.

[Sirk7x]

They did use their propietery Resident Evil engine to make RE2. It was initially built for 7, and is being used for DMC5 as well.

[pietro1212]

Thundercat77
I would love for that to happen. I wish Sony could just buy the I.P.

[meganick]

I would prefer a remake of Code Veronica over RE3.

[PhantomS42]

I would love an RE3 remake but first, let's get a Resident Evil 8 to follow RE7 or Revelations 3!

[Bronxs15]

Have you had to have played re1 to enjoy this?

[Pennywise138]

No not at all. Different characters with different motivations. That being said I highly recommend downloading the original resident evil remake either before or after you play 2. It might be a remaster if a 17 year old game but it still holds up very well. If you play 2 and like the style of puzzle solving and ammo management your like the original. I’d also say 1 and 2 and 0 are the only ones you can play out of order. 0 is completely skippable as well. Not that it’s bad it just doesn’t add anything new or important. After that the story gets crazy and hard to follow even if you have played them in order.

[Bronxs15]

Cool. I played re1 way back on pc with a Microsoft sidewinder joypad af anyone remembers those!

And later played re1 remake in GameCube and really liked it. I went on to play re 4 also on GameCube (then again on wii) re5 (ps3) , revelations one 3ds and re 7 (Xbox one)

So I skipped 2,3, 6. I was just wondering if I’d remember anything from re1 or if it’s worth replaying before 2. With so many great games and gamepass it’s hard to go back to games already beaten instead of trying something new. I want to play some of the great games on gamepass before they leave the services.

[Master of Unlocking]

"They couldn’t possibly remake Resident Evil 3 without the fans’ permission, so if players really enjoy the remake of Resident Evil 2 and voice their enthusiasm then we could use that as a good indicator."

Damn!Sh!t!F*ck! And here I was hoping that they had already started development of the Bio3 Remake a while ago and that there was hope we could see it in 2020, or even this year... I don't want to have to buy a PS5 to play it FFS, I want it on the PS4! Since when do Capcom need fans' permission to do anything anyway? They sure as hell didn't get it to put RE2's original soundtrack behind a paywall in RE2 Remake...

[meganick]

I think it’s a roundabout way of saying that if RE2 remake sells well enough, they’ll consider developing an RE3 remake, which would be cool. Though I feel Code Veronica is in more need of a remake than RE3.

[stefd75]

I need a remake of Nemesis, that was my fav Res Evil game after 2 that is

[windblowsagain]

Still waiting for Deep Down. But thoroughly enjoyed Res Evil 7

[Subzero100x]

Lol possibility? they are already remaking resident evil 3.

[Jimneous]

I think RE 5 & 6 catch a lot of flack, I really enjoyed both of them. RE6 especially, was fantastic value for money.
They might have been bad horror games but as games in general, they were great.
I reckon it's the expectation that makes it worse for some people but if you enjoy them for what they are and not what you want them to be, you'll have more fun.
Their only real problem was being Resident Evil games. If they sold under a different name, perhaps a new IP, then I imagine they would have been much more highly praised.

[jeremyj2913]

I agree with this. They would have been a lot better off under a different name but Capcom really needed the money and that series sells. The lack of horro made it really hard for me to like them but the multiplayer was definitely fun.

[meganick]

5 is a solid action shooter, but a poor Resident Evil game as it made little to no attempt to scare the player. 6 is a train wreck.

[pietro1212]

RE5 was a fun arcade like shooter, it was an awful horror game. I loved the co-op and the replay value. I just could not get into RE6 though, it was all flash and no substance.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Godly REmake so far! playing on Harcore for my first playthrough, tough but fair. As long as Jill also quietly says "Fuck you" to zombies I'll be a happy camper! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Spurg]

I'm ok with that as long as they redesign the mission structure and give us something that is closer to the Evil within 2 semi-open world.

[VeiDoSaco]

Though a RE3 remake would be great, i was really hoping for a Dino Crisis one. Didnt play the first one, but the second one is a masterpiece

[Picture_Dancer]

I'd like Parasite Eve 2 rekame! Could you imagine that!?!

[pietro1212]

With Square Enix as of late I can't imagine it being good.

[hiawa23]

I have loved all of the Capcom remasters and remakes on current hardware, but RE 2 is my favorite remake, ever. Capcom, please keep the remakes coming as the RE Engine is pretty amazing, and it showed in RE7 and is equally impressive in RE2.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Far as I remember, there was a small team of college students remaking it and Capcom hired them to do the remake with their team. So quickly, someone start making Half-Life 3 and maybe Valve will hire you on to make it with them!

[Knightofelemia]

I hope RE3 is next I would love to see Dino Crisis on the RE7 engine

[ANIALATOR136]

Personally I think the RE engine has been one of the best engines this gen. Everything looks so cinematic

[--bienio--]

Come on Capcom!!! You need to do RE3 Remake !! RE2 is brilliant!!!

[Kosic]

I do hope they release the 3rd one as a remake. I played the original when I was like 11, but I don't really remember much from it. Just that you had to blow up a building. Don't really want to replay the original if they are gonna remake it.

[Fluttershy77]

Honestly, I'm really loving Capcom from the last few years

[xander70769]

Seems like Capcom are redeeming themselves. RE2 REmake is a hit, a total blast to play. The original was, imo, one of the best entries in the entire series, and they did an excellent job re-imagining it for the current technological standards. Let's hope Capcom continues this trend of giving gamers what they want and making excellent games!

[TheHan]

It will take nothing sense they have this new RE engine I won’t be surprised if they all get remakes to get that dark horror creepy feel back into their games.

[FalloutWanderer2077]

After the popularity, good sales and praise RE2 Remake has received I'm hoping that Capcom creates a RE3 remake I saw that they stated if the fans wanted it that they'd do it so it's looking like we'll be getting RE 3 Remake! The Nemesis would be awesome.

Speaking of remakes - Although RE4 has had HD versions and still looks pretty good considering its age I'd still like to see a remake using this engine that's powered RE7 and now RE2 remake.
I think most fans would welcome a RE4 remake especially if they reworked encounters, item placement, added new enemy types etc. basically how REmake 2 was handled: Keep it as close to the original as possible yet add just enough new elements to the game that it feels fresh. That is probably one of RE2 remake's biggest accomplishments imo, the devs created an almost perfect balance between old and new.
