While Resident Evil 3 Remake added a brand-new dodge mechanic to the franchise, Resident Evil 4 Remake takes the dodge away for the better.
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.
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
And the whole idea of Nemesis "looking for you" was ripped off entirely making this Remake more than a knock off lol
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
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.
Sure it was scripted quite a bit but I enjoyed it. Really good replayability as well.
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
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Funny they took little gameplay elements away with this one
Like the storage box, in RE2 and RE3 remakes you could store anything but in this one you can only store guns. I mean I get it it wants you to use inventory management but when you come across magnum ammo and you want to keep it for boss fights you have to carry it with you for ages. Even grenades, herbs, eggs can’t be stored just first aid canisters. Just seems strange to me.
I miss incendiary grenades aswell, they could have changed them to Molotov cocktails since enemies in the game use them and Leon always has a lighter with him.
While Resident Evil 3 Remake added a brand-new dodge mechanic to the franchise, Resident Evil 4 Remake takes the dodge away for the better.
The original RE 3 & both Revelations games had a dodge mechanic. Revelations 1 much like the original RE 3 required you to time it to just before you get hit. Revelations 2 opted to give it a dedicated button and you could even crouch at will like in RE 4 remake. Anyway I don't see how giving the player less means of survival is a good thing. Dodging should be a series main stay. Not something they parade out from time to time depending on the the devs mood at the time. I also don't understand why they give you storage but you can only store guns and first-aids. Knives, herbs, eggs, grenades and ammo can't be stored for some bizarre reason. So you still end up having to manage your attache case despite storage boxes returning because you're stuck with items you should be able to pack away like in past RE games. Makes zero sense. I love the game and its definitely a GOTY contender but some of Capcom's game play decisions are odd.
Ironically, RE3 Remake to me plays the best of all the modern RE games. Especial because of the dodge mechanic. I'm liking RE4 so far but the game has a very weighted feel to it and it's frustrating getting hurt by an enemy attack you saw coming just because Leon moves really slow overall.
There should have been a dodge mechanic just like RE3 remake
Tap R1.. works like a dodge, kinda
