81 average so far through 89 reviews. Much like the original RE3 it seems very love it or hate it. Here's some contrasting excerpts! IGN - 9/10 With a sublimely detailed world and breakneck survival-horror gameplay, Resident Evil 3 is just as good as its 2019 predecessor. More, please! PC Gamer - 5.8/10 Both the Nemesis and Raccoon City are massively underused in this disappointing step back for the series. Game Informer - 9/10 This is another spectacular remake for the series, and Nemesis is an imposing enemy who relentlessly chases you throughout the game. Gamespot - 6/10 Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 3 makes a strong first impression, but it eventually loses sight of what made the original so memorable. US Gamer - 3.5/5 Resident Evil 3 finally repositions its place as not just a true sequel to Resident Evil 2, but as a bridge to Resident Evil 4, both in action and plot. While it streamlines the formula of Resident Evil 2 into something more linear, it's still the best way to dodge through Raccoon City with Jill and Carlos, even with Nemesis always on your tail and the occasional clunkiness here and there. With a breezy runtime, Resident Evil 3 is well worth revisiting. Just maybe not Resident Evil Resistance. Sounds like it's very short running at about 5-6 hours for a first playthrough so I look forward to what speedruns of this game will look like --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, RE (sans 6) is a speed series built on replayability not initial length.
Most clock in around 90 minutes once you're good at them! Even the ones that "seem" long like RE4. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ... Copied to Clipboard!

This game is sounding like a pure shot of adrenaline that is pretty much over as soon as you come down from the high, and that's A-okay with me if it's true! Will never understand folks complaining that a game doesn't dilute itself across some arbitrary dollar-hour ratio.

Was it really though? The butchering of A/B scenarios meant that the "second run" was more of an arraigned mode anyway, swapping Ada and Sherry around for who you get to rescue from the sewer. It's artificial length.

RE2make's second runs barely qualify as arranged modes tbh, they were 90% the same. Legit the only disappointing aspect of an otherwise excellent game.

Will never understand folks complaining that a game doesn't dilute itself across some arbitrary dollar-hour ratio. I think it's a holdover from when we were kids and you needed to decide which games to rent vs which games to buy. I almost exclusively bought RPGs growing up because I knew I'd get a lot of value out of them. Games I knew I could beat in a weekend or a week and never touch again would be a rental. My brain just doesn't compute paying full price for a game I'm going to beat in 2-3 days and never touch again. --- skull ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also sucks that Nemesis is a step down from Mr. X. I kinda get it though, theyre going for different things. But I was hoping Nemesis would be a further refinement of what Mr. X was in the remake.

I will say though that some of the cuts made (the clock tower and park especially) and retoolings are baffling to me.
But I did say going in that as long as THE LINE made it in, I'd be happy so we're already starting in the green. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel bad that a friend of mine actually surprised me with this game as a gift. I'm pretty cheap and would probably wait for it to hit $20 based on the disappointing news I'm learning. No clock tower is inexcusable.

The demo area is the hub for the first half of the game, so that makes sense. Also why the demo size was so large.

He's most Nemesisy in the section from the demo, but after that it's just boss fights and not much stalking.

RE3 has always been my favorite of the original PS trilogy. I just really like all the settings in the game, just seeing the kind of places, landmarks and businesses that populated Raccoon City is so interesting to me. And I like the good amount of variety with random encounters/occurrences & the branching paths add even more replay value to the typical RE experience.

This PSN throttling is ridiculous. This preload is going to take 10 hours for 9.4 GB. That's insane.

I was hoping the MP in this would be fun, but I really hated what I played so I guess I'm gonna wait for this to go on sale. I'm happy to see the reception for this is just as scattershot as the original - truly a faithful recreation.
