Resident Evil 3 PS4

yes

Good reviews on the remake. I never played, so will be picking up.

Excited

Ya I knew some people would gripe about the length. The old-school RE games are just not that long, horror games by their nature really can't be.

RE1 and RE2 both extend the length by having multiple character scenarios, 3 never had that.

That's also probably why they included the multiplayer mode as well.

Played the demo on PC and it was good.. but just not $43 good, and that was the preorder price I had on Greenmangaming. Refunded it and will just wait for this to be $20 or less. Nemesis is too fricking annoying... I don't want to pay that price to be cucked and feel frustrated right now. Got plenty of other games to play anyway. Graphics were amazing though. Not really a fan of the dodge step move.. seems like you will have to get pretty good at that to avoid Nemesis damage. Hate how he just teleports to your location seemingly at times... too scripted IMO, at least in the demo. But it is when he first appears I guess...

I pre ordered it on my Best Buy card. Going pick it up tomorrow. Gonna try and get as much of my work done from home as I could.

I remember playing this game Christmas morning in 1999

I'll get it, I just don't know when.

I hope they incorporate those split second decision scenes when dealing with Nemesis. I always thought that was a cool part of the original.

Got mine a day early just now, I'll be playing it today and this weekend.

6 hours is still really fricking short. Not everyone loves to play multiple times with every difficulty.

Hard pass for me if it really is that short.

6 hours is probably an underestimate for the average person's first playthrough. I'm 5 hours in and def. not near the end. My first playthrough of RE2 remake took 10'ish hours, I'm pretty thorough and like to try to find all the items and files and stuff. I'm guessing that's probably a more accurate estimate for most people. However if you rush and just sorta plow ahead to the next objective as quickly as possible, then 6'ish hours is def. possible. Resident Evil games have never been long. RE4 is the longest I can remember, it probably takes 12-15'ish for a casual playthrough.

If your gaming budget is tight and you want a longer game I can understand that. Especially with games like FF7 remake, Nioh 2, Animal Crossing, etc. just having come out, all of those are very long games you can play for weeks if not months.

Thus far the game itself is good, about what you'd expect after R2, but Nemesis himself is pretty disappointing. He's sorta too over the top to be really scary. There's no sense of dread. Whenever he's around it's full Michael Bay. They haven't done anything really interesting with him yet, thus far anyway.

Was really surprised they didn't incorporate this into the remake. That was one of the unique, defining characteristics of the original so including a few of those choices in some way should have been a no brainer, would have made RE3 remake stand out a little more from RE2 and be more true to the original spirit.

Yeah releasing it only a year after RE2 was probably too soon. Not sure if they were developing it in parallel or completely after.

Having split decisions with branching paths would have also greatly increased replayability as well.

Finished it in about 7.5 hours on normal difficulty.

If definitely feels like it's an act short. The Clock Tower in the middle of the game is where it could used another segment. In the original it's a full blown act and in the remake it really only appears in passing.

When you take a look at the post-game shop and the challenges and two new difficulties and stuff, it's clear it was built to encourage multiple playthroughts since the campaign itself is brief by today's standards.
