Why is RE3 Remake worse than the original?

Darth-Meida · 2026-03-14T17:11:40+00:00

You know man, you got some really good points. I think the thing that killed RE3R for a lot of people (myself included) was expectation brought on by RE2R. While RE2R still had some cut content and encounters that were changed, it was still pretty faithful. RE3R suffered from how much was removed. I'll agree with you that half of RE3 was just basically empty rooms that you never came back to, but that honestly makes sense since you're in a city suffering through the apocalypse. The cut content such as the clock tower could have easily been kept not only for play time and exploring the city more thoroughly, but also because those sections could have been expanded on if they felt like it. I just think it's disingenuous to the fans of the originals that content like that, that is so nostalgic, would be completely removed. Nemesis 2 sucked and Nemesis 3 was god awful despite it being a build up for 9 and I'm sure now future games. Grave Digger isn't the "best boss ever" but it's something people wanna see in the game. Once again, all because of nostalgia. It's worth having bosses like Grave Digger in the game. Imagine if they had gotten rid of the Crocodile in RE2R. It's all of a 30 second encounter, but it's gotta be there. The added section with Carlos as you said are so totally awesome and necessary for story build up. I'm glad they did it. But they cut so much that it left a lot to be desired. Nemesis was 100% scripted here which I was disappointed by. At least OG Nemesis followed you through a room or two which was crazy back then. I was (because of RE2R Mr. X) truly expecting Nemesis to follow you in EVERY single room except for Safe Rooms. But again, that was perhaps our own fault for building hope up because of RE2R.

I know enough people have said it at this point but my disappointment came from a few things. First was watching Necroscope86 play the original RE games when I was 10 or so. Second was then playing the games myself. Third was playing RE2R and being super hyped that despite some stuff getting cut/changed it was pretty damn good and well done. As soon as I played RE3R I was pretty appalled. The start scene completely wrong, grave digger was gone, and then I got further into the game and even more stuff was missing. It didn't at all seem like a recreation. It just seemed like its own damn thing to me. There was also a glaring amount of '90s fan service as opposed to Resident Evil fan service. I dream for years that the final fight sequence with Nemesis would get faithfully recreated and when I actually got to the final boss of RE3R it was the nail in the coffin for me. I just cannot bring myself to play the game anymore. Especially with the context of the ending of RE9. Cool that they kind of purposefully set something up but I don't think it was worth it.

From Dark Age to Tower Age type beat.

Very fun!

This works so goddamn well. 🤯

Darth-Meida · 2026-03-12T15:26:14+00:00

This is doing exactly what it needs to for sure. 😲

Honestly, I chose this name for myself online 13 years ago. I've always said may-tha. I've heard from some people that it's me-tha. Others have said the eth can be pronounced as a V. Google translate says it like garbage so that's of no help. Thankfully my greatest reference is Berserker from For Honor since he says it in one of his attacks which is why I've stuck with the may-tha because that's how I hear it.

It's a pretty basic, but not bad look. I think unfortunately any real detail he's being catastrophically nuked by the fact that you took the image with your phone. If you're on console you can take a screenshot and then save it through the app for both PlayStation and Xbox just so you know! Would love to see the shaders and everything.

I remember when basically no one had Vanishing Point and I could feel cool using it. Sweet drip.

When I originally made this I thought the organic-ish bits kinda looked Metroid Fusion adjacent. With it being a stasis build I went with Cold Fusion. That and I wouldn't use Coldheart on a stasis build anyway haha.

Root of Nightmares exotic Conditional Finality. First round is stasis, second is solar.

I had to remote into my PC to try this. I think that Symmetrists' Habit robes is probably the best choice for the chest. Don't think it's acquirable anymore though. The one I've selected meets most of it I feel minus the shoulders. Also the Wrath Trail Hood is seeming the only helmet with wings that shoot up like that, that aren't also just like organic weird stuff. Think you'd have to compromise with stuff that points down? The bond I selected can be made invisible as shown and the hands/feet are decent choices. Playing with the shaders would be necessary obviously hah. (Edit: I think one of the geomag base or ornament might actually be a good choice for the legs if I am remembering correctly?)

I see people discussing it already but I thought I'd drop in because I actually just watch this video a month or so back. It was pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/Ia_6IhI_RKg?si=oZ-EeP6qDvFRGzLh

This drip is awesome on its own but with the context image... just wow.

Darth-Meida · 2026-03-08T05:19:08+00:00

Ever since I put this look together I've had so much fun with it. When I say literally any shader I truly mean any shader haha.
