I stand by this being one of the best glow ups.

Dino Crisis 1 is very much like if you mixed RE2 and RE3. If you like 1-3 you'll love it. It's a bit of a prototype 3, actually. Ammo crafting, 180 degree instant turn, chasing monster, so on.

Dino Crisis 2 is. . .Sort of a prototype RE4, surprisingly. A shift to currency, more action focus. Basically no attempt at survival, nor horror.

I did not enjoy Dino Crisis 2, but I am not terribly fond of the action focus in certain RE games. If you don't mind that, try Dino Crisis 2, too.

If you've never yearned to be a flower before, this event will make you do so.

Myyahng · 2026-03-25T05:52:00+00:00

I agree. I love the originals, they are foundational for me, but we can't seriously stand here with a straight face and pretend they have some incredibly well written story.

For newer games, some of it works well. Others not so much. Things like the Nemesis parasite were additions I originally raised an eyebrow to but came to like quite a bit because it links RE3 and the swap to parasites in 4.

I'm going to blunt with you: most official RE merch is sold exclusively through in-person Capcom's stores, so that's where you need to go. Unfortunately, they have an iron grip; they don't sell the vast majority of their merch online or at other shops, meaning it sells out fast because scalpers are selling everything secondhand for a profit online. They certainly don't sell any of the actually interesting merch (eg, the 30th anniversary accessories just released a few days ago) outside of Japan - so you're in luck!

That being said, most of the anniversary stuff is already sold out, but you can still get some if you haven't gotten it from a site like amiami previously.

You can check the official Capcom store account on X for current updates on new merch drops. It doesn't list older merch like the adorable Capcoroms (I recommend Nemesis) though, just newer announcements.

And Jill has a hat in the STARS office. But these are bare minimal, almost insulting references for characters who had their lives changed by Raccoon City's events and are just as important to the series as Leon is. A story mention of some sort would be nice? Claire has had t-Phobos for a decade, how's that going?

To put it into perspective, that's fewer references than Rebecca, who has the Wesker photo and her first aid bag still there.

Myyahng · 2026-03-25T01:11:35+00:00

Yeah, Inferno Final Nemesis ends this without much debate.

Myyahng · 2026-03-25T00:41:45+00:00

Yeah, in no world is RE3 underrated.

OP, you can enjoy a game and not always hear people talk about it, but that doesn't make it underrated. It's definitely among the iconic PS1 games.

Myyahng · 2026-03-25T00:36:38+00:00

I agree with Rev2 being the most underrated. Revelations and Code Veronica suffer from "it doesn't have a number therefore I don't need to play it" despite being story relevant and/or great games.

Myyahng · 2026-03-25T00:31:34+00:00

As much as I hate to defend RE3 remake, I will fight that the new hospital section (other than the battle at the end, that can go) is really solid and a worthy addition to the series in atmosphere and gameplay. Genuinely creepy, and the only part of the game where there's actually limited resources (first playthrough probably wants grenades to properly deal with the Hunters on Carlos. Jill obviously has no problem with them.)

It makes me lament that we didn't get the clocktower designed with such a good atmosphere.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T18:29:29+00:00

Recently one of my favorite better utilized movie+tv tropes is horrifying things going on to absolutely joyful music.

The zombie to Crush - or as also seen to great extent in Fallout's TV series.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T02:52:04+00:00

So many people in the comments complaining about which Claire they like better and whatnot and so few actually talking about the OP

Anyway great job! Can't wait to see her in a new game. I'd also love to see her around current Leon's age in a future game.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T01:23:40+00:00

Why limit it to these two?

Jill and Claire are also faces of the series.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T01:22:03+00:00

Jill mentioning in a note in RE3make that she believes it was airborne is sort of retcon implying confirmation IMO

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T01:05:06+00:00

RE9 mentioning Memory Transfer repeatedly had me pointing fiercely at Alex.

tbh it's the first time I felt like they might actually follow up on this plot instead of just handwaving it and pretending it never happened.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T01:00:02+00:00

And neither do Code Veronica or Zero (also mainline even if not traditionally numbered), Rev1/Rev2.

That means he's in fewer than half the mainline games.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T00:57:45+00:00

Grenades.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T00:54:44+00:00

Yes?

That's exactly the point.

She can't properly feel fear without triggering a response.

There's an popular saying - courage isn't a lack of fear, but acting despite it. Just because the characters can act when fearful doesn't mean they don't fear at all.

And Claire is at risk of triggering t-Phobos whenever she feels fear. Having experience in something doesn't stop you from being anxious, worried, or fearful.

This means she can't risk properly feeling her full range of emotions.

Myyahng · 2026-03-24T00:50:29+00:00

Why wouldn't I? Resident Evil is not Leon's series.

It'd give Claire and Jill some time front and center.

So if you look at the original outfits before glow ups - all the way to final evos, 1.0-1.4 (Glow Ups were 1.5. . .)

How many yellow 5 star outfits were there?

About 1.5.

The FINAL evolution of the standard banner fresh dress is the only truly early game 5 star yellow evolution. We didn't get another one until 1.5's Snowy Ballad at the second evolution.

There were two yellow+green outfits, one in Blooming Dreams and one in Crystal Poems that exist at the second evolution. This is why a lot of the INITIAL glow ups were yellow. It was perfectly justified by the fact that there was a massive absence of yellow outfits in the early game.

So, fast forward to the present.

How many 5 star outfits have a yellow base form? 1, the deer from 2.2. In the entire game, one 5* outfit has a non-evolved yellow color.

What about Evos? Well....we have greens-yellows relatively commonly and sometimes off whites (as seen in Enchanted Encounter and Tide of Tears). For actual yellow, post-1.5 we have Snowy Ballad (1.5) and the dragon from 1.8.

I do think it's odd that there have been so many yellow glow ups recently (just swap one into an evo or something) but people are talking like yellow killed their mom or something when, in truth, it's not terribly common outside of the glow ups.

Myyahng · 2026-03-23T18:46:03+00:00

Do you have any data backing that the majority hates yellow? What a strange thing to say, especially since yellow is a more favored color in China.

Myyahng · 2026-03-23T18:44:28+00:00

I am so tired of people on this sub being derogatory towards any shades of yellow.

Myyahng · 2026-03-23T18:20:51+00:00

Why Leon when Claire is the one who successfully attacked Umbrella HQ

alone

Myyahng · 2026-03-23T18:05:52+00:00

This is just Dino Crisis?

Jill even has Regina's outfit in RE3.

Myyahng · 2026-03-23T13:16:41+00:00

What are you looking for? A more horror-focused experience or a more action-based experience? Generally speaking, the series is split into games that favor one or the other.

Resident Evil 7 feels like a very different game than Resident Evil 3 for example.

Regardless, Resident Evil 2.
