Nemesis’ First Appearance
Few moments in Resident Evil 3 are as iconic as Nemesis’ first appearance.
Its effortless murder of Brad Vickers, and its subsequent ruthless pursuit of Jill Valentine, both establish it as a force to be reckoned with as well as an enemy that players would be crazy to try and take on.
What’s even more impressive, though, is that this was pulled off with the limited hardware capabilities of the PlayStation 1, so imagine what could be achieved with modern consoles.
In addition to looking and moving better thanks to modern hardware, Nemesis could be introduced in a more fluid way just as Mr. X was in the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Instead of appearing via cutscene, he could smash into the game as players are making their way through an area, killing Brad and coming after Jill in real-time.
Its pursuit of Jill could certainly be made to feel more visceral, with it nearly catching up to her or tearing apart obstacles to more easily reach her. Doing so would be sure to crank up players’ adrenaline, and establish it as the de facto monster in resident Evil’s Rogue’s gallery for another generation of gamers.
