Which Resident Evil Should Capcom Remake Next?
Resident Evil 3
Now that the second game’s finally gotten the remake treatment, all that’s really left is Resident Evil 3. Unlike all of the other games in the mainline series, Capcom hasn’t really touched 3. Sure, they snuck in an RE3 segment in Darkside Chronicles, but that’s pretty much it.
It’s a real shame too, considering that Resident Evil 3 is home to one of the most terrifying creatures in the series: Nemesis. This creature will come out and chase you down when you least expect it, whether you’re walking down the city or strolling through the precinct. Nemesis is out for blood and won’t rest until it’s killed every living S.T.A.R.S. member –including Jill.
Apart from a few ports, Resident Evil 3 is in dire need of some updates. The tank controls and graphics fall short compared to some of the more recent Resident Evil games. Jill could also use some time in the limelight, especially since she hasn’t been featured in a new game since Revelations in 2012.
Remaking Resident Evil 3 would also give Capcom the chance to turn it into an actual mainline game instead of feeling like the spin-off it was intended to be. Instead of centering solely on Jill’s survival, they can tie in more Umbrella-related experiments and give a deeper reason as to why she stayed behind in Raccoon City.
