Which Resident Evil Should Capcom Remake Next?
Top Choice: Resident Evil 3
Given how Resident Evil 3 is the only game in the trilogy that hasn’t been remade, it’s about time Capcom did something about it. Sure, it might not be as plot heavy as Code: Veronica or have the same online co-op mechanics as Resident Evil Outbreak, but there’s still a lot to love in the third game.
3 does set up some plot points for future games, particularly when Jill gets injected by the virus. We also learn more about the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.), which is a group of highly skilled mercenaries and war criminals on a mission to help survivors in the outbreak.
Seeing as how terrifying Mr. X is in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, now would be the perfect time to bring back Nemesis. This creature would look downright horrifying with the RE Engine, making the cat-and-mouse chase between Jill the Nemesis all the more intense. Imagine the behemoth just busting in out of nowhere and chasing you through Raccoon City.
It’s also worth noting that if you thought Mr. X was scary, just wait till you see Nemesis. This monster is faster than you, has tons of weapons and tentacles at his disposal, and isn’t just a mindless drone that follows you from room to room. This guy is a cunning hunter.
Another thing to note is that Capcom could just reuse some of their assets from Resident Evil 2 to make a good chunk for a Resident Evil 3 Remake. The game is already set in Raccoon City, and Jill even goes through the precinct at one point herself.
All that said, it isn’t all too surprising that there have been murmurs about a Resident Evil 3 Remake in the works. Even Capcom is open to the idea of remaking the third game, so the possibility is definitely there. The only real question is when will they get around to doing it?
