Why does RE3 remake have bad reputation?

[FreddieForever#1]

All RE remakes seem to have good reputation except this one, why is that?

[V I D A L]

Because it's basically a completely new game. It's vastly different than the original in almost every way.

People expect a remake to have more familiar locations and story of the original. Both RE2 remake and RE4 remake are a lot closer to the source material. In RE3 remake they took a ton of liberty and redesigned the entire thing completely for better or for worse.

I see, so its not just cut content but replaced with new content.

Exactly. It's just a different game.
You will see fans constantly talking about cut content.. but they added just as much or even more. There are entire new areas, a lot of new enemy type, new locations and set pieces, new characters and new story bits that were not in the original, but fans only focus in complaining in what was in the original and not in the remake.

I think it's a solid game. Not as good as RE2 remake.. but the original RE3 was also not as good as the original RE2.

People compared it to RE 2 Remake.
-Has reused asset the police station
-Not enough/not as good enough Tyrant chase as RE 2 Remake
-Not much traceback compared to RE2R
-Not "as long as" RE 2 Remake
-Nemesis chase is too scripted unlike Tyrant from RE2R.

again these are other people's opinion not mine. I agree with some too. It's a good game tho, but not as good as RE 2 R.

I'd say they rushed the game too fast maybe using RE2R popularity as the momentum.. but it didn't stand out so well. I think the success of RE 2 R overshadowed RE3R.

Because this fan base is the most hypocritical bunch ever. They say the game cut content which yeah it did, but then they pretend that RE2 and RE4 didn't do the same.

The cut content from 2 doesn't really impact the game in the way that stuff from RE3 does. Removing spiders and moths is very different to removing clocktower and having hardly any exploration and an overly scripted Nemesis.

Welp finished RE4R
Nemesis's fight is still the best boss fight in RE engine's resident evil game

Nah G Birkin phase 3 is a lot better. As are most of the 7 and Village boss fights.

We are witnessing extreme levels of cope and proves my point. 'iT wAsNt As BaD', yeah miss me with that bs. RE2 cut the A/B scenarios, moths, giant spiders, removed zapping and made the section in the streets way shorter. The clocktower was 15 minutes at most with nothing unique, Mr x was also heavily scripted, and saying RE3 had no exploration is just cap.

it's resident evil 2 remake DLC, which they charge 60$ for.

final nemesis on nightmare and inferno is a horribly bad designed fight. the absurd difficulty spike from all of the game before to the final boss is one thing, but being stun locked until you die, just by doing the smallest mistake, isn't something that should ever exist.

that's just why the game is bad. arguably the biggest reason for it's bad rep, in my opinion, is:
RE 2 remake is the best game in the series
RE 3 original is the second best game in the series

the expectation for RE 3 remake were astronomically high, at least with fans of the series. and it bombed hard. cutting out the most iconic game moments like nemesis choices, grave digger, the park and the whole clock tower area..yikes..

RE 3 isn't a bad game. it's just a horrible slap in the face for resident evil fans

2R still had two character playthroughs that had some different aspects, 3R didn't. 2 had a lot of exploration, backtracking, and puzzle solving, 3R didn't. Mr X follows you all over the station in which a large part of the game takes place, and then follows Ada to the sewers and Leon to Nest, he is pressure. Nemesis only follows Jill around in a non scripted way for the first 30mins to 1 hour of the game, 90% of his appearances are cutscenes and QTEs where no actual gameplay takes place, he has 1 decent boss fight followed by 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ones 2 of which are the same fight with a different backdrop. RE2R is somewhat immersive and nails tension and atmosphere. RE3 throws all that out the window and draws from the Michael Bay playbook.

2R is much closer to a traditional RE game, 3R wishes it was a Sony movie game.

That being said, it is still a lot better 5 and 6.

the city part was shorter, yes. there are no spiders and moths, ok, yet they heavily expanded on the sewers area and added g-adaults to the enemy pool.

RE3 remake has literally cut everything. the inner city came down from a city to 2 streets with some buildings in between. no choices on nemesis fights. no gas station. no pharmacy, no clock tower, no park, no dead factory, just a lazy re-use of the RE2 remake lab. no drain deimos (sorry, but those little bugs don't count), only 4 dogs in the whole game. i could go on but yea. RE 3 remake is the biggest "press w until the game is over" title in the series.

They also heavily expanded on the hospital section of RE3 so you're point is invalid.
There is a pharmacy, RE2 cut choices to, factory was like 10 minutes, drain deimos are in the game, there are plenty of dogs in the game (maybe don't play on assisted), that title goes to RE6 mate (press w until game ends).
