Still the best Resident Evil game next to RE1 Remake, in my opinion. A true classic with an iconic protagonist (Jill) and a terrifying antagonist (Nemesis). Exploring the streets of Raccoon City in fixed camera is amazing. The OG RE trilogy just got better with each game. Even though the new fans may consider the game's graphics and its controls dated, it's a must-play for any true RE fans. If you can get your hands on it. If only Capcom would port it to newer consoles. Luckily for PC gamers, it's available though.
This was my first RE back on PS1 era. I feel it shorter than i remember and some mechanics have not aged well, also the dialogues feels kind of dumb, i guess i never pay attention to that as a kid. But they nail it with Nemesis, it's a lot scarier than the the new one from the Remake (which i can tell now miss quite some thing from this)
Still my favorite RE from original trilogy.
I just played this on original PlayStation for the first time after playing RE2 on PS1 also for the first time. It’s not quite as good as RE2 (which I rate a 9/10 game) in that it’s a little shorter and the enemy Nemesis can be irritating at times. I don’t mind tank controls, however, the sluggish nature of moving around a fast paced enemy doesn’t work quite well. You’ll find yourself dying on Hard mode simply because your character doesn’t turn left or right as quickly as you need them to.
The environments look great and there’s much of the vibe from RE2 carried over. The puzzles are decent too.
I had to laugh at times when Carlos would keep running off for no reason but it usually meant something cool was around the corner.
A minor complaint, similar to RE2, is that there are too many doors and gates to open. It might seem really trivial but when you’re moving back and forth around environments and you have to watch a door open for 5 seconds each time, it robs you of the feeling of agency.
Another thing worth pointing out is that RE3 Nemesis was released in 1999, 1 to 2 years after some amazing games like Super Mario 64, Goldeneye 007 and Ocarina of Time. While a totally different genre, the 3D objects in the game (like the player character and enemies) really highlight the PS1’s age by 1999. It’s made up for by amazing pre-rendered backgrounds, though.
I absolutely love survival horror and this game met my expectations but didn’t exceed them. I would’ve liked a longer adventure such as more buildings to explore and perhaps a few more sidekicks to meet along the way.
Still very much a recommended title to play if you have original hardware with a dual shock controller.
SummaryTaking place on the day and night following the events of the first Resident Evil game but just before the second, Nemesis comes to the PC after a stops on the Playstation, continuing the series that made the survival horror genre.
