Capcom and PlayStation Access have teamed up to produce a video juxtaposing the original 1999 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis with the upcoming remake, offering a detailed look at just how the latter has managed to improve on the 21-year-old PlayStation title.
Resident Evil 3 Remake Vs Resident Evil 3 1999
The biggest change is obviously the visuals, but also the perspective. Gone are the pre-rendered backgrounds featured in the original game, instead replaced by lavishly-detailed 3D environments. As such, the camera is now directly behind Jill.
Check out the video below and see just how far the game has come.
Resident Evil 3 remake is scheduled for release on April 3 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. The game takes places 24 hours before and after Resident Evil 2, and sees former S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team member Jill Valentine attempting to escape a zombie-infested Raccoon City.
Aside from battling her way through legions of flesh-eating zombies and other creatures, Jill is stalked by the inexorable Nemesis, a new breed of Tyrant manufactured by Umbrella Europe that is on the hunt for all remaining S.T.A.R.S. members.
Resident Evil 3 remake also ships with the multiplayer title Resident Evil Resistance, which sees groups of survivors attempting to escape puzzle rooms while being obstructed by another player, who controls the mysterious Mastermind.
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was originally released on the PlayStation back in 1999 in the US and Japan, and arrived in the UK in February 2000. The game was eventually ported to the PC, Dreamcast, and GameCube.
