![]() This wasn’t my first time dealing with the Nemesis, but I’d never been at such a disadvantage before. Then I heard the music shift, a subtle flutter of strings indicating that the Nemesis had found me. The city teemed with the undead and parasitically infested super-zombies. I’d journeyed through the back alleys to a power station, where I rerouted subway tracks for a train full of survivors. Knock him down with a grenade and you might buy some time, but even if you get away he can and will show up when you least expect it.Īt one point, I thought I was in a safe room, but he entered it anyway. Try to run away and the Nemesis might leap over your head to block the way. If you’re far away, the Nemesis can grab you with slimy tendrils and pull you closer. He is more intelligent and can use weapons. He is faster and runs after you at full speed. While there are moments when you’re safe, he is a far more dogged and present danger than Mr. Right from the start, the Nemesis is chasing you. Resident Evil 3 makes that terror the core of the experience. X were among the most terrifying in the game. While he could be stopped for a time, he could not be killed. X would patrol the police station and chase down the player. Resident Evil 2 featured another dangerous enemy called T-000, also known as Mr. What follows is a desperate struggle to survive through the worst parts of the outbreak. The sudden zombie outbreak and arrival of a tireless killer monster codenamed “Nemesis,” which has been specifically programmed to hunt down STARS members, throws that plan into disarray. Jill, placed on leave by the Umbrella-owned police chief, plans to leave the city under the cover of night. The virus responsible for the monsters was created by the nefarious Umbrella Corporation and spread into the city proper. These rapid response experts were all but eliminated in Resident Evil after venturing into a monster-filled mansion. Jill is a former member of the Racoon Police Department’s Special Tactics and Rescue Service, or STARS. ![]() Set after the events of Resident Evil and slightly before (and then concurrent with) Resident Evil 2, the story focuses on Jill Valentine’s escape from a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. It is louder and meaner than what came before. This is the philosophy at the core of Resident Evil 3. No lock is big enough, no weapon strong enough, to stop what is coming. You will never be safe, even in the places where you think you are untouchable. There’s no time for deep breath or pep talks. ![]() The second philosophy allows monsters to open the door whenever they want. They can prepare-both mentally and with in-game supplies-to face whatever lies ahead. That model, while effective, has a downside: players choose when to open the door. Anything could be behind it the horror comes from the unknown. In the first, players walk up to a closed door. Video game horror operates on two different philosophies. Where that game was still puzzling out a change in format and occasionally struggled to forge an identity, Resident Evil 3 proceeds with wonderful confidence. Resident Evil 3 is a better modernisation than last year’s fantastic Resident Evil 2 remake. The Resident Evil 3 remake transplants that experience into a modern framework and ratchets up an already intense experience into something downright exhausting. It stalked the player around the city and could appear at nearly any time. The titular Nemesis loomed above all, a hulk creature all but impossible to kill. There were assault rifles, dashing monsters, and quick manoeuvring through open streets. Nemesis operated on a different ethos: Set during the height of the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, the survival horror was mixed with straight out action. Resident Evil 2 upped the stakes with more zombies but carried a sizzling anxiety underneath pockets of violence. ![]() The original Resident Evil was claustrophobic and puzzle driven. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis released in 1999 for the Sony PlayStation. If you want furious chases, sudden death, and overwhelming zombie horde, Resident Evil 3 will gladly kill you. If you’re looking for a moody horror experience, this isn’t it. It is an explosive game brimming with intensity and some of the best action in the series. Brilliance is an incredibly rare thing, and Resident Evil 3 hooked me from the start. I don’t know if I should have used it then. About five minutes into the Resident Evil 3 remake, I uttered the word “brilliant.” I don’t use that word often.
