A Resident Evil 3 remake has been on the cards since the release of the incredibly successful Resident Evil 2 remake. Although the title hasn't been confirmed by Capcom, the cover art leaks heavily suggests that it is on its way. In fact, many are anticipating an official announcement at The Game Awards on December 13th. In the meantime, the leaked art has been compared to the original designs of Resident Evil from 1999 by fans on Reddit.
The Resident Evil franchise has become synonymous with the survival-horror genre after the first game arrived in 1996. The games have spawned a successful film franchise as well as plenty of spin-offs. Although Resident Evil has managed to maintain its reputation as a franchise, the remake of Resident Evil 2 really re-established the games as one of the best in the genre it helped create. Since then many have been eagerly awaiting a Resident Evil 3 announcement.
One of the most notable changes in the new Resident Evil 3 images is that Nemesis now has a nose. Although the character still looks scary, some fans have complained about how Nemesis look in Resident Evil 3 remake. Yet there is no doubt that the character will provide plenty of fearful encounters, much like Mr X. The game's protagonists Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira have also been updated drastically and the characters have a lot more detail as well as personality. The pictures on Reddit showcase the drastic changes in the character designs and how much graphics have improved in the last twenty years.
The characters look far better than their predecessors and many will look forward to returning to Raccoon City. There have been rumors that Resident Evil 3 would be released in 2020 and this would surely please fans who are keen to carry on playing the series with improved graphics. While it may seem unusual to follow up Resident Evil 2 only a year on from its release, the leaked art suggests the game is well on its way.
There has been a lot of speculation around Resident Evil 3 and many will be eager to have the game officially announced. Whether this remake can live up to its predecessor remains to be seen. What is apparent is that the game will look better than ever, even if the character designs evoke fan discussion. It will be interesting to see if the remake of Resident Evil 3 pads out what was originally a rather short game. If the game can do this then it will surely continue Resident Evil's incredible legacy.
The Resident Evil 3 remake is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
