First off, the streets are crowded, cluttered and claustrophobic you won't be getting the chance to pick off hordes of undead from a safe distance. But you will need to make good use of it, because there are a LOT of zombies in downtown Raccoon City - way more than you might have encountered in and around the RPD building in the Resident Evil 2 remake.Ĭrucially, it never tilts into feeling like a full-on third person shooter. Super satisfying and appropriate, given Jill's expert training. To illustrate this, an extremely welcome dodge mechanic has been added, and when timed perfectly - in other words when you press the dodge button at the last possible second to avoid an enemy's attack - time will slow for just a moment, allowing you to counter-attack with a well-placed headshot. Jill isn't any old police officer and she certainly isn't a civilian - she's a member of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service AKA S.T.A.R.S and as a result her reflexes are just a little bit more enhanced. This is still first and foremost a survival horror experience. That is also the case here, but if you're concerned about a return to the over-the-top nature of the more shooter-heavy later games, don't be. The original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was notably more action-heavy than its predecessor Resident Evil 2. That's not to say that the twisting alleys and iron-gated back streets of the original game aren't here, they've just been given a slight sprucing up. So not only has the original's cable car been replaced with a subway line, the streets just look that little bit more vibrant. The first thing you notice when you emerge onto the streets of Raccoon City is that everything's been given a slightly modernised makeover. Therefore, she has no choice but to head out into the city proper. We took control of Jill seeking cover in the Redstone street subway station, as she meets with members of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, or UBCS, and is then tasked with heading to the nearby electricity substation, to get the subway's power back online. The demo took place a little way into the game, where Resident Evil 3's leads Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliviera have already met.
Following quickly in the footsteps of last year's frankly brilliant Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom's preparing its makeover of Resident Evil 3 for release, and we got to sample a decent slice ahead of time.
