Growing up, I loved 3 just as much as 2, sometimes more. I couldn't be more excited when this remake was announced. (I had/have so many gamertags called "Nemesis"). They did so many things right. The new character models, the animations, the voice acting, the city, the controls; I love so much about this game. Jill is the best RE character and this is the best iteration by a country mile. Marvin and Brad's encounter is one of the best moments in the entire series. Jaw was on the floor. Unfortunately, that just makes it hurt all the more that this game feels very rushed. Once you beat it, that's it. There's only higher difficulties. No B scenario, no mini-game, no real incentive to continue. There was so much cut content as well. No clocktower section? No park, no newsroom, no dead factory. No random Nemesis encounters. There is some new stuff, of course, and it's all cool. But, you can't cut off arms and add back fingers. Don't work like that. That's what makes the RE1 remake so perfect. You took what was there, made it beautiful (or grotesque? pftt whatever same diff), trimmed very little, and added a ton more cool stuff. They even did that better than the near-perfect RE2 remake. But this one. (loud exhale irl) It never slows down. The pacing is just nonstop. It's all action. It goes by so fast. When I bought it in April 2020 (pandemic news coverage in-game was startling btw lol), I beat it the next day and I expected to be absolutely elated with it. But, I wasn't. And it confused me. I didn't really know what I was feeling. But as I sat with it, I realized it was disappointment. It's a really good game and I really like it, but I don't think I'll ever get over what it could have been. If only it had another year of development.
