Spencer and Cameron are going back in time to 1999 and looking at what may be the ultimate survival horror game from the golden age but really, of just all time, with Resident Evil 3. The game is firing on every cylinder, with a fantastic story, tons of enemies, great puzzles, dialed in controls, top tier graphics of the PS1, and of course the big new baddie of Nemesis (Who may be the make or break part of how much one loves RE3). But everything here is just the top-notch pinnacle of classic survival horror at about its zenith.

And then if we are talking the original, the remake was bound to come up in conversation, so we just added em both together for our discussion. With the 2020 game coming off the heels of the RE2 Remake, the game that really started the horror gaming revival. The RE3 remake is fast paced, streamlined, yet still offers a lot of excellent moments while keeping the overall story intact and looking like classic Biohazard. Plus, it's one of the most replay able games out there to boot. Yeah, it is on the short time and could use a couple extra hours of story gameplay to fill in some missing areas like the clocktower and graveyard. Throw some extra puzzles in and the A/B decisions and it would have been pretty darn complete. But even still it's a hell of an experience and one of the best modern horror games still.

So, we discuss the experience of playing both simultaneously and the tradeoffs in each. Along with how this story really wraps up the original RE games in a perfect trilogy, that is that was all they wrote, the story comes to a solid conclusion. RE3 is a game that any horror fan and especially Resident fan needs to give the good college try to and the bonus is how easy it is to pick up both the original and remake. They practically give them away.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
