During Sony's State of Play broadcast, Capcom celebrated the 20th anniversary of classic title Resident Evil 3: Nemesis by unveiling a reimagined and modernizeed version of the game that still plunges Jill Valentine in the heart of Raccoon City. The publisher also announced that previously unveiled multiplayer title Project Resistance is a mode for this game now titled Resident Evil Resistance. Resident Evil 3 is set to launch on April 3rd 2020 for PS4, Xbox One and Steam.
Resident Evil 3 is set amidst the nightmarish outbreak of the T-virus, a biological weapon developed by the pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation. The game marks the debut of Nemesis – a towering humanoid bioweapon designed for both brutality and high-functioning intelligence – whose dogged hunt of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine made him an icon of the Resident Evil™ series. Armed with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and wrapped in a black suit to hide his mutilated features, Nemesis will maim, pulverize or destroy any obstacle on the path to his target.
Jill’s harrowing escape takes place in the panic-stricken hours leading up to and following the events of the acclaimed best-selling Resident Evil 2. Intense combat and puzzle solving combine to deliver the heart-pounding final chapter of Raccoon City’s collapse. The horrific settings from the original game and new content come to life as never before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident Evil™ 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry™ 5 with high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics.
Complementing the action-packed single player campaign is Resident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical 4 vs. 1 multiplayer game originally unveiled as a working title at Tokyo Game Show earlier this year. As the Mastermind behind the scenes, players can assume the role of key Resident Evil characters like Annette Birkin in a series of deadly experiments. Manipulate the environment and wield a deck of cards to place vicious creatures, set traps and weaponized security cameras to snare hapless Survivors. A first for the franchise, Masterminds can even directly control elite bioweapons like G-Birkin and Tyrant. In turn, four Survivors must effectively work together, making the most of a variety of weapons and each player’s unique special abilities, to stand a chance of escaping the experiment before time runs out.
North American console players will also be able to purchase a Resident Evil 3 Collector’s Edition. This premium package contains a physical copy of Resident Evil 3, a high quality Jill Valentine figure, printed artbook, a Raccoon City map wall poster and a digital Resident Evil 3 soundtrack. Those who pre-order will also receive the exclusive Classic Costume Pack that features the original design for Jill Valentine and hairstyle for Carlos Oliveira.

2020 is really stacked to the brim with epic games: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us: Part 2, Doom: Eternal, Marvel's Avengers, Dying Light 2, Halo Infinite, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Ghost of Tsushima, Psychonauts 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, new System Shock, Cris Tales, Tales of Arise, new Oddworld: Soulstorm, Wasteland 3 and so many more.
Then there's the unannounced games and the new consoles, PS5 and XB4. And now Resident Evil 3 Remake. Thankfully, I bought a brand new 4K TV on Black Friday. Because my wallet couldn't handle if I left everything for 2020. Then there's time, how to find time to play all that... well, it's not like sleep is essential. Fuck my backlog.
Seeing this poll the interest in first person RE is not big - https://www.resetera.com/threads/hey-capcom-where-...
Resident Evil 3 - Special Developer Message:

but I also know its unrealistic for them to create a 1st person and 3rd person view mode.
- new Jill

Jill in particular doesn't seem so bad. they gave her less hair i think though. yeah.
"she somewhat looks like Milla Jovovich, wonder if that was intentional."

"Is it first person? VR? I'm interested if so. Not so much if it's like REmake 2."

they're also reusing all of RE2 remake's zombies and locations.
hence why this game will be released soon next year.
The 1st person view really is teasing, and I hope its not just for some kind of cinematic effect.
Will they remake RE4?
plus a HD remaster was already released. not much else they can do.
Code Veronica on the other hand. yeah that needs a remake.

code veronica is a likely candidate for the next remake, but i honestly hate that game. a new perspective might help a little, but even conceptually i didn't like it. the main villains, the new enemy types, the story...fucking steve!...just everything about that game sucked and i'm not sure there's anything to be done to fix those things.
personally i'd like a RE-REmake. basically take camera and mechanics of REmake 2. and stick them in REmake 1, complete with crimson zombies and Lisa. REmake2 worked best in the dark claustrophobic corridoors of the RCPD, and i imagine that would be multiplied in the mansion setting. plus it would bring the entire original trilogy up to date and consistent.
