It has been over 20 years since Capcom released Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation and just last week released the remake of the game.

Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi was asked in an interview with Game Watch if there would ever be a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Hirabayashi said a remake of the game depends on the fan's enthusiasm.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis released just one year after Resident Evil 2 and used many of the same assets and was set in the same city.

I'd like to see RE Zero, 1, 3 and Code Veronica remade like Resident Evil 2. I'm just not a fan of how original RE games play.

This!

RE 1 already has a remake, its very unlike they will make another (altough I'd love it), I believe Zero would be the game to benefit the most from a remake, they could correct the mechanics and gameplay decisions that irks a big pat of the fanbase and the two player controlled characters thing would probably work a lot better with modern technology.

@DakonBlackblade Which RE1 remake do you mean? If you mean the one originally made for Gamecube, later ported over to PC and recent consoles then that is not the same as reimagining it in proper 3D with current graphics like what they did with RE2. I really want RE1 remade like RE2, also the other sequels

@andisart Its a frame by frame remake, mostly, but still a remake its very unlikely they'll want to remake it again before they do 3 at least. I honestly think they should do 3, Code Veronica (my fav RE game) and Zero.

I really hope it gets made, its my favorite with Nemesis being the scaries thing in RE for me.

I hope so. I already did my part with RE2R. I got the deluxe edition and the game has already become one of the best games of this gen. It is definitely in my top 5.

Consider me very enthusiastic, then!

With the reception 2 is getting, I'd be surprised if we didn't get a third.

So that's a Yes!

Cool Beer? Not quite cold. Kept in a wet sack, just below room temperature. On topic, this is the one RE game I missed before I bailed when RE5 and 6 came out. The interest for RE3 was there, but so was the Dreamcast. Missed out on some big late 5th gen games because of the DC. Hope it happens. The concept of RE3 seemed neat.

Why didn't you get RE3 on the DC ?

COKTOE COKTOE (on 29 January 2019)

I guess because its was last gen game, and I had really moved on. It's not a hard and fast rule I always stick to, but at time, going back to gen 5 games after having experienced the Dreamcast wasn't appealing. I think Code Veronica had been announced by then too, which was the RE I was hyped for.
