Read details on the game below:
Join Jill Valentine, the heroine and amazing survivor of the notorious disaster at the mansion, as her nightmare continues. After resigning from S.T.A.R.S. Jill now prepares to head out of Raccoon City… but it’s not going to be easy. Caught in a town crawling with flesh eating zombies, more than ever she must rely on brute force and cunning to find a way to escape alive. This unique adventure intricately reveals more of Umbrella Corporation’s nightmarish plot and picks up just hours before the events from Resident Evil 2.
The third entry in the series received the same treatment as its predecessors—we brought it back and made it the best version possible. Here’s what Resident Evil 3 on GOG offers:

I wish it was on emulation for PS5, I'd definitely buy it. This game is a thousand time better than the embarassing 2020 remake (that I'm so glad I didn't buy!). Still hoping for a HD remaster (after RE2 obviosuly).
There was an HD Remaster about 8 months ago lol
Imagine if they released a Classic RE collection for modern consoles. Something like Konami did for MGS and recently the Castlevania games. I already own the original RE games on PS1 but I'd still buy anyway to play it on my PS5!
fantastic game!
