Resident Evil 3 (Remake)

I remember when I first played this game when it came out, I knew something was off when I saw the opening cutscene with mostly live action and some computer graphics. It still doesn’t feel like any kind of artistic use but rather some sort of laziness. First time it made me think more of the movies which I don't really care for so it was a rough start for the game. Adding insult to injury I noticed there’s a document you find that talks all about the clock tower and explains why it is the way it was in the original game. Seems like maybe they meant to have it in the game but cut it out at the last minute? I’d really love to know what happened behind the scenes. The game is a fun game but as a fan it’s still heartbreaking to play and have my favorite part cut out of the game and teased with a document talking about it. Also it seems weird that they go to the police department without having Jill join them. I get it’s part of the sketchy backstory of the UBCS but it just feels like a logic loophole that exists that is never explained. I would say upon getting to the end I do appreciate the character chemistry built in the remake more and even though my favorite ending where Barry saves Jill is omitted it kind of makes more sense this way. This was probably my fifth time playing this remake and it is definitely one I will play again in the future because it is still a fun game at the end of the day. If anything I kind of envy anyone who plays it who didn’t play the original because I feel knowledge of what’s missing is the main drawback in this one. It’s a great game besides all that. 


I would say I still think, even though it is definitely too late for this, BUT Capcom can be different and lead the charge in making a much needed DLC way after a game comes out and just make a DLC that lets you play in the clocktower.  Even if it's just playing some side mission with Carlos, like have it be a prelude to the main story like maybe it's an area that UBCS set up base at but then all goes wrong and you see why it can't be used anymore.  The clocktower with all its art and vibe would be so cool to see in the RE Engine.  Just a thought.
