Opening intro
By Jacob Aron. But ripped-from-the-headlines this is not — the game is a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis , which was released for the original PlayStation in The new version has been in the works for some time, and its release in these troubled times is a complete coincidence, but one that highlights the divide we will increasingly see between pre- and post-pandemic fiction. It takes place in a spooky mansion, where police officers Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are sent to investigate a disturbance and, well, it goes very badly. At the heart of the Resident Evil series is the T-virus, a fictional infection that turns people into zombies. After puzzling your way through the mansion as either Valentine or Redfield you choose who to play as , you discover a secret, underground lab owned by the Umbrella Corporation. As the series progresses, the virus spreads through the wider population.

It changes a great deal about the original game, including mechanics and even plot points, even if it can't quite fix everything that critics complained about 20 years ago. The first thing that anyone who played the original will notice in the remaster is the completely new control system and freedom of camera movement. You play as Jill Valentine, who is attacked in the opening scene by a deadly creation known as the Nemesis. Behind every door may be a new enemy, and moments of calm could always be destroyed by the Nemesis or some other new monstrosity. It reminds you how this series redefined survival horror. And the game was always a bit knocked for being more action-based and less survival-based, which still feels true, even if it's been improved. So a relatively-brief six-hour playtime had replay value. And most of us have a lot more time in front of our TVs than we did just a couple months ago. Why not use it to kill some zombies?

A new fan project seeks to remaster the original, uncensored Resident Evil intro. This remastered intro remarkably upscales the original to 4K and 60 FPS. This allows us to witness just how insane, corny, and low-budget the intro really was. When Resident Evil was released in Japan as BioHazard , it featured a live-action intro sequence famous for its brutality, awful costumes, and even worse acting. While the bad acting and costumes made it to the Western version of the game, much of the original violence was cut. Until now, most people who wanted to watch the intro were forced to endure a poorly ripped version of it that almost never survived the upload process fully intact. While the rough nature of the footage kind of compliments how bad it is, it has been frustrating to be unable to watch the intro in its full, intended glory all these years later.
