The game now holds higher framerates than its PS4 Pro countrerpart during gameplay, while still drops frames in cutscenes.
"A story with a happy ending? You bet! When we first took a look at Resident Evil 3 Remake's playable, we were impressed by another storming technological showcase for Capcom's excellent RE Engine - but there was a show-stopping problem: the Xbox One X rendition of the game significantly under-performed against PlayStation 4 Pro. Indeed, in certain scenes, frame-rate could even drop beneath Xbox One S's output. The good news is that the game has been patched, delivering a huge increase to performance."
All playable March 19.
It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus
I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.
Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.
Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.
Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely
Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.
Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.
I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.
Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog
I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).
Resident Evil 3 Remake is one of the most debated games in Capcom’s survival horror series, but it’s just as good as the remake of Resident Evil and 2019’s RE2.
It’s a good game, but a terrible Remake.
I would choose the original over this Remake any day of the week. More areas, more enemies, more bosses, choice options, better unlockables, and I could go on and on.
If you go into this Remake as it’s own game and not compare it to what it’s, uh, Remaking, then yea it’s a solid game.
But I do not consider the Remake portion of this game to be “good,” like at all.
The remake was inferior to RE2R in everyway capcom even said the B team made it the physics was so dumbed down it was such a big disappointment the A team that made RE2 was busy making RE4R
And the whole idea of Nemesis "looking for you" was ripped off entirely making this Remake more than a knock off lol
Didn't Capcom themselves
say the same thing that they will improve Quality and make Remake Lengthy or something along the same lines because RE3R was not received as good as RE2R critically
Not only that they literally snatched the RE4 off them and restarted development within the main team. That’s how bad the fallout was.
They tried to be cheap and it blew up in their face
It makes me super sad to think of how amazing RE3 could have been
We could have had hubs within the city to explore, to fully experience the Raccoon City downfall in all its glory…but they rushed it.
Sure it was scripted quite a bit but I enjoyed it. Really good replayability as well.
When I look back at re2 re4 and re4 remakes to which I beat all of them at launch. Re3 is the one I recall having more fun more of the time. Re2 and re4 get over stressful on harder difficulties.
Re4 remake was also great, but I liked re3 remake better
I can't comment on the "remake" aspect as I never played 3, didn't like tank controls even back then.
But as far as the remake goes as a game, I've got like 40 hours in it and played it far more then the 2 remake. I absolutely enjoyed the combat engine and dodge mechanic.
I gotta agree with the replay value of the game. Despite the cut areas it still feels like you’re going through more areas than RE2 remake. That and the Nemesis isn’t as annoying as the Tyrant.
lol you can beat the game in under 3 hours on your first thorough and under 45 mins on your second without even trying to rush. The game has less content then some demos.
If you look up playtime you can see most people beat it between 3-5 hours on the first playthrough and the trophy for sprinter which is beat the game in under 2 hours is a high percentage trophy compared to any other speed run trophies. So no I won’t change what I said. I’d wager with the infinite rpg you could get that even lower then 45 mins. My actual save says 57 mins
@BlackTar187
You can beat a lot of games in under 3 hours as a speed runner. Who cares.
Average time play through says about 6 hours, but for full completion it says 20 1/2 hours. First time through for me I took my time and took about 8 hours. Then again I’m not trying to race through the game. That’s about the same time for RE2 remake for a first time through, which even with multiple paths doesn’t have much extra content outside any given run.
Let's discuss why the highly acclaimed Resident Evil Remakes are some of the best video game remakes of this generation.
4 was great... but missed some things. But still, the RE remakes have been some of the best remakes.
2 was good, but 3 and 4 were phoned in. I suppose 1 out 3 successes is the new standard. This is why publishers get away with so much.
Wow. So more available power does make it run better when optimized. Who’d have thunk it. Great job DF, i think i’ll get this for my OneX when it goes on sale in a month or two
I almost pull the trigger and bought RE3 for my PS4 Pro the other day. This patch seems to make the XB1X run faster in fps in gameplay and DF said it look a bit better too. I am switching my purchase for the XB1 version. I didn't expect the patch to be out this fast.
My initial reason for wanting the disc version of RE3 remake for the XB1 is that the the 4k code is embedded in the disc already so I can install it on the next gen XSX console offline and it'll still keep the 4K resolution plus of course locked 60fps. The PS4 version is coded as 1620p on disc so even if it can be locked 60fps on the PS5, the resolution will remain at 1620p.
They halved the resolution so it's basically the same as PS4 Pro with slightly better anti aliasing, now it runs the same 60FPS.
I gotta say that console versions of games nowadays are so much better than they used to be and we are kinda spoiled in a good way. I remember when console versions had gameplay removed (shadow of mordor ps3 ver without Nemesis system; gta 1 on ps1 didn't have the train) , glaring graphical shortcomings (extreme aliasing, low detail assets). And here we are discussing resolution differences that most of us won't notice unless we are 5cm from the TV screen or playing with 800 pct zoom ala digital foundry.
