Resident Evil 3 Changed Nemesis to Have RE4 Connection

Capcom highlights a change made to Nemesis in the Resident Evil 3 remake that connects the monster directly with the plot of Resident Evil 4.

Well that's just dumb in my opinion. Nothing about nemesis even matches with the las plagas virus.

The info in the document actually makes a lot of sense, and is one of the few changes to the game I liked.

Guessing you haven't played the remake then...

I thought this was just for the multiplayer non canon Nemesis

Anyway it’s stupid considering they don’t even know the plagal exists, so why didn’t Umbrella or even Wesker nab the master plagas sample earlier

Could have written the plagas out of the story and they go the other way

But the NE-a (Nemesis-Alpha) parasite was from the original game as Nemesis was always a Tyrant that had an infused parasite for higher intelligence and ability to utilize the weapons, so it is a simple tie in to RE4 and a very sensible one at that.

"We wanted NE-a infected enemies to be visually similar to the Plagas-infected Ganados as a means for fans to piece together how Nemesis fits within the whole Resident Evil franchise."

Really this seems like a very natural tie in that I am shocked didn't pop up in some way throughout RE4 since Nemesis even in the original RE3 still had the same T Visrus / NE-a Parasitic tampering.

Yeah but the whole point of Resident Evil 4 was that Wesker wanted the Plagas because it was better than whatever shit they were using oiginally.

To say they were always using the plagas implies they already ran sacked the village in RE4, got the plagas and the like. So why would Wesker send Ada in to steal a sample when he could probably make it easier and get her to steal something from an Umbrella lab.

It's just a shitty retcon that makes no sense, I mean it's set 6 years after RE3 Nemesis, God knows what the village or plagas was like during those times, hell they were just breaking into bioweapons, not that advanced to go deeper with brand new parasites found in the middle of Europe.

"Anyway it's stupid"

The logic of the resident evil plot since it's inception

[NovusTerminus]

The NE-a parasite is not technically the Plagas, which is far stronger (Saddler and Mendez where able to be infected and retain full intelligence) Unlike the NE-a which as far as they are saying is not the Plagas, but an variant of.

"Nemesis Alpha, or the "NE-α Type" was a parasitic species genetically-engineered by Umbrella Europe. Though useless for its physical capacity as a B.O.W., the Nemesis Project staff created this species as a work-around for brain damage and mental degradation, a common result of t-Virus infection"

"The NE-a parasite in Resident Evil 3 was created by Umbrella to mimic the Plagas parasite from Resident Evil 4."

"The inspiration of the project was that of Las Plagas, a parasitic species present in regional Spanish folklore "

It's not that they had the Plagas, they bio engineered a supplement and then in RE4 had a shot to get the real thing so they dispatched Ada to gather it.

Did they make him that notoriously scripted to fit in with the walking statues in Re4, too?

This is just confirmation that these remakes were indeed a softboot of the franchise.

Come on people, these companies are remaking the our lovely games. It is ok to reimagining things to make it better and well connected. I mean in old days games were simpler, the idea of sequels weren't well developed yet and we can feel it, I mean RE1 was different from RE2, and both hardly have connection except "same problem and sharing the same enemy with different heroes". Even RE4 was different. I am saying that because it happened for VII Remake but more obvious way and it is cool to experience altered elements. If I want original we still have the PS1 version ported. Enjoy for what you have, at least they are listening and remaking the games, which far better than Konami or Mega Man Legend developers who have been ignoring the fans since ever.
