Soundtrack - 10/10, they stayed completely faithful to the original and it was clear the original sound team was present. Did miss the escape themes and “Feel The Tense” but aside from that they knocked it out of the park especially with “Free From Fear” & “The City Of Ruin”
Cut Areas - My biggest gripe with the game was cutting areas like The Dead Factory and replacing with things like Nest 2. What made the original so special was a different ending backdrop than previous titles, 3Make lost that individuality by just reusing the Nest design.
MORE CUT AREAS - Cutting The Dead Factory was forgivable although boring, but losing places like The Clock Tower Park & Graveyard isn’t. Places that had so much familiarity to fans and also huge potential for the remake completely wiped with little nod. Left a HUGE empty space.
Nemesis - LOVED the first hour and a half being chased by this big fucker, was just like old times. However, I did miss the tense build up for the first meeting and felt he came too soon at the start of the game, there was no tension to build on just action from the off.
Nemesis metamorphosis’s - WAY too rushed compared to the original, lost all of his personality when he transformed into, a giant licker? Would of been fine for the second to last fight but shouldn’t of happened as early as it did. Didn’t feel like Nemmy for much of the later game
Carlos - My FAVOURITE RE character from the originals and they fleshed him out better than I could of imagined. Loved the expansion on his story and mission, I can’t praise this change highly enough. Easily my favourite segments of the game involved him!
UBCS - All very bit part in the remake including Nicholai, with the exception of Carlos and Tyrell. Tyrell was my third favourite character and i didn’t know how much I wanted more of him in the game until it happened. Mikhail/Nicholai cool but downgraded massively. Murphy = LOL
Final boss fight - It was good, but way too action movie orientated. The original was intense, but having Jill pick up a giant rail gun this time and then blow the Xenomorph, I mean Nemesis apart looked pretty ridiculous after the momentary novelty had worn off. Still cool though
Puzzles, or lack of - What made the original so good was the puzzles, as much as I HATE the water sample puzzle I missed it. Seeing City Halls puzzle return slightly was cool but it was only optional. One of the biggest departures from the original to the remake is obvious here.
Jill Valentine - No complaints on her character whatsoever, just as good and so easy to root for still. Still the same likeable girl from previous entries who can FUCK shit up with some added one liners. So happy they left her famous “You want STARS” line in. Very faithful
Brad Vickers - Good character development but much preferred the original. Retconned well considering he doesn’t appear in 2 now which helps continuity but I’ll always prefer Nemesis taking him out over Carlos. Goes out like a hero but that’s not the Brad we have ever known.
Return to the RPD - Sad we didn’t get to see Nemesis here busting the locker room wall or Jill return, but seeing Carlos explore and finally finding out how Marvin got infected and the licker cop died more than made up for it. One of the best parts of the game for me easily.
Monsters - FINALLY seeing a licker and hunter appear in the same game from the original trilogy after all these years is such a pay off. Zombies the terrifying norm, not enough Deimos, gammas were great but very alike to g’s from 2. Not many complaints on this front
Missing monsters - Very disappointed to not see Spiders or crows, but was sure we would see the Grave Digger. As essential to 3 as the alligator was to 2. Strange considering I’m sure I heard crows at certain points in game? These were all huge misses and a big detractor for me.
RC - No atmosphere whatsoever compared to the original, didn’t feel like a small mid western town anymore but a very modern commercial place to live instead. Hoped the zombies would take over but never did. Maybe the biggest but most rushed part, sadly missed key environments.
Dario - Gets his own part in this thread. Wished we saw more of his family or what happened to him, BUT maybe the most faithful part of the entire game line for line with such limited interaction. Loved what we saw of him and leaves room hopefully for Ghost Survivor DLC
