About Resident Evil 3

About this game

Join Jill Valentine, the heroine and amazing survivor of the notorious disaster at the mansion, as her nightmare continues. After resigning from S.T.A.R.S. Jill now prepares to head out of Raccoon City...but it's not going to be easy. Caught in a town crawling with flesh eating zombies, more than ever she must rely on brute force and cunning to find a way to escape alive. This unique adventure intricately reveals more of Umbrella Corporation's nightmarish plot and picks up just hours before the events from Resident Evil™ 2.

The third entry in the series received the same treatment as its predecessors – we brought it back and made it the best version possible. Here's what Resident Evil™ 3 on GOG offers:

  • Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
  • 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese).
  • Mercenaries Mode included.
  • Improved DirectX game renderer.
  • New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling and more).
  • Improved graphics engine initialization and restart.
  • Improved video subtitles.
  • Improved options dialog.
  • Issue-less task switching.
  • Improved mouse cursor visibility.

Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware, hotplugging and wireless mode.

Our version of the game keeps all the original content intact – 1999's description is no exception. Take a trip down memory lane and see how Resident Evil™ 3 was described to gamers when it launched all those years ago:

FEATURES:

  • Third person perspective.
  • 3D & 2D graphics
  • Prerendered graphics
  • SCI-Fi, Horror & Zombies themes.
  • More zombies, more terror, and even more evil.
  • More challenging enemies that come back to life at any time.
  • Face off against the most terrifying mutations stalking the streets of Raccoon City.
  • More detailed character actions: Try the dodge move to avoid an enemy's attack.
  • Interact with the environment like never before: Use background objects defensively.
  • A unique new drama which reveals more details of Umbrella Corporation's devious activities from the Resident Evil series.

"Resident Evil 3 is a mostly superb remake of a horror classic with many clever spins on the formula and fluid, enthralling gameplay. I just wish there was more of it."

"Resident Evil 3’s remake might not be as surprising as REmake 2, but it is still a fun ride. If you loved the way REmake 2 used the survival horror formula, that same formula...

What a great game! The graphics, the story, the characters. All of them are fantastic. (I never played the original version of RE3 so I don't know about the cut content, but this game is fantastic. Hopefully, modders will restore that content soon.)

Buy it cheap, but do consider playing the original instead. This one does NOT replace the original

While I chose to recommend this game, I do so now that the game is cheaper than normal. At release it was obvious it was an astoundingly short game with barely any replay value. Users considering buying this should at least take a look at playing the original RE3 instead, if you can forego the graphics and the gameplay. It's "fun" enough and a bit of a spin on RE2 Remake gameplay, but for a game that was quite monumental to me. It's difficult to recommend

This game is just pure, fast-paced fun resident evil zombie action! Unfortunately it is pretty short, but id say still worth it!

Short, but pretty fun

Path
Verified purchase
It's nowhere near as long as Resident Evil 2's remake and it doesn't have the same amount of replayability, but RE3 is still a pretty fun game. I just wish there weren't so many scripted sequences.
