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.

This is an extremely half-baked game that throws away almost all unique features of the original title in order to become a glorified Resident Evil 2 DLC. This game is NOTHING like the Resident Evil 2 remake. It is a below-average game on its own merits, and as a remake of one of the greatest games ever made, it is an abject failure. While I did enjoy some things in the last third of this game, unless you are a RE completionist, I don't think there's anything worthwhile here for the average player.

This would be first RE game I played so my impressions of this game are too subjective and good but there are things that all players should agree on. The concept of crafting and collecting things is great, I like how interface is designed. There is lot of action, different type of enemies and main boss Nemesis is amusing. Usually, I don't like it when enemy keep appearing all the time, bothering me and preventing me from enjoying the game, but Nemesis is legend. Moving to what could have been better. Game is a little too short. Maybe a few more parts and locations to go. And aiming before shooting. I come from FPS games where aiming isn't necessary to shoot, but here, you can't shoot unless you aim first. In situations where fast reactions and reflexes are crucial, I get scared and confused, causing me to lose time trying to remember to aim instead of just shooting and taking out the target. All in all, I recommend this game to all fans of horror or action, it is a great way to try something new and different.

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

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.
