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.

  • 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.

Playing it brought back some memories of my childhood when I played the first version of PS1, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is incredible. It's a very good game, but it's too short, but that doesn't mean it's worth buying.

There's an achievement for beating the game in record time which should encourage repeated play but if you're not looking to speedrun or memorize this for streaming and just want to get a great REmake experience, you'll be done with it in no time. Outside of a couple of neat weapons and outfits, there's no incentive to try to beat your rank other than personal pride. It's very short which is a shame since the game is gorgeous and the characters are interesting and it would've been nicer to have more of it. RE2 and RE4 doesn't suffer from this as much.

Its a fun game. having played the original RE3 on the ps2 it was nice to revisit in a modern day experience. Sure not everything is 1:1 to the original but thats ok. i highly recommend this title if you enjoy classic horror and puzzles aswell well as diverse enemies and action.

WAY better than I had been led to believe. For fans of the original, AMAZING, for newcomers, you get a great game. Consider everything NEW to the game amazing, the only faults I have with RE 3 remake are things present in the original being: 1. Terrible difficulty pacing/balance, you'll understand when you get to the Hunters. 2. Overall short game length. I did a completion with Jill, no guide or memory of the game, as a low-skill gamer, in about 6-7 hours, most people will probably only take 4-5 hours. For true fans there is a second character story that is slightly different and other modes and difficulties, so at any price you will get your money's worth but I recommend getting this one for a good sale, if you feel burned out after one playthrough you won't feel like you lost any money.

Wonderful addition to the library
Verified purchase
I bought this game on sale through Fanatical and it has become one of the latest and most exciting additions to my 800+ title long list of games that I think I will someday play in my Steam library. It's in good company alongside retro Capcom and Genesis game bundles, "early access" indy titles in varying degrees of completion, Resident Evil Village, and so many more.
