Resident Evil 3 Remake: What’s New?
From what we can gather from the trailer, the game has had a total makeover in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the characters’ looks.
In this remake, you will be able to play as both of these characters, similar to how you could play as both Claire and Leon in Resident Evil 2.
Also, in the announcement from Capcom was the big surprise confirmation that their spin-off game, Project Resistance, is actually Resident Evil 3’s multiplayer mode. So you will be able to play in the Resident Evil world with friends too in a four versus one multiplayer experience.
