It's fair to say that the reaction to Resident Evil 2 has been overwhelmingly positive. A staggeringly good remake of a classic horror title, it's been another hit for Capcom. However, without fan demand, it may never have happened, and the publisher says further remakes will ultimately start with requests from players.
Speaking with Japanese publication Game Watch, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, a producer on Resident Evil 2, was asked about the possibility of a remake for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Though we don't have an exact quote, rough translation finds that fans will need to speak up if they want more remakes. If a Resi 3 remake is what everyone wants, you'll need to badger Capcom, just as with RE2. While not a confirmation of anything, it seems the publisher is open to the idea of redoing more titles in the series if the desire is there from fans.

Resident Evil 3 would be awesome.
Hate it when publishers do this but... Let's go Resident Evil 3. Then Resident Evil 4...
I think Capcom know what we all want now but referring to Push Square RE2 sales article earlier, its not entirely accurate that it didn't sell better than RE7 it sold only 18% fewer physical than RE7 but GFX Chart-Track does not count digital sales which of course have risen alot year on year since RE7's release 2 years ago, also RE7 got released on a Tuesday in the UK giving it 3 more days in sales. I think RE2 probably outperformed RE7 all things considered
nobody cares about resi 3 in the grand scheme of things. a remake will never happen. there are only a few special games in a respected franchise that garner the enthusiasm of a resi 2... the other was resi 1 which has already been remade and remastered. resi 4 is the other jewel in the resi franchise but it doesn't need an all out remake in the way resi 2 did... they can spend more time remastering it i suppose (better textures, models and details), but otherwise, the game is good as is. no, it is time to move on to resi 8 people.
I’m just curious if they would follow this same approach if more fans expressed interest in a Dino Crisis 1/2 reboot/remake. That’s what I’m hoping Capcom does but I’m not holding my breath
As long as it's given similar attention to the Resi 2 remake, then absolutely.
I think it's great we're getting so many top quality remakes over the past couple years. There's plenty of originality and new IP too elsewhere and it just makes for a much more diverse line up of games available. More please, devs/pubs!
Resident Evil 3 please.
It would be great to have modern reimaginings of all the games. 3 was never a favourite of mine but I'd still like to see it happen. Code Veronica however...
I'm up for it, especially if future remakes get the love and attention to detail similar to the RE2 remake.
@Alexface
No I actually never completed RE3 (completed CV on Dreamcast many times though) but I love the Raccoon City street setting so much and felt there wasn't enough of it in RE2, you get to the RPD way too quickly for me so for that reason I'd very much look forward to a R3make
@Porco
Yes, I think Capcom should at least wait with 3 and instead remake Code Veronica as it has a much better story IMO, and also have the weakest graphics of the "old style" Resident Evils (4 is not overly dated now IMO and thus shouldn't be remade right now).
Resident evil 3 remake??? TAKE MY MONEY!!!
@d_philly33 Agreed, but I'm worried that Dino Crisis doesn't have the same brand recognition that Resident Evil does. There's a guaranteed amount of sales just by putting that over-saturated name on the box, but a large percentage of today's gamers won't have even heard of Dino Crisis.
@RogerRoger
Yes I got Dino Crisis on day one but it never really got much traction as a series, Maybe if Dino Crisis 3 was a hit it might have done though
capcom should of remade all 1st 3 entries of RE games and sold it for $60. Like crash and Spyro that’s the way should of gone
Remake on 3,code veronica,4, and dead aim
I hope Capcom do the right thing and release Nemesis as DLC for Resident Evil 2 then Remake Code Veronica and title it as the true Resident Evil 3 without Sony breathing down their necks this time.
Well, might be best to with Resident Evil 8. But if Cap wants to do another remake, go with Code Veronica.
Never played Resi 3 so I’d definitely buy a remake.
Honestly I think 3 and Code Veronica are the only remaining games that need remade. 1 and 2 have gotten remakes, and Zero and 4 still play just fine.
I would like Resi 3. But really, Resi 8 is where it’s at. Come on Capcom, show me what you got.
I've never played Resi 3, so I'd love that.
Give us Breath of Fire I-IV while you're at it Capcom. I don't ask for much.
I believe they should Remake 3, CV, and Outbreak (1+2)
a lot of people didnt like outbreak but I believe it was because of the time of it's release as not everyone had the online adapter for the PS2 so if they were to bring it to modern consoles then the online aspect can work perfectly since online gaming is more common on consoles now compared to back then.
@Worlock_ed I dont think that'll happen the more i think about it since RE3 only had a small portion of it take place in the RPD while the rest was in the streets of raccoon city then the clock tower. I honestly believed this would happen but after playing RE2 i see that it wouldnt work because of the mass file it would be probably a 25+GB update/DLC file
@Morenoj1220 that just wouldn't have worked unfortunately. Capcom remade RE2 from the ground up and changing how the core game works mechanically, which took them years to do it. If they had to do the same with 1 and 3 we would still be waiting for them to be released. Crash and spyro still have the same core mechanics of their respective games so would have been easier to do
Mr X is absolutely terrifying in the remake, so I can only imagine what they would do with Nemesis. Definitely will take an RE3 remake, then how about a Dino Crisis remake as well? That game deserves it.
I really want a Dragon's Dogma remake but Resi 3 will suffice.
@RogerRoger sadly not, which is too bad because the first one was a great horror game and the second was a great action spin on the series but still had elements of horror incorporated. I’m glad I can still play them on my ps3 lol
I agree with previous posts on here. Remake 3 then Code Veronica. No interest in a Resi 4 remake to be honest.
Also Resi 8 would be cool.
I will keep quiet then
Would be nice if they'd told us where to make noise.
Facebook?
Capcom Unity?
Where, Capcom?
WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?!??!
Resident evil 2 remake is such an amazing suprise the game is sooo goood!!! Resident evil 3 or resident evil 4 would be a awesome to have remasterd!!! Thanks CapCom
But.. I thought there was a zombie game 'fatigue'?
Oh OK. That was just for Days Gone which doesn't even have real zombies...
I think its great for the fans, no worries..
Resident Evil 3 should be relatively easy to remake now as much is already in place from Resident Evil 2, my only concern would be how similar it might end up being to 2. Code Veronica would take much longer but may well be a better candidate in the long run
@Porco Please
@RedMageLanakyn Dino Crisis i loved both games part 3 never happend.
@Flaming_Kaiser
@Flaming_Kaiser Yeah....we don't talk about part 3 hahaha!
Dino Crisis please.
s.t.a.r.s word up son
I'd love to have resident evil 3 remade. I've never played any of the other resident evils before revelations. I trust the people who have played them that say it's really good and so I'm on board.
RE4 would be a day one for me.
I'll take Resi 3 followed by Code Veronica X and then Resi 4.
The best games of my childhood including this.
Oh and Dino Crisis 1 and 2 and maybe Capcom can buy the rights to Eternal Darkness and we finally get a sequel to that. But one can dream
3 is my fav Resi so yes please
I'd really like a remake of Code Veronica, personally. It always felt more like the real RE3 to me.
Surely the fans are speaking with their wallets already that should be a sign we want more classic survival horror with a fresh coat of paint. Would love a Resi 3 remake or a remake of the REAL Resi 3 aka Code Veronica
After 0,1 and now 2 I think they should give the zombies a break and move on to the Dino's.
It looks amazing but I over played the original so much I cant really justify paying full price for the game. I will definitely pick it up when its on a flash sale or discounted.
@b1ackjack that would never happen it will be it’s own release.
Resi 2 will always be my favourite but as much as I loved Nemesis id much prefer Code Veronica Remake first.
Resi 3 & Code Veronica, and then that will be enough.
Then Resi 8!!
Currently 36.99 for Resi 2 in Argos for those interested. Would be all over that if i hadnt just ordered Yakuza Kiwami 2 and the fact i am playing through Kingdom Hearts 3
Also, i would love a remake of 3. I love that game. But for the love of all that is good Capcom, get rid of that valve puzzle!!!!
I would like to see Resident Evil 3 as a Remake.
Dino Crisis would be awesome, let's be real, when was the last time we actually had a good dinosaur game?
On a side note, imagine if we got a polished open world dinosaur themed rpg with good gameplay? I think that'd be f ing awesome 🔥
@Porco ewww remastering RE 3 Nemesis for PS4, PS5, Xbox one and Xbox 2 beside PC from ps1 version. You are out of your mind.. fans want RE 3 Nemesis using RE engine with beautiful graphic like RE 2 Remake.. SMH
I feel Resi 3 would feel to similar to Resi 2 to this generation (of gamers) but it would be welcome. I'd prefer Resi 1 with remake 2 gameplay and production. Or onimusha.
dino crisis remake now!
Playing RE 2 remake was like waves of nostalgia hitting you from all sides. I was overwhelmed playing this game . What gamers want nowadays is exactly this , i.e. a large serving of nostalgia. I really hope and wish that a remake of Resident Evil 1 , Resident Evil 3 Nemesis and Resident Evil 4 materializes. Thank you CAPCOM for bringing this game back into our life .
Please Capcom, give me RE3 Remake. Oh and Nemesis > Tyrant.
I'm excited for the remake of Resident Evil Remake.
Resident evil 3 would be a awesome remastered idea but don't forget code veronica
Could you just make the OG Resident Evil 1 easily available on modern consoles instead? Thanks.
I'd like to see the original RE get remade in the RE2 remake style.
@Cheski
Me too. Just make it look a bit like the Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5.
Re3 remake please. Just maybe increase gameplay time and replayability by introducing something new. Doesn't need to be an exact replica.
@Porco Sorry i meant Dino Crisis 3 i didnt define what i meant. 😁
@RedMageLanakyn I meant Dino Crisis 3. 😜
@get2sammyb I don't think re4 needs a remake. It has been ported into a lot of newer consoles with updated graphics. What's the point of remaking it if they are gonna keep remastering it for future consoles and updating graphics? Re4 has been "modern" and "remade" enough.
@sivathegamer Well, I don't think Capcom is gonna remake re4. The reason I'm saying this is because re4 has been ported to a lot of newer consoles with updated graphics. What's the point of remaking it if they are gonna keep remastering it for future consoles and updating graphics? Re4 is perfect as it is. You can't remake perfection lol. And besides re4 has been modern enough and it would be a waste of time and a lot of money. I believe the only games that needs to be remade is 3, cvx, Gaiden, Survivors, End of Umbrella, and Operation Javier
The only re games I want Capcom to remake is just Re3, CVX, Gaiden, Survivors, End of Umbrella and Operation Javier. Re4 does NOT need a remake. The reason re4 don't need a remake is because it has been ported to a lot of newer consoles with updated graphics recently. Also, re4 has been ported to Nintendo Switch I think a few months ago. So what's the point of Capcom remaking it if they are gonna keep remastering it for future consoles and updating the graphics? Not trying to burst anyone's bubble but I'm just saying that re4 don't need a remake.
@Dange Exactly and what's the point of remaking it if Capcom is gonna keep remastering it for future consoles with updated graphics? Re4 just came to Nintendo switch a few months ago. If re4 really needs a remake, Capcom would have stopped remastering it for current and next gen consoles a long time ago.
@shgamer Well re4 don't need a remake at all. Re4 had been ported to a lot of newer consoles recently including Nintendo switch. Capcom should leave re4 as it is if they are gonna keep remastering it and remastering it for future consoles. If they wanted to remake it, re4 wouldn't have been on the wii, ps3, ps4, xbox 360, xbox one and Nintendo switch
@StephanEvil You're probably right. It has never been one of my true favs in the series, but it still has the second best villain in 'Lord "suffer severe consequences" Saddler', after Wesker.
