Resident Evil 3: 16 Best Secrets You Need To Know
From whole new game modes to hidden dialogues, RE3 is full of secrets and references.
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a short game. It's recent remake, Resident Evil 3 (no Nemesis subtitle because... spoilers, I guess) has been rewritten from the ground up with a few areas and one notable boss fight hitting the cutting room floor. Despite that, enough has been added that it's equally as long and short as its predecessor.
However short the game might be, it makes up for it by being particularly dense. RE3R is filled with references to past games and movies, some of them Capcom classics and others that inspired particular games in the Resident Evil series. This game is so dense with Easter Eggs, such as the pet shop being owned by Eagle, an obscure character from the Street Fighter franchise.
There are loads of little secrets to find in the game, from simple lines of dialogue that only get said if you perform certain actions, to scenes only available on higher difficulties, to special loot that you can get for taking down the big bad at certain parts of the game.
Here are a few of the more interesting hidden events and secrets in Resident Evil 3.
16. Resident Evil 7 References
Early on in the game, we get a couple of bits of foreshadowing of Resident Evil 7 with some quite neat little easter eggs.
The most noticeable of these is the car that Jill uses to ram Nemesis from the top of the parking garage. This is Ethan's car that both he and Jack use during the garage boss fight in Resident Evil 7. Now, this may simply be a reuse of an existing asset to save time, but combining it with the other easter egg makes it clear that it's a reference.
In Jill's apartment at the start of the game, you can find a bookcase next to her bed. It's the same one that has her S.T.A.R.S. beret from the outfit she wore in the first game on it. Look over at the left of the bookcase and towards the bottom, you'll find a book about Louisiana, where Resident Evil 7 was set.
The book is covered in the same sort of black mold that created the enemies from much of that game. Jill, it seems, is not known for cleaning her apartment in the middle of an epidemic.
