10 Intense Video Game Horror Chase Sequences

8. Nemesis - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Umbrella's S.T.A.A.A.A.A.R.S-hunting bioweapon demands an honourable mention, not just for serving as the template for half of those nightmarish abominations featured on this list, but for managing to maintain even an ounce of its once-fearsome reputation in a decades-old game. Resident Evil 3's archaic visuals make it near-to impossible to consider Nemesis scary in 2020, but he sure as hell demands respect.

No matter how many times Jill puts him down, the Tyrant will always come back: it's a matter of how well prepared you are when the time inevitably comes that keeps the heart beating.

Low on ammo? Herb supplies scarce? Deciding on-the-fly whether to face the brute of high-tail it in the other direction is Resident Evil in its purest form. If Capcom can replicate that satisfying loop and make Nemesis instil fear in the remake, we're in for one wild ride come April.

Don't worry: there's still time to stock up on adult nappies.
