Resident Evil 3 Remake: EVERY Major Change & Missing Feature

Clock Tower Cut

Original:

This might just be one of, if not the most important location Jill visits whilst she is embarking on her Last Escape. It is her way of escaping Raccoon City before it is destroyed, where she is infected with the T-Virus by Nemesis and frankly the focus of most of the 3rd instalment.

When all else fails, this was the last chance of escape for the U.B.C.S.

After Nemesis shoots down Jill’s chance of escape they are finally forced to go one on one, this has cemented the Clock Tower for most players as the location of the game. Resident Evil 1 has the Spencer Mansion, 2 has the Raccoon City Police Department and Clock Tower is the definitive place of 3.

Remake:

In the 2020 reimagining of Resident Evil 3, the Clock Tower is nothing more than a nice backdrop for a fight with Nemesis and something that fans of the original will remember. This is kind of a major disappoint for the Remake as by basically cutting the games most iconic location, Capcom have cut some of the heart from Jill’s time to shine.

Not only that, but it seriously harms the run time of Resident Evil 3 Remake, Capcom didn’t replace this location at all and for some gives the feel as if this game was rushed to market. This also means that the fight with Nemesis has fewer stakes to it overall. It is just another fight and not a climactic ending to the first half of the game.

If Capcom put the Clock Tower in this game then it might’ve quelled a lot of negative reception the Remake has received. You can’t just move these plot points to the hospital with a shootout and hope for the best.
