The first Resident Evil 3 remake gameplay is short, but shows off a new dodge mechanic
The Resident Evil 3 remake is official, and though we got a lovely new trailer to showcase the game’s modern look, it’s not quite the same as raw gameplay. To make the wait for the Resident Evil 3 release date a bit more bearable, Capcom has provided a ‘special developer message’ video, which includes a bit of straight gameplay footage.
The clip shows Jill Valentine running through Raccoon City streets, just as you’d expect from the early bits of RE3. It looks a lot like the excellent Resident Evil 2 remake, but there’s one additional detail fans have noted - the bit where Jill dodges out of the way of an incoming zombie attack.
We’ll have to wait and see exactly how it works, but it looks like a button press to trigger a quick juke - and that’s a notable bit of athleticism to have in a survival horror game. The original RE3 introduced a dodge mechanic with the old tank controls, though that was a timing-based parry tied to specific enemy attacks. This dodge appears to come out well before the zombie makes contact.
