Despite various rumors that Capcom would announce aResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake at E3 2019, it turned out to be one of the12 big missing games from E3. The absence thereof has been felt by many fans of the horror franchise, but theResident Evil 3Seamless High Def Project (abbreviated as RE3SHDP) has been working on improving the original game.
Improvements include, but are not limited to, upscaled backgrounds with vectorized masks, restored integrated texts, upscaled 3D model textures, manually edited in-game screens, improved visual effects, and upscaled menu elements (with the latter having the exception of the inventory which proved to be impossible). Of course, despite all of this, it doesn’t live up to the quality of theResident Evil 2remake, but this is likely as close as fans ofResident Evil 3: Nemesisare going to get for the time being.
To install the RE3SHDP mod, visit themain project page here.Resident Evil 3fans will then need to download the file, which comes with a custom version of Dolphin, a popular Gamecube emulator. Once the download is complete, extract the Zip file, open Dolphin.exe, select the folder with the game ISO, configure the controller, and then play this upgraded version ofResident Evil 3: Nemesis.
However, it is worth highlighting that this mod does not come with the ISO, meaning players will need to rip a Gamecube version to legitimately play. This is likely to be unfortunate for many who do not have the ISO, but it is understandable on the part of RE3SHDP.
That caveat aside, it is a major step-up that will live players wanting a trueResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake, and while an announcement at E3 2019 did not occur, that does not mean all hope is lost. It could just be that Capcom is taking the extra time for its next remake to live up to the expectations of its last, and it’s even worth mentioning that there’s another mod that addsJill Valentine and Nemesis toResident Evil 2in an effort to show how a remake ofResident Evil 3could look.
TheResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
