Ah, 1998, a time when a horrible pandemic ravaging the world with corrupt corporations and mad reactionary governments failing to handle it was just escapist fantasy! Jill is at this point has become a cop so hard boiled, she could be served with sausage, beans and toast. Jill Valentine, a police officer and now grizzled veteran of Resident Evil, wakes up to find Raccoon City turned into a metropolis of slavering zombles by the thoroughly irresponsible Umbrella Corporation. Resident Evil 3 takes us back to an alternate 1998. Now with the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake to compliment the release of last year’s Resident Evil 2 Remake, I can finally enjoy the story of the third entry in the original trilogy with the blessed ability to step gently backwards when firing on a crowd of zombies who want to nibble on my face.
To summarize Resi’s old “tank controls” for younger viewers: they had supposedly athletic young protagonists trundling around with the grace of a dilapidated Winnebago, forcing you to stand perfectly still and slowly rotate on the spot when shooting at a crowd of zombies, like some sort of suicidal ballerina. I’ll admit it: I’m a big fan of Resident Evil 4 onwards, but I find it hard to go back to the ones before that because the old fashioned “tank” controls feel painfully cumbersome and dated compared with the smoothness and precision of modern over-the-shoulder shooters.
