That up there may be Leon from Resident Evil 2 wielding a gnarly lookin’ fight knife. Eventually that knife could have bitten one too many zombies and break, leaving ol’ Leon in a lurch. In this 12 months’s Resident Evil 3 remake, Jill and Carlos will fare a lot better with their now indestructible knives. Capcom needed you to at all times have “something you can rely on.”
“We’re dealing with survival horror and everything is exhaustible. You run out of bullets. You run out of herbs. You run out of all the items you can use,” producer Peter Fabiano informed Game Informer. “So if you did run out of everything, what would you have? The knife. The director always wanted to make it so that you at least have your trusty knife.”
Thanks to the livestream of Resident Evil 3 that Capcom ran a pair weeks again, we already knew that knives could be ditching the idea of sturdiness. Now they’re telling us the change had multiple motivation.
Aside from being a consolation blanket while you’re alone and missing bullets, Capcom say they’re conscious that some gamers need to take a step additional and deal with all of Raccoon City with simply their knives. It’s doable, Capcom confirmed. Apparently they’ve examined it within the studio and a few members of the staff have managed to finish the game sans weapons.
Knife solely is a still-popular problem and speedrun category for the unique Resident Evil and its 2002 remake however alas it isn’t potential within the Resident Evil 2 remake from final 12 months. Rest assured speedrunners, you’ll have a knife shut at hand this time round so get able to toss these clips on the bottom.
If you’ve taken half within the Resident Evil 3 demo out proper now, how’d you fare? Have you been protecting a shotgun shut at hand or dabbling in zombie knife play?
Resident Evil Three will launch via Steam on April third.
