Critics praised the game's detailed graphics and Nemesis as an intimidating villain, but some criticized its short length. It also introduces Nemesis, a creature that periodically pursues the player throughout the game and that was inspired by the T-1000 Terminator from the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.Īccompanied by a major marketing campaign, Resident Evil 3 received very positive reviews from critics and sold more than three million copies worldwide. It was designed to have a more action-oriented gameplay than its predecessors and features a larger number of enemies for the player to defeat. Resident Evil 3 was developed concurrently with Resident Evil – Code: Veronica and was originally conceived as a spin-off featuring a different protagonist, before being promoted as the last numbered Resident Evil game for the PlayStation. Choices through the game affect how the story unfolds and which ending is achieved. The game uses the same engine as its predecessors and features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds with fixed camera angles. The player must control former elite agent Jill Valentine as she escapes from a city that has been infected by a virus. It is the third game in the Resident Evil series and takes place almost concurrently with the events of Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a 1999 survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation.
