Capcom har for nylig langt om længe løftet sløret for Resident Evil 3, endnu et ambitiøst remake af en gammel klassiker i serien, der følger i fodsporerne på Resident Evil 2, der udkom til kritisk bifald tidligere på året.
Disse to spil benytter samme RE Engine-grafikmotor, og deler naturligvis visse mekanikker, men faktisk er de langt tættere på hinanden end man skulle tro, for et nyt rygte siger, at Capcom originalt udviklede dem sammen - altså at de skulle udgives som én pakke.
I et interview med Kinda Funny fortæller tidligere Game Informer-redaktør Imran Khan, at de blev skabt til at være to dele af samme pakke.
"Talking to people who are close to Capcom, from what I understand, [RE3] and Resident Evil 2 were originally a part of one package, but it was too much work. The games were getting delayed and Resident Evil 2 was supposed to be released a year earlier than it did. So they split them up. That's why [RE3's remake] is coming so quickly."
"I think this has been worked on for three years. It was part of that initial package originally, that's why they're combining it with Project Resistance, [which was] initially another game that Capcom picked up and put the Resident Evil license on. They were like, 'well, if we can justify [RE3] coming so soon...' So they're putting it together."
Det kunne måske også forklare hvorfor det er gået så hurtigt.
