Capcom: ‘Resident Evil 3’ is a “Finished Product”, With No Post-Launch Content
Those hoping for Capcom to give those fans of the Resident Evil 3 remake a few extra goodies in the form of postlaunch content are unfortunately out of luck, according to Capcom’s Peter Fabiano.
In an interview with Siliconera, Fabiano stated that the RE3 remake is “a finished product”, with no future additions. Of course, that’s not all of the interview. Fabiano also talks about the feedback Capcom has received from fans in regards to the game, saying that the developer is pleased with the results. “We do our best to please as many people as possible, while staying on vision and creating the game the team wants to make. In the end, we were able to create the product we set out to, and we are proud of the results.”
Elsewhere, Fabiano reveals that RE3 was in development for about three years, which would put it near the end of the Resident Evil 2 remake’s production. “The teams worked independently for the most part, but there was certainly some knowledge sharing as well as sharing ideas, certain technologies and RE Engine.” This goes along with Fabiano’s statement that the RE3 team tried to differentiate Nemesis from RE2‘s Mr. X, saying, “[w]e did our best to make Nemesis into something special and differentiate him from Tyrant”.
Of course, just because RE3 is a done deal, that doesn’t mean that the pack-in title, Resident Evil Resistance, is complete. The asymmetrical multiplayer game still has a roadmap to follow, with an update coming later this month.
Resident Evil 3 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
