I hope a Director’s Cut mod of some kind does come to fruition one day, this game still has potential that Capcom simply cannot recognize. Even during the reveal, they mismarketed this game as a campaign portion to Resistance, like WTF? Not only did that confuse consumers, that only gave the game a measly 4 months to build up hype as opposed to REmake 2 which had about 7 months + the 14 years of speculation after REmake released in 2002.
Releasing it in 2020 was also a poor choice for obvious reasons, Capcom could of easily delayed the game another year along with RE8 to add more meaningful content. RE6’s backlash has caused Capcom to look at all this the wrong way. It wasn’t the amount of content that was the problem, it was the QUALITY. REmake 3 has good content, just not enough of it.
So by the end of the day, REmake 3 is a lite version of one of RE6’s campaigns and a competent action game for what it is. Fans wanted different but Capcom can do whatever they want in the end and tell us to kick rocks. Screaming from the hilltops that this was literally a 2/10 will make people not take your criticisms seriously, as REmake 2 also shares the same issues and isn’t a 1:1 remake either.
I guess that game is a 2/10 as well for not having proper B scenarios, no Ada theme, changing the Ivy design, no crows or spiders, reimagining the sewer and lab areas, cutting the Marshalling yard, removing iconic cutscenes or changing them entirely, less interaction between Leon and Claire, no Battle Game mode, a weaker OST overall, changing character personalities, missing items such as the lighter and crossbow, making Marvin dumb and not mentioning the mansion incident, retconning Outbreak series events by changing dates and altering the geography of the city, etc.
