After teasing a demo for Resident Evil 3 Remake at the end of February, Capcom has officially confirmed that the demo will be releasing this Thursday on March 19 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Players will finally get the opportunity to get a taste of what's to come once the full game releases and re-experience the classic with a modern engine and game mechanics.
For those who have played the original version of the game, or even those who played through Resident Evil 2, they know what kind of place Raccoon City truly is. As such, the PlayStation Blog website has offered a few tips on how to prepare oneself for the demo and how to essentially survive its enemies.
First, according to the website, running around carelessly will only end in disaster due to the amount of zombies players will encounter. As such, it's best to take things slow in order to avoid running into a group of zombies (unless it's Nemesis who the website teased might very well be in the demo).
Second, a desperate situation will most likely pay off if players analyze their surroundings and plan an escape route. Additionally, players' surroundings will allow them to use the environment to their advantage in the form of red explosive barrels and other hazards. However, according to the post, "Sometimes it’s best to leave an explosive barrel or stunning electrical box where it is to use later," possibly suggesting that players will traverse the same area multiple times and that the hazards are a one-time-only object.
Finally, it's best to manage one's resources wisely. Of course, given the nature of Resident Evil games, making every bullet count would be an understatement. As a result of that, managing things like ammunition, healing, and more will go a long way in regards to progress, survival, and getting to the end of the demo (and full game as well).
Aside from the demo, Capcom has revealed that the open beta for Resident Evil Resistance - a 1 vs 4 multiplayer experience - will go live on March 27 and last until Resident Evil 3 Remake launches. In the beta, a group of four players must escape from a "twisted experiment" while the fifth player will try and stop them. being able to dive into the beta early is certain to help players out when the full version comes out along with the main game.
