Gameplay
Resident Evil 3 is a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, a survival horror video game released for the PlayStation in 1999, followed by releases for Microsoft Windows and Sega Dreamcast in 2000, and Nintendo GameCube in 2003.
Unlike the original, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the remake features third-person shooter gameplay similar to the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake. In the beginning of the game, the player briefly controls Jill in the first-person perspective, similar to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
Plot
The game is set in Raccoon City during a zombie apocalypse caused by an outbreak of the T-Virus that was created by pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation.
On September 28, 1998, former Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) member Jill Valentine is attacked in her apartment by an Umbrella-created intelligent bioweapon known as Nemesis, who attempts to kill her and all remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. Upon escaping her building, she meets up with fellow S.T.A.R.S. officer Brad Vickers, but Brad is bitten by a zombie and tells Jill to save herself.
After another encounter with Nemesis, she is saved by Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) mercenary Carlos Oliveira. Carlos and his group of surviving U.B.C.S. mercenaries - Mikhail Victor, Tyrell Patrick, and Nicholai Ginovaef - have set up subway trains which they plan to use to evacuate civilians from the city.
After surviving several encounters with Nemesis, Jill manages to reactivate power to the subway, while Carlos and Tyrell remain in the city to search for Dr. Nathaniel Bard, an Umbrella scientist who might know how to make a vaccine for the T-Virus and save the city.
As Jill, Nicholai, and Mikhail depart in the train, Mikhail expresses his suspicions towards Nicholai on how their platoon was ambushed by zombies.
Nemesis suddenly attacks the train and kills the civilians; Nicholai locks the other two out, forcing them to defend themselves. Nemesis grabs Mikhail, who sacrifices himself by detonating an explosive, causing the train to derail. Jill escapes as seemingly the only survivor of the crash.
Carlos and Tyrell travel to the city's police department, where they plan to find Bard in the S.T.A.R.S. office. The two witness R.P.D. Lieutenant Marvin Branagh being bitten by a zombified Brad, who is killed by Carlos shortly afterwards. The two enter the S.T.A.R.S. office and communicate via video with Bard, who informs them that he is at a hospital.
Meanwhile, as Tyrell traces Bard’s location, Jill escapes the wreckage of the derailed train only to be again pursued by Nemesis who is now heavily mutated. Jill radios Carlos and engages the monster, managing to escape it, but only after it infects her with the T-Virus.
Jill falls unconscious and Carlos finds her roughly half a day later, taking her to Spencer Memorial Hospital — the location of Bard. Carlos fights his way through the infested hospital only to find that Bard has been murdered.
He views a video from Bard confessing that the T-Virus was engineered by Umbrella, and despite Umbrella hiring him to develop the vaccine, Umbrella's board now wants to destroy it and eliminate all traces of the virus' existence. Carlos retrieves the vaccine and administers it to Jill.
Tyrell arrives at the hospital and they discover that the U.S. government plans to destroy Raccoon City in a missile strike to eradicate the T-Virus infestation.
Carlos travels to the NEST 2 lab underneath the hospital to find more vaccines, while Tyrell tries to contact whoever he can to try and stop the missile strike.
