RESIDENT EVIL 3 REMAKE (2020)

i like this bit on its own merit and its small call back to my boy Richard from RE1 when we find him hurt near the attic

and it is such a great introduction to Nikolai

Okay, hear me out an RE au where Leon and Claire run into Jill and are the ones chased by Nemisis and an RE au where Sherry runs into Carlos,Tyrell, Murphy, Nikolai and Mikhail and they are the ones who have to deal with Mr.X, G-Birkin, and Chief Irons. Both just sound like they would be fun that and the fact that Claire and Jill being badass together would be awesome. Along with the fact five mercs in a sense having to deal with three dangers along with keeping a child safe would be both badass and terrifying.

Shout out to my brother yet again on his resident evil theories. This time about Murphy Seeker from Re3 being Finn Macauley from Re6's father. He was legit doing all kinds of math. He is convinced they are related in someway after I mentioned that Murphy kinda looks like Finn... He wanted me to post this to see if anyone else agrees with him.

Ok. So, I been playing Resident Evil 3 Remake a lot recently, and dammit, Capcom know how to do right by their RE remakes! They've hit the nail on the head 3 times now!

On an important note. I did the original pic above in 2006 when I was super into RE and I feel the need to do a remake of my own...the sketch is down and I’m so proud of it! (Ref used to get their faces right)

Wish me luck painting this sucker!

⭐️I finished it! Please see the painted version here⭐️

Can’t believe that not only Tyrell made it out, but was also Carlos’ best man at his and Jill’s wedding and their baby’s godfather. Loved that scene in the epilogue where he comes over to visit the Valeveira family with donuts.

Murphy Seeker

Haven’t seen a lot of fanart for this guy, which is fair, seeing as he only appeared briefly before his death. But still, hearing that Todd Haberkorn voiced him caught my interest, as did reading his lore~

I wanted to draw him before the Raccoon Incident, and before he got all bloody and fucked up. 🥺

Murphy is my favorite character from resident evil 3

In the scene where Jill either misses her mark or refuses to shoot Nicholai leading to her and Carlos' death, when he swiftly turns to throw the knife at her his facial expression seems to be a mix of disappointment, betrayal and even very painful for him to do. His chuckle seems to be more of a cover for his disappointment that he was correct in her fears. I know he has his motivations and his directives, but why would the designers put that in the game with that pained expression on his face?

Post 2 continued: Seems deliberately placed, what was that expression about and why would they put that in the game? Why not just have him smile or even determined to prove her weak and end it?

And thanks for answering my questions, I just really want to understand the motivations of the writers and designers when they plan things the way they do, your explanations are amazing!

First off, sorry for taking so long to reply this time, and you’re welcome! 😊 Finding out what goes in the creators’ mind is something super interesting and can make you look at certain stuff in a different light - though in the cases we’ve been talking about, I’m mostly infering from what seems more obvious. In my experience, for RE storytelling, I think Occam’s razor is the best approach, because its stories are usually pretty straightforward and simple (which I don’t think it’s a bad thing.)

Now about the scene, I rambled a lot about it here, but it’s true that he looks disappointed there for a second. To be honest, I’m not sure if it was intended or not, because when you look at the actual scene and not just gifs/screencaps, it goes by very quick, so it could be just the actor doing an expression of exertion since Carlos had Nicholai on a chokehold seconds before, or maybe it’s just one of those things that happens with mocap that (despite how good RE3's mocap is) not all expressions are conveyed as well and it might give the wrong impression.

But that’s something we’ll never know, and whether it was intended or not, it fits that he’d be disappointed in Jill at that moment since his reaction when she shoots is almost the opposite - like there’s a tinge of approval there, and he’s laughing at the end. So why not show him disappointed if she fails to shoot? His words are “Knew you couldn’t pull the trigger,” so she’s proven that he was right all along in this ending, and just before the scene he had told her “shame you didn’t listen to me when you had the chance.” I think it fits with the dynamic that Jill and Nicholai have in RE3R, since he’s constantly telling her she should be worrying about surviving on her own and not others. He shows disapproval when she fights him back in the garage because of Murphy’s death, then shows approval when she goes on the subway leaving Carlos behind. It’s more or less the same, just applied to the ending.

(This has me thinking about a character approval system like in Dragon Age, but for Resident Evil XD)

So, to sum it up and not start ranting much again (which I’m prone to do 😂), I do think he *looks* disappointed - not sure it was deliberate, but what was deliberate is having him laugh his ass off when Jill leaves him to die, so I think it’s fair to assume the opposite could be right as well.

Just look at this trash man cackling when he's about to die*:

That's the power of Jill Valentine.

*Narratively speaking in RE3R, because he lives in my canon and that's what matters to me 😌

What do you like about Nikolai as a character (depite his good looks bc let be real oof)? :)

Ooooh nice question, I like it. I fear this'll be a long answer, sorry, I promise I won't go into details lmfaooo. I actually prefer antagonists and neutral characters over protagonists in general (with the exception of Leon and now Carlos, of course), and I think it's because I find them more interesting. Disclaimer: While I MUCH prefer OG RE3 over the Remake, I prefer Remake Nikolai, so that's who I'll write about.

❄ Nikolai comes across as cool, calculated and mission-oriented. I like that because I love that type of character. (I used to simp for Wesker and Hunk real bad.) ❄ He doesn't give a damn about screwing people over. My favourite scene in Re3Remake is when they're on the subway and Nikolai says "It's not after me," and locks Jill and Mikhail out. ❄ He is very attractive. Cannot deny that. Nikolai is hot as hell. ❄ I love his voice, his accent and the way he speaks in general (intonation and such). ❄ I like the way he talks about money. It's blunt and brutally honest. I can appreciate that. ❄ He does make a good point about a sense of self-preservation. I know some people feel bad for Murphy or Jill in that scene. I do not. ❄ I like that he has some sort of a relationship with Sergei Vladimir. I like Sergei, so the two being connected is interesting. ❄ I also like how Nik and Hunk are considered rivals, since Hunk is a character I like a lot aswell, so that makes me happy. (And gives me ideas for fics.) ❄ I kind of like to think about Nikolai interacting with other U.B.C.S. members before the RC incident, especially Carlos, Tyrell and Mikhail. Wonder if they ever hung out. It's fun. Maybe I should write a fic about that.

I'll stop for now, I could go on forever. If you want to chat about the beautiful silver trash man, dm me. I'm always open for a chat. Unless I'm not online, anyway. Thanks for the question. <3

Liking Murphy in the RE3 remake is a painful experience, but my monkey brain went 'Heho Haberkorn!' and that was the end of it,,, 😭

I feel ya, anon. Same for me but with Mikhail. Really sucks but we’re here for each other. I will try to provide a lot of Murphy content as soon as I get into writing and drawing again. <3

Murphy is an adorable bean and deserves all the love!!

Resident Evil 3 only it’s a D&D session with Mikhail as the DM and he has to deal with.... 

-Constantly losing players ie both Brad and Murphy dying in a sense but only because they have a schedual conflict and can’t come to game sessions anymore. 

- Carlos’s banter/flirting with Jill 

-Jill trying to shot Nikolai with arrows. 

- Nikolai trying to either get the party killed or trying to take shit.  

- Everyone somehow having trouble with the first encounter with the main BBEG ie Nemisis because their rolls suck. 

- Tyrell being the only other person staying on track mostly but also trying to build shit that could possibly one shot the BBEG.

What are your favorite games and franchises? Top 5?

OH BOY have I got feelings on this subject. 

Please keep in mind - I’m a storyteller and a writer. I fucking /love/ a good story. I DM a DnD game and my biggest weakness is that I don’t often include enough combat because I am so much more interested in telling a story. So for me, there’s got to be an emotional investment for a game to really land. I also hyperfixate like a motherfucker so I often refuse to pick up new things purely because there’s not enough space in my head for them at the time, so I’m slow getting to things as they come out. 

So, I’m first and foremost a survival horror bitch. I cut my teeth on Parasite Eve before I played any others - my mother scrimped and saved and fought her way through Wal-mart back in like 1998 to get me the original Playstation gaming console and Tekken 2 (which was my first PS game, I played it in an arcade near her barber shop as a child - Tomb Raider 2 was my second). The old Playstation discs at that time came with demos for different games, including Metal Gear Solid, which I replayed until I could have done it in my sleep because poverty meant I wasn’t likely to get another game anytime soon. I mention this because the Parasite Eve trailer used to give me nightmares but I was super, super hooked. 

I am a huge Silent Hill fan. Huge. That is a tragedy I could write a whole ‘nother post about, because as excited as I am to finally get my hands on Death Stranding (again, poverty, so it’ll be another minute before we can get a PS4), we’ll never get another SH game again unless some major reconciliation happens with Kojima and Konami, which is unlikely (and also hard to hope for - I’m happy Kojima now has the creative freedom to go as balls to the wall as he wants). 

I am an equally huge Resident Evil fan. I’ve always maintained that my first fandom was The X Files, but my wife pointed out a few nights ago that my RE love started around the same time in the late 90′s, so now it’s a chicken and egg kind of thing. Point being, it’s either The or One Of my longest lasting fandoms/interests. RE and Silent Hill get compared to one another a lot - RE7 did nothing to help that - but they really are apples and oranges to me. Fruit, sure, but two totally different tones and experiences. 

I’ve been a huge Tomb Raider fan for forever - my first high school boyfriend was loaded and bought me Angel of Darkness to come play at his house and while it was def critically panned, I do recall enjoying it - so that’s been fun to get those games remade with updated graphics. I’ve only played the one but the others are def on The List. 

So now that I’ve talked for an hour, my Top 5 fave games ever - 

#1 - Resident Evil 3 I am beyond jazzed for this remake, and a lot of people in the 90′s complained about RE3′s lack of clear cut boss battles, but I don’t know what they’re talking about. The entire fucking game is a boss battle - Jill vs. Raccoon City, and of course, Nemesis, who used to give my mother nightmares and caused me to sleep with a leaf-stabber by my bed for years. Jill is far and away my favorite protagonist in RE; she’s got a resilience of the spirit that somehow isn’t conflated with naivety, which is uncommon in ‘nice’ female protags. She’s savvy but she’s still kind, and she’s committed as fuck to survival - not to mention, as zealotous a Chris and Jill shipper as I am, she and Carlos had hella chemistry and I’m excited to see where that goes (JD Pardo would have made a fuck of a Carlos Oliviera, btw). It was An Experience and it’s forever at my #1. 

#2 - The Last of Us 

There is no comparison for emotional weight in video games, as far as I’m concerned. SPOILERS if you don’t already know the ending (this game came out in what, 2014?) but to me one of the biggest thing in the game’s favor is that the protagonist made the wrong choice. He had an option to potentially eradicate the cordyceps fungus and maybe save the world, turn the tides back for humanity, and with the weight of the world in the balance, he chose to save Ellie instead. It was, on a global scale, the wrong choice - but it was the human choice. It was the thing that a dad who never properly grieved his dead daughter would do for the surrogate daughter he inherited by accident. As for Ellie, there is no other character quite like her in games, and she’s fucking quality LGBT representation, especially considering how little we see queer children in media. I still cry every time, we play this game twice a year like clockwork and every single time, I still cry. 

#3 - Silent Hill 3 

All of SH’s games will have a special place in my heart - and if you wanna talk shit about Downpour, I’ll meet you in the Denny’s parking lot at 11, you better square the fuck up because I will defend Murphy with fists - but 3 is the best, hands down. I felt like it did the best job of streamlining the series’ ... uhm... somewhat complicated lore into something more understandable. SPOILERS: The villains are horrific - the Missionaries strike fear into my heart every time I play, and Claudia eating a miscarried god fetus to become god herself? Fucked up on a level you rarely see. I suppose if you didn’t catch it in the last sentence - your protag Heather vomits up a fetal god late in the game. Yes, you read that right. The best thing about this game though? Heather. I could climb up my feminist soapbox and talk about Heather as a subversion to video game tropes all fucking day - she’s a nonsexualized teenage girl whose father is killed for her character development. She’s self-sufficient, tough but still vulnerable, and hard as nails in a fight. As I might have mentioned a time or six, she also voluntarily aborts a god because Fuck Your Plans, She’s Got Her Own. 

#4 - Final Fantasy X 

Listen. I don’t know how much of this is because of actually enjoying playing the game and how much of it is emotional attachment. As most of you who follow me know, my mother died when I was sixteen. When I was about fourteen, I dated a rich kid who used to bring his PS2 to our very not-rich house and play games for us to watch - the sort of neophyte version of Watching Guys Play Videogames, if you will, which is another rant for another time. He got a Gamecube specifically so I could play RE Zero and Hunter The Reckoning. He was a neckbeard but he was also desperate to keep me from ditching so he did the smart thing and plied my very poor ass with money and food. The #1 game in the watching roster, though, was FFX - and if you know anything about the game, you know how heavily spirituality features into the story. My mother, very caught up in a very Eastern Philosphy Meets Quantum Physics internal seeking about the nature of things, was hooked from the word Go. She used to sit and watch Trey play for hours - we all did, but having her join us and love it that much? Wonderful. Half my memories of this game are both of us crying - crying when Yuna dances to send the souls, crying when Yuna reveals she’s on a suicide mission, crying when she and Tidus fall in love anyway, crying when she sends her Aeons to die in the final fight, crying over ‘the fayts are waking up’, crying when the big reveal about Auron comes up, crying crying crying. My wife bought it in 2011 and I watched her play through it again and while it suffers from the same issue as all FF games - too much filler and weird battle scenarios - it was cathartic. I miss my mom. 

#5 - Resident Evil 6 

Eat my entire ass. You already knew this was coming. I will defend this game to my grave for the fact that we have complex, interesting narratives surrounding female characters who have actual personalities. Was it perfect? No. Did it take RE out of horror territory and move it more into action? Woefully, yes. Is this series deeply problematic for where it chooses to set down your mostly-white protags and have them kill their way through? Big time. Don’t gloss those facts. But it’s got emotional punch in spades and a few weird character breaks that ended up being kind of brilliant - Chris has been so resiliently relentless in his fight against bioterrorism that a major PTSD break was inevitable. Leon would of course risk life and limb to help Helena, even though she implicated herself in something terrible. The icing on the cake to me was a grown up Sherry Birkin, wide eyed and believing like hell in the fight she thought she was on the right side of and getting knocked down only to get back up. Ada’s entire side campaign was brilliant. I hate some of the control choices they made in this game - the running from the Haos scenes near the end of Chris and Piers’ campaign makes me want to eat my own fist - but so it goes with most RE games (until RE4, moving your protag was like driving a tank). Jake and Sherry are My Unsinkable Ship. There are at least six scenes across this game that never get easier to watch - when the bomb hits the city and the cut scene of the mass infections begin, I still get sick to my stomach - and that, to me, is the mark that this game struck a hell of a chord in terms of storytelling. 

This was long.
