With last year’s remake, Capcom made the brilliant decision to cut down the story to its barest essentials. Whether or not the original succeeded in doing so has been a matter of debate for a long time, but the remake takes a decidedly different approach. Chronicling a series of events taking place soon after the first game and occuring before, concurrently, and after the second, the game had the insurmountable task of delivering heaps of context to previous events while still wrapping them up in a satisfying way. Resident Evil 3 was the end of what many consider the Original Trilogy of the series, and like most trilogy cappers, it was the least interesting of the bunch.
