Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a survival horror video game and the third installment in the Resident Evil series. Like its two predecessors, it is a third-person action-adventure game with polygonal characters on pre-rendered backgrounds with cinematic camera angles. Although the game uses the same basic engine and gameplay as the previous games, the gameplay is improved by features such as auto-targeting, a 180 degree spin, and a new dodge move that allows Jill to avoid enemy attacks.

The game was released for the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Windows in 1999. The PlayStation version was the best-selling of the three, with over 3.5 million copies sold worldwide. The Dreamcast version was released exclusively in Japan, and the Windows version was released in North America and Europe.

The story of Resident Evil 3 takes place in Raccoon City, shortly after the events of Resident Evil 2. The city has been overrun by zombies and other monsters, and the Umbrella Corporation is conducting a series of experiments on the population. Jill Valentine, a member of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), is sent to investigate the outbreak.

Jill is quickly joined by Carlos Oliveira, a member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.). Together, they must fight their way through the zombie-infested city and uncover the truth behind the outbreak.

One of the most unique features of Resident Evil 3 is the Nemesis monster. Nemesis is a powerful creature created by Umbrella Corporation to hunt down and kill S.T.A.R.S. members. Nemesis is relentless and nearly unstoppable, and he will pursue Jill throughout the game.

Resident Evil 3 was a critical and commercial success. It was praised for its improved gameplay, intense atmosphere, and memorable characters. The game has been ported to several other platforms, including the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 3.

Gameplay

Resident Evil 3 is a third-person action-adventure game with polygonal characters on pre-rendered backgrounds. The player controls Jill Valentine, a member of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), as she investigates a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City.

The gameplay is similar to that of the previous Resident Evil games. The player explores the environment, solves puzzles, and fights off zombies and other monsters. However, Resident Evil 3 introduces several new gameplay features, such as auto-targeting, a 180 degree spin, and a new dodge move.

Auto-targeting makes it easier to aim at enemies, and the 180 degree spin allows Jill to quickly turn around and face enemies behind her. The dodge move allows Jill to avoid enemy attacks, and it can be used to create openings for counterattacks.

Resident Evil 3 also features a new type of enemy called the Nemesis. Nemesis is a powerful creature created by Umbrella Corporation to hunt down and kill S.T.A.R.S. members. Nemesis is relentless and nearly unstoppable, and he will pursue Jill throughout the game.
