#RESIDENT EVIL 3 REMAKE JILL PC#
Resident Evil 3 launches for the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the PC on April 3, 2020.Maintain civility & Reddiquette: Keep this sub fun and lighthearted. After being disappointed for so long with Jill’s later appearances in Resident Evil, it’s nice to be reminded why she was my favorite. It’s like Capcom’s team here knew Resident Evil 3 wouldn’t be able to capture the same atmospheric success as the previous game (a correct assumption), so it focused on breathing more life into the story. She isn’t a Nathan Drake, but she isn’t a typical “Strong Female Protagonist Defined by Trauma” either.
#RESIDENT EVIL 3 REMAKE JILL MOVIE#
Despite the heavy genre vibes necessary for horror, Jill Valentine feels like a real person, like the hero of a blockbuster movie the audience can relate to. She has layers, colored with moments of strength, humor, vulnerability, and anger. She says “fuck” a lot, eats hella pizza, and occasionally pukes when spiders lay eggs down her throat. She kicks down vent covers to escape Nemesis, shoots exploding barrels, and exchanges ribs with Carlos. Moments earlier, she was dodge-rolling under Nemesis’ rolling lariats and knifing zombies to death.
The vomiting stands out because it isn’t one moment among several, it’s something real happening to our video game hero, who has up until this point shrugged everything off. Jill has already faced the trauma and is choosing to engage with the situation in front of her. This isn’t Tomb Raider (2013), in which the game goes out of its way to beat the hell out of Lara Croft to show how hard and traumatic her experience is. This game is interested in Jill Valentine as a character and a protagonist. It’s a gruesome moment, but is a person puking really worse than… everything else happening? No, but it stands out because of how mundane it is. She vomits graphically once you eat some. It’s a tutorial moment, the game showing Jill’s infected with parasites and giving you obvious clues that green herbs are a simple fix. But she is pressing forward, still fighting and still trying to live a life.Ī few hours later, Jill is being attacked by a giant spider, and it lays eggs down her throat H.R. Yes, Jill survived a traumatic experience and there are side effects. Her space is mostly neat, but there’s a giant pizza box left open on a table and the fridge is covered in magnets. Multiple bottles of pills cover her bedside table. She has a wall of newspaper clippings and another wall of research materials all pinned together, detective/conspiracy theorist-style. It opens with a violent dream sequence, then through set design, shows us how the Spencer Mansion incident affected her.
Resident Evil 3 is immediately interested in who Jill is and why she is who she is. Ada is there to add some intrigue, and everyone is charismatic and likeable, but nobody has a particularly compelling arc or presence.
Leon and Claire are pure babyface heroes, just trying to survive and be the good guys. But Jill being the plot-driving mechanism >isn’t the only reason why Resident Evil 3’s remake justifies itself. Nemesis is there because of Jill, because she knows what’s going on and who is responsible. A big part of that is Nemesis chasing her down of course, but that’s from the player’s perspective.
Her presence is what drives the narrative, not the other way around. But with Resident Evil 3, the whole thing revolved around Jill Valentine. Their stories are mostly reactive, therefore the plot isn’t really about them as characters ( they’re still cool though). Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy are passive leads, outsiders who just happen into the Raccoon City outbreak. 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake was a brilliant game, but it was still Resident Evil 2.
