Resident Evil 3 Remake’s campaign shows off some daring and intense moments throughout Jill Valentine’s attempts to escape Raccoon City. In addition to fighting numerous undead and other bio-weapons, the protagonist will face off against the game’s main villain, Nemesis, at key points throughout the game. While the campaign doesn’t always follow through with its attempts to balance survival horror and action, it still makes for an enjoyable game to play. However, Resident Evil 3 Remake has an unlockable difficulty setting that not only pushes it closer to its survival horror roots, but it also offers some of the game’s most intense encounters.

In this video, we explain why the Nightmare mode in RE3 Remake is a fantastic addition to the game. Unlocked after finishing the Hardcore mode, Nightmare adds more enemies and reshuffles key item locations. The key villain, Nemesis, also sees an upgrade, and it’ll be move faster and be more aggressive in its attempts to take you out. But what makes the bonus mode so engaging is how it remixes many of the game’s encounters with the enemies to focus more on the tension found in traditional survival horror games–the feeling of uncertainty of what’s around the corner. Even if you’re well-acquainted with the game after a single playthrough, Nightmare mode adds in some chilling surprises, which will likely lead to an unexpected end.

Resident Evil 3 is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

We’re living in strange times right now and the news is pretty heavy. A lot is going on in the world, so it’s super important to stay informed on the latest. But it’s also important to make sure that we try not to let it consume us and make an effort to remember that there’s still a lot of good things happening.

It might sound silly, but when times are trying it’s important to try and have a laugh once in a while. And that’s exactly what we’re here to do, both for ourselves and for you. Every week, here on Good News Gaming, we’re going to highlight uplifting news stories that may have passed you by in the midst of the hustle and bustle of online news. We’re going to chat about the good things that are happening, enjoy some weird memes, and just all try and smile.

Kicking things off, we take a look at the charming and inventive ways people are using Animal Crossing: New Horizons to connect with their loved ones–in a time of social distancing, Nintendo’s wholesome island life sim is strengthening our bonds with friends and family. We also highlight how gaming companies are helping COVID-19 charities, and finish up with a random assortment of some daft and fun things people are doing in games like Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord and Half-Life: Alyx.

We hope you enjoy watching this video and if you have any positive news from the world of video games that you’d like to share, let us know in the comments. We’ll be keeping an eye on what you’re saying, and it may show up in a future video.

Birds Of Prey may not be the deepest movie in the DC cinematic universe, but it’s certainly one of the most fun. As a neon-splashed, ultraviolent romp through street-level Gotham City, it’s delightfully wacky and irreverent–but one moment sticks out from the rest both in tone and context. About midway through, the film’s big bad, Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) has a complete meltdown in his nightclub, prompting him to viciously attack and sexually harass one of the female patrons while Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) watches on, horrified.

There’s no punchline or wink to the audience, no slap-stick fourth-wall breaking to lighten the mood, just a power-crazed paranoid villain and his victim. In our spoiler review, we denoted the scene was one of the only gratuitous moments in an otherwise gleefully fun movie. And apparently, that was the intent. Director Cathy Yan explained the context of the scene in an interview with THR, as well as the struggle to keep the moment in the film’s final cut.

“I’ll be honest: We had to fight to keep that scene because it was uncomfortable. It was risky, and we had to fight to keep it at all. There are cuts of the movie without it. I think it’s a huge turning point for Roman. It’s a huge turning point for Canary, and the way that we shot it was hopefully not about the sexual violence upon the woman. It was more about Roman, what he’s capable of and Canary seeing him for who he really is for the first time. Now, she can fully cut herself off from him, and I thought it was a really important scene. So, we fought for it.”

Prior to the moment in the club, Roman had been dangerous–but ultimately comedic–in his violence. Whether it was killing his victims with an “ew,” and a campy sneer on his face or demanding that his cronies find the “crossbow killer” because he also “likes crossbows.” McGregor’s take on the DC villain was less Tony Montana and more a gun-toting Liberace. So Yan’s added context certainly does make the scene seem less like an aberration and more like a much-needed character beat.

Birds Of Prey recently received an expedited digital release due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. It is currently available to stream.

Resident Evil 3, a remake of 1999’s Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, is officially out. The remake has plenty of Easter eggs and hidden references–in fact, we’ve managed to find over a dozen so far.

In the video above, Richie Bracamonte details 14 times that Resident Evil 3 references the original game or the other titles in the survival horror franchise. Don’t worry, this video is relatively spoiler-free. Though it does showcase some of the locations you’ll visit later in the single-player campaign, it doesn’t talk about major storybeats.

Some of RE3’s Easter eggs are fairly obvious–like protagonist Jill’s outfit from the original game, which you can unlock–while others are a bit trickier to find or easy to miss. Did you know, for example, that when you visit locations from Resident Evil 2, the codes you used to unlock lockers and doors from RE2 will still work in RE3? It makes sense, of course. They are literally the same lockers and doors.

In GameSpot’s Resident Evil 3 review, Alessandro Fillari wrote, “Even without taking into account the original game, or its predecessor, RE3 struggles to keep up with its pace amid a clashing of elements from survival horror and standard action. While it has a strong start and gives its principal villain some great moments, this truncated retelling of the concluding game from the original Resident Evil trilogy doesn’t do it proper justice.”

That said, Alessandro does enjoy playing the remake on Nightmare mode–which transforms the fairly linear game into something closer to the terrifying survival horror experience of its predecessor. It’s the best way to play Resident Evil 3.

The line between Rick & Morty and the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to blur. In November it was announced that Jessica Gao, who wrote the show’s “Pickle Rick” episode, was picked to develop the She-Hulk show on Disney+. Now, another alum from the series is reportedly joining the MCU. However, this one will write a film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rick & Morty writer/co-producer Jeff Loveness has been tapped to pen the script for the currently unannounced Ant-Man 3, the followup to 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. THR reports that director Peyton Reed has already signed on to return.

In addition to his creative role on the Adult Swim animated series, Loveness has credits that include writing for Jimmy Kimmel Live, Miracle Workers, and The Onion News Network. He is also no stranger to comics, having written for Marvel Comics, Boom! Studios, and DC.

There’s no word yet on when, exactly, Ant-Man 3 will film. When Phase 4 of the MCU was announced, it was nowhere to be seen. Instead, sequels like Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Captain Marvel 2, and Thor: Love and Thunder were announced. However, even those films are in flux as Marvel Studios recently announced a slew of release date changes.

Given that Ant-Man 3 hasn’t been officially announced, there is currently no public release date set for the film. However, Rick & Morty returns to Adult Swim on May 3.

The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, like the original games, share some big similarities. Both return you to Raccoon City, where you have to fight against hordes of undead enemies and a host of other horrific creatures in order to survive. Both games also have their own creatures that stand out among the usual terrors, relentlessly hunting you for the duration of your stay in Raccoon City. In Resident Evil 2, it’s Mr. X; in RE3, it’s the Nemesis.

Both Mr. X and the Nemesis are similar, like the games in which they’re found. They’re towering creatures that stalk you through the environment, following you through different rooms and constantly trying to tear you apart. The Nemesis is a different beast from the Tyrant Mr. X, though–Resident Evil 3’s monster is something of an enhanced version of its counterpart, making it more aggressive and giving it additional capabilities.

Check out the video above to see how Mr. X and the Nemesis compare, and the different challenges they present as you again try to stay alive in the hellish Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3 Remake.
