and the same goes for <em>4<&sol;em> and <em>Code Veronica<&sol;em>&comma; but for some reason <em>Nemesis<&sol;em> never pulled me in for a replay&period; The game&comma; however&comma; was ahead of its time&period; The story takes place between two of the games and brings the first game&&num;8217&semi;s star Jill Valentine back into the fray after the events at the Spencer Mansion&period; Nemesis almost steals the show away from Jill seeing as he chases her throughout the entire game and is unstoppable&period;

Jill&comma; after recently surviving the incident at Spencer Mansion has quit S&period;T&period;A&period;R&period;S&period; and is on her way out of Raccoon City&period; Nothing is ever that simple though&comma; she encounters a Brad Vickers&comma; and then watches him get butchered by the games antagonist&comma; Nemesis&period; This is where you hear the beast utter &&num;8220&semi;S&period;T&period;A&period;R&period;S&period;&&num;8221&semi; for the first time&comma; so don&&num;8217&semi;t get sick of it just yet&period; Plus this story has a nice twist&comma; certain events unfold during Jill&&num;8217&semi;s adventure that place her out of Raccoon City after the nukes explode at the end of <em>Resident Evil 2<&sol;em>&period; Basically Jill is the third adventurer in that game&semi; you just don&&num;8217&semi;t know it until you play the sequel&period; I remember going into the police station&comma; albeit briefly&comma; but my inner nerd wigged out&comma; just knowing that I was stepping where Leon and Claire would experience their nightmares&period; This gave me chills&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Second&comma; this game had an antagonist that would appear at any possibly moment just to kill you&period; I would be minding my own business at the clothing shop in Raccoon City&comma; rummaging for ammo or herbs and suddenly you&&num;8217&semi;d hear &&num;8220&semi;S&period;T&period;A&period;R&period;S&period;&&num;8221&semi; in the background and it was time for some shit to go down&period; Nemesis could be dropped when he showed up&comma; but you were better off high tailing it out of there&comma; no reason to waste all your bullets on the bullet sponge then be S&period;O&period;L&period; deeper in the city&period; I would use my mastery of the tank controls and run my way out of there without catching on any of the geometry and without wasting any bullets&period; To me that was the best way to survive the game&comma; knowing in my heart that there would be an endgame to all this running and I would finally put Nemesis down for good&period; This was something that we had never seen in the industry before&semi; none of us had encountered an near unstoppable enemy around any corner at any time&period; It was fascinating to play&period; I mean at any moment you could be brutally attacked&semi; if you want that feeling in a newer game check out <em>Alien&colon; Isolation<&sol;em>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;117469" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-117469" style&equals;"width&colon;

It is difficult for me to go back to games of that generation seeing how poorly they aged&comma; but I want to go back and play some old favorites and some of the classics that I missed&period; Since Capcom seems to be in the business of remakes right now&comma; I think they should toss this one into the pipeline once they finish the <em>Resident Evil 2 Remake<&sol;em>&period; The<em> Resident Evil 2 Remake<&sol;em> is from the ground up&comma; so I don&&num;8217&semi;t see them wasting that engine on only one game&semi;

even <em>Deep Down<&sol;em> is in limbo&period; <em>Resident Evil 3<&sol;em> would help Capcom make some nice green&comma; especially if <em>Resident Evil 2<&sol;em> does well&comma; but at some point gamers are going to want new games in the series&period;
