The Hunter Gamma lurks within the bowels of Raccoon City.

Similar to the RE2 remake, there are numerous weapon mods to find.

Nab these for high-powered ammo and coveted weapon upgrades…

Nemesis drops valuable supply cases when you (temporarily) defeat him.

The brutish bio-weapon packs a heavy punch, ensnares Jill with a tentacle grab, and can cut off her escape routes with a flying leap.

Nemesis is bigger, stronger, and more persistent than ever.

This gives you more reason to canvas areas you’ve already explored as you hunt for extra supplies.

Jill, a known Master of Unlocking, can eventually pick numerous yellow padlocks scattered around the environment.

Blast red barrels to topple groups of zombies, and shoot electrical boxes to stun nearby threats.

Outwit your enemies with environmental traps.

Jill’s knife doesn’t degrade like the blades of RE2 remake, and it’s no longer used as a self-defense item.

Success scores you a slow-motion counter window to open fire. She can also perform a Perfect Dodge by precisely pressing X while in an enemy’s clutches. It works a bit like a parry, and is much easier to execute than in the 1999 original.

Jill has a new evade move (R1 + left stick) that lets you dodge lunging zombies and other foes.

City streets are wider and more open, unlike the relatively narrow corridors of the 1999 original.

New shops and locations flesh out the collapsing city, including an expanded subway station, new labyrinthine sewer section, and a richly detailed donut shop.

Expect larger areas and some reimagined sequences that dwarf those in the original game.

The RE3 remake dramatically reinvents the sprawling streets of Raccoon City – this is much grander than a one-to-one remaster.

As we wait for a demo, here are some juicy details on the remake (as highlighted by the Official PlayStation Blog):
