Jill’s new outfit is a small, but important bit showing the larger pattern of great decisions the RE team makes with these remakes. Maybe she could have something protecting her neck and shoulders, but I can buy that Jill was wearing this when the outbreak happened and she decided to flee the city.ĭesign choices may seem like a small thing compared to larger gameplay systems and such, but they can often speak to larger flaws or poor decisions. It both calls back on the original while also making sense as something someone would actually be wearing in this situation. While maybe a bit too Lara Croft-ish, Jill’s redesign hits all the right notes.

Thankfully, in the twenty-years plus since that game came out, Capcom came to their senses. Why have your special forces officer, who had a pretty logical and well-designed outfit in the original Resident Evil, fight the city-wide zombie apocalypse in a mini-shirt and tube top? It remains an absolutely baffling design choice. I wrote a retrospective about the amazing Jill Valentine some time back, and in it, I remarked on the absurdity of Jill’s outfit in the original Resident Evil 3. For sure, I have almost completely good things to say about what we know. The sublime foundation established in the Resident Evil 2 remake look to have transcended to an even greater level. The trailers and gameplay footage for the Resident Evil 3 remake look utterly spectacular. I know, I know, what cons? It’s perfect! Believe me, I mostly agree.
