FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ------------------------------ Q: Which version is worth it? ----------------------------- ::If you only have a PSX, get Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for PSX. If you only have a PC, get that version. If you have a Dreamcast only, get that version. Try to grab the PC or Dreamcast versions though. Q: What are the differences? ---------------------------- ::Refer to the above for the differences. Q: Which version has the best graphics? --------------------------------------- ::PC’s version does, so far. Q: When is the GCN version coming out? -------------------------------------- ::In 2002. Q: Which version will the GCN version be ported from? ----------------------------------------------------- ::Probably the Dreamcast or PC version. Dreamcast to GameCube ports, I here, are pretty easy. The PC version may also make it. Q: Why are all these RE3 versions out? -------------------------------------- ::Money. Q: Which version is your favorite? ---------------------------------- ::The Dreamcast port. Q: Which is the cheapest? ------------------------- ::The Dreamcast, PSX and PC versions can be found under $20. Grab the Dreamcast one if you have all 3 platforms. Q: Why won’t they remake RE3 as well as RE2 on GCN? --------------------------------------------------- ::For one thing, RE2 and RE3 are already fine. RE1 isn’t as good as it should be, compared to CVX. Plus we’d never see RE Zero or RE4 if they remake RE2 and RE3, which is unnecessary. Q: I have a gameplay question. ------------------------------ ::Ask away! Q: Why is DC version your favorite? ----------------------------------- ::Because it has what the PSX version has to offer and there is no need for hefty hardware for PC's like the PC version does. For anymore questions, email me! 12. FUTURE OF RESIDENT EVIL --------------------------- This week, in Japan, on March 21, 2002, Capcom will release its long awaited Resident Evil remake exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Following that will be a port of BioHazard 2. After the BioHazard 2 port, BioHazard Zero will finally arrive.
