Resident Evil 3 Remake: Nemesis Can Break Into Safe Rooms Now

Nemesis is able to break into safe rooms in the Resident Evil 3 remake, meaning you’ll never feel at ease again. The latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine revealed the terrifying new detail after a hands-on session involved the sprinting, tentacle-fisted menace breaking into a room where the player had been attempting to enjoy a moment of respite. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/14/resident-evil-3-nemesis-trailer"] Historically, safe rooms in Resident Evil games have been calm areas of guaranteed safety. Even when enemies have been chasing you, ducking into a safe room would cause them to walk away. This was especially useful in the remake of Resident Evil 2 when the relentless Mr. X would pursue you through the Racoon City police building. Nemesis, who is effectively Mr. X on steroids with far more terrifying armaments, will be able to barge into safe rooms, meaning you never know if you’re truly out of danger. This is a little reminiscent of Alien: Isolation, where using a save machine was no guarantee of safety from the stalking Xenomorph.
