Resident Evil 3 might have been far too short of an experience, but at least the multiplayer pack-in named Resident Evil Resistance could have you coming back for more. The 4v1 online mode features many classic monsters from the franchise's past, and now you can add Nemesis itself to the list. Starting today, you can play as the Tyrant in the Mastermind role if you select to play as Nicholai Ginovaef and accrue enough points to spawn it.
Nemesis is said to be a very speedy character, equipped with a "blood-curdling roar" which stops survivors in their tracks and tentacles to deal multiple attacks at once. It'll also sport the classic rocket launcher. "The team evaluated all the attacks Nemesis has in Resident Evil 3, and derived its Resistance skills from the ones we think would feel the most satisfying for players to use when controlling Nemesis."
Here are a few new screenshots showing Nemesis in action.

To be honest, I never played it and I probably won't play it at all. I purchased RE3 for RE3, Resistance just happened to tag along.
I hope using Nemesis is fun for those enjoying Resistance, though. =)
@RenanKJ Same here. Completed RES 3 lots of times but never tried this.
People complain about the length of RE3, which is fair enough. Personally I love how long it takes for me to blast through the campaign with everything unlocked. It's like lashing on Die Hard for a few hours when there's feck all to do. I'll fire up RE3 for 2 - 3 hours on a Sunday morning before breakfast and have a blast playing through it.
It's nice to have a short game that I love alongside all of the 100+ hour titles.
Resistance looks like fun, but I haven't tried it. Like the others above, I bought RE3 for RE3. I'm sure I'll give it a go at some point though.
"You think I don't know how to f**k you up?!"
I love this classy 90's action film line that Jill says to Nemesis at the end of Resi 3.
Could we maybe get the pre-order classic skins and classic sounds/OST as separate DLC, Capcom?
Nemesis is strong compared to the other BOWs.
Enjoying nemesis so far.
Aaauugh! This looks fun, but then I remember that I uninstalled this game because of the Resistance mode seeming so unfair! I don't like how much your character level makes a difference in this mode, and that you have to grind out each character and mastermind for a dozen hours before they become competent.
I guess I'm spoiled from Dead By Daylight where an underleveled character with no unlocked abilites still has a good chance of winning single-handedly without their team if you play skillfully. Here, if your entire team can't deal with the mastermind spawning waves and waves of lickers right from the second the match starts, you're never gonna come close to winning!
Loved every second of RE3-remake, but I really wish Capcom would have just stuck with a Mercenaries mode like they had in the best. I played the sh*t our of Mercenaries back in the day - so good! As someone who refuses to subscribe to PS-Plus, I'll probably never even try Resistance...
@Broosh You can get the classic pre-order skins from PSN now. I know because I brought them this morning for £2.49.
@Shepherd_Tallon the original was short too
@keihtg they removed the leveling grind after this update
@BearsEatBeets Thanks for the heads up!
Love all games. Will get it as well in the near future. No hurry for me.
@Taylorzombie For sure. I actually used to do the exact same thing with that back in the day - Fire it up for a few hours on a Sunday morning and play for a few hours.
@Shepherd_Tallon that's what i like about Re2R and Re3R u could always do a full run a day and experience everything again.
