The Original Resident Evil 3 was More Expensive than the Remake
Resident Evil 3 was one of the series that came back into the spotlight with the remake wave. However, this time the topic of discussion isn’t gameplay or story, but directly the pricing. The situation revealed on Steam has created quite an ironic situation for players who closely follow the series.
Resident Evil 3 Price Comparison Attracts Attention
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis has been added back to stores after a long hiatus, and the discounts applied by Capcom have resulted in an interesting outcome. Currently, the classic version is selling for around $3.74, while Resident Evil 3 Remake has dropped to $2.99 with a significant discount.
Normally, a remake, being newer, higher-budgeted, and technically more advanced, would be expected to be more expensive. However, the opposite is true here. Moreover, this isn’t the case with other games in the series; this price difference is particularly evident for Resident Evil 3.
This is due to Steam’s promotional campaign structure. The discounts applied by Capcom when re-releasing the classic trilogy appear to have been much more aggressive for the remake. This, naturally, has caused the prices to reverse unexpectedly.
Another interesting aspect is that this aligns with player opinions. Fans of the series frequently say that the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis offers a more “complete” experience compared to the remake. Now, the emergence of a similar situation regarding price makes this discussion even more intriguing.
