Project Resistance occasionally uses a musical theme from Resident Evil 3, sparking intrigue that a Resident Evil 3 remake might be on the horizon (via WccfTech).
Project Resistance is Capcom’s latest Resident Evil title, and it’s an asymmetric multiplayer survival game that pits four co-op players against a nefarious player-controlled Mastermind. When it was unveiled at Tokyo Game Show, it was met with criticism by a portion of RE fans who were hoping the game would be a single-player core installment of the Resident Evil storyline.
Now, it seems that those who were hankering for a meatier serving of Resident Evil might be in luck. Fans have heard the save room theme from Resident Evil 3 playing occasionally during Project Resistance games. Have a listen here:
It could be a nice little tune that harkens back to the game, or it could let us know whenabouts in time its offline campaign is set, but a remake for Resident Evil 3 has been rumoured. A Resident Evil fan first leaked that Capcom is focusing on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis last December, though Yoshiaki Hirabayashi was quick to settle speculation. It would be down to fan demand, he said, and fans have been demanding for a while now. Jill and Carlos appear for a moment in the Project Resistance trailer, so the stories might have something to them.
Project Resistance is currently in beta on PlayStation 4. The theme may be taken out when the game is released, or it may be kept in as a nod to a well-loved title in the Resident Evil series. We’ll have to sit tight and see until Capcom updates its fans.
