PC version of Resident Evil 3

astroduck · March 19th, 2002

Does the PC version of RE3 run under Win XP?

I installed the game but it seems like it just crash after the intro movie.

BTW, I have a P3 733MHz with 512MB SDRAM and Asus Geforce 2 MX 32 MB with det. driver 23.11.

Could it be my graphics card? I set the game res. to 1280X1024 with 32 bit color full screen. Could resolution be a reason too?

I don't know, but I use WinMe and it work fine.

astroduck · March 19th, 2002

i just crash when I about to start the game after the movie....

Oh well, maybe I should just play the PS version instead...

Anyways, can anyone tell me which verison is better for RE3? PS or PC?

Well i think that its much better to PS then PC...
It just didnt felt right when i played the PC version

Some games should stay on the PS.

Hey I rather enjoy playing the PSX version on the PC

Andronicus · March 19th, 2002

Dpend on someone. For me, PC version is better.

It;s just hard to go back and play a PSX game on a playstation when you can do it enhanced on a PC.

Except maybe lunar.

I also think that the PC version is better.

I've never even played RE3. Is it any good?

Anyway, I think I'll have to agree that PSX versions of games are better than their PC counterparts. Games run better on the platform they were originally designed for. Ports suck!

oh yeah, it is pretty good consider if you like games that requires puzzle solving and thinking.

Andronicus · March 20th, 2002

But the puzzle is too easy

I also have the PC version of RE3, but I only bought it because I didn't have the psx version.. Haven't tried it on winxp yet though.. worked great on win98se..

astroduck · March 20th, 2002

RE3 PC version works great on WIn 95, 98SE, ME and 2000. But I don't think it will run under WinXP though...

Anyone tried running on XP yet?

dhkimboa · March 20th, 2002

Zell · March 20th, 2002

And the other way around. Some games should stay on PCs. Ever seen the Warcraft 2 and Starcraft ports for N64? Man did they suck. FPS games are also terrible on consoles, even on a relatively powerful system. The DC port of Quake 3 did not at all match up to the PC version. It's mouse control was slow and it skipped frames. The UT port wasn't bad but I still prefer the PC version.

Woo, my 1000th post!

yeah, those are 2 types of game that will never be that strong on consoles: FPShooters and Strategy.
