Jill's outfit blows because she's the same bad bitch design we see in everything now. Tank top, pants, short brown hair. Totally forgettable, the only way they could make it more forgettable is if she used a fucking bow and arrow.
It's more she just doesn't feel like Jill in general. Jill was very straight laced and professional, especially in 3. In Remake she's saying retarded shit like "Bitch can't even swim." And all the lines that would have been accurate and badass got shunted out of the way or cut entirely.
Claire didn't get it as bad. She is still kind of gentle and motherly in Remake and only gets shitty in reasonable circumstances.
I know what Capcom was going for with the remakes. in the original, the sequels were expanding on the lore, thats why we get Ada cringe on announcing his boyfriend is an Umbrella researcher and she is looking for him. or Branaugh explaining to Leon that Umbrella is behind it all.
in the remakes, they shifted the focus on the characters, and their personal stakes. it is not perfect, but I feel that they have done better than the originals on making people care. Irons and Ada was done better in remakes, even Marvin, Leon may be debatable, but I think he is a better because he acts like a rookie cop that follow orders than the hard-boiled cop he acts like in 2. I guess they can change the characterizations because they are essentially new characters in the story not tied from RE1.
but 3make, I think the game tried to do the same trick again, but forgot that 3 also is set in the same time and place with 2, and forgot that it shares lore. the lore changed and felt like the zombie apocalypsed happened exactly on Sept 28, not started since 24. the city full of rubble and cars stacked on each other, buildings exploding and whatever, felt like an alien invasion rather than a zombie apocalypse that kept escalating till the boiling point. compare it to 2make, where you can see that the cars are jampacked with every car facing the police station where it suggests that everyone tried to gather at the police station to seek refuge from the zombies.
lets not forget about Jill. Jill changed for the worst and possibly the worst character in the game. since she is from 1, there is already an pre-existing characterization and expectations on how she would react. i guess its a little understandable that she became a ptsd conspiracy theory schizo tard because of her experience in 1, but that would actually make her retard schizo ass more aware and notice the zombie apocalypse early on. what is she doing during Sept 24-28? sleeping like a retard? not only that, she felt like a tourist on her own city that she lives in and Carlos has to give her directions. also the ill give you stars is so out of place. I think it should been in the clocktower fight, it would fit better there.
