Resident Evil 3 Deluxe Edition Story Summary
The story begins with the live-action/CGI opening scene of news reports flooding in about the outbreak in Raccoon City, as Umbrella scientists finish work on his latest project: The Nemesis. After the opening title sequence, the pod containing the enemy can be seen being loaded into a helicopter.
Afterwards, Jill Valentine experiences a nightmare, where she closes the window and stumbles into her bathroom. She turns off the sink tap, only to see blood in the sink. When she looks up, she sees herself beginning to transform and recoils in terror, retreating into the darkness. When she resurfaces in the light, she sees that she has physically transformed into a zombie. Knowing she has little time, she grabs a nearby pistol and presses the barrel to her temple. She then shoots, before waking up.
The game is set on September 28, 20:07. Jill Rewakes, having slept while doing Umbrella investigations from her apartment, and receives a frantic phone call from Brad Vickers. He warns her that she has to leave, before being abruptly interrupted by the enemy bursting through the wall. She narrowly manages to escape his clutches by running into the hallway and another apartment and then arriving at the fire escape. Descending, she briefly absorbs the carnage that Raccoon City has fallen into before entering the apartment building. Jill is once again ambushed by the enemy and is almost caught, once by their tentacle, moments later, trying to use the debris from the building to trap her, before escaping.
Jill finds Brad, who explains that although he doesn’t know what the creature is, he is aware that it is after S.T.A.R.S. members who are in Raccoon City. The zombies break down nearby barricades, and the pair have to retreat inside a bar, but the zombies manage to get in and one of them bites Brad, who realizes there is no time and tells Jill that she must escape and that she must not ruin everything he has done. . While Brad sacrifices his life to hold off the zombies, Jill concedes to finding a helicopter on top of the garage building. Arriving at a storage room, she encounters Dario Rosso, who locks himself inside a storage container, and she fails to convince him to escape with her.
