Instead , Resident Evil 3remake ’s Nemesis is highly script , following a set track for all but a few encounters early in the game .

On a first playthrough , these   moments provide some telling spectacle , but they become wearisome and repetitive onsecondaryResident Evil 3runs .

Resident Evil 2 ’s Mr. X provides much more variety . While he does show up for some fairly straightforward pursual , his unscripted and unremitting following of the player in theRaccoon City Police Station   isRE2at its good .

Nemesis roars and goofily screams"S.T.A.R.S.,“but   Mr. X is silent , aside from   the intimidatingly loud clomping of his step . Being stalk by a giant , quiet , gray military personnel in an incomprehensible fedora may sound a little nonsensical , but in the moment , it delivers more fear than Nemesis'“what if we gave a vainglorious zombie a rocket launcher"design .

When Mr. X ’s   panic work , theyreallywork , stage the modernResident Evilremakes ' at their most terrifying . bane is initially scary , but his scripted encounters and cartoonishly " badass " intent ca n’t deliver the same level of consistent tenseness and horror establish in   Mr. X ’s drawn - out pursuits . Although he may have his problems , Mr. X is scarier than Nemesisand clearly the well - project stalker of the two .
