Resident Evil 3 — Pressure, Momentum, and Being Hunted | The PSX Index

Описание: Resident Evil 3 is survival horror under pursuit.

Released in 1999, it abandons the controlled spaces of its predecessors in favour of momentum, improvisation, and constant pressure. Nemesis is not a boss to be solved, but a system designed to disrupt routine, punish hesitation, and force forward motion.

This episode examines Resident Evil 3 as a shift in survival horror philosophy: how live decision events fracture certainty, how urban spaces resist mastery, and how Jill Valentine’s role reframes endurance as escape rather than control.
