Resident Evil 3 Nemesis PSN [NPUJ-00923]

The game begins on September 28, 1998, with the opening cutscene depicting the R.P.D and U.B.C.S's failed efforts to contain the undead populace. The brief gameplay intro is set two nights previous, showing Jill taking refuge in an abandoned warehouse from a horde of zombies. The player then takes control of former Special Tactics And Rescue Service (STARS) member Jill Valentine in her attempt to escape a ruined and zombie-infested Raccoon City. On her way to the Raccoon City Police Department, she runs into fellow team member Brad Vickers, who is killed by the Nemesis, a bio-organic weapon created by the Umbrella Corporation for the sole purpose of hunting down and eliminating the surviving S.T.A.R.S. team members, who are first-hand witnesses of Umbrella's unethical and illegal experiments, as seen in Resident Evil. Later in the game, she encounters three surviving members of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (UBCS): Carlos Oliviera, Mikhail Victor and Nicholai Ginovaef. Nicholai explains to Jill and Carlos that a rescue chopper can be contacted if they manage to reach Raccoon City's Clock Tower and ring the tower's bell. During the course of the next part of the game, Nicholai is soon presumed dead after an encounter with zombies in an Umbrella Marketing Office and Mikhail sacrifices himself to save Jill and Carlos from the Nemesis by detonating a grenade in the cable car's rear compartment, causing the car to speed out of control and crash into the Clock Tower's Main Courtyard. Jill and Carlos are briefly separated.



Soon after arriving at the Clock Tower and exploring the premises, Jill manages to summon the helicopter by ringing the Clock Tower's bell. The Nemesis appears and destroys the helicopter, and in the process, infects Jill with the T-virus. Jill manages to defeat the Nemesis, but only temporarily and falls unconscious due to the T-Virus.Carlos finds her and takes Jill to the safety of the Chapel within the Clock Tower. During this period, set on October 1st, 3 days after the initial outbreak, the events of Resident Evil 2, Carlos becomes a controllable character, tasked with finding a cure for Jill's T-Virus infection.



Carlos enters the Raccoon City General Hospital, while discovering that Nicholai has an agenda of his own to attend to while in Raccoon City and eventually creating a vaccine which can combat the T-Virus and will be able to cure Jill. Just as Carlos is about to leave the hospital, he discovers a large amount of explosives rigged to explode in the hospital's main lobby. Carlos manages to escape from the hospital before it is completely destroyed. Carlos returns to Jill with the vaccine, encountering the slightly-mutated Nemesis for a brief period.



After recovering from the infection, Jill then proceeds towards the Raccoon Park, where she enters the park caretaker's cabin and discovers from Nicholai that he is one of an unknown number of "supervisors" sent into Raccoon City along with the U.B.C.S to gather combat data from the soldier's encounters with Umbrella's bio-weapons and is forced to leave after a tremor shakes the cabin. Jill follows Nicholai outside, only to discover the massive tremor experienced earlier was caused by the Grave Digger, a massive worm-like creature. Jill defeats the Grave Digger and proceeds towards the gate leading to the Dead Factory at the rear of the park.



Crossing the park's bridge Jill is confronted by Nemesis, thinking quickly Jill jumps the bridge and ends up in the dead factory sewers. Inside Jill meets up with Carlos, who tells her that the US government are planning to launch a nuclear missile into Raccoon City at dawn to eradicate the T-Virus infestation. Jill and Carlos split up again to find a way out of the facility. While attempting to escape, Jill encounters Nicholai again who reaches the factory's control tower. Jill then encounters the Nemesis, defeating it and grabbing a keycard needed to escape in the process. The body of the Nemesis is dumped in the radioactive liquid and appears to have been finally defeated.



After the fight, the factory computer announces the missile attack on Raccoon City has begun, with only a short time left before the city is destroyed. Jill makes her way to the factory's control tower and she encounters Nicholai for the last time in the helicopter, Nicholai fires at Jill and she can either reason with Nicholai or destroy the helicopter. If Jill negotiates with Nicholai, he explains to her how he has killed the other supervisors, and boasts about collecting the bounty placed on Jill by Umbrella. After that Jill makes her way to rear yard and the Nemesis makes an final appearance, now severely mutated, and Jill activates a prototype railgun which nearly destroys the creature. The creature remains attempts one last time to kill her but Jill grabs a discarded magnum and exterminates the monster for good. Jill meets up with Carlos in the rear yard where they manage to escape the city via helicopter piloted by Barry Burton. The final cutscene shows the nuclear missile vaporising the city and its infected populace. News broadcasts report Raccoon City as being 'wiped off the map', with a death toll that exceeds 100,000.
