Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D''' is a gaiden in the Resident Evil series. It is an expansion of the ‘Mercenaries’ minigame from [[Resident Evil 4]] and [[Resident Evil 5]] spun off into its own title. It contains remakes of the levels from both, as well as an online co-op mode and a "Skills" system that allows the player to assign special abilities to their character based on their performance, similar to the perks in [[Call of Duty]].

Playable characters include Chris and Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, Jack Krauser, HUNK, Rebecca Chambers, and Barry Burton; Capcom has explained that Leon Kennedy was explicitly not included due to his featured role in ''[[Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City ~~(Video Game)~~|Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City]]''. He however hinted that he could appear as Downloadable content.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Wesker's dash, much like in [[RE 5]]. It looks pretty cool and you can fire off a Knee Cannon that can do some big damage on some, but its hard to get a good hit with it, and it takes some health off, especially with Uroboros Wesker's pitiful health recovery rate.

Line 12:

* [[Gaiden Game]]: Hits all the criteria.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: You, with the grenade launchers. Its entirely possible to nail a precise, long range direct hit on any enemy with a ''grenade launcher''. The added splash damage makes this all the more sweet. In fact, with the help of the laser sight, evena Magnum can be used to achieve this effect.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Marketing and the promo cite how you fight [[The War On Terror|the war on horror]].

* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Press X to make your character trash your enemies verbally. Provides a power boost with the right skill equipped and nets you a Medal if you perform a total of 30 near an enemy but it doesn't help for Claire or HUNK since their taunt animations last long and you can't cancel them, leaving them open for attack.

** On another note, Chris, Wesker and Barry share the same taunt vocal ("Show yourself!") though with different voice actors. You can also hold the X button and press any direction on the D-Pad to give commands to your partner, or thank them if they heal you up. Yes, you can do this when you're alone, too.

Line 25:

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Claire's Electric Grenade Launcher. Wide radius and can kill a Cephalos or Duvalia relatively easily.

** The Thunderbolt skill. Gives your melee attacks electrical properties. Level it up to the max and every knock-down melee attack will summon an additional lightning bolt that'll do major, if not fatal damage to the victim and any surrounding enemies nearby.

* [[Shout Out]]: HUNK's "Mr. Death" alternate costume sure looks a lot like the ''[[Batman Arkham Asylum]]'' rendition of The Scarecrow.

** On that note, some of the alternate costumes are variants on the ones seen in [[RE 5]], most notably Barry's (A [[Eagle Land|patriotic]] recolour of Chris' Warrior costume), Krauser's (Heavy Metal) and Claire's (Sheva's suit with the added bonus of resembling [[Resident Evil 4|Hunnigan]].)
