Ammo can be made directly by combining it with respective gunpowder, without the need of using a reloading tool. As such, gunpowder uses a standard & Enhanced ammo formula instead of A & b formula in the original.

Much of the environment will be dark, but fear not - a flashlight is added to Jill's outfit and can be used hands-free. The light turns on or off on its own and may affect enemy detection, so rely on your hearing as well.

Jill now has a improved dodge function that lets her roll out from danger. Also, after evading enemy attacks, Jill gets a slow-down-time effect that lets her retaliate easier.
Restart From Checkpoints Now Available
In the original RE3, you'll have to reload a save if you died in the game. In the Remake, you can choose to continue from a Checkpoint, making death not so time-consuming as it used to be.
