Resident Evil 3 Brings Back The Knife Run
You'll be able to play through the entire game using just a knife if you want a challenge.

A successful knife run is challenging and requires an intimate knowledge of the Resident Evil game being attempted. Unfortunately, knife runs were basically impossible in the remake of Resident Evil 2 because knives in that game would break. This was because knives were used as a defensive weapon that would prevent zombies from biting you. Some would argue that this made knives more valuable, but it had the unfortunate consequence of killing the knife run.
“We kept the knife inexhaustible [in Resident Evil 3], so you can use it forever,” says producer Peter Fabiano. “We're dealing with survival horror and everything is exhaustible. You run out of bullets. You run out of herbs. You run out of all the items you can use. So if you did run out of everything, what would you have? The knife. The director always wanted to make it so that you at least have your trusty knife. That’s always something you can rely on.”
Capcom went on to clarify that they are aware that hardcore fans like challenging themselves to knife-only runs, and that it has tested knife-only playthroughs in the office. The studio says that it's not easy, but some members on the team have completed the remake of Resident Evil 3 with only a knife.
Resident Evil 3 Details Carlos’ Playable Section
In the latest issue of Game Informer, Carlos’ playable section is detailed. As mentioned before, his role in the game has been expanded, and it seems that applies here as well. His section will include more puzzles, as well as a much larger area to explore compared to the original game. He’ll also pack a lot of punch, as executing a perfect dodge with Carlos will result in a powerful haymaker to knock enemies down. It’s not specified whether there will only be one part where Carlos is playable, like the 1999 original, or if there will be multiple this go around but at least this portion seems to have been expanded a good deal.
