It would be a bit more invloved than Gloom 3 :)
Still, you wouldn't need Warp3D I think. Obviously you could use it, but
as essentially the only realtime rendered 3D are the characters and the
bad guys a software texture mapper and 060 should be able to handle it.
Really, a game like RE would be comparitably simple to code.
Essentially, the 3D is very limited and movement it all on a 2D plane.
The hardest part would probably be the plot engine, but even that is a
relavtivly simple thing for something like RE where the puzzles are
quite simple (use this with this, get this to unlock this etc).
