Do I have to play resident evil 3 to understand 4?

No, you do not have to play Resident Evil 3 (or even RE2) to understand Resident Evil 4; RE4 is largely a self-contained story with a new plot, new main villains, and only a few returning characters, though playing RE2 offers better context for Leon S. Kennedy's character and his connection to Ada Wong. RE3 focuses on Jill Valentine during the Raccoon City outbreak, which is separate from RE4's plot, with RE4's intro briefly summarizing the necessary background.

Can I skip RE3 to play RE4?

No, you do not need to play Resident Evil 3 before Resident Evil 4; RE4 features a largely self-contained story with new villains, but playing RE2 first gives good background on protagonist Leon Kennedy and makes RE4 more meaningful, while RE3 is a side story to RE2 focusing on Jill Valentine. You can jump straight into RE4 and enjoy it, but for character depth, RE2 (Remake or original) is a better precursor.
