The online Resident Evil that nobody played

In its 20th anniversary year, PSU takes a look at one of the games in the series that deserved much more credit.

Outbreak was by far my favorite RE game. I wish RE7 would follow a similar formula

I could totally see a game where you play with other AI characters and go through the entire story with them, seeing who gets killed and who survives. Every playthrough would be different. It would have that highly-entertaining "The Walking Dead" aspect where you need to manage your interactions with other humans, but without the scripted/dialogue aspect. It worked really well in Outbreak. The other characters would have random personalities. Some of them would be cooperative, and some could try to kill you when the opportunity comes

The game could even take inspiration from Dark Souls's atypical online system. Maybe at the start of each new area (or checkpoint), you could be automatically paired with 3 other random players and try to get through the area. In each area there would be limited items that not every player can get, just to stir things up a little bit

It's definitely a risky concept, and one that is difficult to pull off well, but I'd love to see it happen

Surprised there was no mention of the fan revival project. http://wiki.obsrv.org/index...

Yea, Outbreak was cool and they should take another crack at it! Great game back when almost no one had internet hooked up to their PS2s.
MGS3 online was super-fun too.

I remember the last day of MGO (before servers got closed) when everyone was saluting each-other instead of fighting. Great times

It will come. I just think it will be after code Veronica, and zero. Maybe in line with when RE 10 releases…

gold_drake67d ago

do we really need another remake?

the one that got re released for the ps4 and xbox looks amazing.

-Foxtrot67d ago

It's been 23 years, by the time this could come out we'd be nearing 25. If it's done in the same style as the RE2, 3 & 4 Remake then yeah, I'd happily take another remake.

It gets to tie together RE0 and RE1 better while adding onto the mansion to give us new areas to visit or enemies to face.

Part of me always wishes the "OG" Resident Evil Remake would remain the only one. Then again, can't deny the financial incentive.

PlayStation Community Rejoice. Resident Evil 1 and Dino Crisis Finally Released From PSN Paywall

Until a few days ago, you could only access Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 1 via PS+. No one could simply purchase them, you had to rely on a monthly subscription.

SimpleSlave197d ago

Fucking Finally! Such a dumbass move to keep them behind a paywall hardly anyone will pay just for these two games.

Also, for some reason, Resident Evil Director’s Cut is free. It happened with Grandia (PS1) too a while ago. Weird, but oh so good.

VersusDMC197d ago

If you bought the original PS1 classic you get the new one for free. I didn't buy the RE1 PS1 classic back in the day so it is 10$ but i got legend of dragoon free because i bought it back in the day.

SimpleSlave197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Interesting, but I didn't bought any of these games digitally. I only bought them physically and played them on the PS3. And while Grandia and Resi are part of that collection, there are other games, like G-Police, Legends of Dragoon Legend of Mana, that still have a price tag for me.

This sounds more like a random thing Sony is doing. Regardless, I just saved $10. So that's something.

VersusDMC197d ago

Honestly the texture gitters/clipping are a dealbreaker for me so not even trophies will get me to play these versions.

Capcom should just do a survival horror collection with proper remastering ,trophies and extras. Just like the MVC collection. I will just replay them on my vita for now.

jznrpg197d ago

If they made a collection with trophies I’d buy it but I’d like for them to add trophies to what’s there already
