Resident Evil multiplayer games have been mostly pretty bad and RE: Verse looks like it will continue that trend. So why does the series keep trying to do PVP games?
Capcom have derailed themselves with the series , dont know a thing what to do ...i think they feel lost , they develop whatever comes to mind to clueless-with-gaming-marketing managers and whatever see popular on social media without planning
For Example " fans want Old Resi characters which have become gaming mascots ?...ok then throw them in a crappy made MP game alltogether ,to fight in PVP arenas like a cheap brother of Fortnite"
If some type of MP game can be made within REvil lore , this should have been like Outbreak (which judging by the new gen of gamers wouldnt have success) or somthing like L4D but in Third Person with attention to detail (gunplay , limited resources, slow realistical actions (not CODstyle) detailed world and believable scenarios) , confronting waves of enemies cooperatively never gets old and always will be classic
IMO, they should try something like Resident Evil 6 multiplayer, when you can play as different Zombie types, trying to kill the real players, playing through the campaign. It had bad controls and camera though, if they improve it, it might be a better direction, that this awful PVP.
The only company I've ever seen do zombie pvp right was Valve. It just doesn't work when the main enemy is mainly a slow moving animation locked weak fodder. So you make enemies that don't follow that design choice. But Capcom still chooses to allow the player to play as Nemesis and Mr. X which both suffer from the same issue of just being unfun to play with how awkward they move and how slow they are. Sure they're powerful and cool for the player, but they aren't enjoyable to control.
Outbreak! That’s all there is to it, but these PVP game are such cheap and easy things to make. What I don’t understand is none of them are popular. Why not give players the MP experience of Outbreak? I guarantee you fans will support it. I’d be playing it even after beating all scenarios.
Personally, they should really ditch the PvP direction and just bring back Outbreak.
Campaign co-op or even a horde mode would be good I hate pvp RE as a franchise doesn't need pvp. What's next RE9 has battle royal like Fortnite?
They should just do some kind of co-op horde mode with a twist. PvP just doesn't make sense for RE.
Call of Duty does zombies better than Resident Evil, a series about zombies.
