Capcom to announce new Resident Evil title ‘Project Resistance’ for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 9

I think people reasoning is:
-Capcom are listening to fans and remaking RE2
-RE2 Remake is actually good
-Capcom are no longer trash
-Capcom announce an MP RE game
-Capcom are no longer trash so this must be a new Outbreak
-But actually Capcom release the teaser confirming they are indeed still trash


They were. I knew this wasn't going to be a game like Outbreak, the moment those pics of the characters leaked. From what I gather of the teaser, one player controls the monsters (spawns them has direct control) whilst the others survive. Like the director in L4D. This is pretty much RE L4D, as I expected.

Capcom has never been trash

So, I'm not going to suddenly shit on it because of a rendered trailer/teaser. I'll be as cautiously optimistic as I usually am with a new RE title. That being said, all of the RE spin off games have not been that great at all. It'd be really cool to see that curse break though. Guess we'll see where this goes, we'll find out soon enough.

Obvious asset dump cash grab. But hey, could be fun with friends. Can't knock it until I've seen some gameplay.

It looks like it's gonna be a co-op multiplayer game, yet there were zero suplexes in that teaser. Mmmm...

Gonna wait till they show actual gameplay, but this trailer is failing at making me excited for the game, that's for sure.

Yup. Didn't he mention that RE2 would get an option for switching between OTS and fixed camera perspective?

I wouldn't take everything he says as true.
They "tried" fixed camera and it sucked so they ditched it, as per a like 5 second dev video sequence I can't find anymore. I put tried in quotes, because what they actually did was design the levels and enviroment for TPS and then shat a floating camera in the distance facing at you. It was lazy as shit, you need to specifically composite detail and perspective in shots and design levels with that in mind for it to be good, ala the first remake, which they didn't do, and when it was about as good as the effort put into it, their galaxybrain takeaway was that fixed camera bad.

WTF Capcom. Literally no one asked for this.

? Several people on here and all over the RE community have been waiting for Outbreak 3...this is that besides the name. I'm 100% ok with this. It was a sound concept and ahead of its time considering L4D wasn't even a thing when Outbreak 1 and 2 released.

This is like Mr. X saw "Saw" the movie and wanted to play a little game.

I wanted outbreak, not this judging by the trailer.
 
I swear this better not be like Left 4 Dead. Don't get me wrong , I love L4D but there wasn't any puzzle solving in that game. What made Outbreak a different experience is that your put in the world of RE with 3 other people and we all have to work together to solve puzzles, and gather fire power in order to escape.

? huh?


What made Outbreak a different experience


Ok...one came before the other. Left 4 Dead base concept is Outbreak... 4 people playing fighting stuff. Anything from outbreak like puzzles and fighting RE monsters and ablitities will likely still be in this new title as I don't see a reason for it not to be.


your put in the world of RE with 3 other people and we all have to work together to solve puzzles, and gather fire power in order to escape.

Well...my friend, that is very much what I can see in this trailer as you see they have different weapons like a person is holding a bat (in Outbreak you could pick up lots of random items like that) , you see its CLEARLY "in the world of RE" and seeing the area they are in the trailer, I don't think they just let them in with zero locked doors, clearly something will be in place that allows them to go from one area to the next like in Outbreak 1 and 2. So the whole Left 4 Dead comment makes no sense as Outbreak comes before L4D, the base concept would still be intact which is the base concept for Outbreak as that is the game that started that, not L4D... So by default this will be similar to Left 4 Dead as Left 4 Dead IS Outbreaks entire concept outside of a few differences. So its a moot point.

How about giving us the continuation from the cliffhanger in RE: Revelations 2 instead; that's effing long overdue! Is it just me or has everyone else forgotten that game?!

PS: I don't care what everyone else says. RE:Rev2 Claire looks BETTER than RE2:Remake Claire. But of course, the one Claire to rule them all, is Darkside Chronicle Claire.

Different team, they have several RE teams btw, for all you know they are currently working on Revelations 3.

RE2 remake Clair is also younger as they need to still represent the time line. (I personally like RE2 remake Claire better)

DC Claire is pretty great but I gotta give the edge to REmake Claire

I realize that Claire from Darkside Chronicles was cgi back in the day, but that shit is easily done in-game these days.

I know one came before the other but think about how many popular zombie coop games that have came after that weren't, game play wise, like Outbreak. It's not far fetch to think that MAYBE Capcom would want to make this more of a straightforward coop zombie shooter to broaden the appeal.


The trailer doesn't indicate anything other then yes this will be a coop game in the RE universe. Just by judging from the trailer, how does the Left 4 Dead comparison not make any sense? I'm just saying, Capcom has been in a row but they can still messed this up, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

The RE2 remake was shit so I'm not expecting much.

You will never get a game like RE: Outbreak again. Outbreak was full of old school RE elements which have since been discarded.

I've heard so many good things about Outbreak, and it went completely under the radar back in the day, so never got to play it. It would be sick with some sort of remaster on the PC with widescreen/high-res/unlocked framerate.

This is an unpopular opinion, but the last great Resi was 6. It was damn sexy and fun to play. It's just adrenaline fueled action through and through. It didn't take itself too seriously and was hardly horror, but great cinematography, level design, solid gameplay/mechanics and VA-work; it bloody had Archimonde(Warcraft 3)/David Lodge voice the main villain, which was so cool.

I realize that Re7 was well-received across the board, like RE2:Remake, but those games just didn't do it for me. Re7 didn't feel like a Resi game(nobody from the OG cast, and fake Chris doesn't count), and RE2:remake felt too neutered compared to classic RE2. The RE2:Remake does not even come CLOSE to the genius that was the Gamecube RE: Remake....that shit was da bomb, man.

The characters needs more japanese influence to feel proper RE. The games usually are set in the USA, but the best designs in the series, characters and background were not "north american" but "what a japanese artist thinks is the USA without a proper research". No irony, I love this aspect of the franchise.

These characters seems a little bit too mundane IMO.

Claire looked fantastic in-game and in-motion. I can grab a still of any character looking hideous if I go to youtube and randomly pause during a cutscene.

Well, I guess case closed, inspector Gadget; enjoy your waifu.

I dare you to find a still of DC Claire, where she looks hideous; she'd look gorgeous even while taking a shit....having constipation!

I think its a stretch to assume they would remove what they themselves actually started. Left 4 Dead is copying their concept, not the other way around. What is already confirmed is yes, it has puzzles, yes the players have different features and abilities just like Outbreak.....this pretty much is Outbreak 3.

" how does the Left 4 Dead comparison not make any sense?" Well for starters "I know one came before the other" as in, its a moot point. You are trying to compare them to the people that COPIED THEM....

Soooo Left 4 Dead compares to Outbreak, Outbreak doesn't compare to Left 4 Dead, one copied the other.... thus its a moot point. It would be like saying zombies and team work in this game was copied from Left 4 Dead as if you just forget YOU YOURSELF posted this "I know one came before the other". If you know that, then you know its a moot point consider one clearly deeply influenced the other. So this is as I expected it, like Outbreak series with RE7 and RE2 features, controls, engine etc. I see no reason to worry about anything regarding Left 4 Dead. The new trailer very much shows its very much continuing the Outbreak concept. Co-op, puzzles, abilities etc. So I'm not picky and spoiled about my titles, this game could have never existed so I'm 100% ok with what it is as I'm just asking for base Outbreak features in a new engine and this pretty much is it.

Left 4 Dead is the very base concept of Outbreak, as in 4 folks online fighting stuff and pretty much no puzzles (not talking about mods). It would be like asking if Outbreak will remove all features and just be about nothing but 4 people with no ability and just going to rooms of fighting stuff when nothing really points to them stripping the game of features and having less then what they did 15 years ago. Based on how RE7 and RE2 work, dear god...you'd need to even REMOVE those features to aim for that, so its just very unlikely and I'm not sure why anyone thought such a thing might happen when Outbreak had more features then Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead came out after. So them being like each other again is moot if you consider the very base of Left 4 Dead is killing stuff with 4 people, by default that is what you'd be doing in this game ON TOP of all the other features.

Nope.

The characters in RE have always been made to look like people from the west. I mean...my friend, its based on a MID WESTERN TOWN in America called Raccoon City. The only character that actually doesn't look western is Ada Wong and thats because clearly Ada WONG's character is Asian.

but the best designs in the series, characters

Thats 100% incorrect. The majority of the characters were designed to look western as that is the point, the only ones that don't are clearly other ethnicities.

yea so......pretty sure they are designed to look like they are from America cause they are....well from America.
 
I thought that this game had potential, but that god damn Mr. X ruined RE2 Remake for me and here he is ruining this game too. I don’t like how it’s one person controlling enemies. A true Outbreak 3 would have been awesome, but this game is far from what I want. Hard pass for me.

This is anything but Outbreak and more like a take on Friday the 13th which literally no one asked for. Have you played Outbreak youself on PS2 back when it came out? I didn't, but at least I've watched RE retrospective to see what it is and what its all about. Also, just because you can do something like Friday the 13th doesn't mean you should, especially if you care about your great games streak this year and care about your brand. This is just Capcom chasing for trands to quikly cash in, plain and simple.

I'm not talking about ethnicity. Yes, most characters seems western, obviously. I'm talking about clothes, fashion, city design. There is a little bit of japanese feeling in the art, like RE3 Raccon City, for example. It seems more organized and have some japanese architecture influences here and there.

If a western studio made the RE1 Jill design, they would probably make her clothes less cute and/or more mundane. If we were in the 90s she would be sexier and more badass. There is no right or wrong. But I appretiate the japanese sensibilities of the classic RE games.
