Yeah this one really is a bummer. I wish that Capcom would have instead put that investment into some more content for the game it came with, or rather into something else new. Chasing that megadollar is enticing to be sure, but this definitely isn't it. I actually think that they could make a winner if they really wanted, but I suspect they don't want to put that kind of capital up front. Even back when I first finished RE 2 when it launched I was obsessed with the world they built and dreamt of a large sprawling city where the players could try to survive as long as possible. Different spawn locations offered totally different routes, encounters and endings with various characters to meet and maybe negotiate with and save.
I wish we had some sort of huge city survival horror RE game. Or even different smaller locations, like the Mansion and other places. Instead of a game like The Dark Pictures this could be a normal RE game except the players play the Stars team, maybe two runs as the A and B team. I dunno just fantasizing. Each character with their specialties, able to access different areas. Starting gear would vary as well. Maybe random events could roll up separate variables.
Or just a proper Outbreak remaster and a new game. Or putting that money into RE3 with all the content and more. Still, greatly looking forward to 4 Remake.
