You can't start 20th anniversary like this Capcom

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I never actually played it but ORC looked wayyyyyyyy more interesting than this filth. And if that was bad I have no expectations for this.

 

[ZombieFred]

This has made my day. Capcom super trolled the 20th special with some crappy side game!

 

[Mass One]

Unity

AKA, terrible

No way. Seems like a waste of MT Framework.

The only company credited is Capcom, so it might be internally produced. Couldn't spot any other credits.

So there's a chance. I thought Lost Planet: Colonies had great PvP and ORC worked well in a COOP setting.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Looked alright. Trailer got better as it progressed. Need more details....definitely looks better than other "popular" stuff out there.

 

[Gaogaogao]

no no no no NO

how can capcom be so right (re2hd), and at the same time so wrong?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I've just watched it. This is like a parody trailer. Competitive team-based shooter with an art style that looks out of Killzone 2 and introduced via a dubstep soundtrack. It's like someone took mods from Resi 6 PC and made a trailer to take the piss.

 

[Felensis]

First I thought while they were showing the collage of all RE titles that they were announcing a legacy collection *_*
Then the major let down in form of another boring dudebro shooter. No, thanks! NOT worthy of RE's 20th anniversary -_-

 

[Seyavesh]

No way. Seems like a waste of MT Framework.

It’s been an exciting time lately for Resident Evil fans, and we’ve got yet another piece of exciting news for you. Announced today was Umbrella Corps, a fast-paced, third-person competitive shooter set in the RE universe. Compete online with other players in quick-and-dirty matches in compact battle zones modelled after historic RE environments.

The game will utilize the Unity engine developed by Unity Technologies, which bears no relation to Capcom Unity, but we’ll try to leverage this coincidence for as many puns as possible.

so yeah, it's a unity game and not branded as "resident evil" in it's title
what a weird thing

 

[Rymuth]

IT WAS ON SALE

I laughed.

 

[Nirolak]

It's really Unity. Wow. Okay, that explains why it's a bit visually underwhelming, but it's good to see Capcom using an engine with productivity and the ability to actually ship games in mind.

 

[ArtHands]

Its an online only game

 

[SolarPowered]

I could get angry, but we got Revelations 2, RE0HD on the way and confirmation of REmake 2. I think this is what most people wanted. Some people get their RE7 action game (yeah, they're not horror games, sorry), others get their multiplayer shooters and the old school fans get a little something on the side with GC port remasters and full on remakes.

Life is pretty good for RE fans right now.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

For what it is it actually looks pretty good....

 

[MulderYuffie]

I'll play it but come on guys couldn't we have had an old school RE for RE7?

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Yeah this franchise is dead for me. After the abomination that was Resident Evil 6 I give up.

 

[Zakalwe]

I know they are not related but this killed any excitement I had for REmake 2.

That's the silliest thing I've read today.

 

[luffeN]

Gears crowd not excited? I thought they would be. Looks kinda interesting but this will not be all for the anniversary I guess. There was a timeframe given on the presentation slide that goes into 2017, so probably more games to follow.

 

[SliceSabre]

...


...

...I will play the shit out of this when it comes out. Also bargin price? Come on of course I'm willing to give this game a chance!

 

[Stone Ocean]

That doesn't look bad at all? I mean sure it's no RE7 but the mechanics seem fun and a million times more creative than ORC

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Why is everybody acting like they aren't going to make/ announce RE7 at some point?

They skipping XBO also for this title? What's up with Capcom going full PC/ PS4 lately. Maybe has something to do with crossplatform play?

 

[Gren]

Lol, so it looks like they made a whole game based on that Agent from Ada's co-op campaign in RE6.

To Slant 6's credit, at least the UBCS (and even the more generic Echo Six) team had more personality than these guys.

 

[Rudiano]

Umbrella Corps 11 official screenshots in album http://imgur.com/a/nK5oR

 

[Cave Johnson]

Why don't they use their Panty Raid engine instead?

 

[Mass One]

so yeah, it's a unity game and not branded as "resident evil" in it's title
what a weird thing

Why can't I hold all these fiddles.

Spoiler

Unity isn't a graphical powerhouse but it looks solid.

 

[Dinda]

Just when you think Capcom is returning to form.......

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I get that no one asked for this and I honestly don't care about this game at all, but it's not like RE is a dead franchise being revived solely for this crap, there's been plenty of recent "normal" RE games, and it kind of amuses me to see people preferring Capcom to remake the same game over and over (like another REMake with RE2) despite them being routinely mocked for this.

 

[Finaika]

REmake 2, Dragon's Dogma PC and now this.

Capcom is on a roll!

 

[ArtHands]

Yeah this franchise is dead for me. After the abomination that was Resident Evil 6 I give up.

Then why are you in this thread?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Why don't they use their Panty Raid engine instead?

Because they'd like it to release before 2020.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Then why are you in this thread?

Out of a small curiosity for this game. And to state my discontent about the franchise.

 

[Arion]

Clearly TGS is not where you announce Resi 7. Let's wait for E3 2016.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I thought this was going to be like the legacy collection of Metal Gear, guess not. Don't expect any good RE games from this company that are not remakes.

 

[morikaze]

It's a SPINOFF title. Could be fun.

 

[flipswitch]

Why don't they use their Panty Raid engine instead?

Capcom to drop panties for unity?

 

[Nirolak]

Why don't they use their Panty Raid engine instead?

Because their internal engine is unusable garbage.

 

[Macrotus]

WORTHY OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY!

Spoiler

Thanks lazybones18

that gif already lol

 

[KainXVIII]

fucking Unity lol

:-/

 

[Macrotus]

I wondering if its going to have cross platform multiplayer cause its for PS4 and PC, like SFV is.
Because if it is, PCs going to dominate with mouse and keyboard... So I'm guessing no cross platform.

 

[leroidys]

I thought this was going to be like the legacy collection of Metal Gear, guess not. Don't expect any good RE games from this company that are not remakes.

Revelations/2?

 

[Dictator93]

Because their internal engine is unusable garbage*.

*on console

Ran damn fine on the PC they showed it off on.

Character models look OK, everything else looks not too great.

 

[Mestizo]

>Resident Evil
>20th anniversary
>competitive shooter

Capcom gonna capcom

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Can someone explain the issue with unity?

 

[LordCiego]

I couldnt tell this is in the RE universe even if you hitted me with a read and White umbrella.

Also, Capcom using unity? This looks like a side project retolled as an RE ip game at the last moment.

 

[ArtHands]

Out of a small curiosity for this game. And to state my discontent about the franchise.

That's like deliberately taking a route where it leads to your ex's house, just so you can stop outside her house to bitch about her.

 

[Boogalogist]

First, he talks about some 20th anniversary logo.....worthy of the series. Then he introduces a team shooter? /facepalm

 

[Menome]

Call of Resident Evil

Call off Resident Evil.

 

[Lime]

Can someone explain the issue with unity?

Unity as an engine is fine, but it's more of a symptom that Capcom's own internally developed engine still isn't up to par. In this way, it's a glimpse into the current status of Capcom's development capabilities and management errors (presumably).

 

[Aostia]

don't want to bitch the topic around, but let me at least say that it was the worst game of the Sony conference. Even the artwork is horrible.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Not interested in this at all.
