Resident Evil Online Presentation - E3 2002

Cheers for posting this up J. What a blast from the past. I forgot what Kaz used to look like.

My interest in the series was still at a height at the time this trailer launched, and I remember spending a couple of hours pouring over what little there was between this and a few press screens Capcom released in 2002 trying to work out what the real idea behind the online title was going to be.

It's such a shame it was, even with the general love for the title, quite an uneven release. Aside from the obvious changes in scope to make it work and get it out on time, the way it was handled worldwide and the general clunky concept never quite met what they probably originally wanted.

That said, while everyone says they should bring it back, I personally say they need to come back to the idea at least if not the same games released and given the current online abilities could possibly meet or even surpass the original idea. Can't be any worse than ORC's online and I didn't even really dislike that online component (just disliked the game like most people).

Wow, I thought I'd never have the chance to see it in such quality. To be working on Sony's archives must be an awesome job. I was meaning to ask you though, will you be posting only videos of public presentations or we may be able to see some of the private, press-only ones in the future? I recall a video of BIO ONLINE from the PlayStation Meeting 2002 in February that was never released to the public. It was the first trailer they ever made for the game, I think. Only GPara was able to get five or six screens of it as far as I know. I'll keep my fingers crossed in case you stumble upon it
