Resident Evil Online

[Spera01]

I wanna play Outbreak again after watching that. Damn you Capcom, a William boss fight would of been awesome!

[TheSelfishGene]

If it's any condolence to anyone who still cares, Capcom did say that the multiplayer component of Biohazard 5 (being insanely linear) will be a test and they will assess the responses to it. If the responses are positive, that will be the multiplayer of the Biohazard franchise and Outbreak will be done away with entirely, If it is not well recieved, Capcom will consider an Outbreak File 3 or some other alternative multiplayer component to the Biohazard franchise.

Do you have sources or quotes to back this up?

You can actually export the Birkin model from Outbreak seen in the trailer.

I don't understand why they think a outbreak file 3 won't do good other than the other two didn't do well. With the new consoles, there is alot more they can do and think it would be a great idea. Metal Gear Soild did it, why not one more time. I hope they stick to the old style because if it is some RE 4-Halo shoot em up then I have no interest.

It show some areas for the locations that can't be found in the game.

That's some awesome stuff!
He describes that he could get other players there using "shoulder danger". Does he mean a shoulder charge? As in ramming other players through the wall? Sadly, I don't think it could be done in single player mode (I think I'll have to try it though).

The area in which Kevin is crawling is used in the 'cold comfort' alternate ending to Underbely in Outbreak file #2.

Ah, okay... I also realized that the hole in the roof might be from File2 Flashback scenario.
I'm not surprised to see scenes from File2 in the Online trailer. I also have a magazine article that came out before the 1st games release. It had a bunch of screens, many of which were File2 locations. Meaning... Most (possibly all) of the environments from File2, were already created before the 1st game was released.

William looks really... awkward in the trailer/your pics. I can't tell if he's in G-1 or G-2 form.

Yeah, he looks weird but it's definitely him in his tattered white shirt. He has his big claw on his right hand, so it must be G-2 form.

Wow! That's actually inside the Outbreak game disk?

There were 20 scenarios?! I am SO curious to know more about these!
I wonder if Capcom has all the old, unused Outbreak stuff, crammed into a cabinet or desk draw? (next to the 1.5 material)
I've been thinking about this and I know it will never happen but here's my wish: They should release Outbreak File1&2 on the PSN, then use all the left overs from RE-Online to make a File3, as PS3 and PSP downloads!
There is a big demand for RE/Biohazard stuff. Last time I checked Biohazard2 and Director's Cut are in the top 10 downloads on the Japanese PSN. People are obviously willing to pay to play old PS1 games, so surely they would be willing to pay to play old PS2 games aswell. That would be 3 more games they could charge people for.
The games could be more popular now because the PS3 and PSP are much easier to get online with (everyone with a PS3 has it hooked up online).
Then, assuming sales have been good, Capcom could look at releasing an all new high-def Outbreak4 for PS3/360!
Please Capcom, PLEASE!!!

Is that a corpse Birkin is holding?

[BLSR1]

fyi It shouldn't be Outbreak File 3
that implies it is another expansion

IT should be Outbreak 2


Also. Who else thinks it would be interesting to see some scenarios set on sheena island?

[mamock116]

does anyone still play outbreak online?

[Mr_Zombie]

Servers for both Outbreak games are shut down, at least in Europe and America, I think they are still open in Japan.

That's very interesting. Are there any more of such weird models? Its quite a strong evidence that he was initially planned to be in the game but was taken out...

and what's with the floating body by the monster arm of that render?

[Zomby]

I really hope they stop making games for the Wii, BH games on the PS3 or Xbox 360 are a lot better and make more fun

[mamock116]

^i dont, the wii is a good platform which is currently beating all the other consoles. the main downside of the wii is its graphics but so far a game hasn't came out to push it to its limits; keep in mind it is aobut twice as fast as the gamecube

Wii release count: 3
Next-Gen release count: 0

So no Resident Evil games are better and more fun than Wii releases?

Graphics didn't seem to stop people last gen from praising Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil Rebirth and Resident Evil 4. And quite frankly, those games still hold up very well today too. I was giving Zero a spin on the Wii the other day and it certainly looked better in terms of presentation than many so called "next-gen" games.

Who else would like to see some events from Sheena island in the next outbreak game?
That's a lot of fresh material for capcom to work with

"Online Co-Op in RE5 is the evolution of the RE: Outbreak series."

TAS of Capcom.

Comment : What a liar, in terms of multiplayer, online co-op of a linear singleplayer campaign is a step backward, not in anyway an evolution.
