Capcom Talks On Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D/Revelations

[BLSR1]

I hope the "8" doesn't include unlockable characters.

I want:
Nicolai (3)
Alfred (CV)
Ada (2)
David (Outbreak)
Louis (4)
Leon (RE2 only plz)
Ark (Survivor, JUST BECAUSE THERE IS 1ST PERSON AIMING.)

I really hope the alternate costumes aren't lazy rips from RE5/RE4.
*because I get off to making lists*
Jill(RE1 or RE3 police cop)
Chris(CV)
Clair(RE2 alternate)
Jack (shirtless and mutant)
Barry (I know it wont happen but I want a "douglass the flasher" costume from SH3)
Rebecca (Sailor moon costume)
Wesker (Shirtless)
HUNK (Also won't happen, but I want a psycho mantis costume)

8 characters for a full retail Mercs game? Lol.

I like the update on Revelations. To me it sounds like the "Code Veronica" of this generation, in terms of how long the game might be and it not being a numbered (but important) but important title.

Except the main reason CODE: Veronica was so long was because it was padded with a ridiculous amount of unnecessary backtracking. Hopefully Revelations won't follow suit.

I know! If the game only contains 8 characters and the rest are DLC, that will seriously make me question purchase of this game. -And that sucks, because I was really looking forward to it. I'm hoping that the "8" characters are the playable characters the game starts with, and the rest are unlockable.. Wishful thinking?..

good to know I'm not the only one that wants Ark just because

[Xander Ashford]

I think they definitely have some potential here at choosing characters other than those we are clearly expecting. I would love to see Alfred Ashford, and am interested to see the stance Capcom would take on him if they did actually use him. I think it would be funny to have his physical moves be on the feminine side. Have him slap enemies and do a really girly scream when grabbed.

I think it would be fun also to have a character like Alexia that can mutate after a certain amount of damage, and quickly wipe out enemies in Tyrant form to round up some last few second points.

A mutating Birkin would also be nice...Will Capcom add anything like this? I severly doubt it.

|AA|

Sigh, you are not alone. As much as I would love to see Alfred, I think they would add Alexia before him. Which would be pretty damn sweet anyway. Would be nice to have another female on the roster.. But CAPCOM would sooner make 7000 Jill alternates before that was even close to being considered.. There's always DLC, I guess..

See, I actually disagree with you. I believe if I ever saw an Ashford in a Mercenaries type game, it would definitely be Alfred. Alfred is more realistic with actually being in that type of game: He has a vast knowledge of weapons, military training background, et cetera.

Alexia on the other hand just doesn't fit. Sure, we see her in CODE: Veronica with a gun, but she never fires it. She just doesn't fit that Mercenaries mold. Unless, we are going to have her in that Tyrant form where she just burns the crap out of everything that comes near her, I doubt to ever see her make an appearance.

Plus, Alfred seems to be the more popular of the twins due to his eccentric and humorous nature (to most people anyway...I've always preferred Alexia).

Still, I would be happy to see either Ashford make an appearance, but am not holding my breath.

Yeah, you have a good point! I definitely imagined Tyrant Alexia opposed to the human one. But none of this speculation really matters since it isn't going to happen.. (They'd sooner put Alice in the game before an Ashford..) Never get your hopes with a RE game! Learned that lesson with 5.. Oh well, still looking forward to Mercs.. (Unless it's only eight characters.. ..)

[Vector]

More likely 8 characters, 2 different costumes and weapon sets for each, so 16 'characters' in total.

Damn. Hate when they count alternate outfits as characters.. Especially since we can now choose our own weapon sets, so alternates are only for aesthetic purposes..

But still.. My desire to play RE in 3D and on the go is overriding my better senses.. Damn you to hell CAPCOM. (Give me a shirtless Wesker and we will be even. ..)

[BLSR1]

Put every character in the game shirtless and it will get a 10/10.

[Det. Beauregard]

They'd better give us shirtless Tofu!

This could be a fun multiplayer mode. A few survivors facing off against a Tyrant controlled by another player. Maybe a T-103, Nemesis, G-Mutant Birkins, and a classic tyrant.

The B.O.W.s could have certain abilities with cool down timers, and massive amounts of health. So it would take teamwork to take them out.

Of course this is wishful thinking.

Yes, something to that effect IS what Capcom should do. Or at least have it as another mode of play. Mercenaries is fun, but it does get rather repetitive after a while. Plus, once you figure out characters and the map layout, it becomes difficult to surpass your high score.

Dead Space 2 had an interesting multiplayer mode to where four people were playing as Isaac Clarke-type individuals, and the other four players got to choose a Necromorph to play as. To me, this is good in concept, but Dead Space 2's version needed a little bit of work because I found that to be boring.

I seriously enjoy games like the Rampage series where you play as a monster destroying buildings and eating people. It would be freaking awesome to take down USBC members and police officers as G-Birkin or Mutated Wesker.

We could even have regular characters be the "bosses" for the map...Chris, Claire, Jill, et cetera...And they respawn with better weapons.
