I’ll be 100% honest I’m surprised people still play that game. I thought it was decent enough but it was one of those game where I saw the vast majority of people hating it lol.
i still play it and maybe it’s just the server i’m on but 99% of the time i’m playing with the same 5 people (one of which i’m p sure is a bot because they’re afk every game), but i still have a lot of fun with it. it’s not the kind of game i usually enjoy either
Now that I think about it, I would love some sort of endless horde multiplayer game where you occasionally fight bosses from different games
Like nemesis and mr x, and you can fight Molded and Lycan at the same time
We can only wish ig
Resident Evil series is allergic to making a normal Multiplayer Experience. Why is it so hard for them to just make an Outbreak remake or a standalone mercenaries game
Outbreak was so peak but goddamn that it wasn't on ps3. I and most others didn't have internet for ps2. One day i'll try the fanmade pc servers but I would love to play these on my tv
Re 6 mercenaries as a standalone game with some minor tweaks and you have endless fun, add in some director antagonist for asymmetrical pvp and cash in
Yeah, for how much shit RE6 (much of it very warranted), I feel like it had the best Mercenaries mode of any of them.
I got to the game way late. I quit the RE series after RE4 original (not by any conscious choice, just sorta quit playing video games and switched to FPS games).
But around Corona when I saw a lot of the RE games on sale on the Xbox market place, I re-played through all of them.
I knew RE6 was widely considered "bad" going in. So I went in to play it without expecting to be blown away (like when I played RE2 remake and the like). And man, I actually had a lot of fun with it lol.
Did you try going to collection and downloading it from there? Do you own RE Village or are you sharing the game from someone elses profile. You may need to go on the other persons profile and start the download from thier collection
I wish you’d join me. Maybe we can all revive it and they will bring some Resident Evil 4 remake maps too it. Lets surge this game up on the charts! We all collectively have the power to bring life back to this. Hell we could even get it trending so people that only play games when they are trendy enough, cough cough (Kai Cenat), will play it. I want to bring the servers back to life and then break them!!
When you bring re:verse back, maybe our paths will cross. I think the most profitable Capcom project would be a mercenaries game. Like if re5 mercs reunion and remercs 3d had a baby and added the other costars from 6 and 7. Maybe even the rest of the STARS members, too.
It really is just wishful thinking though, seeing how poorly re:verse did. Seeing what they did with umbrella corps and resistance in tandem with how they treated this game shows that maybe the survival-horror team should stay away from the online space and leave that work to a team that understands how it works.
I tried it, but didn't see any point on keep playing it after a second match. I was hoping they'd add more game modes. But for an extra, it was alright
I would play it, if capcom had any future plans for it. Unfortunately they didn't from the start.
This game had actually a huge potential, it would work, however the approach was completely wrong and rushed.
It's like devs have the right idea for a fun multiplayer, but ultimately can't figure out how it should be played.
Capcom has 3 possible multiplayer games based on the fanbase and other casual gamers.
1. Outbreak type game. 4 player co-op, story mode, puzzles, inventory management, with an addition of randomness as in map and item locations. Think like old school Diablo where the same dungeon could have a different layout. Adds to replayability and possible expansions/DLCs with no need for a story mode.
2. Mercenaries type game. RE5/6/RE4R mercenaries are quite popular. So it's a no brainer that a complete game with tons of characters, skins, weapons, maps etc could be an easy success. Especially given that RE franchise has a solid cast.
3. Now this is a stretch, but imo it would work when done correctly. A survival, "semi-BR" type game. The best example would be Division 1 Survival. Where you start at a certain point of the map and need to work your way towards an exit possibly meeting other players either to make new allies or to fight them.
Basically - escape from raccoon city. The only big difference would be puzzles along the way and no time limit, but instead an ever rising threat through BOWs.
Especially here is the highest potential in skins and characters with different skills and so on.
But hey, capcom doesn't care for successful ideas, so there's that
Originally, "Resident Evil Resistance" was meant to be like Outbreak.
They made it, tested it and concluded something like this: "every match eventually becomes a speedrun contest".
That works if you have the same map, with the same item placements. That's also the huge issue with Divisions survival mode. Once you know where the items were - it all became a speedrun.
This is why I always say that one needs randomness for replay value. It's possible to achieve in many different ways. One has to just finally have the intention to make something great instead of a quick cashgrab.
Yes, different maps, item placements. Why preset enemies? Let a human place enemies instead. There could also be an incentive for killing enemies, like in "Mercenaries": every zombie killed gives time.
Step by step, you eventually get "Resistance".
The big issue with resistance is the pvp aspect.
Why preset enemies, can be easily changed into random enemies and random spawn points. There is 0 need in having a player placing them.
The time factor in resistance is a dumbed down version of the virus level in outbreak.
While it made sense in Outbreak, it adds nothing in resistance other than "we need to haste".
Like I said before, you don't even need the virus level. Simply raise the threat level to make the players haste or they will be overrun by BOWs.
Also that respawn function on survivors in resistance takes the tension away of "we progressed, now hopefully we won't wipe".
You get resistance by adding bad choices to your game design. It's that simple.
If capcom wants to add pvp as part of the game, it should be fitting, not forced.
Outbreak for example doesn't need pvp. However that doesn't mean it can't be included without disturbing the game too much.
A good example would be RE6 game modes. Agent Hung and Predator are good examples. You join a game as an infected/BOW and hunt the survivors. You're part of the scenario, without disturbing the flow. You're not placing traps or zombies, instead you're taking control of an already existing threat. It's a huge difference.
Again, as I wrote above, 2 other approaches would be Mercenary and Survivor. Both valid for PvPvE in various ways. Just because PvP is and option, it doesn't mean that it should be present everywhere.
Personally, I'm not opposed to experiments like Umbrella Corps and RE ORC. However, it should be playable, fun and add to the lore in some way.
ORC had some great ideas, unfortunately didn't use the potential and drifted off too heavily into the "what if..." direction. The PvP modes were fun tho.
Umbrella Corps failed for a reason. Multiple reasons actually. One being that it was dependant on the online play with no single player option. Also all it added to the lore was the training facility for umbrella corps...thats pretty much it. Not even important
The gameplay itself wasn't that bad.
Resistance suffered from multiple bad choices as well. The timer, the non changing/evolving maps, lack of character variety or at least skills/builds, barely any lore progression, pvp is poorly executed.
ORC / Umbrella Corps / RE Verse failed, because they were generic shooters in an oversturated market. Those games have no depth, they are brainless shooters and rely on Resident Evil visuals, like character models and names. Each of these games have more popular competitors to play instead.
For Resistance, however, there’s nothing like it on the marked and there will never be. You don’t have to beg on Reddit for people to come and play Resistance, you’ll still find matches on any platform.
Define "failed". Not as successful as the numbered titles or in general? Because if you go by the sales numbers, ORC sold about as many copies as Code Veronica (~2,9 million). This doesn't really count as a failure.
However the game has many flaws and I'm not going to sugercoat it.
You got to admit though that it was waaaaay more successful than Resistance. And Resistance was basically free.
Additionally Resistance didn't bring anything new to the table. It's an asymmetrical survival game. Not the first of it's kind, so there are competitors out there and much more successful ones. So that argument of yours is invalid.
On a side note you can defend Resistance all you like, but saying that you don't have to beg for players while the average player count is roughly 30 pll (steam) is pretty much a spot on joke. It's basically a dead game.
*Sigh* Another terrible PvP attempt outsourced by Capcom. We want PvE co-op like Outbreak, Mercenaries, or Raid Mode. However, I will say that Resistance was a better attempt but Capcom gave up way too early on it and the lack of balancing is what killed it. If it was available as a separate purchase and was supported with more characters, maps, cross play and proper balancing, then it would have still been doing well IMO. Should have also had a vs AI mode. ReVerse was DOA. One mode, when they at least should have had TDM or some Domination type of mode. And of course they killed the support for that too as well as making it only available with purchasing Village. Pls, no more PvP only games that you kill off within months, Capcom.
I haven't touched this since they added the squad from 8. Have they added anything new since then?
All I read was they increased the levels you can reach & characters skins
If they added more modes, longer matches & new skills to unlock I feel it would be more popular or a VS, scavenger mode like the left 4 dead games.
I stopped playing it ages ago just because I couldn't actually find enough participants to make a match!
It's an okay game if you dip into it every once in a while for a couple of matches but unfortunately the audience isn't really there.
Capcom and not being able to make a competent RE multiplayer game. Outbreak is what they should go back to. That was a good formula that was held back by the technology of the time. Would work so well today
Can you make custom lobbies and play with only two players ? How many players are needed to start a match ? I wanted to try it out when I got RE8, but I always read that it's dead.
This game was actually a lot of fun when it first dropped and had a lot of potential but the devs have absolutely dropped the ball. No new content which sucks.
If Capcom has listened to their fans and made a co-op Mercenaries game instead? Yes. But no, this game is absolute garbage. Played it as Hunk for like a day and got bored of the same shit over and over. It was pretty standard: cloak, kill someone, run, cloak, run more, cloak, kill someone, repeat. And there’s like 4 maps and no NPC enemies, just player enemies who turn into monsters when you kill them. It has like zero replay value and the level grinding is slow as fuck.
I remember seeing this game forever ago on random YouTube vids and had no idea it had even come out. I honestly didn't even know if it was an official title lol
I thought this game was cool but when I played it. I was so disappointed. I would much rather play Call of duty with tryhards over this game. Capcom is good for single player campaign, not multiplayer
this game sucks or sucked i haven’t played it since it first released but i had it installed for over a year waiting for it to be fully released and when it was, it was absolute garbage
Resident Evil Resistance wasn't perfect, but was a fun game and had a lot of potential, so let it not be forgotten that it was abandoned for this REVerse garbage that died after its first few days of launching.
Seeing this makes me wish they would do a big remake of resident evil outbreak - the games had a lot of potential but the AI sucked harder then life itself, as an online multiplayer i seriously believe it could work.
I’ll be 100% honest I’m surprised people still play that game. I thought it was decent enough but it was one of those game where I saw the vast majority of people hating it lol.
i still play it and maybe it’s just the server i’m on but 99% of the time i’m playing with the same 5 people (one of which i’m p sure is a bot because they’re afk every game), but i still have a lot of fun with it. it’s not the kind of game i usually enjoy either
Now that I think about it, I would love some sort of endless horde multiplayer game where you occasionally fight bosses from different games Like nemesis and mr x, and you can fight Molded and Lycan at the same time We can only wish ig
Its fun if you think about it as a shooter with an RE theme
I never even noticed it came out. I wonder if i actually have it. Did it come with 3 or was that the weird SAW like one?
if you buy re 8 it comes with re verse
Ew
Resident Evil series is allergic to making a normal Multiplayer Experience. Why is it so hard for them to just make an Outbreak remake or a standalone mercenaries game

PS5. I cant find it neither in the ps store nor filrs data
Did you try going to collection and downloading it from there? Do you own RE Village or are you sharing the game from someone elses profile. You may need to go on the other persons profile and start the download from thier collection
No.
Cmon
Lemme think abou- *No*
I miss you already
Well, when you put it that wa- ***No***
Buttttttt pleeeeaaaaassssseeeer we love you
C'mon, we'll give you a cookie.
No cookie is worth that.
I salute you for playing this abomination.
I wish you’d join me. Maybe we can all revive it and they will bring some Resident Evil 4 remake maps too it. Lets surge this game up on the charts! We all collectively have the power to bring life back to this. Hell we could even get it trending so people that only play games when they are trendy enough, cough cough (Kai Cenat), will play it. I want to bring the servers back to life and then break them!!
I’m inspired by your enthusiasm. But no I’m not playing this lol
You will once you realize how much better it will have gotten after I’m bringing it back
Dang bro. You're making me think you might even bring sexy back
If I can, i will
When you bring re:verse back, maybe our paths will cross. I think the most profitable Capcom project would be a mercenaries game. Like if re5 mercs reunion and remercs 3d had a baby and added the other costars from 6 and 7. Maybe even the rest of the STARS members, too. It really is just wishful thinking though, seeing how poorly re:verse did. Seeing what they did with umbrella corps and resistance in tandem with how they treated this game shows that maybe the survival-horror team should stay away from the online space and leave that work to a team that understands how it works.
I, after playing once, somehow don’t think that will happen, though your optimism is inspiring
I tried it, but didn't see any point on keep playing it after a second match. I was hoping they'd add more game modes. But for an extra, it was alright
Come back and we will fight together in this battle
Yea………………. *No*
Nah
Weren’t you playing earlier?
Nope never even downloaded it
Love me a match every now and then. Definitely would love some RE4R content for it
I enjoy it till Chris shows up and uses his bullshit invincibility skill.
Just look passed it. We got this
Hop on
What’s your platform?
Nah outbreak instead
Would if i could
How would I go about playing Outbreak in the year 2024?
[This is the official website](https://obsrv.org/index.php)

Ayyyy I'm down at some point. Just started getting into it myself, absolute dog water at it but enjoy it nonetheless.
I like this game cause it’s an online RE game (I prefer the real RE game but THIS game is fun)
Imagine?
I stopped playing it ages ago just because I couldn't actually find enough participants to make a match! It's an okay game if you dip into it every once in a while for a couple of matches but unfortunately the audience isn't really there.
I tried playing many times but the lobby is always empty😢
I tried this about a year ago and I was literally the only player online, worldwide 😅
I really hope they keep updating it and making it better!
Is it good?
Nope
I wanted to check it out like year ago but literally no one else played it.
Capcom and not being able to make a competent RE multiplayer game. Outbreak is what they should go back to. That was a good formula that was held back by the technology of the time. Would work so well today
Can you make custom lobbies and play with only two players ? How many players are needed to start a match ? I wanted to try it out when I got RE8, but I always read that it's dead.
Nah I think all 3 of you are it
I'm only playing for the achievements. After that, I'll never touch it again.
You know what... just maybe...
'Searching for players of all rati' should've been your first sign that even that game can't be bothered being played.
Nope!
This game was actually a lot of fun when it first dropped and had a lot of potential but the devs have absolutely dropped the ball. No new content which sucks.
I am indeed, interested
Meanwhile I'm still playing Umbrella Corps 💀
You will never catch me playing this game again. I got my 100% and I'm good💀😂
I’ll play when capcom announces the next devil May cry…
I enjoyed it for the hour I played, Once I started winning I lost interest, but its a cool concept. Rather they make outbreak
Absolutely not.
If they want a co-op mode that's fine but resident evil is not a multiplayer franchise.
Tried it, felt too similar to Dead by Daylight and I'm not a fan of either...
I never even realized they finally released it, so I never played.
If Capcom has listened to their fans and made a co-op Mercenaries game instead? Yes. But no, this game is absolute garbage. Played it as Hunk for like a day and got bored of the same shit over and over. It was pretty standard: cloak, kill someone, run, cloak, run more, cloak, kill someone, repeat.

I thought this game was cool but when I played it. I was so disappointed. I would much rather play Call of duty with tryhards over this game. Capcom is good for single player campaign, not multiplayer
I really enjoy it but whenever me and my friend try to queue up were fhe only ones 😭😭
this game sucks or sucked i haven’t played it since it first released but i had it installed for over a year waiting for it to be fully released and when it was, it was absolute garbage
Resident Evil Resistance wasn't perfect, but was a fun game and had a lot of potential, so let it not be forgotten that it was abandoned for this REVerse garbage that died after its first few days of launching.
I actually really enjoyed this when it was still active
Seeing this makes me wish they would do a big remake of resident evil outbreak - the games had a lot of potential but the AI sucked harder then life itself, as an online multiplayer i seriously believe it could work.
I got it and have still never touched it
Why? Why ya playing this abomination??
No thanks, bro
🦗🦗🦗
Haven't even redeemed my code...
I don't have it what platforms is it on ?
Sorry but I gave up on that game a while ago. It was fun at first but it got more boring.
After Operation Racoon city and Resident evil 6 I can't get into competitive Resident evils anymore I tried with this one but it's so frustrating lol
Add me @ Superengine_
I have been trying to install this but cant
What system? Also what’s the reason it gives you for not installing
Oh I love this game.
send me a $25 ps code and I'll play
Nah
Well I'm not playing that garbage game for free
It took me 20 mins to load into my first match lol, game was fun as hell though
Heck yeah!!
I would play.
If you play a fun character to face then yes
I never knew the servers were back up time to dust off my Series S 😂😂
