Just to clear it up for those that don't appreciate irony, the horror of Resident evil is not the exquisite dialog and compelling story line. It's the fact that put quite simply, this game absolutely sucks.
I apologise in advance for the rant. But the quality of game play alone is completely below par, so much that even attempting the Chris or Jake play through's are nothing more than a sad and depressing chore , how the developers seem to have abandoned all passion for what the franchise started out as and built its reputation on is a complete mystery to me.
Even the Resident evil films are looking like works of art in comparison to this lackluster attempt at a horror genre.
Capcom have essentially erased the magic of Resident evil by trying to make it 3 different games rolled into one, One of them being a Gears of War ( the Chris play through ) doppelganger that barely comes close to being anywhere near as good.
I feel the direction they have taken Resi needs to come to a screeching halt and go back to basic idea of being a pulse pounding tense horror/thriler. I even feel as though "Operation Racoon City" and "Outbreak" even put it to shame and I can't see myself buying another until someone at Capcom has an epiphany and understands the fun stopped in 2009 with Resi 5.
I admit to being a bit of a cynic at times and maybe I'm just blowing steam after my disappointment, Or maybe a lot of people out there feel the same way, regardless let me know what you all think, there might be someone out there with a convincing enough arguement to make me see a better side to the game.
Raiding and free-to-play battles topped the charts in January.
Hunt deadly machines in tactical three-player co-op action and adapt your Hunter for intense missions.
I signed up for the closed beta. I need to see how the gameplay is first and foremost.
This looks like a MH mixed with modern Battle Royal concepts. My problem is that big studios are less and less making SP games and more are focusing on MP games with a focus on live service. I just don't care about playing with other people and thereby being 'sold' the idea that I have to keep feeding money to play with them and look cool doing it. I'll keep looking to Indies for my SP fix most of the time it seems.
The excuse here seems to be “it has a narrative so it can be played solo…you happy” and it’s like come on, this is a co-op focused game first and foremost, the solo side of it will probably be terrible and is there purely for show.
Nah, it can't. The gameplay they talked about requires multiple people and it's time limited. So you're just repeating the procedurally created scenarios with random enemies and buffs over and over. I highly doubt they're pulling off a Hades type of narrative with it. Just feeding that 15 minute MP desire with more future modes that will surely end up being rotated in on a weekly or so basis because you don't want to split the community too much between too many modes.
MonsterVine: "My Hero Academia: All’s Justice delivers explosive arena combat and a strong roster, but uneven singleplayer modes and frustrating encounters hold it back."
RE Outbreak was the last chapters of the series that where truly Survival Horror and had the classic elements of the series. I think releasing RE Outbreak 1 and 2 for PSN with full online could help get the series in the right direction.
RE6 is bad, there is no argument in this world that will make it seem like a good game.
Very good idea! Despite being a really fun game maybe for maximum enjoyment it was released on the wrong generation of console.Perhaps releasing a new Outbreak 3 could be just the blend of old style nostalgia and fresh perspective for most of the people that joined the series late.
