I had a friend who is a big RE fan and dug Outbreak. Anyone here played it online?
What, this game doesn't even support keyboard or voice chat via headset? No excuse for that...
i just got it about 2 weeks ago when the 10$ EB deal was posted here. best 10$ ive spent all year. i love it. (warning: i love the RE series).
offline is pretty cool, but the co-op AI is hit and miss. there are a TON of unlockables and secrets to find, if you're into that kind of thing. its short, only 5 levels, all easily completed in under an hour to 15 min, if you know the route.
online is awesome. i like online co-op as it is, so that helps. and ive actually met some really cool players/people this late in the games life. it really reminds me of PSO's challenge mode. 4 player co-op, item management/sharing, timed runs for rank, etc.
you can chat in the game room before hand to lay out some sort of plan, or just wing it.
not only do i feel like ingame chat would kind of ruin it, i also dont think that you need to be standing around chatting when you should be completeing objectives, killing baddies, helping out teammates etc. the games only last so long. once you know the route on the difficulty you are playing on 9i caught on pretty quick in file 1), you really should just be doing your job: picking locks, bashing down doors, healing teammates, retrieving items, solving puzzles, etc. -and try to kick the level's ass.
it would really almost feel like cheating to be able to communicate exactly what you want to say to a teammate, as wierd as that sounds. (might sounds like damage controll, but it seems to make perfect sense to me).
im buying it.
