Not this shit again....

 

[Loomy]

Hey, at least they figured out it was the wrong direction. I'm all for developers trying new things, but this sounds like it shouldn't have left the pitch session lol.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man, why is Capcom SO adamant about multiplayer and Resident Evil? It's SO weird to me. I feel like the only thing that got it right was Outbreak, and bizarrely enough everything they've tried after it was nothing like it, lol. At least they backed out of it here.

I'll still never forget working at PAX (can't remember if it was East or West) and helping setup the booth for the weekend and saw Capcom's booth was setup and I heard they had something new with them. I ran over to check it out as they were letting exhibitors play and I soon found out it was Umbrella Corps. My immediate reaction was, "Wtf is this and why?!" lmao.

open-world multiplayer game

What in the actual fuck

 

[Bitstream]

Hey you guys know how we make those linear, narrative focused single player resident evil games that everyone seems to love?
Well, we should make one that's not like that at all

 

[Nankatsu]

I would fancy something like Outbreak, not gonna lie.

 

[Gonzito]

 

[PauloRoberto]

IMHO this conpect would ONLY work if it's not a 'open-world', but a 'open-place', kinda like racoon city on RE3 (of course, the original version, not that shitty remake) or (and im stretching the concept here) the village on resident evil VIII

Edit: of course not the multiplayer part, that is stupid

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Ah yes, the same Dusk Golem that also said the PS5 version of RE: Village was near unplayable a few months before release and that RE3 remake was going to be semi open world with trains serving as fast travel points.

As you can see, he's clearly reliable.

 

[DForce]

Just remake Outbreak.
That's it.

"Began development as"

DMC started as Resident Evil 4.

That POC from Retro turned into Metroid Prime.

What matters is that they give us a true sequel to RE Village and stop fucking around.

Idea

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Why will they not just stop trying to shoehorn multiplayer into these fucking games?

No one wants it you retards

I could be wrong but I'm sure Dusk Golem was just a moderator on Capcom's Forums during the GCN era and has zero actual connections.
if it's him, he also claimed to have contacts and was proven wrong multiple times there.
Especially with he insistence on RE4 staying exclusive to Nintendo.

Sounded awesome, shame they cancelled it. RE9 will probably be another game set in flat corridors.

If they could create something where they combined this idea with Outbreak-like mechanics, I'm sure more people would be down.

They're adamant about it because they got it right multiple times:

Everyone can see that there's something there, but it's up to Capcom themselves to figure out the best course of action, which means they will keep throwing stuff at a wall until something sticks.

I would pay actual money for a journalist to go abroad and simply suggest to the RE devs to try out Lethal Company. Guaranteed Outbreak reboot/successor once they realize LC exists and has a large fanbase behind it.

Edit: And I'm suggesting this because Capcom has been completely oblivious to popular games and fan demand in the past, so of course they would probably be oblivious to Lethal Company's existence.

Could be worst... Could be raining...

 

[poodaddy]

 

[Shaki12345]

Capcom knows and has proven how to make great RE games.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Game will be great.

Did they? I mean, of course I didn't really think to include Mercenaries and I wasn't sure if it was really multiplayer based as I've only done solo. Also, I never touched Revelations 1/2. But I was always under the assumption that Outbreak was the one the community loved the most.

Spinoffs whatever fine...a lesson or two, just don't fuck up a mainline entry. And this here is a clear example if no one really cares about the RE IP going off track just stop fiddling with MP then just move on. People love this series for a reason, just give them exactly that and grab the money.

 

[Parazels]

I don't mind good open world games, but an open world Resident Evil sounds disgusting as hell. Just give me another linear, but chilling story, Capcom.

 

[Killer8]

Even if they change course on this one (probably for the best if it's a mainline entry), they should still experiment with another Outbreak-style multiplayer spin-off. Those games were great.

Leave all the DBD rip-off and PvP multiplayer games like Resident Evil Resistance and Re:Verse in the trash and give the people what they want.

They did. Raid Mode and Mercenaries have their own fanbases, but obviously the one everyone misses the most will always be Outbreak because it never got a second chance outside of a generation that wasn't really known for online play.

Some people (myself included) are even bold enough to say that Raid Mode is the true Revelations 2 experience, due to how well built it is as a mode. It might as well have been another game on it's own.

Take things Dusk says with a grain of salt.

I don't mind a spin-off. But a main RE game that is multiplayer! Capcom should know better.

Let me guess....GASS shit ?
Please God....please not a GASS shit....

 

[Parazels]

I don't mind a spin-off. But a main RE game that is multiplayer! Capcom should know better.

As for me a RE spinoff shouldn't deviate too far from the main gameplay paradigm.

It sounds bad but I had fun with older multiplayer REs particularly the Outbreak series. The only thing questionable is the open world bit.

 

[Calverz]

DuskGolem still giving us the goods I see.

what the fuck are you doing capcom ? the current single player RE streak is so amazing, don't break it

Rumor  Thread 'Dusk Golem: Monster Hunter Wilds and Resident Evil 9 will be Open World'

Mar 22, 2024

The insider Dusk Golem, who is (sorta) reliable when it comes to Resident Evil and Silent Hill, has stated via his that Resident Evil 9 will have open-world elements, although he didn't say much.

(1/2) So here's a little tidbit I'll share, Capcom often will greenlight new initiatives in 3's closer together. Decent examples are RE7, RE:2 & DMCV were all Greenlit fairly close together to take advantage of their new RE Engine, & the idea to remake RE:2 inspired them to also
(2/2) take on RE:3 & RE:4 for a remake...

News Rumor  Thread 'Resident Evil 9 details from a German leaker. Says 100% that Resident Evil 9 stars both Jill and Leon'

Jun 14, 2024

This information comes from a German leaker who is apparently very reliable according to the people who follow him. His name is Andi from Screenfire Germany. According to Dusk Golem, Andi (who Dusk Golem only referred to as a foreign leaker) was actually the first person to have leaked the RE0 and RECV Remakes months before Dusk Golem and IGN even commented on them. His source is apparently a Capcom employee that he became good friends with at a Gamescom event.

All of the following information comes from a stream on YouTube, which has been...

News Drama Rumor  Thread 'New Info on Resident Evil 9, Code Veronica Remake, Zero Remake, Future Remakes, Remaster Collection, Capcom USA Influence, Cancelled Games & More'

Jun 17, 2024

A few days ago, a leak was posted on this subreddit based on a video from Screenfire Germany. Unfortunately, the post contained mistranslations and combined personal speculation/ opinion with insider information. The post also didn't cover the whole video.

In the video, which is the recording of a livestream, Andi from Screenfire Germany answers questions from his community. I have watched (I'm German) and combined all the insider information he received from his sources. Some of his answers are vague, and it's not 100% clear where info from...

Let's keep reposting year old "rumours"

 

[JusticeForAll]

That sounds horrible.

 

[kiphalfton]

Hey, at least they figured out it was the wrong direction. I'm all for developers trying new things, but this sounds like it shouldn't have left the pitch session lol.

Doesn't mean much if the same shitty core is there.

Granted stuff like Devil May Cry started out as one thing (i.e. a Resident Evil game), but at least it started out as something good.

With this, I think it's more a matter of "Start off with garbage, likely end with garbage."
