Resident Evil 9 Began Development as An Open-World Multiplayer Game – Rumor
Replace the shrinking dome with encroaching waves of zombies that you have to fend off while trying to find an escape in the middle of the map. Would probably be fun for five minutes.

Make a Outbreak 3 Online with the style and gameplay of RE2R to RE4R.

Why is this so god damn difficult for videogame companies to understand these days? They never should have entertained this in the first place!

I'm guessing it's still going to be an "open world" game. I just hope it's closer to God of War than Far Cry
What? RE Engine is really good. I don't think there's been a problematic game released on the engine so far.

It's like RE5 and 6 all over again. Square does this with Final Fantasy too.
They make a successful franchise and they think they have to out do themselves, so they throw away what made the games popular and make a completely different style of game and call it a sequel.

Raid mode is cool, think of it as solo/co-op RE5 Mercenaries
Outbreak was ahead of its time, hard af to play solo, so you kind of needed to play with others as every character had its own abilities, like Leon knock-off had the Handgun, while the Asian girl had a backpack allowing the team to carry more stuff in total
Capcom can make great co-op RE games, but awful MP portions for the series, they keep trying and failing every time

No way capcom is this stupid, at best game gets some online multiplayer mode and thats it, if it really would become gaas i would lose faith in humanity.Resident Evil 9 began development as an open-world multiplayer game, and though the game was rebooted, the current version retains some of its original premise.

I mean we had one japanese pub go with that strategy(ff11/ff14) but now WoW is at the end of its lifecycle and almost all gaas shit games falling left and right

It's very bad for sandbox games. An Open World RE game in RE engine with a multiplayer component is a bad idea. It's why DD2 and MH Wilds have the issues they do. For a linear structure like REmakes it's decent.

Because execs always see multiplayer as long term engagement, meaning they want that sweet whale money.Why will they not just stop trying to shoehorn multiplayer into these fucking games?
No one wants it you retards

From Software found the perfect sweat spot when it comes to MP mixed with SP. So good.

But smart move to sell it as a numbered entry…
Would have for sure sold more compared to the case where they would give it a name instead of a number.
Anyway let's hope not too much of it is left and they will more focus on single player again.
Honestly what were they thinking, if Naughty Dog needed to give up, although having full Sony support, there is. I chance that they could make a successful one.

Outbreak was indeed WAY ahead of its time and I really don't get why they haven't revisited that specific MP concept, everyone has high-speed internet nowadays, everyone is online and online MP has been big for decades now.
Instead of wasting time and resources on those failed, mediocre as hell and tacked on MP modes of the latest RE games they could just have made an Outbreak title ffs.
Then again, this is Capcom we're talking about, which, being completely honest, they've gone the super-safe route of either remastering/remaking old titles or, keep pumping those sequels out, they've stopped being creative most probably due to production costs skyrocketing but then you keep thinking of who exactly from Capcom actually thought something like REverse and Resistance would be a good idea...

But some asshole still got them to burn millions on a path that basically disrespected their established fan base. That is a problem.
Its always gas shit. This is why you should not want the masses to like your hobby.

It sounds like outbreak but without the name. TBH, I don't hate outbreak, and actually I need it.

RE8 was so bad that i have no faith in RE9 unless it's in third person. And after DD2 and Wilds being extremely disappointing, i am beginning to lose hope in Capcom.

I enjoyed most of 8 but DD2 and Wilds were so disappointing. So repetitive and too freaking easy .. Japanese devs have all jumped on the bandwagon of making games easier than ever to appeal to the "modern audience". Speaking of modern audiences Capcon has also been censoring all their remasters lately ...I still consider them one of the better devs in the industry but they have taken a turn for the worse this gen there's no doubt about it.
I'm thankful they are releasing so many ports and remasters of great older games I missed out on in the past like Darkstalkers, The Punisher, MvC2, and Capcom vs SNK series tho.

Oh thank god they rejected the idea.
Im not against the idea of multiplayer: they could make some good content like coop mission like Outbreak and Mercenary. You can keep making content forever on these.
This is the way

Sounds like a cool idea but also sounds fucking boring to just walk through a big city mowing down slow ass zombies. It would've been like the "serious" version of Dead Rising.
I agree, RE8 really was poop. Some segments were promising (House Beneviento) but it just felt like it didn't know what kind of game it wanted to be. Awful plot and dialogue. The beginning of the game seemed cool and then it just fell off the quality cliff.

The beginning of the game is the reason i bought it. What a mistake.
Same, that part with the old guy in the cottage house that gets killed was such a cool cinematic moment and there was nothing else that felt anywhere near it in the rest of the game.

It's no secret capcom has wanted one successful MP entry forever now. They want that Fortnite money.
It sounds like though this new RE game likely will retain open world or be much larger in scope. RE8 shows that's where they are headed.
I think the closest we got to this idea was evil within 2, and I found that game awful compared to EW1.
I trust capcom and RE team to execute much better than tango did.
We need a trailer already showing Leon and Jill damn it!!!

It's crazy this even went past an instantly rejected pitch at some meeting. Specially after the success they've had with the remakes.
"Yeah, that's what people want for the next mainline entry. An open world multiplayer game"
RE engine is fucking awful for anything but linear games.
DD2 and specially MH Wilds look really dated and run like absolute shit. RE is probably the worst modern engine for open world stuff.

RE6 had by far the biggest budget ever for a RE game at its time and it was absolutely awful. With capcom we can never know

Rumour or not, I'm not surprised by it. Capcom are on a good run, and RE still exists/thrives because it changes, but Capcom ALWAYS get in their own way sooner or later with this MP RE nonsense. There's an audience for it, but it's not the one they want, and too often they devote resources that could be used on guaranteed wins to try and get a market they have zero chance of getting.
Others have already said Outbreak, and rightly so. There's no reason they couldn't make a modern Outbreak, but they refuse in favour of things no one asked for. So the idea of a mainline title being at bare minimum a redux of RE5's forced co-op seems perfectly in line with their MO.

Yeah that's why I brought up the budget being so high in RE9. Because it didn't help RE6.
