Day one dlc is pretty standard now . Capcom going into trendsetting mode.
I don't see why that is necessary. Here is my reason again for you:
If you don't have good people to play with, it can be a mess. And there are questionable design decisions (that I probably could overlook if I had a regular group to play with) . I can understand appreciating a game based on nostalgia but not everyone has to share it. By comparison, I loved PSO (another early generation online co-op game) but I can still recognize it's faults. I'm glad you liked it though and I have friends that played it at work everyday on lunch breaks, so I know it has a following.
I already explained why, although I kinda knew that some people would just take offense at me not liking my experience with Outbreak (thisisneogaf.jpg). These days people just look for the first reason to blindly support one thing and hate on another. I'm sorry I didn't find RE Outbreak fun. No one I played with used teamwork, communication or even just played the game properly. For me it was frustrating even though I was excited for the premise. I also wasnt a fan of breakable weapons, unlimited spawning zombies and using items...but this isnt an Outbreak Lttp.
But the opinion invalidated nonsense? I'm sure we can be more mature than that....right? We could go through games you two have played until I disagree with your opinion on something and I can invalidate your perspective too. But would that accomplish? I posted my impressions for people interesting in checking out the game despite the obvious shortcomings (and knowing that its a socom team game with an RE gimmick), take it for that or just ignore it.
I can't say the total as I only played through 3 missions last night (felt like 2-3 hours of gameplay so far) so I'm not sure it will last longer than 6 hours. There is vs and coop, plus Nemesis mode coming if you are on 360. There are also achievements for beating the campaign with S ranks each mission as well as per difficulty, if you are into that thing. I still have yet to try competitive though. Unless you are really needing a coop experience with friends right now who are going to play the game, or are into everything RE, I would wait for a price drop or rent it, especially if you aren't playing it with 4 people.
looks like fun. unfortunately that wasn't how I experienced Outbreak.

Yeah I'm pretty aware of capcom and their ways.
Have their been images of the costume packs?

aren't they just red lights in their goggles instead of blue?
Still hoping the MP and co-op are ok.

From what I've seen this game looks more like gears of war and less like RE.

Im still hoping for S.T.A.R.S. vs Nemesis DLC
that picks someone random to be Nemesis his health regenerates but only has 1 life, STARS can respawn.
Adds Chris, Barry, Rebecca, maybe Brad and STARS Jill for a 4 or 5 vs 1 match.
To a certain extent it is: cover based shooting against enemies that are ammo sponges, without the polish or graphical awe of course.
But GoW has no differences between characters (classes), or faction vs faction with zombies running around.

I am starting to feel ashamed to be buying this knowing how bad it is going to be.
I think most people will be pissed its only like 4 to 5 hours long with pretty much no reason to redo the missions.
I played Outbreak File 1 and 2 a lot and it was always with random online strangers and I had the time of my life. Some games had people that were idiots but talking out strategy in the lobby before the game started usually made everything OK. If they would make a 3rd Outbreak game with voice chat and more than a handful of scenarios I would easily pay $100 for it.
About that... remember when Capcom made RE: Survivor and thought "well, shit, people don't want a shitty done fps RE" when the games scores were really low? Yeah, they totally didn't do Survivor 2, Dino Stalker and Dead Aim after that.
Hey, Gun Survivor wasn't bad and could've been better with Gun Con support in the US like it originally had.
And Dead Aim wasn't bad, don't knock it.
Cancel your pre-order. BAIL OUT. As fast as you can.

Yeah I kinda figured this game was going to be bad...it doesn't even have splitscreen so I can only watch my friend sludge through this.
Can't wait for RE6

not the PSP ones only, also did Confrontation.
I'm hoping like some of us he went into shock therapy and *BZZZZZT* What's Confrontation? *BZZZT BZZZT BZZZT* Is it time for Biohazard 6 yet?
Also Outbreak is clunky, but it's 20x more a multiplayer Biohazard than this shit. If they refined the system it would be the best multiplayer zombie game, I feel.

I hope this game tanks hard. Anything to make Capcom less enthusiastic about making spinoff RE games and more enthusiastic about making more Revelations-type ones.
You really didn't, some things shouldn't leave 4chan.
I don't get the hate for this game, I for one look forward to it because it is set in Raccoon City and thus is more true to the classic PSX RE than the current gen ones. That alone warrants a purchase for me. Also I look forward to the coop, as did I with RE5. It was a blast playing with a friend. Sure it looks different than a traditional RE but it's a spinoff after all, nothing wrong with it in my book.

Still bitter that it didn't have online here. It could have been so good

It's true to the old games in no ways other than setting and character use. Almost everything about ORC is non-canon.
At least the newer games don't, y'know, make it the fucking objective to kill our beloved protagonists.
Cry more.

It doesn't look so bad. I'll definitely add it to my gamefly queue.
Operation Raccoon City was mostly a rush-job, and is simply a continuation of CAPCOM's inability to make a quality spin-off. The only real spin-off in the series with competent gameplay is Dead Aim, which is quite fun, but still nowhere near the quality of the main games.
What I don't get is why they can't make good spin-offs. What is holding them back? Production values? A more inexperienced team? Time?
It also doesn't help that CAPCOM's outsourcing decisions generally seem misguided and foolish. Going for small development companies with very little of a reputation seems to be a money-saving technique more than anything, or just a horrible mistake due to their "they're Western, so they're special and will automatically be great!" view.

ok some final impressions from completing the story:
-its short. With no deaths you could probably go through the game in 5 hours on normal without exploring for items and stuff.
-the graphic quality gets worse as you get in the later areas of the game, with screen tearing becoming more of an issue sometimes and overall graphic bug quirkyness increasing
-once I got used to melee and taking zombies hostage, the close range combat game became more fun. It becomes quite necessary to use melee with how ammo gets spent so quickly in this game.
-the constant babying of ammo is definitely annoying. I dont like having to depend on unlimited ammo boxes, especially when some area dont even have them and you are forced to use your pistol for long periods of time. Likewise buying a high end gun to find out it has half the ammo as a starting gun is lame.
-I did have fun sometimes playing in a group of 4 tearing up hunters and lickers. The boss fights and fights against the generic mercs are boring. In fact I only had fun fighting the creatures and at the very end of the game.

Awesome awesome game. Please port them.
Rogue Warrior was awesome in a terrible way. ORC just looks like a poorly done and generic TPS.
Although, it sounds like it's most fun online and I'd imagine if you wanted to get in on that you'd have to pick up the game close to release.
I really want to get this but I expect it to drop in price pretty fast. Looks like a fun game to play through on a lazy weekend afternoon though.

Rouge Warrior was at least "so bad it is almost good"
From what I have seen, this really is at the Damnation's level.
Odds are this will sell well out the gate, due to the RE name, but once word of mouth kicks in, sales should drop like a rock and you could at least pick it up on the cheap then - if only to satisfy morbid curiosity.

Gonna wait for a price drop. It looks fun but if it's just another "broshooter" with the RE brand on it, I'll pass. I have Revelations and REmake for my fix, anyway.
The over the shoulder cam third person is the worst. This is definitely a modified version of the engine they used for Socom. That right there should tell people to stay away. It's almost sad to read how many people are going to pick this up and the excuses they're using to justify it.
Also, from the games official site, as pointed out by Wario via Markman on Twitter:
This game will be $30 within the next six weeks.......

What am I supposed to be seeing?
EDIT: Oh they misspelled Raccoon in the website title. Why are the rest circled?

Dat Resident Evil movie aesthetic.
As someone who was 100% satisfied with Revelations 1 month ago I will try something different.
I will give it some leeway because it was designed for MP and co-op. If those end up garbage then I will get angry.

Played 4-player co-op at Wondercon. Thought it was pretty fun. Not sold on buying it though unless it has a decent campaign. Nothing wrong with the way it plays though. I think people are just being harsh on it, unless you're really sick on them constantly going back to Raccoon City. That, I can understand.

Maybe it's different playing it yourself, but it doesn't look like a 3/10 to me. A 3 means nearly irredeemable, and not really fun. This looks like neither of those.
