Capcom, you want GaaS RE game?


OUTBREAK.

 

[onQ123]

Capcom want all the money lol they everywhere right now

 

[nial]

Published by Aniplex? Wow.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Capcom, you want GaaS RE game?


OUTBREAK.

Yeah it's kinda nuts that they haven't brought back Resident Evil Outbreak or made a Day Z style of game set in Racoon City or something like that.

"reimagining the survival horror universe as a real-time strategy experience"

How much do you want to bet Leon will be a paid unit? Fuuuuck off

Resident Evil: Pay to Survive Unit

 

[Branded]

"Fetch" in this case is Capcom's incessant need to turn RE into anything other than RE. They never learn lol. Unreal.

 

[L*][*N*K]

yeah I want that, honestly if it is not a broken game then bring it

 

[DragonNCM]

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

EOS in 9 months.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Lost me at mobile, but it made me think that I'd definitely play a Resident Evil XCOM (or rather STARS).

 

[MiguelItUp]

Already sounds questionable and we haven't even seen it yet lmao

XCOM??

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden????

Eewwww

 

[Hashassin]

Oh lord. Got a flashback of that terrible side game that launched with RE3 remake, which is also terrible. Can't even remember the name. This phone game is also terrible. It's all terrible!

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I wish they'll do a Resistance 2 cause that one was actually super fun and spend thousands of hours on it unlike Reverse. Or do a Outbreak game since that actually fits Resident Evil, just unfortunately done way ahead of it's time back then.

 

[xrnzaaas]

XCOM??

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden????

Eewwww

Why not? We already had a case of an action series featuring a turn-based tactical game - Gears Tactics. And despite its flaws (like limited amount of unique content) it worked and played great.

 

[Hookshot]

Resident Evil RTS? On PC it would have been odd but it could work with hero STARS units and managing the police departments and or Umbrella, to keep areas outbreak free as you rebuild but instead it will be just another shitty mobile game of cooldowns that you can pay to speed up.

Notes from above video:

• Late 2025 Release date
• Parallel Timeline

• Setting: Abandoned Hospital
• Returning characters (so far): Claire, Leon, Jill, Carlos, Kendo, Marvin, Barry, Becca(RE: Resistance), Alyssa Ashcroft (RE: Outbreak),
• Puzzles confirmed
• 3/4 Perspective
• Looks to be Turn based ATB
• Teams of 3 characters
• Merchant with items and MTX items
• Legendary artist, Yoshitaka Amano, helping with creature designs.

More details to come in the future.

 

[drotahorror]

Not a turn based fan, but done right it can be entertaining.

I had something completely else in my mind when I was envisioning this. Looks really bad imo.

 

[Roni]

This and RE9 were barely shown for titles so close to release.

 

[Northeastmonk]

This is a lot better than that FFXV mobile game that was basically a city builder. It could be better. Mobile gaming makes me laugh.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ami right?

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Funny, I feel from these far out designs and snippets, this team would be better off making Parasite Eve.

I ain't touching this nonsense.

 

[DavidGzz]

Will try Steam version down the road.

not so bad, might be cool if we can get co op though

 

[March Climber]

When I saw the 3/4 perspective and the general mood of the game I sat up in my chair, I thought to myself 'Capcom could do the funniest thing right now', but then the combat began and I said 'oh, it's just ATB with lanes'.

They were so close.

 

[kiphalfton]

Such a weird series; there's more bad games than good games.

[MagiusNecros]

So it's a Gacha game similar to Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes.

Don't miss the Cinematic Trailer for Resident Evil Survival Unit, an upcoming mobile strategy game developed by Aniplex, JoyCity, and Capcom. Players will engage with tactical decisions to survive a city overthrown by an infection, leaving devastation in its wake. Embody iconic characters from the Resident Evil franchise, such as Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and more, to build bases, secure resources, and survive. Check out the new Cinematic Trailer for Resident Evil Survival Unit, coming soon to iOS and Android.

 

[Rambone]

I might play it if I can put Chris Redfield in a bikini and they make Jill as manly as possible, huge muscles and has a attitude problem.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I cannot possibly give a fuck less about a video game.

-100/10

Not interested in anything other than hentai from Aniplex
