How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?


It doesn't seem like the highest budget thing in the world, re-uses a lot of assets, and appears like they're not aiming for it to be a full price title. I wouldn't be surprised if this is some B-team's project while also testing the waters with the netcode of the engine for something more ambitious.

All while offering a neat looking gameplay experience, which we've barely seen in the commercial space outside of the (cancelled? shut down?) multiplayer Fable game, Dungeonland and the previously mentioned HL2 mod Zombie Master.

Definitely not worthy of so much scorn from folks in general, though I'm no fan of the damage numbers. Then again, I had mild hopes for Umbrella Corps and its mix of PvE and PvP, but we all know how that one turned out.

"..The high ground"
I don't think just redoing outbreak type scenarios and pushing that game out would work today- the outbreak scenarios are pretty threadbare, mostly, so something to give that type of scenario some replayability would go a long way.

I'm interested in seeing how it works.

As long as Capcom keep putting out titles like RE7, RE2R and Megaman 11 they can pull out as much spin-off garbage as they like.

It's always basically been magic. Even back in the day, up to CV, how it spread, what it did, how long it took, and how it worked were all basically done on a case-by-case basis without any attempts at handwaving like "different strains" or "mutated versions."

I often like to think of the alternate universe where somebody like Bioware or Obsidian had ever made an RE game. There would be a 30-page graduate thesis in the game, available from your inventory screen, that went into explicit, loving detail about the T-Virus, and everything it did in that game would either be within those boundaries, or its violation thereof would be the primary focus of the game's plot. ("It's not supposed to be able to do that!")
An influenza infection can vary from basically just being tired with a sore throat, to dying while violently gushing out of both ends - I don't think we need an explanation for why a zombie virus doesn't present entirely uniform outcomes in all infected. It certainly doesn't make it magic just because the writers make it do poo poo on a case-by-case basis. (The actual magic part is the apparent ability to resurrect corpses, as seen in RE3 and CV, as well as the the portals it creates to the mass dimension.)

egg on my dumb face

I genuinely and instantly assumed it was Capcom doing it because up to this point because off the top of my head no other game in the franchise has ever had the graphical fidelity of a main entry, least of all the one that made RE2Make what it is (and we've already mentioned how it's all 100% RE2make assets and graphics etc).

Yeah it's weird how the Capcom fighting game division seems to have shat the bed whereas everything else bar Dead Rising has gone back to basics and been amazing. I guess interest in fighting games has been pretty niche for a long time though, so there's not really a market for basic fighting games without loads of extra dumb costumes and stuff.

Mortal Kombat 11 sold like 10 million copies and was the first M rated game to top Nintendo hardware in like 10 years. Capcom just makes bad fighting games.

It's bizarre. The total lack of music combined with the Mastermind constantly talking (plus his outrageous accent) makes for a really strange vibe.

I'm actually really into that now...I assume like most games there will be UI options, so if you just turned off the garish numbers it really does look like 5 minute bursts of Outbreak levels. It just depends on how fun the maps are to actually play.

Same, take away the numbers, some good maps, and no awful progression system. The last point is what I'm most worried about.

the RE1/0 ports apparently have insanely bad loading times, which seems like it shouldn't be possible so in some ways they have displayed an impressive technical expertise.

I played through 1 on Switch recently and it wasn't insanely bad. It could be better but it loads when the transition animations finish. I believe it's just 0 that has the problems.

Why not just re-release Outbreak 1&2? Not a full remake, just the original games with the textures upscaled a bit, a voice chat option. Slap that on Steam that's easy money, it would sell like hot cakes for not masses of effort.

Plus it would preserve Outbreak.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are behind-the-scenes technical issues on the Outbreak games that keep them from being ported. They were PS2 exclusives before there was a PlayStation Network, and even for the time of their release, their matchmaking and lobby software was bizarre.

This is, after all, Capcom, and at least the first Outbreak was a genuine hit at the time. The only reason they wouldn't have ported them by now is if they can't.

I don't know, CVX never got ported to PC and they already did all the legwork to get it running on MT Framework for the last-gen HD versions. Also they never rereleased RE1-3 or Dino Crisis 1-2 on Steam despite there already being PC versions that work fine with a bit of tweaking. Capcom's just a weird company.
