‘Resident Evil’ has had a relationship with Multiplayer

Resident Evil games are perfect when you keep yourself isolated in a single environment, cut off from the outside world, trying to stay alive against hordes of dead hordes. Such horrific elements have become the basis of the genre known as survival horror, which solidly strengthened Capcom’s branding when it debuted on the original PlayStation in 1996. However, forward 25 years, and Resident Evil now he can say different things to different people. It could be a zombie restaurant in the heart of Tokyo, a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie franchise, or a multi-player experience that is afraid to fight with friends.

Of all these side projects, Capcom seems to be the most obsessed. Oddly enough, Japanese publishers should know that scary games are more effective, for the most part, when played alone. And yet Resident Evil it continues to take on various co-operatives and parts of the competition that push it against the traditional survival horror issue. RE: Verse is the most recent crawl Resident Evil: Village as an autonomous deathmatch-style game for buyers, where players fight as iconic characters in the series. Repeatedly using Chris Redfield Tyrant’s muted arm over and over again is a nice way to celebrate the franchise’s 25th birthday in theory, I’ll admit, but last month’s beta did little to convince me that the game will be a worthwhile investment for rough PVP to convince.

So why not Resident Evil Is it just a matter of holding on to horror single-player stories? Perhaps some of the games aimed at many of the brand’s players have shown bright mandates but flaws.

Resident Evil Outbreak, 2003 (PS2)

Resident EvilThe first flutter of multiplayer is also clean, arguably. One of the few games to take advantage of the first capabilities of the PS2 network, Appearances throw yourself and the other three friends as a multiple group trying to escape the streets of Raccoon City. Doing it like a police officer, waiter, or reporter was tense, especially with classic fixed angle cameras, tank controls, and inventory management. Having the eight characters have their own skills was perfect for playing. Everyone was useful depending on the specific scenario.

Resident Evil OutbreakThe initial attempt to reconcile it with the initial mechanics of the online co-op series unfortunately had a rough online infrastructure. Also, without headphone support, it would always be inconvenient to communicate with people using 10 pre-set commands. Look beyond that AppearancesConnectivity issues, though, and you Resident Evil multiplayer games ahead of its time.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, 2007 /Darkside chronicles, 2009 (Nintendo Wii)

It is unthinkable that Capcom looked at what Sega was doing House of the Dead In the arcade scene and I thought, “Hey, why don’t we make a light gun shooter with zombies too?” This was the basic notion of the two Resident Evil tickets exclusive to the 2007 Wii Chronicles of the umbrella and 2009 Darkside Chronicles. Both games took the favorite moments of fans from previous games and adapted them to a first-person format, exploding the dead at the time to score points for you and a friend.

I’ve been driving through mythical locations like the RPD headquarters before Resident Evil: Zero it was more cinematic than before, and the merit of the games was that using Wiimote felt incredibly natural in getting the zombie heads out. Although as useful as them, neither one nor the other Chronicles the game would have a tremendous impact on the efforts of many in the future. The honor fell on him instead Resident Evil 5 (Released earlier in 2009) to build a cooperative to turn Capcom’s character upside down Resident Evilmain campaign.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, 2011 (Nintendo 3DS)

After a firm jump from the fixed angles of the camera to the new view over the shoulder Resident Evil 4, Capcom finally saw fit to provide the duration of the franchise Mercenaries mini-game standalone spinoff treatment. Adapted title The Mercenaries 3D It was certainly an impressive showcase of the graphics capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS, but it didn’t do much to change the idea of ​​covering as many zombies as possible in a given period of time.
