New Resident Evil Game Looks Like a Co-Op Spin-Off

Nothing wrong with a co op spin off. Hopefully its fun.

Maybe a Left4Dead kind of game... Would be cool.

Me:
'A new Resident Evil game': 🤯😃
'It's co-op...': 🙁😑

Hopefully they're at least honest about it and include a warning that says "try the forced single player mode and suffer". Seriously, RE5 was one disappointing experience. Can't even remember if I finished it. Capcom has some kind of co-op obsession with RE and it makes me sick.

I’m gonna hope it’s a successor to the brilliant Operation Raccoon City

Who knows, it might be decent.

Let's just be glad it's not in the same vein as Umbrella Corps.

@ToniK I’d agree with you on RE6, but I really loved 5.
I really liked the coop aspects of Revelations 2 as well. But it def cuts down on the ‘horror’ aspects.

No more Umbrella Corps please.

Judging from the screenshots, it feels like a successor to the Outbreak games.

So first Yakuza 7 goes turn based combat, next Resident Evil is a co-op spin-off, Whats next God Of War goes multiplayer only with Microtransactions....

Revelations 3? The characters pictured looks a bit like the side characters from Revelations 2.

Coop RE are my favorite RE

RE co -op as main game.

Yes Please.

@Sevenifity

God.

No.

Rather would have Remake 3 or RE 8, but this one might be a lot of fun too.

Co-op spin off? I've spun off it already.

If it's similar to Outbreak I am in. But I also would rather just have RE 3 remake or RE8!

So in the other article on this I was being facetious...

PLEASE NO!! Resi Evil and Co-Op spin off .... have we not witnessed this sacrilege before? YEUGH!!

Yeah those images don’t inspire me at all. Not much to go on I know but it doesn’t pull me in at first glance like the Re2 first shots did

@Turismo4GT yeah i don't like play online co-op with strangers i don't know unless i has friends to play with or they don't like resident evil games

I hope they have at least one of the older characters in the game. I’m reeeeally anxious to see what a realistic Jill Valentine looks like <3

Resident evil is my favourite franchise aside from dark souls, but forced co-op always dials down the horror elements which kinda defeats the purpose. Revelations 2 suffered from this. Being a huge fan I’ll buy it, but I’m a combination of excited and suspicious.

@Turismo4GT yeah exactly. Remember revelations 2 where we all had to listen to a teenager prattle on for hours? Or having to control two characters like Re:Zero....
not a fan. I want horror

@Sevenifity forced co-op ruins the tension

@KnightWolf a little hyperbolic but I chuckled

@ToniK yeah it’s weird move seemingly designed to pander to those who rabidly demand multiplayer in games that don’t suit it or have by decent context for including..
I loved RE5 but I only played it in single player. RE6 remains my least favourite.
I thought capcom were on the right track with RE7 and 2 remake. I think they are trying to spread themselves too thin just to get a few sales from people who only care about multiplayer

@Deadlyblack Finally someone calls it lets hope it has a story and optional online coöp. 😁

But i rather have the RE3 remake. 😉

Sounds cool if you're into that kinda thing, but personally I'm all about singleplayer when it comes to RE so I'll probably pass.

Mmm, those characters look cheesy af.

@Arnna I recall re5 utilising some good points in coop, where the team are split, and both players are dependant on securring their own, or potentially their partners, safety. The part with the kickers springs to mind, and playing these with a friend provided for some particularly tense moments! Mercenaries mode was also a lot of fun, though I admit, it does dial down the overall sense of horror.
That being said, if they made it so that it wasn't just a generic 3rd person shooter with zombies, but actually with well thought out level design that uses puzzles and whatever else to force people apart at times, it could be pretty good!
