As far as content roadmaps for multiplayer games go, the one Capcom has just put together for Resident Evil Resistance doesn't exactly inspire much confidence. Revealed on the Resident Evil Twitter account, the free online add-on to Resident Evil 3 will receive some updates in the future, but there's not exactly much to go on.
As you can see in the image below, players will be treated to a playable Jill Valentine on the survivors' side, joining the ranks of those trying to escape the Mastermind. We already knew she would be joining the fight for survival later this month on 17th April, however. And besides that, there's not a lot to talk about. Another playable character arrives next month, which we reckon is Nikolai on the Mastermind's side, while June is said to be "under construction". More updates will arrive in July and beyond.
So, err, yeah. We didn't think very much to Resident Evil Resistance while penning the Resident Evil 3 Push Square review and we highly, highly doubt this couple of additions will have us coming back for more. Have you managed to draw your attention away from Raccoon City to check out Resident Evil Resistance? What do you make of it if so? Purchase some bullets in the comments below.

I’m loving Resistance. Been meaning to finish RE3 but Resistance has been way too addicting.
Takes a bit to get used to the gameplay but after that it’s fantastic! Obviously more fun with friends, but still, I’d recommend it.
Need some balancing still though. And hopefully they can push out new content on a more frequent basis!
Almost as good as that article you guys did about April PS store discounts!
@kyleforrester87 You'll be chuffed with us when there is a discount code though, won't you?
@LiamCroft it'll probably be a Persona 5 discount or something equally as terrible.
I was happily resistant to playing this.
I actually really enjoy Resistance, but I'm unable to get a Mastermind match. Apparently it's a network bug that needs to be worked on.
Playing Survivor is really really fun though. Definitely different than anything else I'm playing, and it's good fun with my GF. Hopefully they flesh out this roadmap and continue to work on it. I really like this game a lot.
Can't wait to play as silhouette man and his brother Inviso who wears caution tape to let others know where he is.
I actually hate Resident evil online games but this one is really fun. Especially playing as Spencer and trolling people with guns.
This mode is a waste of resource, that resource should be used to improve the main games like resident evil 2 remake. Capcom should expand the main game, not cutting the choice and the multiple ending for the game.
Resistance is surprisingly fun after a couple of games imo. At first I was frustrated that I could never win against the mastermind, but eventually got the swing of things.
@usaislie A good Spencer MM is extremely frustrating Hahahaha.
I love Asymmetrical Multiplayer games....in concept.
I don’t think Resistance is very good. It’s terribly unbalanced, and there’s just too much going on. It’s chaotic.
Plus it feels very janky, and not polished.
@Stragen8 ikr lol! Although 4 good survivors can really destroy the game especially Jan and Tyrone. Definitely interesting game never really thought i will like it.
I have zero interest in muliplayer. Useless addition to the game.
I mean... its something? Still better than a couple of skins or costumes as your DLC support, like many games have done before. Hopefully this gets fleshed out before intrest fades off
So you guys think the next character will be Nikolai? Is that just based on the silhouette? I hope it's not him...mostly because I hated him in the RE3 campaign! Also, he's not so much a mastermind as an agent.
Seems like they're testing the waters before they go ham with a battle pass or something. I ironically haven't had much free time these last several weeks, so I've been dying to spend more time with this mode.
Hoping they pile on the characters, both brand new and classic (I still really, really wanna see a current-gen take on Barry).
It's a multiplayer mode, what'd you expect. In the last decade I haven't seen a single multiplayer mode that was honestly worth it in the long run. Nearly any single player game offers far more replayability than multiplayer, and no, playing the same 8 maps several times a day isn't replayability, that's monotony. I'm aware a single player game offers repetitive gameplay, it's called a loop, and every single game ever made requires it. It's a failed argument if you use it against single player games, but a huge advantage in this case.
@GoblinKing86 In multiplayer, the loop of repetition is meant for learning maps, trying different strategies, and generally getting better at the game. The limited set of variables (maps, weapons, movement, etc) makes it more like a "game" in the traditional sense of a game of chess or a game of football. Most importantly, once you reach a certain level of understanding and competency of a given multiplayer game, it changes the whole experience into something amazing.
Play a map enough times and you'll be playing mind games with the other team, predicting where they'll go, setting ambushes, and counter-picking their loadouts. What was running in a circle getting shot in the back is now a tense game of seek and destroy. In fighting games, random button mashing turns into an elaborate dance of setups and baiting, punishes and careful management of space and pressure. It takes work to get to this level of understanding, but it's sooo rewarding.
Give multiplayer games another try! Even playing solo, find a game that looks interesting and has gameplay you like, and then stick with it. Lookup tip videos and practice offline. Focus on learning for each match instead of winning. Even if you just do this a little bit, it could really open a whole new world for you!
@kyleforrester87 agreed just don't get those games at all and fifty quid for an under five hour campaign is typical. Il wait for cyberpunk. Nioh 2 is well worth 30 pounds on ebay. But res 3 is no way buy far worth full price. Ff7 remake on other hand is worth full price but only due to its replay abilities. Persona is utter balls.
@GoblinKing86 so God of war, spiderman, control red dead list goes on with single player the order 1886 all were trully great single player. I opt to play multiplayer games like cod the devison Battlefield v. So on we have to have a diverse experience of games. But u can't say the last decade has bn bad for single player games. I personally think this last decade has brought the best games ever and I've bn a gamer for over 20 years. And despite all the games I've played I'm currently playing nioh so I can play nioh 2 finishing off the witcher 3 due to cyberpunk coming and control is addictive. I agree that people have different tastes but this decade has bn great. Don't count the negatives just the pros. And also i don't buy any micro transactions due to being able to gain them after progression.
Really enjoying it so far. Had no issues finding matches as the Mastermind in NA on PS4.
