    A nice plus to it is that it's also multiplay.

    outbreak's finally out huh? been waiting long enough =P

    this particular RE/biohazard focusses on multiplay more than anything else... I'm sure playing single player is fun and all but that's not what it's made for.
    There's been rumours flying that the UK version might not even get online play, which kinda removes the point of buying the silly game in the first place XD

    oh and the person who created resident evil refused to have anything to do with outbreak, something to do with his intense dislike for developing on the PS2 or something; hence the RE series remake and onwards exclusive deal for the gamecube =o

    I would really like to play online with you guys, but unfortunately the PAL version of Outbreak doesn’t have online mode... ARGH!

    Multiplay? Like on one console? And is it Deathmatch, or Co-op?
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    lol, coop... hope you're not 100% on the PAL version having no online mode because otherwise the stupidity concerning online games and the UK have utterly destroyed yet another title I might have bought =/

    don't know who the idiots are that decide FOR US that the uk players won't want online versions of games THAT ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED ONLINE, but I seriously want them erradicated from the gene pool in the most painful and slow way possible ><

    The multiplayer on Outbreak is simply a couple people connecting via PS2 modem and playing the game together using diff.characters w/ diff. attributes.

    No, sorry. The PAL version doesn’t have any online mode, but you can play with 3 other AI controlled mates.

    Plenty of people own a Gamecube, and if you watch the latest RE4 trailer you'll see what all the fuss is about.

    I'm still getting Outbreak even though it has no online mode here in the UK, cause it still looks to be a brilliant single-player game, rivalling the length of Code Veronica. If you're a fan of the series, or even the Survival Horror genre, you'd be a fool to miss out.

    supposedly the easiest to make for is either the gamecube or xbox, but either way plenty people own the three super consoles v-man so don't be so silly <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh, believe me I really wanted it too, but I am willing to live and let die. Magazines are giving it 85% for the single-player alone, but I'm going to have to see if it's worth it.

    I ment it was a stupid idea from a marketing point of view, attaching a game series to the least popular of the 3 super consoles means your gonna make less money when the people that own the cube go out to buy your game. As opposed to say the larger customer pools attached to the X-BOX and PS2

    Don't you think it's a good strategy since eventually fans will buy a console because it's exclusive to it?

    I belive he went exclusive with GC because he didn't like Sony, nothing really market related.

    at the time the decision was made the xbox was dying a most horrible, squealing death in japan and many people predicted it would fall off the face of the earth, so the ninty contract makes sense considering how unpopular the xbox was at the time ^^

    ~sigh~ I'd try it teq but i wanted it for some coop action and despite usually being good, capcom have failed us... I don't see why either! It's not like the UK needs translations like the rest of europe ><

    I'd play, if it were for GameCube.

    But for those anticipating RE4, it's been ruined. There's an article in it in the new Nintendo Power. Zombies are now "smart." They use weapons, like Chainsaws. The game's all Menu based. It's not going to revolve around puzzle anymore either, the camera's always behind you.
  • UltimaGeckoUltimaGecko hates endnotes Join Date: 2003-05-14 Member: 16320Members
    After I saw the first screens for RE4 I thought: "That looks really...dumb." It was too open and drops the entire premise that made the original games cool and freaky and fun (despite the minor lack of replay value - just make some random buildings <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).

    Then again, I need to get a gamecube for Eternal Darkness, RE1 and maybe that one game with the fluffy creatures you play with your friends only it's single player. Animal Kingdom? Animal Funhouse? I just can't think of the name right now.

    (I just want a house or something, I dunno, it sounds mildy interesting and innovative)


    ...but yea, that's completely off topic. I sold my PS2 a long time ago because nothing good sice FFX has come out (which I didn't actually play much anyway).

  • TequilaTequila Join Date: 2003-08-13 Member: 19660Members
    Resident Evil 4 is a step in the right direction in terms of innovation and immersion I believe. The (potential, we can't be sure) loss of typical Romero-esque zombies does pain me, I loved the little guys after all, but we really can't say anything until we know what cards Capcom has up their sleeve.

    With Shinji Mikami finally getting back into the directorial position over RE, where he belongs, I can't see how this can be anything short of fantastical, especially after viewing the trailer.

    Be patient.

    Don't trust old men on Friday nights?

    In all seriousness, that was a passing comment. I don't take what the mags say to be the gospel truth. End of the day, I play the game and if it's sub-standard then it goes straight to gaming limbo. Also known as Game.
