Capcom recruiting US & JPN Resident Evil Ambassadors to test A game currently in development [Update: Check Emails - Surveys being sent out]
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
Capcom not doing a mercenaries games with RE Engine is a baffling decision.
They have plenty of characters
They have plenty of characters
Honeslty, considering not a lot of people played the original Outbreak games because they were online PS2 games, Capcom should remake those. They are prime candidates for a RE2-style remake.
I'd be up for this just to see all the people they'd scan for these legacy characters that weren't in RE2... and Chris Redfield 😕
My main fear about R3make is actually that right there. That r3make is not really r3make, but a totally different game that sort of have RE3's styoryline as a part of it. And an Outbreak online component demands much more than being a simple extra mode.
I totally expect that to happen. You'll have the main campaign of RE3 to be remade like RE2 was, but since it was a shorter game you'll have the Outbreak online mode to fill the content in order to justify the pricetag. That and GaaS.
I hate that I believe you might be correct, or better, that I believe Capcom might think you are correct. I must add that RE3 being a shorter game compared to RE2 is not that true. One campaign for one campaign RE3 is actually longer, and you also have enough replayability to make another playthrough very fresh. And if we look at REmake 2, the fact that the campaigns are much more similar to each other than in the original RE2, you can have a R3make with more content without needing an online component.
The only online component I can see RE3 having and staying true to the original is The Mercenaries.
If Capcom wants to make an MMO-ish GaaS title in Raccoon City, go for it. But R3make is not the place for it.
Something someting all new upcoming edition of Resident Evil 3.
Yep, if they're play testing it's probably far in development too..
Though this is the first time I've read about Capcom doing it, unless they have done it less publicly before.
You said "I can't wait". I'm saying I can't either. :P It has flaws, but I do enjoy it, especially in multiplayer.
If the leaks are correct RE3 has been in development for a while and is closer to release than it might be expected. Indeed, Dusk Golem said its announcement was very close, but that was several months ago. With that in mind, it makes more sense for a RE3 test than RE8 (which is probably a next gen title).
But as the op mention, it makes more sense for it to be a multiplayer game. So my bet is either an online component for RE3 (which hopefully is a Merc mode or some analogue) or an new RE game like an Outbreak revival.
It's still weird to me that R3make is coming before RE8. I thought Capcom would alternate between a remake and a new mainline title.
It's neither RE3 or RE8 (the later is still years away). My money is either on full on MP game or Revelations 3.
As some have pointed out, it could be a MP game. If that really ends being the case I would like a standalone Mercenaries game, I'd play hundreds of hours lol
My fuckin' dude. 3rd person action spin-off would also be acceptable. I hope they take a break before we get REmake 3 though, REmake 2 is still fresh.
DID. THEY. STUTTER?

Oh I wasn't expecting this. I wonder if they'll bring it to EU now or keep it to NA and JP.
It would be a dream to see it anywhere besides the US and JP, tho i really think it's likely that they'll do something in their London headquarters.
Wouldn't hold my breath for anything else.
Man, I hope I get picked! New York is a reasonable distance from me and my brother lives in LA so that's an easy to justify flight for me (and for some reason I decided to mention this in my tester application form...I guess out of excitement?) so it would be amazing to win the chance to play whatever this is.
It seems too early for R3make, right? I guess there is a lot of overlap between RE2 & RE3 that it probably wouldn't take them a ton of time to get something up and running but it still just seems so early for R3make.
I really feel like it's RE8 they're testing because timeline wise it makes sense and that's probably the game they're more unsure about as well. RE7 was generally well received and for awhile I believe it was Capcom's best selling game released this gen (obviously MHW has since blown past it) but it was still a fairly divisive game among the fanbase. I feel like even most people who liked RE7 considered it a bit of an uneven game. I loved it but there's definitely a not insignificant number of people who didn't like RE7.
The only thing surprising about if this is RE8 is that at this point you would almost think they would want to hold back RE8 for next gen and maybe try to quickly get out R3make (possibly as a crossgen title)? You know, so they can have the totally new entry be Capcom's way of planting its flag into the next gen (though maybe that doesn't make much sense from a business perspective). Which I guess would still be a possibility as these demos could just be running on next gen spec PCs with an Xbox One controller plugged into them. Either way I so fucking hope I get picked!
Huh that definitely seems more than plausible. I initially thought it might be multiplayer dlc for RE2 but the email does specify that you'll be playing a new game. What could it be? Obviously the mediocre ORC and abysmal Umbrella Corps come to mind when I think of multiplayer focused RE games so hopefully whatever it is isn't like those games. I would love an Outbreak 3 or a remaster of the original Outbreaks but those will only ever exist in my dreams.
I still feel like it has to be at least a semi-big release if they're going through the trouble of all the secrecy and hyping people up with this. I don't see them doing this for an Umbrella Corps 2 or some equivalent. I almost wonder if it could be the console equivalent to something like The Mercenaries 3D? A game that's focused on Mercs or Raid mode (or both) would be pretty rad and something fans have wanted for years (particularly on a platform other than 3DS). It would also be a great way for them to serve the currently under served action loving segment of the RE fanbase. Also in the time of GAAS Capcom may be wanting to get in on the action with RE. Okay, hear me out, 100 pods each containing a Mr. X are shot into Raccoon City...
I will say that if its the multiplayer MODE for an upcoming major RE game it will be for R3make. R3make seems like a good test bed for something like that. Maybe they'll bring back that BOWs vs Agent mode from RE6?

Yeah their London office is probably the most likely Europe candidate actually. I'd probably try go if that were the case lol.

I'm so so excited for a Outbreak-like game in a post-PS2 online gaming world. I would pay PS+ worth a year for that.

I'm assuming whatever this is, is something that didn't really leak thus far. Now it's just a matter of, do we see if at Gamescom or TGS?
As long as it's something worth seeing I'm ok-ish. There are very scary possibilities out there for a RE game, especially a multiplayer focused one.
