Imagine: RE returns to "Outbreak" roots?

[ShaydeZehetbauer]

So set the scene in your mind:

Capcom announce a Resident Evil game that's exclusive for the PC and is based around Online play spanning across many scenarios, much like what Outbreak used to be.

Now, I know that this may never happen, but this is just a fun idea for a discussion to see what RE fans would truely think!

DISCUSSION:

What do you think would be positive and negative aspects?

Personally, what would you like to see implemented?

POSITIVES:

- Traditional Resi Evil style gameplay, sweetened up with you and some buddies, or complete strangers you've never met.

- Much more flexible conversation system, with the use of either Keyboard communication, or in-game voice chat.

- A refreshing breath on Resi Evil storyline, with non-canon plots that are easy to dive in and out of.

NEGATIVES:

- Original gameplay style may not appeal to those who enjoy the modernized style of play. (RE4, RE5.)

- Limited scenario choices may get boring after time.

WANTS:

- On the fly inventory management which doesn't pause the game, much like the system found in RE5.

- Special costumes and items which you can buy using money collected from previous scenario runs.

What do you guys think?

Get discussing! =D

Thoughts

I'd much prefer to see an Outbreak game get released on the 360 and PS3 than get a PC release, as then people wouldn't have to worry about controls.

I still see the PC as being a platform designed specifically for FPS, RTS and P&C, not for third person games or games like Resi.

But on to the discussion...

Positives

- A PC version could offer the option of MODs, meaning user created levels, weapons, characters or enemies.

- A PC, 360 or PS3 version would offer a much larger internet user base, giving a much bigger community.

- The rise in DLC would offer more scenarios, weapons, characters, etc.

Negatives

- DLC would probably be charged for, making the game expensive to play over time.

- Could the community last?

- Capcom never allow MODs to be made using their content, so I guess the MOD thing would dissappear quickly. On a large scale anyway. Skins would be a frequent item to be found.


Wants/Would Likes

- More differences between Characters, offering a difference playing experience with each character or character group.

- More freedom. The ability to barricade areas fully and try and protect them for a while to think about your next step, for instance.

I can't think of much at the moment to be honest...
