As we determined in the hands-on preview, the bloody effect of Resident Evil 3 Remake is very good. However, not only will the game be fully profitable, it will also include new multiplayer adventure games Resident Evil: Resistance. We also played.
Resistance is a weird place, apparently in a sense to appease those who might miss including the "mercurial" style mode in RE3, which debuted in the original PS1 version. At the same time, this is completely new and original-a 4 to 1 championship title, compared by a group of players playing with ordinary people and survivors to a fifth player "Foresight" (Part 5).
In fact, this is a very dungeon and Xiaolong setup, and although the end result is unfortunate, I have seen it twice. In 2014, BioWare announced and immediately cancelled Shadow Realms, a four-to-one action RPG that brought the basic settings of "Dungeon and Dragon" to the channel, where the supervising dungeons master mocked and shepherded four players. Later, Microsoft Studios had a strong response to Fable Legends, and its concepts were almost the same. The game was also cancelled in 2016.
So for other similar games, this is not very popular, but this is not to say that the core of resistance is not a good idea. It is a good concept for four people to cooperate to achieve the goal and survive the undead raid, and the game as a planner who tries to slow down and kill players is also satisfactory. For Capcom, this is an idea worth exploring, especially as a replacement for RE3 Remake (including the "merchant" mode).
"We want to challenge ourselves to create a survival horror experience, but online multiplayer games," said Resident Evil 3 and resistance maker Peter Fabiano, speaking of the birth of the resistance project .
"How do you enjoy this with your friends? What does it mean? We want to make a new attempt at this, and I think we have succeeded. You know, we had a fun and interesting experience. You can play a real A planner who gives you a completely different perspective-you play the role almost as if you were one of the developers, falling into certain enemies at some point, playing in the environment, manipulating things … but you can also play as a survivor Role, you must really get through the storm with others. "
Despite the engine and technology sharing, Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes are unique. Thanks to being online, people have a clumsy feeling about character movements and enemies' reactions to blows, sometimes even arcade games. When the timer ticks on the map, spiky bats are waving at zombies in a casino environment, as in Resident Evil, evoking the "rise of death", especially when you are not only dealing with undead, but You need to plan the "supply zombies" to place and drop the main turret to help you escape. All of them have been carefully created to fit the legend of "Resident Evil".
Fabiano said, "Theoretically it fits." "Both titles-Resident Evil 3 and Resistance-are held in Raccoon City. Both have characters trying to escape something or somewhere. Again, this Ordinary people's perspectives are also adopted, right? You are not a trained officer. "
The members of the Resistance Army are indeed ordinary people, although everyone has their own skills. There are six different survivors that fit a variety of prototype video game capability sets-hackers that can remove technical obstacles such as the above turrets, tanks that can absorb damage, damage dealers beaten by enemies, and of course both This supports active and passive gain. The more roles each role plays, the more skills they can play and try to create a game style. In addition to this, team composition needs to be considered-any given group of four will have natural strengths and weaknesses due to gaps in capabilities.
In terms of planners, there are a few roles, each of which is a classic biochemical crisis role, and each role has its own unique ability and style of control experiments. By the way, that's what these missions are all about-Umbrellas have kidnapped ordinary people and forced them to conduct closed experiments in some hidden labs under Raccoon City to test their zombies and viruses. track. It's an umbrella.
In any case, the end result here is almost the same as the other unlucky four-to-one games I mentioned, except that this game is about to be released: the show's star is playing a curator. In this role, you will joke with other players, ruin their day, see things as gods, and spend resources to stop players from flinching. Everything is timed, so their real enemy is the clock-all you have to do is delay them to force them to fail. You don't have to kill them-although this is certainly a delightful reward. As a planner, I am most happy to be a little dick happy, waiting to produce the ultimate super weapon until the team is dangerously close to completing a set of goals.
In terms of survivors, this seems to be a game, based on my own hands, that may die depending on who plays with you. It may seem frustrating and confusing if you form a quiet group with a casual group of people, but if you play the game with a talkative or more familiar person, it will quickly trigger riot. Communication and cohesion are important because a good planner will be able to easily overwhelm someone. The tension is also deepening: each phase consists of four parts, but reaching the third phase is a challenge unless you pay attention to your work.
Resistance is unlikely to be a reason for anyone to buy RE3 Remake, but this is an interesting avenue for the Resident Evil series to try, and may eventually be rewarded with full value-although in all online games, you must keep sufficient Judgment. emission. As for the Resistance completely replacing mercenaries? The producer of the game didn't go that far.
Fabiano said, "I see it as my own game, and I hope people will have fun with it." "It is unique in its own way, it happens in Raccoon City and is fully in line with Resident Evil 3. I want people to play and enjoy online experience."
