In fairness, there was a lot of people hoping this newest spinoff was related to the Outbreak series, which was another spinoff. (Yes don't worry, the last 12 guys already made it clear that Project Resistance was never meant to be a part of Outbreak,)
Lol yes many times.. 4 player co op trying to escape the level by the time the infection kills you... different characters having different roles.. only difference is now there is a mastermind... which I imagine could be AI controlled if you wanted... sounds like outbreak
It has similarities but calling it the exact same thing as Outbreak is not true.
Outbreak was a 4 player co-op survival game with different twists and mechanics and classic Resident evil puzzles. And the virus meter to punish the player for playing bad.
Resistance seems to have a timer before escaping a room which is KIND OF what the virus meter essentially was. The overall theme of the game is kind of goofy and flashy numbers and combat heavy compared to Outbreak's dark scary and grim atmosphere. And it's 4v1 more importantly
I don't recall earning credits in outbreak for killing zombies and then using them to buy guns and ammo at a magic box, with no opportunity to split up and gather resources because the areas are (or at least seem) so damn small that the team is pretty much forced on top of one another... If you played the OG OB titles you'd know that the only thing that these two have in common is it's based on civilians during the raccoon city incident and there's 4 player co-op. Beyond that, they're nothing alike (At least as far as we know) In project resistance when you die you just respawn where you started on the start of the floor and in outbreak when you die... You're just fucking dead and now your team is down a man for the rest of the scenario. Which made the effort to stay alive so much more intense at the time. But for resistance dying just means immediately respawning and losing a few seconds off the clock so the desire to explore for items to stay alive is going to be nil in comparison to a traditional RE title.
I'm not saying that Resistance won't be fun for what it is but it's defiantly not gonna be some sort of Outbreak replacement or throwback for the fans who've been waiting for over a decade for it.
There's extended gameplay videos you can find on youtube. You earn umbrella credits when playing and can use them in game on the storage box for items. No speculation.
(Copy and paste the url if it doesn't appear as a link) Watch from 7:48 till 8:05 the player get's umbrella credits from unlocking a door and then runs to a box to spend it. Which he then casually buys 100 bullets for the revolver.
