With Resident Evil Project Resistance Set to Release on Friday..

I didn't like Project Resistance. It had a few things I liked, but not enough to play more than a few rounds. I also don't have too much faith in regular updates. But if they fine tune it and keep pushing updates, it could just have some lasting power.

Resistance is fun but it's a $60 entry price and is also tacked onto the main entry reason people will be spending that 60 dollars. I'd be surprised it gets an established playerbase after launch unless Capcom supports the game.

The being said I love the game and admittedly am enjoying it a bit more than DBD. I feel like there's a bit of depth and strategy to the game and has a lot of potential. With 6 survivors, 4 masterminds and a few more maps planned for launch I can see it being a fine alternative to the asymmetrical genre. Not sure it will compete with Dead by Daylight it's more doing its own thing right now.

That being said survivors could use a handful of nerfs and mastermind Danial could use a few quality of life changes specifically for Mr. X to avoid getting cheesed by survivors.

Two immediate issues I believe are noted is it's peer2peer iirc and matchmaking uses the steam matchmaking (What ever it's called) so games are searched and chosen based on your download region in your steam settings which can mean you could be like a state away and never find someones game in US.

I played the beta and it did nothing to cause me to desire buying the game.

Being the Mastermind was painfully boring and being the survivors was...well...also really boring :D

Maybe if I gave it more of a chance I'd like it but I'm not going to pay $60 for that chance.

both games are very different to each other, i doubt it'll have much of an effect on DbD.

I’ve been keen to try it since it was revealed before even RE3 was announced.

Mastermind is great fun and reminds me of being the dungeon master in a tabletop board game or D&D, difficult to get your head round but a lot of depth to it.

Survivor is where I think the game might suffer as it is heavily reliant on team work, even more so than similar games.

One of the comments above is about how tanky the zombies feel and it’s ‘unfair’, when if all 4 people are working together and shooting the same thing then zombies just get deleted in a second, especially when the person playing the character with the Kick knockdown ability is using it effectively.

I think a lot of people will try it and feel it’s too hard or the Mastermind is too strong because they have one guy running in alone, one guy still at the shop and the other 2 locked in a room with the crappy starter pistols; and get mown down without feeling like they had much chance.

Western games tend to be team based but everyone is off doing their own thing with little thought for the teammates.

Japanese titles tend to heavily require teamwork and cooperation more than most.

I think the game could do well, especially if they release it separately for a reduced price if it sees some success after the RE3 launch, but I don’t think it will ever be able to attract the amount or variety of players that DbD has... but that may be a good thing in the long run for those who do play it.

Played the demo... didn't care for it. Won't be buying it.

It was just boring.

It also doesn't help that we are not playing with anycharacters from the games, like... would it really be hard to play with jill or claire? They even have models already... and if the excuse is "the game is canon so they can't be there" well... that's dumb.

The predator game on the other hand... was actually fun and I might get it.

Personally, I don't have any high hopes for it. I still remember how much of a bullet sponge people were in Operation Raccoon City, and how it felt like the go to strategy was super soldier to street sweeper stun-lock-to-death only .

If only they remade RE: Outbreak... I can still dream... Though with all these remakes they keep pulling out, it might just happen.

but thats just like.. my opinion.

I miss the Assassin's Creed MP so much. Every time they made an announcement about a new installation of the series, I was always hoping they'd say it's coming back.

But god, Dead Space 2's MP had questionable choices. Straight up grades when you rank up your level (more damage, more healing gels to group heal everyone back to full). There wasn't a team scrambler. The moment you saw multiple Marker symbols ( a sign of max rank) next a stack of names on the same team, the other side insta-quit. It was fun for the first few weeks when there were people playing, but as it emptied out... it kind of felt like a what you wrote, just tacked on because they had to.

It wont affect anything, in that game you just plant zombies, you're a puzzle master soo dumb.

Our only hope is for identity v to come out for pc... but ain't happening ...

It's way more balanced, that's for sure, it just feels empty. DBD has life to it, it has comical and relatable characters, where as REsistance has cliche survivors and a cliche enemy. To be honest, it's not even going to surpass F13 (even in its current state, much less during its peak), let alone be on the same level as DBD. It's fun gameplay wise, yet lacking in things that give the game life. It's pretty much another GOW Judgement.
