«Resident Evil: Resistance» is an asymmetrical-multiplayer set in the world of Resident Evil. It has developed by «Capcom» in association with «NeoBards Entertainment».
The game has been announcement on «Tokyo Game Show» 2019 and meet negative feedback. As expected, some people was dissatisfied the fact that «Capcom» create project like this instead of «Resident Evil: Outbreak: File 3» or just remake of «Resident Evil: Outbreak». As answer on this situation «Capcom» with announce of «Resident Evil 3» declared that «Resident Evil: Resistance» will be a part of the game.
Also, «Resident Evil: Resistance» has an open-beta in a period from 23rd of March until 3rd of April.
As dictated by this genre, concept of this game is a resistance of one person with survivors (1 vs. 4). This game divided on two different modes: survivor and mastermind, which one is differ each other a lot.
There are two different objectives of these modes. The survivors have to escape before time runs out, while mastermind ought to prevent them from escaping.
There are six different survivors which have unique skills that they have to use to cover each other and defeat creatures together.
Also, there are four different masterminds, which one of them have unique creatures and special weapon helps them to prevent survivors escape.
This game uses «RE Engine». Regardless of low system requirements, graphics looks great, there are a lot of different options and cinematic effects. As for a cursory glance the game looks more clearly than RE3. Also, optimization of the game is good just like other games on that engine.
The design of the maps looks awesome. Incredible attention to the details.
Suddenly, the composer of the game is Jeff Broadbent. Everything sounds great like it should be. Especially strands out the main theme. Also there are a few mixes of tracks from the previous games, and they sounds great in environment of the game.
«Resident Evil: Resistance» is a great example of modern today online games, without any objective but extremely fun. It has great potential. It’s has everything it needs to the popular online game.
There are a lot of great choices in the balance of the game, but it's not enough. There is room for improvement. It needs long support.
An indicated list of the issues to be resolved, in my humble opinion:
1) Dedicated servers;
2) Matchmaking improvements;
3) Balance improving, refinement;
4) Some sort of anti-cheat;
5) Cross-platform play.
