Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3DS Announced

[Skunky]

Wow, looks GREAT!

At least I now have 2 reasons for considering getting a 3DS...
I'd still rather see these games on other consoles (PS3 please!) but I guess that's the whole point of making them exclusive. To force me to buy the damn thing.

[Xander Ashford]

I would probably be more excited for the Mercs title...if it was on a system other than the 3DS. I'll get it either way...but putting it on a portable somehow just doesnt sit well with me. Aside from the standard bunch you'd expect (Wesker, Leon, Ada), I hope Krauser returns. I hated him in mercs at first, but that fucker grew on me the more I played him.

I agree. Krauser was fairly unique in Mercenaries since he had that auto-kill super move that worked on everything. In Resident Evil 5, we have Wesker's "Cobra Strike," but I can kill Reapers with that!

I am excited for an all out Mercenaries game if done right. I can't really see paying $40+ for what I have in Resident Evil 4/5. It definitely needs to have more than just a few unique characters and a lot more levels. If this is done in a similar fashion to Final Fantasy's Dissidia, I think it will fair well. Dissidia had A LOT of characters to choose from, a decent array of levels, two costumes per character and unlockable features. I want similar things implemented into this Mercenaries.

And I really hope they throw some off the wall, less common characters in the mix. I mean, put someone like Alfred Ashford into the mix...Or Richard Aiken...I just want to see people aside from the typical Chris/Jill/Wesker/Leon cast. I'd even like it to where you play at a B.O.W. or Birkin's G-Virus forms.

I want Wesker, but I definitely want something different than just S.T.A.R.S. and Midnight variations.

a game thats only the mercenaries....double lame

[Smiley]

I and other merc fans have always been asking for a standalone mercs title incorporating a lot of the characters, stages and monsters. I'm just bummed it's on the 3DS rather than a console. It's too early to tell but it just looks like most of it will be RE4 and RE5 inspired stages with the same gameplay. It wouldn't hurt to incorporate RE3 mercs into this title since you could kill enemies for time and rescue civilians in the mix. Certainly would expand on the rules and settings rather than just making it a shoot all and collect timers event.

Oh and I shouldn't need to say this, but we do need Claire in mercenaries.

And if they do aim for other enemies besides RE4 and RE5 ones it wouldn't be bad to include classical ones like hunters, crimson heads, chimeras, and maybe even a tyrant or Nemesis.

I'm glad they are bringing 2 RE titles to a portable system. Like others, as a person who works full time, I rarely have time to stay home and play regularly. So short bursts of 15-20 minutes of gameplay is perfect for me on the go. Atmosphere for resident evil died a long time ago with RE3, so I can immerse anywhere .

[DeadArtist]

I really don't want to get a 3DS. I wish they would bring the Mercenaries game to the REAL consoles .

Why is everyone who is unsure/crying over the "Plagas" and not "zombies" forgetting one of the most important things?

Tha fact that we saw a zombie/slash fuckin CRIMSON HEAD in the main hall of the mansion!

Rest assured people, it will have zombies too, but if thats a flashback or something, then we can lead a riot to the doors of Capcom together. : D


Edit: It's too early to complain about RE: Merceneries, people.
Remember, because of the fact that it's a stand-alone, Mercs only, and possibly have a seperate team working on it, it might be a super Merceneries, with many assorted stages and characters. If not, then...um...we do the riot again.

I'd still prefer the Mercenaries game to be released on a console, because I liked RE5's Mercenaries a lot. It kept me playing the game for months longer than I should have. I guess this is a good marketing ploy because eventually I'll probably end up getting a 3DS, but I really really don't want to have to get ANOTHER handheld. The price scares me away when it's in the same range/more expensive than regular current-gen consoles.

[Archelon]

Lets be honest the merc shit is just milking it ... we dont even want it

Actually, lots of people have been asking for a Mercs-only game for awhile now, at least as a standalone PSN/XBLA game.

In any case, I was never really a huge fan of Mercenaries. I enjoyed it for what it was back when RE4 initially came out, though I only really played it to unlock the Handcannon. I was really hoping Capcom would do something different for RE5, but, well, yeah. Since there was no real incentive to play it (i.e. you couldn't unlock anything for use in the main campaign) other than trying to achieve high scores, I never bothered with it much in RE5, even Gold Edition.

That being said, I think it makes perfect sense to release something like this on a handheld. As xfactor mentioned, online multiplayer handheld games are huge in Japan right now, and the ability to play a quick match in Mercs lends itself well to "on-the-go" gaming if you're just looking to kill some time on a bus ride or something like that. It doesn't require the same time investment as, say, something like Revelations will.

Though it'll be interesting to see if Revelations is structured any differently from previous games in the series to allow for short, maybe 10-15 minute, spurts of playtime, which seems to be what a lot of developers who have traditionally made console games seem to do when working on a handheld system.

I really really hope this includes the Reunion characters

[Zero38]

Cool! Revelations gameplay looks great, so it seems it'll be single player? Maybe it will be like RE1/RE2.

The Mercenaries 3D looks interesting aswell, but if I get a 3DS I can't see myself getting it, unless they have more than recycled RE4+RE5 maps. The silhouettes in the promo artwork look like Barry (AE render), Ada, Sheva and Rebecca. Claire should be in the game, and Wesker is most likely playable.


It will have both, remember the zombie in the E3 trailer?

Well, I think What You're saying is Right
Andriasang said RE:R is listed as a Survival Horror Game , While RE:M listed as a Survival Action Game
so Yea ..

Revelations looks vaguely interesting, but I'm rather hoping for zombies over Plagas stuff, and the Regenerator suggests Plagas. Which makes me sad.

I gotta admit, the 3DS looks so much cooler and more impressive than the fucking Wii, and all of the other DS versions. I was never a big fan of the DS, because while everyone hyped it up, I found nothing impressive about it. I might actually pick a 3DS up, because not only does it have all of these cool options, including the 3D (which I assume is like 3D similar to movies, which is pretty awesome then), the titles for it are not half bad at all.

I'm not crazy about the Mercenaries title, but we'll see on that. But Revelations isn't looking too bad. Ashame that they're sticking with the same gameplay scheme from RE5, but did you see the blood that flew at the glass, and the blood on the floor? At least the game looks darker and maybe more horror than RE5.

We'll have to wait and see. But hopefully we will get another Revelations trailer or gameplay video soon.

I skipped RE5 altogether, so I hope I can be able to buy this one. Let it be good! One thing I have noticed though, is that you have to train yourself not to look at too many YouTube videos, and gameplay clips/trailers, because too many of them can really ruin the gameplay experience. If this game turns out looking good, I might play it, so I don't want to ruin the experience by watching the videos on YouTube.

Give me Mad Jackal or nothing

I was never a fan of the RE4/5 style mercs, and so far this doesn't look to be anything different.
