Biohazard: Umbrella Corps (possible next game)

[Mr.BioHazard]

This looks like CRAP.

The animations such, the AI is horrible (the zombis just STAND there), the music is blah, textures blah. Just all blah. At least ORC was interesting, zombies were a threat and the plot was somewhat interesting.

The zombies just stand there as every player spawns with a zombie jammer, which makes the zombies non agressive towards them unless they are attacked first.

ORC2 this game is not.

The whole canon/non-canon thing is actually pretty pointless today, since companies have control over their own IPs. They are allowed to retcon things that they want in order to aid future storylines, and they are allowed to decide what is canon and what is not. For instance, they can say this game Umbrella Corps is canon, and then when RE7 comes out, say that it really isn't canon, or canon anymore. I remember when the Saw videogames came out, it was said that one or both of them were canon, until the producers/directors of the next film said that the games were just games, they have nothing to do with the story of the movies.

It really is up to the owners of the IPs to decide what is canon or what isn't canon, retcon or not recon what they want, WHEN they want, and HOW they want, whether the fans like it or not. So the whole debate about if something is canon or not today really is pointless. Umbrella Corps could be considered by Capcom to be canon, and then all of sudden they can say that it isn't, just like that.

CAPCOM are actually pretty straight when it comes to canon. For a franchise that's been going for about 20 years, there are virtually no retcons and what is canon and what isn't is set in stone quite early. Aside from remakes, they've never gone back and said "this isn't canon anymore."

I would imagine its just the concept that is canon. There is no story campaign mode and there will be no characters other than faceless grunts. It's set in 2015 where B.O.W.s are commonplace and simply part of everyday life now given the amount of bioterrorism incidents that have occurred since Raccoon City. Rival corporations fighting it out in controlled infection zones for B.O.W.s is the only thing that can be added to the canon from this, and apart from literally fighting it out in battle zones, they have been doing that throughout the series. Ever since the first game differing organisations and companies have been fighting it out to get hold of Umbrella's legacy.

Yeah, this game itself has no story. Only a premise, and it's that premise that's canon. We've already known that mercenaries are used by companies and organizations to steal Umbrella's research. All this game does is let us know that B.O.W.'s are still around two years after BIO6, which presents a lead-in to BIO7.

Of course, they can change what they want later (they did that with the very first RE), but their idea with this game at the moment is to make it fit into the timeline, unlike ORC which has been scheduled as a 'what-if' since day one.

Anyway it won't make much difference, no matter how canon this could be Kawata also said it won't have significant impact on the main story, so most likely nothing relevant will come from this game plot wise... well... actually nothing relevant will come from this game in any aspect. You can take it as another Gun Survivor 4: canon but nobody cares.

GS1 and GS4 are pretty important in the grand scheme of things.

The animations must be temporary. The rest, there is nothing more we can do.

[Lanzagranadas]

Zombies roam like idiots and do nothing because the game features that 'Zombie Jammer' shit. You don't understand guys, these are modern zombies, they're no longer moved by their primitive thirst of flesh and blood, they track victims using Wi-fi and electromagnetic signals, so if you can block their signal with your jammer then you'll neutralize the threat, makes sense!

[Deathlygasm]

I don't even wanna talk about this fucking game, bye Felicia.

[Det. Beauregard]

Does this game even have a single-player element? If not, what's the point of even playing it?

[Sly]

The point of playing a videogame is to have fun, I guess. No, there is no single player element in it.

Zombie Jammer? Capcom, just can this game. They could make a more put together ORC instead of this trash.

[Lanzagranadas]

This game will be probably unplayable, no single player or at least a campaign with some shitty AI partners means you'll allways need at least 3 more players to play with. Sounds awful, imagine you buy this game but it turns out that you can't play anything because nobody plays the damn game.

[Deathlygasm]

Yea once the community dies on this game you'll have a 30 dollar game on your library that you can't get rid of or sell.

Somebody was just streaming this on youtube, is it even out yet?

The funny thing is, if this game came out in 1998/99 every RE fan would be creaming themselves. Not referring to the graphics, but the gameplay. An RE shooter where you could customize your character would of been so awesome at that time. They're about 20 years too late tbh. Way behind the curve. Is it even worth buying for the "lolz"? Probably not. Might as well wait for RE5 PS4 on 28th.

Apparantly the game has clunky controls that don't feel responsive. In 2016 where every shooter needs to be 60fps and feel smooth as hell I don't see this games online community lasting very long.

And apparently, according to Famitsu, where the reviewers each gave it 9/10 for a total of 36/40, this game is better than Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Code Veronica and is on par with Resident Evil 3. Lolz.
