Project Resistance was revealed by Capcom earlier this month, and the gaming world remains a little divided over it – or ambivalent, at worst. On one hand, it's a brand new Resident Evil game using the RE2 remake's game engine, and those don't tend to go that well.
Hopefully this latest video released by Capcom will change a few Resident Evil fans' minds. We've already had a short look at some Project Resistance gameplay in the first trailer, but now we're getting our best look yet at the game – as Capcom has posted a full five-player match on YouTube.
The video shows four of the match's five players in a split-screen view, including the Mastermind in the top right. This is the player working against the others, who places various monsters and traps along the way – and even takes control of creatures at certain points, such as the intimidating Mr. X.
However, things may have not gone as Capcom planned, as the video currently has a lot more dislikes than it does likes. At the time of writing, it has 670 Likes and 998 Dislikes – roughly 50% more on the Dislike side. It's hard to tell if players just don't like the concept and are upset that it's not single-player – but there are certainly legitimate complaints to be had to. Check it out below.
For starters, the main problem a lot of players have is that the Mastermind character never shuts up. He's constantly making quips and threats, which grows tiring very fast – and this is only one match. Despite having four players running around the locations don't seem much bigger than a single-player Resident Evil game, and the Mastermind can seemingly spawn monsters right in front of the players. The UI's a bit of a mess, too.
It should be pointed out, of course, that this is presumably all just gameplay from the Capcom has made it clear that this is only a "project" right now, which may not even make it to a full game release.
We'll find out if players are more impressed with Project Resistance when the beta goes live October 4 – although only on consoles, sadly.
