Resident Evil Outbreak - anyone still play the Outbreak games?

It sucks that I missed out on the online coop when it lasted a few years ago. Sucks even more that Capcom gone and went stupid and shut down the online server for the Outbreak games but then they had to make that Operation Raccoon videogame which technically to me is sort of a Outbreak 3.

Resident Evil Outbreak 1 and File 2 I think are still great. You get to play as the citizens of Raccoon City and see how they deal with the zombies running around and how they deal with Lickers and Tyrants.

I bet some of you were jerks and just left the other player alone to fend for themselves against a Licker or whatever? :P. I wouldnt be surprised.

The Outbreak games were pretty good.

Sadly the Outbreak games were ahead of their time. Online gaming for consoles was new and not many people had their PS2's connected to the net at the time. Also Capcom's decision to deliberately keep voice chat out of the game pretty much made it impossible to play in any real co-op way with other players really hurt the experience. I mean could you imagine if they tried saying that when RE5 was released?

Ahhh I LOVED Outbreak File #2 back in the day. Got to play that one online and it was amazing! I still remember how accomplished I felt FINALLY beating Desparate Times on Very Hard in a non-infinite room. With all the time I put into that game I only managed to accomplish that ONCE....

The Outbreak games were pretty good.

Outbreak brings back so many memories. Wish they would make another one or do a sequel.

Well Operation Raccoon City the new videogame I guess you can technically call it Resident Evil Outbreak 3 in a way. Online play and everything

The Outbreak games were pretty good.

I agree, I loved playing as David or Kevin. For me the RE outbreak games were right behind RE1 remake and RE2 for the best RE games.

it wasn't capcom that shut it down lol...they just made the game

SNAP is who owned the rights and online ability's and they could not afford to keep the servers up and went out of business

some phone company bought them if i recall

bothers me even more then such a great game dying when people say things w/o having a remote idea what they are talking about :/

I miss the outbreak games. I try different character combinations and came up with no good combinations at all. T_T

Yeah i miss those games in playstation. They should come out with the new consoles

They were flawed, but I loved these games. I actually bought a second PS2, two PS2 HDs and two copies of each game just so my and my roomate could play splitscreen on my 16x9 CRT RP. The Eurpoean versions of the game supported LAN play, which the US ones did not unfortunately. I understand why they elected to not include voice chat. I actually liked the idea that you had to communicate using your character's voice, but they didn't give you nearly enough options to communicate effectively, even in File #2. This made the game just frustrating. Still, they played a lot like classic RE games.

I loved Outbreak games. Yoko was my favorite character because of the backpack. The two games were scarier and more entertaining than RE5 and 6.

I absolutely loved the Outbreak games. They were some of THE funnest times i've ever had playing online with friends. I thought Operation Raccoon City was really not that good and was too action packed. I felt way over powered in that game. The great thing about Outbreak was the fact that you were very vulnerable and you had to scavenge for supplies throughout the level. I really hope that Capcom realizes that an Outbreak 3 would be the perfect way to reintroduce true horror to the fading series.

I love Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 :) Beat it many times, however I haven't played File 1.

Ahead of their time, unfortunately. Online gaming during their release was just was not fully realized or technically sound at that point.

@gamingqueen: Her charm also helps a lot too. :D She's also my favorite character in Outbreak.
