Capcom isn't letting the multiplayer failures of the past get it down as the Japanese publisher readies up an open beta for Resident Evil Re:Verse on PlayStation 4. The online pack-in (free with a purchase of Resident Evil Village) will allow anyone who registers their interest to test the game starting 8th April 2021. This beta phase will be live through until the Sunday of that same week, with sign-ups being taken through here. All you'll need to qualify is a Capcom ID and a PS4 or PS5 console to test the game on, with the latter doing so via backwards compatibility. The demo will be available for download starting 6th April 2021.
While first impressions of Resident Evil Re:Verse were mixed, five minutes of recent gameplay footage somewhat alleviated our fears. That comic-book art style can actually be turned off, while gameplay appears to be fairly fun. Let's just hope it's better than Resident Evil Resistance. The open beta will test your survival skills in the Survival Revenger Battle, with classic franchise characters and classic enemies set to feature.

I might have a gander at this, but all the footage of seen so far hasn't been good.
Well, it's basically a demo for a week so why not?
I watched some streams of this and it looked so chaotic and awful. Capcom needs to stop trying to make competitive Resident Evil multiplayer a thing and add some more content into the RE single player; new characters, scenarios, unlocks etc. The past few RE games can be completed well within 4 hours with little else to do afterwards.
Not sure why Capcom feels the need to make multiplayer a part of Resident Evil. Their time would be much better spent enhancing the single player aspect etc. Hopefully after this also crashes and burns they will get the note.
Let them keep trying. They might eventually create a gem. They have the finances to experiment.
This looks awful... it's just resident evil deathmatch and it makes me sad.
I'd understand if the opposing players were of opposing factions, but having Leon and Jill shooting at each other? ARGH!
I'd love a really good co-op resi, but so far those haven't been good either.
Just
Do
Outbreak part III
I would have preferred they kept updating Resistance. I mean this could've been a mode in that game really.
@Mintie Resident Evil 5 is a very solid and fun co op game and Resident Evil 6 is so spectacularly bad that its amazing to play through in co op with a friend.
Please just stop! Not digging the look of 8 as is another shoe horned multiplayer mode has now made this the 1st ever resi (since resi1 when I was like 9 back in early 2000s) I'm skipping entirely 😳😭😭
Already played it , it's meh
So I guess asking for an Outbreak remake is to much it seems.
Not every game needs multiplayer, and I would honestly rather they put their time and resources into strengthening the main game. This comes from someone whom actually enjoyed the RE3make, even with the cut content.
@Jayofmaya its 3 days not a week
@Shepherd_Tallon No idea why they dont do that it was even fun in singleplayer. And Jill fighting Leon its wrong. If they go multiplatform coop is the way too go not the other way around.
@pharos_haven Totally its such a shame.
@Flaming_Kaiser I only played it solo, not by choice, and still had a blast with it. Loved the zoo from the second game. That was my favourite. And the hospital.
@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah man i totally agree. How is it possible that they still have not made a teambased coop resident like Outbreak i will never understand. Im also still waiting for a new Dino Crisis i need my fix of Regina. 😁
@Flaming_Kaiser Oh for sure! I was playing the Outriders demo last night and after the intro I couldn't help but think of the intro to Dino Crisis 2.
I freakin loved DC 1 and 2. I never finished the 3rd game on XBOX, and never played the on the rails shooter at all, so I have no idea if the end of 2 was ever addressed. I'd love to see more of it.
Conceptually it sounds not much different than a lot of the multiplayer modes added into single player games, like the Uncharted ones which I actually had some fun with back on PS3. Even if it’s illogical to have Nate and Elena shooting at each other, you just kinda have to turn your brain off. 😅
@Shepherd_Tallon I would take a remaster/remake any day. Even if they only upgrade the graphics too the new Resident Evil remakes and dont change anything else (ok the controls) then im happy. 😁
@Flaming_Kaiser That's the dream right there. I can already see the Dino Crisis remake speedruns on Twitch 🤤
All the fans want is another Mercenaries or Raid mode and yet we keep being fed these undercooked, lame multiplayer RE games.
I say this as a massive fan of RE.
