As the asymmetrical multiplayer game has evolved and blended well with horror themes as of late, it certainly appears to be a natural fit for Resident Evil 's undertaking in developing its own asymmetrical online multiplayer game . In Resident Evil Resistance , one player controls the Mastermind, whose job consists of deploying traps, dispatching enemies, and manipulating the environment to try and exterminate the 4-player team known as Survivors, as they attempt to traverse the map to fulfill their own objecti
"For me, the first three Silent Hill games were mind-blowing and always in the back of my mind. When we got this opportunity and started talking to Konami it was clear we had access to this content, so it made sense for me to pick the most iconic things from each title and make a big Silent Hill packa
Based on this need to be efficient in applying pressure, the majority of the Deathslinger’s add-ons either cut down on reload time, stun duration for broken chains, or bumps up movement speed while aiming. Other add-ons afflict survivors in different ways, such as adding the time it tends to completely mend, which pairs wll with Sloppy Butcher and Nurse’s calling to make survivors waste t
Dead Man's Switch is the second new perk, and there is certainly potential for usefulness here with certain killers. Since the perk only activates when hooking the Obsession, it all but requires pairing with the Nemesis perk to constantly have a stream of viable targets. Otherwise, the most value one could get from this perk is three activations, and that would require either a bit of luck playing optimally, or tunneling and camping a single survi
PC players are first in line for updates and patches typically, so they get to play a better version of the game earlier. Console players do make up a sizeable chunk of the base, so it would make sense to prioritize them over PC players until the console version is sta
If the map is too small, it can work against the survivors. The killer would be able to catch them much quicker and hook them, then rinse and repeat. Since everything is close together, and if the killer has a perk that makes his speed faster, they can reach the survivors in no time. Map sizes should be somewhere in between to give both the killer and survivors breathing room. Which would make the game easier for both part
Skip ahead to 2015 and Evolve was released by 2K Games and a group of developers who previously helped create Left 4 Dead before departing Valve. Given the prestige of the minds behind Evolve's development, there was high hopes for the game, which attempted to change the formula of asymmetric multiplayer games and offer some interesting innovations and twists, while moving the genre into the mainstr
Since Hex: Retribution causes the Oblivious status in survivors that cleanse dull totems and reveals the location of all survivors when cleaning a Hex totem, pairing both perks together will force players to think twice about cleansing anything, and the same could be said about other Hex perks like Haunted Grounds, Ruin, and others. It’s usefulness will depend on rank and survivor coordination, and what else can be paired with it. At the very least, the popular use of NOED makes this a decent perk to use, even if only sparingly to keep survivors guess

Unfortunately, as unique as it was among the mainstream gaming world, Evolve was plagued by criticism among many fans for being too limited in content and small in scope to justify its $60 price tag. Although Evolve sold over 2.5 million copies by May, 2015, it never established a sustainable foothold nor a lasting community, and the overall genre of asymmetric multiplayer games regressed back into the shadows of the gaming frin
Capcom made a wise decision including Resident Evil Resistance within the Resident Evil 3 base package. In doing so, they may succeed in fulfilling Evolve's original aim by establishing a strong online community among mainstream gamers invested in an asymmetrical multiplayer game, which has not been fully realized in the gaming industry at this point in time. It is questionable whether gamers, even Resident Evil fans, would pay money for a stand-alone Resident Evil multiplayer game, especially given that Resident Evil's past attempts at doing so have not been met with much success among online play
