Rely on Horror: Where there is a will, there’s a way. Outbreak Server Recreation Project is a fan-made revival of Capcom’s Resident Evil: Outbreak spinoff series. Developed by some determined fans, both Outbreak and Outbreak File #2 can once again be played over the internet with other players, now through custom made servers designed by fans.

Wasn't this game out well before left 4 dead?

I remember playing it as a kid on the ps2. Wish i had internet back then to play with other ppl

Insane to finally hear this happening, I remember being online when they shut the servers down and how long it's been in the works to bring them back. Hopefully NA people can join in on this because I would be all over it!

DCfan3770d ago

American copies are not supported, because they're missing the packet for something im not sure about.

ocelot073770d ago

Holy shit will have to track down a Japanese copy of this game. Still have my PS2 with a Network adapter and a slim PS2.

Not so easy..Capcom must provide rights for the game to be play online even if the servers are not own from them the content is.

Shuyin3770d ago

If you bought the product then you own the rights to use the software in whatever way you like.
You will only get problems if you benefit from doing stuff like that

KonsoruMasuta3770d ago

Well, you are partly right. You can't technically do "whatever" you want with it but there shouldn't be a problem with this. As long as they aren't profiting off it, Capcom probably won't care.

Yes. Either a remake like re2 remake. Or something original with the outbreak name. I've been playing hunt showdown, and I would love something like that but with a resident evil coat of paint..

The time was right back when they started adding MP to the mainline entries. Hell, I have no idea why they won’t! I mean, instead we get bs like Umbrella Corps and RE:Verse… whoever is in charge of MP games over at Capcom must be stuck on stupid.

MrCrimson511d ago

yes, make items random, sort of like a metroidvania-

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH511d ago

If Capcom remade Outbreak it would most likely be free to play filled with MT’s. Just leave it dead.

Nothing this seems more in the vein of Operation Raccoon City so I'll be ignoring this one completely.

I highly enjoyed Operation Racoon City.

TheGamersGhost1701d ago

Definitely nothing wrong with that. Always good to hear when someone enjoys something!

I tried to enjoy it, but couldn't get past its flaws.

It could have been a lot better, but Marcus Kane approves of this comment.
