from the article, it would only be single-player if they did do it.

no doubt this will happen

All this just shows that Sony will never re-implement backwards compatibility, when they can just re-sell you what you already own.

MrBeatdown4583d ago (Edited 4583d ago )

Yeah, because slowly releasing a handful of PS2 games on PSN is soooo much more profitable than universal backwards compatibility allowing for basically every PS2 game ever made to be sold to 50 million PS3 owners.

thereapersson4583d ago (Edited 4583d ago )

Because the PS2 is still selling.

There are many people who missed out on some great PS2 titles who now have the chance to play them for a cheap price. As for those of us who already own or used to own physical copies of the game, it's the consumer's choice to rebuy or not. I don't see why people complain about having more games to choose from. I see it as win/win for everyone. Much like the HD remastered PS2 titles, no one is forcing you to buy these games.

but remember guys thats if it sells, i bought a ps3 to play next gen not last gen

Just re-release it as a XBLA/PSN game with p2p online rather than servers. That way we could also get it in 1080p rather than running on emulation software which is what the PS2 classics on PS3 are doing.

jeeves864582d ago

They just re-released two of their best-selling games, I doubt they'd be revamping this one too.

Pozzle4583d ago

OMG! I hope this game sells well on PSN. Maybe then Capcom will consider making a new Outbreak game for PS3/360. :O

sl4y44583d ago

Yes please! I never got a chance to play the OB games online before the serves were taken down, if they released it on the PSN with MP that would be awesome. Also Capcom? Outbreak 3 please?

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..

CrimsonWing69511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

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.
