I hope RE8 is similar to RE6. I missed the coop while playing through Chris DLC in RE7.

Hopefully not anytime soon, RE 5 and 6 were messes even with friends, I'd rather have another single-player tailored experience.

It really needs to be formally two series I think. Survival Horror and Co-op Action. They've kind of touched on it for years, but they should demarcate them giving one a subtitle.

Hopefully soon, but then again I was in the minority of people who legitimately loved stuff like RE6 and REV 2.

I hope they do a Mercenaries spinoff for consoles

I'd buy that in a heartbeat depending on how the movement worked (I prefer the RE4/5 approach). I was never into RE on PS1 (I couldn't get over how bad the controls were compared to 3rd person games like Mario 64) but I gave RE5 a shot and had fun with it. Then I unlocked Mercenaries mode and that's like the only thing I ever wanted to play again. I purchased RE6 literally just to play the next iteration of Mercenaries.

Co-op and horror aren't really things that go together. Horror is about isolation and fear, or at least works best when it is.

Hoping for a Revelations 3 announcement at some point, only with online co-op and Sheva as a playable character.

The RE games that have focused on co-op haven't really been horror games, more so campy action set pieces with a spooky dressing. I think it's best if the Revelations (or some spin-off) series focuses on co-op, and let's the main series go back to it's roots when it comes to atmosphere, tension, and progression.

The co-op that 5, 6 and Revelations 2 had was really great, and fairly unique for the industry. Certainly something that will hopefully continue.

Wish they could make a spin-off online outbreak game with the RE engine. That would be pretty cool. Best bet is Revelations 3 probably sometime down the line.

Revelations 3 could be the co-op action we need. There really aren't any games quite like it.
The closest analogue I can think of to it would be Dying Light:

Is that correct, or am I way off base? Are there any co-op games like RE 5 and 6 that support online play? I suppose the Gears of War series sort of counts.

I coin the phrase "wrestling-shooter" genre

So that people stop suggesting games that doesn't allow you to do wrestling moves on your enemies when they're down.

After RE7 in VR, Ain't no way I'd go back to action co-op RE 5/6 style gameplay. That crap belongs in the 360 era and can stay there.

Now co-op REVR I can get behind.

I didn't think 6's co-op was good, but I had a blast with 5. Hopefully sometime again.

Outbreak HD.

Reuse much of REmake 2 assets, seeing as it's set in the same space.

I feel like RE has found its groove again with 7 and the upcoming 2.

So hopefully never. I mean, they are fun co-op games. But terrible Resident Evil horror games.

There aren't many big horror games any more, so Resi 8 needs to carry that flame.

I'm surprised there hasn't really been any indie games that try to ape the RE4/5/6 style of gameplay.

I like going back to both 4 and 5 but now I'm wanting similar experiences just with different levels.

Either we'll see a Spin-off at some point or another IP will take the reigns of that style in some form. Action Co-op games that aren't GAAS are few and far between (this is one of the reasons a way out sold so well). So I think even capcom knows that they have a consumer base interested in such experiences that aren't being catered to with say Monster Hunter World.

Never, I hope.

Resident Evil is much better when it plays like a Resident Evil should play.

Hopefully never, jog on with that noise. Resident Evil should stay single player. Co-op doors and co-op throw your friend across the room with an impatient partner wanting you to progress at their pace is not how Resident Evil should be played.

Keep mainline Survival Horror and make Revelaitons the Co-op Action series. I mean, I had fun playing all the co-op REs with my buddy, but I still want the mainline series to be singleplayer Survival Horror.

6 is the best RE game and deep down you know it's the truth.

It should be illegal to be this wrong

the scariest thing about revelations so far was the mispelling

if capcom really said that they were either pulling our legs or just gone insane

I played through RE5 and RE6 in co-op exclusively for the first time very recently (I just finished RE6 a few days ago, actually) and if they make it closer to 5 and get rid of all the stupid horseshit they added in 6 I would be VERY excited. I had a blast with RE5.

Well, realistically speaking, probably not any time soon since the main RE team is working on RE2 and will probably get on RE8 after that.

There is the possibility of Revelation 3 but it's not the same as a full on mainline action RE.

And honestly it's a major fail on Capcom's part that we are even having this conversation considering how well RE4-RE6 have sold and continue to sell.

Well,Next RE CG-Movie will be Jill and Leon vs Los Iluminados remnants.

What, really?

Hope it's as good as Vendetta.

For every co-op suplex not happening on screen is money wasted.

Time to bring out the return of Billy and Rebecca
