Think Friday the 13th but with a Tyrant instead of Jason
We’ve had rumors and leaks over the past several weeks but now we have official word from Capcom coming out of the Tokyo Game Show. A new Resident Evil game titled “Project Resistance” is heading to consoles later this year and it’s looking like a multiplayer affair.
The info we have shows that Project Resistance is a team-based survival horror experience that reminds many of the current Friday The 13th: The Game experience, but older gamers like myself will get a Left 4 Dead vibe from the trailer. I hope the game is more the latter than the former. And it’s not just a Tyrant as the game is pulling from monsters from across the series in some Arcade’s Revenge type shit.

The game is built off the same engine that powers the Resident Evil 2 remake, so expect the game to look pretty at the very least. To be sure this isn’t the next core entry into the Resident Evil series but I’m totally okay with that as it gives Capcom time to build something. That and I loved Left 4 Dead and even played a few rounds of it just last week.
The last Resident Evil revitalized a dead franchise that long-since jumped the shark into cheesy action with humans jumping around like superheroes. It was praised for returning to the horror aspect of the original game, and while I thought the old-man who punches monsters DLC was a bit idiotic and showed Capcom falling into old habits, I loved what the core game offered.
The Resident Evil 2 remake was incredible and helped to keep the RE name alive and growing for a new generation. Let’s hope this new title is at least fun so that Capcom can take a break and build another great core resident Evil game down the road when they are ready. Whatever happens, I’m just glad RE isn’t being turned into CoD/Madden.
