In part because it was going to be PS2 only. More game sales crap.

know if RE:Outbreak is coming to PC?
Don't think so, PS2 exclusive
Funny thing about Outbreak is, I'd been discussing the idea w/ several friends about the idea of a MMOFPS based on RE for probably 2+ years before I first heard about one being made. I got so pissed.

Battlefield 1942 and now Vietnam get a lot of playtime round here
No one has much time at the moment though, which sucks. Exams, coursework, and working suck terribly.
The best games have been Age of Empires 2. Still the "longest" runner in all respects. Games can last for a few days, normally co-op on vs staggering amounts of ai on very hard, otherwise its no fun. Age of mythology didn't really go down well
), aom did pretty much suck, the titans added a little bit of life to it but not enough to stop it being banished to valhalla, these days Rise of Nations (and now thrones & patriots XPack) is mostly played now incredible fun if you havent got it get it, its the evolvement of AOE2, i regularly host server for it im sure i can squeeze u in somewhere)Rogue Spear is a top game to play, terrorist hunt with each player having a squad of men to get their asses blown up.
Alien vs Predator 2 Xcoop mod got a good play
my mate jon did tho, scared him shitless lolSticking with the mod theme, next up is GTA:VC
) but i too cant wait for october when gta san andreas comes out (unfortunately i expect mid 2005 for pc version 
)Serious Sam 2 had a couple of runs, that's good for a chuckle
Deathmatches don't go down well due to the number of players (too few most of the time really). For a good deathmatch you need perhaps 8, but even better 16 imo. The problem is people's abilities in games vary pretty largely and the scoreboard pretty much always comes out the same which gets very boring for all. Co-op goes down much better, building bases and forming tactics increases enjoyability tenfold
I love action adventure games
) and zelda that fit this catergory, although im sure theres a lot that i like just cant think of them offhand, enlighten meSpeakling of which, I can't wait for the starwars type Battlefield 1942 that's out this xmas either
eagerly awaiting HL2 later this year too.
I've posted over @ fh about my views on co-operative gameplay. If you can't find it (and you actually care) I'll probably be able to dig it out. It started as a thread about games to play over xmas... or co-operative games or something.

so spud what games do u play lan/wan? might have to go head2head or co-op or something sometime, or start a hhah-sfhah clan (sfhah - science fiction has a home
BF1942: Desert Combat & RtCW: Enemy Territory are very fun. Bad thing is my system isn't up to spec for those. Maybe we can set up HL RE: tE?
by maxpayne2409 on Sat May 08, 2004 12:08 pm
Yeah, the one with 2 new weapons, 1 per character, & monsters in slightly different locations so HARDCORE players who know where everything is, isn't?
I have a MS SideWinder Pad & MS SW Pro Joystick. Both have served me well in games.
You only wish! ;p Get in line for saying our ideas were stolen.
Ooh yeah! Let's get it on!!! BF1942: Desert Combat & RtCW: Enemy Territory are very fun. Bad thing is my system isn't up to spec for those
... and upgrade made hehe, but ive got DC installed along with farcry *beats spud back*, RoN, bf1942+swoww2, and...*mumbles* singles - flirt up your life *COUGH*Reguarding UT1, SS2, AoE2, & AoM, Never played them
Reguarding GTA3, it just gets soo friggin' monotonous so quick. I barely got maybe 1/4 - 1/2 through before I got real real sick of it.
Maxpayne: Octopus released over at HHAH in case you didn't notice. And yes, the sequel will come next. =)
trust u to release it just as im powersharing/releasing aswell but ill grab it for lateroh no. not another FPS thread

. Control system is now defence weapon based. If you get bit twice your dead, but you can taser, knife, grenade them if you have a defence weapon. The zombies drop to the ground and stay there, if you don't incinerate their corpses they come back to life as these uber bastards. The important rooms are the same, everything else either got the axe or has been redesigned. A huge section in the graveyard round the back of the mansion is added, another sub-story of a little girl that's been infected with the T-strain, had to be locked up and then escaped and massacre her parents is neat, infact its probably the best bit in the game. There's a huge underground section under the graveyard. The puzzles are a lot harder and nothing is in its original location. The graphics system is totally overhauled obviously. The control system isn't as clunky (although still not proper analogue). I dunno what your talking about new weapons? There's an entirely knew weapons system if that's what you mean? Which means when your attacked, you either use a defence weapon or you die... no gay ass 100 bites and your dead. It's changed enough for someone that waltz through the original a few times couldn't waltz through this one without going back to the "what the fuck next stage?".

Oh and GTA3 is crap, was a bad port too imo
There's a few lacklustre ones like Shadow Man
completed all the AvPs, but I wish I hadn't bothered with the second and its addon. Man did they fuck that one up. The engine they used was terrible too.
by spudthedestroyer on Mon May 10, 2004 12:00 am
although for the followed remakes of re2, 3, CV they were only slightly upgraded not really overhauled as such, and they certainly put no where near as much effort into them as they did re1 remake which is a shame as RE2 is by far the best re game
The second was a bit more action oriented though, if they hadn't totally remade the first, the second would be more suited to a remake as it has a better replay value. But luckily they gave the first full treatment... hooray! They should have done them all but Capcom are cheapskates.lacklustre doesnt even *begin* to cover that abomination of a game, the story sounded ghood, then i played it on psx after a mate gave me it 2 days after he bought ti because he hated it so much, even for a free game i gave him it back coz i hated it so much
They f*cked that up so badly, its almost inconceivable that the same game is infinitely better on the PC, dreamcast and N64 Control scheme was terrible on the PSX, graphics were crap, it was buggy as hell... I think they made it for the N64 and then got some chimps to port it to the PSX. Then seeing their mistake, the same company made it for the PC. Then when the dreamcast arrived, made it for that too. I completed the n64 version, gets much better after the prison riot. Levels become more elaborate, weapons become better, more blood and weirdness, art work is brilliant too. The Asylum and nusery stages rule. I should reiterate that the PSX version is terrible and I was not referring to that at all.
