Should I get RE: Outbreak for the PS2? It's running for only £2.82 on Amazon.co.uk. |

| ONLY £2.82?!?! GET IT! NOW!!!!
Those games are pretty costy these days, that's a total bargain.
You will get a whole new RE experience from this so I would totally recommend this. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

Outbreak is so awesome, you'll love it. though i will admit that there are plenty of things that will take some getting used to. _________________ -Vae Victus-Suffering To The Conquered-"The ultimate lifeform...Tyrant", Albert Wesker, REmakeConsumer Recreation Services  |

Like what? Also, the screenshots are brilliant! And that's saying something for a PS2 game.
PS: Today's my lucky day. I got Outbreak for £2.82, and, I rediscovered a bunch of old games I had when I was a weiner kid. |

| Get it! You know what would be sweet, if they did an HD remake of both Outbreak games and they could connect to PSN and XBL that way you could play with other people. |

I thought the graphics on PS2 were pretty sweet in pretty much any of the later games.
For the getting used to part: You have two AI partners running around with you, there are no item boxes (although the item drop system is the same as in Zer0 and you can swap items with partners like in RE5) and the load times are pretty bad. Also the eight characters have different traits so expect to have different gameplay for each._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

| Who would you say are the best character's for a somewhat seasoned RE player? Also, shame about the load times. Is the door animation still there?
PS: When you compare the PS2 with the original xBox and Gamecube... |

I guess Kevin Ryman would be your choice then. The door animation is lacking too, there's a heartbeat sound instead of that. The load time problem was fixed for the second game, though.
| For a quick rundown on all the characters: | | |
Kevin Ryman: Pretty much an all rounder. Starts with a special handgun, is good at headshots and can kick enemies. One of the surviving RPD officers.
Mark Wilkins: A Barry-like character. Starts with a regular handgun, is the most resilient to damage, good with blunt weapons and also the strongest. Security guard.
David King: A Super Mario-like character. Starts with a knife, able to combo knife attacks and can craft new weapons. Plumber who has the habit of disappearing and reappearing when you least expect it (AI).
George Hamilton: Surgeon from Raccoon Hospital. Is able to combine herbs into various pills and has a dodge/counter which is pretty tricky to use. Haven't played much as him.
Jim Chapman: The coward of the team. Pretty weak, can increase his critical chance with a coin toss, is able to play dead to avoid enemies (this makes the infection rate higher, though), can spot items from the map and is skilled with puzzles. Never played as the guy.
Yoko Suzuki: Has extra inventory space, much like Jill in the first game. She's the slowest and the weakest but has the dodge ability and the slowest virus gauge. Ex Umbrella.
Alyssa Ashcroft: Strongest female character. Has the lockpick and is able to use the pot shot ability. Reporter.
Cindy Lennox: I think she might be the fastest character. Can carry extra herbs in her Herb Case and is able to duck to avoid getting hit.
|
A couple of other things to take into consideration in this game: There is a virus gauge which is pretty much a timer, if it gets to 100% you're dead. It's not fast but taking serious damage makes things worse (there are items to slow it down). There's also character "relationships" which can affect how the survivors act towards each other in different scenarios. Oh, and dead partners come back to life as zombies. And one more thing: different endings for different characters for each scenario.
I don't know about GC but to me the PS2 and XBox graphics looked exactly the same._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link]

| damn, mass pretty much covered it all. but yeah, go with kevin. he was the first, and pretty much only character i play as. though i did play all of them.
he has the same rpd uniform as leon, minus the long sleeves underneath. basically though, he just starts with a .45, which is winning.
although you can find a 9mm extremely easily on any level....its whatever though. _________________ -Vae Victus-Suffering To The Conquered-"The ultimate lifeform...Tyrant", Albert Wesker, REmakeConsumer Recreation Services |

Also the earlier games like FFX and ICO looked great. |

Did you play all of them on all scenarios? My preferred character tends to be David. His knife combo kicks ass._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

| You know, the Outbreak games just might be the Resident Evil games with most content and replay value. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |
