Anyone that says "ORC is pretty much File #3" I just have to question whether they actually ever played an Outbreak game.

Come on now, it's pretty much SOCOM: US Navy SEALs in a Resident Evil wrapper. I'm not saying it won't be fun to mow down a bunch of zombies online but even calling it a "spiritual successor" is a long shot. The only similarities it shares with Outbreak is that it has multiplayer and it takes place during the Raccoon City incident. That's about it. If anything it's more closely related to The Mercanaries mini games from RE4/RE5. They share the same style of action. All they did was add a storyline and throw in some original characters.

You know, the reason why I'm calling it a spiritual successor is that the developers themselves said that.

It's a pretty vague term anyway and if the guys actually drew from that series then that's pretty cool.

To be fair, that's pretty much what Outbreak did too. That's not to say I'd still call this a File.
