At its press event yesterday, Capcom showed off a trailer for Resident Evil Online, its online multiplayer survival horror game for the PlayStation 2. The game will put players in the role of one of several average people struggling to survive the horrors of the T-virus in the wake of Leon Kennedy and Clare Redfield's battle against the Umbrella Corporation.
The game is a four-player cooperative online game that supports broadband and modem connections and requires players to work with three other people to stay alive. Players will be able to choose one of eight characters, each with unique attributes and abilities. The zombie-bait options will include Kevin, a Raccoon City police officer; George, a doctor; Yoko, a mysterious Japanese woman; Mark, a war veteran turned security guard; Cindy, a waitress; David, a plumber; Jim, a railway worker who is good at solving puzzles; and Alyssa, a reporter. A challenging and potentially troublesome aspect of working with a team is the need to keep everyone alive, which is essential to progression. Not only is losing a team member detrimental to players' chances of success in the game, but it's also going to be hazardous to players' health, as the dead characters will become zombies.
