Resident Evil Outbreak Locations

Dominik Mayr — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 07:10:14 +0000

Scenario 1 – Outbreak

Late one night in September 1998, 8 civilians head to J’s Bar in uptown Raccoon City .
Enjoying a quiet night a strange man enters, his flesh hanging off his body. Will, the bartender approaches and is suddenly bitten. The Outbreak begins…

Outbreak documents the first escape for the characters of Resident Evil Outbreak, Capcom’s first attempt at bringing Resident Evil to the online world. Players must escape the bar under-siege and try to escape as quickly as they can, fighting round the back streets of Raccoon City … Little do they know this only a beginning of a new nightmare, and this nightmare – anything goes.

Scenario 2 – Below Freezing Point

(Note: It would appear this scenario actually occurs after ‘The Hive’.)

After escaping through the sewers beneath the hospital, the Raccoon survivors come across a frozen laboratory. Untold secrets lurk below the ice and half-frozen monstrosities populate the chilled halls of this recently abandoned lab.

Below Freezing Point is the first scenario to cross over to the previous games. Most Resident Evil veterans will instantly recognize the fact that the labs in this scenario are the very same labs seen in Resident Evil Zero, and more importantly Resident Evil 2. Even better, new areas have been added showing more of the lab than we have previously seen before. Players who survive will also fight something familiar, the creature known as the G-Imago, (last seen in Resident Evil 2, first ‘boss’ of the A Scenario).

Scenario 3 – Hive

After finding help from the police, the survivors are taken to the local Raccoon Hospital . Once there they realise the hospital is nothing more than a giant hive for leeches, that can consume a living person and control them!

Hive is set within the same hospital seen within Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Though we only saw very little of the hospital as we ran through with Carlos, we now see more or less the entire building – even so much as being able to go to the roof. Indeed, the only floors we don’t access are the ones that we can enter in Resident Evil 3, and this scenario ties in fantastically with the game.

Scenario 4 – Hellfire

After running through the streets escaping the hordes of zombies, the survivors face no other choice than to enter the ‘Apple Inn’, a local hotel for tourists and visitors alike. Inside they find an inferno, and strange creatures that have razor sharp tongues…

This scenario shows the very first time we see lickers within Resident Evil Outbreak, and the ‘boss’ of the scenario is a very early Licker known as the ‘Regis Licker’, which betrays similar characteristics in appearance to Crimson Heads seen within Resident Evil: Rebirth. The scenario is very much a traditional Resident Evil setting, very slow with long winding corridors and lots and lots of rooms, oh – and the hotel is currently on fire as you explore it.

Scenario 5 – Decisions, Decisions

October 1st – Morning. The survivors seek refuge within the Raccoon Police Department garage, and George Hamilton comes across a note addressed to him, telling him to come to Raccoon University and learn the truths of the disaster which befell the city. Unaware of the disaster which is about to conclude the story of Raccoon City , George leads the survivors, to the Raccoon Univesity – where the only known cure against the T-Virus exists…

This scenario is perhaps the most Resident Evil like of them all, at the beginning it’s very much like the old days, walking around quit corridors and large expansive halls. As the action builds up in the scenario, more and more secrets are revealed. This scenario also features a cameo appearance of Nicholai Ginovaef, last seen in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. There are many homage’s to particularly the first Resident Evil game here, keep your eyes peeled to find them.

Resident Evil Outbreak Homage

Dominik Mayr — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 07:08:02 +0000

Homages to older RE games found in Outbreak:

Alyssa’s description mentions she is the Master of Unlocking!

One of the tracks of music in Below Freezing Point is lifted straight from Resident Evil 2, in the labs, it has been remixed obviously.

SP item = Used Ink Ribbon

Cindy plays the theme song from the intro on the piano in Decisions Decisions, a tribute to Jill’s pianist skills

Alyssa’s bonus costume is a direct homage to Alice’s in the Resident Evil movie

There are ‘remakes’ of specific areas from older games within this
-Below Freezing Point features area’s remade from Resident Evil 2
-Hive features remade areas from Resident Evil 3
-Decisions, Decisions breifly features the RPD garage

CAMEO Nicholai

In the starting room in HIVE, you are in a hospital bed room with a TV just buzzing static, this I believe is a homage to Survivor which features a similar buzzing television in one of its hospital rooms!

Lickers, Plague Crawlers, Hunter Gammas – all famous Resident Evil creatures return

The first ‘glimpse’ of the Licker can be considered a nod to Resident Evil 2, as it crawls by a window in a similar way.

Decisions, Decisions = The red/blue gem moose head puzzle is obviously a great homage to the original games Tiger head puzzle.

SP Item = Ben’s Date book [DESCRIPTION] Could be some News reporter’s? It’s filled with lot’s of supposed ‘scoops’.

SP Item = Chess Watch -[DESCRIPTION] Watch modeled after chess pieces. The minute hand and hour hand are designed after a Queen and Knight.

SP Item = Football Tickets [DESCRIPTION:]Two tickets to a Sharks game. Hmm… These seats aren’t half bad. Maybe I’ll take my buddy Leon.

SP Item = Silver framed photo stand [DESCRIPTION:]A photo of two people smiling at each other. Maybe they are mother and daughter? It says “Sherry and Annet.”

SP Item = Hotel register [DESCRIPTION:]It’s dated quite some time ago. One of the names reads Claire.

SP Item = Chris’s x-ray picture [DESCRIPTION:]Looks to be a patient named Chris. He has a good frame and looks quite healthy.

SP Item = Chris’s medical chart [DESCRIPTION:]Medical chart for a patient named Chris. It has a S.T.A.R.S medical check up stamp on it.

SP Item = Barry’s Bottle [DESCRIPTION:] A bottle kept by a guy called Barry. Maybe he won’t mind if I have a sip?

FILE = Guest List Copy Dario Losso is mentioned, but is obviously a misspelling of Dario Rosso – who is the person Jill talks to at the beginning of Resident Evil 3.

Resident Evil Outbreak About

Dominik Mayr — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 07:07:02 +0000

The first rumor about an RE online game came up in 2000 (!) already. At that time it was planned that RE4 is this game. It got a bit quiet about it in the next two years and then Outbreak was revealed at E³ 2002.

At that time everyone knew that RE4 will be a solo game again and Capcom decided to create an extra series, titled RE Outbreak to bring the Resident Evil online experience to the fans.

The japanese release was in December 2003. Outbreak got good marks and it did sell very well for a game which’s main purpose is the online mode.

In March 2004, the US version hit the shelves. What about the PAL/european version you ask? It’s sheduled for a September 2004 (!) release, almost one year after the original release in Japan. And thats not all… It WILL NOT come with the online mode! European players won’t be able to play the game online. Capcom already announced a second chapter of Outbreak which will come fall 2004. So when japan gets the sequel, european players just started doing Outbreak 1, but only in offline mode…

And then they wonder why it does not sell well enough in Europe…

Release Dates: December 2003 (Japan) || March 2004 (US) || September 2004 (PAL/Europe)

Resident Evil Outbreak Press Quotes

Dominik Mayr — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 07:05:45 +0000

Outbreak can be a fun experience–online and off–for diehard fans of the series, but the trite conventions and clumsy gameplay will probably turn off the average player – GameSpot

Survival horror spreads across the Internet in Capcom’s new Resident Evil Outbreak for PlayStation 2. Play either in the single-player mode, or join others online against the terrifying setting of a zombie infested Raccoon City. Choose your own path in Outbreak, as the game’s story adjusts to the player’s decisions. Escape the city quickly as a clock ticks down the seconds to the moment a government missile eradicates the infected citizens of the doomed town. Be brave and play alone, or join up to four other survivors in a horrific battle to uncover the dark secrets of Umbrella, the biological company responsible for the chaos. – IGN
