Resident Evil 5 and the Resident Evil Outbreak games were fun co-op games, but yeah I can't think of other fun multiplayer games that have come from there, and Capcom has a long list of failed Resident Evil multiplayer games as well.

Somewhere I read that matchmaking passwords are still a thing.

So now I'm not sure if that means you're forced to find a third person to give the password to, or if it will just scrub for people with that first, then move on to anyone.

I bought a ps2 modem just to play the first Outbreak. It was really fun but I wish they would bring it back with modern features like voice chat. You had to use from a list of pre-made audio phrases you could make your character say to try to communicate

I remember it being kind of finicky trying to get co-op going in RE5 even.

I agree. I would've like a voice chat as well, and a modern update would be nice.

Luckily for me, I had a brother and half sister to play couch co-op with. I think that's the best to play RE5 co-op is with someone you know on a big TV. Then you can take your time with the game, and discuss with your partner strategies, which items to buy, which weapons to get and upgrade, and such.

I'm surprised they haven't done anything with it. Capcom keeps trying to do multiplayer RE games. An Outbreak remake/sequel with the RE2 remake mechanics would probably do pretty well.

You're right. I forgot about all the Mario party and Mario sports games I grew up playing with family. Though I stopped buying Nintendo games after the Wii, so I don't know much of the Nintendo multiplayer scene for the last 15+ years.

You would think they'd learn by now that that type of competitive multiplayer Resident Evil games they've been pushing for over the last decade is not what fans want. It's like they think they're going strike gold someday with a hit pvp multiplayer game. Just give us more of what Outbreak offered, or stick to single player only games.

Phantasy star online and it's expansions version 2, episode 1 and 2, and then blue burst is the best online play experience I ever had and that badboy was a 2001 to 2004 series, kicking ass while console online gaming was still in it's earlier years. (The phantasy star universe game was also not too bad...it just took until it had it's expansion and then the actual improvement on the gameplay with the psp games for it to take off. Don't really have a comment on phantasy star online 2 though, lol). The online play capable monster hunter games are also hours of fun. Like 2,000+ hours into monster hunter world/iceborne and I am gearing up to do it again in monster hunter wilds. Had your pass stuff like freedom wars (which is getting a port from vita jail), ragnarok odyssey ace was cool, dragon's crown, streets of rage 4seses, nioh 1 and 2 (who's co-op is a way smoother process compared to from software's games), you got your river city girls. MMO-wise final fantasy 14 is still going strong. Etc. etc.

To be honest It'd argue that japan tends to have the most fun online games....they just don't come along as often.

I likely missed out on quite a few Japanese multiplayer games, as I don't recognize most of those games listed. I'm interested to check out Phantasy Star Online sometime in the future.

Whenever you do get around to playing it sega does not care that people are downloading phantasy star online blue burst and playing on private servers. Ephinea is the go-to private server for this game. Just google ephinea and it'll be the first link to download the game with the server already setup.

*You can play the game by yourself no problem, but if you ever wanted to see what the online play is about then this server is the most populated private server.*

I agree, I got to do that once upon a time and it was great. Recently tried playing the Steam version with my cousin and it kept messing up on us, sadly.

It's more about how difficult it is to actually connect than it is about how fun they are. I'm guessing Nightreign will be fun, too.

Can't do that. Fromsoft learned from their past mistakes of Bloodborne and Dark Souls matchmaking and have developed a way to reverse engineer it. Now it's easy to join but impossible to leave.
