Will the new Resident Evil game include a Mercenaries mode?

Hello fellow gamers! It's time for some exciting discussions about the latest news and updates in the gaming world. Today, we'll be talking about the highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem and its possible addition of the popular mode, Mercenaries.

But before we dive into that, let's take a look at what our readers have to say about other upcoming games. On our Thursday letters page, one reader is eagerly waiting for a 3D remake of Pokémon Red and Blue, while another is excited for the release of Crimson Desert. And in our Games Inbox section, we have a collection of our readers' thoughts and opinions.

We always love hearing from our readers, so don't hesitate to join in on the discussions by emailing us at email. Now, let's talk about Mercenaries. Many of us are wondering why there hasn't been any news about this popular mode from Capcom yet.

Some speculate that they may be waiting to announce it closer to the game's launch to avoid discouraging people from buying the game. However, personally, I would feel more confident about purchasing the game if they did confirm its inclusion. But let's not dwell on that for now, because I'm happy to see that Resident Evil Requiem is doing so well.

I'm definitely planning to get it at some point this year. And the news of a Resident Evil 1 remake has me even more excited, as it was always bound to happen. But what comes next for Capcom after that?

It's clear that they like to release a new Resident Evil game every year or two, so what will fill the gap left by the remakes? Some possibilities could be remaking obscure games like the Game Boy game or Outbreak, or creating a new sub-series. Personally, I would've loved to see a continuation of the Revelations series, with its focus on co-op gameplay.

However, it seems like the sales may not have been strong enough for Capcom to pursue that. Speaking of new games, have you ever wondered what the main characters of S.T.A.R.S. were doing before the zombie outbreak?

One reader suggests exploring their past in a series of prequels. After all, why did a city police force have such highly trained special forces soldiers? Were they just giving out parking tickets before the events of Resident Evil 1?

It's definitely an interesting concept to consider. Moving on to other topics, let's talk about the recent news of Highguard's demise. While some may be cheering its failure, one reader who actually played the game thought it was good, with some great ideas.

They believe that its generic appearance may have been the cause of its downfall, rather than any other factor. And the backlash from The Game Awards mic drop may have been more of a vocal minority, rather than a significant influence on the game's performance. Next up, we have a reader who has some concerns about Sony's decision to release single-player games on PC.

They believe that exclusives are what sell consoles, and it's why Nintendo and PlayStation have been successful while Xbox struggles. However, they are glad to see Sony admitting their mistake and making a U-turn. It's interesting to think about what other changes they may have in store for us.

One potential change could be a shift towards creating more first-party games, rather than outsourcing to lesser-known developers. And speaking of which, the recent news of Bluepoint Games being shut down has left many scratching their heads, especially considering the recent U-turn on releasing games on PC. It's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about remakes. Some readers have no issue with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen being re-released on the Switch, but they wonder when Nintendo will finally remake one of the older games in 3D. The reader speculates that the delay may be due to the previous games' bad graphics and bugs.

However, they believe that a remake could be successful, just like the remakes of Resident Evil. Finally, we have a reader who has some regrets about purchasing a PlayStation 5. While the console does offer some great games, many of the best ones are also available on the PlayStation 4.

So, if you've already played games like God Of War, The Last Of Us, and Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 4, it may not be worth the investment. They also bring up the difference in game prices between the two consoles, with PlayStation offering a vast library of games for a monthly subscription, while Nintendo games can cost up to £60 each. However, they do have some disappointment with the Switch so far, particularly with games like Donkey Kong Bananza, which had frequent frame rate and camera issues.

It's definitely something to consider before making a purchase. Well, that's all for today, folks! We hope you enjoyed these discussions and don't forget to sign up for our newsletter for more exclusive gaming analysis and reviews.

Some are wondering if Capcom will add the popular game mode, Mercenaries, later on. It's been a hot topic on the Thursday letters page, where readers are also discussing the possibility of remaking Pokémon Red and Blue in 3D. One reader even expressed their excitement for the upcoming game, Crimson Desert.

On the other hand, the Games Inbox section is filled with our readers' thoughts, comments, and opinions. If you want to join in on the discussions, you can always send us an email at the provided address. Speaking of Mercenaries, I can't help but wonder why Capcom hasn't mentioned anything about it yet.

Personally, I think it would give people more confidence in purchasing the game if they did announce it. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see that Resident Evil Requiem is doing well and I'm definitely planning on getting it sometime this year. And with a remake of Resident Evil 1 in the works, it's no surprise that fans are already looking forward to what Capcom has in store for us next.

But have you ever thought about what comes after all these remakes? Sure, they can always remake Resident Evil 5 and 6, but that can only last for so long. It's clear that Capcom likes to release a new Resident Evil game every year or two, so what will fill the gap once they run out of remakes to make?

In my opinion, there are two obvious options: either they remake obscure games like the Game Boy version or Outbreak, or they create a new sub-series. Personally, I would have loved to see a continuation of the Revelations series, as I enjoyed the focus on co-op gameplay. However, it seems like the sales weren't as high as expected.

But who knows, maybe there are other plans in the works. Moving on to other gaming news, have you played Highguard? It seems like a lot of people are celebrating its demise, but I have to ask: have they even played the game?

I personally enjoyed it and found it to be a good game with some unique ideas. I believe its failure can be attributed to its generic appearance and sound. And those who were upset about it being the big reveal at The Game Awards are just a vocal minority.

It just takes a bit of time and effort to get to know and appreciate a game nowadays. But let's not dwell on the negative. I completely support Sony's decision not to release single-player games on PC.

I don't know why they even considered it in the first place. Exclusives are what sell consoles, and that's why Nintendo is still going strong. It's also why Xbox barely manages to stay afloat, and it's definitely why the PlayStation 4 was a huge success.

I was pleasantly surprised when Sony announced their change of heart, but it also makes me wonder what else they might be reconsidering. It's clear that they took note of Highguard's failure, but what about the lukewarm response to God of War: Sons of Sparta? Maybe they'll focus more on their first-party games and less on outsourcing to smaller developers.

Only time will tell. And finally, can we talk about the lack of effort from publishers when it comes to announcing new games? Between Sony casually tweeting out Wolverine's release date and that confusing Assassin's Creed blog, it feels like they're not even trying anymore.

We've been hearing rumors about a Black Flag remake for years, and all we get is a single blurry picture? Come on, publishers, put some effort into it! It's not too much to ask for a proper announcement, is it?

Oh, and speaking of remakes, I have no problem with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen being re-released on the Switch. But let's be real, we all know that at some point, Nintendo will remake one of the older games in 3D. It's bound to happen, especially since the remakes of Resident Evil have been such a success.

And for those thinking of buying a PlayStation 5, it really depends on your gaming preferences. If you've already played the best games on the PlayStation 4, then I can see why you might hesitate to purchase the new console. But keep in mind that Resident Evil Requiem will run better on the PlayStation 5 than on the Switch 2.

And let's not forget about the price difference and game prices. With a monthly subscription, you'll have access to a huge library of games on PlayStation, whereas on Nintendo, you'll be paying full price for each new game release. Personally, I've been disappointed with my Switch 2 so far, and I can't recommend it at its current price.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed revisiting Zelda, but I don't think it was worth the $500+ I've spent on it.
