Last week, when Konami decided to
pull the plug on their servers that backed
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence's online play, the community was up in arms. You see, that's a game that people still actually play; it
was released only one year ago.
On the other hand, when
Capcom announces they're going to shut down the
Resident Evil Outbreak: File 1 and
2 servers, it's kind of hard to believe that anyone would care.
Capcom regretfully announces that the server for our Playstation 2 online game Resident Evil Outbreak: File#2 will be closing at the end of March 2007.
Since Resident Evil Outbreak File#2 was released in August 2005 , Capcom has provided a server enabling consumers to experience the online element of this game free of charge.
Regretfully, conditions now dictate that we must close down this server effective from March 31, 2007. Naturally it will still be possible to play the game offline, but the online component will no longer be available.
Following the forum announcement, a five page thread erupted, with pages four and five going to s**t ... quite literally. For the love of God, don't click on page four, as it's not safe for work. Or home, for that matter.

and i am still pissed about MGS3 because i DO play that game and i think it was one of my favorite online experiences. MGS4 cant come soon enough.
DO NOT CLICK ON THE 4th or 5th page!
it screws up your stuff...trust Destructoid
P.S. You owe me a picture of some tits.
It redirects you to this sick page that refreshes with different photos, be they a gay orgy of 3 granpas, a penis split down the middle or a severed foot... its really not worth it, take my word on that.
Born and raised on Faces of Death... this is childs play.
+1
I would have usally done that. But the random spinning and music telling people that im looking at porn and they should come look that was coming out of my speakers, I didn't ten to really sit down and think smartly on how to close it.
It still has me annoyed. Damn my curiosity.
WHY DID I DO THAT WHYYYY
wow, really? i am really glad i had my speakers off when i clicked it.
what was that site? fuckcapcom.com?
yeah it was fuckcapcom.on.nimp.org
I found it in my history on firefox.
Don't go there, ever.
I think thats been made clear by now. And I do agree that the article should be editing to include that this isnt the good kind of NSFW. And to strongly urge us to leave our add at home and not click.
Your link leads to an invalid wiki page. I had to do the recomend search to find the correct page on shocking sites.
That is all.
so, meh
I don't understand how people can play that pile of shit
not only did the game suck but it's inhabitants were inbreds
GIMMIE THE KEY! COME BACK! GIMMIE THE KEY! I NEED IT FUCKER
HIT THE SWITCH IN UNISON WITH ME! C'MERE! DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR YET DON'T OP- WHAT THE FUCK YOU STUPID ASS
DUDE THROUGH THAT DOOR IS THE LAST BOSS. AND I NEED SOME AMMO. I DONT EXPECT YOU TO GIVE ME THAST ROCKET LAUNCHER SO HAND OVER YOUR SHOTGUN SHELLS. WHAT THE FUCK I NEED BULLETS NO NO WAIT! SHIT! HERE IT COMES SHOOT IT SHOOT IT! GET IT OFF ME! SHOOT IT. 9MM? WHERES YOUR ROCKET LAUNCHER? HOLY FUCK 5 HOURS OF MY LIFE GONE BECAUSE YOU DIDINT KNOW WHERE TO GET THE ROCKET LANCHER FROM!
Someone needs to invent a computer program that emulates an official server, and lets people connect to each other. Kind of like that warp pipe app for the gamecube.
I too demand a good answer. If you didn't know the link would be able to crash computers, I'll forgive you. Otherwise, why didn't you tell us?
Anyhow, the news here wasn't page four. Someone would have clicked through the thread anyhow and then would have been mad at me for not warning them. I did warn you guys, and some people are still upset. Come on, guys, I didn't even make any Mexican jokes! :D
Also, RE: O always seemed like a lost opportunity to me. The concept is great, but the execution was poor. The method of online communication was wretched. I hope Left 4 Dead fills my co-op zombie killing hole. That sounds naughty.
As for the game, well, gotta go gotta go. They may as well take their copies of Outbreak and trade them in to Gamestop before they are completely useless.
