Capcom shutting down Resident Evil Outbreak servers photo

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.

Ah damn that ticked me off. When someone tells me to not do something I have to do it like a stupid kid, at least I can't blame this on anyone but me. But seriously, don't click on page 4. I want to kill the coder who did that. It took me 3 min. of blind clicking to get my web browers to close the page and stop spinning around my desktop like it was possessed.

Not cool D'Toid. Of course, I'm going to click on page 4. NSFW means pictures of tits and, on occasion, dicks, but not things that crash browser.

P.S. You owe me a picture of some tits.

wow I dont get it did they hack page 4... thats some sick shit their posting up there... really guys, dont click its not worth it..

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.

Yeah... page 4 is... appalling? And telling us not to click it... well... it might as well be a flashing fire alarm saying "pull in case of emergency"... your gonna pull it... if you do, make sure you got your sh*t locked down like fort knox

if you click on page 4 then hold CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to "Processes". just click on Firefox.exe, IExplorer.exe, Netscape.exe, etc and click "End Process". itll take care of all of it at once. no blind clicking necessary.

@MusashiX2

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.

Yeah... maybe you should say that page 4 isn't very good at the BEGINNING of the story... hell, you should put it in the title.

@908peruvian

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.

I'm still irritated that Konami will be taking down the MGS3 servers before I get a chance to play the game. I'm hoping that some of those hardcore fans of these games will set-up private servers of their own for those who want to keep playing.

Bah, it's been removed. Here's a different one that's a unserious take and NSFW.

Sadly I entered the 4th page because you told me not to. I should have listened. It didn't crash my computer like other who were probably using IE but I saw something I would prefer to never see again.

I was actually thinking of buying this game and playing online. Oh well.
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.

This is why games should allow unofficial servers*via the settings screen or something) if they're gonna offer a centralized server based free multiplay.

This makes me love my mac even more. Upon clicking on the forsaken link, I had multiple pages loading about five per second and a loud screeching noise. Headphones were plugged into my computer and it was loud enough to clearly hear the screech without them on. All I had to do was hold the apple key and press "Q". Doing that ends programms immediately. None of that "CTRL + ALT + Delete" crap.

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?

And this is why online games (specifically online centric ones like MMORPGs) don't interest me. There should be at least a solid offline mode. Online features should be a bonus, a must bonus but a bonus all the same.

The link didn't crash my computer -- I was able to quit the program after witnessing the horrors. I also use Firefox.

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.

Firefox + Flashblock FTW. No annoying retarded windows popping up.

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.
