With Capcom recently announcing the inclusion of Resident Evil Resistance in the Resident Evil 3 base game, asymmetrical online multiplayer games may finally be stepping out from their tightly nit communities in the fringes and heading into mainstream gaming. Asymmetrical multiplayer games have grown more prominent in recent years, but their development still comprises mostly small studio developers with limited budgets and are rarely the cost of a full featured $60 multiplayer title such as Battlefield or Overwat
Unfortunately, as unique as it was among the mainstream gaming world, Evolve was plagued by criticism among many fans for being too limited in content and small in scope to justify its $60 price tag. Although Evolve sold over 2.5 million copies by May, 2015, it never established a sustainable foothold nor a lasting community, and the overall genre of asymmetric multiplayer games regressed back into the shadows of the gaming frin

The Demogorgon is allowed 6 portals to be in the arena at a time. This allows the killer a wide variety of options to dominate the map space and to lock down certain key areas of the map. The portals are invisible to survivors until they have been "activated" which then allows survivors the chance to destroy the portals. To activate a portal a Demogorgon simply has to travel to that portal from another portal, this activates both of the portals used to travel. Once activated the tunnels become visible to the survivors and can be destroyed. However, once activated the Demogorgon has the ability to see a survivor's aura once they are close to an activated portal. This provides the creature with some powerful recon abilities in a ma
Capcom made a wise decision including Resident Evil Resistance within the Resident Evil 3 base package. In doing so, they may succeed in fulfilling Evolve's original aim by establishing a strong online community among mainstream gamers invested in an asymmetrical multiplayer game, which has not been fully realized in the gaming industry at this point in time.
