Who at Capcom keeps thinking this is a good idea? Resistance was a flop, Umbrella Corp. should have never even been released, Operation Raccoon City certainly wasn't beloved, and I doubt many people even remember 5 and 6 even had pvp multiplayer. It's especially frustrating because there is good multiplayer Resident Evil like Revelations 2, and the Outbreak games would probably thrive way more now if they got re-released since online play is the standard now.
Normally I would just completely ignore a multiplayer mode like this, but it being attached to RE8 reminds me of how Resistence is packaged together with the RE3 remake, and how that was essentially to make up for RE3 remake's lack of content(outside the harder difficulties and a couple of unlockable weapons and 3 costumes, there is no Mercs mode despite original RE3 being the first game in the series to introduce it). Granted 7 didn't have that much extra in the base game either, but it at least had some pretty good DLC support, both free and paid, so hopefully they go that route...
