Outbreak (which is the coolest way to say "this time it's online, it breaks OUT" that I've yet heard) is no more.
The two online RE games (which are great fun by the way) are having their servers shut down at the end of the month.

The fans are unhappy... The thing is, I never finished either one, though I have friends that have both and I have to say I loved playing them those times we could actually get together online (in fact I think I prefer the online survival with friends to playing the single player games). I guess that means I have to convince them to play, find time all of us have free, and finish it by month's end.
The problems here are the same as with Substistance. REOutbreak doesn't have an option to enter a 3rd party server's IP address, nor are the games on the PC where they would be more readily hackable. Again, I'd be forced to buy a mod chip and solder it into my system to even have a chance of maybe someone hacking in custom online play and then someone hosting a server.
The only hope here is that Sony will take it upon itself to host the servers for these games that are dropping like flies, but that's a pretty distant hope.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
