First of all, you make some pretty large predictions lazy. Some of them seem logical, but others seem based purely on hopeful speculation (namely the online aspect).
GR, you say the news at that site is not accurate. I will be the first to admit I have never heard of that web site before, so I have no idea how trustworthy they are. That said, I suppose I don't have much reason to believe it. Still, if you have further evidence why it should be ignored, tell us. Link us please.
Resident Evil Outbreak (files 1 and 2) are very fun games. It's like 4 swords only all the players can just take off on their own across the levels. As I happen to actually own the hard disk drive, load times aren't an issue, but finding other players USING the HD is. Fortunatly, I almost exclusively play with my friends online, who also have the hard drive, so it's not a big problem.
I have to say that the fear of struggling along near the end of those levels is tense. Sure you have an ally, but you are never quite sure how infected they are near the end, and they could "turn" at any time. The communication is purposefully limited to basic verbs which get the job done just fine. File 2 added a few new statements at that. It must be said, running away from a leech-man and suddenly hearing the screams of some poor ally on the floor below you as they struggle against some zombies is something that's hard to forget. "Help! Somebody!" In fact, I believe Sea Lab parodied that with their own zombie episode where Quinn was calling for help fighting those guys with a shotgun using the SAME lines used in Outbreak when a character calls for help. "Somebody! Please!"

"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)
