I lost track of the RE games at some point but I must admit the RE Online is looking like it could be pretty neat. Although I'm still not sure how a multi player RE would come off it sounds like a great idea and sort of puts me in mind of the plans for RE 1.5 that never fully came together. My biggest question, however, concerns some of the playable characters. Does Capcom honestly think anyone isn't going to think this guy is a dead ringer for Tom Cruise? Some of the others are a bit questionable as well. While this probably won't turn into a Space Channel 5 vs Dee Lite sort of thing [I doubt Tom Cruise needs the money] it's interesting to see the practice of modeling videogame characters after real life people or other uncredited sources still hasn't gone out of style.

Wow, I thought it was just gonna be similar to Tom Cruise, not look that close to being exactly like him.

those would be my thoughts as well.

It's almost comical in the fact it's so unashamedly him. Capcom seems to be doing the characters based on actors alot lately, in fact I bet if they still made Marvel Fighting games we'd be seeing Ben Affleck kick the crap out of Halley Berry right about now.

But they probably asked as they did with the Onimusha stars.... but he still could sue, for all we know the character could be a flaming homosexual (that's why he sues the tabloids)

I saw a trailer thing for RE Online and looks REALLY cool (and fun, of course), but it's a shame it's online only. I have no plans whatsoever of going online with my PS2 (partially for cost reasons... at least XBox has a flat fee or whatever instead of letting anyone charge extra to use their servers). If I go online with any of my consoles, it will be with my XBox. I'd still like to try RE Online, though.......

Whee! Summertime!

Actually I've heard that they just accounced it's not online only anymore. I can't find the article, so I'm not 100% sure on this though.

As much as I'd love to use Xbox live, two things are keeping me. I don't have broadband, and I REALLY don't want to use voice communication. How will I be able to pose as a chick in True Fantasy Online and scam horny nerds out of their money?

Oooh! Really? That's good, then. I would still expect the major meat of the game to be online, but I'd still hope for an off-line story mode.

Heh heh. I like the idea of the little headset... I wanna get on there and pitch my voice down to a super-evil level and go play games. Too much fun!

Capcom has been modeling Biohazard character after reall actors for a while now. Like Steve looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, Marvin from the second one (the dead cop) looks like WIll Smith, etc. Maybe it's just coincidences, I don't know.
