Capcom announced today that when their upcoming Resident Evil Outbreak ships to Europe in September, the game will not feature online support, a puzzling move since the US and Japanese versions are ideally meant to be played online.
"There are far more technical difficulties bringing an online game to PAL territories than to Japan or the US, the most obvious of which are the different languages and service providers found in each territory," a European Capcom representative. "This said, Capcom is working hard to overcome these difficulties and right now a number of engineers from our Japanese office are in Europe talking to various ISPs and we hope that it will only be a number of months before we have an online PS2 game up and running."
