Resident Evil games for iPhone now require a condition you won’t like
Capcom has rolled out a new patch to its Resident Evil games that includes an unexpected change: mandatory internet connection
AAA games experienced problems in Apple environment. Since the most promising launches were announced, the truth is that they were not as popular as one might think. It’s hard to achieve a goal when other competitors, like console games, have been around for years. Now something has been added that may create limitations for users who are comfortable playing Resident Evil when they leave the house. The new patch that Capcom released on August 27th shows that games will require an internet connection to be playable.
In addition to the minimum iOS and chip requirements, an internet connection is also added
Capcom justifies this change by stating that: This is due to the game’s startup process. now requires an internet connection. From here, The next time you launch Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil Village on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, you’ll need to be connected to the internet.
The most interesting thing is that they do not really need an internet connection. At launch this wasn’t a key requirement and didn’t apply to consoles either.. Social networks are already seeing the first negative effects of this news, with some players reporting that they can no longer play these games in places where it is sometimes normal to do so (for example, on airplanes or on a trip away from traditional broadcasting).
