Big Boss Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Developer: Slant Six Publisher: Capcom Genre: Third Person Shooter (Team based Coop) Release: Automn 2011 Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3 First details have emerged of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, the much rumoured franchise spin-off from SOCOM developer Slant Six. According to Official Xbox Magazine's imminent scoop, kindly summarised by StickSkills, it's a team based shooter set in the Resident Evil 2 era that sees up to four players cast in one of three factions. As a member of the Umbrella Security Services Squad you'll have to scour Raccoon City destroying evidence, head-shotting zombies and brutally sweeping T-Virus survivors under the proverbial rug. There are also two other teams to choose from, which Capcom apparently insists constitutes a "three-corner conflict". As well as the Umbrella death squad, US Special Ops are also on the scene, as are "bio-organic weapon monsters" created by Umbrella. The Umbrella team is made up of four new characters: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre, and the game will play out slightly differently depending on who you choose. Various familiar faces are due to pop up along the way, including Leon Kennedy. You'll earn XP as you progress, which allows you to earn new abilities, such as Vector's cloaking skill, and weapons. It sounds like it's set to be a more gun-ho Resi than we're accustomed to, with ammo management not playing such an important role. "It's not fair to give people big guns, then take all the ammo away," reads a quote from the OXM piece. Apparently the game is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the Autumn. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-24-resident-evil-raccoon-city-confirmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 It would be interesting to learn more about this game in the time to come, but not very hopeful considering the online only aspect and especially after having played the SOCOM 4 beta. Oops.. Looks like they are not behind the SOCOM 4 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadoken Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is collaboration between Capcom and Vancouver based studio Slant 6 Games and is scheduled for release this Winter. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil® 2 and Resident Evil® 3. It is September 1998 and the action centers once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City. Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favorite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak. http://capcom.gamespress.com/link.asp?i=245&r=132&r2=928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 PICS PICS AND PICS!!!! Capcom® a leading worldwide developer and publisher of videogames, today announced Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City, is in development for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. In addition it was also confirmed that the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS title, Resident Evil™: The Mercenaries 3D,will ship with a playable demo of Resident Evil Revelations. Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City is a collaboration between Capcom and Vancouver based studio Slant 6 Games and is scheduled for release this Winter. Since the launch of the first title 15 years ago the Resident Evil series has enjoyed phenomenal success, selling over 45 million units worldwide to date. This latest offering will take the series in a completely new direction and offer a style of gameplay yet to be seen from the franchise. Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil™ 2 and Resident Evil™ 3. The setting of the Resident Evil universe not only provides a rich backdrop to the action but delivers a unique and thrilling triple threat battle. Zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W’s) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional team based shooters. It is September 1998 and the action centres once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City. Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favourite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil™ 2 and Resident Evil™ 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak. In addition, Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City will deliver a number of competitive online multiplayer modes. Each one of these will provide a unique gaming experience thanks to the three way combat between the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Ops and threat of zombies and B.O.W’s that could only exist in the deadly and twisted Resident Evil Universe. Purchasers of Resident Evil™: The Mercenaries 3D, scheduled for release in the coming months, will get a taste of the horror to come thanks to the addition of a playable demo of Resident Evil™ Revelations. Set on board an ocean liner, the demo lets players take control of one of the full game’s characters, Jill Valentine, as she explores the ship’s dark interior, killing any mysterious creatures that emerge from the shadows. A brand new title built from the ground up for the Nintendo 3DS, further details on Resident Evil™ Revelations will be revealed at this year’s E3. Why hello thar....

Big Boss Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 More Info: -The game is third-person (not an FPS) -You can move-and-shoot -The developers have spent serious time to return the horror the franchise. This is a Third-Person shooter, but a big focus went into the monstrosities, their behavior, and monsters that just won't die (like Mr. X from RE2 [and hinted Nemesis]), monsters that lurk in the dark, build-up and suspense, and AI that was built around predator-prey ideals that react off sound, smell, and sight. A big focus of the game was to create horror, suspense, and oh **** moments, and to fear to end up alone from your team mates and monsters that pick you off one by one. -Monsters will be returning classics, so far confirmed are Zombies, Lickers, Dogs, and Hunters. -Their big sense of inspiration comes from RE2 -Various RE characters make an appearance in the game, but Leon is your main objective to eliminate. -The control scheme will be similar to many of today's TPS. -Capcom are behind different takes on the franchise as well as traditional takes, and were behind Slant Six on the process of the spin-off. -Strategy is important to the game, working as a team against forces more powerful than you, and using things to your advantage. -You can guard behind cover and another enemy force is the USS Spec Ops forces. Both forces are against the other, while the BOWs are on no one's side and can destroy or help you dependingly. -New and iconic locations will be in the game, the only confirmed iconic locations so far are the RPD Police Station and Rockfort Island. Focus has been made to be able to explore locations. -End of Demo ended with a battle of Mr. X. -The team of Umbrella agents originate from Rockfort Island, which is where their base of operations is. -You can use light and sound to distract zombies. -Environments will have destructible objects to use or move to do things such as barricade areas, smash things, and more. -Capcom remains silent over topics relating to the game’s multiplayer mode and what other surprises the game’s story may have for players. We’ll likely hear more about this game at E3 so stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 More Info - One of the main missions of the game is to “kill Leon” thus signifying the ability to change the history of Resident Evil. - You’re able to use enemies (like zombies) as cover even while moving. - Like other third-person shooters you’ll also be able to take cover behind objects like stationary vehicles. - The game will pay respects to the classic titles (Resident Evil 2 and 3) by bringing back that sense of horror that’s been missing. - The base inspiration for the foundation of the game is noted as being Resident Evil 2. - We’ll get more insight towards Mr. X before he was sent to Raccoon City to pursue Leon/ Claire. - Leon is your main prey throughout the game (in regards to the USS team) - Previous controls have been abandoned in place for a more modern control set akin to today’s third-person shooters. - Capcom is behind such a change in game-play and this is why they approached Slant Six over the development of such a project. - As aforementioned you’ll be able to grab enemies and use them as cover which will add to the game’s team-based strategic style. - We’re going to get a very dark look at the classic city in the game with new and iconic locales. - The end of the demo showed off a battle with Mr. X. - The USS team takes their inspiration largely from Mr. Death himself, the 4th survivor Hunk. The team is also situated on Rockfort Island which is another locale fans recognize. - Hunters and Lickers are confirmed and they’ll be able to also mow down zombies if they’re in the way of their destruction. - Operation Raccoon City will let players see the story of the Resident Evil universe (pre-RE4) from a whole new perspective. - Shooting lights will be one of the mechanics in the game and doing so will help you stay clear of zombies due to them being attracted to said light. - Environments will have destructible objects for you to use agains the hordes of zombies. - Capcom remains silent over topics relating to the game’s multiplayer mode and what other surprises the game’s story may have for players. We’ll likely hear more about this game at E3 so stay tuned. * The game takes place in 1998, a time where Resident Evil fans already know what's set to take place. The title lets you enjoy the series from a new perspective, as the men and women who are technically responsible for it all.* Rather than continuing the zombie slaying antics of BSAA agents, you're taken back to the original outbreak "that underscored both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis." * The game doesn't require any crazy amounts of knowledge of the past titles or characters involved in the series. The title opens up to a "quartet of new faces". Essentially, you're playing as members of the official Umbrella Security Services squad. * Operation Raccoon City is a team-based shooter allowing four members of the USS team to destroy all evidence of the ongoing outbreak. Along with slaying the zombies, you're looking to "kill pretty much every survivor possible". * The gameplay is described as "dirty", and the series will feel much darker than it has up to this point. * The game features three factions that Capcom has stated make up a "three-corner conflict". The other two factions are the US Spec Ops, who are there to repel the USS, and the "bio-organic weapon monsters (BOWs) created by Umbrella. * The USS team is made up of the following characters: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre. Depending on which character you choose, the responsibilities that you're asked to do within your team will variate. * Hunk, first seen in Resident Evil 2 as a hidden character, is the inspiration behind the USS team. * "Whichever team you play on, you'll be facing Umbrella-created horrors in between skirmishes with each other". * Zombies in the game can sense you in three different manners: sight, sound, and smell. * A situation is described in the game where Vector cloaks himself to stir up previously slumbering zombies to use against the Special Ops military foes. * Quite a few scenarios in the game aren't "all about headshots". A quote in the article states, "It's about shooting the other soldiers - manipulating the, making them bleed." * The game will take you through a number of familiar areas if you're a Resident Evil junkie who remembers your journey to Raccoon City. * Operation Raccoon City, depending on how you play the game, will give you the option to "change the history of Resident Evil". Not only will you have the chance to meet and interact with various characters from the series, but you'll even have the opportunity to kill them. * One of th mottos repeated to OXM throughout the demo was "Kill Leon". It's also stated that if you choose to represent in the game as the Special Ops team, that you'd more than likely have the goal of trying to save Leon Kennedy. * Slant Six or Capcom won't reveal if any other characters will be playable in the title just yet, but it'd make sense to see quite a few big cameos. * The title will still see players relying on collecting herbs to heal from any attacks you may suffer. You won't need to hoard any herbs, but they'll still benefit you to collect them throughout the game. * "This is not a one-versus-one game where you've got one clip full of ammo and zombies on you. If you've ever thought of those times in an RE game when you thought, 'I'd wish I had a big gun', that's what this game is. It's not fair to give people big guns, then take all the ammo away." * One of the pictures in the article showcases a zombie being used as a "meatshield". * Operation Raccoon City allows players to earn XP for kills, with these points helping you survive the onslaught, and to help to encourage you to anihilate everything in your path. * The XP will allow you to earn new abilities, such as Vector's cloaking skill, and new weapons. * Tyrants will most definitely be included in the title.

Maximus Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just a bit confused after reading the above posts, Is this a story based game that allows co-op (and if no one else is playing an AI picks up like Resident Evil 5 ) or is it a multiplayer only game with small missions that can only be played with someone either online or offline as co-op?

Nemo Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 am guessing its gonna be a multiplayer only, or at lest heavily slanted towards MP, a Left or dead kind of. Probably like the RE:outbreak series of the ps2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
