First Details on Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Unveiled - StickSkills.com - Where the Gamers Go!

Hitting this Winter, gamers will be able to get their hands on Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Our friends over at the Official Xbox Magazine have the official cover story this month, and while we'll list a few details, you'll have to pick up their May issue to find out everything!

* 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.

There's a ton of details listed above, but there's even more listed in the May 2011 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. Don't forget to be on the lookout for the issue to hit store shelves to get even more details on Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City!

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

This sounds like it could turn out alright. Also looks like there'll be some scare factor unlike 5. Might be a good idea to merge this with the RE4+Code Veronica collection thread as the official Resident Evil thread.

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

Sounds like mercenaries/versus fused with re2 and re3...I like it

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

So we are getting this. The 3DS title, and the RE4 and Code Veronica remakes? Oh man boy do I love capcom.

Have a feeling that if this game succeeds it's going to be more for the online play than the actual story.

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

wow capcom should just stick with RE, and Megaman for a while. Sorry but those are the two games that I love from Capcom

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

Sounds freaking awesome!!! And having the chance to kill RE characters sound pretty interesting although I doubt I'll be able to bring myself to kill Leon.

Re: Rumor: New Resident Evil (Operation Raccoon City)

This sounds so cool. Ugh, to kill Leon or to not kill Leon...

oh foolish me how could I have made such a simple mistake

 

[Pinwheel]

I might've enjoyed the trailer more if they'd stop flashing the fucking title every 2 seconds.
also the new screenshots show that you can indeed use dead people as meatshields.

 

[Hamster Lord]

I love you Capcom.

[Pinwheel]

i'm like 95% sure that's the pc version with a few mods.

 

[Hamster Lord]

Oh it was? I didn't watch it yet.

 

[Shadow_]

it looks HD, so wait is this true or fake? Because I only played RE5, and would like to replay these games, but cant because I don't have a PS2 anymore.

 

[gamez4you]

One of my most memorable "first timer" games...I enjoyed that game SO MUCH !!!

 

[bloodss]

Wait was this all fake or not?.
