Resident Evil Raccoon City Scans Leaked

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.Ws) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element,...

[Wizziokid]

invisblity? is this RE?

[CrazyForGames]

excuse me sir but you got your $hit in my resident evil...

[EYEamNUMBER1]

as soon as i saw that guy covering behind the car i stopped caring INSTANTLY i don't have any kind of hope for this game whatsoever

since all i keep seeing and hearing is resident socom

i was really REALLY hoping for outbreak 3

[sobekflakmonkey]

@EYEamNUMBER1 I know what you mean, its a little disappointing, cause I was hoping for a new RE: Outbreak too, but hey, you gotta make due, and I think we should all try to remember that these are just scans, and the game actually looks decent, graphically that is, and hey, Leon is in it....and he doesnt look any different, so I say lets wait and not lose our shit, this could actually turn out to be decent.

[TheLastGuardian]

Wait, what? Whoa...aren't they the devs that made Socom Confrontation, the worst game in the series? That's all I know about Slant Six so that has me worried. I'm definitely interested in a new RE but I hope Slant don't fuck it up like they did Socom.

[n4gisatroll]

@ guardian

From my experience in the beta, s4 is the worst. And confrontation started the worst but now is much better then 3, 4, and combined assault.

[saf100792]

Anyone who thinks confrontation is good is off their rocker. that game still sucks. S4 is the most different but the game is great. and yea this just looks like a mess. What happened to the real resident evil?

[Soldierone]

Yeah I said that when Slant Six was first announced to be making it...yet I got flamed and no one wanted to see that.

Confrontation looked pretty too, but played like Arse. Stick to PSP titles Slant Six....

[antz1104]

Seriously, what does anyone expect after the horrible c#ck-up that was RE5? A franchise change was the next logical step. If anything I have hope.

[chidori666]

this game will fail.

mark my words...

[Istanbull]

Capcom fails again, they aren ow even worse then SquareEnix.

You f*cked up RE5 with your co-op shit, how the hell do you manage to fail even harder with the next RE is beyond me.

[macky301]

I don't know bro,.. who they said was working on this,.. ?
It may fail to fans ,.. It will still sell a metric shit ton of copies,.. because it is Resi,.. And as much as I think Resi5 went way off ,.. I still platinumed that game,.. and probably replayed it 20+ times,.. At least this one is dark :)

[the_best_player]

I beat it will not be scary at all like Res 5

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Yeah, Resident Evil is not going to be like in the old days again and it's a shame, but I have to give it to Capcom, I enjoyed RE5... More so than 4. RE5 was great fun with a friend on local coop and I too finished it multiple times.

I don't like the OTS view but on character 3rd person was an evolution from the fixed scenario camera.

I believe they could easily fix RE franchise with what they have now. Get a better writer and art director. They can set a really darker tone, bring zombies back to a real bite infection plot, loose some allies to the zombie side in the way (the current infection by collective inteligent parasites is cheap and retarded), but keep B.O.W. development stuff to justify monsters and as references to Umbrella.

On the gameplay side just get a better central camera, faster gameplay (not really get rid of the stop-to-shoot, it has been like that ever, but make it more fluid, specially the stabbing), design the game so you navigate through many areas back and forth (specially for puzzles, and add more of those) instead of separated stages and, the top priority, better zombie AI and animations, enough with the one attacker at a time.

I think you can have a partner on the zombie holocaust, but it does take away the lone survivor feel, so they should make coop separated. If they don't, make the AI partner less acurate, giving Sheeva a good weapon was almost a cheater way to beat harder modes.

[miyamoto]

DmC Remake = Ninja Theory + RE Racoon City = Slant Six - Shinji Mikami - Hideki Kamiya + CRAPCOM's western pretentions business BS = EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

mark my words too

[sikbeta]

Being honest, I prefer a new RE:Outbreak over this one...

[sobekflakmonkey]

Wouldnt any RE fan though? but thats not the case, so be a true RE fan and just wait, nobody knows anything about this game yet, all we saw were some scans, its not time to go banana sandwich yet...

[princejb134]

ehh ill wait a few months after release to do look at the user reviews
rs5 was just to dissapointing for me

[showtimefolks]

re games did you ever wonder what if i had a lot of ammo and boom let's hire slant six they can do that

a real RE game came out earlier it was called dead space 2

and RE4 in HD will do it for me

[saf100792]

Wrong place

[darkziosj]

@the_best_player resident evil stoped to being "scary" since re 4, and became a mindless shooter

[erathaol]

He's using a zombie as cover...

He's using a ZOMBIE as cover.

HE IS USING A ZOMBIE AS COVER FOR F--- SAKE!!!

This game is a sadness.

[RedPawn]

WTH happened to Barry Burton?

[Wizziokid]

invisibility? is this RE?

I'm happy to see the original zombies back but I don't know how to feel about the story etc

totally on the fence with this one at the moment.

[Cloudberry]

.
http://ultimate-re.com/imag...

I don't know French, but the article's read that Vector's somewhat like "a modern Ninja"...

But how's this stealth technology would be fit in Resident Evil universe?

This game supposedly in Resident Evil 2 time-line right?

But not even Wesker in RE5 have / use this ability...

[Lamarthedancer]

"But not even Wesker in RE5 have / use this ability"

If he did, he would probably still be alive right now :)

[raiden-49]

Maybe its a prototype from Raccoons umbrella lab that get destroyed in the strike?

[Pozzle]

I hate how crazy the viruses in RE seem to be getting.

I understad the zombies, tyrants, lickers, etc. because they make sense. They're the result of failed experiments.

And I'll even give superhuman!Wesker a pass, because hey, Umbrella were bound to get at least one virus right.

But invisibility? WTF?

[Sheikah]

Recent RE titles have lacked the suspense of the prior installments. The return to Racoon seemed like a step in the right directioin - but if you're combining Racoon city with the 'fast paced action' of RE5, you'll be murdering a classical element rather than improving the shite that is RE5 :(.

Survival horror > action in this case.

[Cloudberry]

.
Hopefully the game too.

[Oldman100]

Not digging the low zombie count in those scans, reminds me of dead rising wii.

[jannytime]

Release date?

[Kingdom Come]

This Winter.

[fossilfern]

Im assuming this uses the MT framework engine ?

[raiden-49]

yea most of Capcoms new stuff uses it

[Breadisgood]

I dunno, the graphics in these screens look a bit shaky imo. I hope they do use the MT Framework because it's badass.

[Lamarthedancer]

I could understand if they give a game to a good developer but it's Slant Six and it's based around Multiplayer.

I swear to god if RE6 has more co-op/Multiplayer even though this is coming out, I'll be a little pissed since this game is based around it.

[sobekflakmonkey]

RE: Outbreak was based around multi-player, and those games were amazing, so dont judge just yet

[Lamarthedancer]

If Outbreak was amazing and Im not saying it isn't why didn't Capcom not tell Slant Six to make another Outbreak game...

Juding by your other two comments above I can really see you have a lil bit of faith in this game but many of us do it.

[smashman98]

OMG... ZOMBIES.... YOU SOOOOOOOOO CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY

[Kingdom Come]

Will you stop with the "You so Crazy" Comments please...?

[smashman98]

Kingdom Come... You so CRAAAAAAZY

[TrevorPhillips]

I've got high hopes for this, since I'm a huge RE fanatic. I'm sure most of you guys are too.

"Captivate" will start in a few days, most likely they will show some announcements and footages there.

[NobleRed]

Hope this game will not suck as hard as Socom Confrontation.

[TrevorPhillips]

Guys! is it just me or are the images taking long to load up?

[Der_Kommandant]

Did i read SLANT 6?

God Help us

[rickhunter89]

is that leon kennedy on those scans???? will he be a playable character?? if so hell yeah hes the best !!!!!!!

[taokaka13]

Sooooo....anyone speak this language, that ones to give us all the nice juicy bits? And about how diffrent the game looks to all the other resident evil games....about time. This is maybe one of the few series that really, really, really needed a damn reboot to clean up its own mess of a story, gameplay, and characters. I mean, look at resident evil 5, there going very far away from the what the series was, mine as well kill it and restart now

[sam2236]

Stealth camo in a city filled with zombies? What a load of bollocks.

[kookie]

Bullshiat i may say

[rickhunter89]

THE REAL QUESTION IS WILL THERE BE PERKS AND KILLSTREAKS????

[sam2236]

Of course there will. This is RE for casuals, FFS!

[rickhunter89]

i wonder if you set turrets???? or UIV

[saf100792]

idk they might be but u already know the 25 zombie kill nuke is in there

[rickhunter89]

the nuke lol that is inevitable

[phntom]

As soon as I saw the USS Soldier turning invisible I thought myself: "That's enough Crapcom, I give up on RE".

[phntom]

I'm talking seriously here, first Capcom came with that new bullshit they call "Devil May Cry", now this? Are you fucking serious?

[lee_ten]

it looks interesting.

[Sidewinder-]

What a piece of ...just omg.

Only redeeming quality is Leon. Why the hell would i wanna play as Umbrella anyway? Theyre EVIL! Plus the whole idea of an Umbrella cover up squad reminds me of that god-awfull film.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?!

[kookie]

MONEY

[John Kratos]

Come on Capcom you need to catch lightning in a bottle like you did with RE4, and this game isn't helping you do that.

[sickbird]

I was excited until i saw slant sucks.

[TronEOL]

I still have hope for this game. It looks as if you play as some of the enemies that were in Resident Evil: Survivor. Except they're less agile and move more realistically.. as far as I know from images anyhow. I just hope these characters don't have Anime characteristics and seem more like soldiers instead.

As for wanting it to be a Survival Horror game? I'm all for it, and I hope there is a mode that limits your ammo, but RE stopped being Survival Horror when it hit RE3. So I don't see why everyone is so surprised by this spin off. Outbreak was the last Suvival Horror RE after that and NOBODY bought it.

So you're only getting what you buy and I'm sure CAPCOM doesn't care for the 100 people who want another Outbreak (including myself) since they'd make no money, again.

So just keep an open mind since you'll still be exploring Raccoon City as Umbrella soldiers. It'll be a nice spin on the original take.

[djslapdash]

If Shinji Mikami is not in the credits then this is not a true RE game. Imitation IMO.

[Leonesaurus]

Shinji Mikami hasn't been credited since RE4. So in a sense of your word, RE hasn't been true since he left, which I can agree with in a sense.

But the game sounds decent in some aspects but what's got me annoyed is the character desgins for the 4 main characters. The U.S.S.. DO NOT look like that. They all have gas masks, but they do not look like they were ripped right out of the Fantastic Four with their own look and abilities.

All U.S.S. members look like HUNK, except they all die and he remains the only survivor. To stay true to the series you have to get the look and feel right. And so far, the look is not right. Cloaked characters? This is 1998 Raccoon City... Jesus Christ, the Nemesis and Mr. X didn't even have that.

[sasuke99]

WTF is this for God's sake!!

[pcz]

resident evil is finished

[pecorre]

Wow, that's how you kill a franchise...

[Der_Kommandant]

Capcom at it's best

[thrashermario]

il give it a chance il get it used

[kookie]

Let see, if this is bullshiat or 3rd person cod.

[Vgameman]

This isn't even RE6. It's a side game. Stop acting like this is the direction that Capcom's going to be taking the series, because I highly doubt that it is.

Why not just enjoy it for what it is and have fun with it?

Seriously, everyone complains about there not being anymore zombies (myself included), and once Capcom announces an RE game with zombies STILL everyone complains. Personally, I think it's awesome that we're getting to go back to the Raccoon City incident.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Wow, I see a lot of people freaking out over a few early scanned in shots. This may look different to past Resident Evils, but Resident Evil 4, one of the finest action-adventure games in history, was very different compared to what had come before. It seems the majority of users complaining on here want a return to the pre-RE4 games, with sluggish gameplay and poorly implemented controls, sure, those games were fun back then, but times have changed and so has Resident Evil.

Lets give this game (and /6) some time before writing it off.

P.S - For those of you slating /6 for their work with Confrontation, take a look at what was said around, and after, release, the game wasn't ready but Sony pushed it out regardless. Also, play the game now and you will see it holds up well as a SOCOm experience, and in my eyes is truer a SOCOM game the travesty that is SOCOM 4.

[Leonesaurus]

Qoute: "the travesty that is SOCOM 4"

For starters, I'm playing SOCOM 4 right now, and the game is fucking addicting, fun, and looks gorgeous! I also have SOCOM: Confrontation sitting in front of me in my collection, and the game was OK. Nothing great, considering it was only multiplayer. Nothing I would want my Biohazard fix mixing with, but I'm actually intrigue with what ideas they have planned for the new game. I think it sounds and looks really cool (for the most part).

I can't speak for anyone else and defend their opinions for false reasons, but for me, I have a problem with the look of the 4 main characters in the U.S.S. you play as.

1) NO ONE in Resident Evil history, as far as I know, has ever had the ability to use cloaking technology. No B.O.W., Umbrella personnel, or foreign enemy has had this ability. I don't want to see a HUNK look-a-like using Predator technology to stealth kill Leon Kennedy. That's all. It's just NOT Resident Evil-like.

2) Also, the design of the 4 main soldiers and their gear should look like what the standard U.S.S. men wore in Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil: Outbreak, and what HUNK has worn in recent games. They don't go around with butcher knives, or radically different gear.

Aside from those 2 things, I think the game can potentially be fun and interesting. I'm still looking forward to seeing footage of them game and more screens with news updates. I'll give the game a chance, but don't judge me by thinking I'm gonna suck this game's cock just yet. We'll see what happens.

[ShAkKa]

So much hate... I remember the good old days when people used to like games.

[Tuxedoassassin]

Zombie UAV IN THE AIR!
Zombie NUKE COMING!
Thank you Capcom. /s

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

Well from looking at the pictures I'm certainly getting a RE2 feel from them.

[acemonkey]

cool

[WetN00dle69]

Dont know this sound fun. Might give it a shot when it releases. Dont know why many are putting it down even before it releases. Its as if they seen the future of the title.

[Tikicobra]

Will there be regenerating health and down-the-irons aiming?

[ATiElite]

yes along with auto-aim
kill streaks
hacks
bugs
lag from p2p
24 player MP (64 on PC)
$2.99 for leopard print gun skins
and all that other COD crap.

[ATiElite]

Oh I see what it is....

Resident Evil: Modern Scarefare 2

can't wait for the "Afterlife Map Pak".
instead of Zombie Mode DLC you'll get Military mode DLC

[Pozzle]

Didn't Capcom ask the fans what they want to see in future RE games?

WHY DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE FANS, CAPCOM!

[ATiElite]

why would Capcom listen to people who actually buy their games? That makes NO sense to me! /sarcasm

Capcom saw them Modern Warfare 2 sales figures and pumped this puppy right on out.

[Myst]

/sigh

Capcom can we keep Resident Evil and Monster Hunter almost 1:1 ratio? As much fun as I have with the titles {For better or for worse} I kind of want a new game with me slaying wyverns and such.

[banjadude]

Not too sure what to think of this game, but the picture with the 4 security forces posing (third row, right most picture), was pretty cool.

[Baba1906]

i dont get how you can use a zombie for cover. 1. it will bite your arm off, 2. its just disgusting! 3. you allways stay away from zombies. you dont try to hug them. nogo! 4. there is allways something else you can hide behind. for god sake they are in a destroyed city take a car door or a trash lit, or something.

But well all crazyness aside i might be a good game even if it wont be a real resident evil.

[skyblue14213]

I know that the article is from the european version of ptom april 2011, but I have the us version of ptom april 2011(through subscription) and even though the resident evil series has been a disappointment since re4(imo) I don't see one thing in the magazine that even mentions resident evil: operation raccoon city. What gives ptom?.

Europeans get a resident evil: operation raccoon city cover art on their version of the magazine and a decent article about the new game in the magazine to boot, and all of us U.S. readers of the ptom magazine instead get a lame rachet and clank all 4 one cover art on the magazine and not even one mention of resident evil: operation raccoon city in this months magazine. I am not saying the rachet and clank series is lame or bad, but I would have much preferred to have a resident evil: operation raccoon city cover art and an article about the new game in the magazine LIKE THE REST OF THE PTOM READERS THAT ARE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ON THIS PLANET!

I don't usually subscribe to magazines that much because the internet has more updated info on gaming related stuff but I sometimes prefer actually reading a magazine instead of going through the steps of turning on my pc and searching for gaming related journalism, it is also just something about magazines that I also prefer over the pc like actually holding in my hands what I am reading etc... . Another common problem that I have when I actually do subscribe to magazines is that when I subscribe for say a year or two I usually don't get all of the issues, what I mean is I will get the number of issues as promised but I will be missing a monthly issue and instead the subscription will carry over to the next month. I hate that and it is one of the main reasons why I don't subscribe to gaming magazines that much.

If we U.S ptom readers do get anything related to resident evil: operation raccoon city in any future ptom issues it will probably have only one or two pictures from the game that will canvas one or both sides of a page and a stupid little snippet of info related to the game which is very disappointing.

If any of you ptom staff are reading this I am a subscriber to ptom and I am somewhat disappointed in the way that your magazine is designed/handled because I want to read more instead of looking at the majority of the magazine that is comprised of pictures instead of comprehensive worded articles that are gaming related like a magazine should be. Don't get me wrong I like art and I don't mind looking at pictures, but it has gotten to a level where your magazine is comprised mostly of pictures and not enough articles that provide an adequate and appropriate amount of info.

It is sad because the former magazine that they were(which was psm) before they switched to being ptom was my favorite gaming magazine because they had a no b.s. policy on how they approached psm in which they valued substance(comprehensive gaming journalism articles) over the superficial game art pictures garbage that make up the majority of the of issues of the ptom magazine today, and because they were an independent magazine they weren't afraid of being down right honest in getting straight to the point about gaming related stuff.

I was thinking about renewing my subscription to ptom, but after recently encountering the inconsistent monthly issue subscription problem that I have had happen to me many times in the past with other gaming magazine subscriptions, the lackluster snippet of info articles that are buried by the obsessive level of pictures that make up most of the magazine, and info on games that are for more mature gamers that people from other countries get but the U.S. readers of the same magazine(ptom) don't get until month(s) later is making it less than likely that I will renew my subscription to ptom.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

Looking forward to this, can't wait!
the guy above me holy sh** bro

[LeonhartX]

god i miss fixed angle survival horror :(

[The Milkman]

What happened to the horror part of resident evil? I mean don't get me wrong action is fun sometimes too. But seriously I miss the real resident evil I grew up on. This may be a decent game but it's atmosphere has left the building. This is all judging by the screen shots and recent RE. Developers need to get off the "Yea lets kills zombies!" slug fest and get back to the eerie keeps the lights on game. There's so many games like that out there. Gear of war 2 was scarier than RE5 lol.

I'm not going to rush to go play this game if its just going to offer the same action you have to be 12 to get a little scared crap. Hey it may be fun but Resident Evil could offer something different that 80% of the games out. Now I'm looking forward to the new silent hill game coming out since they got the message that we want the true horror back. I'll probably leave this to the kids high off mountain dew on their way back home from a paintball game.

[XeNoStRatoS]

If it is a nice 3rd person shooter, why not? Idk about the Resident Evil franchise anymore, got used too much for re-releases and stuff. But it could become something like Dead Rising or similar and if it supports the Move in a satisfying way - count me in.

[Masterchef2007]

Ever since RE5 the games have gone downhill for me. Anyways i got deadspace to enjoy so im happy.

[WitWolfy]

I smell a Lost Planet reskined as a Zombie game. No surprise though seeing Capcom hasnt deliver any good games in the past 3 years.. Whats next... "Resident Evil and Alan Wake in The Undead writers block" fighting off zombies made by a crappy engine that no one really likes???

This franchise needs a reboot so badly

[Alvia]

waooo thats g8 news

[anubis56]

Note: g8=gate -_-"

Plus this is NOT great news cuz the game is being developed by slant 6!

Uh Indian freaks!

[kasasensei]

...generic design... omg

[TVippy]

It's deleted.

[YoungKingDoran]

what are they trying to achieve by throwing their biggest and 4th biggest franchises to white uh "western" developers?

and fyi the order i put together in my head was: 1st resident evil 2nd mega man 3rd street fighter 4th devil may cry
if im wrong, i dont give a shit so dont call me out. but i reckon thats a good guess

[zero_cool]

I feel uneasy because of who's working on this game & hopefully my feeling of doubt is put to rest when it comes closer to the final version.
