Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Announced

In a early look at next month's Xbox Official Magazine (May issue), Slant Six has unveiled their next project Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City. In the game, you take the role of one of four Umbrella's USS squad members, named Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre, that tried to contain the outbreak in the city during the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Obviously, if you're familiar with the Resident Evil classics, USS are heavily armed and are ready to take down the undead, until their demise.

Being a co-op game, it's very reminiscent to my favorite and underrated game, Resident Evil: Outbreak, which was ahead of it's time. Now, it does sound like it'll be more action-oriented, which some may get turned off by because it does sound very similar to Left 4 Dead.

As a fan of classic Resident Evil, I'm hoping that there are scares and not about "shooting on sight" like most games are now, but with games nowadays, it may end up going that way, but I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. As long as it's done "right" with Resident Evil, I'm okay with it

Slant Six's last and recent game to be released was SOCOM: Confrontation. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be coming out on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
