Rewrite History in This New Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Trailer

The more I see, the more excited I am to exterminate zombies that are slowly walking and terrorizing the streets of Raccoon City in this new spin on the Resident Evil franchise. Today, Capcom has released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, entailing who we will be playing as and what objectives we need to complete when playing as either the U.S.S. (Umbrella Security Service) or Government Spec Ops.

The role of the U.S.S. is to contain the details about the outbreak; exterminating all police officers, covering your tracks - to not let any information about the situation going on in the city. With that said, one of your targets is actually Leon S. Kennedy, the hero from Resident Evil 2. Obviously, Spec Ops will be trying to uncover the truth about the outbreak in Raccoon City.

With Leon, being your target, this gives all players the oppurtunity to rewrite the history of Resident Evil by killing him. In the end of the trailer, Leon gets assaulted by a U.S.S. soldier the killing him. Who knows how fans will take this, but it's new take and can also get some interest from franchise veterans.

Check out the trailer below!

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.

Rumor: New Resident Evil Announcement At VGA's?

In the "Be First" trailer for Spike TV's Video Game Awards there was a frame in that suggests a new Resident Evil title will be announced. It has the BioHazard logo that is synonymous with the franchise and includes "Stay Alive, Stay Alert, Report Symptoms" on the logo. There is a chance that this can be the squad based Rez Evil game that developer Slant Six (Socom) is working on.

The VGA's will be on December 11th.
