Report – Resident Evil: Racoon City announced in US OXM

According to a StickSkills report, former SOCOM developer Slant Six’s much speculated Resident Evil effort has been unveiled in the latest edition of Official Xbox Magazine in the US.

Titled as Resident Evil: Racoon City, as rumoured beforehand, the game ses you on opposite sides of the spectrum as members of the Umbrella Security Services Squad rather than BSAA.
Unlike the latter, where you just take out zombies, gunning for Umbrella is all about destroying evidence and killing T-Virus survivors from the 1998 Racoon City outbreak.
There are two other factions to make a “three corner conflict” according to Capcom: US spec ops and bio-organic monsters created by Umbrella.
Your team is made up of four members: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre. Depending on who you pick to play as, its goals and aims will vary.
The magazine adds that “you’ll be facing Umbrella-created horrors in between skirmishes” with each faction. It also says the game will allow you to “change the history of Resident Evil,” with many characters from the series making appearances. You’ll also be allowed to kill them.
The reports says that it’ll be coming to 360 and PS3 later this fall.
Racoon City will no doubt be one of many efforts this year from Capcom to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil, having announced earlier today it would release HD versions of Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica this fall for PSN and XBLA.

What do you mean 'Online Shooter'? Will it an MMO or an MP/Co-Op only game?

[DarkLordMalik]

It is sounding almost entirely like Biohazard Outbreak which was still enjoyable game

[R3Z0N]

Sounds interesting, I just hope it has an offline story mode.

[Geralt of Rivia]

online? not excited.

There's no mention of whether it's going to have a story mode at all in any of the articles so far, but the descriptions makes it sound like a very online-inspired game.

Resident Evil Outbreak on PS2 had both Online and Offline story mode,i hope the same is true for this game.

I got a feeling it'll be an Outbreak style game.
What's with Capcom and so many RE releases suddenly? Are we gearing up for an RE6 announcement?

[Geralt of Rivia]

^nope...just making quick cash.

I guess the idea of RE:racoon city was a good one if only it was a proper RE game like RE2, just the other way around. Being bad guys of 'the' most awesome game in history sounds soooo cool, especially after the series has dried up.

More like they are trying to build cash to begin development on RE6, I mean they haven't released anything notably as of yet. There last major release was Dead Rising 2 and that too was developed by an external studio.
