I know what your thinking, shooting and running at the same time in a Resident Evil game? yea doesn't make any sense. It's also a 4 player co-op game, so it's clearly a Resident Evil game we have not seen.

Regardless of the unusual gameplay for Raccoon City, It's concept on the other hand is pretty interesting. Players will play as a squad sent by umbrella to clean up the mess thats happening in Raccoon City, Its pretty much Resident Evil 2 all over again but in another perspective.

Not only do you clean up the mess by killing zombies, lurkers and other iconic baddies in Resident Evil, your also faced against military soldiers sent by the government, tasked to figure out whats going on, at the same time Leon S. Kennedy is also an enemy in this game as he and Claire try to survive just like in Resident Evil 2. It's a free for all fight as you can see in the video, and with that concept, I really don't see the stop shoot gameplay working here.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is set for a release at the end of this year for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, no actual date given.

Xbox Live Arcade Minecraft starts with a Beta

Minecraft is coming to XBLA and Minecraft creators Markus "Notch" Persson and Daniel Kaplan want to take it a bit slow.

From [Gameinformer]

In an excellent interview with Develop, Mojang's Markus "Notch" Persson and Daniel Kaplan shed new light on Minecraft's forthcoming launch on Xbox Live Arcade. Persson says "the way we’re going to do it is similar to how we did Minecraft on the PC. So we’ll do a beta version first or something like that and then try to get feedback – find out which parts are actually fun to do, what do you like doing when playing on the console as opposed to the PC. I think there will be a big overlap in terms of both console and PC players, and they can help us figure it out."

Kaplan added that mods will not be included in the Xbox 360 version, and updates will not be as fast due to the extensive testing that must be done to not "break the Xbox system." For more info on the Xbox 360, PC, and Android versions, check out Develop's interview.

Twisted Metal Delayed to early 2012

Originally placed for an October 4 release, David Jaffe(creator of the series) just announced that Twisted Metal will be delayed and will be released in early 2012. That's a huge push back.  Jaffe said the game is just "not ready". I guess we'll just have to wait till next year for Sweet tooth, Calypso and the rest to return.

“With Twisted Metal we plan to ship a multiplayer classic. We plan to ship the best Twisted Metal ever made. We plan to convert a lot of folks who think vehicle combat is a relic best left to 90′s nostalgia. And we plan to explode the belief that the only relevant kind of shooter is a first person one. Most importantly, we plan on treating you – the kind folks who play our game (and pay our bills) – like the VIPs that you are. You only deserve our best and we appreciate your understanding as we take a little more time to guarantee that our best is what we deliver.”

I understand delays to have more time for polish and adjustments but from October to early 2012? how incomplete was it?! I guess they threw that October 4 date and challenged themselves to reach that due date, or was it Sony rushing it out the door?

When it comes to these delays, instead of getting bummed out, I just think of the game being a better one because of it, well hopefully that will be the case for Twisted Metal.
