Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City First Details And Teaser

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City was recently announced official by Capcom and it is currently in development for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It is co-developed by Slant-Six Games the former developer for SOCOM and is scheduled for release this Winter 2011.

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.W’s) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional team based shooters.

It is September 1998 and the action centers once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favorite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak.

Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3DS - Jill and Wesker Trailer

It finally happened. The finally learned how to strafe, aim and shoot at the same time. For more than a decade the RE cast ha never walked and aimed at the same time. Now I know that was a design choice but it got annoying after so many games don't you think? Hell, back in the RE5 demo when I was able to strafe w/o having to face left of right was like the greatest thing ever.

Ranting aside, the graphics for this game looks great. Better than what they showed in earlier videos. It even seems to have smoother texturing compared to Wii games and all that in the palm of your hands.

Wesker opts for his Chris Angel powers as opposed to Chris Redfield's Falcon Punches. His campy taunt at 0:29 was hilarious.

Trine 2 gameplay trailer

Have a peek at Trine 2's gameplay footage and be amazed on how beautiful the game looks. Me and my buddies had a blast with Trine's creative co-op gameplay. It was fun testing each others trust among one another in the first and i can't wait to do it all over again with the sequel.

If you haven't tried Trine you should get it and I suggest you find a buddy or two to play with. This game is meant to be played as a co-op and you'll be missing a lot of you don't.

Trine 2 has no release date yet but is aiming for a 2011 release. The game will be out for Xbox Live Arcade, PC and PSN.
