Resident Evil: Raccoon City announced [Officially confirmed: Post 273]

[Stu]

I'll buy the 360 version at launch for sure, PS3 would depend on a whole bunch of things though.

[Zombie Fred]

It'd be nice if, once comfirmed, there was a PC version to go along with its console counterparts. I would double dip at release that's for sure. I'll most likely invest on a decent HD capture card near the end of the year (<3 Expression Encoder on PC).

haha hilarious thread.

It's real, move on.

kinda of fishy he leaks the cover but not the rest.. =/

It's not fishy that the guy has principles really.

The fact this is the same source as the details leak, that magazine is apparently on a shelf this early (besides which over here at least means subscribers would have it already as they get shipped to before -anyone-)

Not always the case at all. As a subscriber to a lot of magazines in the past, it ended up being a rarity when magazines would reach me before the stores.

Getting the magazine early is a hook to get you interested, but it rarely works out that way.

If real... they changed the fucking U.S.S. uniform AGAIN!?

Please don't be canon.

Hilarious, for whatever reason i'd expect better from you.

There is talk about killing Leon, about killing major characters, and about changing the history of Resident Evil. And you still need to HOPE it won't be canon?

No, because they said it was the May issue and that April issue has already been out for a while now, since the start of March to be exact. As I said earlier the next months issue always publishes within the month before (April's in March, May's in April, etc.).

Using the Duke Nukem cover story, I figured people would have been wanting those scans from that issue.

The date these scans were published from that issue is March 2nd, almost a month ago. To top it off, they were informed on Feb 27th that the issue was on it's way.

This is now lending more truth to the release date of the issue and the likely possibility. I only find it dubious that they cut off the barcode in the picture (and thus the magazine's month date, which appears below the code is missing) but if the April issue was reaching subscribers on the 1st or 2nd of March, then it's likely the May issue will be on it's way to subscribers around now.

I personally still don't know either way, but if Capcom doesn't confirm it soon, the OXM mag will show off the cover in the coming days anyway.

To also go along with this, the May issue would go alongside with Captivate in April, and I am very confident this is real (but from this information remains to be seen). We've not got long either way until we see this is officially confirmed.

Well, that certain;y hurts the tale. If that's the current, April issue he would have to have a copy of May's...and that's much more difficult to believe.

[RetroRain]

This magazine was said to hit newstands April 5th?

Check this out:

Wow. Maybe it is a fake.

An early April Fool's joke?

[Dracarys]

I never gave a crap about Hunk either. I think he is just as overrated as Wesker is.

But anyway, I do think this game is real. I went over to the Capcom-Unity forum, because if it was a fake then maybe one of the moderators would have stated so. Obviously there is a thread for this game over there as well. The moderator DrDark seems interested in this game, but can't sticky the thread until Capcom makes it official. Check the thread out for yourself. His posts are on pages 5 and 7.

Most of the mods there are just fans like you or I. They do not work for Capcom and have no more knowledge than you or I.

The umbrella logo on his shoulder looks so fake.

Surprisingly, I don't care...I thought I'd be excited, being a fan of Outbreak and the Raccoon City setting...but I don't care. xD I may rent it but...meh. I guess RE5 just kind of ruined getting excited for RE anymore, imo. I also never gave a crap about the USS or HUNK. Shocking, I know but I'm just not interested in special forces characters. It was fine for the first few games but god...I miss people like Steve. xD But to those who liked the older games and HUNK, good for them. =) Maybe they'll like this. At least this seems kind of different.

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Lol before the fake or real talk was misguided and lost now there is something more solid fueling our wonder if its real or not

[RetroRain]

LOL I'm loving this now. This is very interesting. Is it a fake or not? This alone will keep us busy until actual pics are shown, if they are shown that is!

[Bertha]

Take that easily added umbrella logo off the arm and this could be from anything or by anyone.

Have to agree. The pose looks so damn familiar, but I can't recall where I've seen it before. As for people saying it looks too real...photoshop and mods have made many fake things look very much real before. If it is legit....meh...not too impressed.

[RetroRain]

If it is a fake, it is a very good one, but I doubt it.
