Computer & Videogames are also reporting it but I can't access the site at the moment. Too much traffic, I guess.

http://www.the-horror.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1683 - Dot? But I was thinking more along the lines of this being someone's practical joke that got sniffed outa and leaked as real info. Are there any other places reporting it?

Oh crap, someone did just point out that April is soon...if this is an early April Fool's someone's nuts are getting loaded into a double barreled shotgun. I may not be entirely sold on this yet, but I'd rather it disapointed me than a joke that got leaked.

Who makes an April Fools joke a full week before it actually comes around?

If this is an April fools joke so should Duke Nukem Forever getting delayed

Sounds terrible IMO.

Hopefully it'll be third person like Socom 4 and the opportunity to kill Ada I cannot pass up I've been wanting her to die for a long time lol

[Pikminister]

Too much expectation is building up now!

Screw that... ITS HYPE TIME!

* One of thmottos repeated to OXM throughout the demo was "Kill Leon". It's also stated that if you choose to represent in the game as the Special Ops team, that you'd more than likely have the goal of trying to save Leon Kennedy.
* Slant Six or Capcom won't reveal if any other characters will be playable in the title just yet, but it'd make sense to see quite a few big cameos.
* Operation Raccoon City is a team-based shooter allowing four members of the USS team to destroy all evidence of the ongoing outbreak. Along with slaying the zombies, you're looking to "kill pretty much every survivor possible".
* The gameplay is described as "dirty", and the series will feel much darker than it has up to this point.

All of this sounds promising. I'm holding back judgment but as of right now, I'm thinking positively...which as some of you may know, is something I have not been doing when it comes to Resident Evil lately. I'm curious to see how the game looks, and more importantly, how it plays.

And let's not forget all those Mr.X running around town.

I'm just glad to have some good laughs again like I did with outbreak back in the day, but this time with a twist with the different factions and objectives; hearing friends and other people cursing in joy or shock and horror by what the game offers.

I totally forgot about the potential of having Nemelesis hunting players, or Birkin, during these scenarios. Please don't let this game dissapoint.

Ok, I'm sold with this one; seeing Raccon City in HD, zombies, tyrant, etc; just sounds awesome; I only hope that the game is not a FPS.

[riderkid]

hold up...we can play as spec ops and umbrella? thats what they said?

...activision listen to me now! talk with capcom! GET CAPTAIN PRICE INTO THIS GAME NOW! I WILL PAY FOR 5 COPIES OF THIS GAME IF CAPTAIN PRICE IS IN IT!

HD Raccoon City+ chance to kill Leon for good= sold.
I suppose Nemesis will be in this game too. FPS or not this surely sounds interesting.
Honestly I don't care about canon considering it's not part of the main series. As long as I get to see zombies and classic BOWs again it's all good.
Some survival would've been nice though, being able to blast through hordes of zombies without running out of ammo is less exciting.
Now all that's left to announce is RE6 lol.
