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

When they say "meat shield," though, I think of Gears of War and holding the enemy in front of you as a bullet sponge.

Yeah, that's the idea.

Its not really a new idea in FPS since you could do that in last gen games. In Splinter Cell games you could always do that.

Well, social gaming might be the future of RE after all.

Good times.

s i can kill brian irons or ada?

gives a new meaning to the phrase ada...WAIT! Bang!

[Dracarys]

What is this? A game with 'Resident Evil' in the title? Sold.


I will buy this, I will not deny it. Not entirely sure if I'm excited for it or not given the info. I'd rather play as characters already established, especially since this sounds like it is throwing canon to the wind.

B'wahhahahaha

Ok it sounds either really good, or completely horrible! To me, it sounds like a mix of Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Resident Evil. I guess I will keep an open mind. It sounds alright. The chance to kill Leon sounds like a good time. My only fear is if they will create the areas nicely or if they will re use areas of Outbreak. Another thing. I am very afraid about the game play (Classic/FPS/Re4 & 5 Style)

I will keep an open mind and be skeptical until a trailer and gameplay.

[REmaster]

That sounds quite good, and all of this new Resident Evil content/news coming. It's giving the forum a nice birth of energy again.

I hear ya, it's almost too good to be true. With this sudden flood of game reveals, it makes me just a tad bit paranoid that April Fool's is a little over a week away lol.

Fuck it, cheers!

[Sephiroth]

Well I really doint know what to say about this one it sounds like another Outbreak to me but saying that I aint going to pass any judgment until I see some gameplay.

SOCOM: Confrontation was Slant 6's first console game, having only worked on the Fireteam Bravo games on PSP. It was completely broken at launch and took 4 or 5 months and multiple game updates for it to actually work. When it worked, though, it was extremely enjoyable. It has since been forgotten and hacked to high hell.

As for this, it definitely sounds interesting. That's about the only way I can describe it right now. I'll add more thoughts when I get to read everything more thoroughly but right now I'm late for class.

This game will pretty much have to be released early next year. Otherwise it's being sent to die.

[Mr. Spencer]

This winter?

Revelations, Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Raccoon City...

The missus ain't gonna be happy...

Don't forget Resistance 3!

[Darkmoon]

I've yet to play Gears...but it'll need to be a short thing. Zombies can take a fare few rounds in the chest and still be lively, and eventually will give you a bite.

When they say "meat shield," though, I think of Gears of War and holding the enemy in front of you as a bullet sponge.

[Darkmoon]

In any case, does anyone else think using a zombie as a "meat shield" sounds like a spectacularly bad idea?

Depends on how they do it. If it's one of those 'zombie stands still and allows stupid to happen' moments, such as Alice snapping one's neck with her bare, flesh thighs then yes. Otherwise? It might be cool. Maybe. If they do it right.

This winter?

Revelations, Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Raccoon City...

The missus ain't gonna be happy...

Mine will kill me if I fail to buy Mass Effect 3. On the plus side, though, none of the other games are on my must buy list.

[Archelon]

Winter could mean next year, too.

[TheBatMan]

This winter?

Revelations, Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Raccoon City...

The missus ain't gonna be happy...

[Archelon]

I guess we'll just have to chalk it up to personal experience, then.
