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

[Stu]

With news all of sudden popping up so fast, we may even get screenshots later today or tomorrow. I mean, if this game is scheduled to be out this fall/winter, then wouldn't it have to be at least 50% done by now?

I'd be surprised if we don't have scans/photos at some point by the end of the evening.

[Mr. Spencer]

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and fire up Crysis 2.

Look forward to reading everyone's thoughts about this.

Absolutely no clue what to think of this. Gameplay video would be helpfull. This is going to come out this fall?

And if it is, whoever programmed the AI for RE5 needs to be fired. Now. I will not suffer through three Sheva-Bots for any sum of money.

She was still better than any of the Outbreak support AI.

Your dream to play alongside Nicholai is coming to a reality. I am just looking forward to an HD Raccoon City and exploring the streets again <3

I'm looking forward to actually having a new Resident Evil title that is multiplayer heavy that would be fun for all us to enjoy playing together at last. This is good for the community, even if it's not the type of game we would be expecting. But the sound of scenario mode objectives, with three factions? Come on, this is born for epic levels of fun memories with fellow people on here!

I agree. What is selling me already is that it takes place in Raccoon City, it is going to have the old BOWs, Tyrants, and there is team work and factions. It sounds very Outbreak-ish, and that alone I'm loving it.

[Darkmoon]

I'm confused, is this MP only ? or will it have single player ?

I don't think it's said one way or the other. That said - this smells like Capcom going, 'Oh, shit' on seeing Left 4 Dead and Dead Island and all the popularity they're gaining, while at the same time Resident Evil 5 got slapped harder than a punter begging for freebies off hookers. So I'm betting it's pretty much there answer to that, mutliplayer with an option for single player with bots.

And if it is, whoever programmed the AI for RE5 needs to be fired. Now. I will not suffer through three Sheva-Bots for any sum of money.

I immediately thought of everyone on THIA when I read that.

In fairness, if they keep him as a clueless, slightly hopeful muppet I'll spare him. He utters a one liner and I'm ramming him arse first onto a Tyrant's claw.

By any chance, there wasn't any word on which consoles this would be for was there? I'm assuming that it will be for 360/PS3. Finally, I would have a reason to buy a PS3.

[Archelon]

Also - Kill Leon? That's got me half way to buying it already. I will shoot him in the legs and arms and leave him for the Cerberus.
