[Carnivol]

It also says the game will allow you to “change the history of Resident Evil,”

Multiple endings / Branching storylines?

Oh! I welcome thee with such open arms! I think I like this game already.

Nice.

Sounds like mutliplayer oriented, let's hope it provides a decent single player experience as well.

Can anyone hear that? It's the sound of even Outbreak fans not being sure haha

Calling it now "team-based shooter", this won't end well.

In fact yeah having read the details here i'm not all that excited at all.

Doesn't state whether it's FPS or not though, think that's a big thing now, could essentially just be an L4D skin.

Titled as Resident Evil: Raccoon City, as rumoured beforehand, the game sees you on opposite sides of the spectrum as members of the Umbrella Security Services Squad rather than BSAA.

Unlike the latter, where you just take out zombies, gunning for Umbrella is all about destroying evidence and killing T-Virus survivors from the 1998 Raccoon City outbreak.

There are two other factions to make a “three corner conflict” according to Capcom: US spec ops and bio-organic monsters created by Umbrella.

Your team is made up of four members: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre. Depending on who you pick to play as, its goals and aims will vary.

The magazine adds that “you’ll be facing Umbrella-created horrors in between skirmishes” with each faction. It also says the game will allow you to “change the history of Resident Evil,” with many characters from the series making appearances. You’ll also be allowed to kill them.

The reports says that it’ll be coming to 360 and PS3 later this fall.
