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

[Pikminister]

Like Darkmoon said, this could be an April Fools joke for OXM that was leaked early.

And considering that gaming magazines are quite fond of those type of jokes (see GamePro & EGM) and that such jokes need to prepared weeks before they're published... there is some chance that this story is fake.

[Stu]

Not buying that in the slightest, that's nonsense.

It's been known for a long time now that Slant Six ARE developing a Resident Evil title, that's a fact. So why would the official publication take an existing title which is in development and then fill an entire article with made up bullshit?

Who wins in that one? Do you think for a second that Capcom would allow it?

[Smiley]

While I do tire of going back to Raccoon City (AGAIN) I'll wait to hear more about the game play.

This is the gap in between RE sequels where the ports and spin offs begin to surface. I'm still waiting on RE6 info and for the time being could care less about 3DS titles, HD ports of older games or even this Raccoon City adventure.

[Pikminister]

I didn't knew the magazine was already out to be read.

And magazines have done similar (not exact) jokes in the past.

EGM's Wind Waker remake:


EGM's Lego Halo


EGM's Sheng Long in Street Fighter II


Besides, like you said... there is a 40% chance the story is fake. Right?

[P.I.M.P.]

if its confirmed on capcom then it real

[Pikminister]

Maybe the old sage over at Capcom-Unity can help us with this one...

(checks C-U forum...)

Nope.

[Alkar]

When is the May issue of XBM supposed to come out? Seems way too early for a leak.

[Pikminister]

Maybe this story is not on Japanese gaming sites because its night over there?

There is nothing about this on Famitsu or even adriasang.

Nothing.

[BLSR1]

Im excited for it.

+It's something different.
+It sounds like fun gameplay.
+I have the possibility to kill Sherry or Rebecca and Billy
+Old School Umbrella BOWs
+ZOMBIES!!!
+Crowded Urban Setting
+I will probably be able to slaughter the cast of Outbreak.
+It is a side game that explores the world of Resident Evil without being bogged down by the story


Haters gonna hate, but I'm liking the sound of it.

[Gradon]

I'm rather indifferent about this but we'll see how it goes.
I just hope it's not an FPS game.

[Archelon]

I look forward to being able to kill Jill and hopefully the entirety of the Outbreak cast.
