CDC 2012 (Game Developer's Conference) is expected to include a lecture on Operation Raccoon City:

Programming and Visual Arts – Ben Hanke, software engineer at Slant Six Games will host “Rigging a Resident Evil – Inside the Bone Code of Operation Raccoon City,” detailing the animation techniques used in the studio’s upcoming third-person shooter. During this engineering-focused session, Hanke will explain and demonstrate “the practical application of expression-driven helper bones,” and how it relates to Slant Six’s game.

Kind of weird if you ask me, isn't there a secrecy contract or something? Maybe he's confusing with Operation Raccoon City? Who knows, it's there any way.

EDIT: he removed from his site, probably got yelled at by Capcom.

Perhaps but we knew DC Douglas was going to be in RE5 and Darkside Chronicles ahead of time. It really depends I guess on whatever contracts they sign.

A recent Resident Evil: Revelations preview:

Weapons and their respective upgrades...

Capcom showed us a standard pistol given to you at the beginning of the game, then one that had been upgraded with unlocks. They transformed it from a flimsy pea-shooter into a head-popping device of death. Building your arsenal, and chasing those elusive S rankings, is Raid mode's reason for being, and it seems like a fun and addictive aside to the single-player story

About the enemies...

To make things harder, enemies have different parameters applied to them. If one has a fist icon above its head, that means it's tough and aggressive. A shield icon means it will take a lot of hits to kill. It's an interesting system, forcing you to constantly rethink your tactics.

Raid Mode multiplayer impressions...

It was tense and entertaining but having another player there didn't really add anything to the experience. If anything it actually made it more clumsy because we found we kept getting separated. Raid mode, it seems, is better as a single-player experience, although we only tried one map. It could fare better in more open levels.

Resident Evil 6 to take place in China?
Earlier today we posted a link to New York-based voice over actor Joe Cappelletti listing Resident Evil 6 as one of his recent works. Two more voice over actors have popped up during the day, both confirming roles in said game. One of them, Wendy Mok, lists her work as “Chinese Villager/Zombie”. Interesting, isn’t it?

Does this mean the setting for the upcoming numbered title will be there? Are the rumours of Ada’s heavy involvement in the plot true? Hopefully we’ll find out soon enough!

Zombies? Ada? Sounding good already

And I was joking a while back about what other race would Capcom offend next with RE6...the Chinese it is! (and they deserve it too! )

BTW, CVG is also reporting that story/rumor: Resident Evil 6 appears on another CV, set in China?

They have proof too:

It seems that the same people that were behind the MK webseries are doing an RE one, titled "Resident Evil: First Hour." The series is apparently a re-imagined prequel to RE2, that stars Leon S Kennedy as he explores a farm with other officers that has been affected by the T-Virus. You can watch the first episode here.

Rely On Horror has more on Revelation's story and enemies. And for some reason they say Terrorgrigia instead of Terra, like they were making a really bad pun.

Slow news day but it seems that Milla Jovovich is fighting Godzilla or some huge monster in the latest flick (Retribution). According to Dread Central, Milla wrote in her twitter account:

"There's a HUGE wire stunt 2day here at camp evil as guess what?! Im not allowed 2 do it! Aargh! It's a 50 ft. Fly on a wire rig w a flip AND gunfire (sob) to kill a gynormous creature..."

Since they have Leon involved in this movie... could that huge creature be ElGigante?



Nah!...
