GamePro Magazine Preview's Operation Racoon City

[A-J]

The latest issue of the German GamePro Magazine has a preview of Operation Raccoon City where they write about seeing a playable slice of the game. The preview has been translated by the folks over at Rely on Horror. The gist is that the game very much acts like a team based shooter with each member of your squad having unique traits, and on a positive note this is the first Resident Evil game where you can run and shoot at the same time.

Operation Raccoon City GamePro Preview

and on a positive note this is the first Resident Evil game where you can run and shoot at the same time.

Hmmm.

Do i take the pedantic route, and suggest any of the rail-shooters actually did that?

Or just point out it will be possible in Mercs 3DS, and was available in the Outbreak games?

Buy hey, it's popupHorror, who cares for accuracy?

edit: Just seen the negatives the magazine puts in the preview: "stereotype protagonists" Don't care. "not much new" As expected. "Where’s the Horror?" Who expected horror?

[Darkmoon]

I kinda hoped for horror...

Oh, who am I kidding. I didn't expect it any more than I expected puzzles. Kinda think it might have a little exploring though. Please?

[A-J]

Or just point out it will be possible in Mercs 3DS, and was available in the Outbreak games?

well .. walk and shoot isn't the same as run and shoot :p

[Stu]

I assumed they weren't distinguishing between the two.

[Dark_Chris]

I still believe there will be horror passages in the game like sewer system, Umbrella dead factory, etc...

All littered with chest high walls for cover :p

The walking and shooting feature was ONLY in Outbreak File 2.

[[STARS]TyranT]

Dead Aim too.

I already mentioned in the 15th Anniversary Trailer thread that I had picked up the newest issue of OXM with the ORC cover story, but I just found the latest issue of Playstation: The Official Magazine with their own ORC cover story this weekend.

If anyone wants scans, send me a pm.

[DeadArtist]

I'm so getting this magazine as soon as it is available!

[REmaster]

Hmm.

I'm digging the ability to lure zombies by wounding an enemy, and then smile while the hordes of zombies close in on them. Such a Nicholai thing to do

I'm pretty sure he did EXACTLY that in the SD Perry novel to a fellow UBCS member.

Hell yes, I loved that part.

[Vito]

[riderkid]

this is the first Resident Evil game where you can run and shoot at the same time.

[djepic112]

*Applause* You sir, deserve an internets cookie. Yes, Nicholai in the novel was the one who was responsible for injuring Mikael in an attempt to play "hunt the prey" with him a bit before killing him up close and personal. I absolutely love SD Perry's novelization of RE3. Nicholai's character in that was so delightfully written. In the games, he just a merc in it for the money--but Perry really made him into a memorable psychopathic killer. Not to mention fill in some of the story gaps in the game.

Too bad Capcom didn't commission her to do an RE5 novel. That would be very interesting. . .

I hated SD Perry's novels. The characterisation was horrific. Plus, she really seems to have some fucked up fancy for rape. Seriously, I was surprised when she didn't have Nemisis make a pass at Jill.

German pride!

German whatnow?
