Operation Raccoon City dev says: "Mission accomplished"

Slant Six Studio producer Mike Kerr told Eurogamer that while Slant Six would like to have seen higher review scores, it's confident that it has achieved what publisher Capcom originally asked it to do.

"[The critical reception] seems to be fairly polarised," Kerr admitted.

"In the end, I think our position on it is that we read every review and we try to pull out all the constructive feedback that we can so we can learn a little about what people liked and what they didn't.

"Then we look to what our internal goals were and what Capcom asked us to do and I think we accomplished what they wanted to do - we took the Resident Evil franchise in a different direction," he continued.

The history of Resident Evil

An article from CVG that takes a look back at the series.

Apparently, it was written before ORC was released ("with Revelations for the 3DS already in the shops, Operation raccoon City imminent and Resident Evil 6 scheduled for the end of the year"). But there it is... to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the franchise.

I know we're not supposed to post in the news topic, but

NATURAL BONE KILLERS

A new study on organic beverages proves their healthy claims are much more flaccid than you think. For years, the manufacturers of all-natural products have been promoting the benefits of drinking organic beverages at work, school, and at the gym. Unfortunately, these so-called benefits aren’t helping consumers rise to the occasion when it comes to the bedroom.

I thought this was hilarious.

I missed this May 30th update on the comment made by Kawata in a Nintendo Power interview in regards of the possibility of Barry Burton making it to Resident Evil: Revelations by way of a DLC (actually, with April Fools Day in the way, I was trying to avoid most news bits).

Here's an update on that story:

C-U user: Kawata recently said that if they decided to release a DLC for Resident Evil : Revelations, it would involve Barry Burton.

But yet, you (C-U Sven) claimed Resident Evil Revelations wasn't built to receive DLC.

So who exactly do we have to believe here?

And Sven replied:

Sven: As the producer on the project, Kawata would have the best info, however to the best of my knowledge, the game was not built to be extensible.

Jill Valentine is now Jill Redfield. Chris married her shortly after the events of RE5. She's no longer a field agent, but is still at the BSAA as a bioweapons advisor in the New York City HQ.
