News report topic! (For newsreporting, not discussion)
There's this recent marketing campaign going on... it was just discovered that Capcom is behind it and thus... some seem to think it could be a campaign designed to build hype for RE6.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City has 70 Achievements. View the full Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City achievement list at XboxAchievements.com.

Another rumor that supports that RE6 is on the way...
An "insider" at Capcom revealed the following info:
- Resident Evil 6 development underway
- involves Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong
- Leon and Chris are the main characters
- developed internally
- gameplay is a cross between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 (That's a REBOOT?)
For the first time in Resident Evil history, Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield will both be playable characters in Capcom's ambitious sixth main entry in its survival horror series. Sources within the development team have started to give IGN a broad picture of the game's scope, which certainly seems larger than any Resident Evil title we've seen so far. This news comes on the heels of the leaked logo and release date for the game.
1up posted an article/editorial that deals with the belief that RE6 will totally steal ORC's thunder:
Capcom made their official announcement yesterday that Resident Evil 6, the next sequel in their flagship survival horror series, is in development and will release on November 20, 2012. But while the promise of a new chapter in the RE saga is exciting (and the debut trailer amazing), there may be an unintended casualty from this news: Capcom's upcoming console game Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City -- made by Canadian developer Slant Six Games -- could be a victim of the Osborne Effect.
The Osborne Effect is a term that refers to the unintended consequences of pre-announcing a future product when there's already something similar for sale. Naturally, consumers prefer the new/better thing and not an inferior product. In fact, the Osborne Effect is the sole reason technology companies like Apple wait a year before announcing a revision for an existing device.
According to this new article from CVG, Capcom UK's head of marketing thinks that it makes perfect sense for Capcom to explore action "more fully" with Resident Evil.
This is what he said...
"We've seen the popularity of Resident Evil increase massively as the series became more action oriented - Resident Evil 5 is the biggest seller in the series. So, it makes sense for us to follow this action area more fully."
He added of Operation Raccoon City: "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."
