Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Well barry could show up afterall he is in resident evil 3 ending so it could happend.

I will never understand people with a bit of money who can't seem to do simple things that would improve their physical appearance. Anderson should seriously invest in a $5 coffee-drinker's toothpaste or some whitening strips. If I were in the face of the public, I wouldn't want people pointing out things that are easily fixed. Bahness.

I'm not too interested in seeing Barry, but since we seem to be in some sort of alternate Resident Evil world with this game, introducing a few dead S.T.A.R.S. members might be interesting. Will it happen? I sincerely doubt it.

[Smiley]

The only dead STARS member worth noting is Brad.

Barry's involvement in Raccoon City is pretty minimal in comparison. But then again you'd think the same of 'Lone Wolf' unless the campaign to ORC makes him more involved.

[Xander Ashford]

That was sort of my point. Some of these other characters don't seem to have the grandest of roles, so why not have some of the lesser known S.T.A.R.S. members added? I just get bored every time something like this comes out, it is generally the same handful of characters...Chris...Jill...Leon...Claire...Et cetera. Throw Richard in there...Or Kevin...Or Kenneth...Just something different would be appreciated.

Though, I guess I can't complain too much since Nicholai is not one of the standard characters.

[Smiley]

I think it's safe to assume that every character announced for Heroes Mode will be in the main campaign, but truthfully it's not confirmed to my knowledge. I shouldn't expect everyone we met in RE2 and RE3 to come across the Wolf Pack, but the point of the game is to mangle in RE affairs through the eyes of the bad guys.

I don't think Heroes Mode will amount to much since the implication is that it's only just a bonus for the game, but it does make me believe that something like it would fare better in a separate game of its own.

Not just using characters from the games, but customizing your own Raccoon City character and exploring all the classic locations and monsters from Raccoon City.

The Triple Impact trailer makes me both cringe and say "fuck yeah awesome". I liked it because I like over the top action stuff and this conflict between two armed forces having to worry with monsters attacking them is a good concept, BUT the woman killing that Licker with a knife like that even though she never saw one before was fucking stupid.

All it did was reinforce my belief that they could do this for anything except Resident Evil and it would be awesome. But the fact that they're attempting to say it is Resident Evil just makes it suck a pair of fat, hairy balls.

Not as stupid as a rookie cop and a college girl killing tons of lickers/zombies/cerberus/Tyrant and Birkin. Let's face it, RE is full of stupid and over the top moments and a trained US military woman in a warzone killing a Licker she likely faced already before that single encounter isn't as crazy as other feats shown in the series. That trailer was awesome though, makes me want to play as the military as well.

Lickers...The new Aliens.

Perhaps stupid, but this trailer was awesome and very well done to be honest. If this game has very well done cut-scenes like this, I'm sold.

I don't think so. I was very happy to see all these zombies, lickers and T-103 in motion like this in that trailer.

[Darkmoon]

I suppose the question is always this; is a game going to take more from it's title than it gives? In this case, without that Resident Evil in the title, Operation Badger Village wouldn't be anything like as interesting. You could have most of the same elements - changeable storyline. three way battles, monsters etc - and without that extra special Resident Evil it wouldn't be on many folks radar.

It gives back to the series random retcons and run and gun shooting. Eh.

I think for me it's more the context of it, (For example, just to look flash as fuck) I'm all for awesome 300 style slomo - and all the jazz, but for fighting monsters in Resident Evil I like to have it a little more grounded. Had the girl out witted the Licker and then stabbed it in the head or something in a method that was believable, i'm all for that, but jump twirling and all the shit is just like Alice jump kicking a cerberus in the head in the original Resident Evil movie.

I suppose when Claire and Leon turn up they don't try anything stupid and just shoot everything they, as opposed to fight it with a knife or something. That was very much in the hands of the player (and I know I never attempted my first licker until I'd had a shotgun or grenade launcher).

Hmm she lost her gun. Was she supposed to stand there and not fight back? I'd rather use a knife than not try at all.
I think a trained military woman is more believable than Alice in any way, shape or form or Claire tossing a knife in Darkside Chronicles. How about Outbreak characters using shotguns and grenade launchers without any sort of gun training before?
Yes, the trailer is over the top and that's what makes it awesome. Not to mention it makes more sense than many other scenes in past RE games. The group is taking samples ... it's kind of obvious that they know what they're doing. Compare them to the cops in RE2/3 to see what I mean.

That's what I meant, Leon and Claire shooting at Lickers? Fine. Someone grabbing its tongue, cutting it off and then stabbing it in the heart? Come on, man. But I wouldn't compare to Anderson's movies, those are just another level of bad.

Operation Raccoon City is just those movies condensed into a single game, so the comparisons are completely fair.
