Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Stu is a butt.

This is also an opinion.

Stu has a butt.

This is a fact.

Anyhoo, it looks like the Hunters are dropped into Raccoon City the same way the Tyrant was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYbf_BkqGwk

Well that's better than them just randomly showing up I guess, at least Slant Six are trying to make some effort, though a better efforts would have been Betas rather than Alphas.
Originally however, the Hunter Betas were driven into the city via trucks.

One question I have is why are they trying to stay so faithful story wise only to completely change the geography? Why does Leon have to run into an underground car park? Why can't the USS simply chase him down a side street to Kendo's where they could find Robert's dead body?

[Dracarys]

Because if they followed the geography of the original games you could run through every area of the games in about 5 minutes.

plus I saw the demo and the alley way to kendo's where the USS start is blocked off anyway because of the wrecked bus like in RE2.

Well obviously you wouldn't limit it to just the areas from RE2 would you?

I simply mean in that demo you could have pursued Leon towards Kendo's, down the original street from RE2 losing him on the way and come across the zombies feasting on Kendo's corpse. Something like that. Surely thats better than recreating the truck crash scene in detail then having Leon start in a completely different area which shits all over RE2.

Geography was one of the few areas even Darkside Chronicles made half an effort with.

That would be a nice little easter egg for the fans.

Edit: Anyone think we'll see Nemesis in this game?

But that involves putting in more effort from Capcom.

[Stu]

Capcom aren't developing it.

[Mr. Spencer]

Pissflaps, made a mistake there.

[Smiley]

This has the potential to be better than Outbreak by the loading times alone. ;>_>

I do, they were very quick to show off the Tyrant which makes me wonder what the surprise enemy is, I also heard in an interview a guy mention another major enemy/monster. Could be Birkin I guess but Nemesis would be cooler imo.

Here's a full playthrough of the E3 demo. You'll see Kendo's Gun Shop, the Stagla gas station, the deployment of the Hunters, and the arrival of the Tyrant.

Some of you might find this interesting, from the Inside of BHDC book:

As the so-called private police of the Umbrella Corporation, the Umbrella Special Forces were responsible for not only guarding Umbrella executives and protecting research facilities, but also took care of behind the scenes jobs that needed to remain secret. It is known that there were at least three teams - Alpha, Bravo and Delta - with several dozen members believed to be in each team. However, the team was largely wiped out with the destruction of Raccoon City, although HUNK, or "Mr. Death," managed to escape alive.

I hope Operation Raccoon City at least remains slightly faithful to the series and kills all 6 of the fuckers in the Wolfpack. The U.S.S. members seen in Outbreak (specifically in 'End of the Road') all became zombies apart from Senior Captain Rodriguez. They should suffer the same fate. I would actually consider proclaiming it as canon if it followed that.

thats probably not gonna happen.but we'll see.
