Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

I disagree.They do indicate something... if gamers in the UK fell for this game, imagine how things went here in America. Where we're all suppose to be dumb and stupid for things that go KA-BOOM and pew, pew, pew.

My prediction: It will be at #1 or #2 on the NPD charts

And when that happens, Kawata's vindication will be complete.

There's no way to tell if someone fell for something. New titles are generally almost always in the top sales figures for at least the week they are released. Revelations was too. That is generally the peak sales period for anything. It only goes down from there, except in rare cases.

Going back to the game itself, I had a nice chuckle looking at the pictures in Chief Irons office.

Hate this guys vids, they just aren't funny.

I noticed lots of little things from other games. In some rooms in City Hall for example are images taken from Code Veronica of the Ashford line, the exact images used in the puzzle room where you hit the switches under the paintings.

^ Yep, I saw the first few and thought, "Those sure look familiar", then I found the portrait of Alfred. Also, Iolz at Irons sporting long hair.

Yep, it's a shame. However, considering the other iconic locations (hospital, Birkin's lab) that Slant Six "recreated," maybe it's a good thing.

...Except in rare cases. There you go. That's all it takes. That lil' window of opportunity for something like this to take off.

When did this place become 4chan?

you would be surprised at how many of the THIA staff quite enjoy the X Files-- Enetirnel

BTW, I was going more for a NeoGaf thing than 4chan.

[Archelon]

I love the X-Files as much as the next person, but that doesn't really have anything to do with my comment.

Also, neogaf isn't much better than 4chan.

And posting images with no pedobear or some camwhore on it has little to do with 4chan. But most of it, having to do with me liking X-Files and looking for an excuse to post that cheezburger.com image.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

P.S. the RE soccer game sounds better than that video.

Spec Ops Missions Spoilers:

Credit to Ultimate-RE

I had to rely on a translator, so if some of the information is incorrect or misunderstood, I apologize in advance.

Utilizing audio files that were discovered on the Operation Raccoon City disc, Ultimate-RE has pieced together a rough outline of the DLC Spec Ops missions. I am not sure at this point if this includes all of the missions that will be released, or just the first one (or two). I will be enclosing the information in spoiler tags so that those who wish to go in fresh will be able to.

Spoiler:

First things first, it appears the true mission of the Spec Ops is to retrieve William Birkin and escort him out of the city into government custody. However, they are advised by their CO to not reveal this information to anyone, so when they encounter Jill and she asks them what they're doing there, they tell her that their mission is to rescue survivors and collect evidence implicating Umbrella in the outbreak.

After meeting Jill and, presumably, fending off Nemesis, the team heads to City Hall, believing that it will offer clues and information regarding Umbrella's involvement. While there, they discover video footage of the USS, alerting the Spec Ops to the opposition. Whether the footage is of Wolfpack or the generic USS grunts you will likely be facing during the campaign is unknown. They also find plans that disclose the location of Umbrella's underground laboratory, and their CO orders them to infiltrate the lab via the sewers.

Somewhere along the way, possibly in the sewers, the Spec Ops run into Claire, and she asks them to help her find Sherry, who has gone missing. The CO says finding Sherry might ultimately aid the team in locating and extracting William, because they have not heard from him since before the outbreak. Once Sherry is located and reunited with Claire, another team of Spec Ops escort them outside of the city (I would wager specifically the train yard from the final USS mission).

The Spec Ops arrive at the underground laboratory but must ultimately destroy it (or a part of it) to contain a threat they encounter (possibly Birkin?). They are then contacted by their CO, informing them that all contact has been lost with the team that was escorting Claire and Sherry, and they need to head to their last known coordinates to protect them, as well as Leon, from the USS. This seems to be the final battle from the USS campaign, but this time you're protecting Leon, Claire, and Sherry from the USS and aren't given an option to save or kill them. Afterwards, the trio are taken into protective custody.

After this, there is one last mission for the Spec Ops. They are ordered to move to the Dead Factory (the P12-A factory from the USS campaign), and it is here where you will get to play through the battle between the Spec Ops and T-103s, the aftermath of which Jill witnesses at the end of RE3. You will be faced with several T-103s, and you will have to utilize the Paracelsus' Sword rail cannon to defeat all of them. One player will operate the cannon, while the other players will have to fend off the T-103s as well as operate the various levers and switches which power the cannon.

This is apparently where the mission ends.

Feel free to discuss, but you might want to use spoiler tags just to be safe.

Nice job Archelon! Thanks for translating!

While I do think this information (if true) will lead to a more interesting campaign than the sub-par USS one, it seems that Slant Six really is so lazy as to re-use locales from the USS campaign. If true, we might get one new location (sewers) but will have to trek through most of the boring Slant Six versions of prior locations (Birkin's lab, dead factory, the underwhelming and completely out-of-place city hall). Still, the "story" angle with Claire/Sherry and Jill/Nemesis may be interesting, if it's done better than the crap we got in the USS campaign. And I must say that if the last mission is true, that's actually pretty cool.

I think the biggest question now is that aside from the first mission, how much do you guys think they'll charge per mission? Considering the campaign is considered by many to be the weakest part of the retail version, I think they'd be making a mistake if they overprice it.

Thoughts?

I could see capcom charging like 10 euro or 15 for a dlc but i know i wont be buying any of them my view is now set for resident evil 6

[Darkmoon]

So, I had no idea they'd also decided that the internal areas of buildings needed a shift around. How bad are Birkin's Lab, the Dead Factory and Hospital now?

That isn't unreasonable for the entire campaign. Still, I'll wait until all this shit gets lobbed into a bonus edition and sells for way cheaper than it is now. Two years down the line? Fine by me.

Based on the videos I've watched, a few of the key locations from Birkin's lab (main shaft, furnace, B5 control room) are still present but are much larger than in RE2/Outbreak. The hospital may as well have been a brand new location, since it has nothing in common with the canon version. As for the dead factory, I'm not sure; haven't seen that mission yet.
