This Is What I Want From The Next Multiplayer Resident Evil

Capcom’s two experiments with a multiplayer-centric Resident Evil haven’t been terribly successful. The first Outbreak sold well, but the reviews weren’t all that great and its sequel sold half as well, essentially killing the series until Operation Raccoon City came along. Unfortunately, ORC doesn’t really share much with the Outbreak series outside of four-player co-op. Read on for what I’d like to see Capcom do with the next multiplayer Resident Evil, whether it ends up being the long-requested Outbreak File #3 or an Operation Raccoon City sequel.

Finish The Fight With Operation Raccoon City’s Final Spec Ops DLC, Available Now

Whether or not you’re a fan of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, something they definitely got right was how the DLC was managed. The strategy of handing out bite-sized portions of action a few weeks apart to keep us playing the game with some extra weapons sprinkled on in case you’re looking to spice up your arsenal is a good one. The first Spec Ops mission was free and was followed by the first batch of paid missions a few short weeks later, and for those of us who wish to finish the Spec Ops story you can do so now with the final Spec Ops mission pack. The four-player co-op is where it’s at with this game (mainly because the Versus mode sucks) and it looks like they’re fully aware of this. Now if only Capcom could learn to stop charging players for multiplayer modes–you have to pay for the Nemesis mode in ORC, similarly to the Versus mode in RE5–because that cuts the available players when searching for a game by a lot. If you want to see how the Spec Ops campaign ends I suggest you make sure you have $10, or 800 Microsoft Party Girls available and go check it out.

Surprise, Surprise: Operation Raccoon City Sold Well In Japan

It looks like even a lukewarm reception hasn’t stopped Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City’s hordes of undead from infecting the Japanese audience, as the game has managed to sell 252,525 copies on the PS3 and 16,285 on the Xbox 360, which translates to over 80% of its shipment. It even managed to outsell the far superior Resident Evil: Revelations, that managed to shift 158,012 copies–an impressive number itself–during its first week on sale. Operation Raccoon City also managed to claim the number two spot on the UK charts after its first week, beating out Mass Effect 3 and Modern Warfare 3. That’s good news for fans, assuming it’s able to keep the momentum going for awhile. It’s not a great game, but it’s not terrible either. I know that’s really not a glowing recommendation, the best thing I can say about it is it’s good fun when you play it with a few friends. Just don’t play it alone. You deserve better than that.

That first Spec Ops mission, which you can download for free right now, was just a small taste of what you can expect from the Spec Ops campaign. It’s an appetizer, if you will, and today we’re getting more of the main course. I finally got the chance to play Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City last weekend and while I definitely went in with some insanely low expectations, thanks in no small part to TJ’s pseudo-rant on the game, I actually had some fun with it. It’s not great, in fact, it’s a struggle for me to even call it a good game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun with it. After beating the USS campaign I reluctantly decided to download and check out the lone Spec Ops mission, and I had more fun fighting Nemesis as the good guys than I did getting my ass kicked by Leon and Claire as the bad guys.

Welcome to the first post on the newly redesigned Dead Pixels. We were working on this new layout long before the movies, music, and comics sections got in on it. Really, what I’m getting at is TJ and I are trendsetters. But enough about us, let’s talk about Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. The game’s first DLC is just around the corner, and it brings with it seven brand spanking new missions for the US Spec Ops squad. Look for this free DLC on April 10th for the Xbox 360 and PS3. I also suggest you mosey on over to the trailer and batch of screenshots I have waiting patiently for you past the break. READ MORE

Slant Six Comments On Operation Raccoon City’s Lukewarm Reception

It’s no secret Operation Raccoon City has its fair share of issues. The game sits comfortably at a 53 on Metacritic — just a few points higher than The Duke’s latest outing I might add — and now developer Slant Six has confronted their game’s lukewarm reception in an interview with Eurogamer.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City really isn’t the type of game you should tackle alone. It was built with four-player co-op in mind, and even if you’re insanely good at shooters — and I’m sure you are, you talented minx — the AI is entirely uncommitted to helping the team survive the many encounters with enemy soldiers, the undead, and various B.O.W.’s that like to stand between you and your goal. Something else you should know about this game is it’s glitchy as fuck.

It looks like the first DLC for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, due later this month, will be free of charge. It’s an all-new mission for the Spec Ops mode where you enter Raccoon City as a member of the Spec Ops team. Your team’s goal is to find the source of the virus that decimated Raccoon City, but that’s going to be difficult with the U.S.S., B.O.W.’s, and hordes of the undead all standing between you and your team’s goals.

While most preorder bonuses usually include things like unlockable weapons and character skins, like a badass costume inspired by Ash from Evil Dead for example, Capcom’s offering a very different incentive to preorder the upcoming Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. The first 1,000 people to preorder the game at the Capcom store will receive an extremely display-worthy sign. Check it out below.

Yesterday we got familiar with the soldiers in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, and in this newly released gameplay video we get a look at another character in the game: Nemesis. That’s right, he’s back and sporting that nifty forearm-mounted rail gun from Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I would’ve preferred the RE3 Nemesis, complete with tentacle arms, but I’m a known supporter of more tentacle action in video games, so I could be a little bias.

Capcom released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, a game I can now say is coming next month. This video’s a little different from the previous one because it focuses more on the various members of the US Spec Ops and USS (Umbrella Security Service) teams, and their abilities. There are some powers shown off in the trailer, and after watching through it I’ve decided I’ll be playing as Party Girl. Why? Because I like to party.

Resident Evil 6 might be the thing that’s on everyone’s mind right now, but that doesn’t mean we should forget about the second Resident Evil due to be released this year, Operation Raccoon City. If the recent cinematic trailer is anything to go by, this game looks pretty intense. You want to know what’s also really intense? Try going out of your way for a particularly tough cheevo, for starters. It took me awhile before I started caring about my gamerscore, but now it’s a symbol of my nerd cred, my mad gamer skills, and a symbol of my complete lack of a social life.

One of the many, many games that are preparing to come out in what could very possibly be a fantastic year for horror is Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Last year started with a bang, giving us Dead Space 2, and this year is looking equally as great with two Resident Evil games coming out in the first quarter of the year.

How Does A Half Hour’s Worth of Operation Raccoon City Gameplay Sound?

We prematurely evaluated Operation Raccoon City back in April and decided it had promise. I placed the game right above Doom 3 in how I thought it’d turn out when it releases later this year but after seeing some gameplay at E3 and the 30+ minutes you can watch below, I’m starting to have some serious doubts. My issue is that this game just doesn’t look like much fun. But before I get into that you should watch the below video.

Back? Good. When this game was first unveiled I was pretty damn exciting. It looked like a return to the series’ roots, with the Raccoon City setting, return of the zombies, and a darker story. But really, I just haven’t been able to warm up to the characters that are either too generic, like Beltway the bulky explosives expert, or border on the comical, like Bertha, the team’s resident dominatrix. Head past the break for over thirty more minutes of gameplay and to hear me rant a little longer. READ MORE

E3: An Outbreak of New Operation Raccoon City Gameplay

Category: Games / News

Fresh from E3 today Capcom revealed some new gameplay for the highly anticipated Outbreak style spinoff, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. The jump in quality not just in the visuals but the amount of detail in the environments set in the crumbling Raccoon City since we last saw the game in action is obvious. The best thing about these videos is they give us a much better taste of what to expect when we’re playing the game; it’s over the shoulder, the melee combat is nice and violent, and the cover system seems well implemented (though there’s only so much you can glean without playing it hands-on).

That was Bertha, the USS’ resident dominatrix, in action, and after the jump you’ll find a bunch more details on the game as well as another gameplay video (spoiler: it has lickers!) READ MORE

It would seem Capcom just can’t seem to keep their trailers for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City contained (the game’s debut also leaked online the day before it was supposed to). Now the game’s E3 premier has been posted on a gaming site from across the pond, and while the trailer is entirely CG – sorry folks, no gameplay here, it’s action-packed and showcases the strengths of each the USS’s four members.

Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of the game in action, rather than one CG trailer after another. Sure, they look good, but we’ve only had a brief taste of how it’s shaping up so far and I’d really like to see more. READ MORE
