Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, a collaboration between Capcom
and Vancouver-based studio Slant 6 Games, is scheduled for release this
winter. This latest offering will take the series in a whole new
direction and offer a style of play that cannot yet be seen from the
franchise. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City offers a true
third-person team-based shooting experience within the dark and sinister
Resident Evil universe. The setting of the Resident Evil universe not
only provides a rich backdrop to the action, but offers a unique and
exciting triple threat battle. Zombies and bio-organic weaponries (BOW)
add to the mix as players not only compete against the opposite team on
their team, They also address this unpredictable third element that
could only exist in the twisted Resident Evil universe, creating a new
style of play and breaking the conventions of traditional team-based
shooters. It's September 1998 and the action centers on the unlucky
Raccoon City and the dire consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak.
With required cover, Umbrella orders an elite team in Raccoon City to
destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate to any
survivor. Meanwhile, the United States government has quarantined the
city and dispatched its own team of elite soldiers to determine the
source of the mysterious outbreak. Players take on the role of an
Umbrella Security Service (USS) soldier,
