Disappointed with Operation: Raccoon City so far.

It...looks like SOCOM with zombies.

I mean I like the idea of you getting wounded and attracting the zombies, but the guy who was wounded in the video just swatted them off 'till he auto-healed and carried on mowing down everyone else. He didn't even need the help of his team-mates.

Couldn't they at least have his team-mates defend him while he patches himself up?

And everyone just seems to be in the same area, but not working as a team. They're just shooting things and advancing. I think if the rest of the game is basically shooting everything in your path with no team-work/reliance on your squad-mates then I think this was a wasted opportunity.

I think where Left 4 Dead pretty much guaranteed you won't survive alone for longer than a minute, I at least expected this game to have some kind of squad splitting enemies, where one member is isolated and you have to halt the mission to go save him. Instead I get SOCOM.

Overreacting and jumping to conclusions on an early build? You bet. Thoughts?

Wait a minute... Are they moving while shooting? I call shenanigans.

Considering the video ended with one guy going rambo and getting killed fairly quickly, I'd say your worries are unfounded. These were clearly new players who were unfamiliar with the game, and their lack of teamwork really showed. Harder difficulties with less ammo and harder or more numerous enemies will definitely test teamwork, from what I can see.

I want to like it because they're taking it in a different direction, but no matter how optimistic I try to be it just seems like the whole thing was a terrible fucking idea that should have stayed as some sort of shitty fanfiction.

I'll get a broom.

OT: I hate Resident Evil games but boy does this one look fun!

 

[Suicidal_Ferret]

My issue is that in the original RE games, they were zombies that only died to headshots. And yet, in this video, you can see that shots to chest are killing them.

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

Yeah, it doesn't look anything at all like a Resident Evil game. But I guess they're trying to go into a new direction, I mean they have done this in the past with on-rails shooters and Code: Veronica (was that the FPS one?) So going pure action is fine, it looks fun as hell, and could tie in to one of the special forces clean & sweep operations that take place after a zombie outbreak. The looking for Leon part I'm still not sure about, if this is set that far back in the saga that he's still in the RCPD, what's so special about him?

I would like a good survival horror besides DeadSpace or Amnesia someday but that seems to be a dead genre. A pity they only implemented the moving and shooting mechanic so late in the series. You're right, it does look like SOCOM with zombies though =P But all games involving zombies now seem like another Dead Rising or L4D. I'm still very keen to play this, though it reminds me a lot of Lost Planet.

That's the whole point. It was developed by Slant Six, the guys who made SOCOM.

I don't think this looks all that great either, but at least it's shaping up to be better than RE 5. I just wish they got rid of that Bertha girl. Her accent drives me insane!

No, no that's not the point at all. When Nintendo employed Team Ninja for Metroid, they didn't want them to make Ninja Gaiden in space, they wanted them to give them something different while borrowing from their previous title.

Most of the Resi games are survival horror, or tense action, and I'm just saying that since this is in a setting where survival was pretty damn hard, these guys appear comfortable. Rather than SOCOM with zombies, they could've given me something more squad-mate reliant.

I wanted to see them struggle a bit more, it wasn't interesting enough.

As long as its actual co-op. I mean needed to work together to survive, in that case I see some potentially where this could be fun
