Gamin' NEWS! Capcom announces new RE game

Capcom just announced a new Biohazard title, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon!


It will be a team-based third-person shooter. It appears that the game will primarily be played by two four-person teams, who are competing against each other while simultaneously dealing with zombies and other Bio-Organic Weapons.


The game will offer a number of competitive online multiplayer modes.
Despite the game's cooperative focus, it will be playable in some sort of solo format, as well.

All of these potential modes are to be set in September 1998, covering events within the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis timeline, but not the one you’re familiar with. Operation Raccoon City is a “reinterpretation” of the events depicted in both games, introducing another T-Virus outbreak in the fabled city and the two new squads: the Umbrella Secret Services and US spec ops.
Oh, and Leon's back apparently.

Raccoon City is slated for a release this winter across the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.



Well...
I knew there was a serious lack of spinoffs lately with this franchise...
Seriously, they used to make a ton more before!
