    SOCOM guys making new Resident Evil

    Because video game rumors, typically related to Capcom games, always come true.

    http://kotaku.com/5678986/rumor-resi...-of-socom-team

    The developer is responsible for SOCOM:U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for the PlayStation 3 as well as two iterations for the PSP, Tactical Strike and Fireteam Bravo 3. Named (or codenamed) in the document as Resident Evil: Raccoon City, Slant Six looks to be staffing up to bring even more zombie game development to Vancouver.

    When contacted for comment, publisher reps said "Capcom does not respond to rumors and/or speculation."

    Slant Six Games writes on its official web site that it is currently in development on "an amazing new project" that is unannounced. That project is being developed in conjunction with a "new publishing partner on a world class franchise." Several Slant Six current and former employees list an unannounced "multiplayer action game" for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on their LinkedIn profiles.

    In March of this year, Slant Six solicited work for a "Japanese translator/interpreter."

    Capcom has looked outside of Japan for help on some of its better known franchises, including GRIN (Bionic Commando), Ninja Theory (Devil May Cry) and Blue Castle Games (Dead Rising 2), another Vancouver based studio that had its zombie project leaked well in advance.
    I, for one, welcome the return of a Resident Evil: Outbreak-style game.

    Unless it is just some watered-down squad-based thing where you play as Carlos and Mikhail from RE3. :V

        You never see anything going anywhere fun... Though, I kind of agree with you on this one.

          As long as you can actually talk to team mates, and not be forced to figure out little bs puzzles to make everyone wait because someone has an item that they don't know what to do with, an online RE game could work.

          I loved the Outbreak games, but they were really flawed with multiplayer.


          Also, Slant Six isn't the original developer of Socom, and a lot of fans pretty much hated what they did with Confrontation. Though personally, I didn't think it was that bad, but playing Confrontation as my first Socom game online only made it very hard to learn things.

            Yeah, I always had the impression that Confrontation sucked ass. I have good memories of Socom 3.

            Outbreak made me frustrated. I never got to try online and I never completed the game. How this is going to turn out I have no idea.

              With Mora. If they want RE to succeed, why don't they hand it back to the RE4 team.

                  I'd love a current gen RE Outbreak. But I'd prefer it on Wii, since I have one. But oh well.

                    Meanwhile Leon is still a robot in the new CG movie.

                      Um.

                      Raccoon City is possibly one of the greatest game settings of all time.

                      I fully endorse this.

                          Call me old fashioned, but I'd prefer a new RE game that played like the originals 1-3. Don't get me wrong 4 was decent and 5 wasn't terrible, but in my opinion the series hasn't felt like an RE game since 3.

                              Hitting this Winter, gamers will be able to get their hands on Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Our friends over at the Official Xbox Magazine have the official cover story this month, and while we'll list a few details, you'll have to pick up their May issue to find out everything!

                              - The game takes place in 1998, a time where Resident Evil fans already know what's set to take place. The title lets you enjoy the series from a new perspective, as the men and women who are technically responsible for it all.

                              - Rather than continuing the zombie slaying antics of BSAA agents, you're taken back to the original outbreak "that underscored both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis."

                              - The game doesn't require any crazy amounts of knowledge of the past titles or characters involved in the series. The title opens up to a "quartet of new faces". Essentially, you're playing as members of the official Umbrella Security Services squad.

                              - Operation Raccoon City is a team-based shooter allowing four members of the USS team to destroy all evidence of the ongoing outbreak. Along with slaying the zombies, you're looking to "kill pretty much every survivor possible".

                              - The gameplay is described as "dirty", and the series will feel much darker than it has up to this point.

                              - The game features three factions that Capcom has stated make up a "three-corner conflict". The other two factions are the US Spec Ops, who are there to repel the USS, and the "bio-organic weapon monsters (BOWs) created by Umbrella.

                              - The USS team is made up of the following characters: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre. Depending on which character you choose, the responsibilities that you're asked to do within your team will variate.

                              - Hunk, first seen in Resident Evil 2 as a hidden character, is the inspiration behind the USS team.

                              - "Whichever team you play on, you'll be facing Umbrella-created horrors in between skirmishes with each other".

                              - Zombies in the game can sense you in three different manners: sight, sound, and smell.

                              - A situation is described in the game where Vector cloaks himself to stir up previously slumbering zombies to use against the Special Ops military foes.

                              - Quite a few scenarios in the game aren't "all about headshots". A quote in the article states, "It's about shooting the other soldiers - manipulating them, making them bleed."

                              - The game will take you through a number of familiar areas if you're a Resident Evil junkie who remembers your journey to Raccoon City.

                              - Operation Raccoon City, depending on how you play the game, will give you the option to "change the history of Resident Evil". Not only will you have the chance to meet and interact with various characters from the series, but you'll even have the opportunity to kill them.

                              - One of the mottos repeated to OXM throughout the demo was "Kill Leon". It's also stated that if you choose to represent in the game as the Special Ops team, that you'd more than likely have the goal of trying to save Leon Kennedy.

                              - Slant Six or Capcom won't reveal if any other characters will be playable in the title just yet, but it'd make sense to see quite a few big cameos.
                              The title will still see players relying on collecting herbs to heal from any attacks you may suffer. You won't need to hoard any herbs, but they'll still benefit you to collect them throughout the game.

                              - "This is not a one-versus-one game where you've got one clip full of ammo and zombies on you. If you've ever thought of those times in an RE game when you thought, 'I'd wish I had a big gun', that's what this game is. It's not fair to give people big guns, then take all the ammo away."

                              - One of the pictures in the article showcases a zombie being used as a "meatshield".

                              - Operation Raccoon City allows players to earn XP for kills, with these points helping you survive the onslaught, and to help to encourage you to anihilate everything in your path.

                              - The XP will allow you to earn new abilities, such as Vector's cloaking skill, and new weapons.

                              - Tyrants will most definitely be included in the title.

                              There's a ton of details listed above, but there's even more listed in the May 2011 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine.
