Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Has E3 2011 Game Trailer Released

By

Capcom’s upcoming game title, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, has an E3 trailer now! The squad based shooter will be available on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this winter. A spin-off of the Resident Evil franchise, gamers will assume the role of one of four members in an Umbrella security team. The trailer below doesn’t have any gameplay, but the CG trailer below looks pretty.

The game takes place during the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and is set in Raccoon City, whose residents have been turned into zombies after an outbreak of the T-virus, a biological weapon illegally developed by the pharmaceutical company Umbrella. The story is a reinterpretation of the events that occured in the original games, changing certain facts in the series. Players will take the role of either an officer of the Umbrella Security Service (USS), or a member of a United States Special Operations task-force. Both have vastly different objectives: Members of the USS are tasked with destroying evidence of Umbrella’s illegal activities, including killing survivors of the outbreak, while the Special Operations team has to expose the actions of the company. Operation Raccoon City will allow the player to make decisions that could have major repercussions on the series’ storyline, such as causing the death of Resident Evil 2 protagonist Leon S. Kennedy.
