Biohazard: Operation Raccoon City

It seems to completely break the traditional story. Not so sure about this one. I wonder if they are going to start a whole new story with this.cheynz

Someone on the steam boards told me that this is a "what if" story. I don't know how I really feel about that though. Usually when Marvel does a "what if" its in the title and for DC they put "else words" so you know from the start its not the true story. With this game there is no "what if" in the title so I worry if too many COD fan boys play than RE2 will be retconned and this will be the new canon story to appeal to the COD/shotter casual crowd.

I don't know what to think about this one yet since they haven't shown much

I already got the impression that this game won't affect the story of the orginal,i just think Capcom is trying out different things with the franchise and also trying to get newcomers into the series also.

Diffinitly something new. I get the feeling that the game will start out by some narrorating the like in the begining of 0 and it will say something like "Umbrella agents were sent to Racoon city to extract the g virus and wipe out any survivors, but something went wrong and only one agent escaped. This is the story of what would have happend if HUNKs squad completed their true objective" or something along those lines. I still don't get why they are going after Leon though. I mean its first first day on the job and he is just trying to escape the city so what could he have done wrong?

^I really could see it starts off like this but the only thing is there are 4 agents with different combat skills and weaponry that you could play as but as far as their objective goes with killing Leon i'm not really sure about that,it could be that Leon have something that they want or he's too involved in the operation as to why they gotta kill him (still not sure though)

Hmmm well maybe the agents were apart of HUNKs team that were not supposed to go into the sewers but instead stay on the surface. In the trailer they do say "shoot all offciers on site" so I guess they want to kill Leon just because he is a cop. Even though this game is non canon I do hope that it has something like black ops did where HUNK will be in a chair talking to some higher up and they will be saying " you partly failed in Raccoon city, was was you main objective" and than the game is HUNK telling what should have happened.

i really try not to think of the story at this time

i rather want to think of the gameplay and it needs to be special instead of the same average 4 player coop game

i hope they have mechanics like vector"increases in great SIZE and MAGNITUDE(lol dispicable me)" can call in ammo drops, turn invisible, stab stuff, and unlock special umbrella stockpiles use slilenced weapons

beltway uses big guns can pick up zombies and use them as javelines, lay bombs, then use explosive ordinance disposal stuff like drones, and hack mini games have increased melee damage

bertha can shoot BOWs in special weak points, have extra healing abilities, use a Bad-blam bonesaw, possibly use somesort of antizombie gas among other things

spectre uses scoped guns heat goggles xray goggles the ability to throw a rapell line up to fire escapes to get a vantage point or better yet rapell through windows to flank people and such.

and another thing i should bring up in my wish list is the weapons

i hope they use the ability to change your equipment so your not stuck with the same exact gun but with better stats,because to me variety is better than super guns for example i play through re5 and 4 without upgrading the guns because its more fun
