About the Game

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a third-person shooter and a spin-off of the long-running Resident Evil series. Unlike the main games in the series, it is less of a survival horror game and more of an action-packed shooter, also prompted by the involvement of Slant Six Games , known for its titles in the militaristic SOCOM series. The game is not part of the series' canon and details a hypothetical scenario set in September 1998 around the same time as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis . Players control a member of the USS (Umbrella Security Service) Delta team, nicknamed Wolfpack, as they're sent into the Umbrella Raccoon City facility to neutralize Dr.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Next to a primary and a secondary weapon they all have a different playing style and both passive and active abilities tied to their class. Spectre for instance has a threat scanner to scan nearby enemies, biothermal vision, sonar vision, item detection, and proximity detection (large min-map). The weapons are also selected from a large arsenal with similar unlocks. The game is played from a third-person perspective and combines shooting with cover mechanics. You control a single character as the other team members are controlled by the AI.
