Come to Raccoon City for the View, Stay for the Buckets of Blood

Capcom and Slant Six, obviously afraid that you might think their team-based shooter is light on the action, have dropped a trailer of concentrated brutality for Operation Raccoon City.

Will this spin-off mirror the bump-in-the-night scares from Resident Evil’s PlayStation days?  When you shove a grenade into a zombie’s mouth to make a crimson firework, no, you’re not likely to fear the night.  It’s a lot like jumping from Romero’s Dawn of the Dead to Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead; less dread, more bullets.  Some loyalists will embrace, newcomers will probably eat it up, and purists…Well, purists are liable shit all over it.  Hopefully ORC doesn’t give them cause to.

If you can adjust, you’re in for some licker kicking fun.  (Re)visit Raccoon March 20th on the PS3 and 360, or May 18th for the PC.
