Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a game that’s seemingly polarized the series’ fanbase since news broke out detailing the type of game it would be. At first, everyone was ecstatic about returning to the iconic city, in a game that might have been less lenient on action-packed affairs than Resident Evil 5. We ended up learning who was behind the title (Slant Six) and what the team would be bringing to the table for this squad-based third person shooter. Fans were split. But at the end of the day, one can’t deny the strong connections ORC does in fact have with the overall series– despite the game enabling players the ability to alter certain events in the lore.
What connections, I hear you ask? Well, the video below should help you see just what I’m talking about. And really, if you’ve been keeping up with all of our coverage of the game to date, then this shouldn’t really be all that new to you. From green herbs, crimson heads, and other classic BOWs to big baddies like William and Nemesis, there’s actually a lot for RE fans to be excited about here– if they’re willing to give the game a chance, of course.
