Reviews of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City were not kind. It opened to terrible reviews, especially for a title releasing under that name and publisher. "Not worth playing," and "a mediocre slog with annoying difficulty spikes," is the appraisal of Kotaku's Evan Narcisse, in his review.
As if Resident Evil 5, with its alternative controls and albino zombies on motorbikes, wasn't different enough. Upcoming Resident Evil 6 is going to be even more different.
First unveiled last year as a Kotaku rumor, Resident Evil: Raccoon City was made official this morning by Capcom, who verifies the new take on the survival horror series hits the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this winter.

Following in the trail blazed by Dead Rising 2, the next Resident Evil game may come from the Great White North. SOCOM developer Slant Six Games could be the latest studio tapped by Capcom to create its games.
