Oh Capcom. The only interesting part of the series now is with their goddamn remakes.

It was an abysmal RE game. And a pretty bad non-RE game.

Real head scratcher. I thought they were going to say Re7. Who wants this?

Nobody bought Operation Racoon City... Did they?

I'm willing to give it a chance, but I'm more interested in co-op than competitive. Need way more info, though. Resident Evil 6's multiplayer modes were actually fun, and if there's a good combat system like that and some B.O.W.'s thrown mix, it could be some dumb fun.
Operation Raccoon City sold 3 million copies though, so hardly surprising. Least we have a REmake of 2 and a Remaster of Zero coming.

Unfortunately, it sold really well the first time. Better than the other projects recently (over 2 million at least).

So ORC was no enough for them to get the idea, they have to try again.
I'm sure they were all thrilled with their purchase and will be eagerly anticipating a follow-up.
ORC was a dreadful experiment that should have been condemned to irrelevance forever. Think of the money being wasted on this game that could be put into making the quality mainline RE that everybody wants.

Can't wait.
Might be a Left 4 Dead game I've been waiting for since 2009.

Operation Raccoon City sold 3-4 million copies by this, point, fyi for those wondering if ORC taught them anything.
Ill give it a chance. OTC was one of my least favorite RE games, but it was actually alright once I gave it a chance. The DLC campaign was a shit ton better than the main campaign,though.

Is a spin-off, this not replacing RE7. Why people so mad?

This cements to me the idea they can't afford to make Resi 7 =/

And yet it still sold something like 2.4 million copies. That must have sent a strong enough message for them to commission another.
I'm sure it taught them that they can slap the RE brand on a turd and still make money.
But they have worked long and hard on a new 20th anniversary logo.
The announcement at TGS was Final Fantasy 7 PS4 port level troll.
"It's the 20th anniversary! We wanted to make a game worthy of that! Have a multiplayer shooter..."
The price bombed pretty hard pretty quick though. I'm sure Aliens Colonial Marines sold around that, but I'm wondering how many were the £5 copies.

If they can keep the new RE stuff in this type of game and mimic their older style games in the main games, it's a worthy trade off. However, if they don't, screw this.

That's why the 2 best selling CAPCOM games, ever, are Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil 5.

It sold through the initial shipment pretty fast and got 300k shortly afterwards. Source: Capcom platinum titles IR page.
Ah fair enough. Wonder how this will do after ORC and 6 came out, I don't think they can slap the brand on anything and have it sell anymore, so I'm hoping it doesn't do well IF the quality isn't there. If it turns out good and does well, then awesome.

You had my attention until I read the part about competitive multiplayer.

In the trailer, when they show a lot of screens, I spotted Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 1 locations as battle arenas.
Also, the combat looks RE6 inspired.
EDIT:
^RE4 village as an example.
