Gamin' NEWS! Survival horror, ahoy!


It's time to check out some news regarding upcoming Survival Horror titles~
First up, the classic franchise Resident Evil will be back with the new installment Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City!



I'm glad to see so many familiar faces!

Awesome! Glad too this shaping up nicely^^

Also, yay! The "real" Jill Valentine! I missed her^^

Carlos' got a brand new face it seems. And HUNK!! Heck Yeah!!


This co-op squad-based shooter is looking sharp, for a release date on March 20 next year.

Next up, a newcomer!

Amy is another upcoming survival horror, a more classic one developed by a fresh new French-based studio. VectorCell is developing and the title will be published by Lexis Numerique. (in most of EU at least).


Unlike the recent Resident Evils by Capcom, the approach is less focused on action (which is a great thing!) and more on tension and suspense, and horror itself.

And what is exactly this title's own gimmick (like most iterations of the genre tend to do)?
Amy will mix dark survival horror with one long cooperative escort mission.
The traditional zombies will, of course, be part of the threat here, once again.

Story wise it's settings take place in 2034. Lana, our main character, is (and I quote:) "a gal that is starting to turn zombie from a space virus that crashed into her home town. She gets help with her condition from an unlikely partner, an eight-year-old autistic girl named Amy. When Amy is around, the inner zombie calms down."

Here's a trailer which showcases the gameplay. Fighting won't be the main aspect here for a change. Stealth and careful planning will be the key word here.



And one more, an earlier trailer:



And the original trailer from this august:




So far it's looking great!
The camera looks a tad awkward for now, and the gameplay's a bit stiff, but the developing team's a bit rough so far and I'm sure the more concerning problems will be fixed in time no doubt.
The game will be out next year on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3!
