E3 2002: Resident Evil 0 News

New screens and first information FROM the latest title in the survival
We managed to get a brief playtest of the latest title in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 0. Resident Evil Ø begins in July of 1998 in the suburbs of Raccoon City, a small town located in the Midwest. Several reported incidences of people being eaten by a strange creature have surfaced. The Raccoon city police department viewed the terrible murders as a top priority and quickly decided to send in a special task force, the S.T.A.R.S Bravo team. As the team heads to the scene of the murders, the helicopter that was transporting them begins to have mechanical problems, eventually crashing deep into the forest surrounding Raccoon City. While the Bravo Team was successful in escaping from the crash, they had lost all of their equipment and weapons. As they began to gather their wits, the team saw a shocking image. Before them lay a half-destroyed, over-turned transport truck with corpses of several navy officers that had been gruesomely killed and mangled. Under orders from Commander Enrico, the Bravo Team began investigating the disappearance of Captain Billy Cowen, one of the officers who was supposed to be in the over-turned transport yet his remains cannot be found. Little does the Bravo Team know that this investigation is the beginning of a horrific nightmare?
From our brief playtest its fair to say Resident Evil 0 plays just like other titles in the series, the character swapping system allows you to switch instantaneously between characters, if either character dies itâs game over, so the action is more frantic then previous titles, as you find yourself having to help each other to progress through the game . We also saw a number of scenes where both characters were fighting side-by-side, eliminating some of the loneliness found in Resident Evil titles.
Visually the game contains the same level of detail as the recently released remake of Resident Evil, once again dynamic lighting and shadows are added to the pre-rendered backdrops to create some truly creepy locations. The game seems to allow more characters on-screen then in Resident Evil, which has had the effect of increasing the amount of action going on.
Capcom were staying relatively quiet regarding specific details, however weâll be taking a closer look very soon.
