Resident Evil Games that Should Not Be Remade
Operation Raccoon City
Another spin-off better off left behind, Operation Raccoon City continued the trend for a more action-oriented Resident Evil game. This particular title was actually a re-imagining of the second game, featuring some pretty familiar faces.
Unlike the Resident Evil 2 remake, however, Operation Raccoon City was about a group of paramilitary elite Umbrella mercenaries.
Apart from its frantic gameplay, this game actually had an infection system that kicks in whenever a member of your team is bitten. Once the infection spreads without being treated, your member will turn on your crew and attack them until he or she dies. Moreover, there are even certain modes that let players control monsters.
Unfortunately, these interesting ideas are bogged down by its overall poor design and heavy emphasis on action. Operation Raccoon City felt more like a Resident Evil game by name alone rather than keeping the same spirit the series is known for.
Even the devs had a tough time accepting the criticism but noted that they had at least accomplished what Capcom wanted for the game.
