Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Hits the PC in May
According to Shacknews, PC gamers will be blessed with another incarnation of the Resident Evil franchise this May 18th. In typical Capcom fashion the console versions will be out a few months earlier on March 20th. Those who wait for the PC version will get increased visual fidelity and NVIDIA 3D Vision support, so you can weigh your options accordingly. ORC features a four-player campaign and eight-player online team battles in the middle of the titular city. Capcom has no plans to release a demo of the game. For canon nerds, it does take place between the second and third games, but Capcom is careful not to put too fine a point on that. Producer Masachika Kawata recently called it a "world of what-ifs," so the publisher clearly isn't ready to put this stake in the ground as an official part of Resident Evil's history. No word of a PC benchmark as of yet.

Lost Planet 2 on PC had one of the most complete PC porting experiences I'd ever seen. It had a litany of DX11 technical options and was stable/almost impossible to crash as long as your GPU was up to the task. And I still lament to this day it not being used very often in benchmarks of the latest GPUs. It's DX11 mode maxed out is still relatively brutal on GPUs that can't hack it.
I consider LP2, DMC4 (another Capcom port done in the same quality vein as LP2) Saints 3rd and maybe Darksiders on PC as the quintessential examples of multiplat porting done right. Any game that aims to imitate the porting quality of these titles is a game to watch for.
I've been playing Resident Evil since day one (1997)
So good to see the old Raccoon city the best of Resident Evil games.
Just saw this comes out the day after my b-day. Thats gonna be a sweet gift to me. Oooo Yeeeaaaaah
Gas price is relative to the period the game was from. That literally was the prices back then. Heck where I live, they were even lower. Got to sub .80c per 9/10 here.
