Slant Six Responds To Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Reviews
The studio behind Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City said the critical reception of the game was polarizing. Speaking in an interview with Eurogamer, Slant Six producer Micheal Kerr said the team "accomplished what Capcom wanted us to do."
"A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into the game and obviously we'd like to see the review scores be a little better than they are right now," Kerr said. "In the end, I think our position on it is that we read every review and we try to pull out all the constructive feedback that we can so we can learn a little about what people liked and what they didn't.
"Then we look to what our internal goals were and what Capcom asked us to do and I think we accomplished what they wanted to do - we took the Resident Evil franchise in a different direction," he added.
Kerr continued by saying the team has received a lot of positive e-mail from fans about the game and that it was a great experience working with Capcom.
"So, there's good and bad, but that's to be expected with every launch," he said. "We'd obviously love the review scores to be a bit higher, but we're really happy with the fan response."
