See Umbrella Corps in action in this developer gameplay video

Umbrella Corps
A new gameplay video showcasing the new close quarters combat that makes Umbrella Corps something altogether new for the Resident Evil series is now available. In the video you can see two squads from the development team in Capcom Japan duke it out in some 3 vs. 3 competitive team battles in the third-person shooter’s One Life Match Mode. In this mode, players must defeat the opposing team wihin a fast paced 3-minute time limit without any option to re-spawn.

Voice-over commentary from the team provides insight on some of the tactics used by the experts and spotlights the exclusive features specific to Umbrella Corps. Whether it’s aggressive firing, finding new paths by lifting shutter doors, utilizing the analog cover system, flanking the enemy in careful coordination, or carefully plotted sneak attacks from behind, each adrenaline-fueled match offers quick and satisfying competitive gameplay.The video also also shows off the non-traditional arsenal of weapons in Umbrella Corps that offer an something different than the traditional gun and grenade loadout. The deadly “Brainer” melee axe can be charged up and used as a one-hit kill attack and the “Zombie Jammer” adds an extra variable to the mix. When this is intact, zombies will not attack, but if it’s damaged either by a calculated or errant shot, that player will become instant zombie fodder.
