10 Video Games That Wasted Brilliant Concepts

Resident Evil is one of the most influential and iconic video game franchises of all time. However, while the highs of the series are very high, the lows of the series are so low that they hit the bedrock.

Which leads us to Operation Raccoon City, a game which does something that other Resident Evil games just didn't do; focus on some of the bad guys of the game, Umbrella.

Set during the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, Raccoon City focuses on an Umbrella task force, showing what the evil organization was doing during this time, and even showing some what if scenarios with the team taking down Leon and Claire.

Unfortunately, the premise was trapped in a low-quality third-person shooter. Made to be played in co-op with terrible AI replacing the spots you weren't able to convince enough of you friends to fill, it was a bland action shooter with very little focus on horror. The story also did not live up to the premise, just being used as an excuse to go forward and shoot more zombies.

After this disappointment, Capcom would try something similar years later with Umbrella Corps. The less said about that, the better.
