Resident Evil Revelations 2 ????

richymcdermott

Resident evil 6 from journalist eyes were incredibly mixed while from fans its was so disappointing and while Resident evil 5 for some I quite enjoyed that game, was not perfect but not as bad as some made it out to be. playing with my cousin Co-Op multiple times I thought it was fun enough. So it looked like Capcom handling on the series to push to get the Cod players and forgot about the core fanbase that resident evil as we know it is dead, But a certain other resident evil game came out the same year that people forget about for 3ds later ported over to the home consoles and pc which to me was wha resident evil 6 should of been.

Widely Received by fans and critics I played the living **** out of it when I borrowed it from my friend for the 3ds and also have it for the ps3 , With capcom saying they will return to horror for the resident evil franchise I hope they continue on building on the revelations aspect which had some eery moments and scary monsters.

it seems revelations 2 has been listed by a Russian retailer VideoIGR for everything other than 3ds and wii u.

Revalations was great compared to all recent RE games. I still did not really liked gun and upgrade system. Felt way too arcadish for me. I
If they do the next RE game based on revalations then capcom miggtvpullvthat corpse and give it some life again.

Really enjoyed Resi Revelations, played it on PC. Thought it was a much better version of Resi 6 (i.e. similar in a lot of ways but executed far better); would love to see the same type setup for a sequel (3 smaller campaigns of different gameplay types; classic Resi, action, and escape). One thing they never do enough of is puzzles. There may be even less than God of War games at this stage!

I then clicked on your link, and the first thing that hit me was the image...and the boobs....and how they are strangely misshapen

Can't remember even hearing about the game tbh

The boobs are mid jiggle based on my expert opinion.

Have to laugh though, that banner is pure clickbait.

Was delighted when Revelations got the console port and would love to see a sequel. But, isn't the Resi franchise getting a bit stale at the mo?

(Says me, that just played the Directors Cut and RE3 over the weekend).

Apparently a load of secrets hidden in this teaser trailer. I really need to play the 1st one on ps3.

Edit, also Revelations 2 is now listed on the PSN store with a release date of yesterday. Must be just so they can put the teaser trailer on the site as well

Well from about 0:26 onwards, you can see Rachel from Revelations 1 standing by the back wall (she has the hair covering her face). Apart from that I've not heard of many others but not really dug into it too much.

Just a note that Revelations is currently on sale on Xbox 360 for just over a tenner. Well worth it even if you have played the 3DS version.

Damn, would whip that up on PS3 in a second. Currently 30 quid there.

Star Lord

It's on PC via fas2play.com for just under a tenner for a steam key too.

I had great fun with Res Revelations, then I tried playing 6 and gave up half way because it was terrible.

Don't get me started on RE6. I feel I'm the only stoic defender of it on Boards, with 450hrs clocked on Steam for it.

450 hours! Jaysus that's a lot. Though it is kinda fun, really like it's and Revelations style of co-op MP, something about the movement and "feel" of the guns, hard to find decent alternatives.

anyone get this today? Hefty amount of 'micro' transactions. 3 euro for 1 costume? BARGAIN! :rolleyes:

I got it, it's better than i was expecting. Not as good value for money as Res HD remake but good enough.

ancapailldorcha

Anyone else hooked on the Raid Mode in Revelations? It's probably the most addicting Mercs incarnation.

ZiabR

To get or not to get... I bought RE 1 HD for Xbox One because in my eyes it is the best RE ever made and is the way RE should be. Not convinced on Revelations 2.

I have yet to finish the first RE: revelations on the x360. Going to get that complete before I go near this.

TerrorFirmer

Is the first Revelations co-op?

There is no need to story wise as they are not related. Revelations 2 takes place between the events of Res Evil 5 and Res 6.

Played the first one yesterday and I'm on chapter 10. Still want to get it done. I'm trying to get 1 game complete before I move to the next.

I read raid mode in rev 2 is class

Seen the drama about local coop on PC and have to ask.......does anyone play local coop on PC in games that are not FIFA?

Is network co-op available? I have to say I don't think I've ever played local co-op on a PC game.... apart from maybe Worms....

Yes, the game inflicts chronic stuttering during transitions and certain sequences even on some of the most up-to-date gaming rigs. Some got away with it - most haven't. For me, it plays at 50-60 FPS solid for the most part - but will occasionally chuck in stutters (20FPS or more) while cache-ing during level transitions and at the start of RAID matches. It's playable - but an anti-immerser. Yes, the models (just like Rev1) aren't going to be top-notch, so don't expect RE6 quality. Textures are pretty low as expected of ports from Capcom - but the game still looks decent.

I thought it was my laptop struggling with the original but it seems quite common. I hope it's able to handle this.

I've sank several-fold more hours into Raid Mode than the main game. I'm currently struggling with the broken Abyss levels.

Azza

Also getting bad frame rate drops and stutter with this game on PC. It doesn't look as good as RE6 which ran silky smooth on my PC.

Gameplay wise, first episode was solid and raid mode is good fun.

I think it's down to the port rather than hardware. I'm really hope Revelations 2 isn't as good looking as RE6 as then I won't get to play it for years.

Second episode got some very positive reviews, almost makes me want to return to the series after a long time away from the games.

Captain Chaos

Yeah, amazed be the reviews feedback. Looking forward to getting stuck into Ep2 now. Haven't even touched Raid mode yet.

Great value so far for €25 imo.

Thats whats tempting me , it's 39.99 for a physical copy, and the episodes are being released much much faster than other episodic titles, which is surprising given the possible replay value in them with various modes.

Gunmonkey

Hrm, seems Capcom is listening and trying to patch in local co-op on the PC, have a buggy BETA version out now.

Steam page link

Seems legit (posted by a developer account) so might try it later. No finding someone to play with is the problem....


Also, 2nd episode this evening, Destructoid have a review up

9/10 again

I can't see episode 2 in the store, I thought it was released today??

Really enjoyed the first episode, have yet to give raid mode a go

ancapailldorcha

Anyone think the running animations are a bit daft? I'm going by Ropedrink's video btw.

ancapailldorcha

I was referring to HUNK's running at the start of your latest video. Maybe, as you've pointed out, it's because we've never seen it before in a Resident Evil game. Sounds like a good tactical addition.

Played some raid yesterday evening. It's very addictive. Really enjoying it.

Second episode is available also, it's a bit confusing in relation to how you download it.
You need to load up episode 1 and then the download option becomes available in the menu.

It should then detect if you have the season pass or not.

*Edit* Sorry not confuse between RopeDrink and me, I'm talking about the Xbox One version.

Ah - that's the FPS stutter (port issue) - first minute or two of the vid is pretty laggy due to it. Fast-forward to about halfway (with 1080p @ 60 FPS enabled) to see the massive difference.

I still think it looks a bit off but if that's the biggest issue then it should be a good game.

Honestly can't see it, myself. He runs with both hands clasped when using SMG's/AR's/Shotties (big guns, as you would), whereas characters free-arm sprint with hand-held weapons etc

Fair enough. It looks a but OTT to me but that might change when I play it for myself.

Episode 3 available now fyi

Gunmonkey

Patch 1.3 is also up on Steam, that adds local co-op to the PC version (was in a beta form before).

Been announced that online co-op is coming March 31st to all systems.

Captain Chaos

Episode 4 is reportedly the weak link in the chain and not as strong as the other chapters. I only finished Ep3 last night and I was amazed at how long Claire's section was, Barry's felt short but was actually on par with the others. Overall though this has turned out far better than I had hoped with old skool puzzles featuring.

Still wondering what the 2 bonus episodes are going to be and how to unlock them.

Saw on a site what they are

one playing as Moira alone, the other as Natalia alone, could be interesting as they wouldn't be fighting as much as Claire/Barry

Well, RER2 was worth every cent. Ending was a bit too thick on the cheese but the whole experience was very satisfactory... And not only did it unlock tonnes of Raid Mode content but also a blitz of costumes, the two (fun) bonus episodes and lots more, added on to the inclusion of RE.Net

Last slice to be added is co-op in Raid Mode. All in all, for 25euro, it's one insanely replayable package. I've yet to find all the Kafka/Emblems/Bugs, nevermind finish countdown / invisible modes -- and plenty of achievements left from campaign / bonus / raid mode to grab.

Evgeny was a joy to play as, though I'm annoyed his rifle-butt smash type melee moves weren't used in Raid Mode.

When is this being added?

Gunmonkey

Also, Capcom are rolling out the RE.net connectivity with Rev2 on April 1st, usually these add bonus weekends and unlockable content.

Also finished Chapter 4

got bad ending Tried "The Struggle" and god damn is it hard, just swarms of enemies and less ammo than the regular campaign

Captain Chaos

Just finished the game yesterday on Normal, I want to go back and get all the collectables and medals with chapter select but on Casual for an easy time. When I select it it warn me that it will overwrite may save. Does that mean everything is gone if I change difficulty? The game is not very clear about it, I hope it just mean my current checkpoint is gone but everything unlocked so far is still there?

Gunmonkey

Im gonna guess it means your checkpoints, how on earth would they expect you to unlock everything in one playthrough.

Azza

Catching up on your Ropey, up to level 84, Code Red unlocked.
Will play a few co-op games with you once its available.

Just completed the main game tonight excluding the additional bonus chapters.
Annoyed with the ending due to the reason why I got the bad one.

Anyway I really enjoyed the game, not sure why the last chapter got so much hate I loved it.

RopeDrink

RopeDrink wrote: »

Story wise, the 'reason' makes sense. Look at it this way - it doesn't take much to trigger either ending - and because the game has so many reasons to replay it (and additional ending/filler/explanations from the bonus episodes), it really isn't a big deal.

The only time I can see someone being annoyed is if they unlock "The Struggle" via a Bad Ending (as that makes the ending/story go haywire if you, like most people, complete a game and move straight to bonus content).

Your hardcore IMO.
If I'm honest I probably won't get time to play through again for a few weeks. I'm hoping to play on hard when I get the chance and hopefully adjust to get the good ending.

True - and I tend to undervalue that when giving info to other people. Thing is, it's not like I had a tonne of free time given I work about 10hours a day - but I've played all the 'Shooter' RE's and most of the older ones and they all tend to have the same format (shoot weakspot, conserve ammo via melee etc) - and it's the format I enjoy (660hrs in RE6 Mercenaries etc).

Played enough to learn the majority of the episode routes (and it helps that they're all an average of 10-25mins in length).

The game is designed to be played on repeat in nice bite-size chunks so by the time you've played it on HARD (and then Survival), you'll be speed-running in no time. The ending trigger takes about 15mins of playtime to switch to the one you want -- so take your time, enjoy everything else and just flip that switch when you feel like it.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as smart. I just meant I wouldn't have enough time to invest on the game at the moment.
Bloodbourne has me by the balls :P
