Don't know if it was posted already but greenmangaming has the game for 25% off for the day (for both regular and deluxe versions). Use 25OFFR-ESEVIL-REVEL2 at checkout.

Thank you. I almost bought it with the 20% code from the main page but then saw your post.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I need to dip out of this thread soon.
I can't help myself with clicking on spoiler text.

 

[Manu]

I've made posts in other Resident Evil threads about how I think that the games can have action and better gameplay than the older ones while still retaining a heavy focus on horror and atmosphere. Revelations 2 is proving my point ten-fold. The part where

Spoiler

Barry is trying to open the door in the cabin out in the woods at night, and Natalia turns around and sees something, and then you see the huge shadow appear on the door

; that's the stuff right there.

Not to mention

Spoiler

I was totally expecting the Revenant to enter through the door at any time and the motherfucker crashed through the ceiling. I said 'oh shit!' out loud.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I just thought this game would have some sort of online coop on the ps4 if they activated shareplay. I hope the reason it isn't is because they plan on adding online to campaign eventually.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Not anything significant but I find it interesting.
Did they try and use survival horror recently for marketing the other games? I don't recall them doing so, might just be my bad memory though. Aside from REmake of course

 

[Reckless Onion]

This has the same problems with the controls as the first one, HUGE deadzone and really hard to make tiny circles or go diagonal.

I think it has to do with being a psp port

 

[quest]

Reading all the positive impressions convinced me to pick this up for my next gaming weekend. Loved RE6 local co-op this sounds even better. No idea how this flew under my gaming radar so long.

 

[LegendX48]

The game is quite a bit tougher than the first Revelations, the bleeding mechanic I can already tell I'm going to hate the shit out of it. Also, ammo's been rather plentiful, and those enemies jumping is kinda dumb. The distance they can cover is straight up absurd.

The 60fps on PS4 is sweet but it is not locked, there are noticeable dips (never sub 30 though, so far anyway) and the starting area of Barry's part of ep. 1 is not running 60 but it is higher than 30. Also, the character models look pretty good, some of the environments though, yeesh...

Interesting seeing as I'm always running out. It doesn't seem like ammo is dropped via enemies at all anymore. I'm always just barely finding more ammo to keep going.

 

[PhantomHound]

I tried this link, it gives me 2 options that are identical- Download the game for my PS4. i click on one of them and it just keeps loading and loading and wont do anything

Tried to delete cookies, don't know what else i can do, Sony are so incompetence.

Try going to your download list on the top right

Yeah, this was unbearable. I was tearing out my hair this morning.

 

[Erebus]

How is local co-op handled on the PC version? Is one player using the kb/mouse and the other one the gamepad?

 

[magnumpy]

I've never been a fan of the episodic game releases. will wait until the inevitable "remastered collection" or whatever comes out so I can buy them all at once.

 

[brandonh83]

Just finished the first episode. Well, that was fucking awesome.

PSP port?


EDIT: Any comment on weapon sounds or enemy hit reactions?

 

[Drewfonse]

So the first episode is available? Fun stuff? Length?


Thanks

 

[joe2187]

PSP port?


EDIT: Any comment on weapon sounds or enemy hit reactions?

Weopons dont sound too bad, nothing fancy but each has a distinct sound.

However when it comes to hit reactions im not sure if they wanted you to rely on the flashlight more or Im just not reading the tells properly.

Im not real sure where the weakpoints on the enemies are unless it's specifically highlighted. Skull Zombies and Infected take more damage to headshots. But im not seeing any reactions towards arms or leg shots. The Metal head dudes seem to be more affected by the leg and body shots but it doesnt really stagger them much for a melee setup.

I need more time to learn the new enemies.

 

[giancarlo123x]

About to start streaming a fresh playthrough.

[SlasherJPC]

The only thing I'm really missing combat wise is heads popping off. I've yet to see it happen so my guess is it doesn't.

 

[Bladenic]

Played for a bit, I like it so far. First jump scare actually got me haha.

 

[Z3M0G]

Going into this blind. I already have it downloaded at home waiting for me...

I pretty much completely spoiled The Order for myself and likely won't play that for weeks / months...

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm really hoping the nuuveem preorders have the soundtrack. I want those remixes.

The best part is that

Spoiler

if you ignore Natalia and continue trying to open the door, Barry will get ambushed by the monster.

Or 2 gamepads.

vita, whatever. you know what i mean

Pretty sure it's not a Vita port.

 

[Jharp]

Where precisely in the timeline is this set? I've played through every major RE game except Revelations 1, which I have on PC, and have actually recently been going through the series in chronological order. I went Zero, 1, 2, 3, C:V and then the PC version of REmake came out so I played that, then I did 4. I intended to continue with Rev, Lost in Nightmares, RE5, and RE6, but haven't gotten around to those yet, so I'm not sure if I'm in a good spot to start Rev 2.

Between 5 and 6.

 

[JumpJeff84]

So the first episode is decent then?

 

[Teknoman]

After Evil Within, RE is gonna have to do alot to become headshot king again.

Gotta use Moira/Natlia and find hidden items

And yeah, enemies don't drop anything :\

Sweet, thanks for the heads-up.

 

[ironcreed]

I think I am about to cave. It's more Resident Evil and the price, along with the impressions is really tempting me.

 

[Dragon1893]

vita, whatever. you know what i mean

Still wrong.

 

[News Bot]

Best possible thing that could have happened to the series right now.

I'm in the same position. I just can't resist! Can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[Shauni]

Anyone got an opinion on the "complete box set"? 15$ for Wesker and some costumes seems a bit steep, is there something else I'm not seeing?

There's also four Raid mode that are throwbacks to stages in classic RE games I think.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Well, I bought the season pass. Looking forward to it

 

[Storm360]

Cancelled my pre-order on PSN since Europe doesn't get cross-buy... Shame, I might pick it up retail down the line

 

[Ralemont]

And yeah, enemies don't drop anything :\

I actually like that concept. If killing enemies doesn't result in a net-gain of ammo this can fundamentally change how you approach encounters.

Problem is that anyone who play enough horror games knows how utterly predictable that was, thus the shock and scare factor does not exist.

 

[robotzombie]

So I got my key from greenmangaming

Is there any way to check what I actually got? Because I purchased the full $40 version, but it just said resident evil/biohazard revelations 2

I just want to confirm they didnt give me a regular $25 key or something else

 

[Ricker]

What? I'm almost sure that you can?

My bad,didn't see it before the new PSN was up but it's there now,you can in fact buy episode 1 anyway by itself,its 5.99.

Raid mode is pretty fun but at level 1, I couldnt complete the daily mission lol...you do get a little experience even if you die and retire though so I got to level 2...next time,I will bring a shotgun...I just ran out of ammo on my first try.

 

[joe2187]

streaming on PS4 if anybody is interested

http://www.twitch.tv/joe2187

 

[Reckless Onion]

Still wrong.

whatever, that's besides the point, the point is the controls are crap. And it was the same with the first one and not in RE5/6 so make of that what you will

Go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/ to get the exact sub name and then compare to these: https://steamdb.info/app/287290/subs/
If the one you got has 8 apps then you got the full version.

That, or go to steam://open/console on your browser and then write licenses_for_app 287290 into the Steam console window that pops up. It tells you the exact sub number you can then check on SteamDB.

 

[GeekComplex]

For those curious, I wrote a spoiler free review of the episode over on my GB account. I really, really enjoyed it.

[Stallion Dan]

Anyone else got this problem:

Pre-ordered using the PS3 version.
Got the PS3 game
Got the PS3 pre-order map pack
Got the PS4 game

...but PS4 pre-order map pack not showing up as free.

 

[LegendX48]

So... is Raid Mode completely freezing on loading screens for anyone else? On PS4

I completely agree, the first encounter with the Regenerators in RE4 is another example.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Do the weapons sound like someone popping the bubbles on bubble wrap like the first game? The lacking sound and little to no hit reaction was a bit of a turn off from the first game.

Also, is the scanning mechanic back or did they do away with that?
