Made quick video with some gameplay and impressions/ramblings of the first episode along with Raid mode. I'm digging what I've played and looking forward to more.

so what the hell does it take to get the medallions in a raid mode level?
i don't mean interesting in terms of visual design (that's whatever, it's a super low budget game so i don't expect much in this department honestly), i mean in regards to how the progression through the level isn't simply done by running and gunning through a set of areas- you're encouraged to explore to figure out what to do, even if it's as basic as the old RE -style "get thing to get thing to open thing"
even jill's chapters in rev1 were effectively still going in a straight line to progress, not like claire's section in this.
i have to ask, though: where did you even get "interesting areas to explore" from? i wrote: " interesting encounter potentials in the raid mode enemies" which is a wildly different thing
it's been doing that for me too. i'm just gonna assume it's some server mess which is really lame

Beat at or under the recommended level, don't use any healing items, and defeat all enemies before clearing the stage. Then you'll get a medallion for doing all the above.
edit: I think I'm forgetting one maybe.
Yea I want to say there's 5 total medals you can get per mission. Just can't remember the other two.

I think Raid mode still has no online co-op for any platform. It seems it will be added soon though.
The split-screen co-op however, does already exist, but I bet it is only for XB1 and PS4.

I think one is for finishing the mission, one is for clearing all enemies, one is for not using any healing items, one is for playing the mission at or under the recommended level, and the final one is for doing all the above in one go. I can confirm that you can't cherry pick which medallions to go for each time; you have to get all of them in one play before the final one, the one you get for getting the others, will unlock.

I have downloaded Hunk. But how I can I play with it?

Here's a Steam screenshot I took of Wesker:
The four levels in the Throwback Pack are the main hall (and some surrounding areas) from Resident Evil Revelations, and from Resident Evil 6 you have the dining hall area from Leon's Chapter 1, the Mine sequence from Leon Chapter 2, and the Mercenaries stage taking place in the streets where the giants attack you.
You need to download the compatibility pack first.
I just used him for the first time, having four weapons at once is broken as hell. I equipped two magnums and destroyed a lvl 5 mission at lvl 1.

So each character has its own advantages? Even these available in DLC?
Cant wait to play it when I get home. Ive read the Eurogamer review and this one seems really fun to play!
Goddamnit, I feel like I've been scammed for prepurchasing this game.
The sole reason I bought this game because I assumed it would have local co-op on the PC. Even the store page on steam seemed to have claimed this.
As it turns out on the release day, Capcom make some vague excuse and, surprise, the PC version does not actually have any sort of co-op!
Hopefully they will be able to patch it on later, but I'm definitely left with a sour taste in my mouth.

Online co-op seems to be confirmed, by what people are saying here. However it will take a little longer.
Im not sure about the split-sceen for PC, but I would be actually surprised if it had that option.

UNLOCKABLE SPOILERS, found something when digging through files in the game, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED...

It seems that RE2 Claire and S.T.A.R.S. Barry are costumes in the game, guessing you get them if you beat all four episodes. Moira also has a costume. Two of the upcoming Raid Mode characters are RE6 Chris and RE6 Leon.

Would have preferred
RE4 Leon and RE5 Chris but I'll take what I can get.
Interesting. Really great they are looking at pleasing everyone though.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask because I'm sure it's been covered, but does the Revelations series the more tanky early Resident Evil game play? If so I don't think the series would be for me.

Not at all. Think of it as a much looser, leaner RE4.

It's part of the modern RE camp.

Awesome. I think I'll give it a shot then. Thanks for the help.
Ohhhhhh so that's why the shadows look awful, the settings are flipped.
Standard sits somewhere in between. Now you might think the soft edges on the second shot look ok but in motion you can see the shadow maps are really low resolution. Where as the 'Low' setting are much, much more stable.
I can't even play Raid mode at the moment. Crashes every time when I go to deploy regardless of character, loadout, combination of settings and overlays. Then again judging by the vitriol on the Steam Hub I'm not alone.

Yeah, I ended up just blocking it with firewall since there's no setting to disable auto upload. Seems to work fine.
I had the crashing problem earlier too, not sure if it was caused by my second monitor or something else.

My stance on Revelations 2 is that it neither plays like modern or older RE games, but it has some elements of both of them in there. It plays and comes together a bit differently than other RE games, at least in my opinion. I need to pinpoint on why I feel that way exactly, though, and it's not a bad thing in my mind.

I must have problems noticing frame drops, because I didn't notice any major ones when playing it on PS4. Anyone else on the same boat?

I think we can officially say that:
the familiar faces are Jill, Leon, and Chris. The 15th character is probably going to end up a playable monster.
I honestly didn't really notice it either. Maybe during the bigger open areas but nothing that really caught my attention.

Have not been following all that much on this game but I am always interested in RE titles.
So my biggest question since I do not know much is does this have a "campaign" mode? Like with a story, etc.
Or is it just a bunch of stages that you have to clear?
Or is it both and that is what this RAID mode is? The latter?
TIA to anyone that can answer. I am on the fence.

I noticed some during door transitions, which was also a problem in the first game.
Edit: I'm playing on PS4

My problems with the PC version so far:
- Big framerate drops
- Mouse cursor always on screen during cutscenes
- Each time I try to start a mission in Raid mode the game crashes to the desktop
Fix this Capcom.

Ahhh yes. Hope it's the versions I want.
If they don't patch it we might get lucky with modding. Sectus is currently seeing what he can do and has made great progress.

A kinda jank budget Last of Us with a little bit of Evil Within

So ehm, how DO you play Raid mode in splitscreen co-op? Played through the campaign in splitscreen just fine, but Raid mode doesn't give the option?
I've seen video's of splitscreen Raid mode so it must be there somewhere. What am I missing. PS4-version here.

I'd play a janky budget TLOU episodic title like this. Would be sweet.
I saw the splitscreen option when I pushed start before starting a mission.

Yeah me too. I still like this game, don't get me wrong. Just comparing it to Last of Us is really weird, even though I did when I played it.
It happens to me too and I have no idea why.

My dream came true rather quickly, nice.
Haven't tried this yet, but isn't Moira a punk teenager?

Yeah, it's just weird hearing obnoxious swearing in an RE game, especially after playing a lot of REmake or RE4.
I removed RE6 from my brain, don't remember if that has swearing or not.

Someone tried model swapping with the above mentioned characters with what's already in the game.
