Resident Evil: Revelations 2 |OT| Yeah, but it's only $25

I removed RE6 from my brain, don't remember if that has swearing or not.

Jake throws out a couple of 'fuck's in RE6. RE5's Kirk dropped the first F-bomb in the franchise.

I agree, Moira just sounds jarring.

I laughed when Barry plays back Moira's expletive-laden distress call in front of Natalia and she's just standing there listening to it.
 
Did anyone do the same as me and increase camera speed but slow down aiming speed? feels like the deadzone and acceleration for aiming is too big and I was over aiming a lot.

This game plays like straight butter on the Xbox One and it controls so much better than the first Revelations. It also looks better than I was expecting for a $25 game. Enjoying it right off the bat.
How do you feel about aiming and shooting with the blocker buttons? Its been kind of a turn off for me.

Someone else seems to have found what I found too and went a step further. WARNING, UNLOCKABLE SPOILERS IN THESE FOLLOWING LINKS.

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

Is that

I'm sure after you beat all the episodes. Also in those files did someone take a gander at Cipher? Wonder if it's the green hologram you run around with when you start raid.

Some modders modded the hell out of the game but not fucking Cipher. Fucking get to it, modders! (Where's Moira when you fucking need her?)

I already like this more than The Evil Within. It just plain plays better and the camera perspective is just right, instead of being too close.

I think it's kind of off putting to be honest. Sure, the series has always had bad writing, but there's a difference between corny dialogue and immature dialogue. Resident Evil, despite being very violent and gory, never used to have characters that ran around frequently spewing curse words. Cursing doesn't bother me whatsoever as I'm very guilty of it, but I think that a series should maintain its tone and form. You'd hear words like hell or damn, stuff like that, but Moira is just an absolute clown.

I enjoyed Revelations 1 and this one so far, but they really have produced the most obnoxious and immature protagonists the series has seen yet.

Lets see, i would be worried if all the characters were to suddenly start speaking like that, but so far Moira is Moira.
Its kind of hilarious, she has more talent with these words than
Donte and Bayonetta.
A bit more inspired than REV 1 atleast, it will be interesting to see how she speaks to Barry and Natalia :p
 
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.

How do you start this dlc maps ? I can't find it in the Raid mode.
 
Im confused..I see this available on the XBOX ONE for purchase now..yet online it says the game releases on March 17th..what is the difference now between the one available on xbox.com and the one coming out on March 17th

The full game with all episodes releases physically then. But you can buy it right now for $25 and will get an episode a week for a total of 4 episodes.

Aha! Solved my Raid mode issues. Playing offline via pulling the Ethernet cable out the back of my PC did the trick.

Just finished up Barry's chapter and damn next week is going to be both an enjoyable and stressful wait. Also the preview of next weeks instalment had some interesting new additions by the looks of things.

How are your frames looking? Some of the missions with a lot of alpha effects (RE6 level with the burning cars or the RE Revelations level with a lot of snow) are choppy as fuck (drops to 45 fps).

Oh I see..so let me see if I understand this..if I buy this right now for 25 bucks in total it will be 22 gig..so Im basically saving 15 bucks on this game since on March 17th it says online it will be 40 bucks

I think the physical version will come with some extra costumes and such, but for $25 now you will get all the episodes of the main game @ 1 a week (4 in total), plus the raid mode.

Only played the RE6 Edionia level (as in the first one) but I'll have a look at those in a sec. But what you've said has been pretty much the same experience as some others on Steam's Community Hub.

Seeing TOSE attached to the credits made my heart sink. That is never a good thing and their track record with this series has ranged from poor to absolutely fucking abysmal.

So far really love the game though. Goes a step further than REV1 and absolutely destroys BIO6.

TOSE works on sooo much stuff, I don't really think it's a good or a bad thing. They've done good and bad work.

Is that what comes with the XBOX ONE version since I see two versions of the game, one that costs 6 dollars and another one for 25 dollars not sure which one I should be getting want to make sure I get everything with this game

Costumes are $2.99 each character, or $10 for the whole 4 pack. Its not included.

The $6 version is just Episode one by itself.

The $25 version is the entire season all 4 episodes. Not sure if the one on xbox also includes the 2 bonus episodes, and Hunk Raid mode character.
 
So during Barry's episode, I got to the double decker prison cells and I pressed the button to open all the doors, but before going through the door at the end with the hole in it for the girl to crawl through, I decided to check the downstairs door that leads to the radio tower.

Big mistake of course since it locks behind you and I couldn't get back in. Does anyone know what I missed back in the prison?


Edit: Also, what the hell are those bugs and how do you find them? I haven't seen one...

Beat Episode 1 and then did Raid with Hunk.

My verdict: Great value for money already. Episode 1 was really fun and so is Raid. If your into RE and on the fence, just go for it.

Now I got a fiver to spend, Throwback pack or Wesker?

If this is your first RE game, not sure if this the game to start with.

Id suggest giving Resident Evil Remake Remasterd HD a shot, however It plays very differently than Revelations 2.

I know but in this series in particular, they're rather ominous haha. They also have a habit of reusing assets in everything they've worked on, which is why CODE:Veronica and Gun Survivor both reuse a lot of BIO2 assets.

They also seem to be behind the models in REV1 and REV2, so you can probably blame the "ugliness" of the characters on them.

lol this game is pretty unpolished.

  • PC cursor is present in cutscenes, it cannot be removed or moved to the side
  • Having to wait for the game to load something everytime you enter a menu
  • If playing in 4K, the game stutters like crazy with FPS drops to the 10-15 range.

But I can tell y'all that the textures are actually not as bad as I feared. RE6 looks worse than this game.

Guys, for those playing on PC, are you facing a really odd blur when walking/running? I can't seem to get rid of it. Also, the cursor is present during cutscenes. Any idea what to do to get rid of this?
 
It's a slight annoyance but did anyone else notice for a lot of the rooms you enter, the screen goes black for a short second or two and then proceeds. Why do you think they didn't just do the door opening transition seemlessly? Some areas even feature that but others don't.

I pre-ordered The Complete Game from the European store yesterday
will I get the cross-buy offer? I've been asking on twitter but the official RE's account keep ignoring me :(
 
It's remarkable just how much of Resident Evil 6 there is in raid mode. In fact, it's pretty scummy of Capcom to sell a "throwback pack" of RE6/Rev1 levels when that's what 95% of raid mode is anyways.

Word on how long the first episode is?

I knocked out Claire's in 45 mins and Barry's in just under 50 but there is a bit of scope for replayability with different difficulties and achievement like challenges to earn BP which allows you to purchase single player Skills. I'm probably going to wizz through them both again before the next episode drops.
