Turns out Albert's and Claire's baby is Jake, who just comes out as a full-grown adult to explain away his age. RE6 is given special importance as Jake is not only Wesker's son, but Chris is Jake's uncle.
Discussing unlockables and toying with dumb ideas for Revelations episodic format if it was a super cheesy soap opera.

Is Upload in the Xbox having some issues recently. Yesterday I recorded a video and it just uploaded today, and now it seems the same has happened (hopefully it will be saved tomorrow). Gosh... MS really needs to update that thing, it all the time present me a new bug. Not saying it is recording with delayed audio a bunch of times.
Man, I hope it's 10,000. I did another run through Episode 1, finding topazes and other gems hidden on ceilings, etc., and I still didn't have anywhere close to 100,000 BP, haha.
Some more Raid videos I uploaded, because why not. Currently working through Gauntlet III and chipping away at the Hard version of Gauntlets I and II:
Raid 1-4 (Hard) Rodeo Claire
Raid 1-6 (Hard) Rodeo Claire
Raid 3-1 Vanilla Claire
Raid 3-2 Vanilla Claire
Raid 3-3 Rodeo Claire
Dance party at the end of that last link.

Does this story follow on or connect to the first revelations story? I'm playing through it now and it's the first time I've really enjoyed playing a resident evil game. Also is this game better than the first?
Many people here hate the first Revelations... which baffles me, since I like it enough to say it's my second favorite after RE4. But I don't want to start that debate here. Suffice it to say, if you like Rev 1, I think you'll like or love Rev 2.
But so far, hard to tell if it's a story sequel. Rev 1 is set between RE4 and RE5, while Rev 2 is set between RE5 and RE6. Rev 2 apparently has lots of story connections to prior RE games, however.

Finally played a round of Raid Mode (as HUNK) and had fun. Quick question...when you "evaluate" weapons at the jukebox what exactly happens?
You pay gold to evaluate a weapon. The more gold it costs, the better it might be. Evaluating a weapon or part reveals the stats and attributes of that weapon or part. You can always sell it afterward if you don't want it.

They just get added to the weapons you can use and customize. You can only have 24 weapons I think (unless you pay for DLC to get more space). Youll get dupes so sell off the lower level ones and stuff.

Yeah, remember you can use weapons that are a higher level than your character, even when going for Completion Medals (just make sure your character is de-leveled to match the recommended level). So really, there's no reason to keep low-level weapons. Just sell off the old weapons when you get new ones that are stronger.

The developers said there is no connection to Revelations 1, but there is a vague connection
to RE5
Haven't kept up with thread, but surprised at the hate for Rev 1. Playing it now and the sillyness of the plot is really hooking me in. Game feels almost identical to the sequel(minus the worse dodging and the pace-killing but optional scanning). Actually the dead-zone of the aiming is way better in Rev1 than in Rev2 curiously. Easier to fine-tune aiming in this older game.
Love the episodic format though, playing an episode per night before bed is just perfect. Holding off on now playing any further in Rev 2 until I finish the first game.

Did they really? Because honestly
they lied
But it's by no means a requirement to play through the game. More like reading up on the events.

Okay guy, just PM the spoilers you are tempting me too much.
I just finished the craziest Raid Mode round so far.
Remember the Executioner Majini? Well, I got a giant fire one.
Half of my total round time was fighting that son of a bitch and he just wouldn't die. After spending all of my bullets on him, he was on the brink of death so I knifed him a bit until he exploded. I survived the explosion by some miracle.
There's video coming.

I can dig it.

So despite this being the second playthrough, I've managed to get stuck in Barry's campaign. What are you supposed to do once you turn off the power and get into the room with all the cells? I don't have a key lol

Isn't there a hole in the end cell that Natalia crawls through?

What stage/difficulty?

should be
When you say fire, do you mean he was glowing orange, or do you mean the actual red-and-white Executioners with the flaming axes from the Prison map in RE5 Mercs?
The control room key is at the tutorial spot for the first hole to crawl through.

First or second floor? There's one on the second floor but it's closed by a gate? Is there a control room key somewhere? I had no problem with this the first time, I have absolutely no idea how this happened.

I find it hilarious that,

(Post Episode 1/late game SPOILER!)
Claire manages to maintain her fashion/color scheme on an abandoned island months later.
I saw pictures of that outfit, but I don't know the circumstances. For all I know, she might've left the island and come back.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I'm staying up another 48 mins to find out.
In less than a hour we will know.

So first playthrough crane attempt = me scrambling around the whole area dodging lightning fast revenants to flip switches and stuff because I had no ammo
Second playthrough attempt = I kill all 3 of the revenant that spawn with one well placed flame bottle.
I do think this game handles ammo limitations quite well. Going through both parts of the episode trying to use as little ammo as possible makes for a fun experience. And even with all the ammo both Claire and Barry have now I'm sure I'll waste it all quickly in episode 2.
also episode 2 should totally be up at 11 so I have an excuse to not study for midterms :x

I watched my friend stream and saw him run right by the key so I remembered that spot, lol. If you miss it you'll hit a dead end and not really know where to look otherwise.

So, how do you get the trophy for beating episode one while using only the knife? Because that's exactly what I just did, but didn't get the trophy.
Some have mentioned that you can't do melee attacks either. Did you use those?

Really? Wow. I just assumed that as long as you didn't use any guns or subweapons that it would still count. So I guess it's literally knife-only. I suppose on my next attempt I'll just try and completely ignore enemies.
Hahaha, amazing. Down to a sliver!
I had a similar thing happen when this was a daily. I was out of ammo completely and ran back and forth for awhile slowly whittling him down, lol.
I think the actual burn effect doesn't kill you, but can bring you down so that anything else will kill you.

Damn... very close match.
