Not too fair of a comparison since Rev1 characters were unable to be customized beyond the weapons they used.
Of course they felt different.
Though you're right to a point that these characters feel a bit homogenized now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Pedro has a drill in the campaign, so I'm assuming his special weapon he has is a drill.
Also, I see what Capcom is doing. All the new Revelations 2 characters have unique attributes so people will actually want to play them. Gina can dance to hurt enemies, Pedro has a power drill...
I'm not against this.

Check that scan I sent your PM a while ago of the characters. It's like a drill thing.
Edit: Too fucking late.

Heads-up to those who view these videos, they include two new unseen Raid Mode stages probably from the second episode Raid Gauntlets, so if you want to not know, don't peek.

Oh. okay. lol?
Anyway, one more question maybe someone knows... is Cipher's katana a skill? Can that be inherited? Cipher is literally the worst, laziest fucking character ever to be in RE. It will be annoying if its the only character to ever have a non-knife melee weapon. Major troll by Capcom.
Especially when they've done costumes in the past, and especially now, where the thing would make sense. I always wished samurai Chris had a special melee kill with his sword in RE6. Never happened. Moria has a damn katana on her costume (that cost 2 dollars) and they take the time to add one to the game, and give it to the non-character?
It's a little thing, but bugs me honestly.

For Cipher, we won't know unless someone maxes out his Katana skill. This said, I actually don't have anything against Cipher being playable.
I also don't hate Tofu, but Tofu is what I thought of in comparison to Cipher.

lol okay. Got me there.
But is it a skill though? If so, then it's heritable. So far all skill are. So we good.

Also, confirmation to PC owners, Episode 2 will be out at 9 PM PST / 12 AM EST tonight, and episode 3 and 4 will release at the same time. From wbacon capco (Capcom developer who responds on forums) on Steam.
I don't know 100%, but I have noticed most unique character traits are skills, probably so they can be upgraded/inherited by other characters.
If on PSN, it will probably update the time PSN usually updates on Tuesdays, which varies, but is around 3-8 PM PST usually, I hear.

I cant believe the entire RE6 is available on Raid Mode in Revelations 2.
LOL Gabe's special attack being some Hulk type of attack with Agent's melee from RE6. But has Barry's melee.
Pedro's drill attack is... interesting. Barry's melee again.
Yeah... good job, Capcom.

I honestly don't understand the recycled melee. I know it's a budget game, but unique melee is just a matter of adding an animation! They have dozens from the previous games, which they've already demonstrated no shame in cannibalizing for content, so steal some of those animations! You don't have to come up with new stuff, just use the old stuff.
Is it like a memory issue, cause this game is on so many platforms? Idk...

In case anyone thought other wise Beta patch doesn't fix the Raid mode crash.

Picked this up last night, digging the campaign, then loaded up raid mode... More games need a raid mode. Was almost late to work because I wanted to get in just one more round.

Isn't episode 2 out yet for PS4? Doesn't look like anything new's been added to my game, and it says it's up to date.

Well they are on prison island.
She was the daughter of a stereotypical, Pablo Escobar type druglord.
I'd say she half-counts.
Dusk Golem

Going by the manga, the island was not always a prison, and used to be a happy small community of islanders.

I also want to throw this out there, Resident Evil at this point probably has one of the most diverse casts in gaming. That's not to say most sensitively diverse, as it plays up tropes and stereotypes pretty big in B-horror fashion, but as they've gone globe trotting to almost every continent in the world now, and have had games set in North America, China, South America, Africa, Russia, Spain, various islands, Antarctica, etc, they've collected a pretty large collection of characters, alive and dead, and that's not even getting into how the series is super ambiguous with some of the characters sexuality, sexual the male and female characters (closer to) equally, and are pretty open to making sure every country can experience it's own viral doomsday.
I've heard about RE mangas got any links or titles to what they are? Im kind of interested reading through them.

Its kinda funny, but common "trope" for some videogame characters to never get together, like they are official couple, but not at the same time, or get to flirt with different chatacters, unfortunately this also means a lack of character development, Leon and Ada has been a thing for years, but Leon probably won't get Ada until he dies.

I know the RE6 mangas are officially releasing in America and Europe right now, the first two are available, third volume becomes available when the fourth episode of Revelations 2 comes out, fourth volume is available for pre-order also, fifth comes out later this year.
This manga series is canon to the game's narrative, this takes place between RE5 and RE6, stars Chris and Piers mainly, starting with a high-caliber school suffering a zombie outbreak. The mangas can apparently get away with zombie children, but the games can't.
Volume 1: http://www.viz.com/manga/print/resident-evil-volume-1/11294
Volume 2: http://www.viz.com/manga/print/resident-evil-volume-2/11298
Volume 3: http://www.viz.com/manga/print/resident-evil-volume-3/11297
Volume 4: http://www.viz.com/manga/print/resident-evil-volume-4/11296
Fifth and final volume comes out later this year. These are canon, but not too important, Piers originally appeared in this manga series and later was in RE6, but this is where he was introduced.
I've heard some pretty good things about the manga from some who have read it, I should pick it up myself sometime.
There's an Umbrella Chronicles manga that's canon, but never been released in America. Does have an unofficial English translation though.
The Resident Evil Revelations 2 manga is currently coming out in Japan and hasn't finished yet, no word yet of course on an English version, but they are canon. The Revelations 2 manga series is known as, "BIOHAZARD heavenly island".
There's no official book release yet as currently releasing, but there are preview pages from Shuukan Shounen Champion.

It's not available yet. I guess we're going to get it when the store updates later today.

You sure Heavenly Island isn't a Doujinishi because wow at the cover.
Also it's funny but understandable that all of the resident evil comic book series aren't canon. The most recent was by IDW I believe.

Nope, written by the same person who wrote the above RE6 manga, and it is officially endorsed by Capcom and appearing in Shonen. However, have heard from some that there's some fan servicy elements in the Revelations 2 manga.
I do wonder if this enemy from the preview pages of the manga is going to end up being in Revelations 2, though:
Yeah, most all the RE comics aren't made canon, all the Western ones and books aren't (a shame, some were pretty decent), the only Eastern mangas that are canon are the RE6 one, the Umbrella Chronicles one, and this Revelations 2 one.
You just sold me on buying Wesker to get that skill, i needs it!

I've been reading this thread sporadically, so sorry if this was covered recently, but I'm trying to choose between PS4 and PC.
GPU is a GTX 460 768MB. I play at 1080p. CPU and RAM shouldn't be an issue.
Is there an obviously superior choice? (I don't care about Steam or PSN specific achievement stuff.)

Haha, yeah, it effectively changed every character to only having 5 passive slots, because I can't see any reason why you wouldn't want it on everyone

That's interesting, I mean the RE6 prequel comic isn't set in the same place either, but was connected somewhat so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but interesting. I don't really know the manga narrative, outside to it being a prequel manga for Revelations 2, currently appearing in Shonen, by the same author as the RE6 manga, and I know it's Capcom enforced and is a canon (though probably inconsequential) entry, like the RE6 manga and the Umbrella Chronicles one.

I tell ya, the ending to episode 2 is fantastic. Can't wait for people to see it.
