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

Did they confirmed the release date for online co-op? Also they confirmed if there will be matchmaking or any system to play with randoms?

No official confirmation, but it looks like it's going to probably be March 17th. That's when episode 4 comes out. That's also when the game gets ResidentEvil.Net support, and someone from Capcom France said it comes out the same day as episode 4. How reliable that person is? -shrugs- But it'll likely either be then or the 20th. The 20th is when the Bonus episodes release and when the physical edition releases.

So the retail edition comes march 17? good news i was expecting like April.

March 20th is when the physical release happens, the fourth episode hits the night of the 17th/morning of the 18th.

But no, not a month later or anything, just a little after the fourth episode comes out.
 
All the PS Plus games are up through search, and the games that will be discounted this week appear in the discounts section without the actual discounts applied though. I imagine Episode Two should be up very shortly.

It's super-satisfying owning this digitally. It just feel so right to be able to access this as soon as I turn on the PS4. Raid is one of those modes I'll keep playing until... well, the next Revelations, haha. And I fully anticipate the story will be good enough for multiple playthroughs.

That's what's great about digital.

Ok! Thanks!

Same here. I have it in XB1 and I sticked it to the main screen.

Can't believe how much better the redone tracks from REV1 are, Revelations had probably my favorite RE soundtrack overall and Revelations 2 makes it sound bland as hell.

Also could have sworn the raid intro music(first time) was familiar,
Its Wesker's RE4 Mercs theme remixed.

If interested in the soundtrack, you can listen to 30-second previews of all songs in the soundtrack here: http://www.sumthing.com/p/resident-evil-revelations-2/

Whole soundtrack is also pre-ordable for $9.99. However, the site is having a Saint Patrick's Day coupon, which you can use to get 25% off anything from their store, so can be had for $7.50 if you put this in as a coupon when you order: sumthinglucky

Rev 1 has the best soundtrack in the series, imo. Rev 2's soundtrack is a pale shadow of it so far, but we've only heard a small portion, so in the end it might turn out to be really great.

It's really good. I actually prefer 5 and 6's soundtracks though. Those have some of the best boss tracks I've ever heard. The music for the Wesker fights in 5 were fucking out of this world.

"you are not able to purchase or download this content."

Seriously Sony... seriously?


edit: okay... had to go about it a different way.

Downloading Contemplation now. Would have been nice to be able to download/pre-load much earlier than this as I have really slow internet for the next few months but whatever.

Umbrella Chronicles actually probably has my favorite theme overall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8G1G19n7jg

Not sure why but it just fits the series so well for me.

Umbrella Chronicles, RE2, Code Veronica, Revelations 1, and REmake are high-up there for me, but those two stand as my favorites.

That said, Umbrella Chronicles has some rad songs and remixes, and Live Evil is definitely great.

RE Soundtracks!?

I love the music in Darkside Chronicles, incredible remixes and new pieces.
RE4 is very good too, The save theme and rooms with the typewritters are amazing, also very good bos battle themes.
Of course Code Veronica, RE2, RE0 and REmake deserve a mention, each has classic pieces and tracks.

Revelations soundtrack is good, RE 6 is ok, RE 5 has good tracks but overall a bit underwhelming.

The series has high quality music in general, with some better than others, and a few rotten apples, even the Outbreack games have a nice intro piece that is among the best RE music.
 
RE4 has the most underrated soundtrack imo. It has a few notable classics like sanctuary, but a lot of the tracks from the village section are some of the creepiest in the series.
 
So it's only for US then?

PS3/PS4 users in North America get the episodes on Tuesdays

PC gets them at 9 PM Pacific/Midnight Eastern

360/XB1/other PS regions get them Wednesday when they update their stores

So is the public Steam patch supposed to fix the stuttering or do I need to get the beta patch?

going by the patch notes on the Steam forum for the game the patches are the same except the beta patch has the co-op part...all other chages should be the same

What's the issue with the map pack? I have it but haven't used it yet so I'm in the dark.
If you're in North America on PS4, the Throwback Pack doesn't work. And Capcom seems to be waiting for someone to file a class action lawsuit to fix it. #BitterOverFiveBucks

Bummer because I'm still getting crazy hitching with the regular patch. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer since they've made split-screen co-op their priority now.

Well, at least you're not missing much. It's just a few more RE6/Rev 1 levels.
I still want them. I paid $5. :-(

Downloading Episode 2 right now. It's 4.2 gigs. Don't know when I'll get around to playing it.

There's also a 4-gig Evil Within update downloading on PS4. Any idea what this is?

Probably something for the DLC which comes out next week.

FWIW the Argentine PS Store (which is probably the same one for all of South America except Brazil) updates on Tuesdays as well. I just downloaded Helldivers from it.

i honestly cannot remember a single piece of RE6 music except the main theme (the same one that plays when you fight simmons with ada that has it's musical motif all over the place)

it's really strange too 'cuz listening to random themes right now they're all pretty okay to actually great but it's like none of them really ever got emphasized at the right moments so they just never stuck in my head
or maybe it's 'cuz most of them are pretty bombastic pieces when normally those are saved for big moments

actually i have the re6 mercs theme burned into my head and i loathe it. capcom please bring back character themes because jesus christ
