Hopy crap gauntlet v level II

Spoiler

63 enemies, 58 of which are speedy dudes and the other 5 are poisonous brute guys

I don't want to do that on harder difficulties. Gauntlet V levels demand you have a good shotgun.

a daughter, an adopted sister.

Ah, it

was in the files. That's probably why I don't remember.

Episode 2 was AMAZING.

And it took longer to beat with Claire this time for some reason.

 

[Grisby]

Yeah, if each episode keeps ratcheting up the tension its gonna turn out to be a good ride.

Felt more spooked at points in episode 2 then I have with the whole series in a long time.

 

[robotzombie]

so does anyone know if you get anything for

Spoiler

defeating Pedro as Claire? Can you even do so?

 

[brandonh83]

I need my re6 gameplay though.

It can have that. This isn't too different, it just doesn't have quite as many abilities.

Do we know who

The files on RE5 only mention Alex was part of the Wesker children, but not actually an adopted sister of Albert, although they met before, so there is something i missed.

Spoiler

Well, they aren't genetically related, but they share the same surname, given to them by Spencer. So I'm assuming that she is an adopted sister of sorts. All of the Wesker children would technically be adopted siblings, wouldn't they? Spencer basically took them from their parents and raised them together. Although it hardly matters for the most part, as Alex is the only one left alive at this point.

Spoiler

just some notes you read on the way up the stairs, I think it's Alex referring to someone who was trying to rule the world as a god but had a disease which made me think it was referring to Spencer, and goes onto say that she'll pretty much pick up where he left off. At any rate, I really hope this is the new main villain of the series and that they don't kill her off in this one but put her in the next

Oh, i never considered they were raised together, it makes sense that he knows her then, i assumed he searched for Alex after learning the truth, and that the W children were raised differently.

Spoiler

Definetly Spencer.
i think they will kill her off, maybe, maaaybe set the stage for RE7 in a way. or other REV game, she can still be a good villain/final boss, but she is the only antagonist so far...

Trophy/achievement and also, you don't have to fight him with Barry, making his campaign a lot easier

 

[Seyavesh]

re: all the above posts: (end of ep2 spoilers)

Spoiler

the note sounds exactly like the RE5 wesker monologue he gives to spencer. like they really could not have made it any more similar beyond literally copy/pasting the dialogue from that cutscene.

i must admit though i am wildly dissapointed that 'shades all the time' isn't some insane family habit though. i guess that's too corny though

 

[Manu]

I wanna go on record saying that by the time the whole game's out, this could be the best RE since 4.

I am going to go on record and say even if they don't come out with the next two episodes....it already is. (and I actually loved RE5 and 6)

Shit I only played episode one and it was damn good. Can't wait to play ep 2 tomorrow. This is already everything Rev1 should have been

 

[Lucent]

Just quoting the game

Anyway, what is broken? I've seen posts about it but I'm not too sure what it is.

When you go to the PlayStation store in the game, it shows I have the $19.99 season pass, but chapter 2 isn't checked until I try to download the pass again and back out. But it only tells me to buy the episode when I select it. Going to the campaign tells me to download it too and says I don't have episode 2. When you go to downloads in the Season Pass, Hunk is all that's available).

 

[brandonh83]

I wanna go on record saying that by the time the whole game's out, this could be the best RE since 4.

It's easily better than RE4 for me, but that's the fanboy in me speaking out. RE4 was fun but didn't do anything for me story wise. It felt like a very cynical installment for it to go in the direction it did, almost like they didn't give a shit about the established story up until that point and not only threw it out but brought in a bunch of stupid bullshit that wasn't in any way better. If RE4 threw out the story but introduced more interesting elements that would have been one thing, but it didn't.

Independently if its the best since RE4 or not, Who would have thought this was going to turn out decent? i remember a very mixed reaction to this game when it was revealed.

Well, RE4 had an amazing atmosphere and entertaining characters, more than RE5 and 6 imo, it felt fresh wich is what Mikami wanted.
But, different opinions and that.

Spoiler

Umbrella was handled in a very clumsy way though, the story could work with them still around.

 

[hipsterpants]

Pretty sure high capacity shotgun + ice bottles break raid mode. Just had a mission where something like 6 ironheads spawn in a short amount of time in a highway and I basically killed them all in 3 shots each and never took damage. Not to mention 1 hit kills on afflicted/zombie dudes, easy targeting for the orange weakspot on some enemies... it's ridiculous.

 

[mhs004]

This is my first Resident Evil.

I'm really enjoying it so far.

As far for the ending

Spoiler

I know who Wesker is and that he was the big bad but I really don't know much more. Despite that when his sister stuff was reveal it was and ohh shit moment for me. Makes me want to play more RE games honestly lol.

I would love to play more RE games but I only have an PS4 and WII U. I have a 360 at my old place I may have to go find it and dust it off now.

 

[ReginaldXIV]

I thought RE5 was great, still one of the best co-op experiences even today.

This game is really ramping up in the intensity, I was pretty good at getting head shots and using switch combos with Moira a lot more effectively but was still counting ammo through out. That is a great balance.

Still not sure what is up with the performance of the PC version. I'm wondering if the loading screen isn't actually loading anything and just drops you in to play before everything has been properly loaded in to the memory. It only stutters at the beginning of each hard transition (for me anyway).

Start with REmake, its an old school horror game, the controls are a bit outdated but you will be fine.(expect something different)
Then play RE4 and RE5, If you are still interested on story stuff, look at Darkside Chronicles for Wii, its a rail shooter but an impressive one, that retells two classic games.

Sweet! Thanks my man I'll check them out now.

Well, RE4 had an amazing atmosphere and entertaining characters, more than RE5 and 6 imo, it felt fresh wich is what Mikami wanted.

RE4 had amazing atmosphere before the castle and through some of it... after that, eh. Wasn't terribly impressed. I thought it kept going for too long and lost most of the great atmosphere that was prevalent in its first half. It could have taken the fresh direction while sticking with the established story. The characters were entertaining, but Revelations 2 has very entertaining characters without feeling random or tacked on.

They didn't need to outright change the story just to make the game more fresh and I think recent installments are proving that ten-fold. They've been just as entertaining if not more so than RE4. RE6 is certainly a hell of a lot more fun to actually play, it's just not as focused overall as RE4 was, despite that game, again, wearing out its welcome by about 6 hours. I like RE4 plenty and I get why people love it, I'm just arguing that I don't think it needed to do an about face on the plot to feel fresh.

 

[Papercuts]

Around 2 is a safe bet. They have a lot of replayability though.

This is very true. I've played through the first episode several times and just got through my second playthrough of episode two. There's still more for me to do as well, and I don't feel too burned out on it. Maybe on the first episode a little bit

I know I didn't. I mean, I wanted it to be good, but didn't expect much after being so disappointed with the first Revelations.

So far this one's hitting all the right notes. All it's missing is some old school RE puzzles.

In the exact boat as well.
Aside from not really caring about the puzzles making a return or not.
Always felt they were more of a roadblock for speed runs more than anything else.

So what are those things at the episode complete screen below the medals?

Jump on the Remake bro and prepare to tense. Gotta see how it all started.

Good thing I like Claire, shottys, and ice bottles.

 

[Evolved1]

Ice bottles? You guys should try smoke....

 

[SpaceBridge]

Any update on the Vita version? Would prefer to play this portably.

I think I'm more burned on ep. 1 just because of the forced walk/tutorial stuff.

I still have a few medals to get for it too. x_x

Yeah, smoke is crazy. Free kills. Some enemies make it rough though, mainly the shielded ones that have toxic gas around them.

Sony is porting it so no word yet.
Will be out before the end of the year though apparently.
Which is about all we know.;

You and me both. I've been wanting a portable RE on a Sony handheld since even before that original announcement. I really hope it happens and that it's a competent port.

Actually, it was confirmed recently in the PS Blog to release THIS Spring.

Been watching streams of this all night. I really wanna jump on it especially since my mom gave me the gift card she got with HP stream, but something is holding me back.

 

[Evolved1]

You can usually get the stealth kill without taking too much damage. I love smoking and stealth killing a fire/ice/electric guy in a crowd... he blows up and kills everyone.

lol

 

[Papercuts]

There's a few brief ones like Claire/Moira getting stopped for the bracelet talk, early with Barry and getting stopped in place when it introduces swapping.

It stayed like that for me doing the invisible enemy and countdown modes.

 

[hipsterpants]

It's like Capcom realized people actually like gameplay in their campaigns as opposed to nonstop crazy cutscenes and QTEs.

If you're describing RE6 you're doing a terrible job. Yeah, it had QTE's but... there was plenty of gameplay.

Well I was playing RE6 recently and played Leon's campaign. Half of it was shooting zombie's in badly lit environments and the rest was literally QTEs (that fish monster lol) and a bunch of bad setpieces. And a 2 chapter long boss fight.

It's been a while since I played the rest of it ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

e: maybe I should of worded it that REV2 actually seems to take advantage of its gameplay system, lol

 

[brandonh83]

I found RE6 to be the most diverse gameplay wise in the series. I wish the QTE's were toned down, but RE4 also had a lot of QTE's. Still plenty of actual game there though.
