It should but we shall see. As of late capcom has just kept the split screen stuff in.

So I will only be able to buy the retail version once all the chapters have been released digitally correct?
How stupid! The game doesn't even look that great but i'm pretty starved for games atm and love Resi games (except 6). It's probably going to be crap but i'm hoping for some good reviews.

Even if the game is really fun and offers a legit amount of content for the money it still won't get good reviews.

Yes, and why is it stupid? Would you prefer retail owners spoil the game for digital owners waiting for the next episodes?
I fucking hope so. That was one of the most dissapointing things about RE6. Why would they restrict the costumes from the campaign!?

So I just bought this on my PS4...first time preordering, but um, where's the preload option?
If your connected online it should auto start it. Check the download page and then your game library if it's not listed.

Well I see a countdown on the library page, but that just looks like a countdown til it unlocks. I don't see anything under my notifications>downloads.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
So if we buy it digitally, we can never play as Wesker?
If you get the 40 dollar version you can. They will likely offer him as dlc as well.

The $40 digital version has Wesker.
Also, I'm sure there are going to be ways to buy the items separately later on

Who's spoiling what? How are retail owners going to interfere with digital purchases? It's stupid because the game should just come out when it's released in full. Fuck this dribs and drabs shit. Whoever is buying it episodically is going to be missing out on heaps of content it seems. All these digital options are making game purchases so convoluted and fragmented imo.

Yeah =/ It's what made stuff have such great replay value sometimes.

I didn't get apreload option either, although yesterday it did download the exclusive raid map... What gives?
You may want to reboot the ps4, it may help it engage the download.
If people didnt bought this stupid useless things in the first place they would still be free as achievements.
RE5, 6 and the first Revelations have unlockable costumes for achieving stuff in the game.
I don't see why Revelations 2 wouldn't.

No they aren't.
You want all the episodes, buy the complete pack and get each episode as they come out. Want to try it? Buy the first episode.
Do you have any remote idea of how episodic games work or are you just kneejerking because you didn't get what you wanted?
robotzombie
Member
actually they probably wouldn't
Hyrule Warrior

I can't figure out how to engage it really. I go to my library, and it just shows "Start" when I click on it. When it says it can't find the application, it takes me to the PS store page for the game, and it just brings up a countdown, but no download option.

You can either wait and buy the full game with all of the content, or buy it individually.
There's still unlockables in the game.

I know right. Still doesn't make it right to offer it in the first place.

Either play each episode weekly when they release or wait a month and buy them all at once.
It's really just that simple.
I think that is because its set up as auto detect thing. I kicked mine in by disconnecting my ether net cable and plugging it back in.

I wish my PS4 was close enough to the router to do that, lol. I have to settle on wifi, and it's kinda hard to just unplug it and replug it. I did turn it off and back on like you suggested, but no luck.

Is there a link to this version on psn?
Why not? Gaming is about having fun , back in the days the developers had way more respect for us, cause they know we loved gaming and they showed that respect by suporting us as we suport them, now they just see us as numbers, its all about the money, ask yourselves, how many times had you been disrespected in the last years with unfinished games, microtransations and shit, compared to the early years?

How do I preload this game? Bought it and is not letting me. Is not in the download section either. First time this ever happened for pre-loading a game.

The raid comes with the $25 pack.

Well, considering a large amount of arcade ports weren't balanced in order to keep kids renting the game and playing, and how many terrible clones used to capitalize on the success of few great titles, and having to buy a whole new copy for a few fixes/updates (Final Fight says hi with its lack of co-op on the SNES), I'd say developers have been seeing us as cash droves for a good long while now.
Same shit, different smell, but if you want to debate this, take it elsewhere.

So what if I buy the first episode and I like it? I'm gonna end up paying more for the rest of the content to buy it seperately or i'm going to have to buy the compelte package and end up paying double for the first episode that I tried.
It's not simple, its convoluted crap and episodic games should just go away. This isn't a fucking tv show. But if there are sheep willing to accept these sorts of game design practices then who am I to argue? Carry on.
I know, but it seems the $40 pack comes with a bunch of extras for raid mode.

Correct, most of the stuff in the $40 pack are for Raid Mode. The only stuff that doesn't get included with the $25 pack that is in the $40 pack that aren't just for Raid Mode would be:
-The costumes.
-If you pre-order the PC version at least, you get the Sampling Soundtrack and a digital artbook, not sure for the other releases).
The rest of it is for Raid Mode.

Sounds like if you are hesitant, I dunno, just wait for people to give impressions and decide then like any other video game out there? Or wait? It's like a month, nobody is forcing you to pay more.
Also, sick slight at people who enjoy it. I mean, using the word "sheep" totally shows people how much of a discussion you'll contribute, right up there with lizardmen and illuminati talks.
If it's not simple, how is it that you're able to break it down so poetically if your first paragraph?
I've seen people say it was on PSN but I only got the 25 version so I don't have it.
I saw the 40 on Steam so that is how I know of it.

I'm going to enjoy my episodic games and my non-reptillian royal family and my moon landing.

15 extra dollars just for raid mode stuff and Wesker. Ehh...I'd just buy the SP instead if I knew how much Wesker will be later on.

Because he woke up!
Back on topic, I hope the second player isn't completely gimped for co-op. I don't mind it as much for the AI, but my girlfriend can't aim for shit/play these games for shit and I don't want the only support to be a flashlight.

Don't know about the other versions, but if you are in NA then the PS3 version should now be in your download list (Account Management > Transaction Management > Download List) as it showed up (in 3 parts....Resident Evil Revelations 2, Revelations 2: Episode 1, & Throwback Map Pack) on mine about 35 - 45 mins ago.
