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

Do the weapons sound like someone pop the bubbles on bubble wrap like the first game? The lacking sound and little to no hit reaction was a bit of a turn off from the first game.

Also, is the scanning mechanic back or did they do away with that?

the scanning is kind of back... you use Moira/Natalia to point at hidden things to make them visible for Claire/Barry

well, I didn't dislike it so much as i found myself using it wayyyyyyy too much. Maybe this is a decent way to bring it back without feeling like i have to compulsively need to use it.

I am certain this has been asked several times, but I'm a little confused about pricing. Is there some sort of difference between the $25 season pass on PSN and the $40 version being sold elsewhere? Why the disparity?

I dunno if its just me but Raid Mode is broken. Choosing it makes the game lock up :\

Gonna reinstall and see if that fixes he problem.

edit: PS4 version

40$ comes with more raid content including a Playable Wesker and some Alt Costumes.

25 gets you the full game, extra eps and one extra Raid Map.

Is there actually some decent gore and violence in this?

The last few Resident Evil games have been as visceral as a wet fart.

I'd say there is nothing overly graphic in terms what happens to the characters. Certainly nothing that is any more or less then the soldier's bodies ripping apart and morphing in Re6.

Do we know what the alt costumes are yet?

Yeah we've got a preview of them so far.

Honestly I don't care for them, they aren't Costumes from Previous games and none of them are as awesome as Sailor or Road Warrior Chris or Gangster Leon.

There's blood but no gore whatsoever from what I've seen so far. Can't blow off the monster's heads or anything :\

Heads can pop on enemies that you fight later on. So there is some Gore, but nothing that over the top.

Is it the Terra Save ones? Can't seem to find anything else on Google.

If so, I agree they are a bit underwhelming. They could have at least scored major nostalgia points with a Made In Heaven costume of some sort for Claire.

Edit: saw the PSN ones. Eh...

There's also four Raid mode that are throwbacks to stages in classic RE games I think.

Yup, but you get them anyway if you pre-order the game. If you pre-order the complete set it comes with Soundtrack Selection and Mini-Artbook.

So an extra 15$ for Wesker, costumes, some soundtrack and mini-artbook, I'm just worried that the pre-order bonuses will never be available again, as this is the case with every RE game on steam.

Man I think I'd be scared shitless about starting a new job in the RE universe. First day on the job is no joke here.

You mean those
weird ooze like enemies you fight with Barry
?

I've heard that from others, but Raid Mode worked for me today on the PS4 (cleared 3 stages).

That's whats bugging me the most, it was working just fine up until about 10 minutes ago for seemingly no reason at all :\

Yes actually
both enemies, the weak zombies and the Ooze monsters. If you hit them with the handgun you can see parts of the head one the zombie be blown off.
 
So... is Raid Mode completely freezing on loading screens for anyone else? On PS4

Yes, seems like the game can't connect to Capcom servers and then freezes.
It works fine offline though.



So did anyone who bought complete season got Hunk raid character ?
I hope he's not that locked secret character that requires 90 completionist medal ;_;
That means you need to finish 90 different raids with perfect score (get all 5 medals at once) !

Alright, fellas, gmg sent me a new 25% code that works with the $25 version of the game. $18.75, should I pull the trigger or am I going to miss too much if I don't get the $40 dollar version.
 
I don't understand why they went Episodic with this.

Especially with this being a sequel and the original wasn't episodic in nature.
 
So apparently Capcom thinks 4 costumes are worth more than a new character + a map pack ($10.00 vs $7.50). wut

Just go on the PS store (or whatever marketplace you're using) and he should be there to download for free. All the other stuff you can get with the physical release is there too.

Probably testing the profitability of it. I imagine the amount people who will only likely buy the first episode for $6 will still make it more profitable than the amount of people who purchased it if it was a complete $60 package.

I wonder if the Steam release will already have all of the FMVs and audio on the Episode One install. It seems like the kind of mishap that'd happen.

Guys, PC version won't have local coop.

From the store page:

1. Raid Mode online co-op functionality to be added at a later date.
2. The PC version does not support offline co-op play in the Campaign or Raid Mode.

Screw you Capcom, not buying this.
 
I've never been a fan of the episodic game releases. will wait until the inevitable "remastered collection" or whatever comes out so I can buy them all at once.

Same here bro, to heck with waiting on the next ep, although i will continue to see what people think of the game in this spoiler free environment.

Least it's not some Telltale shit where you have to wait months at a time lol

an episode a week is with added Raid mode missions thrown in just gives me something to look forward to every week until Bloodborne comes out

Shit on a stick
Im liking Moira, can't wait to hear more of her famous catchphrases next episode.

My girlfriend said her swearing was annoying till I told her that if she was in that situation she'd be saying a hell of a lot worse lol

+1 for Moira

Well, this may be the case for the PC version, but I'm fairly sure the console versions don't have this as a bonus, so for consoles it'll only be for the $40 retail version later (or until sold standalone). Are you sure about the preorder thing? I knew about the artbook and soundtrack, but this is the first I heard about getting the retail Raid maps for preordering on PC.

To you guys what played the game, is Moira unbearably cussy, like in the trailers? "Fuck these cunting zombies", "are you shitting the fuck out of me", "fuck, crap, asshole" and all that? I found that really jarring, it's like they really wanted to make an Ellie v2.0

I've only just got to Barry's section, but I have to say that I'm loving the game so far. Plus, Raid mode is so much fun!
 
Does anyone know when I gain the ability to combine weapon parts? The the tutorial in the Raid lobby says something about a toolbox, but don't see how to unlock.
