So overall, I thought episode 1 was decent. It felt cheap as hell in the graphics department, but the locations did their jobs.

Nothing too surprising here in the SP mode, but yeah, I had a good time. Glad to have Claire and Barry back in the fold, been too long brus.

Raid mode is the best, and the true star. Now if it only let me play it without freezing.

Just happened to me as well, three times in a row. And I had just beaten the daily challenge. Hopefully I haven't lost my rewards. Maybe this is a network issue?

Maybe, maybe. I too hope that I havent lost my stuff,

 

[BBboy20]

I uploaded the soundtrack of the first episode, sadly, it's the only available right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORXbHc-GUUU

So it's back. Man, it really is one of the best RE themes around.

 

[Manu]

Even so, I think they should be prepared for it. Claire is.

Claire is Claire. She survived Raccoon City and Rockfort Island at age 19.

Her being prepared for the situation is only due to who she is.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

You know as cheap as it is I would love if Capcom continued to pump out side games at this level.
Would be a perfect fit for random BSAA adventures between main games.

 

[Hugstable]

I think the fire breathing section is impossible on hard. In don't think it can be completed. Lol

It's possible, it just takes getting lucky on a few factors. I finally passed it yesterday after being frustrated on it for so long, and I feel that it was just balanced horribly. Then I thought, "hey maybe I just suck", but now that I'm seeing more people complain about that part, maybe it really is just badly balanced on Hard. That one part is way harder than anything throughout the rest of both scenarios, it was ridiculous.

Damn you sort of forget that the Protagonist of RE have been at this for a LOOONG time. How the hell is she not suffering from intense PTSD.

 

[Neiteio]

How is performance on PS4? I hear it's the worst of the three current-gen (PC, PS4, XO), but is it still solid?

My gaming PC is currently out of commission... But I'd rather play this on my TV with a controller anyways. So I hope the PS4 version is good.

Because the gameplay sure looks solid. I like everything I see. I seem to have the uncanny knack to like all action-oriented REs, yet I don't consider myself like a super-fan or anything.

Yeah, I would genuinely say to just avoid starting on Survival even if you typically start on hard. That part is a giant brick wall that you need to be aware of beforehand.

Spoiler

if you go to moira and interact the door, then swap out, will she keep working on it while you play clare, or what? I was a bit unsure. also, will she go for the second attempt at the door after the first one completes on her own, or do you have to switch and intitiate that?

she will keep at it.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Are there any trophy / achievement to get ranks or medals in hard mode? Or it doesnt matter the difficulty you play?

 

[Manu]

Resident Evil is basically "I've seen some shit - The series."

 

[Zambatoh]

I played through the first episode again and I found that not only can Natalia point out the weaknesses of the Revenants, but she can also throw a brick at said weakness to expose it, so Barry can save ammo fighting them.

 

[FUME5]

since there is no demo (yet), can I buy the first episode, try it and if I like it, buy the season pass for $19? Probably not I'm guessing.

You can, actually. I was wondering what the difference was between the "Complete Season" and "Season Pass" downloads - complete comes with Ep1-Ep5 and Hunk, Season pass is Eps 2-5.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Also the ps3 version is fine. Some random frame drops but it looks pretty good.

 

[ironcreed]

You know as cheap as it is I would love if Capcom continued to pump out side games at this level.

Hey, fun is fun. We are going to end up with a great and highly replayable RE that clocks in at probably over 8 hours and has a fantastic Raid mode to boot. All for 25 peasly bucks. I'll take more of that action.

Manu plz. Stop trying to make sense. I don't wanna look dumb in front of my GAF friends.

Lol but yeah I still think they should be prepared before doing missions.

 

[Black Soma]

Raid mode seems to be the usual grindfest filled with bulletsponge enemies. And it may be even worse here since characters don't share their level and you have to level up each one of them. So if you keep using just one of them and then you want to switch to another they will be pretty useless since they are underleveled.

This plus the horrible performance (Raid mode seems to run even worse than the story mode) and the fact that I need to not be connected to the internet to actually play it make me think I have already enough of it.

 

[Shauni]

So, how exactly do you kill enemies with rotating blades in Claire/Moira's campaign? It's the only medal of theirs that I'm missing.

So if you keep using just one of them and then you want to switch to another they will be pretty useless since they are underleveled.

Bulletsponge enemies in this? Are you not choosing missions appropriate to your level? Or using handgun/smg? I'm halfway done with hard and magnum/charged shot sniper rifle still oneshot normal mooks and bigger guys take maybe 3-4 shots to drop at most. Assault rifle with fire ammo + shotguns work really well also.

I agree about the leveling thing though, especially because it seems the only thing that's different on hard difficulty is that some enemies have special attributes. Spawn positions and enemy pool seems to be the exactly the same so it doesn't really get much more difficult or interesting.
I don't want to replay normal/hard at all because of that.

 

[PhantomHound]

Sigh. I loaded up the raid for remote play on vita away from home. Why the fuck didn't they map shoot to r1/l1 on the vita >.>!!! They have it on the top left and top right of the touch screen. GAh!

Anyways... So glad to have Mr. Death back. I'm dreaming that one of the extra story missions involves him. A man can dream.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Streamed a bunch of raid tonight. My Hunk is up to 21,shit is starting to get weird with all the different status enemies have now.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Spoiler

You have to get their attention and run at the right time. You can use bullets to slow them down, hit their leg, use the flastlight to blind them in the right spot, or just time it right. I could of saved a lot of ammo had I done that in the first place

look at the big shot

Claire is Claire. She survived Raccoon City and Rockfort Island at age 19.

Spoiler

You can totally tell with her perception of everything. She's ready for whatever comes. Even when she's shocked, she has this sense of acceptance already placed inside of her.

Even so much that she's on my lock screen atm

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

The daily challenge with Gina is pissing me off -_-

 

[JumpJeff84]

10 hours so far. Beat Claire's campaign three times, Barry's once, and a whole bunch of Raid mode. Beat all the daily challenges- I really dig the whole package

 

[Zambatoh]

One of Raid Mode's new features is the ability to kill your enemies by striking poses.

♪ Domo arigato Mr. Roboto! ♪

 

[Papercuts]

How does the charge melee work? I have it for Moira in Raid more but holding it down just has her rapidly slash the knife.

Edit: Ohhh, it means you can hold down for the melee prompts on a stunned enemy.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I like this much more than RE6. Much better setting and less dumb annoyances. It's just too bad the production values are so low. The cliffhanger at the end of the episode was a bit out of the blue. Ending of EP 1 SPOILERS

Spoiler

6 Months has passed since the distress call? Natalia believes Moira is dead. Nooooooo Claire.

 

[Mystic_Wanderer]

I haven't read through the topic, but wondering if anybody else is experiencing this. I put all the graphics settings to the minimum except 60 FPS/Vsync and 1920/1080p and my game still chugs. Especially beginning of Raid levels it'll pause and lag so I get hit by the zombies at times.

Is there any sort of fix for this (3570k, 8GB RAM, 7870 graphics card so that's not the issue)? Help is much appreciated.

 

[fritzo]

It's just poor optimization on Capcom's part. I use a 745 and it also chugs for me.

 

[FLAguy954]

Yeah I just got to level 22 with HUNK and these new enemies are annoying as fuck especially

Spoiler

those large fucks with the shields and that weird-ass green fog around them.

I only have like 6 of those respawn gems left. Is there anyway to get more?

Spoiler

I need stronger guns

do the daily missions, they give you 2 crystals per victory

Okay, cool. I'll do the upcoming ones when they're available.

 

[Papercuts]

Holy shit Hunk is OP as hell.

 

[WrenchNinja]

how the fuck are any of the throwback maps a throwback?

 

[Chabbles]

Ok time for Chris's part. Lets check out this dynamic framerate, im excited!.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Where my LIN mansion at?

Anyone got the DLC Samurai edge and parts to work?

 

[Kojaq]

So I brought episode 1 had a blast went to purchase the season pass to get the rest of the episodes and its missing on psn. It was there yesterday and now its asking for me to buy the compete season I'm not paying for episdoes 1 again

 

[Seyavesh]

wow once you get past the normal difficulty shit gets pretty real in raid mode

i went from being real bothered by how simple and easy raid mode was to getting my ass decked (though i'm using a slightly underleveled character)

the enemies are really cool too. man i really, really hope these dudes get used well in the campaign

edit: derp, my b. i just realized that i was talking about the DLC raid mode maps and not hard difficulty.
that's a bit of a bummer!

 

[tesqui]

So I'm playing on STEAM and In order to play any raid mission I have to go offline. This is because if I play online the "uploading stats" icon keeps looping forever. The only way to exit is to force close the game losing all progress from the raid mission you just played. Now I'd be okay with playing offline if it werent' for missing out on the daily missions which are beneficial and seem cool.

I've heard that some people don't have this problem on the PC. How the hell are some people able to get through the server fine while others are blocked off completely? I would understand if it was a chance thing, but some people arent even experiencing this problem. It makes not sense.

It's pretty stable in all the indoors environments on the PS4. There's one "dark forest" section that you'll be in for about a minute outside that tanks pretty hard when Barry's flashlight is turned on (but you don't need it), that people are losing their minds over in the performance comparison thread, but it's super brief and not representative of the majority of Chapter 1. It is a bad bug that does badly need fixed, especially if it gets that bad in other chapters too, but for most of the game so far it's totally playable and close to 60 or 60 most of the time.

I've played through both Claire and Barry over a dozen times now and I personally haven't hit any massive dips or noticed any really bad drops except under certain conditions in that one area.

Have S on both Casual and Normal and A on Survival and all Collectibles & Medals for Chapter 1 now, just need those last S ranks!

 

[SeanTSC]

So, how exactly do you kill enemies with rotating blades in Claire/Moira's campaign? It's the only medal of theirs that I'm missing.

One way to do it is to get to the last event with the flame thing, but don't turn it on and kill all of the first spawns with fire bottles. Then you'll get 2 infinitely spawning zombies that run at you. What I did was stand near the blades in the flame room with Moira and then Blind them with the flashlight, switch to Claire, and kick their asses into the Spinner in the corner.

There's also a Trophy for beating it without turning on the fire.

Other easy Spinner kills:

In the lower room with the 3 Spinners where you have to first turn them on just ignore the 3 zombros that are sitting down there and run past them while grabbing the key and then going to turn it on. Then when you exit back into that area all 3 will instantly die from the Spinners that are now turned on.

There's also 2-3 up by the Flame Room that you can lure into the Spinners that are moving back and forth before you start the event there. 2 on Casual, 3 on Normal/Survival.

So that's 5-6 of 8 right there. Then you just need to kick 2-3 of the infinitely spawning ones into a Spinner.

 

[Chabbles]

How do i stop the spinning blade machines in Chris's campaign ?. I've got the control room key but cant get past one of those machines ?

Edit,
Found it, if anyone gets stuck.

Spoiler

Theres a hole in the wall the girl can crawl through in the room with the 3 moving blade machines

 

[Neiteio]

Between Rodeo Claire's booty and Wetsuit Jill's booty, the Revelations saga should be called Bootylations

...thank you, thank you, I'm here all night

 

[Teknoman]

Even so, I think they should be prepared for it. Claire is. I can't see them being like "Go aid these people. Don't worry about being able to defend yourself, you're screwed if you run into a situation where the terrorists confront you."

I think Terrasave is more of a peaceful protest/investigative group.

 

[synce]

Replaying this in Japanese... holy shit did they take a lot of liberties with Moira's character. She's a completely different person in the original JP script. A lot more likeable. Thank you Capcom for including the JP audio AND text

 

[NIN90]

Come to think of it.. is this the first RE with multiple languages for VA? Kind of a weird decision what with it being a budget title.

Didn't the first Revelations on 3DS also have multiple languages (i.e. French, Italian, etc)? This was the U.S. copy, too.

yep, that was the first one iirc

the spanish voices are so deep and gruff in it

do the english subtitles change in script for the japanese va? that'd be pretty crazy. i'm pretty curious about how much moira was changed

 

[Teknoman]

Im thinking about revisiting the first Revelations, but on the 3DS.
