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
Don't think so. You just had me turn it on Japanese too. LOL
Nah, both Revelations 1 and RE6 had multiple dubs. They were the ones that finally ended the reign of English only voiceovers, they even made a Japanese dub for REmaster.

Looking at the credits im worried Chris isn't going to be in Raid.
Unless
Unless
Chris has a RE3 Barry type scene in the story and so don't list it to avoid spoilers.
Spoilers for extra raid mode characters
RE6 Chris and RE6 Leon are in the game files.
He is, JTeghius Kittius over at Resident Evil Modding has gotten into the files and found both RE6 Chris and RE6 Leon just sitting there waiting to be released.

Chris and Leon!
Boo for on disc DLC, but Capcpom.
Chrisssss and Wesker reunited <3
Just to follow up on this, just went through the Streets level from RE6 and while frametimes and general GPU usage was fine the moment any of the burning cars were on screen the game kicked down to half speed but still at 60fps, with only a slight deviation in frametimes (20ms tops). I'll have a look at the snow one and see what the score is there.
Finished. Not bad really considering the price i guess. My biggest complaint is the wonky aiming which puts a damper on the gunplay fun, it doesnt feel tight at all for a "60fps" game. And about the framerate, it really got choppy in the wooded area in the Chris campaign(PS4). I give it a 6.5/10.. If the gunplay was fun to engage in it'd be a 7/10.

Just wanted to chime in that I'm getting great performance on PC, locked at 60 with v-sync off. So I don't think the drops people are getting are universal if we are trying to narrow it down to what is causing it.

Why the heck is Gina in Raid?
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Is it just me or is the african village they show in the Terra Save video the same they showed for the RE5 trailers before it was a co-op game ? The original one with a skinny Chris and the fast dodging.
Gotta use all them assets.
I didn't play rev 1, but did she have a role there? If not her inclusion is even more hilarious.

Nope, lol.
That was still in the game, its where 5 starts.
Yeah its meant to reference 5's events.
Gina Foley
and her sister Racheal Foley
They reused the same model for Racheal but gave her a haircut, and just like her sister she's killed in the intro.

Warning, if you don't want enemy spoilers for the campaign, don' play Raid Mode. XD;
Just played several hours of Raid Mode, was a lot of fun, but some of the enemies that appear in Raid Mode haven't appeared in the main campaign.
The biggest one to avoid would be the last stage in the Raid Mode Throwback Pack, there's a few enemies that appear in that stage that haven't yet in the campaign, but they all appear in other Raid Mode stages, but having played through all the Raid Mode maps for Episode 1 on Normal and half of them on hard, there's one enemy that appears in that stage that's really cool, but I don't think is supposed to appear until much later in Revelations 2 campaign. XD;

I am leaning more towards the disc version. The individual episodes are $5.99 each, but the disc version is $39.99. I am just wondering if the extras are worth the additional money.

Those girls are probably becoming a running gag in the Revelations series. Rev 3 will have another sister, or perhaps niece.

WELL, Revelations 2 seems to have a lot of surprises in store...
I dug through the Revelations 2 files more, and I found out what the two bonus episodes are. They're not what you guys are going to expect. I am going to spoiler mark them, but they are some light story spoilers, though nothing absolutely huge, but might lead you to think about some things.
Not what I expected, to say the least.
This info comes from these textures, which can be found in the game's files. Bonus Episode 1 & 2 spoilers:
Bonus Episode 1:

The two bonus episodes are apparently extra game modes with story behind them.
Bonus Episode 1 stars Moria, she is with a 'mysterious old man', apparently. She has a slightly different costume in this episode than her main costume, wearing gloves, a scarf, etc. Apparently, in this episode/game mode, it's all about survival. You need to hunt animals (rabbits, birds, snakes, rats) to get rations, and if you have no rations when you die, you get a game over and have to start all over. Says you can only quit when you get to a checkpoint, if you quit when not at a checkpoint you have to start all over. Some new game mechanics, seems to be a lot more punishing and describes itself as 'a test of survival skills".
The second bonus episode stars Natalia, apparently in this she's looking for a friend of hers, and for some reason in this game mode you work with another Natalia, who looks a lot like Natalia but has different hair, a necklace, and wears a black dress, but who's name is also Natalia. This game mode and episode looks absolutely weird in the texture shots for it, it shows the island like it's super psychedelic or something, with purple and pink fog everywhere. In this game mode. the White Natalia must absolutely not be spotted by enemies, if she gets spotted, it's game over. However, the Black Natalia cannot be sensed by enemies at all, and can walk freely, but cannot interact with anything in the world. Have a big open sandbox level, and apparently need to find letters and photos with clues of where your friend may be.

OK, I'm LOVING this game!
I had faith in it from the start and I'm glad that the game holds up to my expectation. Atmosphere is fantastic and exploring these environments is just intense.
I can already tell this will be my favorite RE since 4.
People running low on ammo should use Moira more, blind + melee is very effective. Also lots of items in the environment if you take your time to search.
My temporary solution for the frame-rate issues is to lock the game at 30. At least this way there are no drops and the game is playable, 60 is just all over the place on AMD cards.

Debating if I should make a spoiler thread due to some of the stuff found, I don't want to fill this topic with it, but maybe just best not to dicuss it, are people really interested in knowing spoilers for Revelations 2? There's some pretty big stuff in the files. Any thoughts from you guys?

Jill level 23, playing on Recommended level. I get all the medals every time. Don't even have to try, dont use parts or any upgraded skills (edit: that's a lie. i have the max level on full health) or special weapons. I never even use the sub weapons.
Revelations 1 was so much harder even on recommended level. And there I remember having to use everything the game offered but here... piece of cake.

So far only one level has given me a problem but yeah it's been a cake walk so far. I'm sure it will get more hard down the line.

I think Raid Mode will get a lot harder, on account to get the Gaunlets in upcoming episodes means doing quite a lot complete medals in earlier episodes. Like you can't do the first Episode 2 gauntlet unless you do all the episode one gauntlets on normal and get Completion Medals on all of them, and then do half of the medals on hard.
I also am suspicious that on the Raid Mode Rundown, it says completing all the Gauntlets over all four episodes, "Will unlock the real challenge..."
Or to quote directly...

I hope so, because it's just... boring tbh? I mean, it's not fun to run through these stages anymore even on harder difficulties simply due to knowing that there won't be a challenge. Maybe I should just lower the level even more but that's not the type of challenge I want. I want more and harder, faster enemies. I don't want bullet sponge enemies and that's what happens when you lower the level enough.
I thought Raid Mode would be challenging, because I was actually somewhat struggling in the beginning but now that I know how to play the game it's just... eh. If you've mastered RE6 in all ways possible this game just becomes even easier because you can use some of those tricks here as well.

I used one of those revive mid raid run things if you died because I got tired of fucking up on the last enemy and wanted to keep my weapons I found, I learned that it doesn't count as healing yourself and you still get all five medals if you did everything else. I felt so dirty...

If you want good elemental effects in raid mode use the add-ons with a magnum, the level 1 percentage is something like 68% instead of 9 or less for automatic weapons, shotguns are half that. It's really nice to shoot through 3+ enemies in a row and freeze most of them, lol.
Those extra modes sound like you really want to play them in co-op for the most enjoyment, especially that second one.

I was thinking about why Moira doesn't like firearms, most likely some accident which happened where she may have caused it... I thought about it and suddenly it hit me
It's only guess work but interesting thought.
remember, Barry has two daughters
