Anyone pick up Revelations 2? (*Fawkin' spoilers beware*)

[shanemurphy]

Aside from Jill, I don't see what's wrong with Claire or Barry.

Claire is instantly recognizable despite what all the other idiots are saying and Barry is very faithful to his original self. I despise his remake model. He was so different from RE1 in that game. If anything, Revelations 2 brought back the Barry we all know and love.

I completely agree, Barry in Rev2 actually looks closer to his real life actor's appearance from the original, it's more faithful to the original character.

Jill in Rev1 lacks realism I wasn't a fan.

Claire in Rev2 looks completely fine, these people complaining about her features are the same that think Jill, Claire and other female characters should be forever young with no faults, ultimately halting progress for female characters in the medium. The series needs to get back on the gore bandwagon, it's honestly not surprising why many people don't take the series seriously anymore outside of the hardcore fans.

Capcom now has a great chance with it's new engine, hardware and (hopefully)recent evidence of how to take the series forward.

I believe they're also responsible for the models in REV1 and REV2, so you can probably blame them for the goofy looking Jill, Claire and Barry.

Am I missing something regarding tose? They've always made great stuff, at least from what I've played. Revelations 1 was great, with a far better story than 6, 4, and a good bit others. They've also developed great games like starfy or Valkyrie profile Lenneth.

They're responsible for the cheap shoddiness of Zero, Gun Survivor, CODE:Veronica, Revelations and The Mercenaries 3D. They're very much a B-team when hired for this series.

So far its a 8/10 game for me. Really like the exploration elements in the game. I love actually feeling like. I am playin an RE game again. Moira is annoyin as fuck tho. I gotta say I love the games blood effects, they look disgusting and gritty!

[Sly]

Yes it is disappointing but we have already seen this before in Outbreak, Code Veronica and Dead Aim to name a few. (EDIT : And REV1 obviously. Stupid Oozes.)

That's still a shame though. The Rotten are so close to RE6 zombies that you expect their head to pop just like in RE6, but no.
It was one of my major complaints in the demo version, and I hoped Capcom had just censored it for presentation sake but would include the feature in retail, but alas it is not the case.

No gore? O_o

Since RE5 the series has been toning down its graphic violence, but there was always some gore to be had when you splatter enemies, that seems to have been removed in this game. Shotgun to the head= a still present head,it wouldn't bother me so much if splattering enemies hadn't been a thing since game 1.

I really don't like seeing the gore toned down like this, maybe its the nostalgia, maybe its because I don't like change, or maybe because this allows them to not have to change anything for Austalia and European titles but its all fucking weaksauce to me :/

Whoa, REV2 is a huge surprise. It's the scariest RE in a long time. I was shocked I was playing a RE, especially during Barry's campaign. The twists in chapter 1 are good and the cheesy/stupid story aspects of REV1 aren't here. Moira's characterization is a big downfall though. The writer really screwed up on making a semi-believable immature young woman. Natalia is a nice child character that isn't whiny or annoying.

Playing through Raid mode and it seems there's a more vast range of enemies in the later episodes that appear in it. (Mutated pig and giant mutated pig )

[MeganGrass]

No, TOSE is involved so it sucks.

Just kidding. REV2 has the best atmosphere since Zero, hands down. So far so good.

Wah Wah

I dunno man, I remember you didn't care for Rev1 and theres a pretty good change you wont care for this game either, I like what I'm seeing here more than REv1...but I'm pretty iffy about CAPCOM selling things on a chapter by chapter basis and all that stupid shit.

I'll wait until the whole game is out and everyone has finished it and listen to their final thoughts on the game.

Last Rev game was a lot of fun and storywise was pretty good...but it still had to much ham, didn't quite care for some of the characters and I wanted more horror and atmosphere. WhHile it was the best RE game in a decade, it still wasn't as dark or as interesting as it should have been.

..also I am irritated to see that gore is almost fully gone in the game, I mean...no exploding zombie heads? Thats what zombie heads are for!

No gore? O_o

My main gripe, although I may have overstated it in a rather bitchy and negative manner, was the excessive and pointless chatter between characters. It really craped on the overall experience for me.

The real game breaker for me is the fact that I seem to have a bugged version of the game for the PS3, where a certain boss fight glitches, making what could have been fun into a boring situation (the boss becomes stuck at a certain point). It was at this point where I just can't even [...]



I always reserve personal judgement for until after I've tried something, but it never hurts to get an honest opinion of others. That said, I'll likely give it a go.

Finished it a few minutes ago in 2 hours on pc, and it was pretty shitty. The environments are bland and overall it looked much worse than Resident Evil 4. There's nearly no variety in terms of monsters and the gameplay is simplistic.

It would have been fine on a handheld console but on pc it was borderline mediocre. I found the first game much, much better. Even the writing is bad.

[Sly]

So far, REV2 is an improvement over REV1 in pretty much every department.
It is obviously too soon to pass judgement on its plot, but everything else is better. Gameplay, graphics, atmosphere, character and enemy design, you name it.

[Wrathborne]

...so, basically, CAPCOM is pulling a move from Nintendo's playbook by baiting everyone with nostalgia? Is this even worth playing otherwise?

TOSE's involvement was a major downer when I saw the credits. That is literally never a good thing. But I really like the game so far.
