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

Spoiler:

show spoiler

Really? You felt Neil's transformation was a throwback to Steve?
I couldn't feel that, Steve wasn't a traitor to begin with. And Claire obviously wants to kill the fuck out of him after he transforms.

Speaking of, the whole "Claire in love with Neil" made 0 sense, because they have never bothered to build up a romantic atmosphere between the two.

The story is definitely getting better now. Love how they keep throwing Code Veronica references: Spoiler:

Niel's transformation scene was a obvious throwback to Steve

.

The one thing though I really agree with on the reviews is the environments, they're horrible. Everything just looks so bland. That's the one thing Revelations 1 did better over this one.

The blandness works on Barrys campaign honestly, it adds to the decayed look and feel, honestly I thought that the slaughterhouse,warehouse, and sewers were pretty damn good.

Just remember that this is a low budget game, which honestly given the scope of it makes it more impressive how much this dev team was able to squeeze in, even if some of the textures are pretty flat. I don't need perfect graphics to enjoy a game personally though.

The chapter 3 boss actually reminded me of the original Birkin monster from 1.5.

I honestly love the game. Long time since I felt anxious to play a RE game.

The sewers really reminded me of the one from Outbreak. Same passage shape and all. Is it just me or are the episodes getting progressively longer? I swear this one was almost twice as long as the second episode. Heck, I thought that Claire's episode would have ended after the factory.

For anyone who wants classic-style puzzles again, this episode had a shit ton of them. Claire's episode is about as close as we'll get to the old school puzzle slash fetch quest formula, unless Episode 4 ends up topping it.

[Deathlygasm]

I finished Claires but I've yet to finish Barrys. The sewers in Claire's scenario were sucha pain in the ass and were tedious as fuck to navigate with everything being the same. I have a feeling that is probably what 1.5's sewers were like and hence why they were completly scrapped and started over.

[biohazard_star]

^ Well, on the plus side, this episode had a lot of puzzles that were throwbacks to the old games.

[Dracarys]

Capcom blocked the ending scene with Claire from being recorded on the PS4.

Do they think this will stop it being uploaded online or something?

For those not on PS4 the block started Spoiler:

the moment you press the button in the lift after Niel fight

and lastest all the way until you get to the results screen.

Nothing else has been blocked in the game so far.


I feel as the game is moving forward it is getting less survival horror elements, like in Episode One I had limited inventory, at the start of Episode Two I couldn't carry several items I found in the village. I've got an inventory three times that now, and plenty of room for the four guns I carry, plus ammo for all, and herbs, and space for each sub-weapon type (5 of each per slot!), and the thing that stops bleeding, and the one that clears gunk from your screen. My weapons are all more useful or more powerful thanks to the upgrades too. I said I didn't count it as survival horror previously, my opinio of that just gets more reinforced.


...but I'm still really loving the game for what it is.

Claire's scenario was quite good. I like that it focused on Claire because she's been a bit neglected in favor of Moira. Spoiler:

Her relationship with Neil was nice! Claire's a modern girl, she may be dedicated to her job but out of everyone I see her as the most likely to have a personal life so seeing aspects of it was nice. I would have liked to have seen more of a romantic tension between the two earlier on because it seemed her 'crush' or whatever could have been pushed a bit more to enhance some sort of... sadness? Did anyone feel sad to lose Neil? I feel like Pedro and Gabe were better developed. At the end of the day, what bugs me is to hear Claire favoring a search for Neil instead of the little girl they'd lost in the madness. That feels so out of character for Claire and bugs me much more than her new voice. The confrontation with Neil was well done though. Really action packed and gory. Incredibly fun.

I've only played the opening of Barry's thus far but Spoiler:

Alex is SOOOOOOO CREEPY. Jeez. I think that might be my new favorite creature design. Jeez. And that voice!? Also. Moira shot Polly. I'm glad they didn't kill her!

I thought he said the recording was dated 6 months prior to his arrival?

It was dated 6 months ago, but Barry might not have gotten it right away. I feel like there's a bit of surprise expressed by him when he finds out how long ago it was.

[biohazard_star]

Wasn't Barry shocked when he found out that Moira's broadcast was actually recorded 6 months ago? I'd imagine Barry and the BSAA only found out about the island recently. Still, it doesn't really explain the flamethrower though. :p

EDIT: Beaten. lol. Barry mentioned that he was briefed about the island beforehand, so I'd imagine they had already sent a squad before him. Most likely, he probably didn't even get official permission from the BSAA to go there.

[Mr.BioHazard]

We don't know when Barry got that recording of Moira. Could've been just hours before he went to the island.

[Mr.BioHazard]

Probably write it off with some 'Duty to the soldiers he is training' nonsense.

I wanna know how that flamethrower runs for 6 months without running out of fuel. There should be a finite supply since the island seems to have gone to hell so I doubt people are replacing the reserves.

Well there better be some surprise where Chris just shows up cause I'm not accepting some lame excuse like that lol

And yeah.... thats a valid question... Also it's a RE game... I'v ammo and and fuel are hidden in boxes everywhere
