RE Revelations 2 TGS footage

[shanemurphy]

It does need to die, but it seems to only be getting worse.

I remember back at GTA4 and the millions Microsoft paid Rockstar for that exclusive content, even though the GTA series up to then was practically a PS only franchise, so Rockstar fucked off basically it's entire original audience.

Now we have the likes of Ubisoft actually picking platforms per game for exclusive deals! Watch_Dogs PS content, Far Cry 4 PS content, Assassin's Creed Unity XB1, Bungie partnering with Sony for Destiny, Microsoft is leading the marketing for The Evil Within. Even Alpha and Beta have become a bragging right for the company that has theirs online first, it's gotten out of control.

As much crap Capcom has done in the past, they are actually more multiplatform friendly than many others.

[Canas Renvall]

It's not exclusive content, it's just free for those preordering the PS3 and 4 editions. Read it again.

[shanemurphy]

Content that can be acquired through pre ordering for a limited number of platforms is infact exclusive content unless stated it will be available on each release platform free or for a charge.

[Wrathborne]

Ok, serious question folks: Do you guys think that its time to stop supporting pre-orders for extra/exclusive content? I'm an older gamer and grew up buying games that didn't have anything extra and were ultimately finished and there for everyone to enjoy upon purchase.

Things changed when games were re-released with a little extra stuff(RE: DIR CUT) and I fell for that trap twice(thankfully both times they were used copies at "Funco") but now things are different, and I keep seeing this madness to get as many pre-orders so the put in a little extra content to entice people.

I never got into it, and avoided it when I could because it felt off to me to put so much emphasis on an extra skin, or extra gun to get people to pre-order ASAP.

As time has gone on, I've gotten sick of this because of how dependent I'm seeing companies become on pre-order sales. Companies are there to make as much money of a product as they can, I get it, but this shit is getting out of hand.

Whenever I see these pre-order exclusives popping up, I die inside because the emphasis is not on the game, but the extra little but you get buying the game. But it pisses me off more when I see one console getting something that the other consoles wont, which is damn offensive to people who are willing to buy the game in the first place.

When I see exclusive pre-order DLC this is what I see it as:

This shit needs to stop, it really does.

[Vito]

It needs to stop indeed.

I just don't get why people accept this BS. They announce DLC before the game is even released for fucks sake.

They are cutting pieces of the game to sold separately and they accept it with a big smile.

I have this rule since last year: If you are stupid enough to announce DLC before release (Pre-order, Day 1, Season Pass, etc.), I won't buy your game new. PERIOD.

I'll buy the game used, that way you get shit from me.

[Dark_Chris]

Drama queens strikes again. It's not a DLC, it's free bonus for Sony consoles and it most probably will be in all retail versions.

[Wrathborne]

Until thats confirmed my point stands.

I miss the days when you bought the game, you got the whole goddamn game, there was no slivering off bits and pieces of it to entice pre-orders that could possibly allow a mediocre or a bad game to make a profit.

I mean when you think about it, buying the game before reading any reviews and not knowing what you're gonna get isn't exactly a smart purchase. Sure the company's marketing is going to say its better than anything because thats their job, but when it comes down to it really is a bad idea to do this(especially if you buy Tim Schafer games) when you have no idea how something plays or how much of the finished product matches the advertised hype all for a few skins or maps.

Yet to exclude those skins and maps is a rotten thing to do to customers who don't get them, but pay the same price.

I would have no problem if the announced the extra raid mode content for like an extra $5 on the purchase itself, but instead they're pandering to Sorny, and excluding X box users and PC gamers, which aren't exactly a small portion of the market.

This isn't as bad as disc locked content, not being able to create any new save data, but its still a shitty thing to do to customers. Especially those of us who are finally seeing more of a return to classic form after almost 11 years.

[News Bot]

Moneyhatting is extremely common in the industry. I'm surprised people are surprised.

[RaccoonSurvivor]

Cool .. gonna get on PS4 (have an XB1, but PS4 I still prefer, especially the contoller) but yeah, reminds me of that Simpsons episode LOL Love it..

"She's just a regular Malibu Stacey, but with a stupid cheap hat!" ROFL

Even if it is only stages we have played before, they could easily add new ones in the future as DLC, plus we'd have REV2 style, characters and enemies.. so it'd still be different and unique

"He is a character known in the Resident Evil series, but you really need to be a hardcore fan to know. It will not be recognizable by his voice".

Telling you now, it's Ark, his rage fueled the construction of the torture Island and when he found out Claire was returning it forced his hand.

"He is a character known in the Resident Evil series, but you really need to be a hardcore fan to know. It will not be recognizable by his voice".

You mean 'she'...

[shanemurphy]

You mean 'she'...

Ah yes sorry, I just seen it was referring to a female.

Anyone with a wild guess who it could be?

[Dark_Chris]

Ah yes sorry, I just seen it was referring to a female.

Anyone with a wild guess who it could be?

Everything seems to point at Alex Wesker.

[atlier00]

Alex Wesker is referenced as male though.

Go to about 3:15

The woman's voice actor is Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. She's had bit parts in the whole series. Granted they've also said the voice acting would not be able to tell you who it is. So its someone who has been part of the series but never shown. She's also someone only hardcore fans would know.

Many people, for some god awful reason, think Annette Birkin makes the most sense. "She hates Claire for taking Sherry away!"

Wait, what? Thats just stupid.

As for others (even though they've all been seen in the series before):

Alexia Ashford - Was blown up into thousands of tiny pieces with a linear launcher.

Excella Gionne - Body mutated into a blobby Uroboros mess.

Jessica Sherawat - More of a spy like Ada. I also doubt they couldn't get her VA back.

Svetlana Belikova - Granted Damnation is the same year as Rev 2, Svetlana is busy running a country. Plus lady above has no "Eastern Slav" accent.

Carla Radames - Was still working on her plan to deal with Simmons. If she had messed with Claire, Chris would already know of her in RE 6.

Ada Wong - Is never really evil. (Yeah people said her)

Monica (Stevens?) - Had a G embryo burst out of her chest. Then blew up with Raccoon City.

Yoko Suzuki - Wasn't Evil, helped take down umbrella. (People were digging hard.)

Linda Washington - Same as Yoko.


As a joke we might as well list Alfred in drag again. He could fake Alexia's voice well and we never REALLY saw him die right!?


I personally think its Christine Henry. I've said it on other sites before, but to me she makes the most sense.

Christine Henry -
1. Was the director of one of the French facilities of the Umbrella Corporation.
Possibly the one Claire broke into at the beginning of code Veronica.

2. Mentioned in the Operation Instructions file of RE 2 (granted only on N64).
This would make her a Hardcore Fan fact.

3. This file was her Order given to Hunk to retrieve the G virus.

4. Has a possible connection to Claire if she broke into Christine's facility.
May have been the one to have Claire transported to Rockfort Island.

5. This is a guess but she may also be the woman in white from the trailer. She kind of sticks out a bit IMO.



6. Capcom has actually used her before, granted it became non canon. She was the villain in the radio drama "BIOHAZARD 2 DRAMA ALBUM The Female Spy Ada Lives".


She's a character who has only been mentioned but never seen in game (just like Moira). This gives link to the games before RE4, especially if Capcom is trying to please old fans. She worked for Umbrella. Has a possible connection to Claire. The list can go on.

The only other person I could think of would be Jenny K, but that one still does't make sense to me. Her only connections are Umbrella and Spencer. There is nothing else really tying her to this.

[Grem]

Alex Wesker is referenced as male though

Yes and no. News Bot will probably explain it better than me, but if Alex turns out to be a woman it will be fine regarding what is known of her.

It can't be anyone else than Alex Wesker. Okabe said that the character was "very important in the RE universe". Considering Alex Wesker has strong ties with Spencer and Albert, it is indeed an important character.

All the others you mentionned above are 1) dead 2) not important. Christine Henri also doesn't seem to be an important character.

However, I agree that the woman in white and sunglasses may be her. It really stands out in the teaser.
