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

[News Bot]

Any word on Raid Mode's story elements yet? Intrigued to listen to Red Queen Alpha's audio logs.

"I was almost a Claire sandwich"
"Who's the master of unlocking now?"

Dear CAPCOM, stop the RE1 references, it's getting annoying.

[Graco]

I'm really out of the loop... I didn't realize that this was released. I think I will just hold off until the physical release of the entire game.

I thought them humorous.

Is a CV reference too, when Claire finds the pistol.

It unlocks in a few hours on Steam. I can't wait. Also, did anyone else notice that Natalia is carrying a teddy bear in her official render?

I'm willing to bet it's a walking talking nanny spy cam for the Overseer.

No luck yet, but the main menu has 12 secret files just like in RE5.

I think they're old, they used it on RE5:Gold, they used it on Mercenaries 3D, and now on Revelations 2.
The first time it's fun, the 5th one is not.

Well I just finished the first episode on both Normal and Hard. I like how tense some of the enemy ambushes are. That zapping system throwback with the flamethrower thing was a nice touch.

Steve would be proud of how cynical Claire has become lol. The knife Claire picked up is also the exact same type you get in Code Veronica.

The line doesn't exist in the Japanese version, Claire's more of a realist than cynical.

^ I'm expecting most if not all of these verbal references in the English version won't exist in the Japanese one given the development of the English dialogue for the game as you know.

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

[Sly]

No, TOSE is involved so it sucks.

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

[News Bot]

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.

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!

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.
