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

[Guest]

Wait why is this an arguement?

Because Rev2 can't have dislikers, ever. So has determined the angry fanboys.

I like the game but I have been ripping on the fact that Capcom can't really write any good original ideas anymore so they play with our nostalgia to make things seem better than they really are. Though Alex is pretty cool I guess.

Which is why I still want a reboot, go back to Raccoon city, go back to the mansion start over and build from the ground up. Have this dev team do it, they're the best thing to happen to Resident Evil in 11 years.

Apparantly a lot of this team worked on Code Veronica and RE: Zero which are both great entires imo aside from plots/villains that are downright laughable.

I don't know if it shares individual developers with those games, but TOSE worked on all three games and REV1.

Oh boo hoo. Newsflash: I can and will. ;)
In the end, it's all my opinion. Sorry there's people who don't like it.

Why are you guys feeding the obvious troll?
If she wants to waste her time and energy throwing a temper tantrum in a discussion of a game she apparently hates - that's her prerogative.

I'm still heavily against a Resident Evil 'reboot' especially not in the typically: Lets just redo old ideas because we're out of new ones mentality, that's not going to fix anything. If they want to start over, there's no reason they can't start a completely new series. Does it really need the Resident Evil title?

[Deathlygasm]

My original Idea before 5 was to end the series with all the remaining stars members plus Billy and Leon and whoever else taking on the last remnants of Umbrella inside an environmental transforming mansion. Also Spencer would mutate into the final boss, I sure had an imagination in Middle School......

Heres the issue with rebooting RE. Would a reboot going back to Raccoon City or the Mansion actually be as good as REmake and 2? writing, voice acting yeah sure the quality right there would improve but what about the game? REmake is probably the best survival horror game ever made because of how every element of it comes together.

Resident Evil 2 which is obviously dated doesn't need rebooted but rather just a solid REmake.

I just can't see a reboot pleasing people, I can already envision the melt downs if the characters we know and (mostly) love were wiped clean.

I'm thinking this genre and series needs that next big step, and VR could be that next big step it needs. Back in 1996 polygonal zombies, snakes and the other monsters was new, shocking and scary.
Video games as a whole is slowing down, even the likes of The Last of Us just didn't do anything new and nothing since RE4 has taken that genre to new places since.

The plot thickens. Heavenly Island appears to be dealing with the island where Spencer sent Alex to create a virus for immortality.

CLAIRE
What's the evil that came to this island?

It was Americans that initially came.
In the 1930s, an American military base was built on this island. They needed a base here for uneasy global affairs.
The base is now a complete ruin...

CLAIRE
They're the evil?
Let's check a time a little closer...

In the latter half of the 1990s, the ruined military facility was purchased by a businessman.
A research facility was constructed and many researchers migrated there.

This island was Spencer's research facility...

Matches the description here.

The research site I chose is a certain solitary island floating in the South Seas.
It was once a certain nation's military installation, but has been long-abandoned. Taking the researchers, equipment and several hundred test subjects, Alex went there.

^^^ Interesting finds as always!

Alex was an awesome villain! Though, I feel like I would have liked a little more of an IMPACT when Claire and Moira finally found her. We never really got a good look of her face, no cut scene or anything and the forcefield thing obscured her. I wanted to hear Claire's reaction to finding out she's related to Wesker! I hope Natalia's final words in the ending lead toward her return in the near future. I can see Barry being murdered by her and Chris, Jill, and Claire jumping in for revenge. Which would crush me considering how endearing he was in this game!! Can you believe we can't complain about his lack of appearances anymore

Claire's scenario was kind of a throw away but the ending was pretty good. 'James Bakers' performance when Moira got crushed and she didn't want to leave her behind was really well done. I was happy to see her intertwined with Barry's scenario's ending so heavily because I imagined it being the Barry show for the ending. In regards to the actor replacement, while I enjoyed the performance from Claire's new voice actress I feel like the intention was too strongly aimed at 'strengthening her' and growing her up and I feel like in the process a certain spark was lost and I wonder if even Alyson could have made her feel 'right'. I'm replaying in her 'classic' outfit. I'm hoping seeing her like that will make me 'feel her' more.

Barry's was great as always. The mansion was sufficiently creepy and when that one monster fell out of the vents after getting one of the keycards? emblem key? scared me so fucking much I made strange sounds. While I did find Alex' transformation scary, I did notice the similarities between the Japanese-esque spirit from Evil Within. Switching between Claire and Barry was a really nice touch to tie the scenarios together and make both involved with the fight. Barry's one liners were great as always especially when he said "I'll always need you, but for now..." I knew exactly what he was gonna say, "I have this."

Other Note
Poor Lottie ;-;
Polly didn't even show up in the ending!
AND Claire's haircut!? So Jill and Claire actually switched hairstyles ._.;;

Nice satisfying ending. I wouldn't be surprised if a season 2 propped up though.

Despite my own personal issues with what they did with Claire, I think they did a good job of sticking her a little more deeply into the mythology and helping her break out of the role of 'Chris' sister'. There's definitely better potential for her to be used in the future and I really appreciated the greater sense of tying it into the series. 5 and 6's plots were intertwined within the narrative and I felt it was in an organic way. I believe the president from Damnation was mentioned on the radio too.
