Both of these episodes have some...odd parameters, in terms of gameplay mechanics. Is it just me or is Moira wearing Claire's jacket in that first image? I wonder if that means the gap between Claire and Barry's story then involves some sort of Last of Us style twist where Claire is injured/killed at the climax of her side of the story and Moire has to put to use what she learned in Claire's school of hard knocks to survive without her DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Mar 9, 2015 |

codenameFANGIO posted:I'm pretty sure the Gamecube ports are literally just the Playstation 1 versions with zero graphical upgrades of any kind. IIRC it was something like the DC versions having high res player/NPC models, but no other 3D objects were higher res and the backgrounds were like the PSX so it kind of clashed at times (like when the gun shop is busted into in RE2, the huge shards of glass). The GC version's characters aren't quite as improved as the DC version, but they are slightly along with everything else. It was honestly very difficult to tell the difference when actually playing them though, and I wouldn't let it effect which version one plays. Though the GC versions do have the arranged modes for some variety. One thing that I don't see mentioned though is that the DC and Gamecube versions have noticeably clear sound than the PSX games. The biggest letdown with the GC version is that it wasn't a port of the N64 game which had some cool extras not in any other version.

So I've been playing the Remaster on Steam and spotted something pretty cool in the backyard crypt I'd never noticed before. I'm no expert, but it looks like Greek script on the stones underneath the slots for the death masks. I'd really like to find out if they actually say something interesting or if its just random nonsense. On another note, that room looks like it got a much more thorough overhaul than any of the other areas I've seen so far. It almost looks like a high quality real time environment instead of a touched up pre-rendered backdrop, and I really wish the rest of the game had gotten the same treatment.

I'm no scholar of Greek, but the first line of text seems be a loose interpretation of "Capcom", the Greek 'X' letter being more generally used for a 'ch' sound, though. The second line appears to say "ugchbeenl", and given that everything past that is one huge block of letters, it doesn't look promising.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Given some of the utter nonsense written on the items you pick up if you examine them, I'd be astounded if Capcom used the Greek letters for anything but more gibberish.

I've completed all the current Raid Mode levels and the throwback pack. Once you find a legendary it can be generated in the shop. I've seen about six Drakes there since I found mine. Has anyone found a Pale Rider?

I'm really enjoying the campaigns so far, they're pretty good and surprisingly re-playable. I just finished the first episode in countdown mode, Barry's section up until you escape the prison was really stingy with the time crystals. I'm not coming around to Raid mode though. It's just pointless. It's a score mode with no scoring mechanism and a horde mode with barely any enemies coming at you. It's funny that even when Capcom are obviously half arsing it like they are with this title, the basic Resident Evil formula is still a good one. You would hope they would be able to make a really good full numbered entry now.

I really want to like Revelations 2, but it's just so frustrating to play. I really like that they cared so little about the PC port that they made the default sprint key alt and the swap characters key tab, and nobody realized how phenomenally dumb that is.  This is the first Resident Evil game I've played that I didn't have a good time playing, and I don't like that feeling one bit.

I'm kind of feeling an itch to play one of the older games but it's been almost a decade since I played any before RE4, I think. Edit: Also, what are critical hits in raid mode? I have a bunch of half formed memories from Rev1's raid mode and i can't recall what it is exactly. Is it just that every shot has a chance to cause extra damage or was it that you have to be hitting the weak point and then you have a chance for even more bonus damage?

I got into the raid mode and I like it well enough, but jesus if this game isn't a grabby cash-in. I'm re-playing re6 areas with inferior graphics. How come this game looks so plain? i mean it's alright and rev 1 looked great on 3ds, but this is a bit bleh.InequalityGodzilla posted:You say that like more The Last Of Us is a bad thing? It's not bad, but I already played that game through many times. Say what you want about the later re games, but 5 is different from 4 and 6 is different from both of them and rev1 is more of a mix between the classic re feel with modern re setting. This feels a bit like "welp, people liked the raid more and The Last of Us, so let's make some decent money" How come this is episodic anyway?

I would be really surprised if The Last of Us was any influence on this game whatsoever. I'm putting off the remaining episodes until I can play them all at once, but what I got out of the first chapter wasn't so much half-assed as stripped down. It's Resident Evil at its basest elements, with a team that's working in an unfamiliar format. It's not quite amateurish, although the PC optimization is troubling; it's more like they deliberately aren't bringing their A-game because they aren't sure how much they can get away with in a download. ManOfTheYear posted:How come this is episodic anyway? It's an experiment by Capcom. For a long stretch of last year, the company's profits remained high despite a lack of new releases, which was entirely on the strength of rereleasing their catalog on Steam and other direct-download services. They're looking into alternative methods of content delivery, and if direct downloads on the game outsell the disc version, I'd imagine you'll see them gradually move further away from brick-and-mortar stores.

Well, you can crouch now and you've got stealth kills (althought I think those were in 6?) and Natalie has that skill where you can see the figures of enemies through walls and the weapon upgrades are done on a work bench. It's a bit Last of Us-sy. Also you can pick up and throw (glowing) bricks. ManOfTheYear fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Mar 10, 2015 |

It's like The Last Of Us was fairly stock or something. like I don't mean to poo poo on the game (okay I do a little bit) but it's very hard to claim something draws inspiration from Last of Us when it has no unique elements to very obviously signposted "We were inspired by this", Rev2 is another TPS with a lot of the standard TPS mechanics.

Stupid plots have been a requirement since the very first game. When your antagonist is basically always a corporation with the dumbest business plan ever it's always going to be dumb. This is not a bad thing.

This is not a bad thing. Trying to treat Resident Evil as serious is a bad idea, even for the developers. The awful dialogue and voice acting of the first 3 was crucial, and RE4 wouldn't have been nearly as awesome if there wasn't awful jokes and scenery chewing. In a way, Barry is a microcosm of everything right with the whole series.

If Capcom moves towards having the Revelations series be more like the original games and the numbered series be more like 5 and 6, then good for them. It gives those of us that didn't like the last two game something to have fun with and they still get to keep all the fans that liked 5 and 6. Also, Polygon is doing a let's play of Rev2. They did some local co-op and other than the split-screen looking weird, it seemed pretty fun if one person is ok with not having a gun. Just don't don't expect much from their fight with the boss of Barry's second episode, it's hilariously inept. Butt Ghost posted:No, I just think it's a mediocre shooter with bad AI. I'd say that LoU is more of a story game with some shooting and stealth added to avoid being another Heavy Rain, but what's a good shooter with good AI that actually has a story worth paying attention to? I can't think of very many, as anyone that would complain about LoU would probably complain about the BioShock games. Also, LoU has a terrific multiplayer mode.
