I must stand up for Rev1. I liked it better overall compared to Rev2. The campaign in rev1 mixes up enemy positions depending on either difficulty level or new game+. Which makes it fun when you start seeing late game enemies before you would ever see a second type in earlier difficulties. It is also more of a metroidvania than other entries where you can get rewards for revisiting older locations in different chapters. Story is anime as all hell, so that can be either a plus or a minus. The raid mode was expanded on in Rev2, gun and mods wise, and its okay, but misses some of the magic I felt in Rev1. In Rev1 raid you played through sections of the campaign with different enemy combos and positions that also changed depending on difficulty level. In Rev2, it mostly consists of small arenas with waves of enemy spawning, mostly taken from RE6. Not much changed between difficulty levels either outside of some enemies getting powered up. I was kinda let down by it and the only thing I really liked was not depending on RE.net contests to get good weapon drops, but now it is all low RNG chance. Both are good games Rev1 is a bit clunky compared to rev2, but I think it makes up for it in other areas. It definitely shouldn't be cast aside and it offers a lot more replay than Rev2 in my view.

I actually agree that Rev1's raid mode had a certain X factor that Rev2's is lacking.

Revelation 1's Raid mode also had the unique character VO intros and on mission completion that were removed in the sequel.

In Training posted:Rev2 on switch is fun for Raid mode. The actual campaign of Rev2 is kinda lame. There's nothing really memorable about any of the area or enemy designs. It looks like any silent hill game you forgot existed. i thought the claire second chapter of rev 2 was really outstanding, and the only part of the game i disliked was the dreaded SEWER LEVEL!!!!! actually claire and barry chapter 1 were really strong too, but when you consider it was released as an episodic game that's to be expected so mentally i dock it some points for that.

Revelations 2 is one of the rare games where the two characters you play as in Co-Op mode are genuinely completely different from one another so that's worth several points all on its own.

Personally, I found that a bit of a downside in practice. Every time I've played Rev2 with someone in local co-op, both of us would rather have been playing the active, shooty character rather than the one who has to stay mostly out of the way and can only really take a support role. It's nice as a game design thing, but it really hinges on one person being willing to not be able to shoot zombies for most of a playthrough.

It absolutely stinks if you both want to be the shooty person, but the people I co-oped with 100% did not ever want to be responsible for shooting that it worked out fantastically. Does this mean its an unambiguously good thing? Nah, but I give points cause its something I love and gives the game a lot of texture even if it can be offputting

It's a really great idea, I just wish it didn't appeal to me more in concept than in execution. One thing I always wished that game had? Giving co-op players the same ability to switch between characters that you have in single player. It would've fixed my biggest issue with the whole thing, namely that one player will either be stuck doing nothing or doing everything for a whole level. There's no real reason why it shouldn't have that, the game practically built around it, after all. I mean, you can of course hand over controllers between yourselves, but it's just not the same thing.

One player gets to be shooty man while the other an unkillable ghost that can cause various shenanigans or possess enemies if they feel like using guns again.

moira is loving wolverine while claire has to use herbs to heal what im saying is moira is definitely always the pointman, 100% of the time in SP (and maybe co-op too) also rev1 raid mode has actual level design and gimmick levels (and difficulties that change layouts, even) alongside a bonus final level which is Literally The Entire loving Game All At Once rev2 is just killboxes, it sucks rear end

Yeah, Revelations 1 is really great fun when you are playing as Jill. But it sucks rear end when you are playing as the side characters. Also the Raid mode in part 1 is miles above the raid mode in part 2.

Rev 1 had a plot that is absolutely 100% never be referenced again, but Rev 2 is actually grounded enough that it could very much be picked up. And it would be hilarious to be in the world where Barry Burton is raising the last Wesker child.

Rev 1 basically just establishes how the BSAA came to be. The central outbreak incident in the game is also cited as being a sort of catalyst for the rest of the ones that followed. Rev 2 picks up a plot thread hinted at in one of RE 5's DLCs and spins a very compelling narrative out of it, and leaves the door open for its events to be followed up on in future titles.

Thank you for the new av. E: I have not even tried revelations aside from the 3DS demo. Felt too burned by pervious spin off games. I think Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii was the last one I bought. EvilBlackRailgun fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Mar 9, 2020 |

I kind of appreciate the first Revelations for being a game about an intricate conspiracy with a lot of moving parts and truly global consequences, but it blows up on the runway almost as soon as it begins and the rest of the game is a mad scramble to try and derive some value from it. The central revelation is that Morgan Lansdale

Yeah the mistake they made was assuming that every room with a typewriter is a safe room, but that wasn't even true in RE2 (RCPD main hall). If you hear the music you're safe. Probably.

It is generally speaking true in every other RE game up to Resident Evil 4, though, so it's a reasonable assumption to make, even if it's mistaken.

Am I going crazy or doesn't at least Raid in Rev2 have online co-op as an option? I don't have it installed on my PS4 atm and I'm not going to bring it back just to check, but I thought the blue door in the waiting room was for online matchmaking.

Rev 2 Raid def had online co-op and my son played it a bunch. We always split-screened the campaign and I never even realized it wasn't an option.
