Here are some early details on the game, copied and pasted from one of the first links on The Google:
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 – New Details Revealed, First Screenshots, Claire Redfield, Burton & More! There are also some magazine scans I didn't want to hotlink and am too lazy to save and upload to imgur. Okay, fine, here's one of Claire and
Ellen Page Moira:
- Claire Redfield will return as the playable lead and it is said that “In the time since we last saw her (Claire), she’s grown to be a seasoned veteran.”
- Claire will be joined throughout the campaign with Moira Burton, daughter of the legendary Barry Burton.
The campaign will be playable in co-op or singleplayer.
- When playing as Claire, her style will be more combat focused. Whereas Moira will be supplying Claire with health herbs, provided the flashlight and general support.
- Claire will be the only player death that will result in a Game Over, one of Moira’s key roles will be to help keep Claire alive (though Claire can obviously heal herself).
- The story will take place on an abandoned island detention facility.
- The campaign will begin with Claire and Moira awakening after being abducted.
- The events will take place between the events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6.
- Gameplay will be much more Survival Horror orientated (much like the first Resident Evil: Revelations), bringing the series back to its roots with less over the top action, unlike Resident Evil 5 and 6.
- Fan feedback has played a part in the development of Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Producer Okabe said that “The project has been finding the line between listening to fan feedback and also doing something different to confound expectations.”
- Okabe also said that “I want this to be both a game that doesn’t lose what made its predecessor great, while also bringing something new and exciting to the Resident Evil series.” He also added that “Achieving that lofty goal by bringing together past and future will make this an itchy-tasty prospect indeed.”
- Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will feature a new “Afflicted” enemy type, which “may look like zombies, but are in fact something quite different.”
- The Afflicted enemy will be both fast and able to deal heavy damage to the player. It is also said that they will force the player to decide whether to take them head-on, sneak up using stealth and applying a take-down or the player can run for the hills and “preserve ammo”.
- Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will run at 1080p and 60fps (for the PC and new gen versions at least).
I really liked the first Revelaitons. I put a ton of time into the 3DS version then got to the middle of Trench difficulty (Normal) in Raid Mode in the Wii U version before stopping. I haven't had the urge to pick it up again. I think oohhboy once referred to Raid Mode as a "bullet sponge simulator" which is pretty accurate. I really enjoyed it in the beginning then it just got old. Anyway, I think co-op will help the sequel tremendously in the campaign. The lack of local multiplayer in the console versions of original was total ass.
Revelaitons 2 is announced for every current platform except Wii U and 3DS (boo-urns). Since that's the case, I'll probably just end up waiting until I eventually buy a PS4. It'll definitely be $20 by then. It's nice to see Claire back even though I prefer Jill. I still find it odd that this series keeps introducing new characters without catching up on so many of the old ones, namely Rebecca and Barry for that matter (though I really wouldn't be surprised if he shows up here). Hopefully, Moira isn't an annoying douche like Wesker's son, Jake.
