New Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Info (Claire, Barry's Daughter, 1080p/60FPS, co-op)

I've always been pretty surprised on the sheer amount of love she gets from RE fans.
She's always been pretty low tier for me where re characters are concerned.

Agreed she is just above Rachele for me and Rachele did nothing but die.

Claire just seems so meh.. the Outbreak Females had more too them then she did
 
I recently played Revelations again
because it was so forgettable
and she really is an awful character. The whole first chapter you're introduced to her all she goes on about is JILL and how her and Chris' relationship is.

Not to mention "ME AND MY SWEET ASS ARE ON MY WAY".

At least Excella was a HBIC with her thirst. Jessica just came across as an insecure dickhead.

You call RER forgettable and yet stan for Excella, bye. How much screen time did she get in RE5? Five whole minutes
before she got killed?

Jessica is not insecure or even interested in Chris,
she is a cold spy and traitor, she was playing with his feelings.

She will return and kill your faves once again!

YES! Never forget Alyssa Ashcroft. Man, she should get her own game. I'd have to settle for a Ben Bertolucci-esque cameo at worst.

She is useless trash and you will deal. At least Excella was the head of a multi-national conglomerate.

Age: ~trade secret~

Too bad she is DEAD.

Well that daughter thing was unexpected

If this takes place between RE5-RE6, then it's probably set in 2010-2012, 12-14 years after that epilogue pic (1998).

The older girl looks 12-14, the younger 7-8. The older would be 24-28, and the younger 19-22.

I'm going to say Moira is the younger sister, and that's the age she most looks like in the pics.

Plus this way both Claire and Moira can have the older sibling thing to talk about in their downtime :)
 
Finally images of a new RE, very exciting. Don't get everyone's whining about Claire. As everyone says this seems like a TLOU take on things. I assume Barry will be playable in a second half or extra mode where he goes super dad to save his daughter, should be amazing. I love the look of the new enemies.

When I read the article summary I saw this "return to survival horror roots" yes! "Just like revelations" motherfucker. Revelations was not like ORE. Can capcom make a cheap downloadable $20 old school RE game, tank controls, static camera angles, the whole deal.

Never played Outbreak, so I looked up this Alyssa Ashcroft:

Yeah, this character looks pretty awesome.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but she was the most interesting of the Outbreak characters, I thought. Besides Yoko of course, but Yoko was cheating since she had ties to
...Umbrella
.

I like her Outbreak 2 artwork better.


The only other female I can think of is Cindy, who I feel has had most of her "look" filled by grown up Sherry Birkin. The men of Outbreak were pretty good characters too.

There was a lot of potential there, actually. I'm surprised Capcom never really revisited them, even in vacant mentions in other games.
 

Crossing Eden

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Down-to-earth, friendly, confident, caring, hot, plucky tomboy goes a long way in any situation.

I think it's the fact that she is, or was, basically a civilian (aside from the survival tips Chris gave her) in a franchise full of soldiers, agents and spies that endears her to players.



I don't agree, even in situations where a game won't suffer a visual tradeoff due to having already been created for a lower-spec console, as in this case.

Aesthetically, it can certainly make a difference. For the reasons people found MGSV's shaky cam cutscenes disorienting in 60fps, or thought The Hobbit's interiors looked fake and studio-like in 48fps, there's something to be said for the way the brain processes non-existent frames. I think it suits horror more enormously, for one.

As for gameplay, you really need to design gameplay around 60fps, ie by implementing single frame actions or extremely quick enemy actions, for it to make a difference. Since Revelations 2 has no doubt been designed around 30, I think it won't really matter which platform I buy it on. And it'll look more consistent with the series if I play in 30, which I probably will.
It's weird how people are so used to lower framerates that a higher framerate will disorient them, that's not the game's problem. And regardless if the game was designed around 30fps, we have multiple examples, including examples in the resident evil series, of games translating just fine to 60fps, re5,6, last of us, tomb raider, just to name a few. So no they don't need to design everything at 60fps, it's not the hardest thing in the world to do when you have three versions of the game designed to take advantage of better hardware. And the visuals taking a hit is not a very valid excuse, look at those screens, this game isn't going to be pushing visual boundaries anytime compared to something like re5 when it first released. and the hobbit has no place here since film framerate and game framerate are two completely different things.

It just occurred to me that Capcom could totally do Taken: Barry Burton Edition if they were to go with that story route. I'd imagine Barry is primed to make an appearance in this given who's involved.

I still wish the whole outbreak crew got their own game.
For such a diverse cast with just 2 mp games to go off of they were all very interesting.

Not being sarcastic, I actually like the character aesthetically.
 
A bit OT, but are the RE: Outbreak titles worth it going solo? May come into possession of a PS2 so I can get around to the system's Silent Hill games (and dust off my Dino Crisis titles), so I figured I'd try them out.

And they were all woven into the storylines pretty well, if I remember correctly. The ones that stand out as being the most obvious are Yoko and her connection to the events of Resident Evil 2 and Alyssa liaising on multiple occasions with Ben Bertolucci about corruption in the RPD. Kevin worked at the RPD, presumably in the same department as Marvin Branagh and George presumably worked at the hospital from RE3 as a physician.

I totally forgot that the dude who directed Outbreak also directed Resident Evil 6, too. :p

actaully she is alive, she escaped from Raccoon

He was referring to Queen Excella Gionne.

I found them very difficult solo, so I enjoyed them with friends more so. I'm not sure what other people think. I do think they stand up a bit better than other Resident Evil games since they aren't the "old style" and feel like a compromise between old and new as a result.

actually yes... though do some reading up on how the characters work. As each character has their own personality and that plays out with how they work together when selecting a team.
 
Oh god, whiny RE "fans" already crying about capcom ruining the character. ...What else did I expect?

Claire looks great!
After the horrible character designs of the first Revelations I'm happy to see a female character that's not a sexualized silly blow up doll. Plus she looks like she has actually aged a bit, something videogame women tend to not do.
Whoever claims she does not look like Claire,... well, maybe check your eyes.
Awesome comeback for her (character design wise), good job so far capcom.
Can't really comment on the statements regarding gameplay, though. I've heard the old back-to-the-roots line way too many times for it to still hold any meaning.

Of course, I finished them on solo back in the day. Servers were too slow were I lived.
It's got a great atmosphere and the soundtracks are pure eargasm.

I am a man with a particular set of skills. I have weapons that are extremely powerful, especially against living things. I will crush you into a sandwich. You better be the master of hiding cause I will look for you, I will find you, And I will kill you with THIS!

jesus christ what have they done to claires face? it doesnt resemble re2, cvx, darkside chroncles, degeneration or operation racoon city claire. I understand some time has passed given sherry birkin re2 vs re6, but it doesnt even look like claire.

I was expecting the worst after some of the comments about Claires new look. Its not that bad, looks perfectly fine.

I really want to see some footage of the game. I guess TGS is my best bet.

Thanks, so those I'll add to the list of titles to hunt down. I owned the first one, but there was an issue with my PS2 that cropped up when trying to play the game (everything was blue framework except the character and enemy models)that lead me to ditch the PS2 for the rest of the gen in favor of the 'Cube and Xbox.

Edit: Claire looks like she aged poorly into her 40s. I'll hold judgement though. After all, that's pretty small considering what Revelations, RE5, and RE6 have already done to the franchise in regards to my tastes.

I am so extremely hyped for this now.

Claire confirmed, Barry's daughter could be an awesome character, sneaking around, and all those dev quotes about listening to feedback but also wanting to try their own thing really inspired a lot of faith in this one for me.

Also Moira is seriously giving me some Becky Chambers vibes.

She looks like she's in her 30s, which she is.

Claire looks alright, better than Jill's face in RE:R

Barry must return if his daughter is in this, at least a cameo. Have they said if there will be multiple playable characters, like in the original (besides Claire/Barry's Daughter)?

Agreed.
Him and chris alone made me love RE5.

The whole game had such a sense of finality to it, it really was a special moment for people who had been following these characters from the beginning all the way to here.

I realised after finishing Resident Evil 6 that we probably won't get a "feeling" like that ever again :(

Wesker was perfection in that game, shame no RE villain will ever match his awesomeness.

Agreed, and he was already awesome.

In fact, I've been thinking about it lately- RE no longer has a consistent villain, and it needs one. Bioterrorist crazies of the month are fine, but Wesker's visage and persona was iconic. I know it's going to be tricky to come up with something like that again, but I do think they should try. Spencer's lineage might be a good avenue to explore. Simmons could have been great but simply wasn't interesting.

It's weird how people are so used to lower framerates that a higher framerate will disorient them, that's not the game's problem.

I'm very used to 60fps, I have dozens and dozens of fighters, racers, platformers etc which are 60fps. But I think 30fps has its place in certain situations, and I don't regard it as a dirty word, thorn in my side, or something to crusade against.

They should just up the ante now and make Ada the villain. She's outlasted Wesker despite working under him (which, in eevrybody elses case, hasn't turned out that well) and surely that's got to go to her head. >_>

Her first assignment can be to assassinate Jessica.
