Wow, looks pretty awesome.

Somehow it looks more Silent Hill-ish.

Oh and FUCK YEAH CLAIRE!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Judging from what we've had, they'll both be action. One will just be advertised differently and have a worse combat system.

Yeah i'm still curios exactly what's in store.
Though we won't have to wait long since it is playable at TGS. So were bound to get some impressions and maybe even a gameplay video pretty quick.

 

[papercan55]

I want dude bro evil, bro

 

[saher]

Looks like his daughter didn't age since RE3.

 

[Mupod]

According to her twitter she hasn't been contacted at all regarding reprising the role.

If that's true, I truly wonder what the point is? Why does Capcom always feel the need to replace established voice actors since day one? They even got rid of Paul Mercer who voiced Leon in RE4 and Degeneration. Alyson has been the only long running VA since RE2 that has retained her role and continuity and now she may be getting replaced. Why?

At this point I'd rather she wasn't even in the game then.

Oh come on. I actually can't think of any other game characters that have kept a consistent voice actor for as long as Claire Redfield.

 

[Alienous]

Where the fuck is Sheva?

 

[Zabant]

The new Claire model looks like fucking Tobey Maguire

*fine it's gone*

A cropped photo of her face taken with a phone is a bit of a stretch to call a scan

 

[ArchedThunder]

"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.”

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)."

These details sound terrible. I was hoping the main character would be someone who ISN'T used to BOWs.

 

[ZombieFred]

I'm curious as to how well they'll handle Barry's backstory, if any of it is mentioned in this game. After Raccoon City he became a member of the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team, the same secret U.S. military agency as Leon. I wonder if they'll even mention this. If they do, that'll be excellent, but if they don't, that's fine too.

I just hope they don't make him BSAA, though it's unlikely anyway due to his presence at the gala. If he's private security for TerraSave or something after the military agency was disbanded back in 2003/4, that would be most excellent.

I am hoping with the open dialogue/file history trivia in this game will dwell into this. Considering how Pivotal Barry Burton is in related to this I would be surprised if this doesn't get mentioned at all. More than anything I am hoping the translation job won't be crap.

I have a strange feeling you're going to be waiting a long long time.

 

[Neff]

60fps doesn't suit RE. There, I said it.

Otherwise, this all sounds good. Give me a decent amount of enemies and some puzzles and this should be a winner.

 

[Nemesis_]

Do we even know if he's hugging Moira or Polly in that image? Or are you talking about the woman on the left? Because that's clearly Kathy.

Edit the scan out of your post.

but yeah i have to say she looks a bit weird in that shot.

 

[Riposte]

Don't do that

Suited it in the past just fine.

 

[Seik]

OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooh okay.

So I just saw the scans, what the fuck happened to Claire? D:

 

[DedValve]

Claire looks fine to me.
I like the fact that people age in the RE series.
She looks like Darskide Chronicles Claire but older.

There's aging and then there's changing your face. I'm pretty sure your face isn't supposed to change.

 

[News Bot]

He's hugging Polly. Moira is the eldest.

60fps suits literally everything.

Get rid of that scan ASAP

She's had a hard life.

can't unsee now...

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yikes, this game's graphics look super rough.

 

[Finaika]

Claire looks old, like she's 30.

 

[Goldenhen]

Claire looks old, like she's 30.

Well she supposed to be 35 years old now.

 

[Xpliskin]

He's kinda right

My little finger tells me magazine pictures are from the TGS demo.

 

[Neff]

Suited it in the past just fine.

You mean the doors?

Yeah, they were cool, I guess.

 

[Ganondorfo]

We should be happy, finally a game where Claire is the big star again. It's been a while since year 2000.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

We want puzzles and searching for keys to unlock doors... then we are cool again!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I wonder why the game is called "Revelations 2" instead of Resident Evil 7.

Maybe because Revelations was much better than Resident Evil 6?

They're probably splitting the series. Revelations will lean closer to the classic style while the mainline entries will continue on their current path.

 

[News Bot]

Because it's a prequel, not a sequel.

"Revelations" is now the sub-title of prequels that cover stories and events between the numbered titles. However, Revelations titles are still part of the main series.

 

[Finaika]

Well she supposed to be 35 years old now.

Wow, will this be the first Japanese game with a 30+ year old female protagonist?

 

[Samir Sedlar]

Claire Redfield is back, that is pretty awesome, I worried about the whole Co-Op and Moira, Would have loved if we got play as Barry, but we will see how things unfolds.

If not sure about this, but can we switch between Claire and Moira ?, cause it seems that way from what I'm reading/seeing.

The new Afflicted enemy type are interesting, we need to see more, but this could be the return we have been waiting for.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well technically Bayonetta is hundreds of years old

 

[News Bot]

You do.

 

[Y2Kev]

Well technically Bayonetta is hundreds of years old

also many of the girls in the games on the vita

I think they're just splitting it so they can make more games because revelations 1 wasn't anything like classic re

Moira can't fight, she just has a flashlight, but player 2 in Co-op plays as her.

 

[Savitar]

They really need to ditch the co op.

Revelations was supposed to be the return we were waiting for. I'm just hoping for a solid campaign with a deep weapon rpg system all re4. There's not going to be a return to true horror but at least give me a replay able campaign.

 

[Stone Ocean]

This half naked loli is a millenia-old vampire, I swear!

 

[rougetaal]

What's wrong with Claire's design?
You do realize she was 19 in Resident Evil 2 whereas in Resident Evil Revelations: 2 she's in her 30's(33 or 34). Her sense of style will have changed.

 

[Lernaean]

They sound interesting to me too.
And yes, i hope the series makes a return to basics. RE:R turned out as one of my favorite RE games.

The image of Moira's flashlight blinding an Afflicted gives me hope. It would appear that if you run out of ammo or health, Moira is your only hope at staying alive as Claire.

That type of asymmetry could work really well in a CO-OP survival horror game. CO-OP doesn't just mean more guns in the mix. Each person is severely weakened when their partner isn't around.

 

[Dragon1893]

Claire's design has always been pretty consistent up until now.

CV:

Darkside Chronicles:

Degeneration:

To people saying her design is fine, would you honestly be able to recognize her if you didn't know it's her?

 

[Ganondorfo]

Barry will be the final boss, it will be a very emotional final boss battle, where his daughter wont have the guts to do it, so she let Claire do it and then Claire will say a Resident Evil one liner like "I am sorry Barry". The next scene is in a chopper with a crying Claire and Jill.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It was a hell of a lot closer to the classic style than the recent mainline entries have been. You gotta take what you can get. :/

 

[Stone Ocean]

No need to go that far, how many redheads with ponytails are there in the RE games?

Her face doesn't look like Claire.

 

[Jobbs]

can't wait.. revelations 1, while not perfect (the action levels were terrible), was really enjoyable.

not sure why capcom is unwilling to let go of co-op, though. being truly alone has a way of making these experiences more suspenseful.

I agree.
