Topic: Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Not for Wii U)

Moar money, moar problems. Tomb Raider scenario taught us that well.

I guess it is a good thing I didn't buy the first one during the sale

Just when I thought this was gonna be another game where I'm sad isn't hitting the Wii U... it just got revealed at Capcom is releasing this game episodic style. Which means.. "Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil Revelations 2 will release as a weekly series of episodic downloads, with the first 4 episodes priced at $5.99 per episode. A Complete Season pack will be available at $24.99 with a retail boxed version to follow.

The disc version and the Complete Season pack will include additional content not available via individual episode purchase." All that came from Gameinformer.com

WOW, huh?

That's not a bad method to follow, it will be interesting to see how things goes.

Not a bad method get it out as soon as ready for the impatient while the patient can wait for the better deal.

Um...pardon my language, but WHAT?! That makes no sense at all

@Blast

That sounds really great to me, buy the first episode for cheap and if I like it opt in for the season pass. I'm hoping even more games adopt this business model this console generation.

There is basically no benefit to buying this game as individual episodes. And if the game is really worth just $25.00.... hint hint

You hope more games do this??? Are you joking? Do you know who Capcom is and how doing stuff like this can spiral into a horrible pattern?!?!

Telltale games are doing it, Square Enix are doing it and Capcom are now doing it. It is clear that this stuff has a strong market. Edit: MS is doing it as well.

@blast

Yep I sure do. I live the tellaltle games which are episodic, and spartan ops in Halo 4. The horror genre is almost tailor made for episodic content. I also love Killer Onstcint and looking forward to D4.

I don't see the problem when you can buy the complete package on disc.

Microsoft too with D4 and Killer Instinct, also its rumored that Phantom Dust and the add-ons for Quantum Break will as well.

$24 for individual episodes. Early Access than those who wait.
$25 for complete version, with bonus content. Patience is good.
$40 for physical version, with bonus content. Teh digital future.

Not a bad set up, people can approach it however they deem worthy. You can get ripped off, go for the better and complete deal or go for the physical version because the downside of a digital future.

FYI, this thread has been moved to "Other Gaming" since it's not coming to Wii U

The full season pass

Not a fan of that payment model at all..

It's been quite a few years since we've seen Claire Redfield in her own adventure, but early next year she she'll face all-new dangers and dread in Resident Evil Revelations 2. As some fans may already know, since the Code: Veronica days she's joined the anti-bioterror organization Terra Save, helping people around the world deal with ongoing bio threats. Revelations 2 begins with Claire welcoming Moira Burton - daughter of Barry! - into Terra Save, but in true RE fashion it's not long before trouble finds our heroes.

Revelations 2 begins with Claire welcoming Moira Burton - daughter of Barry! - into Terra Save, but in true RE fashion it's not long before trouble finds our heroes.

The party is crashed, Claire and Moira are knocked unconscious and taken to a mysterious detention center located on an island. They soon encounter demented, writhing enemies called Afflicted roaming the halls of this abandoned facility, and have to team up to survive. The real question is, who brought them here? And... why?

If that sounds a bit like a cliffhanger ending, well... it's intentional. If you recall, the original Revelations told its story with chapters divided into TV-like episodes (even featuring "Previously in Resident Evil Revelations" bumpers). This storytelling technique continues in Revelations 2, which will debut as four weekly downloadable episodes and then as a physical disc once the saga has unfolded.

Each week will end with some kind of cliffhanger that should spur further conversation and speculation; if you want to stay on top of the latest twist, you'll want to check out the weekly episodes. But if you're more interested in an all-in-one experience, there will be a "complete season" digital option and the aforementioned disc for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC.

The game seems like an obvious stop with this and the Resident Evil 1 remake holding time till Resident Evil 8.

My concern is that with the episodic structure it means there wont be a raid mode which was my favorite thing about revelations one

My guess is raid mode is among the extras with the retail version and will be DLC for the digital edition.
