Aghhh, yes. <3 I'm sooo excited for the Claire n' Moira team!
Co-op is gonna be fun. RE6 had lotsa weirdness but I still totally had fun because it worked as a co-op game.
I think the two bonus episodes will be free if ya get the season pass dealie. Not sure about the costumes, tho.
Capcom has shared some new info about new enemy types that we will encounter in the new game plus sharing some screenshots
Revenant - a creature made up of multiple bodies sewn together. Very tough and presents a real challenge even when facing just one of them. The virus that has multiplied inside them forms a 'core' which is a weak point you can attack for massive damage. If you use Natalia's special ability you can "see" where the core is on each enemy.
Othrus - wild beasts infected by some kind of virus. Small, nimble and vicious, they attack in packs, so it's best to try to take each one out as soon as possible before they overwhelm you. They have been spotted in both Claire and Barry's sections.
Sploder - A mutated version of the Afflicted. The pustules on their body can potentially explode when attacked so make sure you take them out from a distance. Their explosions releases a vile liquid which can blind the player, perhaps Moira's flashlight can keep them at bay?
Wow, that Glasp enemy seems like it'll be the most annoying thing to fight! The grab looked like an instant kill as their was no prompt to shake out of it. It's kill animation seemed decent, though.
I imagine the Glasp might be rendered visible in Raid Mode, either that or it will cloak/decloak like the Mountain Hunters in the first Revelations. Plus the screen kept getting all fuzzy as it got closer to Barry so there is some indication of how screwed you are.
I am actually impressed with Natalia's instructions, they aren't perfect but at least they can give you an idea of the enemy locations through directions rather than the general advice of "shoot the monster you can't see!" that I would have expected.
It looks like they are doing different maps from the campaign in this game. One complaint that is circulating around is that they are using the same character animations from the previous RE games, but to me it still looks good.
The interesting part in it is that at 1:27 you can see Moira getting tentacle wrapped by Uroboros-kind of Monster , Also at the beginning you can see a glimpse of a zombie biting on Claire
Gina, huh? Those are some nicely sized pillows she's got there. I hope they have some jiggle physics applied to them. They probably won't, though... I guess I know who I will be spending a ton of time playing as in Raid Mode. I'm so predictable.
Interesting trailer, though. I made an animated gif of the very small Moira tentacle portion in the video. Slowed it down for better viewing.
Nah. I agree with you Carl. I'll likely be spending most of my time drooling over Gina too. :P
Shame she is a throw away character like Rachael in Revelations 1. They share the same last name so it could be another bit of RE being overly self referential.
Slippery sliding tentacles... man I get the feeling I'm going to like this game. And likely fill my PS4's hard drive with clips from it.
And with the kind of clothes Moira wore , I wonder where those naughty tentacles went :D , I can't wait to see aunt Claire gets wrapped in those tentacles in the boss fight :D
Recent Capcom blog update has confirmed Jill (Revelations version with the less than great face) will be available for the first wave of Raid Mode, along with some other "familiar faces".
Nice :) , I hope they add her BSAA costume as its model is already in Revelations engine so it won't cost any effort to put it in REV2
Also in an old entry in the capcom blog from last month they said that there would be a total of 15 characters in Raid mode the game , the ones we already know are Claire , Barry , Moira , Gina , Hunk , Wesker and Jill so we know 7 out of 15 , Knowing Capcom and the fact that this is a low budget game then I think the best we can get is characters from REV1 and sadly not a new model for Ada or Sheva for example so I think we can see someone like Jessica in REV2 Raid mode
Just finished the first episode. Character screams are quite good, for those interested in that type of thing.
There are five enemy types iirc.
Afflicted - The basic zombie type you encounter in Claire's scenario. Most are unarmed though some carry weapons like large wrenches or curved blades.
Death Scene 1: The first one you encounter is something of a QTE. If you don't mash the melee button enough times the Afflicted will strangle Claire.
Death Scene 2: Afflicted will grab and bite at Claire/Moira's neck. If your health is low it will push them down to the ground and continue to bite away at the neck, killing them.
Large Afflicted - A taller, muscular, hammer wielding Afflicted. No death scene as far as I know as it just swings its hammer around if you get too close.
Small Bug - Small scorpion/spider like creatures. Don't seem to have any grab or death scenes. They just nip at your legs with their claws, doing light damage.
Zombie - Encountered in Barry's scenario. Emaciated, rotting, and much slower than the Afflicted.
Death Scene 1: The zombie will grab and bite at your throat much like the Afflicted. But if your health is low it will bite you once, your character will grab their side/neck and fall over. Not all that great imo.
Revenant - Seen above. The Revenant is a multi-limbed creature that is capable of taking tons of damage if you don't shoot the weak point Natalia points out.
Death Scene 1: It will grab your character in a bear hug. If you don't press anything its head will split open revealing an Ouroboros like tentacle that will strangle/smother your character.
There might be another death scene with it. I haven't messed with it much.
Orthos - Dog like creature seen above. The Orthos actually has a large toothy maw located at its neck. It can jump on your character and bite away at their arm. I don't know what the death scene will look like yet, due to Raid Mode issues.
I haven't messed around too much with Raid Mode but I'm guessing the available levels as of now will only have enemies that have appeared in this episode so far. Claire, Moira, Barry, and Gina seem to be unlocked from the start. Subsequent characters are unlocked by obtaining a certain number of Completion Medallions.
Messed around a bit more with Raid Mode and I guessed wrong. It seems that some enemies that haven't shown up yet in the available campaigns do appear in some Raid Missions. So far I've encountered the Sploder and Orthos.
And now I've run into a disappointing issue. Raid Mode now runs on a respawn system that revives your character right on the spot you died. So instead of playing out a death scene after a grab, your character is thrown aside or drops to the ground and you are given a prompt asking whether or not you want to revive again. Each revive costs a heart, which you can earn by either completing certain missions or by purchasing them for real money. I've tried dieing in "no respawn" missions and the results seem to be the same. No death scene plays and the character is thrown aside/falls in a canned animation.
Thanks Cnby :) , As predicted the enemies we encounter in this episode are mainly the ones we saw in all old videos
So I have a question because i will play the PC version but it will unlock tomorrow , Can natalia be hit or grabbed or she is invisible even if we control her ?
Shame about the raid mode issue , it is all because of the stupid micro-transactions crapcom inserted in that mode , hope we don't see that kind of crap in the following games as it would be a nightmare for us if they included it in mercenaries in RE7
So when playing as claire , jill and moira in Raid mode and they encounter the Revenant , does he do the bearhug or they erased that too in raid mode ?
I'm also hoping that Residentevil.net will be available for Revelations 2. They had all kinds of fun stuff to download for the first revelations, and events like extra XP for certain enemies killed and also discounts on weapons and parts.

I don't know what you guys have as far as system, but I have xbox360 and the game hasn't been posted yet...any idea of why?
Store update times might be different across consoles.
To answer Boundy's Revenant question from before, it plays out much like other raid deaths. If you run out of health while grabbed no death scene occurs and the character simply falls over dead.
Still messing with Raid Mode and it seems that enemies are being carried over from previous games, along with some enemies that haven't been covered in previews. At this point I've encountered the Scagdead from Revelations 1, who still has his chainsaw insta kill grab. Revelations 1's version of the hunter. The Napad from RE6. The executioner from RE5. And an enemy that looks like a heavily bloated tumor with a large spiked arm sitting atop two human legs. It doesn't have any grabs as far as I know and just slowly swings its arm at you if you get too close. If you're far away it detaches and throws its arm at you like a missile, which explodes on contact.
So all of them still have their QTE/grabs attacks but instead of the death animation we get a simple falling over , right ? so for example the Revenant still have the bearhug attack but with no death animation following it ?
Sorry for asking a lot Cnby :) but as you can see the game hasn't been unlocked for PC yet
I beat the first ep today n' played some Raid mode. It's more fun with co-op. Not as good ryona as like RE5 or 6 tho...
I really like Moira! Ummm, kinda wish there was more ryona for her, though. Dunno, there's 3 eps left so we'll see huh?
I want to point out that there is a DLC alternative costumes pack for characters and surprisingly Claire's alternative costume is her hottest costume ever for her :D even beating her RE2 Costume , it is way similar or should i say identical in style (Reused asset) to Sherry's short shorts alternative costume in RE6 (the one in my signature) but with a cowboy half-shirt and jeans booty shorts O_O , fortunately you can use the alternative costumes in the campaign
Take this with a grain of salt , According to some people at Neogaf who surfed through resident evil revelations files , they have found out some future familiar characters in raid mode and some future extra costumes , i will post them as a spoiler for now
RE2 Claire
S.T.A.R.S Barry
RE6 Chris
RE6 Leon
An extra costume for Moira
Here is some photos for RE2 claire after model swapping
That is actually a big bummer. So the only way we can see full death animations is in the story mode of the game? That would mean the death animation from the Glasp only can applied to Barry. How disappointing. Would've liked to see that done on Claire. I guess it is possible to do it with model swapping in the PC version.
Due to the 6 month gap between the two campaigns then Claire's campaign enemies are human-like ones that has boring uninteresting attacks and death animations while barry's campaign has the creatures with great ryona potential , Based on what we saw then I think Mutated Neil is our only interesting ryona thing that may happen in Claire's Campaign OR Capcom may Surprise us and make both the Glasp and Revenant be fully mutated by the Time Claire's Chapter 3 or 4 happens

Also I encountered Rasklapanje in one Raid mode (The one with the queen zenobia big hall) but I didn't try to die to him so I will try to see if it has any special grabs or not
