Get a look at Resident Evil: Revelations 2 with the first trailer released today by Capcom. The tite, divided by 4 chapters, will be out in early 2015.
i just hope they keep the original survival aspects alive. i'm so happy that Claire finally comes back. it's been 14 years since they kept up with her story.
I think they are testing the waters with smaller budget episodic game and the REmake. They might wanna see if actual survival horror sells.
If these are good AND sell we might see RE returning to what once was.
Really excited about this and REmake.
The bullshit PR of "we're testing the waters with this" is constantly thrown around with Resident evil to try and guilt those still lost in a haze of nostalgia that if they don't buy into it they'll never get that Resident evil that goes back to it's "survival horror" roots. They did the same with RE6, they recently did the same with the remake of the remade RE1...and kids that were gaming in the 90's get in a panic and lap it up.
It doesnt matter if Resident evil is slow and cumbersome to control, or fast and 3rd person action. It will never be a horror game that offers jumps and a sense of dread. It may have done when we were 13 and didnt know any better, but REs biggest crutch will ALWAYS be present - the terrible corny soap opera story. The type of story arcs that can only immerse those that spoon-feed themselves TOWIE and the like. Everybody else it will (rightly) remove you from any sort of tension or feeling of fear due to it's comedic value. In the end the only thing sales of this and the RE1 remake remake will do is make sure they push out yet more lazy RE remakes, and MAYBE offer a poorly controlled, comedicaly scripted, B-movie "horror" game.
I though it was a very solid and effective trailer. I've not enjoyed the RE series since #4, and I'm actually looking forward to seeing more of this one. This looks to be a positive change of pace for the series.

Time for this franchise to die.
